Private Evans felt out of place as he stood in line, at attention, with ten other privates. He didn't feel this way because he was noticeably scrawnier than the other strapping men, which were to a man nearly perfect specimens of six foot tall, lean mean American fighting muscle primed to strangle a Nazi if it came to that. Private Evans was used to being the smallest and weakest among men, but that did not hamper his determination to fight facism on the very furthest forward of the front lines. Indeed, what made him feel out of place was that he, like the other men, was standing at perfect attention in only his G.I. briefs. And the fact of the place itself.
The soldiers stood in formation along the exposed rock wall of a subterranean laboratory. Directly in front of them was the shaft for the long elevator to the surface. The lab itself was filled with all manner of scientific equipment, such as the large bulbous machine fixed with pressure valves and gauges at odd places and angles and a heavy reinforced seam down the center, and other instruments with panels of knobs and switches and meters, and an electrographic telepathy translator with a shiny chrome microphone that looked like it belonged in a radioplay studio. However, they did not have long to let their eyes roam over the lab before their attention was drawn to the noisy, precarious sounding rumble emanating from the elevator.
When the doors opened in a cloud of steam, the soldiers uniformly narrowed their attention to focus on only one of the occupants who stepped forth. It was not Dr. Grimes, despite the self-serious attempt at a commanding aspect with which he carried himself. Rather, all eyes were instantly fixated upon the second form that emerged through the lift's dissipating fog. And what a form it was...
Prof. Hatwell possessed a body that any man would have thought beyond the bounds of nature. Yet here they were, witness to the impossible swell of her hips, the way they seemed to imply swaying even after she came to a stop, the improbable narrowness of her waist, and the incomprehensibly gigantic expanse of her bosom. Adding to the impact of these physical proportions was the way they strained against the seams of the Professor's regulation issue British women's military uniform, which itself had somehow been encased in a pure white lab coat whose threads and buttons defied physics in a way that could only be attributed to... Mad Science.
Despite the effect that the incredibly curvy Professor, and apparently officer, had on each man who had been ordered there to the lab, only one Private displayed that effect physically.
Private Evans' briefs quickly tented as he swelled to erection. Even though he only stood a little over five feet, five inches tall and his fail frame only weighed out to 132 pounds, the diminutive eighteen year old recruit could be proud to boast an erection that was nearly an inch longer than the average guy's. And it was quite thick to boot.
Private Evans noticed as some snickers rippled through the rest of the lineup of men. Some of those men noticed the subtle upturning of Prof. Hatwell's lips as her gaze fell on the aroused Private. Only one person present in the lab noticed a sensor on the electrographic telepathy translator silently tick all the way to the red. That was Prof. Hatwell, few things escaped her attention.
Dr. Grimes cleared his throat in an attempt to bring the eleven assembled soldiers back to a straight-spined attention as rigid as Private Evans'... well, good little soldier.
"Men, you have been brought here as part of an important mission..." Just as Dr. Grimes began to address the nearly naked soldiers he was interrupted by Prof. Hatwell.
She leaned close to his ear and whispered. In doing so it was impossible for her to avoid squishing her breasts against the elderly doctor's upper arm. Every man, even the Doctor himself, quivered once at witnessing the moment of contact of the woman's amazing body with that of another, through many layers of lab coats, uniforms, and tweed blazers as it was. For her part, as she whispered and molded her tightly encased flesh into her colleague's shoulder, Prof. Hatwell continued to look directly at Private Evans. When she drew away, Dr. Grimes cleared his throat once more, though much less convincingly.
"Right, well... uh-hum..." Dr. Grimes continued to try to regain his composure. "Uh, Private Evans, please step forward. Go ahead. Three steps. Yes. That's it."
Private Evans hesitated to respond at first. He had begun by feeling out of place, then with the appearance of his quite prominent erection he had begun to feel understandably more than a little self-conscious. Now that he was being singled out he felt utterly exposed, briefs or not. This caused his knees to shake and his swollen organ to deflate significantly, though not completely. Dr. Grimes looked him over, then turned Prof. Hatwell, then scanned the line of soldiers who remained in the formation, before his eyes again settled briefly back on Private Evans. The recruit cut the figure of a sunken-chested pencil-neck. If he had been wearing his regulation uniform, which he normally did for the desk duty to which, much to his chagrin, he'd been assigned immediately out of training, it would have hung as loosely on his meager frame as on a coat rack.
"Are you sure we shouldn't at least..." Dr. Grimes turned to the Professor with an imploring look as he spoke. She leaned in to his ear again and began whispering, not letting Dr. Grimes get a full word in edgewise as he tried to respond, "Wouldn't... ...prowess... ...finer specimens... ...given the dangers of the procedure... ...unknown outcomes... ...Okay... okay, okay."
