"As you can see you'll be injected with nanites," Dr. Morgana said. "They're microscopic robots if you didn't already know that."
You looked at the screen seeing an image of one of the nanites. It looked like a soccer ball. "What are they suppose to do?" you asked.
"They'll be transforming you," Dr. Morgana said.
"What will they be transforming me into and how?" you asked.
"They'll be altering your genetic structure based on genetic samples they have acquired," Dr. Morgana said. "I know that they look simple but inside they're very complex. As to what you'll be transformed into. Your first one is a surprise."
"Well I do like surprises," you said shrugging your shoulders.
Dr. Morgana picked up a syringe with a silver fluid in it saying, "This contains some of the nanites that will be in your body. You'll have to lay in the nanite bath to absorb the rest and that's when your first transformation will happen."
"Ok," you said slowly. "Will I be able to control the transformations?"
"Of course," Dr. Morgana said. "The nanites will interface with your brain and optic and auditory nerves. You'll be able to see what you'll become and with a thought and a code word you're transformation will start. They're also designed to allow us to monitor the system and communicate with you."
"So basically you'll be spying on me all the time," you said not liking this.
"Not all the time," Dr. Morgana said. "We're not Big Brother but we do need to monitor things to make sure everything is working as it should be. Besides you could help locate some missing kids if this works out as it should."
She hit your weak point. If there was a way to help find missing kids then you'd take it. "Alright I suppose that you do need to monitor things," you said sighing. "I'm ready for the injection."
"You may feel a funny feeling after a few seconds," Dr. Morgana said as she injected the nanites into you. Sure enough after a few seconds you felt like your nose closed up and you started to panic. "Take it easy," she said putting her hand on you. "It's just the nanites forming something like gills. You can still breathe alright but now you'll be able to breathe underwater too."
"Well I guess that's cool," you said surprised that your voice didn't sound all nasally.
"Now the nanites should have finished building the gills," Dr. Morgana said. "Now we need to get you into the nanite bath. So strip."
"In front of you?" you asked.
"Are you a little bit shy?" Dr. Morgana asked.
"Well maybe a little bit," you admitted. "I don't have the best body in the world."
"It'll be changed soon anyway so it doesn't matter," Dr. Morgana said. "Now are you going to strip willingly or do I have to call security to strip you?"
Put that way you decided to strip. Once you had stripped completely Dr. Morgana led you to a standing cylinder. "What's that?" you asked.
"This is the nanite bath," Dr. Morgana said opening the cylinder. "Once you're inside I'll start the pumps and the cylinder will fill with the bath. It will cause you to be a bit sleepy also so it's a good time to get some rest. Now in you go." You went into the cylinder but before she closed she said, "Once again I'm glad you chose to continue. You'll see why when you come out."
With that you were locked into the cylinder. You saw Dr. Morgana manipulate some controls by the cylinder and you started hearing the sound of pumps. You felt something wet on your feet and you looked down to see water coming out of the sides at the bottom. At least it was warm. As the water rose your skin started to tingle. It was an enjoyable sensation. It wasn't until the water got to your neck that you realized it wasn't going to stop. You panicked and tried to gulp down some air to hold before the air was gone but you couldn't open your mouth. So instead you tried to take as much air as you could through your nose and hold it. Much to your dismay though you couldn't and continued to breathe normally. You were scared now as you thought you were going to die having completely forgotten that the nanites had built gills in your nose. What was worse was you were getting sleepy and just as the water covered your nose you fell into a deep sleep thinking that you were going to be some sort of specimen.
You don't know how long you were asleep but you felt yourself starting to wake up. Your body felt different but you didn't pay any attention to that. Across from you was another cylinder and there was a girl floating in it looking peaceful. Her long hair floating around her. If you had to guess her age you would say she was ten but surely they wouldn't let a ten year old take part in these tests. Yet it seemed that they did. Well you would have to ask later when you got out of this cylinder. The water hadn't drained all the way yet but you looked down to see what your body was now remembering how your body felt strange. You were amazed to see that your body was that of a...
