Hive Mechanisms
Kevin is helping out his youtube friends by exploring an old foundry, unaware of what lurked below. The production of the facility he stumbled upon was not for anything traditional, turning him into a drone connected to a super computer.

For most of the city, the streets were alive with the bustling of people that moved to and fro, everyone walking or running around in the night air moving to their respective destinations. It would likely be chaos if it were not for the designations that were put on the streets that engaged the flow of vehicle traffic, which then helped to dictate the foot traffic that was next to it. With all that happening, anyone that looked down at it would see the crowds moving like the tides, ebbing and flowing from one place to another as the night wore on. There was one place, however, where there was no one that dared to set foot in, although the normally still air was broken by the sound of soft footsteps. Kevin wasn't even really sure why he was there in the first place as he pointed his flashlight around the abandoned industrial area. As the wolf continued to muse though he realized that wasn't exactly the case; he had promised that he would get some footage for a friend concerning urban exploration, and the best place for that was a sector that was locked off from the general public. After the facilities in this area moved to the far more modernized buildings on the other side of town this place was scheduled for demolition, but the city never seemed to get around to it, resulting in the decaying buildings that would be perfect for a spooky backdrop to some horror stream. What Kevin was really wondering was why he had accepted this task in the first place, especially since he wasn't getting paid with anything but the adoration of his friend as he slowly moved from one building to another. It was a small reward considering what would happen if he got caught, though after the first few months the police hardly even made their way to this area anymore to check on it. Sensors and gates were the first and only line of defense in this area, and even that had fallen to enough disrepair that he was able to squeeze his white-furred body through one of the security holes. Considering how long ago they shut this place it down it was unlikely that there was even anything left to steal, Kevin thought as he looked for a building that would fit the requirements of his friend. Even so, this area was still considered off-limits, likely at this point for safety more than anything. Finally after about half an hour of looking around Kevin's light shined on a rather large building that was set near the back of the industrial park. Though the sign was pitted and rusted out he could see that it used to be a steel foundry, but as the light from the wolf's flashlight shined on the broken windows and cracked concrete it was a long time since anything was heated up here. It would be the perfect place to get some footage, plus as Kevin made his way to the front gate he realized that there weren't a lot more buildings for him to explore. This was the largest one of the group and as he opened the rusty doors he hoped that he could get what he needed and be out before the moon was high in the sky. For the next hour it was just filming. While the sight of the impressive machines were awe-inspiring, at its core it was just another production facility left to rot just like all the others. It wasn't even that scary, especially since despite the decayed nature of the facility there was still power running through it to keep some security lights on. As he thought about it though he found it strange that was the case, from what he had heard the electricity had been cut from the area when it was first condemned. Perhaps there was some sort of solar power panels on the roof that was enough to keep the lights on, Kevin mused as he found himself at the pouring station for liquid hot iron. But just as Kevin was about to finish up and leave, he noticed something in the camera that he hadn't seen with his naked eye. One of the things his friend wanted was to get a few images shot in an infrared mode that the camera had, and what should have been normally blue and green on the screen had a bright red dot in the area where the huge girder molds sat. Whatever was there was below his feet, but as he used the camera to guide him he saw that there was one small line that led up to this level. Eventually he found it in the form of what might look like a crack in one of the massive girder molds, but as he brushed aside the heavy layer of dust he saw that there was a plate of black glass embedded in the steel. When Kevin made another pass with his hand over it, he suddenly backed away as it lit up. A picture of a hand print came up and he saw words appear asking for identification and to hold against the pad even longer. This was... not what he expected, and as the wolf looked around he half expected to see people watching him. Was this some sort of joke that his friend was playing on him? If that was the case then it was very elaborate, but it was also unlikely considering he would have to get permission to use this place and set everything up in advance. But while his first instinct was to just get out of there, curiosity prevailed and Kevin found himself pressing his hand against the glass to see if anything would happen. There was a momentary tingle against his palm as it registered as scanning, then verifying before everything turned red. At first he thought he had tripped some sort of alarm, but as he pulled his hand away he saw a number of error codes flash by before it mentioned some sort of emergency protocol. Kevin was just about to run out of there when the screen scrambled once more, then told him that access was granted followed by the sound of metal grinding against concrete. If anyone was around they would have definitely heard that, Kevin realized as the fissure in the mold opened up to reveal a set of stairs down below. This was way beyond his pay grade, especially since that pay was a favor from a friend, but instead of doing the sensible thing and getting out of there, instead he slowly began to walk down the crumbling concrete towards the darkness of the unknown. He could feel his heart pounding hard in his furry chest as he eventually reached a steel security door that also opened for him. Whatever this place was, it was the source of the heat signature that he saw on his camera, and while he had no idea what waited for him Kevin found himself inexplicably stepping over the threshold into this strange underground chamber. Almost immediately the wolf regretted his actions as the door slammed shut behind him as soon as he had gotten completely into the next hallway, spinning around in time to see the hydraulic pins get pushed into place to effectively seal him in. Kevin's breath caught