A Timely Sabotage
This is my half of another trade with Hyruzon . His dragoness Crystal makes a tremendous breakthrough in science, but another scientist isn't happy about being outdone.
Crystal sighed as she looked at the white board in front of her. The surface was covered in a mass of equations and complicated mathematics. She felt, as she often had in the last few weeks, that she was chasing a hopeless goal. Combining string theory, general relativity, and wave function collapse of consciousness states seemed impossible, but she knew it wasn't. There was a breakthrough just around the corner, she knew it. She was almost there; one final, brilliant jump was all that it would take.
Reflexively, she looked out the window to check the time. Outside, the world was black, a billion stars glittering beyond the window of her lab. "Of course," she muttered to herself, looking at the clock instead. "No day in space."
It was about halfway through the night cycle of the research station. Crystal had been offered a space on the massive space structure after receiving her doctorate in Advanced Experimental Physics, something that still delighted her. This space station was revolutionary, bringing together the greatest minds of a thousand different fields. Crystal wasn't quite sure that she counted as one of the greatest mind, but she was good at what she did and the station was very cool. The only problem...
The automatic door to the lab slid open and a thin voice said loudly, "What's up, Crys?"
Crystal sighed, turning to look at Kall, the person with whom she shared the lab. He was about her age, so fairly young, but bipedal instead of feral. She wasn't quite sure what species he was, never having asked, but he looked like a lizard that had learnt to walk. He was also the most unpleasant person she had met, and the only thing she disliked about being here. "I told you not to call me that," Crystal said, irritated at once. "What are you doing here? It's the middle of the night." Of course, in space, night was only a relative term, but they stayed with the twenty-four-hour clock of Crystal's homeworld, which she liked.
"I could ask you the same question, Crys," Kall said, jumping into his chair which promptly rolled and spun down the room.
I wanted to work without you here to distract me, Crystal thought to herself, but she didn't say it. No matter how much Kall irritated her, she tried to remain courteous. "I had a difficulty with the mathematics," she said stiffly. "Wanted to see if I could fix it before I went to bed."
Kall grinned at her. "Want some help? I could probably fix it for ya."
Not likely, Crystal thought scornfully. Kall was some kind of medical-researching biologist. She had never paid much attention to his work. He must have been pretty good at it, otherwise he wouldn't be on the station, but the maths and physics involved in her research were far too advanced. Crystal was a mathematical prodigy, and they were almost beyond her. It'd probably make his brain explode, she mused. Then she thought, I'd be OK with that.
"No, thank you," she said instead. "I'll just go to bed now, resume in the morning."
"Have a nice rest," Kall said, waving as he spun himself on the chair. "I'll be here, changing the universe."
Crystal shook her head and walked out of the lab. The hallway of the station was brightly lit and as Crystal entered it, the bracelet on her wrist beeped quietly. A line of lights appeared in the wall, leading away down the corridor. They led back to her room, although Crystal didn't need them now. She knew her way around.
A couple of times, the dragoness stopped to look out the window. From this vantage point, she could see other parts of the station turning. It looked incredible, spinning against the blackness of space. For some part of her, it was still a shock that she'd managed to get here. After another long look, she continued on. Her room was in the same section of the space station as the lab and she was at her door in no time.
The bracelet unlocked the door as she approached, showing her quarters. They were a little cramped, especially for a feral dragon but there was enough space for her possessions and room to sleep comfortably, plus a small bathroom attached. Crystal sighed as she stepped into it, letting the door lock behind her with a small beep. "Fucking Kall," she swore to the empty room. She wasn't sure how much more of the insufferable lizard she could take.
She knew that it was late, but Crystal knew she'd never get to sleep worked up like this. Kall had a way of making her already high stress levels skyrocket. For a moment, she tried to decide between just trying to sleep and working off some steam when she made up her mind. A tap on the wall opened up one of the drawers built into the walls, revealing a mass of blankets and sheets for the bed. Crystal nosed these aside until she saw what she'd put at the bottom of the drawer: her vibrator, butt plug, and bottle of lube.
Taking all three from the drawer, she lay them down on the soft bedding on the floor. Her sex already felt a little warm as she squirmed in anticipation. She needed this tonight. She picked up the butt plug first. She didn't always use it, but having something in her tailhole always made the orgasms feel so much more intense. A few squirts from the bottle and the plug was all lubed up. Crystal set it on the firm part of the ground carefully before crouching over it.
