Late After Work Escape - $5 Patreon Exclusive - WIP - 1/2/22 (Patreon)

Keeping his head low, Kren walked down the halls of the building toward the security center, pretending to take notes as he was actually staring at his phone underneath, waiting for further orders. Kren is a young man in his mid-20s with short brown black and unique purple eyes, who had just recently applied to a big research company, one that specialized in memory polymers that can turn any solid or inorganic material functional and malleable. During his first week, Kren even witnessed metal bending and warping on its own when passing by one of the testing rooms. However, one thing he found concerning was the lax safety protocols, the window to the testing room being just ordinary plexiglass, with the lab workers wearing little to no protective gear aside from rubber gloves and eye shields. He couldn’t help but scoff just thinking about it, throwing away any doubts he had about his objective.
On his way to his personal quarters, Kren looked up from his phone just as one of the building’s security bots was walking past him. Even though he was undercover, it was impossible not to shutter as the tall voluptuous figure stepped past him, his eyes drawn to its absurdly attractive and bouncy physique. The security robot was basically a giant bipedal balloon, shaped like a cartoonishly feminine manikin made out of snow-white rubber. It looked rather harmless, almost like a giant inflatable plush, the kind you would hug for comfort. It had wide thighs and legs, large soft pillowy breasts, and a figure to match. These bots were essentially big autonomous blowup dolls, but they seemed more like motherly-looking teddy bears than anything else. This would’ve been the case had it not been for their featureless heads, giving them a slightly intimidating feeling.
Hearing a ping from his phone, he saw that his superiors had sent him a text, one containing a file titled with random numbers. Then, another text followed immediately after that wrote, “Upload to security mainframe and be out by next morning.” As he was reading it, he accidentally bumped into some coworkers, dropping his phone as stumbled past them. He had accidentally walked into two of his fellow seniors, Lian, his superior, and Ui, his fellow assistant. Lian had rounded prescription glasses with brown bangs covering part of his eyes, he was genuinely friendly but a workaholic who always kept on top of his work. He was a natural leader more than most of the higher-ups in the company, making the workspace productive and in high spirits.
Ui, his assistant, was more like a little brother than anything else, almost always seen with him nearby aiding in his work. He was a bit more play full and not nearly as focused as his superior, with unique white hair and a long good-looking ponytail. Lian Looked down at Kren’s phone on the floor, which was still faced up with his last text wide open. Kren went into a silent panic, not sure of what to do as his coworker reached down and grabbed the phone. To his relief, he simply handed the phone back to him with a smile on his face. “Sorry about that.” Lian apologized. Kren breathed a sigh of relief under his breath, closing down his phone as he put it in his pocket. “So funny thing, we were just looking for you.” Ui said from behind Lian. “Oh, is it about the last test we did on the fire-proof silicon? And did they finally agree to put a fire extinguisher in the room?” Kren asked, hoping that they didn’t see the text on his phone.
Ui and Lian just looked at each other, in awkward silence. “Unfortunately, no.” Lian said looking back to Kren “But they said they would think about it.” Ui added looking somewhat hopeful. Then, another lab worker made their way past them, making Ui and Lian nervous as they both went silent until they passed. “Let’s talk about it… on our way back to quarters.” Lien suggested. With that, they all made their way through the halls and to the lab exit. But something was off, both Ui and Lian both look uneasy, as if they were also hiding something. If Kren didn’t know any better, he’d think that his coworkers were undercover like him. Once they were out of the lab, and in the main hall, they went into a corner where they could talk amongst each other.
“So, what do you think of those busty fem balloons that we have patrolling the halls every day?” Ui asked, quickly looking back and forth down the hall to make sure no one was listening. The question took Kren off guard, as with how nervous they seemed prior, he didn’t expect the question to be so casual. The young man thought for a moment before giving his answer. “A little uncanny to be honest, busty or otherwise, I mean the fact that semi-sentient balloons are constantly patrolling the halls makes this job a little terrifying sometimes.” Kren responded crossing his arms. “Well…” Lian stuttered, gently sucking his lips in as if trying to hold back a smile. “Ui and I were thinking of sneaking into the security room tonight so we can, fool around with one of them.” he said. Kren was practically speechless, thinking it was a joke at first.
