Community Collab: The Science of Aura

by Your Loyal Reader2

This story will be entirely community driven, as an experiment. This is how this works - submit to me through the DocX system a chapter that you think should be added to this saga. I will add said chapter, as it is, and give the submitter full credit. If there are multiple vying for the same spot, then I will choose one of them. Rules: Limit vulgarity, no sexuality. Have Fun!

Hey there, people! I wanted to try something new with you guys. I am doing a community collab with everybody! That means that I will give you the setup, here. Then, anyone who wishes to add a chapter, use the DocX share system in place to send me your writing, and I will decide on which to upload. Don't worry, all credits will be given. Thank you,

I woke up inside a metal tube, frosted glass in front of me, obscuring my vision. It was cold, so cold. My bare skin was pressed up against the freezing metal, as I was only in my underclothes. I heard voices coming from the other side of the glass.

"CAN ANYONE HEAR ME?" I screamed. The voices stopped. A deep one mutters, and there was a hiss. The glass lifted up, and the lights blinded me.

"Miss? Do you feel… different?" the voice was reedy, high-pitched.

"What are you talking about? Different? Why the Hell am I in my undies, pervert!" He laughed, and more laughter rang out from somewhere else.

"Stronger? Smarter? Psychic? You tell me. You're the one in the pod." As the light dimmed, I saw I was in a rocky pit, about 30 meters high, smooth sided. There was a window high up across from me, brightly lit, with a lot of figures inside. The figure in front of me was a thin, weedy, pathetically slouching man in a lab coat.

"Who the f*ck are you people, I don't remember signing up for some porn video!" I yell. The man guffawed, a strange, hollow sound, and so do his companions in the room above.

He says, "Ma'am, this was no porn shoot. We, err, modified your -Ack!" he cries out as all of his muscles locked at once. He takes a breath after they release. "The… effects are still to come." He picks something off of the floor. "Here, you need to wear this." He hands me a sky-blue jumpsuit.

After putting it on I decide to say something stupid- "Is this Aperture Laboratories?" The doctor? Professor? He chuckles, a quite annoying sound, and says,

"No no, w-AH, AH, AH!" he says before his arms lock up and his left leg begins to twitch. Another hiss, this time from the side of the pit of the window. A figure stood in the shadows of the dark hallway and said,

"Enough, Doctor. She is now under my jurisdiction." His voice is deep, cold, melodious, and precise. The doctor nods, and scampers off, into the hallway. Next, steps out the figure that chased him off. What a specimen. He wore black combat boots, deep navy slacks, a black shirt, and this almost-black blue trench coat. He had a gun belt with some massive hand cannon, several knife scabbards, and an attachment point for something larger. His skin was a deep tan, his jaw was a solid wall, his cheekbones low, his eyes-oh, his eyes! They were a deepest, darkest stormy blue. His short hair was a deep, glossy black, well combed. The man wore black gloves with some intricate golden design weaving across the surface. He held himself high, back straight, giving everything an analytical glare, like an experienced soldier staring down his enemy.

I tried to retain my normal smart-ass stance. "Thanks for getting rid of that annoying scientist. Now, how about some lunch? I'm starving." The soldier said in that amazing voice,

"Ma'am, there will be time for that later. For now, follow me to your quarters." He spun his heel and walked back into the hallway. "You will not want to remain here. They flood this pit with a toxic substance to kill anything organic remaining." He faded into the shadows of the dark hallway. I raced after him.
