Dr. Maverick soon discovered the symptoms of the virus by examining the patient zero group. first, they would feel flushed with heat. then they get horny. the females would have an additional symptom. for them, their vaginas would mutate into a scrotum to house their new testicles.
the same would happen to their clitoris as it would become a penis. the final size for both men and women would vary. thankfully an x-ray showed that they still had the ovaries inside of them. they as well as their wombs would be connected to their anus. so they could still reproduce.
however, a second discovery was made with the original men. within them, a set of ovaries would develop as well as their womb. Maverick noted that women take longer to change as it takes time for their feminine features to turn masculine. after this, the changes would continue. a few questions afterward revealed how they became the monsters they are now. there are three variables.
One would be adrenaline. this would cause the person to panic and think of the first monster that popped into their head. this could vary from 3 eyes or legs to a mythological creature. the worst would be an unrecognizable mass of flesh. The case in point was an old woman who was reported to be a Karen at the mall.
she was now... well no description could do her or him justice. maverick looked at the other types within this category. an average teenage boy cried with his three eyes as his tripod legs prevented him from sitting cross-legged on the floor. given his skirt and discarded bra he was clearly a teenage girl before this. beside him, his former mother was trying to console him.
A Minotaur man rubbed his back while his cock stuck out of his ruined jeans. the second variable was thought. this would happen when the person thinks of a monster or something inhuman. The first type functions were similar to the first variable. the person could think of a mythological creature and then become that one.
the doctor took note of how many of these types there were. next would be animals. these could range from partial to identical to the real thing. finally would be the inanimate types. this was similar to the other two except this time it involved objects.
ranging from mannequins to vending machines. sometimes a person could merge with the object in question. a phoenix man who fell in this type was busy flying through the air. thankfully the former cancer patient had a high ceiling for this as he wasn't the only one. a man was currently using a weightlifter to pass the time.
he now had the head of a king cobra and the genitals of a bull. beside him, a peacock was watching him. maverick knew this was his wife. speaking off them their kids were currently playing. a little kid wearing a werewolf costume soon found the latex merged with him.
he was now a rubber wolf. the brother now was a living mannequin able to move as so. the former sister using his new hand to send text. it's unclear if his phone merged with his hand or not. Finally was the most unpredictable one. this variable was called instant.
As he witnessed with the people closest to the meteor he saw it. they were the first to change. Their changes were similar to the first two but they changed instantly. Additionally, there changes could be more extreme. any or all of the following has been noted.
they have increased libidos. some of them have constant erections. they could have changed mentally. this would range from thinking more masculine to actually thinking they are what they've become. to his left sphinx was currently masturbating. a satyr was talking to his parents on the phone as his cock was constantly hard. A former waitress was now using his coffee pot body to serve drinks.
said drinks came from his horse cocks on his chest. One had coffee the other hot chocolate. his main cock added the form. only others who had been affected mentally drank from this. an anthro dog man looked conflicted as he eyed another dog.
additionally to note animals are more or less unaffected. Dr. Maverick had just finished administering the vaccine to the changed people. now they would be moved to a more secure facility till they could find a cure. there were still a few people out there with the strain but the CDC will find them and bring them here.

back at the mall, the situation became more dire. underneath the covered mall the green rock continued altering the surroundings. the reason it was so deadly to the aliens was that it could alter the environment too. Thankfully Earth's atmosphere had changed it from deadly to just transformations. The virus seemed to take influence from its original victims.
as so the mall changed more. more unknown flora and fauna spread from the center of the mall. soon it entered the parking garage. the abandoned vehicles shifted to something more monstrous. some broke down rapidly while some merged with the oil and fuel inside them.
soon the 3 story complex was filled with destroyed or dinosaur-like cars. glowing green vines wrapped around the support pillars and broke some. The news crew outside filmed this. they watched as it caused a tear in the tent. now the virus could be carried by the wind.
the people surrounding it watched in horror as the tent began tearing. the very building shifting and looking more like a haunted house by the second. this would be what the news reporter said. "that's right Marcus it seems that the very mall is transitioning into something else entirely. we will have to come back once we're at a safe place to view this monstrosity of..." Susan said before beginning to cough.
she was not alone as the CDC, police, and firefighters immediately felt the changes. she could only watch through her coughs as Will merged with his camera. he now looks like that film-man thing on the internet. What's worse she saw his red light was on. People were witnessing firsthand what was happening.
