Varin sighed, brushing her light pink hair out of her face. Looking out of the ship's windows as she passed a few more unnamed planetoids in her barely functioning delivery ship. "Another week another shipment of these goddamn datapads!" She grumbled, it all sounded so easy and interesting at first. Fly your own ship, good pay, getting to see anywhere other than the rundown shithole that was earth. The reality was something entirely different, long days and short nights of watching over a whole bunch of nothing. Sure the pay was fine enough but of course, the god damn cryo pod was busted the second trip she took, and repairing that was gonna be way too much.
The ship computer beeped a little bit, displaying that something unknown was on ship sensors. Looking out the windows where the computer indicated would show nothing. Looking back at the computer and the indicator was now showing nothing.
"Damn things busted." Varin grumbled blowing more of her hair out of her face before slamming her fist into the side of the scanner trying to get it to work properly. As her grumbling continued Varin went to the back of the cockpit. Putting her hand on a scanner to get the door to slide open before walking down the uneven halls of the cramped ship. Heading down to the storage to make sure everything was still in place.
As she walked, different sounds would follow her footsteps, not anything out of the ordinary, just a few being louder than usual. In the storage area, were crates of datapads, while some were worth a fair bit, three-quarters of which were cheap and mass-produced, meant for average workers in the mining colony she was being sent to. In the back corner, one box fell over, spilling its contents out.
Varin grumbled walking over and starting to slide the pads back into the crate. "Fucking cheap ass boxes. Once a week I swear." She was happy to have her left arm be robotic during times like these. Having the ability to make it go on autopilot to reorganize the pads.
As she finishes, a loud 'THUNK' is heard near the entrance to the storage room. The lights would flicker as the door slid shut. "Warning, power fluctuation in progress." comes out over the static in the speaker near the door.
"Fuck!" Varin covered her head almost expecting something to hit her from behind. Hoping beyond hope that she wasn't being boarded this far out in the middle of nowhere. Seeing the door was still open she made a mad dash towards the doorway to the storage room. Really regretting leaving her gun in the cockpit out of boredom forgetting her routine of grabbing it.
A thunk is heard as something slides quickly, pouncing on Varin while hissing in her ear. As a pair of clawed hands squeeze her shoulders, a pair of almost scythe-like blades press in front of her, slowly scraping the metal of the ground. As some sort of muscle coils around her legs before letting her body turn, allowing Varin to see the almost naga-like insectoid alien.
Varin's scream filled the room. The girl is made to face the set of eyes that the creature, who had begun to grip her tight enough to prevent even the slightest movement of her legs. Even if only to wiggle slightly. As the creature clicked in her ear a smaller one that was seemingly attached to the entity's shoulder started to slide off of its perch. As Varin tried to pull her head away the almost snail insect hybrid slid up her neck and to her ear. Starting to roughly press itself inside.
As it pressed in, it left a slimy feeling in her ear, chittering, and clicking as it pushed further. Her communicator linked to the ship's systems would flick on. "Help, strange creatures are attacking the colony, please send word to the military! We need help before-" The device gave sound similar to the creature that was assaulting her, drawing a scream on the other end before it cut off. By now the tail of the slug-like creature was fully within her ear canal. Inside her head, it would feel like something was poking and prodding where it REALLY should not have.
Varin at this point was just whimpering. Trying to at the very least keep her pride in this situation. Knowing herself to be mere moments away from what she could only assume was having her brain destroyed. Then there was a sharp pain as the creature stabbed itself into her brain. Then the chittering shifted... it was still in the background but she started to hear things. Unsure what they meant at first... before they started to make more and more sense.
"You will do nicely, fertile breeder" The alien lashed its tongue out, dragging it up and down her face. Its hands began to fiddle with her shirt, squeezing her breasts a little bit, while its bladed arms carefully closed in at her back, expertly cutting her top without cutting her skin.
Varin squealed before winding up her mechanical arm and slamming it into the beast's face. Trying to peel her body away from the insectoid creature. "I'm no fucking BREEDER! I'd rather die!" She coughed out as she was thrown to the ground the creature's blade arm cut into her back slightly.
