A young pilot in a distant future is sent on a mission that will forever change her existence.


With a low hum, the elevator brought Jessica higher and higher. The OMC headquarter was a huge building and even though the young woman had been working in it for the past two years, she had never been this high up. She tug at the sleeves of her security-officer uniform. She was nervous and she had reason to.

The door of the elevator hissed open, revealing the office behind it. A clerk got up and greeted her: "Welcome Miss Simmins, just in time for your appointment, if you would follow me?" The younger man gestured her to leave the imaginary safety of the elevator cabin. He acted friendly, but in his face she could tell that he actually didn't care.

She was led into a large office, the huge windows opposing the entrance door allowed a good view over most of Genesis city, reminding her how far up they were. The large desk of real wood was like a separating wall between her and the two men sitting there, one older, one by his side slightly younger, both in business suits, each having a single pad lying in front of them.

"Sir." Jessica said, standing at attention.

"Please Miss Simmins, come and take a seat." The older man said, gesturing towards a chair opposing him. She did as she was told, having the feeling of walking deeper into the lair of a lion with every step. She sat down, folding her hands over her lap.

"Well Miss Simmins." The older man started: "How long have you been working for us now?"

"About two years." Jessica answered.

"Two years and three month." The younger one corrected her.

"All the time in security?"

"Yes Sir."

"And so far your valuations have been excellent." The older stated.

"You know why you are here?" the younger now joined in.

Jessica gulped: "No."

"Well, maybe we need to refresh your memory a bit. Our IT department informed us about a security breach last Monday." The young man tapped something on his pad.

"You have health-insurance level 3 right?" The older asked.

"Yes Sir." Jessica looked down.

"But on Monday that level was raised to 8. Any explanation?"

"I- I'm sorry Sir." Jessica stumbled.

"Level 8 is restricted for management and lead-scientists."

"I had to do that." She tried.

"You had to? You know very well what would happen if everyone would upgrade himself to top level. So what gave you the right to do that?" The younger man asked.

"My son, he ? he's suffering from Jeffersons disease. I couldn't pay for his treatment anymore."

"Well, why didn't you ask for some help?" The elder asked,folding his hands and leaning over the desk.

"I did-"

"Yes, she did, three times, there is hardly any chance she could have worked enough to earn that money back." The younger pointed at some figures on his pad.

"I had to get him to the health center on Taurus V, the radiation there, they say it helps." Jessica was almost crying.

"So you manipulated our system, got yourself level 8 and ordered a relocation of your boy?" the elder asked.

"You know that we could have called the police already." His partner added.

"Yes I know." Jessica didn't dare to look up, all was over now: "I will quit immediately."

There was a longer pause,then the older chairman spoke again: "Our company is a family, maybe there is still a chance to help a family member."

Jessica now looked up: "There is?"

"Well, you're a pilot?" The young man asked, looking at her references now.

"Yes, I've done shuttle flights for Sirius, hm for about two years."

"What would you say if we offer you a new task and in return, your boy can stay on Taurus?"

"A new task? As a pilot?" Jessica strained herself: "I'm willing to do anything."

"Oh, don't worry, it's not a bad job, it would be a prospecting mission on a planet we claimed."

"A prospecting mission? Wouldn't you need experts for that?" She asked.

The younger man turned off his pad and turned to his partner: "I told you, she's not the right one for the mission."

Jessica immediately interjected: "I am, I was just ? surprised. I will take the mission and start whenever you want."

"I'm glad to hear." The elder chairman said, standing up: "And about your question, we don't want to raise the attention of rivaling corporations, therefor we're sending you with only a small long-range ship." He extended his hand over the desk and Jessica took it: "I'm glad we found an agreement."

"So am I." Jessica answered, still close to tears, but now those were tears of relief.

Thomas tug at his coat. It wasn't easy concentrating. He was just explaining the flight-route to Miss Simmins and he had to admit, she was just the kind of woman he had always loved. Not too tall, slender built, long, brown, curly hair and pale skin, deep, dark eyes and full red lips.

They were standing in OMC's own hangar at the spaceport, right in front of the long range ship Comet class.

"Okay, as you see on the map-" Thomas pointed at the location of her destination on the map that was filling the surface of a table the two were standing at. "Your target is about 80 lightyears away, at the border of the Alliance."