“I mean it’s such a tease to have these massive busty balloon babes walking up and down the halls with their big ol assets on display. We work so hard doing this company‘s research, it’s only fair that we get to let off some steam, just for a night.” Lian said with an eager look in his eye. Kren couldn’t believe it, but Lian looked sincere. “Are you serious?” he asked, “I heard there an intern that tried to grope one of those balloon bots, and it retaliated by smothering him up against the wall. He even had to go to the hospital.” Lian just chuckled. “Oh that’s a myth… our company doesn’t cover medical insurance.” he explained, breaking eye contact for just a moment, as if he needed a second to contemplate why he was still working here.
“But you’d be correct, these things are programmed to use force against anything it perceives as a hostile action, even just touching one is dangerous.” he said while digging through his pocket. “But, that’s why I whipped up this.” he held up what looked like a kitbashed thumb drive of some sort, but with a port head unique to the company they were working for. “Cool but… what am I looking at?” Kren asked tilting his head. This… is what we’re going to use to get close to one of those balloon babes. It’ll upload a disposable code into one of the security bots and temporarily re-program its behavioural algorithm.” he explained looking rather ecstatic. “So.” Ui followed up. “Instead of attacking and smothering anyone who touches it, it’ll come onto them, turning it into an affectionate sexbot.”
Kren, just stared at the thumb drive with his eyes wide open. “Huh…” he said. Lian then placed his thumb drive back into his pocket. “That is, until the bot shuts down for recharging, then the program will be erased without a trace, covering our tracks. I call it… the airhead.” he chuckled. Looking away and putting his hand on his chin, Kren thought back to the orders he had received only minutes prior, and the embedded code he had received with it. “This could be exactly what I need.” he thought, since he need a way to get into the security room anyway. ”All right, sounds fun, I’ll do it, three is a charm amirite?” Kren nodded. Then, at that moment they all flinched as they heard one of their coworkers walking down the hall. It was one of the female higher-ups, looking a bit uncomfortable and just blankly staring at the floor as she walked past them.
The three young men just stared at each other, looking down the hall we are some of the offices were located. “Hey, isn’t the CEO’s office stationed down that hall?” Kren asked. The other two didn’t say a thing, almost as if they were uncomfortable answering his question. “Does… no one say anything?” he asked. Ui and Lian made a contact with each other in silence, then looked back to Kren. “It’s just…” Ui began to respond, but paused at the last moment. “Anyone who’s ever testified against him… it’s not that no one does anything, it’s just that nothing ever comes of it, except getting blacklisted from the industry.” Lian said. For a moment the hall went silent, as no one knew what else to say. “Eeeeee… anyway let’s discuss the details over text, we can figure out when to meet up in the security station so we’re not caught. “Lian said, trying to put a happy face back on.
With nothing else to say, they started a group chat under mobile devices and made their way back to their quarters. Although a bit bummed, Kren couldn’t help but smile, knowing that his plan was now more justified than ever. Flipping his phone back out, he read the rest of the instructions from his superiors. It read: “The file attached is a virus that will throw the security drones into disarray, they will sabotage all the computers and equipment in the building, but they may also pose a threat to the employees, so so be sure to be out before 6 AM tomorrow. The virus will be active once their firmware updates the next day.” It was genius, the company already had a reputation of having a relatively unsafe work environment, and the resulting virus would simply be the nail in the coffin. “Once my job is done, the only thing that CEO will have clapping on his desks will be lawsuits.” he thought to himself, downloading the file into his device before deleting the text, just in case.
That night, as he was doing his paperwork, he texted back-and-forth with his two coworkers on how to get into the security room. Taking advantage of the situation, he convinced Ui and Lian to allow him to break in first, giving him the passcodes to enter and disable alarms, as the security bots would all activate if all more than one person entered at once. This would allow him to upload the file from his phone to the mainframe before the other two arrived. And since his coworkers were uploading a little virus of their own, it would provide perfect cover for him. So that night, he snuck out of his quarters and back to the lab section of the building. Kren waited patiently until the next couple of balloon bots made their round through the hall, watching their shapely bodies bounce and squeak with every step they made. Letting out a sigh once they were out of sight, he snuck into the door with the passcodes given to him, jumping in quickly as the doors opened for only a split second.
