Biohazard Containment Protocols (3/5)
When Tanakeah is given a mission to infiltrate a research lab in order to steal some files he always knows that there is the potential for being double-crossed or to lose out on the payment, but when it turns out that the target is him it kicks off a betrayal of epic proportions that leads to the release of a parasite bio-weapon on an unsuspecting city.

With no windows and no concept of time Tana found it hard to figure out how long it had been since he had escaped from the facility that had turned him into a monstrous parasitic bioweapon. There was no way for him to communicate with the scientist that drove him to their destination either, and with nothing else to stimulate him intellectually he felt his mental acuity start to diminish once more. It was like a darkness that constantly gnawed at the edges of his rational thinking, and it didn't help that he had indulged in that darkness by cocooning and infesting so many people in that underground research facility. Still... even though it caused him to lose his perception of metahumanity it did give him great pleasure to remember the face on that lupine scientist as he realized he was about to become a victim of his own creation.
The thought of enacting his revenge seemed to tickle him even more than usual and as he tried to rationalize what he had done the small voice inside his head seemed to whisper that what he had done was deserved. Since he had a chance to cool down Tana shook his head as he heard it, wondering if the transformation had given him some sort of psychosis. All he could hope for was this tiger scientist was able to stave off the corruption long enough to find a cure for him before he completely succumbed and became some mindless beast driven only to infest and spread. As he thought that the voice once more spoke up and told him that he shouldn't trust anyone but even though that was advice the former cobra usually followed he had to hope that this was the way back to his life.
It was hard for Tana to even remember his life after the week spent in isolation while they attempted to break him, or even what he looked like. When he saw himself in the reflection a cobra didn't look back at him, instead it was a tri-jawed, six-eyed purple pulsating monster with tentacles that writhed around him. Even though he had been in the open air for a few hours his flesh looked constantly wet as the purple alien skin continued to pulsate on his body. It was just another vector for him to infect others, another way the megacorp that created him could use him to attack and terrorize whatever they wanted for whomever paid them the best price.
But it was becoming hard to keep forming thoughts in his mind as Tana found a low gurgling growl escape from his throat. The parasite was still eating away at his faculties and there was nothing he could do to stop it, and part of him deep inside wondered if there would be anything left once they had gotten to their destination. Just as he let the idea cause a shiver to go through his body the van started to slow to a stop and Tana could start to hear voices outside. It appeared they had arrived, and as the van once more started moving forward but at a much lower speed he wondered if he hadn't just jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Once the van came to a complete stop the doors opened and Tana was greeted by a number of people in lab coats as well as a small army of security personnel armed with all manner of weapons. It appeared they had heard what happened to the last facility and wouldn't take any chances as the entire cube was moved out of the van with the parasite cobra inside and moved further in. The entire trip through the facility all he saw was concrete and steel, which in his experience meant he was in yet another secret underground research department. Though it was hard to hear through the cage Tana heard snippets of conversation from the scientists around him that were very excited to study a creature as unique as him and reverse engineer the process that mutated him so drastically.
Tana didn't care about any of that, even though he was aware he was a multi-billion dollar bioweapon and was just handing the technology over to another megacorp all he cared about was his cure. Finally they got to the end of a particularly long hallway and the cube was brought past a set of steel blast doors, the tentacle creature watching as the tiger that had brought him there put his eyes up to the lock to open it, and brought to another larger clear cube. It looked like a large aquarium and was three times as big as the one that held him now, which was good because he had continued to mutate and grow during this point and had almost become a cube himself as he pressed against the walls. The smaller containment vessel was pressed against the bigger one and as soon as the seals were locked the doors opened to allow him to go inside.
The second that Tana slithered in the door closed behind him and he watched the cube slide back away from the walls that were made of some sort of plasteel or tougher material. "I'm sure that this is definitely better than your last accommodations," the tiger scientist said as the intercom between the control board and the containment cell crackled to life. "If there is anything else that we can give you to help you enjoy your stay please let us know."
