Winter Survival Kit
Niko is taking a job with an organization that has him locked up in a remote arctic cabin, and all he wants is a friend. Fortunately one comes dropping in.
It had been nearly a month since Niko had arrived at the cabin, the reindeer looking out the window at the snows that were falling outside. It was a scene that had never really gotten old even though he worried that it was, and considering his entire job was monitoring several radar sites for an independent research site for the winter months he had expected at least boredom to take hold. He hadn't even realized that when he signed up that the winter up this close to the poles was over half a year, but the pay was decent and the view was amazing. In four months he would get back to the city with a pocket full of cash and the means to start the business he wanted... while perhaps spending a little time partying. But for the moment he got to enjoy the scenery, and the rather intense internet connection that they had strung up here. While it was mostly for the data that was streaming from all the computers that were in the metal building next to the cabin. There was a small hallway that connected the two buildings, which considering how high the snows could get in this area it was a rather essential addition. Fortunately the storms that had plagued him the first month had almost receded, and it had actually gotten warm enough for him to step outside and not freeze his antlers off while bundled up in extreme cold weather gear. There was nothing that ever seemed to be seen on the radar dishes anyway, so that meant that Niko could essentially just spend the day playing video games or stream movies. The only thing he couldn't do was go onto the internet proper, something about wanting to keep the data they had secure, but they had gated enough book, movie, and game services that other then a curiosity for the news of the outside world he didn't really care. He also wasn't able to talk to friends and family for the same reason, which meant the only one he had really been able to talk to was the airplane pilot that dropped off his monthly supplies. Even then it was just on the radio, so other then his voice and the brief sound of the airplane engines there was nothing else to really break up the monotony of his life. With the second month down though he just reminded himself that it was only four months until he could talk to all the people he wanted. The last thing he wanted to do was pull the rip cord on this job, and while there was a button to call for an emergency evacuation it would cause him to lose all his earnings up to this point. "Maybe that new game came out that I could try," Niko said as he sipped on his coffee, frowning slightly as he looked at his translucent self in the reflection of the window. "Oh... I'm talking to myself, I hope that's not becoming a thing." As he thought about perhaps seeing if there was anything that he could grab on his e-reader to read while passing the time, he suddenly heard something that caused his head to snap up. It was the alert that something that entered into the field of the radar that it was detecting, and in the two months that he had been there he had not heard it activate it before. He almost immediately took his mug and ran for the back door that led to the survey station, a brief blast of cold air greeting him in the interim tunnel before getting to a similar blast of hot air from all the equipment that was inside it. One of the reasons he didn't like to hang out in there was because it got so hot, though it was nice to get in there from the outside as he went to the screen that was blinking with a green light. Niko immediately went to the nearby tablet and started to look up the protocol as he saw the large dot on the screen flashing, moving across in a way that he had never seen before. They hadn't really give him any formal training and was told that the machines would do most of the work, and in the event that there was something that he needed to input he would have the manual to translate. It was strange to the reindeer that they didn't have this process automated as well, but he had been too blinded by the money to really care about it. At this moment though he could see that there was a countdown clock that had appeared on the screen in order to confirm the code that was displayed over the object into yet another screen. "Hell... what are all these damn codes..." Niko said as he could see each second quickly ticking down. While he wasn't sure what would happen if he didn't get the code set in time he was pretty sure that he would get fired at the very least, but just as he looked at the screen after continuing to scroll down he finally found the code section he was looking for. With only half a minute to spare he finally found the correct sequence that he had to put into the computer input. After double checking to make sure he had put the string of numbers and letters correctly, he found himself holding his breath as he watched the message getting encrypted and transmitted. A few moments later the screen flashed, causing the reindeer to straighten before the screen turned green. Apparently he had done it right, and as he breathed a sigh of relief he began to see more instructions that were filtering onto the screen. As he leaned in he was told that he had to go out with a GPS device that he didn't even know existed, being