Once he was inside, Kren quickly opened a similar panel next to the inside of the door and punched in the same code before the alarms could go off. With the hard part over, he let out a sigh and texted his coworkers, informing them that the alarm was off and that they were in the clear. Then, he inturned around to face the dozens and dozens of Voluptuous balloon bots lined up beside each other, hooked up to a wall via a thin cable akin attached to their back‘s. Kren shuttered in their very presence, half expecting them to activate and look in his direction. But they were all shut off for recharge, at least for the time being. To make things even more uneasy, some were dangling from the ceiling from their cables, hanging limp with their rubbery bodies looming above him. The thought of one coming loose and smooshing him to the ground didn’t escape him, but continued forward as he looked for the main terminal. I didn’t take him long to find it, as it was on in the middle of the hall-like room wall next to two of the balloon bots.
Taking out his phone and a custom usb cable he designed specifically for this job, he plugged into the mainframe and uploaded the virus, which didn’t take more than a few seconds. With the job done he quickly put it away and put his hands on his hips triumphantly. “Perfect, I’ll have a little fun tonight, and watch the fireworks tomorrow.” he thought to himself. Despite this he couldn’t help but still feel a bit creeped out by the motionless balloon women around him, even looking over his shoulder every once in a while. However, unable to quell his curiosity, he stepped in front of the bot’s stationed next to the main terminal, looking up to it in an attempt to suck up his fear. It didn’t help, as the balloons featureless had nearly sent shivers down his spine. Despite how sexy the robotic doll appeared, it was nonetheless terrifying to be in the presence of.
Closing his eyes, Kren shook his head, and gently slapped his cheeks. “I worked my butt off just to take this company down, I’m going to enjoy this night if it kills me.” he said to himself with pride. Little did he know, his monologue didn’t go unheard, as the deactivated bot standing before him had just recorded and saved his monologue to it’s memory, along with a picture of his confident but nervous little face. Non the wiser, the young man slowly reached his hand out towards the bot’s left voluptuous bosom. Only inches away, he suddenly stopped and pulled his head back out of fear, unable to ignore the robot’s weird expressionless head. But remaining determined, he shook it off and grasped his hand on the squishy balloon boob.
“Eh?” His eyes opened wide, surprised to find a unique texture in the inflatable rubber skin. Expecting nothing but a hollow latex membrane, he found himself groping more of what felt like a rubber silicon surface. It was a balloon no doubt, but the skin was thicker than he anticipated, almost like flexible jelly. While still nothing like a real breast, he was incredibly squishy and pleasant to the touch, compelling him to rub and squeeze it further. The look of fear on his face soon disappeared becoming more relaxed the more he groped it. It was almost like squeezing a pillow, be it one made of rubber, and with its pleasant flexibility, it almost felt like a slick jiggly bubble. Suddenly, he heard a light knock against the metallic doors, snapping him out of it as he released the squishy rubber boob. Before heading over to the door he quickly took his phone back out and deleted the file provided to him by superiors, discarding the evidence.
With that done he went over and punched the code into the number pad, opening the door for just a split second but long enough for his two coworkers to stumble through before closing behind them. Both Ui and Lian breathed a sigh of relief, seeing as the alarm was still silent. Step one was complete and they were finally in. “Good work man.” Ui said with a smile, right before his jaw dropped as he laid eyes on the rows and rows of balloon women. Lian on the other hand just smiled, crossing his arms with a playful chuckle, walking down the aisle as he inspected each and every inflatable bot. Meanwhile, the mesmerized Ui walked over to the closest inflatable, looking up to it with yearning puppy dog eyes. “Oh…” he whimpered, taking one of the bots into a big hug, plunging and nuzzling his face into it’s large bosom as it creaked in his arms. “I’ve been wanting to cuddle these babes for as long as I can remember.” he said with a dopey smile, before burying his face back into its breasts.