She manoeuvred her lower body until the tip of the plug pressed against her tailhole, then lowered herself carefully, stifling a moan. She'd been embarrassed at bringing her toys with her but moments like this made it worth it. The perfectly sized toy slipped into her without too much difficulty, thanks to the lube, until her tailhole closed around the thin neck of the plug. Crystal squeezed down on it a few times, feeling the pleasure from the hard shape run through her.
Squirming again in anticipation, she lay down on the soft bed, spreading her hind legs and picking up the vibrator. This one was shaped rather like a dragon's cock, complete with a healthy knot at the bottom. It was fairly large but comfortably so. Crystal picked it up, considering the bottle of lube before realising that she was more than wet enough already. The butt plug had seen to that. The tip of the toy rubbed against her sex, collecting the arousal there before she set it at her entrance, pushing it in slowly.
Crystal moaned as the tip of the toy spread her, her hips moving into it a little. Biting her lip, she began to thrust slowly, moving he vibrator a little further into herself every time. She felt so full, with the plug and the fake cock. And it hadn't even been turned on yet. It didn't take long until the knot was pressed against her pussy, not yet fitting into her. It was then that Crystal activated the vibrator, yelping softly as a hum of vibrations fill her lower belly. They were transmitted pretty well to the plug in her tailhole as well, making it feel as though that was vibrating too.
Finding it hard to keep back the moans anymore, Crystal let loose, pressing down on the twin toys inside her and grinding against them. The knot of the vibrator was almost against her clit and Crystal rubbed it with the other paw as she began to thrust the vibrator again. The knot pressed a little further into her each time, helped a lot by the generous amount of arousal coming from her sex. Finally, with a particularly hard thrust, Crystal pushed the knot into her with a small pop. She gasped, almost cumming right then, but managed to hold back. She knew it would be much better if she waited a little.
The knot stretched her wonderfully, pressing against the butt plug next to it. The dragoness tugged gently at the vibrator, feeling it move, the knot pulling at her entrance. She was panting heavily and moaning now, very thankful that these walls didn't let sound travel. Her other paw was still at her clit, circling it as she pressed down on the bases of the toys buzzing beneath her tail. The pressure that had been building in her lower belly exploded, Crystal crying out as she came.
Her sex and tailhole squeezed tightly around the toys, pulsing and rippling as the cock continued to buzz powerfully, prolonging the climax. Crystal's paw was a blur at her clit, rubbing furiously as she howled, her back arching before she collapsed back onto the bed, panting heavily. With a shaking paw, she turned off the vibrator, the overstimulation almost painful. A sudden wave of exhaustion crashed over the dragoness and her eyes almost fluttered shut right then.
Blearily, she grabbed hold of the base of the now-silent vibrator, pulling on it firmly. After a few tugs, the knot popped free, Crystal yelping as an aftershock ran through her. She set the dripping cock to one side, but decided to leave the plug in. She couldn't be bothered taking it out at the moment; she wanted to sleep.
The smell of her arousal was thick in the air as Crystal stretched out, squeezing the butt plug a couple of times to remind herself of its presence before dropping off to sleep.
###
No alarm was set so Crystal woke up slowly, without the jarring buzz of the room's computer to jolt her. Keeping her eyes closed, she yawned and stretched her legs as she lay on her side, then purred a little into the pillows as she felt the familiar shape of the butt plug beneath her tail. The scent of her activities last night was still thick in the air. Blinking to get rid of the blur in her eyes, Crystal got up, yawning again.
"Activate ventilation," she said and a fan whirred to life in the roof. It wouldn't do to leave her room filled with the smell of sex. She wasn't the only person in the station with a strong sense of smell. Speaking of which, she should wash before leaving. Crystal picked up the dildo from the night before and took it with her into the small bathroom that was joined onto her room. There she finally removed the butt plug before washing both toys and setting them aside to dry. She felt a little empty after spending the night with it inside her.
