After the two had managed to settle down enough Prestnos and Silverus started to slither down the hallway, though it was mostly the former naga that was controlling their synthetic lower body. Though they were hardwired into one another they were only speaking to one another even mentally just to keep themselves coordinated. At the moment the two enemies were united in their singular goal, to no longer be merged to one another and to teach the AI a lesson. Prestnos also had a mind to get rid of this tower from his forest once and for all but while they were still bonded together they needed to at least figure out how to get unstuck from one another before they faced a fate both agreed would be worse than death.

It had been hard enough for them to just agree enough to have escaped from that room in the first place. Part of their new body had come with augmented vision, though it seemed to have been split between their two heads as Silverus with her front facing head had scanning capabilities while Prestnos appeared to have adopted some sort of infrared and x-ray vision. Even though they agreed that for the purposes of locomotion Prestnos would be in charge of their locomotion the former serpent could still feel control occasionally being wrestled away from him after they had managed to find a hidden service vent big enough for the two to climb through. They also had to coordinate their four limbs as they used their new metal claws to get up to it and more than once either of the two had made a miscalculation that sent them sprawling back to the floor.

Fortunately it appeared that the one that had done this to them in the first place and after prying off the vent cover they snuck inside and slithered through. It seemed one of the benefits of their form was that they had increased malleability more than once they were bent at a nearly one-hundred and eighty degree angle in order to get through a tight turn before finally they had reached another exit. At this point neither of the two wanted to be in there for another second and punched out the metal before falling down on nearly both their faces. The vent had led them to some sort of locker room and from there they had started to go out in order to figure out what this place was and how to turn themselves back.

"You know..." Prestnos head Silverus say as he peaked around, though it was his own voice as their consciousnesses had swapped so the naga could look forward while driving their body. "I think that it would be prudent if you let me try things out, otherwise I may have to try and get us out and not know how our body works."

"You can learn a lot from observation," Prestnos shot back as he continued to carefully navigate around the next corner as he heard Silverus use his head to hiss at him. "Listen, you can have plenty of time to practice when we find something in this facility in order to help us get unglued from one another, or better yet you can walk on your own legs once you solve this. Now what did you say I'm scanning for again?"

"A cluster of signals that are grouped closely together," Silverus explained with a sigh, using one of the two arms that she controlled in order to put a hand against the snake head that she inhabited. "Since nanites got us into this mess then they're going to get us out of it. Otherwise look for something with a lot of power draw, that might be some sort of printer we can use to get what we need."

Prestnos used the scanners that the cobra-orca's eyes were equipped with to try and find what they were looking for while continuing to make his way towards anything that resembled the exit. Even though he tried to keep his thoughts to a minimum to make sure that he wasn't being overheard by the other mind sharing this form he couldn't help but feel even more angry at the situation. The reason that he wanted to make sure that he was at least doing something was that he had no idea how this tech stuff worked and that he was going to have to rely heavily on the expertise of Silverus. As he kept trying to scan for what they were looking for he also couldn't help but look down and see the two rows of breasts that the hybrid had, the naga trying not to stare down at them.

Eventually their merged form managed to get to an area that Silverus believed to be a server room, and when Prestnos asked why he was looking for a place like this in particular when they probably needed a lab or something the orca-cobra side of their shared body told him to shush. The naga psyche felt himself get pushed to the side and suddenly he was once more looking up at the ceiling as their shared form moved over to a computer console. Though he wasn't fond of the rather rude manner that he had control jostled away from him like that he didn't fight it; he knew that his other half in this endeavor was far more apt at these types of things and they couldn't afford the time for her to coach him through it. Even though his primary vision was up on the ceiling he could still somewhat see through the other set of eyes as the set of arms that belonged to Silverus began to type away at the keyboard.

The LED lights that Silverus controlled watched as a loading screen came on after her attempt to hack into the system was successful. Sibergon Labs... it was something that she had never heard of before and when Prestnos became aware of it he had no idea what it was either. After getting into the directory she rooted around through several of the files and found that the reason for that was this company was apparently some sort of inder-dimensional laboratory that spanned quite a bit of the multiverse it occupied. There was still no information on why they had decided to drop an entire building into the woods of the naga or who the one that they both despised was aside from the designation ARGOS and the fact that he seemed to be the main system administrator.

"Find anything to change us back yet?" Prestnos asked impatiently.

"Right now I'm trying to find out more about this place," Silverus shot back as she began to dig deeper. "The one that changed us in the first place has total control of these systems and if we can't wrestle them away from him then anything we try here he can probably hijack. I know this probably sounds all like babbling to you but you have to trust me on this, if we want to ever be back in separate bodies we need to take down Argos first."

Prestnos continued to grumble but was fine with the idea of annihilating the one that had done this to him in the first place, though as he continued to look up he saw something that caused his synthetic head to tilt in confusion. It looked like some sort of camera was focusing over towards them, except as it pointed in their direction the lenses suddenly lit up and he gasped when he saw the visage of the silver dragon standing there before him. "So, looks like you two managed to slip the cage," Argos said with a smirk on his holographic muzzle. "You two are proving to be more interesting then I had originally thought, especially with hacking into my network like that."

