Bennie and the others were each lead to separate rooms, each one with a large, comfortable bed. This was apparently so that any patients would be as comfortable as possible. The nurse, whose name tag read 'Delilah', helped him get onto the bed, which was very plush and cushiony.
"So is there any Animalia species you want to be in particular?" Asked Delilah.
"I always liked the Free Willy movies and cartoons, so I'd like to be an Orca." Said Bennie, nostalgically.
"Although I don't know any of those, I do know what you mean, so give me a few minutes to prepare your first dose." Said Delilah. After 15 minutes, Delilah came back with a medium-sized beaker/tumbler of white fluid. "Here is your dose. Drink it all to get the full effect."
"Don't I get two doses?" Asked Bennie, taking the glass and drinking it in a few gulps.
"You'll see when you wake up." Said Delilah, impishly. Bennie didn't get to ask any more because his whole body began tingling, he became dizzy, and the room began to spin.

Several hours later, Bennie awoke feeling rusty and stiff-jointed. His back felt like it was pressing on something that was causing a pins-and-needles sensation in upper-mid back and just above his buttocks. He groaned, and rose up, knees trying to regain feeling and flexibility...
wait...
knees? He threw the covers off of him to see that he had his legs back, but they were the wrong color. White on the inner thigh, black everywhere else. The sudden movement seemed to cause a large mass beside him to stir.
"I'm guessing that you're ready for part two of your treatment?" Said a voice. Bennie turned to see a beautiful orca woman lying in the bed next to him.

The great sex during his double dosing seemed to be a given. During the mating, he learned that Marina, as she called herself, was part of a group of orcas that were rescued from a black market "butchery". Marina learned that Bennie was an only child, and he lost his parents years ago. During the afterglow, Delilah stepped in, after knocking, and asked if Bennie was ready for Animalia Aclimation therapy, which was to help with adapting to new forms. Bennie was ready, mainly to walk again. During his preliminary analysis, he was measured to be 8'6" and 780 pounds of dense, sculpted, musculature.
