    Your first sensation is the warm, womblike safety of your cocoon. Clawing your way out, you raise your head, feeling the night breeze on your host. It is an insectile creature, 2 inches long, with a host of eyes and sensory organs. Your mission, no, your duty is to find yourself another, more suitable vessel. Scurrying along the concrete, you make your way to an open expanse where you can see a few bipeds(excellent hosts) walking around.

    Wat do?

    You find a hiding spot, and wait for some time, looking for suitable prey.You are disturbed by the sound of a quadruped, attached by some length of leather to one of the bipeds, approaching you. It seems to have found your scent, rushing to your position, growling loudly. It lunges, and pulls the biped down, dragging it behind itself.

The infiltrator form, it's role finished, makes way for an alley, looking for a secure location where it will dissolve. The quadruped chases after it, the your new hosts dismay.

    The biped tries to follow it's companion, eventually giving up on it.You feel a nw set of instructions emerge, cautioning you to bide your time, to wait for the creature to go to sleep, as the infection process goes smoother and safer when the victim is unconcius.The biped finally begins walking to it's lair, a medium sized two storey building with a garden. It prepares itself a meal, and sits down in front of a device, seemingly absorbed in the flashing images.

    The host seems to sense something of your attempt, though it can't figure out it's source. Vexed, it goes to one of the other rooms, taking three packages out from a cache hidden behind some furniture. It pors out some substances from two of them, and prepares them using the instruments in the third. Finally, it ties a belt around it's arm, and injects the prepared substance into it. You watch with curiosity, not understanding what's goin on...

    You can feel the substance coursing through the biped's veins and realize with a sudden sense of panic that your hosts body is incapable of handling the amount of the drug, likely resulting in it's death. With little to no options left, you start the infection process, trying to combat the substance while preserving the bipeds brain. After a long struggle, you take control of the body, though the damage-to the brain, and to you as well- is done. You move instintively into a corner, falling into a healing slumber.

You realize that you are famished, the healing taking much of your body's strength.

    You move into the kitchen, searching through the pantry and fridge, findig a dozen or so eggs, some bacon, and a gallon of milk. You cook up a breakfest, using the knowledge you pry from your brain, and wash it down with the milk. Satisfied, you turn your attention to your own state. You find that the body has mostly healed, and though the brain has been damaged, you have acces to most of the long term memory. On the other hand, you are damaged. You feel a command, to exterminate yourself, emerge, as your imprinted commands deem you beyond repair. You feel a curious lack of need to follow it, though, and instead latch on to the incomplete, but still present objective.

    You force your brain to recall the hosts relationship with her.It seems that the two of them were friends from early childhood, until the age of 13, when her father,who was always physically abusive to some extent, beat her mother uncounscious, and broke one of her arms. The host- Jack Winters, as you now know - rallied to her defense, and killed the father by hitting him in the head with a shovel. He was sent to a correction facility for 4 years because of the brutality of the attack. When he returned, his parants had already died, and he was heavily addicted. For a time, they were in a relationship, that the host could best describe as him "stringing her along".The girl eventually had enough of him as their realtionship soured, but they still live next to eachother n their parents' houses.

    You decide to head out, and scout the city. By the time you get your bearings and explore the suburbs, the sun has already set. As you head downtown, you walk through a more industrial area, with factories and warehouses all around. You reach a mostly deserted strip of the complex, and spot a figure walking through the street. He moves strangely, and seems to notice you.

    He starts moving toward you, and walks underneath a street lamp. Bits of metal and sleek machinery poke out from underneath his skin. Alarm bells start ringing in your head, and your body goes into overdrive, your host's bones and muscles reinforcing, and your skin hardening into thin segmented armour. Seeing this, the thing charges towards you at a speed beyond human capabilities. You feel half buried combat protocols reawakening.

    You can grow weapons on your arms, one on each.
    You can choose from: claws on your fingers, a single large,sharp, hooked, sword-like claw extending from your forearm, and a spike, that can plunge forward from your wrist under your palm at great speed, but your hand must be almost touching your target for this to be effective.

    Morph the arm into the blade.

    You feel the bone and flesh shifting in your arms, you lift your right arm in front of you, hiding the left. As he charges, you feint to the right,barely seeing the fist as it blurs toward your head. The blade cathces his arm by the elbow, the hook lodgin into his shoulder. Seeing the opportunity, you slam yor left palm to his side, the spike eagerly burrowing through his side.With a mettalic screech, it tears itself away, fluids leaking from his side. It starts circling around you, looking for a weakness in your defense.

    Raising you sword arm again, you keep facing him as he tries to circle around you.His patience running out, the metal-thing tries to go for a low tackle, aimig for your legs. You spin out of his way, hooking your sword-claw into his neck, dragging him suddenly upwards.Grabing him by the neck, your spike rips through between his vertebrae, exloding out on the other side, glistening with blood, lubricant and coolant fluid. You hold him tight as he twitches his last, then pull back the spike and let his body hit the ground.

