Raven looked over Vitaly's caged pod with concern. After waiting a day to see if there was a delay to the hatching, Raven and the Matriarch had the pod pulled out and locked in a stasis cage. They didn't turn the cage on, just kept it sealed as it acted as a faraday cage. It kept it closed from the rest of the pseudo hive mind that the latex produced.

She had been in the pod for more than 3 months. The first time that something like this had ever happened and they didn't have a protocol for doing so. The only explanation that Raven could come up with was that due to Vitaly's mind, her will was stronger than normal. But it could be something else that the scientist hadn't considered. Either way, she had to find out why.

She walked around the cage, reading the information which looked normal. Brainwaves, vitals, heat and other factors were all normal for being corrupted, so what was going on? Rubbing her hand though her hair, her mind trying to find the answer. Nothing coming forth. Maybe she needed a good fuck to get her mind working. The thought made her shiver with pleasure. A shiver… her mind then turned back to the pad and zoomed in on the brainwaves.

There it was, there as a small but noticeable pattern of small waves. One's that she wasn't familiar with, but enough to notice the effect. It effects the brain's EM band which prevented the mind from being corrupted. Stroking her chin, she considered the look of the pattern. There was something about it that seemed off, it was too regular, too uniform… it wasn't natural.

An implant inside her brain was preventing the corruption from being fulfilled. Raven smiled as now she could counter this.

OOOOO

Motoko Kusanagi moaned as she woke to find herself in a chamber covered in latex. With a soft moan, she sat and looked at herself, the grey and purple latex shining off of the light above her. She didn't feel any tightness, but she did feel her limbs in a way that she hadn't felt before. Moving them around, something about them feeling weird. That's when her hand made a 360-degree turn. She blinked at the surprise revelation before trying it again with the same result, then the same with her other hand.

Moving to the rest of her limbs, she found out that she could move all of her limbs in a similar way. After a moment's thought she took her left hand and pulled it off. There was no pain, no blood, no disconnect. She could operate her hand like normal despite not being attached to her body. It was a little creepy, but it seemed to be similar to her old body. Not robotic, but still having the same 'features' as one. But this also brought up another question, could she replace them?

The question was moot as a latex clad scientist walked in and indicated for to follow. After meeting the Matriarch and getting an understanding of the Labyrinth, she entered looking forward to pleasing her mistress. Her senses have been extended thanks to the latex covering her body. Sensing a group of people in the next chamber, she decided to see how her abilities worked.

Pulling her hand off, she watched as spikes began to form on the fingertips. With a smile, she set it down and moved it ahead of her and into the next room. But she made sure not to have it move along the floor so that it could be spotted. She had it crawl across the ceiling so that it couldn't. As an added bonus, her senses seemed to extend with the disconnected limb. She wasn't able to 'see' per sae, but she was able to detect people though the infrared and heat spectrums. This allowed her to 'see' in a way.

There were 5 people in the room. 3 male, 2 female. All of them with blaster rifles, she needed to plan this carefully. Blaster rifles could be set to stun, which she could use if she moved in fast. Before she could do so, a thought came to mind and she moved her hand over one of the women and let it drop. It landed on the former pirate who yelled out in panic and tried to get it off. But the hand excreted some kind of sticky substance keeping it on her.

The major moved the hand to the back of the woman's neck. An injector spike came out and with one quick move, it spired the back of her neck. Liquid latex filled the woman making he roan freaking the others out as they backed up with blasters raised. Kusanagi felt herself begin to take over the woman's body as the latex infected her body.

To test this, she moved the woman's hands and arms with just as much ease as her own. With a smile, she switched the blaster to sun and moved firing at the others in the room. While the woman's body wasn't as fit as Kusanagi's own, it was still fit enough to allow her to avoid the bolts coming at her. She fired the blaster, missing several times, but managed to hit two of the four before she was hit with a stun bolt from one of the male prisoners.

With that, Kusanagi moved out of cover and ran at the closest prisoner and kicked him in the head. Knocking him out. The second tried to take a few shots at her, but her speed was better than her puppet allowing her to swiftly dodge the bolts. She moved in and kicked him in the gut sending him down. With that done, she summoned her hand back and reattached it before picking up a blaster and fired a stun round at the two she took out to ensure that they wouldn't get up anytime soon.

The puppet then stood with a moan as her body turned grey with latex. Kusanagi watched as the woman turned into a phallic-like pillar. It grew a bit more reaching the ceiling and 2 meters wide. Part of it then began to change into purple ovals on five parts of the pillar. This was new, but what was it? Walking up to it, she placed her hand on the oval. It opened up, the insides looked like some kind of printer. Tentacles wriggles on the top while the suffice was somewhat flat but spriggy.

