The next day Harlow arrived to draw blood, give Jace his weekly dose of the gene therapy serum, and bring another empty cup for the next "sample".

"So uh, I've been here a couple of weeks now," Jace started.

"Mm hmm," Harlow replied as he swabbed the inner side of the raptor's elbow to get ready to draw blood.

"Is the therapy working? Like, have you seen any changes in the blood you're taking?"

"Oh, yes!" The rex said eagerly. "You're responding to the treatment exactly the way our hypothesis predicted."

"That's good to hear. How long is this trial, by the way?"

"Hmm, well that depends," Harlow replied. "I don't think there's a fixed time frame. A while, considering the pay, but it's not like we're going to keep you in this room forever, ha ha."

Harlow finished his routine and left as usual. Jace went to the coffee maker to start brewing a drink and while the appliance was warming up the raptor picked up the empty sample cup. Much like the morning prior he felt like he hadn't relieved himself for days despite of course doing exactly that at the time. He was already aroused, and in no time at all the raptor was able to bring himself to climax. Like before, Jace released his entire load into the cup. He sighed lightly as he caught his breath before putting the lid on the cup and waiting for the coffee to finish. He set the cup in the same place as before, off to the side of the bartop, and sat down at the table to look at a crossword puzzle and have his drink.

While staring off into space trying to solve one of the clues of the puzzle though, Jace noticed something peculiar about the cup as it caught his gaze. He stepped away from the table to look at it and as he eyed its contents he noticed that it was noticeably more full than the one from the previous week. Both times he just put everything he produced into the cup, though this one easily had twice as much in it.

The middle of the week arrived. It was mid-afternoon, almost exactly between the scheduled lunch and dinner meals. Jace was laying atop the bed watching a race on the TV across the room. Slowly, the monotony of the action started to wear him down and his thoughts began to wander. His hand found its way down under the waistline of the pants he was wearing and the raptor began idly cupping his bulge and stroking it on top of his underwear. It was the middle of the day, there was nothing to do. He hadn't sought release since waking up, now was as good of a time as any.

Jace unfastened his pants and pulled them down to the middle of his thighs along with his underwear. He took his shaft in his hand and began slowly stroking it, cooing to himself as he practically melted into the bed. Jace certainly noticed he felt horny a lot more often than he used to. By now he'd been jerking himself off every day for almost two weeks, sometimes twice in one day. Every time he came it was a full load too, even on the days he did it more than once. The raptor couldn't quite put his finger on it but he swore everything about the process just "felt better" too, in some abstract nebulous way. The way his foreskin slid across the head of his shaft, the way his balls tightened up as he neared his orgasm, and especially the rush he felt when that peak finally hit and he shot his load.

Jace let out a soft moan as he weakly pushed his hips forward. His cock throbbed powerfully as a thick rope of seed shot out of it and landed far enough up his body to reach his chest. The second almost made it there too, but each one that followed was slightly weaker than the last. Even the afterglow felt more intense somehow; it lingered for longer. Jace let go of his shaft, which was still firmly erect despite the raptor having just climaxed. He placed his hands behind his head and simply laid there for several moments, relishing in the warmth that was still gently ebbing and flowing over him.

Eventually, the raptor went to clean himself up, though before he started wiping the mess off of his skin he noticed something strange. Before using the tissue, Jace ran his finger through some of the cum on his stomach. It was thick. Really thick. Almost like glue, but still slick like usual. He resumed wiping himself off but was starting to become acutely aware that something was different about him. He didn't feel any different physically, save for the occasional bouts of a headache. Or unexplainable muscle soreness. Or the weird "hot flashes" that had started the same day as his most recent injection. Maybe he was feeling just a little bit different after all.

Harlow was back with his fully loaded cart at the start of the next week. Once again, Jace decided to ask him about matters since the rex was in the room much longer on these days.

"Abnormal?" Harlow asked. "What do you mean?"

"It's hard to explain, it's just a lot of little things," Jace replied. "Headaches, soreness, feeling like I have a fever, but only for a little while before it goes away. I just feel weird."

