Dr. Valencia looked at Subject 13, trying to determine if he would be of use in his state, sighing to herself she started to inform him of what happened a little over a month ago. Mentally preparing herself as she remembered the horrors that had transpired. She begins recounting what happened.

"OK, subject 07, are you ready to begin the process?" Dr. Valencia asked the young redheaded woman that was on her operating table.

"Absolutely Ms. Cortez, you did say that this was for the longevity of us, right? So why wouldn't I be ready," giggling to herself as she felt excitement Subject 07 continued, "I just might end up becoming the savior of humanity, how could I not excited?"

Smiling at the young woman, Dr. Valencia injected Subject 07 with a serum that was created with the DNA and RNA of an alien entity that was found on Planet X-1525 that was in optimal range for life in the proximity of the Bernard Star. The serum lacked any color and as it was pushed into the young woman's body, her body started to slightly tremble. As she was already of a pale complexion, so Dr. Valencia did not see any notable changes in that. What she did notice was that Subject 07 eyes went from an bright blue to a deep red, and it seemed as though the young woman's bosom had become fuller, as if the serum was making her body more enticing. Raising an eyebrow, she wrote down what she saw.

"Subject 07, you still there?" Dr. Valencia asked the young woman.

"Oh absolutely, Ms. Cortez, I have never felt better." Replied the young woman in a sultry voice, "Though if possible could I return to my quarters to rest, I do feel slightly tired."

"Of course you can, and I do want to thank you for being willing to have this serum injected into you. Come back once you are well rested so we can run some tests to see what kind of changes happened to your body."

Subject 07 returned to her room with her lover, who only knew that she went to go see Dr. Valencia Cortez about a possible manmade mutation that could help the longevity of the human race. What he did not know was what was happening inside his lovers body, tendrils of meat were moving around like worms slowly growing larger inside her torso, changing her internal physiology. One had already attacked itself to her spin where it connects to the cerebrum, controlling her similar to the cordyceps fungus.

"So Cassandra, how are you feeling after being given the chance to save us all?" he asks laughing as she dragged him to her room.

"I feel great, so much so that I want to celebrate with you!" she exclaimed with exuberance, capturing his lips with hers as her tongue enters his mouth. He wraps his arms around her locking her in an embrace. As this is happen small lumps form on Subject 07s back, she quickly stops the kiss and proceeds to tear off her lovers clothes. She straddles him after pushing in onto her bed, pinning him beneath her. He laughs until he sees four tentacles come from around her back. Shocks sets in followed by fear, as he tries to fight her off, her tentacles rush forward. Two pin his arms and the other two his legs. Eyes wide as he stares at the woman he loved, who seems to be in ecstasy, running her hands down her body seductively and moving her hips in time with his struggle. She moans as another tentacle slides out of her back, this one with a hole in the front, similar to a mouth. It moves in the air before moving in front of Subject 07, slowly moving closer to the man that was now pinned beneath her. He opens his mouth to scream, only to be muffled as the tentacle rushes into his mouth and starts to pulsate, releasing worms into his stomach. His eyes roll into the back of his head as he loses his sanity as he feels thousands of worms moving through his body.

Back in Dr. Valencia's office, she is currently in a conference with the other doctors from the other space stations, relaying what little she knew from todays experiment. Once the information was relayed, she picked up her transmitter and tried to hail Subject 07. After a few minutes with no response, she hailed the young man that was known to be her lover, and still received nothing back. Thinking nothing of it, she gets up to go get something to eat from the canteen. Smiling to herself, she quietly hummed a tune quietly to herself as she walked down the lightly lit walkway. Just as she was about enter the canteen, she felt as if she was being watched and stopped short, after quickly looking around and not noticing anything she sighs and enters the canteen.

Inside the canteen there is light classical music playing as a there were pickets of groups sitting at various tables chatting. She walked up to the chef after picking up a tray, and got her food, while it wasn't anything fancy, it still had all the nourishment that the human body needed. While she slowly ate her food, she listened in on the conversations around her. Most were mundane, only focusing on next shift cycles and who was going to hook up with whom. But one caught her ear, tilting her head slightly she listened intently.

"What do you mean you can't find Roland?"

"Jeff, I told you Cassandra came and got him and left, and while I thought she was pretty before, something must of happened I couldn't take my eyes off of her and even seemed as if I was being pulled in."

"Dude, she isn't a siren or a succubus, besides don't you have a wife in cryo, along with you three daughters?"

"Yea, yea, I know but I'm not dead either."

The man sighed, "Look we need Roland before we can switch with the next group of guards, otherwise one of those bastards gets to sleep in, and we get our ass chewed out."

"I hear you Jeff, but I haven't been able to hail Roland since he left with Cassandra, you know how those two are."

Coming back to herself Dr. Valencia frowned, picked up her tray and dumped the remaining contents into a trash bin before placing the tray with the other dirty dishes. She walks out of the canteen and goes to her quarters, while spacious was nothing special. And since she had to share it with her ex husband it was cramped. Walking through the door she was met with a slap to the face, while hard she was already used to this kind of abuse from the drunken arsehole she was married to.

"So where did you go miss 'I'm-so-important-that-my-husband-doesn't-matter'?" the man who hit Dr. Valencia stated, with the smell of alcohol coming from his breath. "Did you find that boy-toy you were bragging about?" Laughing he moves to hit her again only to have her hit him with a sedative that ended up knocking him out.

Sighing to herself, she closed the door and walked over the body that was on floor. She moved to get some ice from the freezer that was in the wall and held it to her check, Today just can't get any worse.