"Does anyone else claim that region?" Jessica asked.

"No, not officially. It's too far away both for the Earth confederation and for the Terran empire. And none of the alien factions we are in contact with seems interested, there are few habitable planets in that region. So, you shouldn't expect any problems." Thomas continued. Then moved his hand over the table, switching to a map of the target planet: "P943-A. One of our scoutships found the planet on a routine mission, but we only now analysed the data and found traces of several useful elements, including the mineral Tauorit. Your job is to land on the planet and check if that can be find in the planets crust."

Jessica looked up at her ship. It looked fast, aerodynamic since it was made for atmospheric flight as well. Its range exceeded 200 lightyears and it had enough storage room to carry provision and equipment. Surely not a luxury flight that was up ahead of her, but the company did provide her with adequate resources.

Two days later, Jessica was traveling through the hyperspace. Her destination was at the outer areas of the Alliance space, most of the systems here were already explored, but aside from a couple of mining explorations, no one lived there. Pirates could become a problem so far out, but her ship was too small ho carry much valuable freights and it was fast enough to avoid most dangers.

After reaching a system, she scanned her surroundings, then made her way to the next jump point. Traveling with many times the speed of light was only possible if the gravity effects of different objects, suns, stellar nebula, black holes and the like neutralized each other, if that wasn't the case, the immense powers would rip apart any ship. So it was more like a jumping from system to system then a constant travel through the endless night of space.

"Hyperspace engines shutdown, current position 177.6 relative to 449." the computer announced, waking Jessica from a light slumber.

She started the scan and let the computer compare the data with the information she had about her destination. The relative position of the stars was right, she was in system P943. Binary system, one red dwarf, one yellow main sequence star. Her destination was the second planet around the main, the yellow sun. She set course and tried to get more information. It seemed pretty similar to earth, similar distance to it's sun, same atmosphere and about the same age. According to the first scout ship that visited this system, the conditions on the surface were much more harsh. Here was little water, just rudimentary plant life and no fauna, let alone, sentient inhabitants.

It took three more hours until Jessica could get more data about her destination. The planet was mostly a desert, temperatures in her target area was close to what was considered normal in a tropical earth environment, though she could confirm that the whole planet had more of a desert climate. Interesting how an oxygen rich atmosphere could be maintained with such limited plant life. But that was something for real scientists, she was just here to check for that mineral.

As she approached the dirty-yellow ball of P943-B, she could scan her target area. It was a rocky region, full of flat hills, rifts and craters. Apparently, there also were a couple of vast caves and tunnels, indicating that this region had seen a strong volcanic activity which had formed the lava-tunnels and caverns. Sadly, there was no place suitable for landing, she would have to walk about five or six kilometers from an even train to those rocks that looked most promising.

Producing a curtain of dust, the ship finally approached the landing area with howling engines. For a moment, it hovered over ground, it's stilts extending, before it went further down, finally touching ground, the stilts slightly contracting under the ships weight.

"Touchdown. Temperature outside 32°C, pressure 1.003 bar, atmosphere 78 % nitrogen, 20.5 % oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, argon, helium. Breathable. Radiation level, low." The computer announced. Almost perfect Jessica though, a bit remote maybe. She got up from her chair in the cockpit and walked over to the storage room. No time to waste. She opened the zipper of her rough overall that all pilots of OMC had to wear and took the exploration suit out of a storage compartment.

She had never been too fond of these suits. They were tight, according to OMC so they wouldn't hinder it's wearer, but the high-tech fiber clenched to each spot of her frame like a second skin. She was just relieved that there was no male around to see her like that. Not that she wasn't an attractive female, but she didn't like the hungry gazes of men, not anymore at least. She slipped first one leg, then the other into the black suit, before she pulled it over her hips, the fabric pressing slightly against her, accenting her behind as she pulled it further up, over her simple sports-bra, as she slipped her arms in and closed the zipper from her crotch to her neck. Next came those black boots and, most important, the belt, holding her portable scanners, knife and her gun. Sure, there was no native life here, but you couldn't be careful enough when out alone.