The next thing was the shower which was always pleasantly warm. Less pleasant was the giant air dryer that got the water out of her fur, but at least the sex scent was gone. Trying to smooth down her puffed up fur, Crystal glanced at the clock. It was about mid-morning of the day-night cycle of the station and her belly rumbled hungrily. Listening to it, Crystal made her way to the mess room. There were few people in it at this time of the day; most were already working in their respective labs. Even better, Kall wasn't there.
Crystal got her breakfast and wolfed in down quickly. She didn't usually sleep in at all and wanted to get back to her lab. That breakthrough she had felt last night was waiting for her there, she knew it. As soon as her stomach was no longer demanding food, she made her way back to her laboratory. Unfortunately, Kall was already there. Maybe he'd been there since last night. Crystal hoped he would just ignore her but his head snapped up as soon as the door opened.
"What's up, Crys? Just getting in?"
"Yes, Kall," Crystal said. "And again, please don't call me that. I slept in this morning."
Kall looked back down at his computer, resuming his slow typing. "Not really the kind of habit one expects from a scientist on this station."
"It's a weekend," Crystal growled, stomping past him to her section of the lab. "And I was up late last night."
"Don't be an ex-cus-er," Kall said in a sing-song voice. "People don't like that."
Crystal ignored that, firmly turning away from Kall and towards her life's work. It looked basically like a cylinder on wheels with jumbles of wires and readouts linking the top and bottom. Here she was trying to master time itself. When activated, the area inside the cylinder would be subjected to another time continuum, creating a loop or still moment. It had wide reaching applications, especially for interstellar flight and cargo. That is, if she could get it to work. So far, it was just a very expensive box.
Turning back to the whiteboard she had been sitting in front of last night, Crystal let her mind focus on the mass of mathematics in front of her. Every so often, she'd change a figure, consult a book, or write something down, but otherwise she sat. To any uneducated bystander, it would look like she was doing nothing, but Crystal's brain was whirring, figuring out the problem before her. She could feel the equations coalescing in front of her, excitement making her heart beat faster and faster.
If that equation had that result, then...her mental sentence trailed off as she considered the implications, before jumping over to a new whiteboard. There she scribbled a new equation, looking over at the old whiteboard to make sure she was correct. When she was done, Crystal sat back on her haunches, jaw hanging down. She'd done it! All of those different theories, centuries of work by other scientists, was now bound together.
"Yes!" she said, actually leaping a little into the air. Behind her, Kall looked up sharply, seeing Crystal jumping around in joy.
###
The sound of Crystal's shout made Kall press a wrong key, almost deleting an entire page of his own work. He swore and looked up at her with a glare. When he saw her dancing around, he knew that she must have solved something pretty big. Kall swore again, this time more softly. The last thing he needed was this upstart dragoness making some big discovery in the same lab as him. The lizard looked over his own work. No one would care about any of it if Crystal's thing succeeded.
He knew the gist of what she was doing: something to do with advanced time manipulation. His research was nowhere near as impressive as that. His was manipulating biological functions but while there had been some successes, nothing like what he envisioned. There was the real possibility that his research could lead to immortality, the destruction of all disease and illness. And that was at the very least!
No, he needed to do something, something that meant that Crystal wouldn't be able to get credit for whatever success she'd had. A thought popped into his head, a plan forming. He smiled, looking back over a couple of pages of his notes. "This'll be fun," he murmured.
###
Crystal wasted no time in trying to finish building her machine. For the next week, she worked on it tirelessly, sleeping only the bare amount she needed to function well. A couple of times she forgot about meals, but it didn't matter. All that mattered was getting the prototype working. She'd run into a couple of roadblocks and this project was stretching her engineering knowledge to the limit, but she was almost done.
She sat down beside the machine, taking a break. A sheet of bulletproof glass now curved around the inside of the machine. When it was on, that would help contain the temporal field, ensuring that nothing bad happened, like the machine burning out or a black hole popping into existence that would swallow all the known universe. It did limit the space though. There was now enough room for her to stand on it, although, of course, she wouldn't be testing it on herself. No, there were other animals for that.
Crystal decided to test it out now. Tests on inanimate objects had run perfectly but now it was time to test it on something living. She put a small watch on the floor. Then, crossing to a cage, she pulled out a live mouse, holding it gently in her paw. It squeaked and tried to scrabble away, but she held it securely, putting it inside her machine and shutting the door quickly. With a small click, it latched and locked shut. The mouse proceeded to run around the floor of the cylinder.