“All right guys, we have about four hours until the alarm’s working again, if all three of us are in here at once by 3 AM we’re toast.” Kren explained. Halfway down the row of balloons, Lian stopped in front of the main terminal in the center and whipped out his custom-made flash drive. “In that case let’s make every second count.” He smiled, putting the drive into the mainframe. Kren froze in place, watching as his coworker tapped into the terminal and began uploading his own file. “W-wait! I thought we were uploading the file into one of the bots directly.” he said with a slight stutter. “We are.” Lian replied. “But it has to be done through the mainframe so I can disguise the file as a systems update.” he explained, cycling through all of the balloons listed on the terminal. Kren got goosebumps, fearing that his virus file may be discovered, fortunately, Lian and seemed so occupied at the task at hand he didn’t bother to check the mainframe for any inconsistencies.
“Let’s use… the newest one!” he said excitedly looking at the balloon bot station at the end of the hall. With a press of a button on the panel, the cable detached from the feminine balloon as Lian eagerly made his way towards it. visibly nervous, Kren went to follow his coworker, quickly looking at the panel on his way just to double-check that Lian didn't investigate any of the altered files. Upon closer inspection, the balloon at the end of the hall was indeed the newest looking one there, with its glossy exterior and no worn wrinkles to be seen, it looked as if it had never been deployed up till now. Lian placed his hands on his hips, smiling at the tall intimidating balloon, all while Ui was still preoccupied rubbing and hugging the inanimate one he had first laid eyes on. “Now then, all I have to do is put my hands on her, and she’ll reciprocate. Once she sees me of course.” he said reaching his hand out.
“Wait!” Kren blurted, stopping Lian before he could reach even an inch further. “Ah… uh…” Kren found himself at a loss for words, struggling to voice his concerns without revealing the truth of his being here. “Are…uh… You absolutely sure this is going to work? How do you know the balloon won’t cover your face with its hands and suffocate you? If that happens we won’t be able to stop that thing to stop it .” he said, doing his best not to look nervous. But Lian remained completely confident. “Don’t worry, while I haven’t had any hands-on experience deploying the virus.” he joked with a wink, still holding his hands up toward the balloon. “I’ve done simulations on the algorithm myself, it’s tailor-made two sneak into the system without a trace, and there’s nothing in the mainframe that could interfere with the alterations.” He explained. At that moment, Kren felt his heart sink, his eyes darting back to the mainframe in a silent panic.
Both of their viruses were now in the mainframe and there was no going back, but before he could say anything else, Lian placed both of his hands on the shapely hips of the busty balloon with a soft squeak. Reacting immediately, the feminine balloon tilted its head down, putting Lian in its sides as it slowly reach down towards him. In that moment, Kren fully expected the balloon to wrap its hands around Lian's neck and lift him off the ground, leaving him gasping for air as with his legs flailing beneath him. But instead, much to his surprise, the balloon placed its hands on Lian's cheeks, gently massaging his face with its rubbery palms. The young man immediately let out a sensitive whimper, his cheeks turning rosy as a big grin spread across his face. Kren s eyes shot open in a mix of relief and complete bafflement surprised at the balloon's immediate signs of genuine affection.
Reciprocating, Lian began caressing the balloons voluptuous hips, even daring to reach a little further to get a feel of its backside. To the young man, this was a dream come true, growing excited as he stepped closer to the looming rubber woman. Ui, who was still preoccupied with the balloon he was hugging, only then took notice of the active bot caressing Lian. “Hey Ui, she’s all ready if you want a turn.” Lian said jokingly. Embarrassed with just how distracted he had gotten, he walked down the hall to them, leaving the inactive balloon once he was finished cuddling it. Little did he realize, that the robot had taken a snapshot of his face, saving it within its primary data banks. Meanwhile, Kren could only wonder what this development could mean, whether his own virus had been completely nullified, or if it was still dormant within the mainframe. Unfortunately, the ladder seemed more than likely, seeing just how seamlessly the balloon bot’s behavior had changed.
Meanwhile, the balloon continued to glide caress Lian’s face, occasionally squishing his cheeks and stroking his hair as if he was a puppy. The balloons hands felt so pleasant against his skin, so smooth and silky that her fingers glided perfectly through his hair, her touch prompting a blissful moan from Lian as he closed his eyes. At this point, Lian looked like a pet being comforted by his owner, rather than a grown man playing with a 7-foot tall sex toy. Losing himself in the moment, he leaned in closer, just inches from her breast before wrapping his arms behind her back completely. At that moment, she reciprocated, gliding her hands down his cheeks and to his shoulders pulling him in closer until his nose was practically touching her breasts.