in his throat as he attempted to pull open the door, only to find it more like a wall for all his efforts were doing to move it. When that wasn't working he looked around to try and see if there was something like what was on the outside, and it didn't take long before he actually found it. Though it was still working he remembered how it errored out, and if that was the case he might be in big trouble. Fortunately when he put his hand on the panel it did actually scan it, but unfortunately the flashed red and told him that his access was denied. Just as the wolf's heart dropped into his stomach, though, he saw that there were words that had appeared underneath the scanner. It told him that the door could only be opened with permissions from the central computer core, and then gave him guided directions on how to get to the control room. It was a flicker of hope, and even if he couldn't figure out how to open the door, he might at least find a way to get help. While it might also result in him getting arrested, at this point Kevin would take that over starving to death in some underground facility. He started to make his way deeper into this strange complex, but fortunately there were at least signs that told him where he had to go. Though part of him was curious on what else was happening in this place, he knew that this was not the time for more urban exploration. Not only was that how he got into this problem in the first place, but he could potentially be in even worse trouble if he managed to find anything that he shouldn't have. Eventually Kevin managed to get to the area marked as the central computer core, but while he was relieved in finding the room, he quickly found that his troubles had just begun. Whatever interface they were using had no screens, and when he tried to figure out how to manipulate any of he thought might be buttons or levers he just got an angry beeping noise. Eventually the computer seemed to sense his struggle, announcing that there was unauthorized access and that he needed to get proper clearance before he could do anything. Fortunately it illuminated where he needed to go, eventually finding himself in front of some sort of manufacturing sector. It looked like different workstations that were set up in pods, and as the white wolf continued to look around he was fascinating at the level of technology. It all looked like stuff from the future, or possibly alien technology as he walked between the station rows. The only thing that the couldn't figure out was what they were making down here, and while his first priority was to get out of this place alive, he was still curious enough to investigate. Considering there were were no others that he had come across, he had guessed that whatever had been there still was no longer active. But as he wondered why there was such an advanced facility that seemed completely abandoned, Kevin saw that one of panels was still active. It was the only pod that seemed to have power to it, and even from where he stood he could see there were some sort of schematics that were on display. With camera in hand, he decided to get some footage of whatever was down there, thinking about the potential that he could get when he brought it to his friends. While this wasn't his world, he suspected that getting something like this would be far more valuable then what he had been filming above. Kevin quickly went over towards the manufacturing pod, camera in hand as went over towards the wall with the screen. He wasn't sure exactly what to do with the information that was on the screen, the only thing he knew was that there was some sort of creature that was in the middle of it. Well, as his lupine head tilted upon closer inspection, it looked more like a robot more than anything. It had shiny metal skin and multiple arms, and as Kevin continued to look it over, it reminded him of some sort of mechanized humanoid ant creature. The rest might as well have been gibberish to him, tapping at the screen a few times to see if it would prompt a response. Just like he had thought, it didn't appear that there was anything active, and as he brought up his camera he took a few steps back to get the entire panel into frame. He was so focused on the shot that he didn't realize he was stepping into a red circle that had begun to glow after he had messed with the screen. It wasn't until he had gotten into the middle of it that he finally realized that something was wrong, but that was only when he felt something grip onto his ankles. The sudden shock of the restraints had caused him to drop his camera and try to pull away, only to find his feet rooted to the spot. When he looked down he saw that mechanical clamps had appeared out of the floor, latching themselves to his ankles and holding him in place with a grip that felt like steel bars had just been wrapped around them. Despite that he continued to try and pull his feet away, but before he could even reach down to try and give his legs a tug, two more robotic arms had descended unnoticed from the ceiling and captured his forearms. The sudden grasp caused Kevin to drop the camera to the floor, hearing the device shatter on the ground as his arms were pulled up. The breaking of the electronics was the least of the wolf's concerns at the moment. The fact that he was trapped in an unknown, underground facility was bad enough, but being completely restrained in this pod was far worse. He couldn't even move, and that meant he couldn't do anything to facilitate his escape. If he was stuck like this, then he would be trapped down here for the rest of his life... But whatever program he had incidentally activated was continuing to run, and when he looked over at the screen he could see that the images had shifted. It showed a blank humanoid creature that was clearly supposed to be him, and as he attempted to try and figure out what was happening next, he could feel something else going on. As arrows began to appear on the screen, two hoses came down from the ceiling and a glass tube rose up around their body. With no idea what was about to come out of those nozzles and the restraints too strong for him to break out of, the only thing that Kevin could do was brace himself as he closed his eyes. In the next few moments he heard a hissing sound and began to feel a mist getting sprayed onto his body. The sensation was not what he was expecting, and when he opened his eyes again he saw that the two hoses were moving around him while hosing him down. In the light overhead he could see that whatever was coming out had a silver glint to it, especially as it began to bead on his white fur and leave a sheen to it. What was very strange was that there was no odor to it; if it was some sort of chemical or corrosive compound then he would at least expect it to smell, yet there was nothing there save for the faint trace of ozone