Prof Hatwell again drew away from the doctor's ear. This time she inhaled a triumphant breath which filled her lungs and caused her chest to expand. That a button on her uniform or lab coat did not at last surrender its grip can only be a miracle. Again the men quivered. And again the little needle on electrographic telepathy translator ticked to the red just as Private Evans again swelled to full attention. Upon observing this, Prof. Hatwell again made eye contact with the puny Private. However, this time she gave the quickest of winks and allowed the most devastating, if tight lipped, smile spread across her face.
Meanwhile, Dr. Grimes took a deep breath of his own and was able to regain something like his normal composure. "Private Evans, please remain where you are," he said. "As for the rest of you, men, you are, I guess..." he hesitated a moment. "Well, before you are dismissed I am supposed to remind you that everything you witnessed here today is highly classified. This mission is vital to beating back the fascists, and your ability to keep its secret is vital to the mission's success. You can wait again in the storage room, where your commander will debrief you and provide you with blindfolds so you can be escorted from this facility. It's location can never be revealed. Remember, secrecy. Though your part in this aspect of the mission seems to be, uh, small... You've only been here for a few minutes. But, you have no doubt witnessed things which may have seemed a marvel, or for which you will be left with a certain kind of longing... for... I mean..."
Again the doctor lost his composure as Prof. Hatwell, good little British officer as her poorly fitting uniform revealed her to be, flicked her luxurious chestnut locks from her shoulder and gave the slightest, yet undeniable wiggle of her ample hips as if that were necessary for coming to attention for the Doctor's speech.
"Men. It's the fate of the free world, men." Dr. Grimes searched for the words to bring this assembly to a merciful close. "Not a word, is what I'm saying. You will be given cover stories, some nonsense orders that you were given, typical Army sorts of things. Stick to that. Now, you are dismissed." He turned to Private Evans. "That's right, you stay. Your cover story is about to get a lot more complicated."
The soldiers filed through the reinforced steel double doors covering the passageway which had been carved into the solid rock of the cave wall to connect to the smaller, mostly empty cavern which Dr. Grimes had referred to as the storage room.
Once the ten, nearly perfect physical representations of the male form had made their exit, only the tender looking, slowly deflating erection notwithstanding, Private Evans, Dr. Grimes, and Prof. Hatwell and her devilishly round hips and her profoundly robust, stitch-stressing breasts remained in the cave's laboratory. Dr. Grimes turned to his colleague as if to say something but she brushed right past him.
Private Evans would have had to raise his eyes to meet Prof. Hatwell's even if she were in her bare feet. But at sixty-eight inches without anything on her feet, the shoes she was wearing at that moment, which judging by the nearly stiletto length of their heel were not standard issue for women in the British service, caused the buxom scientist to tower over the Private. In fact, as she came to stand directly in front of him, Private Evans was at eye-level with her massive chest.
"Dear me," she said, her particular British accent immediately identifiable as lady-like while the tone of her voice betrayed no trace of frivolity and every bit of confidence. "You will do just nicely."
Private Evans found it difficult to focus on anything. Of course there was the truly euphoric fantasy inspiring huge bust on the verge of smushing into his face because she was standing so close. But there was also the fact that he had no idea where he was, and there was uncertainty of what could possibly happen next. The Professor wasted no time in beginning to answer some of that uncertainty when she turned from him and began walking toward the large bulbous machine. She spoke to Dr. Grimes as she crossed the lab while simultaneously, and very self consciously, giving the young recruit his first glimpse of the overly ripe tomato that was her bottom. Never had a skirt been such a testament to the heroic skills of the textile mill workers and their sturdy fabrics.
"I don't see any reason to delay initializing the procedure," she said. "Do you?"
"Right now?" The Doctor offered in flaccid protest.
"There is a war to win, Doctor." Prof. Hatwell fixed the Doctor in her gaze and pursed her lips in a way that would steal any man's tongue. After allowing a moment to prove that he could make no further utterance, she continued, somewhat drolly, "Time is of the essence."
Private Evans remained mute through all of this. He watched as she began twisting knobs and pressing buttons on the machine. Suddenly steam burst from one of its askew valves and the seam in the front of the machine creaked open. Light emerged from within the machine as it opened. Once it had opened completely, it was revealed that the inside of the machine was hollow, with just enough space to accommodate a person, almost like a mechanical coffin, or a pod, or a kind of techno-chrysalis. For once, the Private was able to tear his eyes completely away from the curvaceous Professor as he stared wide-eyed into the gaping maw of the machine. In fact he was so taken by the wonder and potential horror of the scientific creation that he did not notice Prof. Hatwell motion for him to come forward.
"Private Evans," the Professor scolded. "Time is of the essence. Now, come forward and step into the machine."