The light was brighter than she had expected it to be, but not that bright that it could be of any danger for her. The surroundings of her landing place could only be described as bleak. The had landed inside an old crater, partly filled with sand. The valley formed the entrance into a small canyon, flanked by bare rock. Nowhere could she see a sign of life. According to her computer, there was oxygen in the atmosphere, so most likely there was some kind of primitive plant life, but if there was then it was either hidden or at other places on this remote planet. Weather was stable, but just a few hours of day left. Jessica decided that it was time to start her expedition. She took her hand-scanner. Judging from the readings, it wasn't unlikely that she would find Tauorit not far to the east, somewhere in that canyon.

About half an hour passed and Jessica's readings got clearer. There definitely was something interesting in those rocks, at least, if you were an geologist. Though, without a sample, her employers wouldn't be satisfied, so she had to carry on and walk further into that direction. Suddenly, an alarm caused her to stop. For a moment,she was unsure what it was, then she took her hand scanner and checked it.

'Solar outburst, radiation levels increasing!' She read. 'Probable deadly level of radiation within 4:30 mins.'

What? Her ships computer had told her the local sun was stable and now this. She considered heading back to her ship. But even if she ran, she would have been dead before she made it half the way. When she looked around, she saw a cave not far away. Some now dry river had cut it out of the walls of the canyon. She couldn't know for sure, but it looked deep and the rocks should have been able to block the deadly radiation. Not hesitating, she ran over to the entrance.

After she made the first steps into the cave, the radiation levels started to decrease again. She took out her flashlight and turned it on. The cave's ground was covered with sand and small pebbles, an indication that it actually once contained a river. The woman was surprised that, even as she walked deeper into the rock, it didn't became cooler, no it stayed as hot as it was outside. Again, she checked her scanner. Radiation levels were now below fatal level, but still high, she needed to get deeper into the cave, also, it grew more and more humid.

Further she went into the cave and suddenly noticed something. The sound of her boots on the ground had changed. The pointed down her flashlight. Still sand and pebbles. She crouched down and checked it again. Yes, it was still the same material, but it seemed altered, like it had been glued together. She reached down and felt the material, it was rubbery, soft, yet sturdy. Jessica had never heard about some mineral with such features. Then, she heard something.

Quickly, Jessica jumped back up and, not knowing when she had pulled it out, her gun was suddenly in her hand. Not a moment too late, as a huge creature was charging up towards her.

"Stop right there!" She screamed, hoping that thing would at least get the sound of her voice.

Six insectoid legs moved the creature quickly towards her and sharp teeth blinked out of a parted jaw.

"I said stop." Jessica almost begged. Her hands were shaking when she aimed. That thing walked halfway upright and it was huge, maybe as big as a horse, just it was a horse from the worst nightmare imaginable. Two pair of "arms" were making clicking noises. The upper pair ending in long, razor sharp claws, the lower one being smaller and apparently for manipulating objects. Cold compound eyes were directed towards Jessica as the thing kept on approaching her, raising it's natural weapons.

Jessica aimed, inhaled deep and then shot. The creature hissed angry as the bullets were defected from it's thick armor and charged towards the young woman. Jessica shot again, this time holding down the trigger for auto fire. It was as if a hammer hit the thing, every new round of bullets made it tremble backwards and the sound of metal against chitin was awful. Soon, a few of the bullets penetrated through weaker parts of the armor, penetrating into the soft flesh underneath, causing white blood and indefinable goo to spray out of the wounds.

When Jessica finally stopped firing, the thing had collapsed only two meters away from her, it's legs still twitching, but there was no sign of coordinated movement anymore. Jessica was panting. She had been close to panicking but maintained her composure. Still, the adrenaline was rushing through her veins and the physical effect of the recoil the gun did made her legs shake. She checked the guns magazine. Almost empty. Maybe she should have saved bullets, but then again, she had seen how sturdy that beast had been. Most likely, it wasn't alone, so she had to get out of the cave again, radiation or no, staying here would be way more dangerous.

Then, she heard it: "Oh no." Jessica said to herself as the clicking sounds echoed through the corridor, coming from both directions. In no time, she was surrounded by no less than 4 alien beasts. Two blocking the corridor she had just come while two still stood behind their fallen comrade, their eyes offering no hint if they understood what had just happened here.