and a tingling on his skin. Whatever was in those hoses, a liberal amount of it was applied to his fur to the point where it was causing the strands to stick together. Other than that, and feeling his body warming up, there was still nothing happening to him as they retreated back up into the ceiling once they were done. Perhaps it was some sort of decontamination procedure, Kevin hoped, but as the spray shield pulled back as well he could see other things happening around him. More panels opened in the workshop wall, each one with a piece of metal that was on the tip of it. At first he thought that they were tools, but there were no sharp implements that he could see on them. They all looked like solid sheets of metal that were on the ends of the polls, and with the vice grip on his body there was still nothing he could do as they approached him. As they approached his skin it began to feel like his fur was standing on end, being drawn up like static electricity as whatever was sprayed on him reacted to the underside of the metal. Though it was hard for him to see, Kevin was able to crane his head down and found that his fur had taken on a silvery metallic sheen, the strands wiggling like tendrils as they fused with the plate that was slowly put onto his body. The second that the first thigh plate was pressed against him, Kevin felt his entire body shudder with desire. Whomever had programmed all this had done so to make the process rather pleasurable, but for what reason the wolf didn't know. The only thing he could tell was that his arousal was growing with each piece of metal that was put on him, and that his body was reacting incredibly strangely to this. As more of his body was encased with the strange metal, the tingling sensation that he had experienced from the spray was seeping deeper into his body. It was all becoming too hard to process, and as his five furry toes were being squeezed into metal boots that only had three, he saw the progress screen suddenly change. At this point his lower body was almost completely coated with the strange metal, giving him a very alien appearance, but as several more tentacles lowered down he could see the pictures shift to an x-ray view of his insides. He wasn't sure if this was actually a picture of him or just something generic, either way it didn't matter as something began to press up against the underside of his tail. The sudden intrusion had caused his head to tilt back and his muzzle to open in a gasp, which allowed the second rubber tendril to push into his maw with expert precision. Once more Kevin was lifted up into the air, this time by the tentacle pushing up into him and causing his entire body to tremble. With the other tip sliding down into his throat, the only thing the wolf could feel was the sensation of pleasure that was coursing through him. With his insides being stretched open from both ends the wolf almost missed the fact that the tubes were starting to pump something into his body, and as his head continued to get tilted back from the rubber inside his maw he could feel something else lowering into his vision. It was some sort of visor, and as it pushed up against his head, Kevin could suddenly see the screen that had been on the wall the entire time. All Kevin could do at this point was to just go with the flow, which aided in the tubes that were transforming him. Even with the screen now right in front of him in the form of the visor he couldn't tell what was happening, but as more modifications were being made to his body, there was a buzzing sensation that started to persist. At first he thought it was just the humming of the machines that were altering his form, but as the pressure from the fluid inside was starting to conform his body, the sensations intensified in his mind. The buzzing turned into a hum, and then it started to turn into words... except that it wasn't anyone talking to him, at least not in the traditional sense. The connection being made to his brain was aided by the antennae of the helmet that had been put onto his head, combining with the pleasure that he was receiving between his legs. The wolf was only vaguely aware of a similar pressure happening to his maleness like what was happening inside of him, his breathing around the tube in his maw growing more labored the deeper the lusts went. His legs twitched as it began to feel like something was being pumped into his cock, instead of it getting sucked as he continued to twitch. Though there were no metallic parts added to it, whatever treatment was happening in that suction cup had the sensitive flesh plumping out, filling the remaining confines of the space while the machine continued its insidious process. Kevin's consciousness began to fade after that point; he was only vaguely aware of something being attached underneath his arms, and something pressing up around his tail. The only thing he could even focus on was the pleasure, which allowed whatever else was being pumped into his mind to slip by undetected. The visor flashed the diagram that he had been staring at and words he couldn't understand began to flash over his face, though the only thing that registered in his mind was the glowing colors that swirled around as well. It was so distracting that he couldn't help that it was the center of his attention, and the longer he stared, the more the words in his mind rooted into his thoughts process. He became vaguely aware that the machine was no longer restraining him, and that the mechanical arms had turned to buffing pads that were polishing up his body. His body... it was the first thought that finally seemed to snap him out of his entranced state, but even with his focus being on something other than the swirling lights, he still felt off. It was like his brain was disconnected from his body, his thoughts traveling outside of the normal realm of consciousness while still maintaining control of his inner mechanisms. As he found his fingers flexing he recognized the command that had went through his brain to do it, but at the same time it didn't feel like his own. But it wasn't long after that the tubes that had been inside him were slowly withdrawing, a slippery squelching noise briefly tickling his ears before he was empty once more. With the restraints and everything else leaving his body, it had allowed Kevin to reach up and examine his new form... and found that he did so twice. In the daze of desire that had molded and shaped his entire being he hadn't even realized that he had gained a second pair of limbs, each of them with four shiny fingers tipped with claws. When he stared past them down to his toes he saw the two thick digits that had merged his furry ones together, though strangely he felt more balanced with them then he did with his old feet. Everything felt streamlined and sleek, and with the way the plates sat on his body along