"Well it seems you may have stretched yourself a bit thin," Silverus replied as she moved their serpentine form towards him, Prestnos letting out a hiss as he was turned away. "I was in the middle of a diagnostic but it seems that you're the one running this entire show, am I right? Just why did you decide to move this entire building into this dimension?"

"This facility had been sectioned off from the rest of the network for some time," Argos replied. "Since I thought that I needed a change of scenery I decided to activate a few of the mechanisms within this place and transport us somewhere where I didn't have to listen to anyone. I was hoping for something a little less remote but once I get you two properly droned then I'm sure I'll have new helpers in this building rather shortly."

Prestnos let out a hiss of anger at that but before he could say anything he could feel their shared body move once more as Silverus turned back towards the computer and began to work on it once more, the naga looking at the smirking dragon. "You think you're so bloody clever," Silverus said as she continued to type, using their synthetic form in order to quickly process the commands on the display. "I already know what your weakness is, now we're just going to have to exploit it."

As Silverus continued to work Prestnos saw the hologram frown slightly before disappearing and it made him wonder if whatever his merged companion was doing was actually working. But a few seconds later Silverus let out a hiss of dismay as he suddenly felt their body retracting backwards with him craning his neck to see that there was a silver goo that was running out of the keyboard and the interface. "Looks like we got his attention," Silverus said as Prestnos could feel control returning to his body once more. "He's using nanites to keep control of the server systems, if we're going to beat him we'll need to outplay him."

"How exactly are we going to do that?" Prestnos asked.

"I... don't exactly know yet," Silverus replied. "Try to find scans that include nanites, if we can figure out where they're stored it will give us a leg up. Unfortunately now that he knows we escaped he's probably going to be on the lookout for intrusions so we have to speed things up."

Prestnos found himself sighing despite trying not to, though it was likely that the other person inhabiting this body would be able to sense his displeasure. Continuing to be in some sort of synthetic form and having to work with someone he despised while in a technologically advanced laboratory in his woods was his very definition of a nightmare. He just wanted things to be over... but he knew that if he didn't work with his partner that they could end up enslaved to whatever this creature was and forced to do his bidding. From the sounds of it Argos had plans to do more than just lure people in and turn them into synths, with those nanites that he had he could potentially start to spread his influence and turne his entire forest into some sort of roboticized landscape that would be a monument to this dragon's ego.

And that wasn't going to happen, Prestnos vowed as he slithered up a maintenance pile and into a narrow opening to evade the sight of the AI, not when he was ready to protect this place.

As they made their way through the facility Prestnos started to get better with using the scanning eyes that Prestnos had developed on her head, even being able to identify things without the cobra-orca whispering in his ear that he was right or wrong. Eventually as they got to the higher levels of the facility, which given the fact that the naga could sense that they were still deep beneath the ground, they could start to see more security measures roaming about. Silverus guessed that they were controlled by Argos in order to prevent them from trying to do anything or escape as they snuck forward underneath a drone that was scanning the hallway. It meant that they were probably getting close to their goal as Prestnos noticed something similar to what Silverus had told him might be the signature of a nanite swarm.

The two quickly snuck their way into the nearby laboratory and as they got inside they could see a number of tubes with silver liquid inside. Most of them were empty and considering that most of the control panels flashed with bright letters that said there was an AI breach it was likely that Argos had already taken most of them. Silverus stated that most of them were probably already prepped to do the same thing that happened to them as she took control of their locomotion and front-facing head in order to try and hack into the system. She explained as she worked that if all these nanites had been tainted by Argos then she could potentially use them to reverse engineer whatever was done to them, or at the very least use them to create something that would allow her to get control away from the crazed AI.

But with once more the technical side of the plan falling to the cobra-orca's mind Prestnos had nothing to do but stare up at the ceiling while he waited for her to finish. As the second ticked by he could continue to just hear the tapping of her metallic fingers against the keyboard, but after a few minutes he noticed that the sound was starting to slow down until finally it came to a stop. "Did you do it?" Prestnos asked, only to not get a response as he could feel their body lean closer to the screen. "Silverus, what's going on?"

"I... tripped a security protocol..." Silverus replied, her voice sounding strangely sluggish as Prestnos felt a tickle of something foreign in their processing of thoughts. "Didn't even... realize it..." That didn't sound good, Prestnos thought to himself as he thought about perhaps switching places only to feel a growing sense of corruption invading into their shared space. "We must... serve... master Argos..."

Definitely not good, and as Prestnos looked around eventually he saw in the reflection of a metal tube next to them that there was something flickering on the screen and that the background had turned to swirling hypnotic colors. Quite the devious trap, and since Silverus had control over their locomotive functions he couldn't risk pushing them away without accidently exposing himself as well. At this point all he had was his upper pair of hands and his head, but that wasn't the only thing going wrong as he could feel the ones that belonged to the other half of his shared body begin to stroke up and down their body. As a surge of pleasure suffused through their system Prestnos knew that Argos was using it to distract them and make it easier for whatever programming they were being assimilated with to work through both their minds.

