The old files on Elsa Heidotting said she was
four foot nine and weighed 85 pounds.
So the water pressure in the capsule reached more manageable levels,
which seemed to trigger a resumption of the metamorphosis
of the dragon lady into a fully 100% dragon woman.

took a chance and popped the hatch and pulled the now
five foot nine foot tall
creature out of the cramped cabin.

embedded under Elasa's skin.
Wisely the scientists decided not to snip any
of those wires,and by the time the dragon lady was done with her changes she was up to six foot nine and weight 400 pounds,an awful lot of those four hundred
pounds stored up as wing muscle.
She'd obviously been in suspended animation for the last four years in that capsule