pointed to a set of locked cupboards and given the code to open them. This was an entirely knew aspect, Niko thought as he went over and inputted the code and opened the doors. He saw a large handheld screen that already was active and had a blinking dot on the middle of it. When he checked it out he found it was a GPS, and when he zoomed it out he eventually saw an area marked with his position. From what he had gathered with the instructions on the screen he was supposed to go out and find wherever this unidentified flying object had crash landed. The whole thing was rather bizarre, though at the moment he was just glad that it had warmed up enough and there wasn't a storm raging outside as he took the device and went back to the cabin. An hour later Niko was crunching through the snow, attempting to get his bearings as he used the device to hone in on where it wanted him to go. With the sun starting to set over the horizon he wanted to find whatever he was looking for quick, otherwise he would potentially have to go back and try again tomorrow. While the instructions said that time was of the essence there was no way he was freezing to death because of something that his job wanted to do. Fortunately as he continued to wave the device around he eventually found what he was looking for, though as he crossed over one of the smaller ridges it became easy to find from the wisps of smoke that were trailing up in the air. Niko quickly assessed that whatever it was had taken a pretty hard fall, seeing the dirt mixed with snow as he continued to make his way down the last hill towards the crash site. His heart began to race as he wondered if he really was doing something like tracking aliens, but when he finally got there he could see that the wreckage more resembled a real satellite then anything otherworldly. At least it wasn't a plane or something, he mused, and as he got close enough towards the wreckage the incessant beeping that came from the device suddenly switched out with a command prompt screen. As he looked at it he saw that there were more instructions on the screen, this time telling him to search for a module that was marked with a certain identification code. It was hard to believe that anything could really survive the crash, especially something that he was told to handle with care. To make matters worse as the reindeer looked up he could feel the wind starting to pick up and looked over to see black clouds starting to gather on the horizon. It was a storm, and with being in the arctic they can bear down on him real fast. Considering how long it had taken to get out to this place Niko didn't want to return, especially since particularly bad storms could last days to even weeks. Fortunately the crash site wasn't too large, and with the winds continuing to pick up he got started with developing a quick grid system to try and figure everything out. Another fortunate was that there hadn't been much snow left on the ground after the warm streak that had hit the area, combined with the flames from the crash, had brought things to the dirt. He didn't have to dig through the snow in order to find a lot of things, and when he found the mangled wreckage of what he believed was the main body of this thing. Flakes of snow were already starting to fall and the blue of the sky was being replaced with the black of the clouds that were bearing down on him. At this rate it would catch up with him and he would have to trudge back towards the cabin, and just as he thought about perhaps calling it off he found a small black cylinder that was nestled inside a large container in the middle of it. After confirming that this was the one that he was looking for, and after thinking about how to properly bring this cylinder back he realized that he hadn't brought any sort of bag to hold it. It was the size of a small thermos, and with the winds picking up even more he decided to just put it underneath the heavy down of his jacket. His body shivered slightly when he took the cool metal and slid it up against the thick white fur of his muscular chest and abs. The thick clothing would keep it protected as long as he didn't fall forward or anything like that, and with the package secure he was ready to execute the last command on the GPS and follow it back towards the cabin. It was a three hour walk back from the crash site, and while he wasn't an expert on the storms from just two months of living up here he could guess that he would at least partially be walking home in the wind and snow. That meant practically running back towards the cabin in order to mitigate the amount of time he would be exposed to it, one hand clutching against his chest to keep the cylinder from moving too much while the other continued to keep his grip on the GPS device. The last thing he wanted was to have to pay for some expensive piece of equipment as he attempted to pace himself to try and get back to the cabin. At least the exercise was keeping him warm as the temperatures dropped, though the body heat was also doing something else as the cylinder began to crack and leak a thick black substance. But Niko continued to remain unaware of what was happening underneath his coat as he crested one of the larger hills, taking a moment to stop and catch his breath as he looked down on the other side. From his vantage point he could actually see the metal equipment shack that pushed up into