"You can give me the cure," Tana replied bluntly, watching the other scientists around the tiger whisper in amazement at his ability to speak. "I like the hospitality but I need you to start treating me now, things are getting worse and I'm afraid I'm going to lose it."
The six eyes of the parasite cobra widened when everyone in a white coat looked at one another, then started to laugh that was audible even with their distance from the intercom. "Ah, I may have forgotten to tell you..." the tiger stated as an evil grin crossed his muzzle. "There is actually no cure, and if there was we certainly wouldn't administer it. Surely you know by now that it isn't the information on the parasite we wanted, it's the parasite itself along with a viable host that can spread it."
Damn... double crossed by a megacorp, Tana thought as his anger began to build once more. As the tiger went on to explain how the place they had escaped from was actually their partner in the virus development the rage began to boil over to the point where his tentacles began to tremble. "We basically had them use the entirety of their resources in order to create the parasite and related bioweapon," the tiger scientist said while he smirked at Tana. "Then once they created you I let you out and wreak havoc on the place before luring you here; now not only will they go down for creating a bioweapon but the biohazard crisis you created in their main building will plunge them into bankruptcy while we use you unfettered."
"I'll never let you use me!" Tana let out with a roar as he took his muscular arm and slammed it into the clear wall of his cell. Although several of the scientists stepped back in shock the tiger remained standing as the tentacle creature thrashed at the same spot with every limb he had, only for his rampage to remain within the wall of the containment unit without so much as a crack. "You want this parasite so much, I'll infect you all with it, and I'll make sure that it's real slow so you can enjoy it!"
"I think not," the tiger replied with a chuckle as the entire containment pod trembled with the force of Tana's blows but remained completely intact. "Unlike that last unit that you could have probably escaped given enough time this has been built to be completely impenetrable and withstand even the force of a small-scale nuclear weapon. A highly infectious creature like yourself has to be contained since we wouldn't want you to go off spreading, at least not anywhere we don't want you to. Don't worry though, we'll let you out to play after we find the proper means to... motivate you to do what we want."
Tana could hardly hear what was being said as he continued punch both fist and tentacle and even his own head against the glass, but true to the tiger's word all it served to do was cause his somewhat squishy body to ripple with each blow and vibrate the chamber slightly. In the rational part of his mind the cobra knew that even if he got past this somehow they would just have to close the blast doors and contain him within that way until they dealt with him. There was nothing he could do but continue to roar and curse out the scientists before eventually they left, and once the object of his seething rage left he found exhaustion quickly catch up with his mutated body. Even with his augmented form there was only so much he could do as Tana slid down the wall he had been slamming against and laid on the floor.
"I told you not to trust them," the voice in Tana's head said as he heard it more clearly than ever before. The tentacle creature wondered if this was the insanity finally setting in, but as he heard a deep sigh in his mind it didn't sound like it. "I see you're finally starting to come around to my side of things."
Tana looked once more over at the platform to make sure that it wasn't a scientist speaking to him but there wasn't anyone there and the voice sounded as though it was in his head. Though he feared what would happen if he actually started listening and talking to it there was nothing else to do and he didn't have any ideas on how to escape anyway. "I'm starting to think that you're not just me being crazy," Tana hissed, his own words voiced out-loud in his rumbling voice. "If that's the case than the only thing I can think of that you are is... the parasite itself..."
"You got it," the voice replied simply. It made sense to Tana that if it wasn't his own voice it would be the one that he was sharing a body with, though he hadn't expected that it had the ability to talk to him.
"Yeah, I can understand that with how the typical parasite is usually viewed," the parasite answered, surprising Tana with the response to a statement he had just been thinking. "Also on top of the lies that the tiger told you I've always been a parasite, which is why they took someone from the street in order to infect and create their bioweapon, but I don't think they were aware of how sentient I would become after bonding to a host. It took a while but after getting inside your head I was finally able to reach out to you."