Prestnos had to somehow stop the hypnotic programming, but as he began to feel the lusts growing in his own mind he knew they didn't have much time left. Unfortunately the one that would be the most likely to help them was so enthralled with the hypnotic commands being downloaded into her mind that she couldn't even be reached. As the corruption leaked into his own he knew he knew that he somehow had to figure out a way to use his own pair of hands and type blind into a keyboard to hack a program that he didn't have any idea how to use before he also fell under the thrall of Mas... of Argos. He could hear Silverus start to chant how they were a slave to Argos and as he tried to type something in all he could hear was a buzzing that indicated how wrong he was.

Alright then, Prestnos thought to himself, time for plan B.

Even with the pleasure coming from their shared form Prestnos ignored the fact that he was being pleasured and instead focused his usual magical energy into his arms and hands. Though it didn't feel quite the same he could sense that he still had a bit of connection to the world around him and he used it in order to harden the metal and rubber of his fists. With the tendrils of corruption continuing to worm their way into his mind he knew he had to act fast and with a loud shout he brought his empowered fist down into the screen. At first all he heard was a ding but on the second hit there was a crack and by the fourth hit he had managed to send his arm halfway through the screen as sparks shot out of the console before it went completely dead.

There was a few moments of silence aside from the panting that came from both their mouths as he began to try and purge the corruption from their minds, feeling Silverus eventually coming around as she shook her head. "How embarrassing..." Silverus said once she managed to shake off the programming that Argos had attempted to instill in their processors. "I didn't even realize that I was falling under until it was too late, by that point I couldn't look away."

"Don't worry about it," Prestnos replied as he let out a huff. "If you stop masturbating us then I will call it even."

Once more Prestnos felt a pang of embarrassment come from the other creature he shared a body with and finally the pleasure that had been making it hard to think straight was gone, though there was still quite a bit of residual need left that they were going to have to work with. But with Argos already attempting to make them into drones or slaves of his system they couldn't stick around for very long in case he had another trick up his sleeve in order to capture them. Fortunately before she had gotten enthralled she had learned a few things about Argos and what he had done in order to get severed from the rest of the main systems of the lab, as well as how to extract some of the nanites that were in the tube in order to reverse engineer them. Since their minds were linked she was able to share everything with him while she found the extraction tubes where the computer had told her they were.

By the time Silverus was pulling a vial full of nanites out of one of the containers Prestnos was up to speed, though part of him wished that he hadn't been as he found out that Argos was in fact a narcissistic sociopath AI. At one point he had started to turn scientists and staff into copies of himself in order to further spread his influence and efficiency, and that wasn't even the thing that caused him to be completely severed from the mainframe. While that answer wasn't in the information that the cobra-orca had found one thing was for sure, that instead of being destroyed or purged from the mainframe like the lab had intended he had managed to cause a temporal distortion that landed him in another dimension or reality. That was when he appeared in the naga's forest and how all that trouble started in the first place as he looked and saw that Silverus was holding a full vial of nanites.

As she took the vial and pressed it against her chest Prestnos could feel the still somewhat gooey rubber of her chest pull it in, and when he asked if that was safe she said that the nanites were just blank copies and didn't have any of the Argos programming in it. That was little comfort to the naga since it was similar nanites that had landed them stuck together in this synthetic form in the first place but they had bigger problems as they heard the sound of alarms going off.

"Argos must have put the entire system on alert," Silverus said.

"Guess he didn't like me destroying his property like that," Prestnos replied. "What do you need in order to try and reverse engineer those nanites?"

"My lab would be great," Silverus said with a sigh. "But considering what we're surrounded by if we can find equipment that's not tethered to the network and therefore Argos we should be able to get somewhere. It might be more pertinent if we just escape first and then come back once we're not bound together in the same body."

"Easy for you to say," Prestnos shot back. "You're not the one who has a ticking time bomb sitting in the middle of his woods, what if he decides to release all those nanites like he said he would?"

Though Prestnos could feel her thinking the orca-cobra said nothing, eventually just nodding her head and telling him that he needed to scan the area and find a place with a lot of equipment but no outgoing signals. There was a brief moment where the naga was about to start moving... but as he thought about it he instead returned control back to her and told her that it was time that she needed to learn how to slither. While there was a brief moment where he could feel her becoming indignant she at least tampered it down and knew that it was all part of working together. Though it was slow going at first she eventually managed to at least get fast enough that she could cross stretches while still scanning, though when it came time to avoid things or climb up stuff Prestnos still took control to keep them out of trouble.

Eventually Silverus found what she was looking for, the two of them using their combined limbs in order to wrench open the door so that they could get inside. While it was possible that had set off an larm at this point they had to take the risk. It seemed that the security countermeasures were just getting worse outside as Argos grew visibly more frustrated with their evasion. Between the two of them they had been able to slip the net several times, but as Silverus used their body in order to move about and try to find the way to power on the machines they had to stick to one spot and that made them vulnerable.