Taking a deep breath, Crystal powered up the machine. It whirred and beeped, showing it was ready to activate. She pressed the button. For a moment, nothing happened. The mouse continued to scurry about, the steady beeping of the machine accompanying it. Then, the mouse vanished, reappearing where it had been thirty seconds before. Crystal looked quickly at the timepiece on the floor. It too showed a time that was thirty seconds earlier as well. "Yes!" Crystal said to herself. It worked, without killing the mouse! A completely self-contained time loop was now running inside the glass. The mouse could run around forever, ageing a mere thirty seconds, or as much as she wanted to set the loop for. "Perfect."
Happy with the success, she turned it off, putting the mouse back into its cage before looking around. Kall moved quickly but she still saw him. He'd been acting funny for the past few days. She had the feeling that he'd been watching her closely, studying her. Crystal wasn't sure why; it wasn't like Kall had the ability to recreate her work.
The bracelet on her paw beeped and she looked at the message scrolling across the tiny screen there. The manager of the station wanted to see her! Knowing that it could only be about her resounding success, Crystal smiled, shutting down the equipment in her part of the lab and turning off the lights in her section. She walked towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Kall said sharply. "It's the middle of the day."
The smile left Crystal's face for a second before returning. "Not that it's really your business, Kall, but the Station Chief wants to see me right away." With that, she left the lab.
###
"Shit, shit, shit," Kall cursed as soon as the door shut behind Crystal. His plan was going more slowly than he'd anticipated while Crystal seemed to be working at light speed. She was almost done by the looks of it.
"Live experiment!" he muttered angrily. "How the fuck does she work so quickly?"
He walked over to the centrifuge that was whirring on a table, turning it off and opening the top. A vial of brilliantly pink liquid sparkled in the light. It was the most practical application of his work yet, in his opinion. And now it was ready. He'd have to move fast; if the Chief was calling that wretched dragoness to him, then it was only a matter of time before he came to view the experiment personally. Once he did that..."It's all over for me," he muttered.
He had to act, and act now. Taking the pink vial, he took it over to the workbench where a half-assembled device sat. His serum worked best when inhaled in its gaseous form, which was what this device was designed to make it into. He slid the vial into it, then quickly finished it, screwing the final pieces into place. The device was small, but heavy, with a small aerial poking up so he could trigger it remotely. Kall did not want to be near it when it went off. He had no idea what it would do to him, but it probably wouldn't be any good.
Glancing at the door to make sure Crystal wasn't walking through it already, he scurried over to her machine. Through careful observation, and a little thievery, he pretty much knew how to work it already. At least Crystal knew how to make an easily usable interface, and she had already written half of the operating manual. Opening the glass door, he climbed inside. The lizard was a little nervous, although he knew he couldn't be locked in. That had to be done on purpose, but he still didn't waste time. The little box with the serum was placed on the floor, directly opposite the door. That way, Crystal would have to fully climb into the machine to get it out.
Knowing he didn't have much time, Kall got out, breathing a sigh of relief as the door shut behind him before running for his workstation. He turned off everything, along with the lights, making it look as though he'd left for the day. Then, he hid in a corner near the machine, and waited. With any luck, it wouldn't take long for Crystal to come back.
###
"I look forwards to seeing it," the station chief said to Crystal as he showed her out of his office. "A breakthrough of this magnitude is very impressive, Crystal."
She beamed. "Thank you, sir. I couldn't have done it without your wonderful station though. As soon as all of the bugs are worked out, I'll invite you for a demonstration."
"And I'll gladly await your message. Take care."
He shut the door behind her as Crystal left his office. She'd been called there for congratulations on her achievement, as she'd thought. After all, it wasn't common for a project to have such wide-reaching ramifications. Eager to be able to show the chief the demo, she told her bracelet to take her back to the lab. She'd work on the machine for a couple more hours before going to bed. She needed the bracelet here, not really being familiar with this other section of the station, but it guided her faultlessly.
When Crystal returned to the lab, all of the lights were turned off, only starlight entering through the window. Kall had obviously left for the day, which was good. At least she could get a few hours of work done in peace. "And he had the nerve to talk about me leaving early," she muttered.