with the other features, it gave him a robotic, insectoid appearance. But that was because he was one... The thought had slipped so quickly into his mind that it had taken Kevin by surprise. Though it felt like his own inner monologue, there was something about it that didn't feel right to him. But any of those thoughts were quickly obliterated by the corrupted thoughts within his own mind. With his entire brain converted into circuits and wiring it was able to connect directly with the central computer core, the queen of this hive. But there were pieces missing within it, programming that had been cut out for one reason or another, and that allowed Kevin's neural network to become the dominant force while still being instilled with certain instinctive commands. In short, he was the new king of the hive. With that came certain tools that the machinery had blessed him with; enhanced strength and agility, the obliteration of hindering biological processes, and the ability to spread. For the last of that list it had taken advantage of his anatomy to do that, causing a slight chitter to come out of his altered mouth. With the way the helmet was on his head it felt like he would be unable to speak, but when he tried it he found that it came from some external speaker that had his electronically distorted voice. Though somewhere in the areas of his mind that were still being processed he knew that he should be panicking to the extreme, he was quickly soothed by his own thoughts that this was the way it was supposed to be. A hive needs a leader. A leader needs drones. The leader must go out and make drones for the hive. The words echoed in his mind like a mantra, and as it did it reinforced the commands that had already been implanted into his new systems. He had been given this body for one purpose; to create a hive of creatures just like him, all linked together and ready to work. As the processes insidiously assimilated the old wolf's thoughts, he found himself moving forward towards one of the examination areas. This would have been where another drone would have inspected him, but something had happened to this place that caused the entire collapse of the hive. What that event was, Kevin had no idea, but with a new king being instilled it meant that drone production could be brought back into full force as he stared at himself in the mirror. The shiny creature that stared back was very alien in nature, his earlier assessment of being bug-like being spot on with visor taking the form of slightly domed eyes and the two long antennae sticking out of his head. They were for more than just decoration though, it was what would keep him connected to the powerful computer that was deep in the core of this facility. All that ran in the background of the new processing center that was in his skull. With the synthetic creature tearing his gaze away, Kevin found himself desiring to leave the hive. As he left the workshop, the visor began to feed him information already being pumped into his mind. There was no need for it to be displayed, but the wolf part of him that was still present was appreciative of being able to see what everything did. Everything was able to be accessed by him, all the information on what the equipment did suddenly becoming known to him. But none of that mattered to Kevin at the moment, instead the only thing that he focused on was the small map that had appeared in the lower left hand corner of his screen. Once again the knowledge of directions would have been instinctual, but the computer that he was linked to continued to understand that the creature that had been transformed was still reeling from the conversion. There was plenty of time for the new king to get acclimated to his new role, and at the moment he just needed to get out of the facility that was slowly coming to life. Finally having a processing unit had allowed the forgotten facility to slowly stir, coming to life as Kevin walked through it. It didn't take long before Kevin had gotten to the door that had previously denied him entry. This time, there was no doubt on what the control panel was saying, and as he put his hand on the panel it glowed with a green light. The thick slab of metal slowly opened and released its creation into the world, the sound of metal clacking against concrete echoing in the empty foundry. With his augmented sight the darkness and shadows of the building were banished, everything being seen in perfect clarity while he made his way towards the outside... ************* Meanwhile, across the city, two other wolves continued to watch the footage that was on the computer screen. The two had been rendering and editing for the entire night, and as the dark grey furred wolf continued to sit there with his hand under his chin, the orange and white one got up and stretched. "I just don't think that this is really going to catch a lot of attention," the one sitting said, his red eyes glancing up to see that the other man had glanced over towards the window. "Hey Marble, your guy going to get here yet with that footage?" "I don't know Uriex," the standing wolf replied, looking down at the phone he held and the messages that continued to say they were undelivered. "He should have been back here already, the fact that he's not returning my messages makes me worried. What if he got caught in the foundry and he's sitting in some police cell right now?" "I'm sure we would have heard of it on the scanner," Uriex replied dismissively, sighing and sitting back on the chair. "I think that perhaps its time for food, you want to order something?" Marble just nodded and said that he would go and pick something up instead, pointing out that they don't really have the means for takeout and the corner store was just a block away. Though it was getting late in the night it was likely still open, and after grabbing his keys he could see that the other wolf had already gone back to staring at the computer screen. It was rather hard attempting to run a video channel, especially one that was based on old architecture and urban exploration. As Marble thought about it while he made his way down the stairs to the ground floor Marble began to wonder if he had done the right thing in involving his friend. Kevin wasn't as invested in this as they were, but they were on a deadline that they wanted to meet and needed to edit the footage they already had while still needing that foundry footage. At this point however it all seemed rather arbitrary as he walked out of the building and made his way to the corner store. Twenty minutes later Marble was walking out with a bag of food that he and Uriex would share, and as he went into the alley that led back to his house, he heard a ding in his pocket. It had caused the wolf's heart to skip a beat, and as he quickly fished it out he could see that it was from Kevin. The sight had caused