"He promised 'her' I liked... Draenei women?" Yrel did like draenei women. It was just that she liked them about as much as anyone else. There was very little attraction. Though, looking at the former Commander in the state she was in after the stable master officially changed her specialization did stir something in the Exarch. She had yet to see someone that had their service tree fully filled out. The Commander happened to have a lot of points available. As Leti explained there was a branching talent in the tree half-way down that allowed them to retain their intelligence and their bipedal status on one side. That was not the side that was chosen. Yrel covered her mouth and stifled a chuckle as 'Bessy' tried in vain to bring her two front hooves up to her engorged tits. The hampered cow pushed them together at the sides in an attempt to squeeze any milk out but all it served to do was provide a very amusing picture. A woman with hooves for hands and stupid look on her face pushing her udder-like breasts together with her altered wrists.
"Stop trying to do that." Leti warned.
"These cows still require training, which is a little wild, but they're super docile and easy to manage."
"I think it's just that her 'udders' are so sore." Yrel commented. She was mostly amused because it was the terrible Commander that had been put in such a position. For any other draenei she wondered if she would feel any different to see them in such a state but in her mind she knew that she was in the same boat. She was also an animal, just a different class of animal. Chaz wanted her to be able to think and act and that was what she was used to. She had no idea what she would do if she was expected to take the same place as Bessy down in the stable.
"That's true." The stable-master knew it. Bessy had increased milk production to the point that she was more efficient than animals that had been selectively bred for generations to perform the same task. Just like the branching path in tenacity, her intelligence had been reduced just enough that she could barely fight her oppressors, but ultimately the other talents she was given made her so horny and needy that it was basically impossible for her to think her way out of an unlocked room. As Bessy tried in vain to milk herself again Leti sighed and pulled her down flat onto her hooves again by her bell and snapped at her.
"Listen! You get milked twice a day! If you're good... Until we get milking machines that's as good as it gets!" She knew Bessy could understand. Hence the sudden obedience in response to the 'if she was good' warning.
"Milking machines?" Yrel looked at the stable-master curiously.
"Master Chaz said that he'd ideally like to start a more industrial operation now that the Garrison is under control."
"If that is useful." Yrel shrugged. She was not one to deny his plans. The Garrison had become easy to control after the commander went AWOL. She was the next in command by default so she could run things however she liked. The guards were rotated into draenei peacekeepers and the buildings were in the process of being repurposed as per the goblins designs. The only thing Yrel requested was that the forge remain in tact. She was planning to implant her artifact inside to create something akin to an assembly line for converting her people into their true state.
"Speaking of useful." Leti's shoulder's slumped.
"I think I'm being replaced." The girl was pouting.
"What do you mean? You have been extremely useful."
Leti smiled weakly. "I appreciate you saying that, but Master has been bringing in more goblins and one of them is a stable-master, like me."
"That is good news!" Yrel clapped her hands together once and nodded in approval. Leti looked up in surprise at the Exarch.
"Huh?"
"You are positive there is a replacement for you available?" Yrel needed to make sure. It would have been a mistake to do what she intended without knowing there was someone that could do what Leti could do.
"Well... Yes? I believe so. He already began training the 'scholar' for something. It's to the point that she barely even-" Leti did not get to finish what she was saying before Yrel pressed two fingers firmly to the stable-master's forehead. Her eyes crossed as she looked up with a worried expression.
"W-wait! I thought-" She shuddered as Yrel closed her eyes and focused. Leti was fearful at first but felt more and more serene as her soul, her proof of existence as a sentient being was slowly crushed, compacted, then finally obliterated in a wash of light. All the was left was a faint glowing feeling inside. Her mind was intact but she felt different. The girl looked down at her hands and turned them over to view them from her new perspective; as an animal.
"You thought what? This is our natural state. With this we can not be corrupted by the legion and our partners will cover every weakness we have." Yrel explained.
"Exactly!" Came a small voice from the corner of the room. The goblin looked similar to Chaz. Most did. It was difficult to pick out the precise features on their tiny green faces.
"You're a smart one, aren't you? Aren't you?" The man offered Yrel encouragingly.
She smiled widely and bowed her head. "I am, thank you."
"I'm Laz. Chaz's cousin."
"Oooh, you are related?" She was happy to be dealing with a relative of her master. The feeling was akin to a dog figuring out which humans were friends with their owner. Once she knew, she knew who she could treat loyally.
"Yeah, of course. We don't trust risky secret jobs to non-family."
"I am at your service, then. Leti mentioned you were training our scholar?"
"The girl had been a bit wild. I think a pet that trains the stable-master is probably a bad look so I had to take the reins. I was just back there doing a little theory-crafting to figure out the best use for the gal. I found the best template..." He opened his taming manual to the middle and looked up at the freshly squashed Leti standing dumbfounded over him.
"And..." He began rapidly applying points to her in ways Yrel obviously could not see.
"Boom. The perfect foot soldier." Before Yrel's eyes, after he said that she was able to watch Leti rapidly grow in size and strength. At the same time her lips widened into a pleased smile and the light of intelligence and comprehension faded from her eyes. Her tail elongated and just like with the scholar a pair of very functional wings sprouted from her back. She looked like an uncorrupted eredar in stature and tone. Her breasts were heavy but remained perky. Her hips had a subtle curve and her belly was muscular.
"What did you do? It looks similar to the scholar's transformation." Yrel commented curiously, circling the woman.
"Oh, I had to move stuff around for her, too." He stated. The goblin was very excited to explain himself.
"I do this all the time. We figure out the best spec down to the point and apply it like a template or a 'cookie-cutter' to others. It takes all the thought out of raising your pets. It's great!" He looked up into Yrel's eyes and saw a woman that could not even begin to understand what he was talking about.
