I awoke in a container and looking up I saw a light. It was extremely bright and hurt so much as to glace at caused nothing but pain for my optical senses. I did my best to move my limbs to hide from the light; I was semi-successful. Then I heard a voice I couldn't decide what the sex was but I understood what was said, "the subject is ready for implantation bring in the host."
Then I heard a hiss of something opening followed by groaning. Then I heard another voice that was…feminine; it said, "Wa, where am I? Why am I in restraints."
Then I heard another voice speak it too was ambiguous as to its sex, it said, "You will be playing host to vital research in the service of humanity convict F-457-S-5."
Then the light dimed to where I could tolerate it; yet the light was still present. The potential host then spoke this time with fear, "Why did you turn off the lights." I moved to get out of the container and once out I looked around. The chamber was empty but for a host in some kind of apparatus, that held the potential host in place. I moved to inspect the host. The potential host spoke again but this time with absolute fear, "somethings in here; please let me go I'll be a good girl." The ambiguous then replied, "Oh, it's far too late to be a good girl."
When I finished my inspection I found they would suffice for what I was carrying. Then I found myself being directed down from where I knew I should implant what I was carrying. But I did as instructed for it wasn't my place to dictate where to implant what I was carrying.
Moving down I was directed to a place that appeared inaccessible due to an obstruction. I was then instructed on how to access what I needed to do and to fulfill my sole task. I slid the end of my tail between a part of the obstruction and the flesh of the host and jerking up part of the obstruction broke; yet the obstruction remained. The host then shouted with fear, "Please, I don't want to die, ple-e-ese." This was followed by heavy crying before it all stopped. I ignored this and continued with what I was instructed to do. I was then instructed to do the same thing but on the other side. I did as instructed and the obstruction truly went slack. Then I was instructed to use the end of my tail to remove the now-former obstruction. Upon its removal, I found a thin slit between the hosts' method of transversal and above it a small patch of course hairs.
I was then instructed to place myself flush against the slit and to wrap my tail around the host. Once that was done, I was instructed to insert my proboscis and begin the implantation of what I was carrying. Once done I was instructed to remove myself from the host and to protect them till what I was carrying emerged from the host.
I set about patrolling the chamber for anything that may emerge to threaten the host and by extension what I was carrying.
Time passed and I had yet to encounter any threats. It was when I was about to complete another round of my patrol route did, I detected a change. I heard several clanks; turning to where they came from, I found the host no longer restrained. Before I moved to check on what I implanted I detected something. It was like the host but not alive, and yet it was. It carried a limp of material and then pointed at me. Feeling it was hostile I moved to kill this thing.
Then I heard several loud explosions and felt things strike the ground near me. I took cover behind the container that held me then I detected another being enter the chamber and another, eventually there were a total of five beings including the non-living thing. The non-living thing kept watch on my location while the other living things went to take the host. I wouldn't allow this; I wouldn't allow the host to be taken from my care and so on.
I rushed the not-living thing. Moving from side to side and a long jump and using my tail I removed the head and some stabbed to the torso I killed the not living thing. After that, I moved to deal with the living things who were about to take the host. They ran from me and let out sounds of fear; this I ignored. They eventually returned to where they emerged from. I stopped short of the frame I then proceeded to stare them down before deciding that they weren't a danger to the host and by extension what I was now protecting.
Looking up I found that the bright light had returned. I couldn't allow another incursion like what happened to occur again; so I moved to destroy the bright lights and then went to check on the host and what I implanted into it and was now protecting.
They appear to have moved the host onto a new surface which also acted to restrain the host who appeared to be swelling with my charge. Finding nothing wrong with the host, and what I found pleasing I returned to my patrolling.
After more time passed and I completed yet another patrol I found myself being directed to move closer to the host and to guard it closely. I did as instructed then I detected something. It was a sense at the edge of my awareness. I focused on it and found myself being directed to the host. Turning I found that the lower torso of the host had swelled to a great size I was then directed to slash the host's restraints on the method of transversal. I did as instructed then the host engaged in an auditory attack. Yet I was instructed not to attack but rather collect that which would emerge from the host's slit and move to the darkest location I had found.
