Nanomachines was made with certain ‘intentions’ in mind by their creator, such as experimentation, manipulation, or just general curiosity in those actions. Of course, given these were ‘alien’, humans might not quite understand the motivation in mind. However, even aliens understood the need of a ‘fail safe’.
Sometimes nanites could infect the experimenter… not exactly an ideal situation. Naturally, the nanites would be programmed not to act on the alien DNA as a minimum unless for medical reasons. Though it wasn’t out of the question that such a fail-safe could fail, given the nanites actually ‘changed’ DNA into anything they wanted. As a result, there was a second fail safe…
The nanites would detect responses to find out if the brain was sentient and thus allow the user to gain control of the nanites and (hopefully) remove them if desired. It was simple and effective, hard coded into the system to protect the user.
The ‘infallible’ system of course recognised that the body they were in were sentient beings and so began to seek out an appropriate interface for such an emergency. Though the only system it found were very ‘primitive’ communication devices with barely workable space.
It sought out the most powerful computer it could find in the local area, which no doubt had to belong to an arbiter or senior to deal with the situation, while also creating smaller programs to lease with it. The idea that someone would even do something ‘bad’ to another infected with nanites just didn’t occur to the alien creators.
Jayden was a video gamer.
He played online RPGs long into the night… he tended to neglect his schoolwork as a result. A mix of Asian and Caucasian features with sharp black hair, he was considered weak in the real world. People never made friends with him in the real world and so, he made friends in the online world.
RPGs made sense to him… a perfect system where everything depended on probabilities. He liked that, because it was only a matter of time to ‘win’ anything.
His computer was ‘state of the art’ with a few personal tweaks he had made, after creating his own programs and even his own operating system. It was the leanest, most powerful machine and thus allowed for the fastest responses when doing… anything on the internet.
He never bothered with any anti-virus software because he built his own code so… no virus could really run on it. It took him by surprise that his resources were suddenly stretched well above their usual level… power was being drawn and a program began to run at super high speed.
“What the…” He frowned. Had someone hacked him? “Okay… game on, whoever you are. I can play this game too.” He wanted to see who it was but all that was left was a program. It started to run on its own, and even connected to his mobile phone. It re-wrote code as it went, which made Jayden all he more curious as to what this was…
And he was even more surprised as text flowed in some weird alien language.
“If this is a virus… someone went through a lot of… trouble with it.. hm..” He clicked on the first subject… one line of gibberish with a bunch of options on the side. He clicked on the second box… again, more gibberish with a similar line of text… but with a few characters swapped. “Hm… this must be a game… yes. I have to translate it by guessing what its about…” Someone has sent him a challenge? How… curious. Who would challenge him in his own world like this? Someone he games with? He wanted to win!
Excited, H=he clicked on the third box… this one showed far more lines of text then the other two. There appeared to be some numbers…
He clicked to see an overall picture of the three, which showed a bar above them. Each seemed to show a percentage gauge of various stats, some kind of ‘power bar’ he guessed. “Hm… curious and curious… can I change any of this stuff I wonder…”
He tried a few random clicks to see what he could translate, making careful notes of the symbols and strange language. Eventually he was quite sure he had found the symbol for ‘male’ and ‘female’… which seemed to be the separation of subject one and two…
He clicked a button on the last subject and found it made some of the lines vanish. “Urgh that’s no good… I need to know what they mean… maybe if I try something here… ah.” A few more lines appeared while he clicked on it. There seemed to be a command line underneath too…
He tried to shoot a few commands by copying the text on various parts of the program to see what would happen.
That night Steven hid under her blanket… not wanting anyone to see her tail or… or ‘those’ things on her chest. However, when she woke up that day fearing the worst, she seemed… fine? Well.. almost.
Her breasts were gone… sort of.
Relief…
Though her extra nipples were still there, but it seemed as if her changes had vanished. Well- except for the fact that she was still a girl too! She frowned annoyed that whatever happened had not changed her back completely.
Annoyed she looked in the mirror…
Steven had always been rather slight of size but her appearance was very androgenous now. Silky black hair that was still mostly the same… though her face looked a lot more girlish now. Unfortunately, she still had those weird fox-ears though. That was going to be really hard to hide… and she had the nipples.
Six nipples, running down her torso… quite large ones, but they were relatively flat. She could hide that. “This is crazy!” She thought as her ears twitched above her. She quickly tried to look for a tail… but that too was gone, much to her relief.
She had to get ready for school but… it should be easy enough. She put on a simple hoodie to hide her ears. She knew she had to talk to Kevin as soon as possible.
Kevin was not having quite as easy a day. For some reason, her hair had grown long…
Her normal short blonde hair didn’t just a get ‘a little long’, but really-really ‘really’ long. It was almost Rapunzel-like, flowing down as golden locks of hair trailing down her back and all the way down to the ground, brushing it gently on its full length. She had tried to cut it, but the hair would instantly grow back!
She had most of the hair hidden behind her coat. “Steven!” She called out to her friend. “You… seem normal, are you okay?”
“Seem is the best word... I’ve got freakin’ fox ears on my head!” Steven clenched her fists. She certainly didn’t want to elaborate on the nipples on his body, which were so very itchy. “You okay?”
“My hair grew long…”
“Oh.. well that’s not so bad,” Steven thought looking at that hood.
“We’re also technically girls!” Kevin groaned. “You look kinda… more girly then me though.”
“Hey! It’s just because I’m shorter…anyway where is Jenny?”
Jenny blushed quietly as ‘she’ slowly made her way towards them. “Uh.. hey.” She rubbed her hands. “So… are we up to speed on our changes?” she had her arms crossed annoyed.
“Well… just curious on what happened to you,” Steven admitted.
Jenny gave a sigh. “I really don’t want to talk about it. Though something else happened to me last night too.”
“Oh? What happened?” Kevin looked her over.
She blushed hard. “Well since you’re girls now, I guess I can tell you. My boobs are… bigger. A lot… bigger.”
“What? Let’s see- ow!” Steven was quickly elbowed by Kevin. “Dude!”
“We don’t need to… look something really ‘weird’ is happening to us… we need to figure out what’s happening and why.” The long blonde-haired girl clenched her fists.