the sky, but just as he breathed a sigh of relief he turned back and saw the flurries of snow that were coating the ground behind him. He had made better time then he thought, and guessed that there was much less meandering then what he had done when he got out there to look in the first place. But just as she got ready to start plodding his way down towards the cabin he had to stop as he felt something that caused him to stop. His hand had immediately went to his chest, Niko's breath catching in his chest as he began to feel a pulse that radiated from it. The reindeer started to try and shake out his coat as he realized that something had managed to get inside of it. At first he thought that some sort of large bug or something managed to get into his outerwear and had just managed to get to the warmth of his body, but the longer he attempted to get whatever was inside the more his panic began to rise. When it was clear that he couldn't get it out through conventional means he did the only thing he could think of and unzipped the heavy parka that he wore. The second he took the thick, heavy garment off of his body Niko expected to feel the sting of the cold air, especially since the storm was quickly approaching him, but instead he was only getting warmer. As he did dropped the parka to the side he still had on a thick jacket underneath, but with more of his fur exposed he could feel whatever was squirming around getting even more active. It was definitely something bigger than a bug, and as it surged up his chest he let out a gasp of shock. Something had just wrapped around his neck, and when he attempted to bring his hands up to remove it he could feel the tentacle-like appendage wrapping around him even tighter and squeezing. It wasn't enough to cut off his air supply, but it felt vaguely threatening as more tentacles could be felt. The reindeer's thoughts had turned from finding out what was inside his coat to getting back to the cabin. Even with the absurdity of the situation he realized that it had something to do with the canister that he had found, and as the front of his coat began to swell and expand from whatever was inside of it he decided to dive his hands in and attempt to grab it. Whatever this goo was it had quickly begun to spread, and with it slowly moving up to his head he didn't want to know what else could possibly happen to him. His shock and horror quickly turned to surprise when he found several of the inky tentacles plunging down past the waistband of his pants. At this point the shock of the situation had overrode whatever else he had been thinking, especially when it began to curl around the rather sensitive flesh of his maleness. As he continued to feel the rubbery material covering his thick pelt he finally decided it was time to strip down the rest of his clothing to try and pull this thing off of him, but when he stopped fishing around inside his coat and reached for the zipper he let out an audible gasp. The black rubber was not just coating his fingers, it had stuck them together! As Niko felt the thick substance continue to tighten around his digits he curled his fingers almost instinctively, and as soon as he did that he realized he had made a grevious error when he couldn't pull them back out. They had glued to the inside of his palm like a fist, and no matter how hard he attempted to get them to unfurl he found himself unable to. This was not good... especially since he could feel more of the substance leaking down into his pants. With no way to unzipper his coat he attempted to try and just pull it over his head, but as he did he worried that more of it would coat his head then what was already defying gravity to do so. He had no idea what this stuff was or what it would do to him, but as he began to stagger forward he could feel more of his fur getting matted down and his body becoming more stimulated despite itself. Unfortunately with everything that was happening to his body, Niko had forgotten that he had stopped at the top of a hill to examine himself. The first few steps he had taken were stable enough, but as soon as he crested and his foot slipped slightly he found himself falling forward with no way to stop himself. He could feel his hands attempting to still pull away from the latex as he shifted his body in order to stop himself, and though he managed to land somewhat gracefully it did send him rolling down the hill until he landed right at the bottom of it. The entire trip had left the reindeer completely disoriented, but more importantly had taken the heavily leaking container and completely crushed it. The sudden surge of rubbery material caused his coat zipper to break, Niko gasping as the thick, shiny substance flailed out in several large tentacles before they submerged back into the inky blackness that had completely engulfed his chest. As he looked down he could see that his cock was already completely engulfed, the thick length throbbing as tendrils of whatever he was covered in had coalesced around the hilt of his shaft as well as his balls as his already partially ripped pants were being pushed down his latex-covered hips. When he attempted to try and grab the waistband to keep them up he just pawed uselessly at them, and as he continued to stare in shock he saw something in the middle of his chest that caused his jaw to drop. It was an eyeball. The second that he locked eyes with it, he