The dragoness walked to her side of the room, powering on the computers and diagnostic equipment as she went. It was a complicated job getting her machine up and running, something that occupied her for several minutes. She'd have to make that shorter for future prototypes. Crystal looked over at the rat in the cage. "Got some longer loops for you to test now," she told it. "It'll be fine. Hopefully."
Picking up her timepiece, she set it inside the glass enclosure. She had just shut the door when she noticed something on the side opposite the door. A small black box, looking like it had been hastily thrown together, was sitting there. It wasn't part of the machine, and Crystal hadn't put it there. The only other people that had access to the lab were the station chief and Kall. "Kall," Crystal growled. She didn't know what it was, but touching her prize experiment was a step too far. She didn't know what his little box did, but it had no place inside her work. What if it broke the machine? The very thought sent a chill down Crystal's spine.
Growling in anger, she hopped up into the enclosure. She'd take this and show it to the station chief, get Kall disciplined at the very least, maybe moved. He might even get thrown off the station. The thought gave her a warm feeling. She padded forwards, picking up the box.
As the tip of her tail crossed the threshold, her eye caught a flash of movement from off to one side. She turned, but was far too slow. Kall darted from his hiding place and slammed the door shut so hard the glass vibrated. Half a second later, the lock clicked, sealing Crystal inside. Crystal shoved at the door, the box forgotten. "What the fuck, Kall? Let me out, now!"
The lizard was smiling broadly in front of her, safely separated from the enraged dragoness by bulletproof glass. Even if Crystal was willing to risk damaging her machine, she could never have broken through it. "Hi, Crys," he said, smirking. "How'd the meeting with the chief go?"
"LET ME OUT!" Crystal roared. She expected Kall to release the latch, holding up his hands and saying that it had all been a joke. But he didn't. Instead, he shook his head.
"I'm afraid I can't do that, Crys," he said, looking as though this was painful to say. "You see, your success makes me look bad. Your experiment is 'of paradigm shifting importance', as your notes say. So much so that no one is going to care about my breakthroughs. You think that's fair?"
Crystal looked at him in disbelief. "You think I give a fuck about your success? You're a rude, condescending jerk who should never have made it onto this station. No one cares about your research. You won't accomplish anything. You've been here -- what? -- two years, and you've failed to achieve anything." Seeing a dull flush creep beneath Kall's scales gave Crystal a savage pleasure. "Now let me out, and maybe you won't be thrown off the station altogether."
"Failed, have I?" Kall said, his eyes narrowed and a dangerous hiss in his voice. "No one cares, do they? Well, you see, that's the great irony of this whole thing. My first real achievement was because of you." He held up a small remote. "You see, I want to humiliate you like you've been doing to me. And my 'failed research' is exactly how I'm going to do that. See that box? It contains a sample of a serum I invented." He smiled in a way that seemed to radiate pure evil. "Why don't we just skip to full size tests?"
He pressed the button and there was an urgent beeping from the box at Crystal's feet. Her attention focused on it immediately and she tried to back away. The cylinder was too small though; Crystal couldn't move more than a metre away from the device. There was a hissing sound and she though it was Kall for a second, before she saw the thin jet of fluorescent pink gas jetting out of the side.
"Please, Kall," she said, beginning to panic. "Just--just let me out. We can talk about this!"
The pink mist was staying close to the floor but more was coming out of the box, the level in the glass enclosure slowly rising. Crystal could already smell it: an acrid yet sweet scent that clogged her nose. She tried to hold her head up high, out of reach but the gas kept rising. Eventually, she couldn't hold her head any higher, taking a deep breath and holding it as the gas closed around her head.
From outside the machine, Kall watched in amusement as Crystal tried desperately to delay the inevitable. The only parts of her that he could see were those pressed against the glass; the rest of the glass enclosure was full of pink mist. He knew Crystal didn't have a damn clue about what it was supposed to do. That's what made this so fun to watch.
Slowly, the mist began to vanish into wisps of nothingness. His formula was volatile when exposed to air, breaking down after a little but too long for Crystal's lungs. She had held her breath for as long as she could, but when she began to feel dizzy, she knew she had no choice. She gasped, breathing in lungfuls of the pink gas. She could almost feel it swirling around inside her, entering her bloodstream, and panic nearly overwhelmed her. What does this stuff do?! She wanted to scream the question at Kall but, just after her first breath, she held it again, not wanting to inhale more than necessary.