Kren and Ui could only watch in envy as they grew more flustered, waiting patiently for their turn as Lian looked back at them with a playful smirk. “Guess I’m going first.“ he chuckled. Then, without warning, the balloon suddenly snatched her hands back onto his face prompting a frightened “Meep” from the young man as she pulled his head back towards her. The balloon’s grip was so tight, his cheeks were squished together, forcing his lips to pucker as he looked up at the drone’s featureless face. While it didn’t hurt, he couldn’t pull away or even turn his head, locked in an iron grip of tight rubber. “Mph, uh wiltle… agwethiph.” he said with a muffled voice, trying to keep himself calm as he kept his hands on her hips. No longer flustered, both Ui and Ken looked at each other with concern, seeing as the balloon bent over him rather dominantly, contrasting with her more affection only seconds prior.
Something was obviously wrong, as the balloon robot wasn’t reciprocating the infection given to it, as it was acting rather dominant. Kren was especially worried, thinking that perhaps his own virus had messed with the algorithm that his two coworkers had prepared. Feeling her hands tighten around his face, Lian instinctively took a step back, only for the balloon to pull him back in. It was at this point that he begin to get worried, placing his hands on her belly in an attempt to push her away. But then, the balloon released his face and suddenly snatched both of his wrists before turning around and pulling him up against the wall behind her. “Humph!” The balloon bot was so forceful she almost knocked the wind out of him, as he quickly found himself pinned back by his wrists, with the inflatable woman looking down at him with a dominant pose.
Something was clearly wrong, but neither Kren nor Ui dared to step towards it, seeing as how aggressive the bot had become, they feared that agitating it would only make it worse. Not moving a muscle, Lian just looked at the featureless face of the balloon, shivering as he realized it wasn’t behaving within the parameters of the algorithm he had given it. Then, to his surprise, the balloon let out a strange sound low echoing creak, almost like a soft moan as she kneeled down, bringing her bust just inches before his face. “Mmmph!” Before he could get another word out, the balloon pressed herself upon him, plunging his face into her bosom, and pressing her hips up against his, pinning him against the hard cold wall with her soft rubbery body.
Kren and Ui both gasped as their coworker was completely smooshed underneath the voluptuous body of the balloon bot, only vaguely able to hear his muffled voice under the squeaks of inflated rubber. Only his arms could be seen, pinned up against the wall by his wrists as his legs squirmed underneath, completely helpless against the balloon's overpowering strength. Kren felt his heart sink, the bot suddenly displaying the behavior his own virus designed to induce, but with a much more erotic approach. “L-Lian! Are you OK?” Ui shouted with a shiver in his voice. Lian’s only response was a helpless muffled moan, as it became clear that he was being smothered. “He needs help! What do we do?” Ui said, turning to Kren.
The young man didn’t know what to say, I look of guilt filling his eyes as he looked back at his helpless coworker. “I-I don’t know.” he said with a stutter, looking back-and-forth frantically as he desperately tried to think of a way to save Lian. But seeing as he was running out of time, he could only gulp in panic as his legs began to shake. “Maybe we can distract it long enough for him to get away, grab its arms!” he said in a panic. Ui nodded, hesitant but prepared himself to grapple with the dangerous inflatable as he stepped forward, albeit with a slight blush on his cheeks. Just then as Kren was about to is coworkers lead, heard a loud hiss accompanied by a loud clack, looking up as he quickly grabbed Ui by the shoulders. “LOOK OUT!” He shouted, tugging Ui back and nearly pulling him off his feet, and not in the moment too soon before one of the balloon boys landed in front of them with a loud squeaky thump.
For a moment, its inflatable body slumped onto its knees from the impact before standing up straight. Baffled and bewildered, Kren couldn’t believe his eyes as a second balloon bot now stood between them and their smothered coworker, looking down on them he put her hands on her squishy hips. Young man’s thoughts raced like a swarm of locusts orbiting a crop, dozens of questions buzzing in his head as he tried to make sense of what he was looking at. But deep down he knew what was happening, and what was to follow. Ui on the other hand, was twice as dumbfounded, frozen as he remained slumped down with Kren’s arms scooped under his shoulders keeping him upright. “Eh?” he squeaked, looking up at the balloon woman as if she had just been caught running in the halls.