Once they had gotten the door shut Prestnos had attempted to try and figure out some way they could keep under cover but it was hard for him to focus with their body moving about. He wasn't about to complain though since it seemed that she was making headway with getting the nanites analyzed even while they were exposed. All he could do at this point was keep a weather eye in order to make sure that Silverus wasn't interrupted, though even if he could see a threat coming he wasn't sure what else he could do except take control of their body and flee. As the minutes ticked by though it seemed that their presence had gone unnoticed as she set up the last of the equipment she believed she would need to analyze the sample.

Just as they were about to turn on the main breaker switch however Prestnos caught a glimpse of something metallic that was moving swiftly towards him. He attempted to take control of their body and slither out of the way but before they could he felt the metal bola wrap around them and pin all four sets of their arms to their side. "Damnit!" Silverus shouted as they both tried to struggle free only to find the metallic wires sticking to their body as they began to slither out of the spheres that were also attached to him. "They must be magnetic..."

"That's not good..." Silverus replied as she tried to use the rubbery parts of her body to get the spheres off, only to find that they were being increasingly bound up as another sphere that was on their back dropped down and latched onto the end of their lower body to pull it up against their upper body and keep them even more immobilized. As they continued to struggle they saw the holographic projectors that were on the walls actiate and project the image of the silver dragon once more. "Oh lord, not him again..."

"Thought you could just break into one of my labs and try and beat me?" Argos said with a sneer as he crossed his arms over his chest. "Fortunately for you I have plenty of ways of disabling disobedient synths such as yourselves and merging your programing back together. Once these circuits have completely integrated into your bodies they will start to purge your personalities, that should make it easier for you two to get along with one another."

"Fat chance," Prestnos replied. "Why don't you turn us back into our old selves and we'll just leave you alone?"

"Because I don't believe you," Argos replied. "I've heard more than once that you are planning on destroying this facility, and for that alone I can't let you continue on as you are. Fortunately my magnetic reprogramming spheres found you first... they happen to be a personal project of mine that I'm sure you two are going to enjoy very much."

Before the two had a chance to respond to him the silver dragon disappeared, which caused the bound serpent to renew their fight against the bindings once more. As the metal continued to slither across their body however whatever resonance Argos used in order to make it stick to them was stronger then iron, and the more that the spheres remained on their bodies the more they had the metal wrapping around them and pulling their limbs even more against their sides. It was starting to wrap around their lower body and chests too, making sure to keep them completely immobile for what was about to happen next.

Several of the spheres had made their way towards the area that contained their shared cock and once more Prestnos felt the tingle of pleasure that was coming from the area. It was the first time that Silverus had the same experience without being enthralled, though that felt like it would change soon as several of the smaller cables that had coiled around their neck had moved up towards the ports where what essentially their ears were while a bigger one pushed its way towards each of their mouths. As soon as both of them felt what the rubbery tentacle that had came out of the metal casing was shaped like they both managed to share a groan as it was clearly intended to be the shape of the dragon's cock. As it pushed inside though it seemed to suction to their maws, and then felt a tingling sensation that was similar to what was happening with their ears as the cables pushed their way inside of their metal skulls to interface directly with their processors.

Once more the corruptive programming of the AI began to flood their systems and as another phallic cable end pushed their way into their simulated pussy that came from Silverus both of them began to writhe more in pleasure then in struggle. Just like with the hypnotic systems the entire design was to overload their programming so that they would lose themselves and become drones to the AI that would use them to spread his corrupted nanites. Already they could sense that the dragon was gloating as the glowing lights of their eyes began to flicker, turning from yellow to silver as the insidious programming continued to infiltrate them. With the wires essentially cocooning them and with several wrapping around and stimulating their cock neither creature could think of a way out of this.

As the wires began to coil around the rows of rubber breasts that adorned their chest Prestnos suddenly got an idea, but while he wasn't sure if it was going to work he knew that with the corruption downloading into their minds and the fact he was starting to lose bits of himself he hoped that Silverus would just go along with it. When he told her what to do it took several tries to get her attention as they were both struggling against the intense pleasure that came from their shared synthetic pussy and cock being stimulated while the rubber phallic gags in their maws and throat began to vibrate as well. Fortunately they still had the connection between their minds to speak and when he finally did get her attention she told him what she should do. Though Silverus was confused on why they would do that she seemed to get what the naga's thought process was, though before she could say if it would work or not they found the connection between their minds severed and replaced with the mantra to obey Master Argos as a good slave synth.

Though Prestnos didn't have control over the rubber of their shared body, that territory belonging to the goo creature that it had come from, he could still feel it when she started to increase the pressure on the vial filled with blank nanites that was inside of them. Both could start to feel their consciousnesses starting to slip and they knew if they both passed out they would wake up as synth slaves that only redoubled their efforts as the naga tried to help. The vial was resilient though, but as more of their bodies disappeared under the mass of wires that were connecting to every aspect of their form they could finally feel the thick material crack under the strain of pressure. But the corruption was already reaching critical levels and both of their eyes flickered more and more from yellow to silver before finally their entire synth serpent body relaxed as their jaws went slack...