Jessica raised her gun again. She had used most of her bullets for only one those creatures, how should she protect herself against four? Someone had once told her to always safe the last bullet for yourself. She shuddered, the thought of ending her own life - she didn't want to die. Looking at the claws and the jaws of those monsters it seemed almost compelling. A quick, maybe painless death. But was this how it would end? On some nameless planet? In some dark corridor? No, it just couldn't be. What would become of her son? Who would take care of him? She aimed at the next creature, but the four beasts just stood there for now.

Then one of the aliens, was it the biggest one? Hissed at her. It was a terrifying, alien sound, a sound that made it clear that she was on a world where she shouldn't be. And a sound that made it clear that she wouldn't make it out of this tunnel alive if she choose to fight. Did those monsters understand what that thing in her hand was? At least, one of them seemed to point at it with it's razor sharp claw.

They acted less aggressive then the one she had encountered previously, maybe diplomacy would work. And what other chance did she have? Remembering the few things she had learned about first contact situations, she slowly lay her gun onto the ground, never leaving the beasts in front of her out of her eyes. With raised hands, she then stood up again.

"Okay, easy. I didn't mean to kill your little friend." She said, knowing that they wouldn't understand her, but a calm, slow voice might help calming them, too.

One of the beasts hissed at her, making her stumble a bit back. Jessica shrieked as she felt the claw of yet another beast against her back and stepped forward again. At least, it didn't kill her. The huge creature in front of her tilted it's head slightly as if it was mustering her closer.

"I assume you're not just letting me go home, right?" There was another now higher hiss from one of the creatures and she heard the clicking sound of their clawed feet on the ground right behind her.

"Apparently not." She said, being forced to step closer to the one standing in front of her. It was weird, but for some reason, he seemed less frightening, less dangerous. Silly girl. Jessica scold herself. That thing was huge and it's claws could easily rip her apart, you are seeing things. She looked up into his unmoving, insectoid face, searching for any motion that could proof her impression, but of course, there was none. Instead, the thing slowly raised one of it's sharp claws.

"Fuck - I mean, easy with these." Not able to escape backwards, Jessica felt panic again rising in her. She knew that wouldn't help her, she had to be calm here, at least, those bugs weren't going to kill her, right? But then she remembered stories about insects needing living prey to nourish their larvae. She shivered. Stop thinking that way! She closely followed the claw that came up to her neck. They are most likely the only species on this planet, they wouldn't be alive anymore if they ate everyone they happen to meet. A weak solace, Jessica knew, but she had to keep her fear at bay.

With a swift movement, the claw cut through her suit, ripping it open from neck to crotch.

"What the!" Jessica screamed, but earned no answer from the creatures at all. Much to her surprise, she didn't suffer any wounds, not the slightest scratch was visible on her now exposed skin.

"Oh you- you want me without clothes? What's the meaning of this?" She asked but again, she didn't get an answer, instead, the beast behind her shoved her a little forward, deeper into the tunnel.

"Okay, okay, I got it." She regretted that she had put the weapon down, but there was nothing she could do anyway. Quickly she discarded the remains of her torn clothes, shaking her head. She couldn't belief that she was actually doing this. She felt so weak and vulnerable nude among those beasts. At least, the warm, humid air all around her was pleasant.

Then, she felt the monster behind her shoving her again, while the first one, the one that had cut her clothes stepped aside. Slowly, her hearth beating violently up in her throat, she made her way deeper into the tunnel. She could see the silhouettes of more creatures in front of her as well as the steps of others behind her. A faint, orange light illuminated the corridor just enough for her to find her way, without seeing details. She needed a plan, some way to get out of here and back into her ship. Right now, there was not much she could do, but they were leading her somewhere, maybe there she would find out more.

Junctions, crossings, shafts leading up and down. It all made it obvious that this cave - or was it a nest - was huge. But the beasts seemed to really know where they were leading Jessica to. The corridor lead down, deep into the rock and the warmth and humidity became more and more intense. Finally, they reached their destination.

Jessica looked around, had she only seen long corridors so far, she was surprised to now find herself in a vast chamber. It formed a hemisphere with at least twenty meters in diameter, maybe more. The geometrical perfection struck her with ave, but then Jessica remembered having heard about insects building very precise structures, though those were in a much smaller scale.