All three jaws of the parasite cobra clenched on hearing he was just a host to this creature, but with talking to it he at least had a small sense of stability that the thing inhabiting his mutated body was sentient. "So what do we do now?" Tana asked as he once more looked around his surroundings. "I wait until I go crazy from your presence and you take over my body? That doesn't sound like a great deal for me."
"I think for now we need to put our differences to the side and work together," the parasite replied. "I don't want to be confined here and I know that you don't either, so unless we both want to be broken down I say we keep our little bond here a secret from the white coats. Then once we escape we can see how things are going from there."
"It's not going to be easy to just escape from this place," Tana replied as he glanced over the containment unit, the security panel, and the blast door with iris scanner. "Even if we do somehow find a way to escape I can feel my sanity slipping, like just being with you fuels my rage and the intense need to spread you to others is mind-numbing. I don't... I don't think that I'm going to make it if we don't get out immediately."
"I can help channel that rage and use it to fuel the abilities of your new body," the parasite responded. "The urges will still be there, but they'll run in the back of your mind and you can still think clearly. Who knows, by the time we're done you might find yourself enjoying the idea of spreading your infestation to others."
The mental image of the wolf scientist transforming in his grasp caused Tana to grin once more, which on his alien tri-jawed maw felt unusual but ultimately satisfying. He wasn't a fan of teaming up with the thing that had turned him into a mutant monstrosity but since there was no other way to hold his mental state he was left with little option but to take the deal. "So what am I going to call you then?" Tana asked. "It's going to get old to just call you parasite all the time."
Tana could almost feel the parasite thinking about how to respond to him before it finally seemed to have an idea. "I did take your body, so I guess it would be poetic to take something else of yours," the parasite replied. "You can call me Keah."
As they had agreed Tana made sure to keep the fact that he could speak with the parasite and how sentient it was a secret as the testing began. The cube that had become the tentacle creature's lodgings was not merely a place to contain him as the scientists began all manner of testing in order to try and find a way to keep the bioweapon in check long enough to unleash him. They seemed to forgo any sort of positive reinforcement and right to other means, using everything from electric jolts to sonic waves at certain frequencies to keep the parasitic cobra in check. Tana found his body very resilient to such things and every time they did it he just smirked and smashed a tentacle against the wall as the parasite kept him in check mentally.
Days soon turned to weeks and between testing times Tana and his new parasite friend Keah got quite a bit of time to know one another. As the former cobra allowed the parasite to take a little more control in order to help with the mood swings and crumbling sanity they learned to trust one another just a little more, and as they did it seemed to deepen their bond and awaken more of their form. Soon their body had begun to spread over the floor and walls of the containment cell, much to the delight of the scientists watching this mutation manifest, until it had completely covered the entire cube in pulsating purple flesh. Not only did it give them a little privacy but also made the scientists have to come into the cell in order to get their samples, but after a week of that they had moved on to a new method of containment that involved pumping in cryogenic liquid or blasting the cage with heat in order to contain the parasite.
At the end of the second month the tiger scientist had come down from the actual skyscraper portion of the building to the secret facility underneath, his hand on his head after being told off by the head of research and development for his lack of progress. The board of directors wanted the bioweapon to be in use now but they still hadn't gotten it quite under control; while it seemed like they had the best luck with the freezing process they still couldn't command the parasite to do or go where they wanted. The best they could do at this point was take samples of the spreading flesh and see if the parasite was still mutating and the long-term effect it was having on its host. Normally they didn't care about such things but as the tiger walked into the lab in his biohazard suit they were no closer to finding the key to controlling this creature than when it had come in two months ago.
As the scientist approached he could see the entire cube radiate a white fog, which indicated that the freezing process had been complete and would allow him to enter. Since the parasite cobra couldn't be controlled and it had taken over the entire containment unit they had to freeze it solid to make sure it wouldn't mess with them. It meant they had to chip off their samples but it was a small price to pay to avoid being infected. As he reached the airlock the tiger could hear the crackling of ice from the warm air hitting the door before it slowly opened to allow him inside.