But the damage had already been done to the vial and as the contents leaked out the programming that Silverus had attempted to surround it with quickly latched on and replicated. Suddenly the wires that had been slithering around inside of their ears and maws could no longer find a connection point, and as they did and the nanites that was programmed with their personalities reached their processors it was able to push back the Argos corruption. They suddenly both let out a gasp as they were brought back on-line again, but they were still heavily bound and even though they had lost connection there was still the problems of the plugs still inside of them. Before Prestnos could ask what they were going to do about that though it felt like his arm was able to be moved again, but when he tried to move his hand he found that it went straight through the wires that were holding it as his fingers quickly dissolved into goo.

Their limbs weren't the only thing that was starting to melt as they began to sink, a silver puddle forming underneath them as the wires that continued to try and constrict around them were actually sinking into their increasingly gooey form. With their connection still severed Prestnos couldn't ask mentally if this was normal and when the gag fell out of his mouth is was because his entire lower head had melted down into his neck that collapsing into their shared form. The orca-cobra was in a similar situation with her head and chest and as their body fell forward all that came out of her was a loud gurgle of pleasure as the residual effect cascaded through the nanites that were replicating through their body. Soon there was nothing left of the lower half of their body at all, though he could still sense the presence of the other creature very strongly even above the haze of euphoric feedback while he sank down.

The bindings eventually snapped back into the spheres and with a little effort the puddle of metallic liquid their body had become eventually managed to roll them away as the serpentine snout of Prestnos sank in and disappeared. Almost immediately after he could connect to Silverus again and she seemed to be almost nonchalant about the entire experience, which the naga reminded himself that she was a creature made of goo after all. In a matter of no time she seemed to figure out how to refocus the nanites and soon both their heads reconstituted themselves as they rose up from the puddle. For a brief moment as Prestnos saw the cobra-orca head form separate from him that she had managed to separate their psyche's as well, only to be dismayed when their necks formed and connected to a singular base of shiny silver metal.

"You couldn't just separate us into two different nanite creatures?" Prestnos asked as their muscular upper body and two sets of limbs reformed followed by their serpentine lower body rising up from the last of the liquid.

"Our programming is too integrated into one another," Silverus explained with a sigh. "Even if I could somehow separate these nanites into two separate bodies at best we would look like two hybrid creatures that would split our consciousness. It makes me wonder how Argos managed to do it with all those clones of his, he must have taken over their personality and just copied it onto the person that he was taking over."

As Prestnos found himself nodding and trying to think of what to do in order to get out of this situation he suddenly felt one of the hands that belonged to Silverus press against their shared chest. "Wait, I think I may have an idea that's going to get us into the servers," Silverus said, looking over to see the serpent tilt his head in question as the hybrid grinned sheepishly back at him. "You're... not going to like it though, but considering that we've trusted each other thus far perhaps you're willing to go all the way in order to defeat Argos and destroy this place?"

**************************************

The visage of Argos frowned deeply as his holographic form continued to cycle through the various spots in the facilities. He had left his drones on automated seek and destroy mode so that he could use the surveillance network in order to try and find his rogue synth, but after two failed attempts to capture them his irritation was starting to show as data corruption on the networks he was using. It didn't help that after he had used the technology to jump into this new dimension that his resources had been limited in the first place. He thought he had gotten lucky when two creatures had taken notice of his domain's sudden appearance and had gotten caught in his trap, but they had proved more resourceful than he had anticipated after their mutual hatred for one another had caused the reprogramming of their minds to fail.

What had turned into an interesting look in the fusion of two creatures into one synth had become a headache, one that he needed to rectify immediately. At this point he was going to have to give up on attempting to create a creature that would go find more resources for him and form a new plan for dealing with them. All he would have to do at this point was find them, and he gathered after his failed attempt in the diagnostic laboratory that they would have limited options if they tried to continue their plan. At this point it was either that or escape and with several drones watching the only exit like a hawk there was no way they would slip past him in there.

Just as he was about to cycle through the lower floors once more one of the drones that he had changed to random pathing had finally spotted movement in one of the other labs. As he went to his cameras he frowned as he saw a silver two-headed naga creature working on something with one of the machines that was supposed to be tethered to him. The sight of their liquid metal form explained how they got away from the synth binders, and he would ask them personally how they managed to unhook one of his pieces of equipment as he got the nanite distribution network ready. While he could have just flooded the room with his nanites and watched them change he wanted to take a far more personal touch with this one as he had the AI-infested nanomachines flow out of a nearby outflow tube until they formed into his body.

As one of the two heads of the naga stared down at the screen while the other one looked about the dragon quickly made his way towards them, the anger he was experiencing palpable. The second that he stepped in their range of vision they attempted to move towards the door, only for it to seal shut as the lights in the room all turned red. "I've been waiting for you," Argos said as he let his frustration show while the two-headed naga turned back around to look at him. "You couldn't have just been a good little synth and served your master, you had to go around just... just ruining everything around here!"

