Mark gazed at himself, unable to comprehend what he was seeing. His face, his hair, every feature that made him recognizable, was gone, replaced by smooth, gleaming metal, as shiny as chrome but soft to the touch. Mark could not understand how he could see with no eyes, and he noted with some alarm that he had not taken a breath since he woke up.
The metallic figure in the mirror was sleek and had unmistakable feminine curves. If this was someone's idea of a joke, it was a terrible one.
"What the fuck has happened to me?" Mark asked, though no lips moved to make the sounds. His voice had changed. It wad now higher, softer, more womanly.
The response to his question came immediately and unexpectedly directly into his brain.
QUERY: RECENT ENVIRONMENTAL CIRCUMSTANCES. SUBJECT ALPHA HAS ACTIVATED PROTOTYPE NANITE SWARM GAMMA-X. ORGANIC MATERIAL IN SUBJECT ALPHA HAS BEEN RECONFIGURED INTO MORPHIC NANITE MATTER.
"Woah," Mark said, sounding a little like a female Keanu. "I wanted to order a fembot, not become one. What happened?"
QUERY: ORIGIN OF NANITE SWARM. SECURITY AT MILITARY LAB BREACHED. SAMPLE INTENDED TO BE REDIRECTED TO DOUBLE AGENT, BUT MAILING ERROR CAUSED CURRENT SUBJECT TO BECOME SUBJECT ALPHA.
"Shit," Mark breathed, realizing the trouble he was in. He could hardly go on the run looking like he did. "So I thought sexbots were supposed to look human. Why do I look like a sexy vacuum cleaner? And what's with the metal tits? Why do I look female?"
QUERY: CURRENT APPEARANCE. GAMMA-X MODEL IS DESIGNED FOR INFILTRATION. SUBJECT ALPHA CAN ALTER HIS PHYSICAL APPEARANCE BY CONCENTRATING ON DESIRED RESULT.
"So I can look like my old self again?"
NEGATIVE. GAMMA-X MODEL IS LIMITED TO FEMALE HUMANOID FORMS.
"Great. So what next?"
AWAITING INPUT...