could feel something start to manifest in ways that he had never thought possible. Almost immediately his eyes went from wide-eyed in shock to quickly falling into a half-lidded state, and despite still feeling like he should be freaking out there was a strange sense of calm that had come over him. For a few brief seconds his head was tilted back as his focus had pooled onto his groin while tendrils slid over the sensitive flesh, and as more of them were beginning to slither into his tailhole he snapped his head back down. The eye had disappeared, or perhaps it had closed, but the imprint that it had left on his mind remained as the first flakes of snow began to fall down around him. The storm was starting to catch up to him, and with his parka left at the top of the hill and his under jacket rendered useless there was nothing left of his clothing. Even his pants and underwear had been so severely damaged by the fall, and potentially the rubber tendrils that were quickly coiling around his thighs, all he could do was get on his hands and knees and try to keep moving. But it was getting harder for him to even think, and as he could feel the rubber curling up underneath his lower jaw the individual tendrils were starting to curl over his lips. With his mind feeling sluggish his thoughts were becoming more focused on getting back to the cabin, it was being pulled away from the rubber that had already started to cascade down his thighs. Niko's breathing began to quicken as he could feel the suit starting to push into him, his back arching slightly as the rubber tendrils were coalescing into something far more phallic shaped. If his mind wasn't so hazy he might have recognized the shape being similar to the one that was being completely coated in the substance, but the longer he laid there in the snow the hard it was for him to think of anything but the pleasure that was suffusing through his body even with all the questions that were swirling around in his head. This substance should have been causing him to panic, but as he began to feel more movement in his back and something happening to his groin it was just another layer that made him even more delirious. His hips humped up in the air as the strands of shiny material began to fuse together around his maleness, not only completely encasing it but causing it to stick against his stomach while still erect. The huffing of the reindeer grew shorter as he began to squirm, though one thing he noticed above the silken fog of pleasure settling over him was the fact that the only places he felt that were cold was the exposed parts of his body. With most of his clothing having been shed and his boots being pushed off from the tentacles that were quickly slithering down his calves he should have been freezing to death, yet his body actually felt warm. It was hard to believe with only this rubber suit covering him, and even as the temperatures began to plunge he found himself more preoccupied with his encased member then trying to get back to the cabin. But as he squirmed and wiggled in the snow while pawing at his groin there was one last place that the rubber had to cover, and when his muzzle closed after letting out several gasps he found himself unable to open it. Muffled grunts came out of the deer's muzzle as the rubber stretched around it, forming into a tight seal as it also covered his nostrils. For a brief moment panic and anxiety flooded through him as he thought that he was about to suffocate, but much to his relief when he tried to suck in air he found himself able to do so even with the shiny latex covering the holes. In fact it was actually easier to breathe as the sting of the cold in his lungs was no longer there, but that momentary relief was pushed aside when the rubber started to reach his eyes and ears. His hands went up to his face, but as he felt the rubber around his hands harden into hoof-like protrusions he couldn't stop the relentless spread as it covered him completely. The groans and huffs that came from the restraining rubber grew tighter around his body. With the last of his face being covered it quickly moved up his antlers, as though it was merely an afterthought for the latex that had covered every square inch of him. As he tried to move about he found that his range of motion was still somewhat free, in fact even as he continued to try and think despite the sensations rocking his core he found it was actually easier to get up without the several layers of jackets that normally covered him. It still left him standing in the middle of a snowstorm naked... though he technically had the rubber on his body that was keeping him warm. Suddenly a strong gust of wind hit him from behind, and as Niko felt small dots of pressure hitting his back and head he realized that the storm was upon him. Unfortunately there was one main problem with the suit as he got up, and as his hands attempted to paw at the rubber that was over his eyes he found nothing but darkness. The rubber was completely covering him, and though he could still hear and breathe through it, he found his sight was completely blocked. He was blind while in the middle of a snowstorm in the middle of the arctic, but as he struggled to figure out what to do he suddenly found his foot jerking forward and taking a step. It had not been something he did; as Niko looked down at his foot, more out of reflex then anything since he