But then, two more balloon bots stepped out from the walls as their cables released with a loud clack, now putting two more balloons in the way of their helpless friend. Snapping out of his shock, Kren yanked Ui back up on his feet as he ran away tugging his coworker by his wrist. “H-hey! What about-“ Ui stopped short once he looked back, seeing the balloon bots gaining on them with an elegant but fast-paced strut, with more stepping out from the walls and dropping from the ceiling as the two ran by. Reaching the door, Kren frantically tapped the code into the number pad trying to get the door open in a panic, only to flunk on his first try. Ui backed up against the door in fear, with Kren turning his head for a split second to see the balloons bots all reaching out to them at once.
With a quick burst of adrenaline, the young man tapped in the code a second time, his fingers moving faster than he could think, before he was rewarded by the sound of the opening metallic doors. Just as Ui closed his eyes preparing for the worst, he found stumbling back through the doors, with Kren immediately following behind, and not a moment too soon as he felt one of the rubber hands brush against his back. Without a second to spare, the doors closed behind them, the two collapsing to the ground as their heart raced like jackhammers. Only seconds away from being captured by the dangerous rubber bites, they can only lay on the floor in shock as they both pulled themselves together. Ui first set up, looking at the door Panic in his eyes. “Lian!” he shouted
Meanwhile, Lian was still pinned up against the wall, his face is completely buried in the balloon bot's bountiful rubber bosom. Smothered and helpless, his cheeks were completely squished, forcing his lips to pucker uncomfortably as he moaned for help. At that moment, the balloon bot suddenly released his wrists, giving Lian a chance to reach out for help, hoping that his coworkers would help pull them free, unaware that they had already fled. Then letting out a muffled beep, he felt the balloon’s hands wrap around the waist of his pants, fiddling with his belt until it was completely undone. Without wasting a moment, the balloon woman yanked both his pants and underwear down as they fell to his knees, leaving his junk exposed against her smooth squeaky abdomen.
It didn’t take long for his libido to kick back in, his shaft lengthening against her soft smooth underside as his breathless face turned bright red. With that, she placed her hands against the wall, and began rubbing her hips side to side, squeezing a muffled moan from Liam as she teased him. Regardless, he desperately grabbed onto the balloon's hips in an attempt to push her away, but this only seemed to arouse her further, as she began thrusting her hips up against his. “Mph! MPH! MMMHP!!!” he moaned in ecstasy, his ears filled with the sounds of squeaking hollow rubber that reverberated throughout her squishy body. The balloon paid no mind to his fruitless struggles, grinding away in his manhood without a care in the world as he was slowly smothered.
The young man started getting dizzy, his grasp on the Inflatable woman’s hips weakening as he felt himself drifting off. More than anything though, the bot’s treatment still felt amazing, just as he hoped it would. Back outside, Ui quickly hopped back on his feet, pacing back-and-forth as he began to sweat. “What should we do, he’s probably suffering in there.” he said with a shivering voice. Kren just stared at the floor, sitting on his hands and knees as his thoughts buzzed around in his head like a stirred-up beehive. Everything had gone so horribly wrong, and he couldn’t help but ponder what he could’ve done differently. Perhaps if they waited until after they were done to put in the virus? Maybe asked how Lian was going to administer the algorithm before going through with it? Unfortunately, it made no difference now. Standing back up he just looked at the door in silence unsure of how to respond to his coworker.
“I… I don’t know…” Kren stuttered, Ui looking back at him with a baffled expression. “You don- we have to do something!” he blurted. “Look, even if we could make it past all those balloons and reach the terminal, they’re already loose.” Kren retorted, almost snapping back. “All we can do is… hope that the balloon is being gentle with him until they run out of power, and he should be all right.” he said, sounding rather uncertain. Ui didn’t know how to respond, with neither of them saying word, with only the muffled squeaking coming from the other side of the door. “So… Is that it? All we can do is wait?” UI asked, breaking the silence. Kren just sighed, no less uncertain than he was before. Look, we can still figure something out, at least we managed to lock them in before they got out.” he said trying to reassure him.