There were smaller heaps of organic material. Jessica's first idea was that it might have been chitinous exoskeletons of the beasts, or maybe old, torn open cocoons. Definitely nothing she wanted to explore closer, since she also saw a hand full of smaller creatures running around between those remains. A weird scent filled the chamber, making her feel somewhat dizzy. A claw in her back pushed her forward, the woman stumbling into the chamber.

So far, she hadn't seen any remains of their food, but she knew that when she did, it would be too late anyway, if she wanted to get out, then this was the right time. She turned around, standing only inches away from one of the monsters: "Okay, I-" She wanted to give a cocky comment like 'thank you for the tour, but I'm out now', but her voice failed her. For a moment, the beast looked at her, then, using it's scythe like claw, it pushed her towards the nearest wall.

Jessica gasped as the air was pushed out of her lungs when she hit the wall, the claw of the beast holding her there: "Stop it, please." She begged. But of course, there was no visible reaction from the alien. Quite contrary, a moment later, another creature appeared. That one being much smaller, maybe the size of a mid-sized dog, a high, round body, four compound eyes and six long, thin legs made it look a little like a spider. Aside from a pair of small mandible it carried no visible weapons, but still Jessica was in panic at the sight of the quickly moving creature. She wound and struggled in the grip of the warrior, but there was no way out. Soon, the smaller alien was at the wall next to her, hissing and wavering, until suddenly it opened it's mouth and sprayed a gush of some white liquid onto Jessica's exposed abdomen. The woman screamed in terror as the substance quickly changed it's texture, turning into a semi-solid fabric. Even thin filaments became visible in the dim light.

"Fuck! What are you?" Jessica still tried to escape her captors grip, but within no time, her legs and arms were bound to the rock in her back with the same substance.

If she had been close to panic before, she was way beyond that now, but there was nothing she could do. She tried to struggle, to fight, but she could barely move, let alone free herself from those strong bonds. And even if she did, those beasts were still around right? She tried to bite into the fabric holding her ? no use. Pulling her arms up ? too weak to even try. Jell at her captors? They seemed not even to hear her. After a moment, the biggest creatures, those who had brought her into the cavern seemed to retreat. Starting to become exhausted, she tried to understand what was happening. First off, she shouldn't get exhausted yet. Sure, her hearth had been racing at an incredible high pace and the attempts to free herself were close to heavy sports, but she was in good shape, she should last longer than that. Or did it have something to do with the weird scent in this room? And why were those beasts suddenly so docile? They withdrew, two left the room entirely, while the others seemed to walk around with no visible designation.

Some minutes passed. Or were it only seconds? It was hard to tell, for Jessica it could have been hours, time seemed to flow like some kind of thick goo now. She was still thinking about how she could get out of this situation, but she saw no chance, at least, she was still alive. Or wasn't she? This was so odd, it felt like a nightmare. She noticed another type of alien. These were even smaller, the size of her forearm maybe, crawling on six shorter, also spider like legs. The most noticeable feature were those three long appendages, like antenna or tendrils. Two on one end of the creature, one at the other. It was impossible to make out which side was front and which behind, a fact that strangely amused Jessica. How did these things even find their way? She couldn't see eyes. Most likely those appendages served as some kind of sense organ she speculated. Okay, no time for scientific analyses, you can think about that once you got out of here. Jessica reminded herself.

Late Jessica noticed one of the little creatures climbing up the caves wall right next to her. Once she saw it, Jessica tried to move away from it as far as she could. She had never been afraid from spiders, still, a creature that size so close to her where she was utterly helpless wasn't really comforting.

"Leave me alone." She hissed, already knowing that it was useless to even try to speak with these things.

Once it was at a level with her face, one of the beasts tendrils started moving, soon swaying in front of Jessica's face. Was it trying to learn more about her? If this thing was really a kind of sense organ, that would be an explanation ? one not too frightening even. Before she could react, a thick, green vapor shot from the tendril. She moved her head back not to inhale it, but still, the same smell she had noticed earlier started to fill her nose, only a hundred times intensified now.

"No, what-" Jessica tried to protest, but within no time, she felt dizzy and confused. The room around her seemed to become blurred. Her fingertips and toes started to tingle. It didn't feel uncomfortable, quite contrary. Jessica shook her head, trying to get rid of the feeling, but it didn't work, her mind started to cloud quickly and there was nothing she could do. Only a few seconds later and she was hanging in her bounds helplessly. It wasn't that she had lost her strength, it was more as if she had lost the will to fight, there was still a voice in the back of her mind that told her she was in danger, but that voice failed to reach her, all she wanted right now was just to remain where she was and to stay docile and receptive.

