Alex opened his eyes groggily, his head aching, and struggled to place himself. His surroundings felt bizarre. He was lying on a bed of some kind, its cushioning firm but pleasant. The ceiling appeared to be far above him, and it shined like rubies, a rich, vibrant red. For a second he wondered if he was in a cathedral of some kind, and he tried in vain to right himself up. Though his arms were free, there was a thick strap on his chest, tying him to the bed.
"What the fuck?" he mumbled, his speech thick and syrupy.
The last thing Alex remembered was sitting on his roof, looking up at the meteor shower that had been forecast. And .. something in the sky? A black void, a green beam and then ..
"Good, you're awake," a voice boomed from all around him. It sounded robotic.
"Whatsh going on?" Alex asked. He wondered if he had been drugged. His thoughts were fuzzy around the edges, and he didn't feel nearly as scared as he thought this situation warranted.
"Planet Alpha-Aleph is currently recruiting life forms for assistance in bringing up its population to normal levels. We thank you for your participation."
Alex tried to make sense of the words. "What do you mean?"
"Due to global catastrophe, our species has dwindled to unhealthy numbers. To speed up our recovery process, we are enlisting others to help. It will be brief, and you will be compensated. We thank you for your participation."
Before Alex could say anything further, he saw something move, right on the corner of his vision. Turning his head, he saw what appeared to be a woman in scrubs moving towards him. She carried a needle in her hand.
"Who are you?"
"I am one of the survivors from Alpha-Aleph." Her voice was still mechanical to the ear, but not nearly as alien as the voice over the loudspeaker. "I have taken your species' form so as to calm you. Due to your breeding limitations, we will be performing a minor gender reassignment beforehand. This will be painless, and temporary. Do not be afraid, Alexander. We thank you for your participation."
Alex could not summon the strength to swat her arm away as she quickly injected him with the contents of the syringe, emptying it into a vein on his forearm. Almost immediately he felt his stomach tie itself in knots. She undid the strap over his chest, obviously confident that Alex would not be trying to escape. The nurse began to take off his jeans. Alex was confused but did not struggle. She took off his boxers next, lying both on the ground next to his bed.
He began to feel his body changing. First his chest grew tender, his nipples hardening. Slowly his chest began to protrude, until he appeared to have tits like that of a young woman, soft and full. His eyes grew wide at the sight of his breasts.
The nurse came over and felt his tits, cupping them with her hands. They felt sore, but he loved how her hands felt on them. "Good," she murmured, and walked back over to where he could now feel his genitals .. rearranging themselves. It felt wrong. But it also felt so good.
He slowly reached a hand down and touched himself. Where he had expected to find cock, he now found a pussy, warm and inviting. Alex quickly drew his hand away.
"Oh my God. What have you..you done to me?"
The woman smiled. "Don't be scared, Alexander. You remember? Temporary."
"Temporary," he repeated softly.
She nodded, and pulled stirrups out of their compartments in the bed. Gently, she guided his feet into them, making him spread his new vagina for her. He moaned as she slid one finger inside it.
"Excellent. One moment." The nurse walked out, and returned momentarily wielding what appeared to be a large turkey baster, filled with something light blue in colour. She looked at him almost apologetically. "It's crude. But it will get the job done."