"The sight never gets old," the tiger said as he walked in and saw the hulking tentacle creature frozen in place, icicles hanging from its body as its tentacles hung in mid-air. "It's a shame you weren't going to play ball with us, could have set you up in much nicer accommodations. I mean, eventually you'd have become just some mindless monster anyway from the readings but it would have been fun while it lasted."
As the scientist chuckled to himself and turned away towards the wall to get some of the alien material that was on it, and as he took his eyes off the frozen creature he failed to notice as the six eyes shifted from looking straight ahead to down at him. In the weeks that they had continued to use cryogenics to freeze them Tana and Keah had adapted their physiology to nullify the effects on their body. While it had worked at first they slowly acclimated their form to the point where all it did was cover them in a thin layer of ice, though they made sure that the scientists didn't know it. They had also used the alien flesh covering the containment cube to see that there was no one else on the observation platform watching them and to fool the sensors to keep any alarms from being raised... which meant that it was their time to strike.
The sound of ice breaking as icicles fell to the floor drew the attention of the tiger back to the monster, who had quickly broken free of his frozen cocoon and had leaned towards him with an insidious grin on his alien tri-muzzle. The scientist immediately turned to leave but before he could get close to the door one of the tentacles wrapped around his legs and forced them together, sending him to the icy floor before dragging him back towards him. As he felt him slide backwards the tiger started to scream for help, only to be quickly silenced as Tana ripped the helmet off of his suit and had one of his cock tentacles clamp over his mouth. The parasite cobra hissed in glee at the look on the scientist's face as he used his arm tentacles and webbed hands to rip the rest of the protective suit off of his body while the cock in his muzzle continued to push down into his maw.
As much as Tana would love to infest him right there and now there were other matters to tend to that Keah reminded him of, the parasite cobra leaned in as he wrapped more of his tentacles around the tiger. "I told you that I was going to infest you slowly," Tana hissed as the lower tentacles of his body continued to coil around the scientist, the feeling of the naked tiger in his embrace causing cascades of pleasure through his form. "And I will, because I need you to still be you for just a while longer so you can help me..., no, so you can help US escape from this place that you put us in."
Even though his tentacles had started to cover the tiger in the parasitic flesh that started to seep into his fur Keah made sure to hold the transformation back as much as possible as they coiled around him. They could see his eyes starting to glass over and felt a slight suction on their cock tentacle that was inside his mouth. Even with his mutations being held at bay the mental changes were already starting as a droplet of purple liquid dribbled out of his ear. The tentacles that had completely engulfed the man slowly receded to reveal him in a fleshy purple cocoon with a sizable bulge between his legs. Tana continued to keep the wrist tentacles wrapped around the tiger so he could remain mobile as he begrudgingly pulled his tentacle cock out of the maw of the feline and grabbed it with his free webbed hand to seal up his lips in a similar alien substance.
With his prey secured they made their way out of the open door and into the main room, Tana breathing deep as he was free for the first time in months. He hadn't escaped fully yet though and before he did anything else he needed to get out past the blast doors that separated this room from the rest of the building. Before he made his way up there though he took a quick stop at the consoles that had been testing his body the entire time and brought down several heavy tentacles onto them. The groans of metal and the pops of sparking wires could be heard as he rendered the console completely useless before he slithered his way to the door with the scientist in tow like a strange marionette doll.
Even with the parasite invading his mind Tana could still see the tiger squirming in order to try and break free, but that wasn't going to happen with his legs and arms pinned to his side under the heavy layer of rubbery flesh he was encased in. In fact the only thing that remained visible on his body were his eyes, which the parasite cobra lowered towards the retinal scanner in order to be seen. After a few seconds the light on the lock turned from red to green and Tana let out a roar of triumph as he had broken out of containment once more, but this time of his own doing. Once they were on the other side Tana used the scientist to close the doors, then smashed the panel to make sure it wouldn't open again without some serious help.
"There we go," Tana said as he turned his attention back to the tiger, his six eyes watching the two the feline had go wide in terror as he trembled in his grasp. "Now what to do..."
