Chapter 17 by Yabusa Yabusa

What's Yuki's first action while awake?

Yuki jumps right at you!

There was barely a moment to react, as Yuki moved at a speed far beyond what you could track with your eyes. The bodysuit unraveled into spirals of flesh, appearing like the monster Zoe was afraid she would be viewed like from strangers when the bodysuit no longer resembled anything remotely human. There was no chance to reason with the bodysuit, before she made a split-second choice.

Yuki sprang right before you, and she struck you with full ****! Her impact to your body hit with enough strength to knock you to the ground, skidding across the floor. Her tendrils slapped hard against you as she sealed up completely around you, encasing you fully in her fluctuating body.

It was such a strange sensation, with a frightened bodysuit unable to choose a single form to use, or at least unwilling to do so. Your arms and legs were rapidly changing length, as was the rest of your body, making it near impossible to try to sit upright--every time you tried to prop yourself up, your arms would change length and you'd lose your grip, putting you back down on the ground again. It was easier to just lay down and shut your eyes. At least you had motor control, if nothing else, and Yuki was subject to the whims of your choice of movements so long as she remained affixed to your body. That amount of control only did so much, though, the constant shifting was giving you something akin to motion sickness the whole time.

"Could we just... calm down, please? This is really too much!" You spoke aloud, hearing your voice fluctuate over time. Yuki didn't respond, but you felt that her shapeshifting frequency was in fact slowing down, somewhat. She stopped shifting enough to where you could sit up, at least, but she was still unsteady in her decision to decide on a shape. Maybe she never really had a default form? And this was all she knew to do. Amanda hurried over to you, wrapping you up in her labcoat, since Yuki had been exposed, and the room was still chilly, so the coat gave you a bit of warmth to go along with some modesty, and you wrapped it tight around yourself.

"Okay, that's... better. I think we're getting somewhere."

"Is Yuki okay?" Kazumi asked, cautiously. You looked at Kazumi and Zoe, seeing tinges of jealousy in both of their faces. Kazumi was the one that should be wearing Yuki. Zoe may have wanted to wake up one of her own kind, but she also never expected to see her chosen host wearing another suit. It wasn't your fault, you had ****, but the expression stayed the same.

You heard ten different voices, it seemed, all speaking in unison in your ear. "Who is Yuki?"

"You are Yuki. That's the name Kazumi would like to give you." You again looked at Kazumi, to indicate who you meant. "Zoe is like you, and she was named as such because she was Revision Z of the AEGIS series. With you being Revision Y, Yuki seemed like an appropriate name, if you didn't already have one." You glanced at Zoe next, who waved, as her hand split apart into tendrils similar to Yuki's own, showing her bodysuit nature. You glanced next to Chloe and Amanda, who were intrigued, but they kept quiet.

Silence hung over everyone for a great deal of time, before you felt your body settle on a form. Your porcelain-white skin covered slender legs, and a modest but still shapely set of hips and chest, while your facial features settled into something that would have passed as Kazumi's sister, using her as a reference. Long black hair tumbled down your head in silky strands, tickling at your skin that wasn't covered by the lab coat. "Yuki, Japanese for snow. It's... acceptable. Who are you all?"

"We're just... friends. Friends you don't know you have yet. Zoe's wanted to meet another like her for some time, but it wasn't until recently that we realized we had all the tools to fix your DNA. It's probably going to be a while before the gene therapy really takes hold, so it's imperative that you're still careful with everything you can do while we monitor you. But, we thought it was only fair that if we have the means to bring you back as a healthy being, that we should make the attempt."

Eventually, you began to stand, wrapping tightly in the coat as you glanced at the others. "Think we could maybe get someplace a little warmer to keep talking?"

Zoe nodded, coming close to put a hand on your back, guiding you out of the cryo-storage floor to the elevator. "And Yuki, just so you know, Emily's friend here, Kazumi--she would love to get to know you better. You see, Emily and I have a fairly strong bond, Kazumi was hoping to find a bond with you as well. I know you probably need all the energy you can get from a human and Emily is a good choice, I know, but... consider it."

That was Zoe's firmest attempt she'd probably make at getting you out of Yuki's grip so she could be back around you again instead.

Does Yuki go with the plan, or is she going to stay with you for a bit?