a massive wave of relief to wash over him, and as he opened it up he saw that his friend had texted and said he was ready to show him what he had found. Marble shifted the bag to the crook of his elbow while texting back to meet him at the apartment so he could share it with Uriex, and as he was about to put his phone away he saw Kevin immediately reply to say that he would meet him outside. That was a bit odd, Marble thought as he looked down at the phone once more just to double-check the message. He just shrugged at that and decided to text him back once the food had been delivered, but as he continued to make his way back towards the door of his building he felt like he was being watched. Marble wasn't quite sure why, but it felt like he was being followed while he made his way back. When he looked around he found nothing but darkness surrounding him, though as he got to the small light that illuminated the door, he saw a glint of light from the corner that caused him to stop dead in his tracks. "Who's there?" Marble called out, his body trembling slightly when he saw movement in the corner. "I... don't have any money." As the wolf stood there, he gasped when the creature that had been hiding in the shadows finally revealed itself: a shiny-metal insect-man, slowly walking towards him. "What... in the world?" Kevin had been standing there and actually watched Marble leave the building, waiting for the opportune time to strike. Part of him had thought about sliding inside and taking Uriex first, but he wanted to convert his friend first. Since it was late at night and there wasn't anyone around, this was just fine as a location to induct the first member of his new hive. Though he was rather far away from the foundry, he could still feel the commands being given to him from the central processing unit as he had stepped forward to reveal himself. Almost immediately, Kevin could see the fear Marble had been displaying give way to equal measures of curiosity and awe. He had always been the inquisitive sort, he mused as his antennae twitched, and that was another reason why he had wanted to make sure and take Marble first. In a matter of moments, he had managed to close the distance between the two of them, and he could see the swirling colorations return to the visors of his eyes. The hypnotic spirals quickly formed on the outside as well, one set of Kevin's hands gently grabbing him by the arms while the upper set stroked against his face. For a second, there was a look of shock on Marble's face, but as he continued to look into the eyes of the synthetic creature, he almost immediately began to relax. It wasn't just the spirals that were shining into his own eyes, but the antennae as well were transmitting a signal that was interfering with the brain waves of the other creature. Since he wasn't operating from a place of panic, things were made even easier, and soon he could see Marble's eyes become glassy and his jaw go slightly slack. Everything was going according to his plan, and as Kevin watched, the wolf became increasingly enthralled. When it was clear that Marble was under his gaze, it was time for Kevin to move to the next step of the assimilation. There was no need to bring the wolf back to the facility; he had been given everything that was needed for him to continue the poliferation of the hive, and that was in the form of his cock slowly sliding out from the metal plate of his groin. Though it was still mostly like its own normal member, the sensitive flesh was shiny silver, just like the rest of his body, but with a rubber texture instead of the metal, like the rest of his carapace. He could feel his internals churning, the plate of his groin bulging slightly in preparation as he continued to stroke the wolf's muzzle with his hands. Marble was so enraptured by those eyes that he didn't even notice that his clothing was getting stripped off his body, the two sets of hands making quick work of them. His thoughts were so fogged and disoriented that he couldn't focus on anything, and when he finally was able to have words reach his mouth, he found his muzzle unable to open. If he could, he would have seen the silver strands of metallic liquid that had been deposited on his fur, which slowly began to spread and seal over his lips. Kevin could feel the other wolf trembling in his grasp while the new programming was seeping into her mind, causing his eyes to roll back until just the whites could be seen. The synth creature would have smiled if he wasn't so focused on remolding his friend, the connection they had remaining even after his assimilation. Kevin wanted nothing more than to bring him into the hive, to show him just what a wonderful body he had. The wolf was having his mind completely enveloped in the same blissful sensations that he had experienced, though the actual conversion would cement the neural adaptations. Already small bumps were forming from Marble's skull where the liquid metal had pooled, but Kevin knew that if he wanted to bring Marble into the hive that it would take a lot more to transform him. Fortunately, his time waiting for the wolf to appear had given Kevin's body more than enough time to replicate what was needed, the abdomen that had replaced his tail twitching slightly. He could practically feel the fluid within sloshing around eagerly, ready to fulfill its purpose to bring another into the fold. With all the clothing shredded on the ground between them there was nothing that kept the metallic insect from grinding his lean form against the furry body of his friend. As he did he could feel their erections rubbing together, pressing against their stomachs as his lower set of hands gripped both shafts and started to stroke them. Kevin's maleness was already starting to leak more of the silver fluid, which began to coat the other man's cock as he started to lift Marble up into the air. Though he still had the desire to make this as pleasurable as possible, the need to assimilate and the fact that they were still in the open pushed him to hasten the process. Marble was easily malleable at this stage, and all it took was a mere thought transmitted to him to get his legs to wrap around his waist. While he wasn't connected with the network quite yet, there was enough of a connection that he could start to feel the thoughts of the other man. Or what little thoughts there were still rattling around in his head. The combination of hypnotic programming and the pleasure had completely obliterated his thoughts, making it easier then when the facility had taken him. There was only a slight twitching that came from the wolf as his head tilted back, tongue lolling out of his muzzle as he was completely consumed. At this point he was a blank slate, ready and ripe for integration, and as commands began to filter in through the connection he lifted the wolf up even higher. Once