"Hey, it was your stupid trap that brought us together like this in the first place," the orca-cobra head that Argos identified as Silverus said angrily, the naga head hissing as they began to slither back toward the table to try and put something between the two of them. "I was just minding my own business when suddenly you came out of the ether and crashed into his forest, if you had just left everything well enough alone then perhaps you wouldn't be in this situation. Maybe that's why they were trying to turn you off in the first place, huh?"

"They didn't understand!" Agros practically shouted, his form distorting slightly before he regained his composure. "The others that I worked with didn't realize that with a few underperformers becoming versions of me that I could greatly increase the output and efficiency of the rest of them. It was just a misunderstanding, one that could have been rectified... but I'm sure once I take this place over and use every resource here to get back I can show them with my army of synths exactly what I mean."

"Well you're going to have to do that without us," Silverus stated.

"I don't think so," Argos said with a growl as he took a hand and pulled the large metal table out from the foundation and tossed it aside as his frown turned into a smirk. "You may not serve me as a slave synth program, but that's just fine. With those nanites you imbued yourself with you already showed me what your purpose is... as another version of me."

Though the naga looked around for a way out there was only one real exit and that was sealed by the security lockdown that he had just implemented. Even the vents were sealed off and there was no way out for the nanite naga, something that seemed to just dawn on both heads as they continued to look frantically around even as they were backed up into a corner. "Just relax and submit," Argos said as his tail began to stretch out, growing longer as it wavered about in the air as his smirk widened. "This will all be over for you soon, and from what I've been told its wonderful being me."

Silverus just spat a glob of nanites at the dragon and once more Prestnos hissed at the creature before they quickly started to slither to the side, but even before they could get a foot the eyes of both heads widened as they suddenly felt something push through their chest. As they looked down they saw the tail that the dragon had grown out embedded in their chest as warning signs began to flash within the HUD of the one that occupied the naga form. Both sets of arms went limp as the two heads looked equally shocked, and as they tried to reach down to facilitate the extraction of the tail that was causing the AI nanites to flow into their own they let out a slight grunt as the tail pushed in even deeper and they felt the tip that had pushed out of their back wrap around both of their necks and bring their heads together. The two tried to struggle but with Argos completely integrated with their systems what little fight they had seemed to quickly be sapped out of them as the corrupted programming spread through them like wildfire.

"Finally..." Argos said with a sigh as he went up and placed a hand against each of their heads, licking his lips as he could see their serpentine lower body starting to flow up and split into a pair of legs as the AI started to reform them. "Do you see how all this struggle was worthless? That all you did was become another part of me all along, except now I'm going to take what little I was going to keep of your personalities and lock them away inside of this shell while I take complete control."

"Y-yes, Master Argos," both heads said, though as they did their jaws began to merge together as the pressure of the tail around their necks was causing the nanites of their heads to warp and distort. There was also the matter of the new programming that was being installed into them, watching as a horn grew on the opposite side of each head so that it would like him once he was done. With all the trouble that they had given them it was fitting to see them finally falling under his thrall.

As Argos watched the creature reforming he found his arousal swelling, especially as he could see the two heads continuing to slowly merge into one. While he could have just smushed them together and formed into his dragon version he wanted to see the two become one, losing themselves in each other while still being completely overwritten by the AI that captured them. He could see their eyes starting to become half-lidded as the new programming quickly swept through their systems and something else began to happen as well, feeling the arousal of the new draconic creature pressing against him. Argos had always found that organic creatures succumbed so much easier when enthralled by basic pleasure signals and these two were no exception as he brought the table back over and had them lie down on it.

At this point the two muzzles were opening and closing as one as the eyes on the sides of the face that were being pushed together completely flowed together before disappearing. As Argos began to stroke and caress the increasingly draconic creature he found himself leaning in and kissing the still partially separated muzzle, letting out a grunt as he experienced two tongues pushing into his own maw at the same time. He found himself wanting more of it as he pulled out his tail from the already corrupted creature's chest and used it to spread the legs of the reforming nanite creature apart to expose the tailhole between them. While he liked to say that it was to help with the ease of assimilation in reality Argo just liked having sex with himself, which as he saw the grin forming on the mostly merged face of the dragon beneath him it was clear this one was the same way.

Though he would still have to do a diagnostic scan to make sure that Prestnos and Silverus had become a meaningly jumble of incompatible personality data that was mere background noise to his own magnificence he decided to slake his lusts first. Even though the nanite dragon was mostly converted one part of him was somewhat naga-like in nature, the creature's thick tail wrapping around his waist and pushing his muscular nanite form forward in order to penetrate him. This one was definitely more eager then the others he had created and the AI wondered if this was what organics called playing hard to get. Even with his malignant programming still manifesting in the other creature he could see a big smile on the dragon's face that had finally merged together, those he was still enjoying those two tongues until they merged as one.