Looking over to the sunned prisoners, an idea formed. Grabbing one of the women, she pulled her up and slid her into the printer. It closed up once the woman was inside. No noise came from it, but after a few moments it opened back up and the woman was 'pushed out'. Other than her face, which was covered with a blank latex mask, she looked just like Kusanagi.

With that in mind the major squatted down and pulled off the drone's arm. It was and wasn't a surprise. She had expected something like this, but didn't expect it to be this easy. As she manipulated the arm, a part under her right arm formed a port for the new appendage. Attaching the arm to the port, a wave of new sensations filled her as she began to manipulate the arm as her own. As smile crawled across her mouth as the possibilities for this ability came to mind.

OOOOO

Vitaly sat cross legged in a bubble, floating as tentacles tried to pierce the bubble. Her eyes closed, focusing on not letting the tentacles through. It wasn't easy as voices whispered in her ears with promises of pleasure and power. Something that she wanted, but by her own hands not by being a slave for a parasite. Focus on ignoring everything around her until she was let go was her best option. This wasn't the first time she had to fight something like this, but this was stronger and took longer than she expected.

"Ahhhh I see now," a familiar voice said and she opened her eyes to Raven approaching through the mass of tentacles. "Very clever, using a brainwave blocker is a good tactic but… this is where it ends,"

At that moment the tentacles cracked open the bubble and grabbed a hold of the scientist. Vitaly screamed as she was pulled out of the bubble while tentacles began to melt her clothing off. The whispers became louder, more encouraging for her to give up. As she closed her eyes to ignore them the tentacles began to explore her body. Their wet, oily and slimy excretions were icky but sent her in heat. Her pussy began to leak juices despite her trying to avoid it.

"Damn you," she muttered. "Now of all times you betray me? Damned body,"

"Yesss, feel the pleasure," Raven said causing Vitaly to open her eyes and see the purple clad scientist in front of her.

The purple clad scientist leaned in and licked her neck. Vitaly almost screamed as she saw Raven's tongue. It extended longer than it should, wrapping around her neck, going to her breasts and reaching her pussy. It wasn't a tongue; it was a tentacle that explored every inch of her body. After a few moments, she retracted her tongue tentacle before turning Vitaly to look at her and extended her tongue into the scientist's mouth.

Vitaly couldn't resist, only moan as the tentacles began to explore her insides. Her mind already beginning to fall to the corruption. She couldn't resist anymore, she couldn't fire anymore, the pleasure was becoming too much.

"Good," Raven's voice echoed from everywhere as tentacles entered all of her orifices.

OOOOO

Raven smiled as she watched as the cage opened, ready for the cocoon to be popped. The Matriarch also smiled, looking forward to seeing what a scientist queen would look like. While Raven was the primary scientist and she had her own cadre of scientists, they had their limits. It was a side effect of the corruption to ensure loyalty to the Queen, to matriarch in this case. It was also the reason why Samus and the others didn't have scientists.

The Matriarch's hive was in command, and that's the way it was going to be. Several warriors pulled the cocoon out of the cage allowing the Matriarch to open it up. Vitaly's new latex form fell out. Her legs seemed to have been fused together with a long white lab coat covering the majority of her body. Segmented tentacles came out of her back, they were twice as long as her body and seemed to be used for both moving and manipulating objects.

Her face was covered in a white mask making her look like a faceless porcelain doll. The only indication of a 'face', was a pair of black ovals for eyes. They gave her a sort of bug like appearance, like hive queen in a way. Upon closer examination, there was no indication of any kind of offensive weaponry. Much like Serivia, she was more geared for support work like being a scientist she was.

She wasn't as impressive, but then again some of the others didn't look impressive until they entered the labyrinth. So, it was likely that she was going to be the same. After getting the new queen onto a flatbed and carried out by ponies, Raven and the Matriarch hung back.

"So, what happened?" The Matriarch asked to which Raven quickly explained. "How common are these blockers?"

"They are rare," Reven explained. "They are illegal as they can cause major brain damage and are complex to make," she shrugged. "The chances of us facing this again are very remote. That said, there could always be a strength of will,"

"So we should still do what we did if it happens again?" the Matriarch asked with a nod from Raven.

"It's for the best," she admitted as a scientist came running in.

"Sorry but, you need to see Clare," she said leading the two out.