he was in the proper position the tip of his cock had pressed up between those cheeks, and with a simple command it caused Marble's tailhole to relax and allow his cock to slide inside. As soon as it popped past the ring of muscle, both men shivered from the pleasure that came from it. Though Kevin's primary purpose was to convert the other creature and grow the hive, there was still the wolf within that desired the carnal act. It was a strange mixture of emotions, but since they all served the same goal, the programming merely integrated them into a single purpose. It had already been integrated into his behavior, the computer integrating the lust into his drive to spread the hive. The mission was already successful the second he began to push into the wolf, feeling the liquid metal spreading up his inner walls as they clamped down around it. As the shiny goo continued to completely envelop Marble's head tendrils began to infiltrate his ears and nostrils, slithering through his fur and sliding inside his skull. At this point his entire face was covered, becoming a shell just like his own as lenses began to form over his eyes. Though Marble's eyes were already completely rolled back, it wouldn't stop the colorful spirals forming on the translucent material from continuing to permeate his mind. With the connection completely solidified, Kevin began to pump his hips upwards to drive his cock into him. The white fur of Marble's stomach became slightly distended from the fluid inside of him, and with more of the silvery material spreading over his body it was causing his features to distort and morph. The groans that were coming from the wolf's mouth soon became grunts from his throat as his head finished getting sealed into the metal, the tendrils pushing deep into his skull and assimilating his brain, taking root deep. The rest of his body quickly followed suit, Marble's somewhat thin frame beginning to inflate with synthetic muscle, taking on a leaner, more athletic build. Kevin could feel the thoughts of Marble in his own mind as he began to thrust harder, his upper set of hands pinning Marble's against the wall to brace his transforming body. It wasn't just access to his memories; Kevin could feel everything the other man was going through as the primary computer interfaced with his corrupted mind. Their minds were mingling... and as the barrier between their personalities eroded under the pleasure, even their thoughts began to form in sync. This creature would make for a fitting drone, and as the computer continued to take control the metal on the wolf's body finished morphing. Though he didn't get the second pair of arms, the rest of Marble's body became similar to the one that had converted him. Fingers and toes merged together until they got the same digits as Kevin, and as his antennae fully extended from his head, the lenses on his head lit up. It was the signal that he was finally getting the programming downloaded while all the superfluous things like his memories and personality would be pulled back into the core. The entire time Kevin hadn't relented in his other method of conversion, their metal bodies pressed together as the pleasure of assimilation was quickly reaching its peak. Though it wasn't what he was chasing, Kevin's reward for bringing another into the hive as a wave of orgasmic bliss crashed down onto him. As the powerful sensations swept through him, it caused more of the fluid from his abdomen to pump into creature he had pinned against the wall. Though Marble was already past the point of no return, the conversion was significantly hastened by the additional material that flooded the spasming inner walls of the freshly converted creature. Both were calibarted to get the greatest amount of pleasure that could be given to them without minimizing their efficiency, and when Kevin was finished with seeding the other male he quickly slid out of the other robotic insect. While all of Marble's neural pathways were being processed, the computer system that linked them both was more than able to keep the new drone in check. Technically Kevin was in control of this new body, the line separating their consciousnesses blurred to the point where it was hard to recognize which body was which. It didn't really matter at the moment; the two had a singular purpose that could easily be orchestrated by one of them. With Kevin slipping out of his friend and letting him go, it immediately put the mechanized Marble onto the ground where he immediately landed on his feet. The two synthetic creatures moved in tandem towards the door, Marble stepping forward and using his key just like he always had. The bag of food that he had gotten was left in the alleyway as the two had more important concerns, not to mention that anything they needed would be provided to them by the facility. Though it was hard to tell with how far away they are, Kevin could sense that it was starting to kick into higher production from the addition of more processing power through the new drone. The new Marble was given simplistic purpose to lead the king into his apartment, which meant the rest of the former wolf's brain power could be used to help the computer run the facility. There was still enough processing for the two to make their way up to the apartment and fulfill their purpose. Not only was Uriex someone else that Kevin had wanted to bring into the hive, but he would likely notice if Marble never came back from his trip to the corner store. This would make sure that there would be no loose ends, plus the apartment could be a place to stay while attempting to find more drones. There was also the facility, which would be the main focus for all drones to go once they were assimilated, but eventually they would need the hive to have places where expansion was possible. But that was something for the hive to consider later; at the moment hte facility's central computer was still running on emergency power, and though there were two minds that were added to it, more were needed if they wanted to start such complex strategy. Kevin was about to rectify that though as Marble once more used his keys to get into the apartment, hearing the sound of the other wolf still working on their video. It was something that would certainly have to wait until later, Kevin manuvering into position while Marble shut the door behind him. "It's about time you got back," Uriex grumbled as he leaned back in his chair. "I'm starving. Also, did Kevin make contact with you yet?" "He has," Marble replied, his voice still sounding mostly normal even with going through the speaker that came with his new robotic head. "We're going to be moving in another direction." Hearing Marble say that caused Uriex to groan, closing the editing program and leaning back in the chair once more. "Well, we're definitely not getting one in tonight then," Uriex