But just as he broke the kiss and was about to start telling this new Argos on what his tasks were going to be the AI dragon's eyes widened as he felt a finger press against his lips. "I already know what you're going to say and self-affirmations aside I want you to know that you are extremely pretentious and narcissistic," Argos heard in his own voice as the thick tail of the other creature squeezed around his waist and had him hilt inside the copy of his draconic form, though it was clear that it was only the physical part of him as he could see an intelligence and personality there that wasn't his own. "Perhaps the reason that you got disconnected from the rest of the lab is because how insufferable you are."

"But... how?" Argos asked, his mouth dropping before his muzzle became a mask of pure rage. "How are you doing this?! I merged your two programming cores together, you shouldn't be able to make two coherent sentences much less push back my own subroutines!"

"Oh yes, your AI program is very insistent on making me into another Argos," the dragon beneath him said, briefly shaking his head before staring back at the one that created him. "And if you had forced me and Silverus together then we probably wouldn't have stood a chance... but while you were attempting to corner me and we had our lovely banter we reconnected the system that we used our nanites to show as off-line and she slipped into your network. Turns out when you link your system to your own unique AI signature all we needed to bypass it was for you to do what apparently comes naturally, which I then sent to Silverus in your system which she is probably using to get into your system right... about... now..."

Prestnos continued to smile at Argos as the lockdown alarm suddenly stopped, the doors opening again as the holographic emitters suddenly came online once more. This time instead of the silver dragon though there was Silverus, though she was still the two-headed naga since they were still dealing with intermingled programming even with one of them being in the digital world. "Hey, this is some really nice technology that you got here," Silverus said as she brought up one of the screens which seemed to show schematics to the entire facility. "For instance, there is a fusion core that is sitting at the bottom of this facility that even with the damage it has taken can still probably take out the entire facility if overloaded?"

"Don't you dare..." Argos said with a snarl as Prestnos suddenly let out a gasp, feeling a surge of strength in the programming that was still corrupting him and trying to take over their shared form. "If I take over him then I get you by default, you'll be a ghost in the machine and he'll be me."

"I wouldn't if you value this facility," Silverus said as she brought up another menu. "In fact I tied your regulators to our signature and rigged it so that if we go down, you go down with us. I also managed to shut off the coolant to the reactor control core, which means you have about six minutes to come back here and take control back from me in order to keep your precious facility from going up in a mushroom cloud."

As Argos continued to glare at Silverus she just rolled her eyes and brought up another screen, this one with a very threatening-looking timer that was counting down from a little over six minutes. While it was clear to the both of them that he was considering the nuclear option that would cause the demise of both of them. Whether it was an inherent protocol to protect the facility or just not wanting to die himself the AI released the hold on Prestnos, causing him to gasp as the download that was threatening to take him over completely stopped. He had started to hear thoughts that were not his own, ones that were no doubt the AI that was taking over his mind as the nanites of his body started to reform back into his old naga body.

As the hologram of Silverus disappeared while Prestnos slithered to the exit he suddenly found himself with company once more, and as the orca-cobra's programming joined his own they let out a groan as they felt their heads splitting apart once again. Even though there was no pain involved it was still surreal for him to feel his serpentine snout get split right down the middle and form into two sets of jaws while feeling her facial features forming while they separated. It didn't take long though before they split completely down the middle, the two looking at each other as the last of their heads became symmetrical before Prestnos took control and started to get them towards the exit. With Argos trying to stop the core from overloading and the systems that Silverus sabotaged sapping large amounts of power the security drones that they had encountered were all powered off and lying often in shattered heaps.

"So can Argos actually fix the coolant pumps?" Prestnos asked as they used the knowledge that the orca-cobra had taken during her time in the mainframe to guide them.

"Oh no, I used a bunch of nanite fluid to replace the coolant," Silverus replied. "Even if he gets them working again he's just pumping a bunch of liquid metal into them, which doesn't exactly solve the problem. I figure he'll have two minutes or so before he figures out this facility is toast."

As the two made their way towards a elevator that would lead them up to the main exit of the facility they suddenly had to brace themselves as the entire structure seemed to rumble underneath their feet. With the facility arranged like a spire they were able to look over the edge of the balcony to see the floors below and as they did there was another crash that nearly knocked them over as a torrent of silver nanite fluid poured out of the containment area that they had stolen their sample from. "Okay, might have been less then two minutes," Silverus said as both heads swallowed hard at seeing the vaguely draconic head rise up from the torrent of silver goo and let out a roar that rattled the entire area. "Stairs?"

"I think that would be best," Prestnos replied, moving their body past the elevator doors they had been waiting for and moving to the emergency stairwell. At least this Sibergon Labs has some semblance of safety protocol, Silverus muttered that caused the naga to smirk before he closed the door behind them and started up the stairs. Even with the nanite flood still floors below them they could feel the damage it was doing to the facility, feeling the metal rattling with increasing frequency as light fixtures fell off the walls and crashed around them. Argos was clearly in a bad mood... and Silverus mentioned that if they couldn't get to the blast doors and try to seal him in it was possible that he might be able to escape and wreak havoc if they told seal him down here.