"I think you know what to do with him," Keah said, his voice like a whisper in his ear as Tana put the tiger up against the corner of the hallway which stuck him like glue against the wall. "Enact your revenge, use your rage to fuel your need to spread... to infest this place just like they wanted you to do..."
Spread... infest... the parasite kept using those words and Tana found the idea of taking over the entire building to be sweet revenge. But first Tana had some unfinished business with this tiger, and if he was going to start to get his vengeance this would be the best place to start. Once more the parasite cobra's tentacle cocks slithered towards the tiger and this time there wouldn't be any stopping them as one took its place once more and clamped against the muzzle of the tiger while the other used its petals to suction around the tailhole of the captured creature after Tana used his claws to spread his legs. With the shiny flesh still encasing his body the male looked like he was in some sort of bizarre vac-rack as the cock in his maw pushed further in while the second one pushed up into his tailhole.
The anatomy of the feline had already started to mutate by this point and Tana leaned forward to put his hands against the chest of the tiger while he penetrated him from both ends. Though he could have used the rest of his tentacles to stimulate the scientist's body he wanted this to be slow, his jaws flaring open slightly as the sensitive flesh of his members were clamped down on by the tailhole and throat of the tiger. Tana took a hand and rubbed it against the guy's groin as he watched the bulge that had been trapped there loosen and flop free before hardening instantly, the parasite-covered flesh throbbing in his palm as the bulges traveled up his stomach and down to his chest. Even though he was still on the megacorp's home turf and still in danger he couldn't help but go slow, thrusting his hips forward in the mimicry of sex while his wrist tentacles wrapped around the growing cock of the tiger and slid up and down it.
Tana had been more pent-up than he realized though and his alien orgasm came swiftly, his cocks twitching and pulsing as they flooded the tiger's body with the parasite. As the infested scientist spasmed from his own orgasm the tentacle creature noticed that the wet, purple flesh that had stuck the tiger to the wall had started to spread outwards and when the tiger came it had become parasitic cum already that also started to tendril outwards from the puddle created. It was mesmerizing and Tana couldn't help but feel a strange sense of pride from watching the tiger mutate in his cocoon as it covered his eyes and completely encased him. Tana pulled his cocks out of him and when they did it sealed up the orifices to keep in the transformative fluid, the parasite cobra already seeing it spread to his muscles while it stretched over his open muzzle where several bulges that were too thick to be the tiger's tongue began to push out on it.
"You see now how intoxicating it is," Keah said as Tana pulled himself back as the gurgling growls that came from the tiger started to grow deeper in pitch as the flesh that covered him like a second skin showed the mutations in clear detail. "We can take this whole building just like that, spread out through every inch of this place. When your vengence is done this could be our hive."
"Our hive," Tana repeated, feeling the decay of his sanity start to set in once more. It had become like a deep rot in his psyche, but instead of fighting against it he found himself embracing it as he watched the tiger's cock stretch out to nearly a foot before it became prehensile and started to slither into his own tailhole to continue the cycle of infestation. "Yes, you're right Keah, but we have to get out of this facility first."
Though Tana didn't want to leave the scientist behind he knew that he would be back to play with him later, or if the parasite had reached maturity the former tiger would find him. Either way the cobra turned away from the wiggling, writhing body cocooned on the wall and slithered down the hallway towards the main elevator. As they moved he realized that they had started to leave a trail of his own, the fluid that dripped from his mouth and his cocks began to spread the second they hit the concrete. He could sense them sending tiny tendrils into the structure, infesting it just like it would organic flesh.
By the time Tana had reached the elevator it looked like someone had spilt gallons of purple paint down the hall, though it had already begin to creep its way up while tendrils pushed out from the surface. It would keep anyone down here from following him as he made his way up, which as he looked at the buttons he decided to go for the one marked with an S. It was the security floor for the building and a good place to start; most megacorps didn't have security monitor their top secret and illegal research facilities, but they would the higher up he went. If he wanted to continue to grow and spread he would have to take it out first, after all that's where a bioweapon would have the most efficiency to start off in as the elevator car traveled upwards.
