CHAPTER 9: Some More Advanced Training
The next morning, after Heidi had performed her cleansing and make-up rituals and had breakfast, the screen came to life and Zoe's face appeared, as before. "Hello, again, Heidi," she said. "A new transformee is awaiting for you to welcome them into their new state. You're headed for Advanced Training, today!"
Heidi experienced a thrill from head to toe and rushed to the room across the way. In much the same way that Carly had greeted Heidi, Heidi provided a friendly welcome to The Project's newest female transformee. The new girl was a few inches taller than Heidi (about 5-3). Her hair was light-brown and very long. As Heidi watched her lying on the bed, her hair seemed to have spilled onto her body from above, the way it covered various of her parts down to her waist. When the technician arrived, he informed her that her name was Brandy, which she seemed to like. Having started Brandy on her way, the technician guided Heidi out of the room and they turned right and continued for several minutes down the tunnel. Eventually, they opened and passed through a door and then entered an elevator that took them up about 5 floors. As they rode, the technician danced that they were going up to ground level.
The technician sent her through the door alone and into a large room full of coffee and end tables and cushioned furniture for sitting on. There was a television mounted on the right-hand wall and a row of offices to the left. The far side of the room hosted a staircase that led to upper floors. Sandra recognized the category of room immediately. It was a fairly typical Common Room for a university residence. Heidi stood at the entrance to the room and puzzled about what to do next. Very soon, an older human woman emerged from the nearest office. She was the first fully-clothed human Heidi had seen, up to now. The woman wore a black pantsuit over a white blouse. As she approached, her eyes peered over a pair of narrow reading glass, scrutinizing Heidi from head to toe.
She stopped just a few feet in front of Heidi and put a hand up, "Please, wait to hug me. I know how the bunch of you freshly-transformed like to hug. You'll get your chance!"
Heidi froze and thought that it was very perceptive of the woman to anticipate the tight embrace she had planned. She also felt a bit less unique as a specimen and that dropped her mood about half a notch.
Millie smiled and spoke in a gentle tone, "My name is Millie. Welcome to Advanced Training. Please let me show you to your room."
Heidi stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Millie's neck, really pressing a good hug into her, hoping to regain some sense of notoriety. As she squeezed, Heidi exclaimed, "Oh, thank-you, Millie! It's so nice to finally get here."
Millie patiently rolled her eyes, waiting for Heidi to release her and then stepped away. She smirked and declared, "I have no idea how I'm going to get you all to stop hugging me. I'm just here to do room assignments. I don't have any desire to take part in your obscene activities. I know you're all bisexual and I don't care, but some of the rest of us gals are not slightly interested in sex with women."
"Oh, yes, I know!" Heidi exclaimed, clasping her hands together. She continued, "I learned all about that in school. By the way, you're the first human I've seen with clothes on."
Millie responded, "Yes, well, since all of you insist on molesting me when I greet you, I thought it best to keep some minimal barrier between myself and your engorged and chronically excreting private parts. I must say, that the men are much worse for me than you girls on that point. If I were naked, I've no doubt that one of them would accidently ram me in one of my holes and somebody would accuse me of man-child abuse. Look, having spent many years among actual humans, I've sort of acquired some of their habits. One of them is trying to avoid someone splashing sexual fluids on their bare skin by covering up a bit."
Heidi giggled and said, with her hands at her waist, "You're hilarious, Millie! It makes me want to hug you again."
"You stay back," Millie demanded, but not angrily." She added, good-naturedly, "This suit protects me from all of you slapping your hard, oversexed bodies against my bare skin. That also means that it's worth the trouble of changing clothes twice a workday, thanks to the residue that you all tend to leave behind when you try to hump me like a terrier. It wasn't that bad the first time. There is no way I'm going to take the chance of your getting pussy juice all over me now. I thought I had a dry one, for once, but I'm aware that you and all of your colleagues have slimy lovemaking ooze dribbling at a constant rate down your thighs."