couldn't see, he could feel it move once more without him thinking about it. As he began to start walking it was like he was being pulled along instead of actually making the motions, and if he had the capacity he would have gasped when he realized that he was being manipulated like a puppet. Once more he could feel something happening to the rubber, this time on his shoulder, and as he continued to move purposefully forward his shiny foot slipped on something and caused them to fall back to the ground again. This time Niko felt something inside his head, a feeling of annoyance that was accompanied by the rubber dildo in his rear throbbing. Accept... it was a word that was spoken in his own internal voice, but Niko hadn't been the one to think it. The pleasure that was coming from his groin and tailhole started to feel more deliberate as he could feel something wearing down the mental walls of his resistance. That alien presence had been continuing to manifest in his mind that was distracted in equal amounts panic and pleasure. It wanted to... control him, or perhaps just his body, but with the darkness surrounding him on all sides and the wind starting to howl in his ears he found it hard to think of some alien attempting to use him. Whatever creature this was, which is what he believed this sentient latex to be, it was somehow communicating to him without words that he needed to let the enveloping rubber be the one that was in the driver's seat. The idea of succumbing to whatever had latched onto his body was not the scenario Niko wanted to hear, but as he struggled to get to his feet again he could start to feel the chill of the dropping temperature even through the rubber. If they didn't get back to the shelter it was possible that they wouldn't make it, and considering he could hardly walk between the lack of sight and the stimulation that was still happening he knew he would never make it. Even if he could see it was likely that the snows that were swirling around him would make it hard to see, and if the rubber retracted from his body he probably couldn't find his clothing again. The alien seemed to sense his reluctant acceptance of the situation and once more the rubber covered reindeer got the feeling to just let go, to let this thing be the one in charge of his body... To succumb to the sensations and be taken care of while experiencing everything that it had to offer... To not JUST survive. To no longer be... alone. Whether it was the weakness that was coming over him from all the hiking he had done, or the mental pressure that was growing his mind, Niko knew what he had to do. Up until that point he hadn't even realized he had been fighting the influence of the creature, but as soon as he let go it felt like he was sinking even further into the inky blackness that had surrounded him. As he felt his senses being pushed further inward the warmth returned to his body, and suddenly the leg that had been shaking to try and even get decent footing had suddenly come up far more confidently. The rubber hoof stamped down on the ground as his body pushed itself up with ease, and while he still couldn't see, Niko suddenly became more aware of his surroundings. But Niko was lulled back into the constant sensations of pleasure that was being fed to him, his maleness trapped within the rubbery confines of the suit-like covering on his body. Even though the lack of fingers and toes would have made things awkward for him, the alien creature seemed to have no problem handling their combined form as he was suddenly sprinting through the woods. It was faster then he had ever run before, and in all the exhilaration he failed to realize that the rubber around his neck had thickened into a collar that also had an eye on it. In a matter of minutes the door flew open, cold air and snow blowing inside as the rubber reindeer stood silently at the entrance. Despite the speed in which Niko had managed to get back the storm had blown in already, but that was the last thing that was on their mind right now. As they walked inside several more eyes had opened, giving the man's body an otherworldly looked as it scanned the area for any potential threats. When there wasn't one they closed the door behind them and walked through the cabin, ignoring everything else and heading straight for the equipment shed. As soon as they walked inside Niko got a fuzzy image in his brain, seeing the screens flashing with red light. As he felt tendrils of alien thought probing his mind he realized that it was using him in order to figure out what was going on, the reindeer giving up the information that there was a secure message that was coming in. It was likely due to the fact that the GPS device they had been carrying was still outside, likely broken at this point. When the alien processed what was going on it reward the reindeer with a powerful surge of lustful sensation, which would have caused him to go weak in the knees if the creature encasing him wasn't in complete control. Instead he felt himself walking over towards the computer, using it to decrypt the new message. It turned out to be a wellness check; if there no response they would send someone to check, and though Niko could feel the alien's intrigue it decided to send the all clear instead. It needed more time with his new host, and with no one around it would have plenty of time for the two to get to know one another...