The bound woman mumbled something inaudible, as the creature next to her flexed and moved, crawling onto her body, it's long legs wrapping around her waist and chest, so that it's lower body came to rest on her abdomen, the rest of it on her chest, finding space between her breasts, it's head just inches from her neck. Jessica felt that alien thing on her skin but she failed to really worry about it. She knew that this wasn't right, that she should fight it, but then again, she lagged any power to struggle. For a moment, the creature kept still and a part of Jessica's mind was wondering what would happen next, while the rest remained in it's docile state. Then, she felt something moving and shifting on the creatures abdomen. It was too low for her to see, not that she made any effort to look down, she simply stood there, bound to the wall and waited until some slick, long appendage protruded from the creature, snaking down her lower abdomen. A shudder ran through her, what was that? Soon, a second, even longer tendril crept over her skin, leaving a tingling sensation wherever it touched.

Then, it all went very fast, out of her viewing range, the things began to vibrate and rise up, then moving with incredible speed. The first one penetrated into her sex, slithering in easily due to it's natural lubricate. The second slipped around her hips, snaking between her butt cheeks and into her vulnerable anus. Jessica's eyes grew wide. She had never had anal sex, she was surprised that this thing went in so fast and easy. There was little more she could think, when suddenly a sharp sting in her back, right at the end of her spine made her whimper. The pain faded really quickly, as the feeling of calmness intensified. Her body shuddered, but she felt as if the movement hadn't come from her own nervous system. What was happening? A pleasant sensation began to spread from her sex and anus, spreading through her body like the warmth of a bath, washing away her last remaining doubts. The tendrils in her body weren't moving, but vibrating and pulsing at a low pace, the effect upon Jessica being immediate. Her breathing accelerated and her nipple grew erect.

"I'm here, bound at a cave wall on some remote planet, an alien sitting on me and fucking both my holes." It crossed Jessica's clouded mind: "And I'm loving it." Closing her eyes, she concentrated on the wonderful sensations the alien caused her to feel as she felt something slick and wet brushing against her lips. Not opening her eyes, she parted her lips to let the third tendril in, soon suckling on it. It tasted delicious. And while she still felt unable, no unwilling to move, the tiny amounts of sap that tendril released caused her to also feel refreshed and strong again.

For a long while, Jessica guessed it was hours and not minutes, she simply hung there, bathed in the pleasure the tendrils in her orifices caused her to feel, totally giving in to it's dominance. Then, she felt something else. A weak tickling, starting at the base of her spine, slowly rising up through her. It was warm and pleasant and wonderful and it spread in rhythm with the pulsing in her ass. Somehow she knew that the creature was growing it's fibers through her nervous system. The thought thrilled her as she started to suck more determined at the rod in her mouth. As she felt it grow and expend further, she let out a sigh around the appendage in her mouth, she could be like this forever, but she wished for this thing to finally reach her brain, to get into contact with her mind, regardless what this would mean.

Finally, there was a faint voice. It took her a moment to realize that it wasn't a sound she heard in this underground nest, it was something in her mind. The voice became stronger. It wasn't talking in words to her, no the connection was deeper, stronger, avoiding the detour of the spoken word and directly transmitting it's will into her mind. It was the hive. The will of the swarm. Brought to her through the creature sitting on her, reforming, altering her body and mind. Body and mind, Jessica repeated, still sucking. The pleasure she felt became almost unbearable and sweat formed on her pale skin. It wanted to enter her mind, her will, to learn from her and make her into something else. Jessica didn't need to think for long. The pleasure was just too good, she didn't want to miss it. Willingly, she opened her mind and was rewarded by her first orgasm, barely noticeable from the outside, as she trembled in her climax.

As the hive entered her mind, she learned more. All the creatures she had seen, and so many more were part of one will, one mind. Old and immortal. And it wanted her to become part of it ? demanded her to become part of it. Another orgasm washed over her as she realized ? and accepted that this was inevitable.