The pink mist dissipated so slowly that she had to breathe another four times before the air was clear. Her throat felt raw. "What have you done?" she wheezed at Kall, coughing violently.
"Just made a few changes to you," Kall said. "You see, that's my research. Some very specific ways of enacting changes to biological cells, not that you care. You just breathed in a pioneering bioengineering technology." Seeing the expression on her face, he added, "It won't kill you. You might even enjoy it. I have the feeling you're secretly kinky at heart. Your delightful machine is just the icing on the cake."
Crystal focused on her body, trying to figure out what Kall had done. Besides her raw throat, she felt no different from normal, apart from a slight tingle through her body, just beneath her fur. She had no idea what that signified but the slight buzzing feeling in her nerves was slowly intensifying. "What's happening?" she said loudly.
"What do you feel?" Kall said interestedly, taking a small notebook from a pocket.
Crystal glared at him, realising that he was using her as a metaphorical guinea pig, before shouting, "I feel tingly! What is that?"
"That would be your cells changing," Kall said, scribbling something on the paper. "Won't be long now."
The tingling continued, sinking deeper inside Crystal, leaving her skin behind and going for her organs. It was an uncomfortable feeling, one that evolved into pinpricks of heat inside her. She shifted, the sensation bordering on painful before realising that something felt wrong. Her body felt slightly off balance, like her weight had changed subtly in the last minute or so. She sat back on her haunches, looking down at her body. She could feel something...
"What have you done?!" she yelped. She finally realised what felt different. Running a paw down her front, she could feel a slight bulge beneath her fur. Right above where her womb was. "Eggs?" she gasped.
"Yep," Kall nodded happily. "I thought it would be a good application. Plus, it will be very fun to watch."
Crystal roared at him, throwing herself ineffectively against the glass. It shuddered but didn't so much as crack. She crouched to try again, but staggered, gasping, as she felt a pang in her womb. The pins and needles feeling in her body was now focused there and her legs felt weak. Another stab of pain ran through her and Crystal whined as she felt the eggs themselves for the first time. They were hard orbs inside her and Crystal could feel them growing larger by the second. The growth was slow, but definitely there, her belly slowly expanding.
There was another effect too, one that was much more embarrassing. Whether it was the feeling of the eggs inside her slowly growing, or a side effect of the serum she had breathed, Crystal could feel her sex begin to get wet. Glaring at Kall, she bit back a whine as she felt her folds grow slick, her belly now noticeably round. The arousal continued to grow with the eggs, her changed body accommodating them with only discomfort as they grew larger inside her womb.
It took nearly five minutes before Crystal found it hard to move. Her belly was swollen and round, looking like a full clutch was inside it, ready to be lain. The warmth in her sex had grown too, the fur around her opening wet and matted with arousal. Distracted as Crystal was, she didn't notice Kall moving around the side of the machine until he was almost directly behind her.
"Hey!" she shouted, yanking her tail down to cover her pussy and almost moaning at the feeling of putting pressure on it. "Don't do that!"
"Mhhmmm," Kall said. "Looks like a fun side effect for you. Feeling sensitive? I planned for that too; wanted you to feel every egg when you laid them."
"Lay them?" It hadn't occurred to Crystal that she would actually have to lay the eggs but she realised then that she wouldn't have any choice. Already, her clutch was approaching an uncomfortable size. She'd have to lay them soon or explode. And she'd have to do it with Kall watching she realised, her face burning.
"Please," she begged, the panic back in her voice. "Don't make me do this. At least leave the room."
Kall sighed and turned. Crystal had a glimmer of hope that he was actually going to spare her that humiliation, but instead he picked up a video camera from a nearby bench, flipping it open and pressing record.
"You sick fucking perv-- OH!" A shudder ran through Crystal's body, something that she instinctively knew. It was time. Less than ten minutes after breathing in the pink mist of Kall's invention, Crystal's tail rose as her body moved on its own, millions of years of instinct making their will known. Her body crouched with her tail lifted into the classic laying pose, another shudder running through her.
