Chapter Ninety-Six Preparations and Distant Events (Patreon)

Megumi led Melia into the lab she had prepared, equipment was set up, ingredients ready to use. She smiled, “Ready to get started?”

Melia nodded.

“Good, in that case take your station, and I’ll walk you through the process. We might waste a few ingredients seeing as you have never done this before, but don’t worry. None of this is hard to replace.”

Melia returned a wry smile, “Good to know. So where do I start.”

“Measure out about a gallon of pure water then infuse it with your mana, slowly. Don’t go too quickly or you will waste mana. Don’t stop until the water starts to glow.”

Melia grabbed a large beaker, and started measuring out purified water. Megumi watched her closely, as this was one of the more important steps, creating the base. Intent wasn’t yet needed, that came later. First she needed concentrated mana water upon which to build the potion they needed.

Qiri stepped into Rinara’s office and took a look around. It was a reasonably sized affair with a large desk,  a few comfy looking sofas, a nice looking terminal, and a few decorations on the walls. One wall had an array of photos on it, and Qei quickly picked out one that looked like it might be Rei. Another item she noted was a transparent case with a tail floating suspended in a special jelly. The tail was long with lush, silky-looking fur, even with it dampened by the jelly. The fur was the same shade of black as Rei’s fur in fact.

Rinara set the ears she had taken from Rei down on the desk, and then said, “Yep, that is indeed little Rei’s tail. Quite gorgeous don’t you agree?”

Qiri nodded, “It does look gorgeous.”

Rinara smiled, then pointed at the photos on the wall, “I have a photo of her taken the day she arrived over there. I hadn’t yet worked on her appearance then, but you can tell she would have been popular. Now she is going to be even more so. Once I let her out of the lab that is.”

Opuri said, “What are your plans for her anyway?”

“I have quite a list of tests lined up for her, actually. Mostly continuing the current line.”

Qiri frowned, “Does that mean you are going to cut her tail off again?”

Rinara nodded, “I will. She is a good subject for testing my regenerative treatments. It will be a bit of a sacrifice for her, but a lot of Neku will benefit from it. So will a number of Iniri, as the treatments I’m working on can be applied to both species.”

Qiri blinked, “They will?”

Rinara smiled, “Yep. We do what we can to prevent it, but a lot of people suffer injuries including loss of limb, especially on the battlefield. These people are the ones that benefit the most from what I am doing to Rei. My treatments mean those poor Neku won’t have to suffer with a missing tail, or arm. With these treatments, lost limbs will grow back. In addition, Iniri mistresses will have a lot of customization options for their favorite Neku. It's a win for everyone.”

“Except maybe Rei.”

“Perhaps, that is true from a certain point of view, but she is getting an entirely new look out of this. She is starting to look so precious now. Those new boobs look delightful on her tiny frame don’t you think?”

“I guess?” responded Qiri, but she couldn’t help, but think about the fact that her ears had been clipped, and that her tail was amputated. A perfectly good tail no less, and she was going to have that done to her again.

“On a different note, she seemed to enjoy you being present. It would be lovely if you could attend her next amputation.”

“Her, um, tail right?”

“No her arm,” she said with a look and then laughed, “Of course it’s her tail, silly. I’m going to keep that off, in fact, until my treatments are optimized to my satisfaction.”

“I see,” replied Qiri. With somewhat mixed feelings about this. She could see why the girl was taken from her mother. There was no way a mother would have approved of this being done to her little girl. She glanced to Opuri, who sent her reassuring vibes.

Elsewhere a drone surveyed a room as it hovered cloaked. Megumi had tasked it with locating an access point for the local databanks. So far it hadn’t had any luck, and only recently entered this lab. It was one of a small number of such drones. They had replicated where they could, but they couldn’t replicate too much without alerting the subjects.

Its sensors quickly registered the occupants. A younger Neku girl was strapped to a table. Several strange devices were hooked up to her body. From the look of it, several of them were monitors. There were a few other devices hooked up to her body. One of them was attached to her head, and included two needle-like projections piercing her temples. Another notable device was attached to her small breasts, needle-like protrusions pierced the base of each boob, and a second ring of protrusions was piercing the base of the nipples.

Her belly was also heavily swollen with young. A litter from the looks of things. Another device had been inserted into her vagina. A scan revealed it went all the way into her womb, and was connected to all the muscles and nerves there. The configuration seemed to indicate it was being used to provide direct control over her reproductive organs.

The drone noted that down, as an Iniri checked a monitor. The Iniri the drone had followed into the room soon inquired of the scientists on station, “How is the little lady doing?”

“Better, stress levels have fallen a little. The injections seem to be helping,”

“Good, I was beginning to worry we might have been too ambitious with this litter. Care to update me on how her latest pregnancy is progressing?”

“Little change from the last check in. All six of the Neku are developing nicely, the Iniri girl we added to her womb is developing even better. This supports the data of the last three pregnancies with this subject.”

“Perfect, and she remains on schedule for the birth, yes?”

“Yep, they are healthy and well developed. She can give birth to them now if you wanted?”

“I don’t. Keep the birth scheduled for next week. Now, as for the other item, are her boobs ready for today’s experiment?”

“They are. Preparation went well, and she is not producing any milk despite the late stage of her pregnancy. Just as you wanted. I’ve got her boobs hooked up, and ready. As per your instructions, her consciousness has also been suppressed. Although I am not sure why?”

“Because I expect the procedure to be quite painful for her. I want to be able to monitor the pain readings as they come in, there is no reason for her to experience the pain. I’m not Rinara, if you know what I mean.”