She would be part of the hive. The first alien creature taken in by it, changed and enhanced to serve it's will. Soon,the hive learned from her alien mind. The concept of speech was new to it and it realized hat it's newest acquisition was trained to react and think in words and sentences. Soon, keeping the woman in a state of arousal, it learned to communicate with her though this new concept: "I am the hive, you will join us."

"I will join you." Jessica repeated in her mind, her body tensing and then shaking as she experienced another orgasm, her body convulsing around the tendrils.

"We will alter and adjust you to serve us."

"I will serve you." A whimper could be heard even though the tendril was still in her mouth.

"You will serve, you will be our slave."

"Slave-" Something withing Jessica struggled with this thought. Slave, was she a slave?

"You are our slave, you serve and you will be rewarded." the tendrils in her ass and pussy pulsed faster now, she moaned.

"Serve, I ? I will serve."

"You are our slave."

"I am your slave." Jessica formed the thought and immediately was rewarded with another mind-blowing orgasm.

"Obedience is pleasure." The hive mind echoed through her brain while she was still trembling from her latest climax.

"Obedience is pleasure."

"You will obey."

"I will obey." She didn't knew how many times she had climaxed, but the hive rewarded her for her obedience.

Hours passed, hours that were filled with pleasure and the inevitable voice of the hive. Jessica knew now that she was a slave, that she would serve the hive. Whatever the will of the hive was, she would obey. Eagerly, she sucked on the tendril in her mouth, knowing that it would make her stronger and alter her mind to the hives will. She could already hear the voices of the hive members around her. Warriors, breeders, weavers. All obedient slaves to the hive like herself. Separately, none of them was as intelligent as she was, but combined, they formed the powerful hive mind and she, adding her human brain, would serve to make it better.

Her body was covered with sweat, she was panting deep and slow, as the hive made her part of itself, made her new and better. She had learned so much, everything the hive had known and willingly she had opened her mind and memory to add it to it's knowledge. Hundreds of voices were in her mind, voices of every hive slave that roamed this caves. They were all so obedient, so purposeful, their voices forming a lovely chorus in her mind. Her antenna twitched as she let her own thoughts flow into the hive. Antenna? Yes, the hive had grown her a pair of antenna on her forehead, enabling her to communicate without the need to speak. The thought that she had been altered to serve better thrilled her and it made her shiver in pleasure, a pleasure only intensified by the tendrils still filling her orifices.

Finally, one of the weavers approached her again. It was actually the one that had bound her to the wall hours ago. Hours that seemed like an eternity now, she had become a new creature since then. Her fears were gone, replaced by pleasure, obedience and even loving care for those creatures around her.

A soft whimper escaped Jessica as the creature on her chest, a modifier she knew now, detached it's tendrils from her, leaving her strangely empty. Quickly, it crawled off of her and went back into the opposing corner of the cave. The weaver then went to work. It's small, sharp teeth cutting through her restrains, freeing Jessica, no slave-jessica by now. She would obey the hives orders that were poured into her brain as she made a few steps forward, rubbing her wrists. She needed to be strong, healthy, she was to move to one of the feeding chambers.

The once human turned and walked intuitively towards another exit of the transformation chamber. Through her link to the other slaves, all of them native hive drones, she knew where she needed to go. Her hips swaying, she continued her path through the adjusting corridor. The humid air did little to dry the sweat still covering her silken skin but Jessica didn't care. It felt nice to walk around nude, it felt natural and right. Even more, every time a slave that passed her by, being it worker, soldier, weaver, breeder, she felt sexy and obedient, showing herself to it, showing the body the hive had wanted and had gotten.

The underground nest was a labyrinth but slave-jessica found her way like she had been born and raised here. And in a way, that was the case. Realization made her shiver in delight. Finally, she reached another big chamber. She knew that this was just one out of a couple of such chambers. It was created out of the same stone the whole nest was made off, but the walls and the ground looked strangely eroded, porous. As she stepped deeper into the chamber, a thick gel like substance covered the ground and on every jut and bulge she saw thick fungi like organisms growing. Some workers were busy between them and Jessica knew that these organisms served as food for the hive. She didn't feel their presence, they weren't connected, not part of the hive, though they were once created from it. That being the case, they adjusted and changed to serve any hive member as the source of food they needed for their specific metabolism.