Her muscles were clenching down hard around the hard orbs, making her gasp. The first egg began moving inside her, her womb pushing it towards its entrance. Crystal couldn't focus on Kall anymore; all of her attention was on trying to push the egg out of her. Nothing else mattered. She groaned and panted as the egg began to spread the entrance to her womb. It hurt, but it also sent an odd thrill through her, although she did her best to ignore it. Slowly, the egg moved into her pussy, spreading her walls further than any knot had before. Whining and panting, Crystal squeezed with her sex, moving the egg downwards.
She knew now what Kall had meant about wanting her to feel the eggs. She could feel every detail about the egg in her sex, feel how it stretched her, moving over so slowly down. She could feel the slightly ovular shape, one end slightly pointed as it slowly moved downwards. In fact, she could feel it a little too much. It was when the egg was almost at her entrance that Crystal realised that she was panting for another reason other than the strain of laying. Her juices were still dripping onto the ground and her sex was burning powerfully with arousal. It still sent twinges of pain through her and it was uncomfortable but her lust was beginning to overpower everything else.
"No," she gasped, knowing what was about to happen. Just as the tip of the egg reached her entrance, the orgasm rippled through Crystal, her walls squeezing the egg powerfully as she trembled in pleasure. The motions of her sex pushed the egg down quickly and she gasped again as it crowned, her entrance stretching around the widest part of the egg. Then it slipped out onto the floor with a soft thud, shining with her arousal.
"Sexy," Kall said. "I love females with eggs."
Remembering that he was there, Dawn looked over at him, seeing him holding up the camera with one hand and the other stroking his erect length. Crystal opened her mouth to tell him off but the next egg started to move, another gasp cutting off the words before they left her throat. The dragoness closed her eyes again, concentrating on pushing the egg out of her as her body demanded. This time, she felt the tingles of nearness when the egg was only halfway through her passage. It wasn't any easier to lay this one than it had been before, Crystal straining and panting. The climax helped a lot, moving the egg almost to her entrance just on its own. This egg soon joined its nest-mate on the floor, Crystal's sex continuing to drip onto them.
As the third egg began to travel downwards, Crystal decided not to resist anymore. She left the next orgasm wash through her, cumming powerfully. The climaxes made the process of laying easier and she desperately wanted it to be easier. She let herself cum again and again, sometimes multiple times per egg as she slowly lay her clutch.
Finally, exhausted, she staggered to one side, sitting down heavily. Her belly was back to its normal size and there was a small pile of half a dozen large eggs on the floor, still wet with her arousal and the fluid from laying them. Crystal was panting heavily but couldn't help staring at them. She knew enough biology to know that they couldn't hatch, but they were still hers.
"That was hot to watch," Kall said. Crystal started, again having forgotten that he was her. The lizard turned off the camera, setting it to one side. "I'm sure I'll cum a lot when I play it back."
"When I get out of here," Crystal growled, "I'm going to rip your smug head off."
"When you get out?" Kall said, smiling. He walked forwards, towards the control panel of her machine. Crystal saw where he was heading a moment before and panic made her leap to her feet.
"No!" she shouted. "You can't!"
Kall's finger landed on the activation button. The world around Crystal blurred and she felt incredibly dizzy. She lost all sensation of where she was, feeling like she was spinning horns over tail. Then, suddenly, her feet were back on the ground and she was looking at where Kall had been earlier. Crystal's first thought was amazement. My theory is right, she thought. I do keep my memories between loops. This will change the world!
Then she realised the other implication, looking down. The eggs were gone from the floor and her belly was once again round and full. Of course, Crystal realised, her stomach falling. Of course, I haven't laid my clutch yet.
At that moment, the now familiar pain went through her lower belly, Crystal once again moving into the laying crouch automatically. She groaned in resignation as she felt her womb open for what was the first time, the egg stretching her again. She might remember the other laying, but as far as her body was concerned, it had never happened. "Please, Kall," she begged, cumming again as the egg dropped to the ground. It the machine was set how she thought it was, she could lay these eggs in a loop forever, always remembering but never ageing. "Help me."
Kall laughed again, still stroking his cock as he watched Crystal strain, then cum, as she lay the second egg. Sighing, he put his cock back in his pants, then set about moving some of the other equipment in Crystal's part of the lab around. Crystal couldn't focus on what he was doing, unable to shift from her spot as she moaned, the fourth egg cresting and sending another climax rippling through her, the pleasure mixing with the discomfort.