Heidi thought that the woman was overreacting, but this conversation was too fun not to play with old Millie some more. Heidi frowned and bent forward to inspect her thighs for this lovemaking slime. She slid an index finger up the inside of one thigh until reaching her crotch and discovered that she wasn't quite dripping, but she wasn't quite totally dry, either...
She slowly straightened and, looking Millie in the eyes, admitted, "Ok, Millie. You are definitely the expert and I'm the slime-covered sexual predator. I think we should still be friends and I'll promise not to try to fuck you. Deal?" Heidi reached out her hand and Millie returned her handshake, laughing.
"Stop fooling around, you silly cunt," she ordered, in the midst of chuckling, which only sent Heidi giggling until she couldn't resist putting her other hand on Millie's shoulder. After some moments, they finally stopped laughing and detached. Millie became reflective, adding, casually, "Buu-uut, I think you may be my favourite, so far. Although, as I said, I'm not into ladies."
"Cool." Heidi said, casually, smiling and nodding. She looked up the staircase and found it difficult to count how many upper floors there were in this building. She inquired, "How many floors are up there?"
Millie replied, "From here, there are 24 and there are four living spaces for each floor. Each living space is meant to be large enough for around four transformees, so we have capacity to house 96, altogether. We are at about 75% capacity, right now, but more of you come through that door all of the time. We will reach our capacity very soon, I expect. There's an elevator on the second floor. You've been assigned to Apartment 12A, so we'll be taking you up to the 12th floor."
As they reached the second floor hallway, the pair rode the elevator to Heidi's floor and Millie directed her to the door of her apartment. Millie explained, "Until we are at full capacity, formal Advanced Training will not begin. That will take several more days. Until then, you are to remain in your apartment. One other transformee is in there, already. You should know that the bunking system here is to be quite fluid, so don't get too attached to her. At the same time, you won't want to miss any opportunities for getting to know one another better. You'll be bound to work a great deal with her at some point in the future, when The Project really gets going."
Pausing, she squinted and smirked in Heidi's direction and said, "Plus, I know what you transformees are like. You all act like you've been in prison for years...," her comments trailed off as she turned and walked slowly back toward the elevator.
"Thanks, Millie!" Heidi shouted gleefully in the direction of Millie's back and Millie threw up her arm in a half-hearted signal of farewell. Turning her attention to Apartment 12A, she pushed open the door. Peeking inside, she heard music blasting, which motivated her to creep more fully into the apartment to investigate. Closing the door behind her, she stepped slowly to her right, finding herself in the middle of a short entrance hallway that opened up into a living room area on the right-hand side. Seating there was organized to face the direction of a video screen mounted on the far right-hand wall. To the left, was a kitchen area with a refrigerator and an object generation device. A hallway continued deeper into the apartment beyond the kitchen.
Heidi shrugged to herself. She shouted, "Great music! Where are you?! I mean is anybody here?!"
The music stopped, abruptly, and a rather tall and bosomy Asian goddess crept, searchingly, into the hallway, about thirty feet from Heidi's position. Struck with an idea, Heidi quickly ducked into the kitchen area and tried desperately to keep her breathing under control and to suppress the tempting urge to giggle.
Her new roommate inquired to thin air, "Is someone there?"
Heidi heard steps getting closer to the kitchen entryway and waited until she could see the girl's toes cross the threshold. She sprung and landed face to breasts with the woman, who instantly released an ear-piercing squeal and collapsed onto the floor.
Heidi commenced giggling, uncontrollably, as she squatted down and took the woman's hands. "I'm so sorry!" she said, through her chuckles. Her new Asian friend looked at her with a frown, seemingly speechless. Continuing, she said, "I'm your new roommate! I'm Heidi!"
Although still panting from the shock of Heidi's appearance, the woman's face softened and she smiled. "Wow, nice entrance! I'm Kira. Also, I'm going to fucking get you for that."