She stepped further into the cave, stroking over one of the fungus. It's surface was smooth, slick, covered with some goo, but it felt firm underneath. Was she mend to eat it? But the hive told her otherwise. She stepped even deeper into the cave, noticing some movement in the corner of her eye. Some of the fungus were moving, shifting. The hive told her that they had the ability to sense any hive-slave and provide them not only with the right food, but also with an adequate form to deliver it. Soon, two of the fungi had grown in size, slithering towards Jessica. She looked at them, her hearth-beat accelerating. She was a new form of hive slave and she wasn't entirely sure how they would feed her. Still, her mind still clouded with the afterglow of her transformation, she had a good guess as the long flexible fungi now touched her feet, slithering up, leaving a trail of sticky sap on her skin. They curled and wound their way up, immobilizing her in a playful, yet firm bondage. More tendril like fungi appeared, grabbing her around her slender waist and she happily took hold of one that found it's way to her wrist. Was she holding onto it or was it binding her? It didn't matter. Gently rubbing the thick, wet appendage in her hand, it almost looked and felt like a male organ. But it was even better. Long, flexible, alien and servant of the hive. One more tendril wound around her neck, gently, almost like a lover, then Jessica gasped as she felt something touching her sex. She didn't bother to look down,she knew what it was. The fungus was rubbing against her swollen sex, making her moan in desire. Finally, two more tendrils showed up, they having different, almost feather or brush like tips, gently stroking over her nipples,adding to her arousal, before one of them worked it's way up towards her mouth. Having it so close in front of her face, Jessica opened her lips to let it enter her. Again, her sounds were muffled as she started to suck and lick at the soft ending of the tendril, tasting the wonderful sweet, yet hearty flavor of the sap it secreted. Her reward, her nourishment. She needed to feast to be strong and healthy so that she could be an even better slave. Not that she needed any invitation, the sap tasted so wonderful.

Moments later, Jessica started to move her hips back and forth, matching the tendrils pace that rubbed between her legs. She wanted it to enter her, but then again, she knew that like this, it would bring her to climax as well. So she gave in, sucked and gyrated her hips, knowing that some of the other hive slaves were watching.

If the guys at the starbase could see me like this. It shot through her mind. Standing with her legs spread. Sticky, wet, bound by fleshy tendrils sucking and rubbing against her. Her nipples standing erect to the alien attention and her juices mixing with the goo covering the one between her legs.

The warm, tasty sap flowed down her throat and into her stomach and Jessica couldn't stop herself from suckling further, eager to taste more of it. Her hand moved back and forth along the tendril it held, soon coating it with more goo and causing squishing noises. Noises like the ones the fungus between her legs caused as it rubbed back and forth, back and forth, slithering between her labia, it's thick bulbous tip and smooth length rubbing along her sensitive clit, making the woman whimper around the thing in her mouth. It was heaven. She felt helpless but so well taken care and protected in the grips of the feeders. If she still had a will, she would have surrendered now, but as a slave, she was able to enjoy this treatment all the more, not thinking about if it was right or wrong, safe or not, just letting these fungi feed her and make her feel good.

After a couple of minutes, Jessica started to tense. She had come countless times during her transformation, how could she approach another climax already? But then, she didn't feel exhaustion, just pleasure and gratitude towards the hive. The nourishment had refreshed her and her body was reacting to the ministrations all over her body. As the brush like tips of one tendril, covered with the nourishing sap brushed over her exposed nipple, it was too much for Jessica. Moaning into the fungus in her mouth, her body convulsed and shook in pleasure. She came and she came hard, rocking her hips mindlessly against her benefactor, winding and shifting her sweat covered body.

Some moments later, when she finally came down from her peak, the feeder retired with a plopping sound as it slipped free from her full lips, a strain of sticky liquid connected them with it's tip for a moment longer, before it dropped onto her trembling breast. Opening her mouth wide, Jessica's tongue licked over the tip once more, as her hand lovingly, gently stroke one tendril holding her. She felt so wonderfully satisfied, sated but not overfull, sleepy but not exhausted. Gently, the tendrils lowered her down and she soon felt her back in touch with the goo covering the ground, her being surrounded by the smaller fungi all around her.

The gently voices of the hive told her to rest and the tendrils of the feeders held her close like a lover in the night. Sighing happily, she closed her eyes, the gently chatting of her fellow slaves luring her into a deep sleep quickly.
