(Warning: This story includes futa, oviposition, and cum inflation)
Background: In the distant future, humanity truly takes to the stars. A golden age of science and technology launches the species into a universe merely dreamt of my previous generations. Medicine progresses and increases the human lifespan, aided by interspecies cooperation with alien worlds. One of the big players in biological research, Cygnus, is well known for testing the boundaries of what the human body can do.
Individuals can sign up to be experimented on with alien genes, in exchange for large sums of money of course...

Early the next morning, or so Danni would guess in the confines of her windowless room, the sounds of clanking, buzzing, and a few expletives emanated faintly through the doors leading back to the test chamber. The sound drew her from her slumber, and she got up to get ready for the day. After a quick shower, she slipped into the elastic test suit, which hugged her curves yet didn't feel too tight, and poked her head out the door to the lab.
The Operator was crouching near some kind of machine up against the wall, tampering with it and having obvious difficulties. Nearby, there was a translucent blob of green matter the size of a large bean bag chair. It wasn't obvious if it was a liquid or solid or what; it looked a bit like jello.
"Everything going alright?" Danni asked as she approached the Operator. "What is this thing?" She asked, gesturing towards the blob.
"Yeah there's some kind of glitch with this thing," the Operator grumbles. She slammed the side of it with her fist and it projected a faint UV light on the wall. "Finally!" She sighed as she shut the machine off again. "This guy here's going to help us out with the next test. It's technically... well... a plant or an algae or something. It's not sentient." She explained.
The Operator pulled out a tiny laser pen and shot it at the blob, which responded by forming a small flailing tentacle on the point, searching for something to grab. Danni stared at the blob, wondering if this thing was really safe as she began putting the pieces together.
"So this thing reacts to light, but it's NOT actually a plant... what IS it? I'm still in the dark on what's going on here," Danni prompted.
"Well, what it is doesn't really matter, it's what it does. The light gives it an excess of energy to use," the Operator explains as she toys with the pen light some more, causing tendrils to form and disappear. "It creates 'eggs', which are really just pockets of a similar goop, but it happens very infrequently and requires a warm, safe space to deposit them," she continued.
"I'm guessing that I'm supposed to be that warm, safe space..." Danni trailed off, looking slightly unamused.