But then, they heard a disturbing noise that made their skin crawl, the sound of creaking metal. The two slowly turned their heads to the entrance, dreading whatever awaited their eyes. To their horror, several rubbery fingers could be seen slipping through the cracks of the door, firmly grasping either side as the metal began to warp and groan. The doors began to open, slowly but menacingly revealing the many balloon woman on the other side, squishing their flexible bodies together as they began fighting to get through the gap. The two immediately looked at each other, their eyes doing all the talking as they immediately retreated toward one of the nearby halls. Slowly but surely, the door opened enough for more balloon bots to grasp, forcing the door open until it eventually crumbled up like cardboard.
—
1/2/22
The many balloon women tumbled over each other in an avalanche of chaotic squeaks, their inflatable bodies sliding and squishing all over one another like an avalanche of jiggly water balloons. Neither Kren nor Ui dared to look back, fortunately making out while the inflatable bots continued tumbling over one another. However, once the balloons were finished stumbling, they started to get back up one by one, looking around as they began searching the halls. However, they now appeared to march more playfully than before, some even swinging their bouncy hips Side to side as they patrolled. One however, stopped marching just short of the door, skimming through the security footage that she recorded while she was still recharging on her heads-up display. In the footage, she saw none other than Kren, standing in front with a nervous expression on his face, talking to himself as if looking in a mirror.
“I worked my butt off just to take this company down, I’m going to enjoy this night if it kills me.” he said. The balloon bot replayed the footage several times while searching deep through his employment files, finding multiple inconsistencies in his application and the background check, prompting her to search further. It didn’t take long for her to find evidence that his files had been tampered with, prompting her to mark him as an intruder… and a prime target. While skimming through more of the footage, she placed her on her left breast, giving it a gentle squeeze as she moaned in a deep squeaky voice. With her directives clear, she continued marching forward, eager to get acquainted with the man who had groped her in her sleep.
Once the two had gone through the hall and entered a different section of the lab, they closed it behind them and barricaded it with a couple of chairs. But then they began gathering other supplies to block the entrance once they realized that it wouldn’t be enough. Within a few moments, they had at least five different file cabinets along with several garbage cans stacked near the door. Without saying the word, the two sat down again to catch their breath, neither of them knowing what to say to one another. All Ui could think about was whether his friend was still alive or not, smothered and trapped underneath the thick squishy rubber of the balloon bot, even questioning whether any of them would be able to survive the night.
Kren also worried for Lian’s safety, but was more immediately concerned with the now widespread outbreak of virus-infected security bots. Not only did the virus seem to merge with Lian’s airhead algorithm, but the security bots were activated far too soon. And with very few people in the building aside from essential staff like themselves, it would make them easy pickings for the thirsty feminine balloons. Ui however, who was none the wiser of Kren’s ulterior motives, had no idea what had exactly gone wrong or what to even do about it. “Omigod omigod omigod omigod… what’ve-What have we done?” he asked, stumbling on his own words with his head swiveling around like a broken animatronic.
Unable to think straight due to his constant rambling, Kren stood back up and walked over to Ui, grabbing him by the shoulders. “Calm down, let’s think for a second.” he said in a monotone voice, also attempting to keep his cool. “Think?” Ui snapped back shaking his head. “We don’t have time to think! We let those balloons loose, and pretty soon they’ll be patrolling every floor of this building.” he said. Realizing that he had a point, Kren stepped back, looking at the floor as he placed his hand on his chin. “In that case, we don’t have much time. We should make a break for it and get out of the building.” he concluded, though sounding a lot more unsure than he did before.
“And what? leave Lian?” Ui followed up. Kren gulped subtly, thinking back to the very detailed text his anonymous superiors sent him, and what the balloons would do should he ge caught by them. “Ui… I want to save him too.” he said looking back up. “But if those security balloons get their hands on us, we might not survive.” Ui took a deep breath, looking at Kren directly with a now determined look in his eye. “Yeah, but that means we only have a small opportunity to go back and save him before the security bots start patrolling the exits.” he pointed out.