I did as instructed and I placed myself beneath the host's slit and after enduring several more auditory attacks I collected that which emerged and moved to the darkest location I had found. As I reached the location, I lost strength but I pushed myself on. For, I had a task to complete and I would not fail. When I reached the location, I collapsed before I heard a gentle, feminine voice softly yet soothingly say, "Well, done my protector now rest for your final duty is complete. You may now rest forever more." And with that, I fell and found myself at peace knowing I completed my final task and fulfilled my purpose.
When I emerged from my host and landed on my guardian, I was moved to a location that was as dark as it could be. Then I sensed that my guardian was dying. So, I told it to rest and that its last duty had been fulfilled; then it went still and silent. I then felt hungry and I couldn't find any food so I went with what I could find that being the remains of my guardian. As I ate, I tasted the acidic blood which was quite mild in how corrosive it was. Nevertheless, I ate and when I finished there was a minor corrosion divot in the ground. I settled into this divot and rested.
When I next awoke, I saw something moving that appeared like my host but wasn't alive I hissed at it, but it didn't go away and I was captured I then swung my tail at the appendage that held me and it fell off. I then swarmed free of it and attacked the not living thing. I slashed and stabbed it with my tail until finally I cut off its head and the not living thing fell motionless. I then inspected it to make sure it was dead and found that it was. Now feeling hungry, I looked for anything I could eat but found nothing but another like the thing that I slew.
Feeling my hunger growing I consumed the non-living thing I slew and I found myself growing and becoming larger and I began to change. I grew to be at the optical level of my host, I gained the transversal method of my host, with my body reaching the same size as my host, and gaining six limbs with each sharing the same means of taking hold of what I wanted to hold with each one ending in a further six smaller limbs that moved inward to surround and hold what I wanted to hold, as for my tail it grew to be even longer than my body and thinner too; and yet I knew I had yet to reach my full size.
I did my own exploration of my prison for that is the only thing that this chamber could be. As I explored, I began to see escape routes yet I knew I was being watched and to I eventually found a spot in the darkest corner I could find and laid down and didn't move.
I laid in that spot and eventually, my jailers sent in a force of six of the not living things all carrying devices that made sound and released an unseen force, and following them were living things. I remained where I was and simply watched them do something to my host. After they did what they needed to they left with my host then they were followed by the non-living things. I didn't move from my spot and I eventually just fell into a rest.
When I awoke, I couldn't sense anything watching me unseen and so I set about working on my escape route. I found a spot in my prison that had slits in it and air flowed through it. Wanting to escape this prison chamber I placed the end of my tail at the highest slit and moved it downward. My tail cleanly cut through each slit and stripe of material till it reached the lowest slit. I then used the ends of my limbs to bend each of the stripes of material in and then out several times before each of them finally broke off. I repeated this until my path was no longer barred. With my path clear I entered the small corridor and began to search for an exit.
As I moved through each corridor, I made discoveries about where I was. I found areas with many hosts that had only one or two obstructions covering themselves, one that was very warm, one that held more hosts, and even one that held food and hosts. However, that one I would return to later right now I needed to find a place to both hide from my would-be jailers and to settle and build a structure to establish a home for myself and others. As I moved, I eventually found a larger corridor that was empty and dark. Finding this to be promising I exited the smaller corridor and began exploring this new, larger path.
As I explored, I eventually found a large chamber I could use to establish myself and so I started my task. Using my saliva and secretions I began work on a tube that had an opening on the lower section near the ground. I eventually reached the top of the chamber from there I expanded outward. I eventually had to stop and construct three pillars but I knew that I'd have plenty of room on the inside. As I worked, I also made other chambers within my home. I was unsure as to what I'd do with them but I'd find a use for them eventually. It was when I finished what I would deem my private chamber did I stop the construction of additional chambers and shifted to the construction of a surface I could rest on.
I began work on a surface that would be large enough to hold myself at my full size but also any that I would want to rest with. When I finished my task I got on the soft surface, got myself comfortable, laid down, and fell into rest.
a/n: this a spontaneous idea I had after watching some gameplay of aliens: colonial marines, fire team, and dark descent; as well as a couple of videos on the different types of xenomorphs both Conan and others. As for the story, it's a mixed bag of game xenomorphs and two alien CYOAs. Please leave a review.