It was another few minutes before the last egg was again on the floor. Crystal knew that she only had a few seconds before the loop began again and turned to see what Kall was doing. With a gasp of horror, she saw that he was making a path towards the airlock. Most labs like this one had their own airlock to bring possibly dangerous equipment and materials in and out, without them having to pass through the rest of the station.
"What are you doing?" Crystal shouted at him, but before she could say anything else, she felt the dizziness of a reset wash over her. When she came back to the world, she was facing the wrong way. Before she went into labour again, Crystal turned with difficulty, her weighty stomach unwieldy.
"Well, how else am I going to get you off this station?" Kall grunted, heaving a heavy canister of argon to the side. He dusted off his hands and watched as Crystal cried out, her tail raising as she felt the first egg move for the third time, still feeling like the first. Kall almost settled down to watch her lay and cum uncontrollably, but her resisted the temptation. The longer he waited, the more chance he had of being discovered.
The next part of his plan was easy: Crystal had put her machine on wheels. Walking behind her again, he began to push. It wasn't easy, but the machine slowly began to roll. Plus, he had a great view of Crystal's tight folds spreading for the egg, then quivering in orgasm. It was hard work pushing, but not more so than hers. He eventually got Crystal and her work to the first door of the airlock, which he opened then pushed her in.
The dragoness managed to twist as she entered the airlock, an egg cresting in her vent as she looked pleadingly at Kall. "Don't worry," he told her. "I read your notes. The machine can't break at this point, not even for a power failure. The time loop prevents the air from escaping and you won't need any food or water. You'll just float out into space. In about a year or two, at this trajectory, you'll reach one of the shipping lanes and get picked up. My plan's foolproof." He winked. "Don't worry, I'll make up a story for you here. Maybe about you running away in disgrace after faking your results."
Smirking, he took a mental picture of the panicked, outraged expression on Crystal's face before closing the outer airlock door. On the other side, Crystal whined loudly, shuddering as she had her most powerful orgasm yet at the news. A couple of years of this? No sleep, no rest, just endless orgasms and laying? She couldn't even imagine it. And what if Kall was wrong and she was never found?
She howled at him, looking at him through the glass of the airlock before the outer door opened. Crystal, inside the time loop, couldn't feel the acceleration as the air blasted out of the airlock, taking the machine -- and her-- with it. All that Crystal could do was howl and orgasm and lay the clutch in her belly. She stared out of the glass. The machine was spinning slowly, and she watched as the station spun into view, the massive structure glimmering with lights in the void of space. It slowly grew smaller as Crystal sped away from it, spinning in and out of view.
She had been reset almost three times when Crystal lost sight of the station, the points of light vanishing. Her only hope of a quick rescue was quickly indistinguishable from the other stars in the void. Without the lights from the station, Crystal was covered in darkness. The machine would keep the air and heat in, and Kall had been right about her food and water. She could last in here for centuries, laying her eggs and cumming. Over and over, in the endless loop.

"And she didn't mention anything to you?" the station chief asked Kall.
"No, sir," Kall said. The station chief and two guards were standing in the lab, looking around. Crystal's half looked like it had been ransacked. None of her notes or anything that she'd built remained. "I just saw her getting into a ship in the middle of the night."
"The airlock was opened, sir," one of the guards said.
"Still, the chief said. "Why would she leave so suddenly? She had such a bright future."
"If I may," Kall said, giving his voice a nervous tremor. "Well, I hate to speak ill of people..."
"What is it, lad?" the chief said, putting a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"Well, I don't know if her future was that promising. Crystal seemed to be having a lot of trouble getting her theory to work. Up until last week, that is. I think she may have resorted to faking results. She said she was having great successes, but I never saw them."
"Hmmm," the station chief muttered. "I'll be damned. I never would have suspected Crystal." He sighed. "Still, if she's left, then there's nothing that I can do."
He motioned for the guards to leave, then turned to Kall. "You'll get a new lab partner soon, I'm sure. There are always people who'd like a room here. "Now, since I'm here, why don't you show me what you've been doing?"
Kall smiled widely. "Gladly, sir," he said, leading the chief to a table. "I think you'll be very excited with the success I've had, in recent days especially. I think it could have applications with endangered species..."
