The naked man moved closer, and Jim could see that he was not entirely
naked - he was wearing a collar with the number 308 on it. So this was
indeed Unit 308, whatever that implied. And he was here to
"inspect" Jim, or rather the woman he had just turned into. Weird.
The man moved closer still, and Jim noticed the wires running from the
collar up to his head, wheer they disappeared under his hair. Another set
of wires ran down the man's belly and were connected to a set of electrodes
attached to his genitials. Finally a thin spiral cable lead from the collar
to a box on the ceiling that had a couple of flashing lamps and a single
gauge on it. The gauge was not calibrated in any known unit, only the
colors red. yellow and green. Jim did get a pretty good idea about what the
gauge was measuring when the man ran his eyes over his, or rather her,
naked body, the lights flashed a bit faster and the needle started
crawling out of the red.
"Sexy lady, turn me on," the man muttered.
"What??!!"
"Sexy lady, turn me on," the man repeated and pointed to the gauge. "Hitting green is the only way out of here."
Okay, Jim thought. So he had been turned into a woman and as such was
supposed to excite a man up to a certain level, at which point either or
both of them would get out of there. The question was whether he was up to
it, and whether getting out was a good thing. Okay, so they were two questions...