As she fell, she would hear laughing "Oh the breeder thinks it has a chance." The creature growled and Varin would see that its chitin-like armor was cracked a little bit, but it soon hissed and raised up before lunging forward.
"No, but I think that it'll feel real good to hit ya a few times!" Varin growled still off-balance but instinctively diving to the side. Her robotic arm slamming into the same point in the insect's armor. Her own arm's metal starting to chip and become more openly robotic.
The beast growls out and watches her closely, quickly shifting and catching her fist between its bladed limbs before wedging them, cutting into the arm sharply. "There is no escape, just eternal pleasure." The thing's tongue lashed out as it yanked her forward, a little green blood leaking through its cracked head.
A clear pinkish fluid started to drip from the arm as she was pulled in. 'oh gods if you exist please let this work.' She then closed her eyes pushing her mechanical arm forward using the momentum from being pulled in to punch down on the crack one last time. Her arm being ripped apart as its integrity was compromised.
The beast screeched and fell over, seemingly dead "Oh my, surprised you were able to do that. Oh well, no big loss." There is a bit of a laugh "After all, we are already in your head...my my, the things that make you tick, kinky little breeder, aren't you?"
Varin was panting as she looked at the pieces of her arm all over the room. "Fuck... you..." She started towards the cockpit again. One eye constantly on the beast's body as she slowly backed away from it. Not wanting to have the creature catch her off guard again. "I'm never gonna be one of your fucking breeders... I mean who the HELL even are you." As she reached the cockpit she slammed the door down to close herself in before starting to dig around for her gun.
"Oh, we have been watching your planet for a long time, ever since your kind invaded our homes." There was a pressure inside her head "Normally we would just kill all of you and move on, but the human body has a surprisingly malleable genetic makeup, mixed with quite flexible bodies, and an adaptive mind, you would be amazed at how well you fit for a breeder species." A warning light on the console blinks, showing in the hallway, the creature seemed to get up, the crack in its head slowly healing.
"Whatever happened to you couldn't be nearly as bad as what leadership has done to the people who are unfortunate enough to actually BE human." Varin groaned as the pain threatened to stagger her before she pulled the gun out hitting the side of her head with it to clear it. "You think you fucking hate them. I'm in a dirty broken ship in the middle of nowhere with only myself and barely edible rations because I was THAT desperate to get away from that shithole." She moved over to the left side of the door letting it slide open before taking aim at the creature aiming for the eyes before firing. "No way in hell I'm gonna be anything for your hive. I refuse to fucking give into ANYTHING! Just destroy my brain if that's what you want I know you could." Whatever was in this link was starting to feel Varin's rage flood back at them.
The entity laughed "Oh trust us, your government is the true worst. They treat you like drones, yet all of you are alone in your own heads. If one of you dies, that's it, 'game over' so to say if I am reading your own language correctly. They don't even care if you die out here." As the creature falls again, Varin's biological arm would begin to feel numb, her fingers becoming almost sluggish. "And what brings you away from them? Family unit not helpful, hurting...or is it not even there." It would feel like the presence in her head would get more intense. "And destroying your brain? Why would we waste someone with such potential? We will retrieve you, one way or another, after all, we have more clearing out the colony you have been sent to deliver your stock to human."
Varin twitched her fingers keeping the gun on the creature almost expecting it to get back up again this time. "I've had people try to CONTROL me my entire life! Family?! What a fucking joke." The entity in her head would start to be shown Varin being shoved around by her family over and over. Being used for different dangerous and definitely illegal tasks... all that led to her arm being ripped off by a different alien species. "You're in my head you should see it! You've warned me about the colony so I can just turn and leave! Fuck the cargo I'm dumping that... thing out through the airlocks to make sure it can't come back." She panted the fatigue starting to set in.
"Oh, but don't you want to show just how well you can survive? To show that you not only are valuable to someone, something? To show that you can pursue things that not only make you happy but give a real middle finger to your foolish species?" The entity causes a warmth where her arm stump meets the remains of her metal prosthetic "Wouldn't you like a brand new arm?"