said, only for his eyes to notice something reflected in the black screen of the monitor that caused him to lean forward. "What the..." Before Uriex could do anything, Kevin came out of his hiding spot and used both sets of arms in order to restrain him in his chair. The lower set quickly latched onto his wrists and pulled them back behind the chair while the upper set latched around his chest and neck to keep him locked into place. The muscular wolf continued to try and squirm out of the grip, but the augmented strength of the robot insect was able to easily pin him to the chair while Marble made his way over as well. As Kevin continued to keep Uriex restrained, Marble moved forward to remove his clothing by ripping it apart. "What the hell are you two?!" Uriex growled, trying to thrash his head before Kevin gripped him by the jaw and keeping him from moving around too much. "We are your future," Kevin replied, sending a mental command to Marble to commence with the relaxation procedure to calm Uriex down. "Just relax, you will feel so much better when you submit to the hive. Trust me Uriex." Though Kevin couldn't see him directly, he was able to watch through Marble's eyes as the look of realization dawned on Uriex's face. Since he had already heard Marble, the fact that the other one sounded like his friend Kevin, it was slowly dawning on him what was going on. The look of anger and fear that was on the wolf's face melt away, replaced with shock at what he was looking at. In his surprised state it made it far easier for Marble to continue stripping the wolf out of his clothing while Kevin reached down with one hand and ripped the bottom back cushion where his tail had been poking out. At the same time Marble took advantage of the wolf staring at his new body in shock, lowering down so that their gaze met one another. The same swirling eyes that had ensnared him earlier were now being reflected back to Uriex, and the second that he locked onto those mesmerizing colors he found himself unable to look away. As Kevin watched and felt the bigger man's body relax in his grip, he realized that the hypnotic conditioning was even stronger than before. The facility was adapting and updating its algorithms, feeding on the information coming from the hive to make itself stronger and bring in more drones. Speaking of such things, Kevin mused, it was time to bring Uriex into the fold. Their efforts to make the wolf between them more pliant had succeeded; as Marble stroked along the thick light grey fur of his chest, both synths could feel those muscles becoming less tense. At this point the drone had managed to get all of the clothing off the male between them, and as the three sets of arms began to knead against his body to make him even more relaxed, the two noticed that he was starting to enjoy himself. Whether it was something already programmed into the hivemind or picked up by the assimilation of Kevin, the computer knew that the easiest way to subjugate and convert new drones was through inundating them with pleasure. The hypnotic spirals were already succeeding on that front; even though Kevin wasn't connected with Uriex yet, he could sense that the blissful enthrallment had already covered his mind with a thick haze of lust. The realization that the two synthetic insectile creatures were his former friends had caused the wolf to let his guard down, which allowed them to slip inside his mind and start to manipulate his thoughts. Combined with the sensual touching he was receiving from both men, Uriex was completely lost in the sensations of pleasure that were being fed to him, which was made apparent by his thick length growing harder by the second. While at this point they could have just as easily implanted a suggestion that would cause the wolf to go to the facility, Kevin had enough left stored up to make another drone. Though Marble did not have such material, Kevin knew the drone could help in the conversion in other ways. As the chair was shifted forward to give the robot ant better access to the wolf's rear, the one in front quickly slid down the furry body of the one between them until he was in a kneeling position. The metal that surrounded Marble's muzzle retracted, opening up to a rubber hole that was in the middle of the snout-like protrusion. It was the proper port that normally would be plugged into at the facility for recharging, but with the modified means of assimilation, it could be used for other things. Marble didn't wait long to get his head buried into the crotch of the other man, taking advantage of the erection that was provided to them as Uriex let out a loud gasp of shock. Never in Uriex's wildest dreams would a scenario like this have ever happened in his mind, and though he was a metallic creature, some part of his mind still recognized that this was his friend and fellow co-host. Something inside him said that he should be at the very least asking way more questions, but when he looked down and saw those shining eyes starting up at them those thoughts melted away. He was once more brought down to heel through the powerful pleasure that was washing through his body as the wolf's cock was fully engulfed. The powerful suction that came from Marble's maw had caused Uriex to arch back in his chair, only to be pushed back into it by the one behind him. Even though the other man had become very compliant, Kevin continued to hold him in his grasp, but this time it was to bring his own hips closer to his own. Even with the other synth keeping a grip on the wolf's legs, the chair was rolled back slightly as Kevin lined up his cock with the opening he had created. Though it would have been a bit of a squat for any normal person, but the augmented legs were able to easily hold his position and start to push his hips forward. Uriex was so lost in the haze of pleasure that was coming from getting sucked off that he didn't even realize that Kevin had gotten behind him like that. The silver fluid leaking from the tip of the hive king's cock touched up against the tailhole of the other creature, which as soon as it began to slide between the dark grey fur it caused Uriex to stiffen once more. After a particularly long draw off of his own maleness, Marble plunged down all the way up to the hilt at the same time that Kevin started to push inside of him. The feeling of the dual stimulation had almost pushed the trapped wolf over the edge already, especially as the upper arms of Kevin had slid down and started to tweak the nipples of his pectorals. At this point the two were just teasing this newest drone of the hive, a big, dumb grin forming on Uriex's muzzle as he continued to slip deeper into the throes of pleasure. The thick haze covering the wolf's mind was settling in and starting to proliferate with commands; even though they were starting at the bottom, Kevin's cock already starting