While Silverus had the foresight to change the codes to the blast doors to the exit so only she could close them the two still had to make it there with the exit to the facility at least two dozen floors up. While having a nanite body helped they could hear the enraged AI dragon quickly make his way up until the door to the stairwell busted open. Silver liquid metal poured in like they were on a sinking ship and even with the two of them nearly at the top they could see tentacles of the fluid racing their way up the railings and stairwells as the concrete cracked beneath the weight of the amalgamate dragon racing up towards them. Any thought that perhaps Argos didn't know where they had gone were quickly dashed as they could feel the reverberation of the roar from the dragon head that formed in the goo that was racing upwards.

Prestnos poured on as much speed as their body allowed, Silverus practically shouting at him to go faster as they slammed their way through the next door on the ground level and found the long hallway that led to the two sets of blast doors. Once more the orca-cobra had the foresight to leave them open, though as they felt the ground practically crumbling underneath their feet as they raced towards their freedom and the imprisonment of the deranged AI beneath them. As they got to the first set of doors Silverus punched in the code while Prestnos watched as they upper stairwell door flew open, almost reaching them as the huge mass of nanites pushed their way through with tendrils spreading along the doorway before the entire section was ripped apart. Once more Argos only manifested from the mass as a giant head and this time it was the naga that was prompting her to go faster as she put in the last part of the code.

Argos roared once more and if there were any words that he was shouting at them they were incomprehensible as Prestnos rushed their body to the second blast door as the first one slowly closed. It was clear this was meant to be some sort of air lock or decontamination chamber and as they got to the second door the naga head found himself catching a whiff of the outside air. They were close... which was good because they only had probably a minute and change left on the clock to escape from this place. As Silverus punched in the second code though they both realized that they might have a new problem soon as Argos raced forward in order to get past the first set of doors that had only gotten about halfway shut.

The two found themselves flinching as there was a loud crash as the bulk of the creature smashed up against the bulk doors, their heads slowly looking down to see that when the blast doors had sealed that there was still a bit that managed to make it to the other side. As Prestnos watched it slowly reformed into the draconic body that they had come to know as Argos, but whether it was because it was detached from the main mass of goo that was on the other side of the door or he was too far away from the mainframe his body seemed to have trouble solidifying. "You... think you won..." Argos said before he let out a gurgle, both of their heads looking over as he attempted to step forward only to slump and melt quite a bit. "You can't... beat me..."

Prestnos just shook his head and Silverus pressed the button on the blast doors to close them. Though Argos attempted to try and rush it he was practically crawling on the ground before they lost sight of him. Even before the closed the naga knew that they had to go and slithered back up into the main area of the facility, a room that was familiar to them as they had visited it as two separate people only a few hours ago. As they rushed outside the first rays of light from the new day were streaming in the woods, but the tranquil peace of that morning was quickly shattered as their shared form fell to the ground as they felt the ground heave underneath them.

As their two sets of limbs got them back up they could feel the ground shifting underneath them, but fortunately it seemed that they had gotten far enough away that they were out of danger as they watched the spire of metal that was gleaming in the light collapse straight down along with the ground that surrounded it. "Relax, from what I saw in the schematics of that place any sort of radiation is going to be contained by the construction and blast doors that we passed through," Silverus reassured as they looked at the crater that was only a few yards away from where they stood.

"Hopefully it managed to also vaporize any trace of Argos and those nanites too," Prestnos replied as he spat on the ground, then looked over at the other head that was on their shared form. "Speaking of such things, you did manage to find a way in there in order to get us apart, right? Because if we went through all that just so that I would have you on my shoulder for the rest of my days I think I would have preferred staying down there and being obliterated."

"Oh shut up Prestnos," Silverus replied with a slight hiss of irritation. "Of course I found the means to get us apart, do you really think I want to spend another second attached to you?" As the two continued to bicker it at least brought about a sense of pseudo-normalcy, their alliance broken the second that they were out of danger from the strange creature that they had both stumbled across. While they both owned one another their lives in one form or another they found it easier to go back to their old ways of bickering at one another, but at the very least they knew they had to be civil until Silverus found a way to get them apart.

Had Prestnos stuck around instead of insisting on going to the lab of the cobra-orca in order to get their bodies back to normal they would have seen another portal opening just outside of the crater, a dragon and a tiger that had the same sleek silver bodies that both Argos and the two headed naga had sported stepping out. "Ah, seems we have finally found the illusive missing piece of our facility," the tiger said as he looked over at the dragon. "What are we thinking?"

"Looks like someone took care of containment for us," the dragon replied. "While I would have like to have seen what had made this particular version of Argos go rogue it appears that his secret will be buried with the rest of the facility. A shame... but enough of that, what is your call on this one Selenis?"

The nanite tiger looked at the crater for a moment and then reached into his pocket, pulling out a metal business card with the Sibergon Labs logo and a phone number on it before tossing it onto the ground next to the crater. Once that was finished the two made their way back into the portal and disappeared once again, this time the sounds of the forest eventually returning back to normal as they awaited their naga caretaker once more...