    I think it was stated earlier that switching bodies puts us at a bit of a disadvantage. We can make the best of what we've got.

    Also, it seems we took down that opponent really quite handily. Combined with our directive to scout the area, I suspect we are some sort of shock troop unit sent in.

    Currently you are heavily bonded with your host, you have replaced tissue all through the body and a significant portion of the brain as well. Safely untangling yourself from him woul take a few days, and leave you incapable of accessing the hosts memory, limiting your intelligence and your motor skills. You would also need to overpower your new host, as you lack the infecting sting your first host posessed.

    being in a heroin addicted nobody is even more of a disadvantage.
    while it offers us greater freedom, it also puts a giant weight around our ankles.

    We don't need to be physically strong if we can buy our way out of anything. Besides, I assumed that the switching weakness was only a temporary thing.

    Furthermore, if we are supposed to be a shock troop, we'd help the invasion a lot more if we ended up in the body of this planets leader.

    You drag the corpse out of sight, and start examining it. In a way, it seems similar to you, as the wound on it's neck reveals a centipede-like metallic creature coiled round the humans spine. Parts of the flesh seem to be replaced with machinery of some strange design, and the blood vesels have been repurposed to supply them. You identify it as a worker drone, strong but not prepared for combat. It's origin still eludes you, that information must have been in the parts that have been damaged, but one thing you know for sure. This thing, and any of it's kind are your enemies.

    So far, we have limited control over the humans muscle and bone arrangement. This means we can consciously make the host larger, more agile, and more dense.

    She has insulted a superior being. She must be made to learn the error of her ways.

    Then we tell her we had a horrible trip, but the entire time we thought of her. We're not going to hurt ourselves again.

    If possible, lets absorb her into our physical being. Her added protien and calcium would be most beneficial to buffing up the host.

    We're scouting, we shouldn't complicate things with unnecessary murder.
    Just continue scouting for the real enemy.

    No can do. We haven't received additional instructions since we completed our last objective. No more need to scout.

    Still, no need to randomly kill. It'll attract too much attention.
    Girl disappears, the first people questioned would be close friends and relations.
    If she brought her car, it'll be sitting outside and give away she never left.

    Hmm. I suppose you're right. However, we need the female out of the picture. She is not needed in our quest for world domination.

    The only way you could "absorb" her right now would be eating her. And the same amount of protein/calcium could be obtained from eating animals. If you want to increase your density, you could buy yourselves some, you have a lot of cash.

    We have no means of manipulating the hosts digestion/growth from her then?

    Fuck it. Attempt to make up to the pathetic female, with a "Date" to a local resturaunt.

    Order lots of meat.

    You could absorb nutrition and resource from her to increase density/size/musculature, it's only that you get the same from a similar amount of, say, pig's meat/bones. Or cows.And it involves less traceable murder.
    >>14887071
    You are fairly sure that most of the part that commanded your imprinting was destoyed, so very few commands remain, possibly none. Most of the remaining is situational, like the sense of danger you felt when you saw that metal-thing. It's actually rather frightening to you, it's basically an existential crysis for you. No idea what you should do, even though so far you never had any doubts.

    So, there's no way to repair those commands then?
    Would switching hosts reboot the commands?
    >> Brain In A Jar 05/11/11(Wed)03:15 No.14887307
    Switching host would not solve the problem, as the drug damaged you yourself. You clearly weren't made resistant to massive amounts of bad quality drug getting pumped into you while half-bonded. The good news is, right now you can neutralize dangerous substances. Alcohol, drugs, poisons, the way you are you could neutralize most of them.
    >> Brain In A Jar 05/11/11(Wed)03:17 No.14887323
    >>14887256
    And you don't know of any way to repair yourself either, a lot of knowledge of your situation was lost as well, and much of what remains is buried, half forgotten.

    We tell her we overdosed and we're quitting the stuff for good.
    It was terrible... We spent the time after we woke up trying to get our bearings and find direction

    She gasps, and says" Oh my god, I'm so sorry, I didn't know.But that's amazing news, I'm so happy for you!" She goes to hug you, and you nearly mistake the gesture with the tackle from yesterday night, almost unleashing your hook-sword+spike combo on her. You manage to dig out the proper reaction from your host, and return the hug.She looks up at you."We should totally have a celebration! I'll call everyone, you just rest until tonight, okay?" She barely waits for any response, already talking on her phone by the time she reaches the door.

    Before you can decipher what just happens, she leans back from the door."We'll gather at the bar around 10 P.M., okay?Bye!"Finally, she's gone.
    That could have gone worse.
    >> Brain In A Jar 05/11/11(Wed)04:06 No.14887695
    Well, seems like we're well and dead, and either way I will have to leave relatively soon, I should be back with the next part by tonight, say, between 15 and 16 P.M. board time.My PC should be up and running again by then so you can expect a significant decrease in typos.Thread's been archived: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/14881965/