to pump the corrupting fluid into the wolf, it was quickly starting to soak into the bloodstream and affect his mind. There was no real connections made yet, but it was starting to already affect the thoughts of the wolf that was starting to tremble in their grasp. Despite the increased squirming the two synths continued to remain perfectly in sync as metal began to form around the backside of Uriex. The wolf's claws dug hard into the armrests of the chair that was practically shaking at that time, but his eyes continued to remain locked onto those glowing spirals even as he saw something forming around his stomach. As the fur that was just above the drone sucking him off started to bulge out from the insertion and from the amount of fluid that was getting pumped inside his belly, metal plates were quickly forming around it. All Uriex could do was tremble as he watched his midsection getting transformed, but as tendrils of shiny silver slithered their way up towards his chest, there were more inside quickly assimilating his insides. When the wolf's head finally broke eye contact and tilted back, its drool was tinged with a metallic hue. It was past the point of no return, Kevin feeling the connection with the hive forming to this newest convert. The combination of pleasure and hypnosis had turned his mind to mush, which made it all the easier to assimilate the thoughts of the wolf into the hive that was created between them. Though there hadn't been many words that were exchanged between them, there were no more that were needed. Just like how Kevin and Marble were communicating with one voice, Uriex was quick to join them as silver fluid began to leak out of his ears and coat them. With the process complete, the hive computer triggered an orgasm in all three to seal their collective fates. The hive king let out an audible moan through the speakers as their pleasure was shared between them, feeling the sensations of those inner walls clamping around his cock, the maw squeezing against the wolf's member, and both orifices being filled. Even with the bond only partially solidified with Uriex the two could feel how he was thinking, which was mostly just the sensations that were being fed to him while his personality and memories were drained away. The new drone quivered in the chair as his body continued to transform, and unlike Marble, Uriex was starting to bulk up even more while the metal plates covered him. As the three continued to bask in the shared pleasure of their mutual orgasm, Kevin pulled out of the drone and gave a pet between the antennae that had already grown on the metal plate of Uriex's forehead. He would develop the rest of the metal and rubber like Marble, who had also drawn off of the member that was retreating back where it would be stored. He would make quite the welcome addition to the hive, the addition of the assimlating material strengthening his muscles to make him even stronger than he is. But this was just the beginning, and as Kevin looked at the video upload screen that had been revealed the computer had a thought that reverberated through the three of them... ***************** A few days later the empty foundry once more was illuminated by a flashlight, this time two people making their way through the old equipment. The brown-furred wolfdog held a camera to film, the focus on the draconic sabrewolf who walked in front with the flashlight. "Are you sure that this is the place?" the wolfdog asked while looking around. "They didn't have an address on the video." "There aren't many foundries in the area that were operating on the level that would require the equipment that was shown on the video," the hybrid replied. "Don't worry Flaming, at the very least we can say we toured an impressive abandoned industrial complex, though I have a feeling that whatever was in that video is still here." "Whatever you say, Serathin," Flaming stated with a shrug of his head, continuing to film. The two were one of the many that found the video of the foundry that had been turning a lot of heads, the deep conspiracy theory being alien creatures had infiltrated the building and were building some sort of base. It was what had attracted the two of them to try and go investigate themselves, undeterred by the rumors that there had been several disappearances in the same area. Most of the time it was just superstition and rumor that was added onto the mythos of the original conspiracy. There was also the fact that they had to dodge the patrol car that was driving by, though the hybrid just chalked it up to a coincidence. The way through had at least been clear, and it made them wonder if perhaps they weren't the first to attempt to try and find these alien creatures. It wouldn't surprise either of them, but as they made their way towards the next room, both heard something that caused them to look at one another. Both the wolfdog and draconic sabrewolf suddenly became more cautious as they snuck their way to the source of the noise. When Serathin had looked up the facility on his search it showed it to be abandoned, and since there was no power anywhere it was surprising to hear anything, much less something mechanical. As they walked their way inside this new room, they were stunned to see that there was something sprouting up from the machinery. While the old foundry equipment was rusted, these metal spires had a shine that glinted in the light. "Oh my god," Serathin said, his eyes lighting up while the wolfdog's eyes widened. "This is awesome! We're going to blow the lid off this entire thing, let's get ready to film right here." "Uh, Serathin," Flaming said, slowly lowering the camera as Serathin continued to try and find a decent shot. "I think it would be best to set the shot up over here," Serathin replied, unaware of the three creatures that had come out from the hidden stairwell. "Serathin!" Flaming shouted this time, getting the hybrid's attention. When the draconic sabrewolf turned around, he saw what Flaming had been pointing out, which caused his own face to fall. "Oh... uh, crap," Serathin said, the two of them backing away even as their eyes started to light up. "We... come in peace?" Kevin had just continued to approach with the other two in tow, the drones ready to strike the second the two decide to run. They had known that the draconic sabrewolf and wolfdog had entered into the foundry the second that they passed over the threshold, choosing to reveal themselves this time unlike the others that had passed by. The rest had come through in large groups, which the hive king wasn't sure if they could handle, so when these two made their way in it was finally the perfect amount of people to bring into the hive. It would be two more people that can help expand, and as their eyes lit up with hypnotic lights they can already see the two shocked creatures starting to slacken...