The drone focused several sensors on the experiment going on, while it approached a bank of terminals against the rear wall. A cloaked tendril reached forth, and it plugged in. Quickly beginning to scan the local access point. Its rear sensors recorded the experiment going on with the young Neku girl’s boobs.

Several vials filled with a light purple fluid were attached to the device encapsulating her small breasts. A button was depressed, and the fluid rushed into her boobs, eliciting a gasp from the subject. Who, while technically unconscious, was still fully capable of feeling everything they were doing to her. Her nipples quickly hardened and turned a dark purple as the boob started to swell. The skin pressing tightly against the device, and also turning a shade of purple.

The boobs easily doubled in size over the course of the next few minutes, and the color shifted back to something more normal after a few minutes. Moments after normalizing in appearance, white fluid began to seep out of the nipples. It resembled milk but the fluid was clearly quite thick as it flowed slowly.

The two Iniri were at the moment loading a second round of vials, which were promptly injected directly into the lactating boob. It looked to be the same fluid as before, and the response was quite the same, as the boobs darkened again, and began to swell. Straining even more against the alien device securely encasing them. They were starting to look quite large on her frame, and the milk flow leaking from her increased even as the milk seemed to thicken further.

“Okay that seems to be our target. Begin the stimulation sequence,” said the lead Iniri. The other complied.

The device began to emit a series of pulses, each one eliciting a strong reaction from the subject. Within moments, the flow leaking from her breasts began to increase. With each pulse that flow seemed to get faster. By the time the sequence stopped, the milk was flowing like a river, erupting from her nipples in a steady stream. A new device was promptly attached to her nipples, and the milk was collected. The portion already spilled was cleaned up.

The drone, having finished its scan, turned more focus towards the scene. What it was looking for was not here. It had thoroughly scanned all the data available to these consoles. They were not linked to the rest of the station, and they did have some interesting data on them. Nothing that it needed however. The drone needed the classified archives, not what experiments were being done on young girls here.

The two Iniri seemed to be testing the subject’s milk. “She definitely responded nicely to the treatment. Milk flow improved dramatically compared to what it was before we suppressed her milk flow.”

“Agreed, the milk thickened up nicely too. How are its properties looking?”

“In line with what the market requested. We will need to test this on a few more subjects, and see if it remains consistent. If it does. I think the market will have a nice trick to improve production in the girls they are milking.”

“Agreed,” said the other.

The drone noted their conversation and filed it away. It didn’t seem important, but perhaps Megumi would be interested in the incident. For the drone, it matters not. At the moment however it needed to wait for someone to open the door.

“On a different note, how stressed are the young lady’s boobs?”

“Quite stressed, two doses seems to be the limit of what they can take, as we expected. Would you like to give her a third dose to be certain?”

“Not right now, we can do that with a subject whose boobs are a little more expendable. I have plans for this pair. So we will give her boobs time to rest before the next experiment. In the meantime, go ahead and wake her up.”

The Iniri assistant sighed, muttering under her breath, “Aw, I was hoping to see her little boobies die.”

The other Iniri smacked her on the head.

“Ouch!” she glared, “What was that for!?”

“Boobs are precious, if you want to kill a body part, go experiment on a few boys. Their penis’s dying to an experiment isn’t even a loss. It’s a bonus. Got that!?”

She nodded, and in a smaller voice muttered, “But we can grow them back, and the reactions of these young girls when their boobies die are so precious.”

The drone marked that one. She would have to be watched, extra close. It seemed the assistant had certain tendencies. Undesirable ones at that.

Despite her feelings on the matter, the assistant did obey instructions and manipulated the controls of a console. Almost instantly, the device responded. The protrusions piercing into her brain slowly retracted, and as they did so her neural activity started returning to normal. A process aided by several stimulating pulses sent into her brain.

It took the girl a minute or two to wake up. For a moment or two she just stared up at the ceiling, clearly taking a moment to get her bearings. The young girl shifted, and spoke, “My boobs hurt.”

The scientist leaned over her with a smile, “Of course they do sweetie. I was experimenting on them. I expect them to be quite tender for a while.”

The girl frowned, “You were?”

“I was!”

She pouted, “I can’t believe I missed that. Are you going to experiment on them again?”

“Sure am, but your boobs need to rest. Tell me when they stop feeling tender.”

She smiled, “I will! Just can I be awake next time?”

The scientist shrugged, “Sure, but just so you know I expect the next one to hurt, quite a bit. I’ll give you something to help.”

“Yay!”

The drone mostly ignored what was going on after this. It continued to record it, but by this point it was obvious that nothing here was relevant to its goal.

A couple of hours later, the drone slipped into a new room. It was still following the same scientist from earlier. The little girl she had been experimenting on had been dropped off in a bedroom, one she clearly shared with four other girls. The room was modest with four beds. Each bed had its own trunk, and there was a table in the middle of the room. On shelves under the table were a number of group games. It seemed to be a fairly cozy set up where they could rest, and relax. The young girl wasn’t alone when she was dropped off either. Another girl, belly swollen with young, was lounging on one of the beds. While enjoying a book.

Nothing of real note. The drone scanned the new room. It was an office with a nice desk, and a computer terminal dominating the room. Perhaps this time it would have some luck with an access? First however, it would have to wait for a chance to use the terminal unnoticed. A chance that came soon enough.

As it turned out the scientist spent only a few minutes transferring her notes to the terminal before departing. Locking the door behind her, but leaving the drone alone in her office. Alone, with an active terminal.

It moved towards the terminal, and extended a tendril. Quickly establishing a connection. Within seconds it was scanning the database, and soon found that it had access to a massive database. This was what it was looking for! In fact it quickly discovered it had found far more than it had been tasked to find. The drone quickly began processing and copying the treasure trove. Sending the data back to Megumi.