"Hmm," the rex hummed as he shifted his lower lip in thought. "Well, your body has been adapting to changes as this trial has gone on, it may just be its way of working through matters. Your vitals are fine, excellent even."

"About that... what does it say about my, uh," the raptor could feel his face flush as he tried to bring up such a touchy subject.

"Oh," Harlow laughed. "You'll be happy to hear your sperm are healthy and your count is impeccable!"

"Heh... uh, thanks..." Jace said, unable to muster the courage to probe further and ask why his semen was changing in consistency.

The nurse left behind another empty specimen cup as usual. Jace rolled the cup around in his fingers; just holding it was enough to bring him to arousal. Honestly, at this point anything was able to do that. He'd idly thumbed through the magazines earlier in his stay at the facility but it got to the point where he didn't really need them to get off. Jace went to the bathroom area of his room, dropped his pants, and began dutifully stroking himself off to fill the cup.

The first jet of cum that shot out of his cock hit the inside of the cup with enough force for most of it to splash out, but Jace didn't even notice that in the moment. Every climax felt better and more intense than the last. The raptor trembled slightly every time his shaft flexed to release another rope of seed. His cum felt so thick, the sensation of it passing through his shaft was almost like a miniature orgasm in and of itself. He could feel his urethra bulge out into his fingers as he continued to stroke himself with every shot he released. He moaned, audibly this time, as his orgasm finally tapered off. Jace hastily set the cup on the back side of the sink and braced his arms against both of its front corners. He arched his back slightly, convulsing just a bit as his cock very slowly throbbed once more and a thick bead of cum dripped out of it onto the laminate floor.

"F-fuck..." the raptor sighed as he shivered slightly.

Jace held himself up on the sink for several moments before recomposing himself. He glanced up at the sample cup, it was very nearly completely full. It was plainly obvious that he was producing a lot more cum now, he didn't need a plastic cup to tell him that, but he only ever really got a proper barometer on it once a week when Harlow left an empty specimen cup. As he stood at the sink, his cock still half erect, the raptor became aware of just how heavy his balls felt hanging under him. He felt like he could already go another round in just a few minutes and pump out just as much seed as he just did. As Jace's mind clouded with thoughts of shooting another load he picked up the cup and noticed that its contents were different again.

As he gently tilted the nearly full cup of semen around he observed a strange sheen to it. He couldn't really explain it, to him it had a slight shimmering effect sort of like the inside of a sea shell. Whatever this treatment, this "gene therapy", was doing to him it was changing something inside of him, he was sure of it. Part of the realization terrified him, but an overwhelming majority of his psyche was addicted to how good these changes felt. As Jace stood at the sink worrying about what was happening to him all that obsessing about what his cum looked like only served to arouse him further and mere moments later he was at full mast, his cock begging to be stroked again.

One of the nurses arrived and picked up Jace's sample as usual.

The day continued like any other for as ordinary as something like this could be.

"Well? How does it look?" A deep manly voice asked from out of view.

A few feet away a scientist alternated between looking into a microscope, adjusting it, and scribbling notes onto a pad of paper.

"He's responded very well to the therapy, sir," the scientist said, still intensely focused on his instruments. "The best we've ever seen."

"A suitable candidate?" The other scientist asked.

"Absolutely. Looking at this most recent sample, his sex cells have mutated so closely to our parameters that crossbreeding might even be possible right now. He's so virile, it's crazy."

"Good, good," the inquiring scientist replied.

"His gametes are still changing though," the scientist added. "We should complete this procedure to as close to 100% as we can get before seeing if his genetic material will work."

"Agreed. Send Harlow to Jace's quarters, we will begin the second phase of the experiment once he has been relocated to the Sauriex facilities."

The scientist turned to leave the room, scanning his badge on the reader to unlock the door. As it opened the lights outside flooded into the doorway.

"Oh, and Mersei?" The rex said as he turned back to the scientist.

"Yes, Dr. Karo?" He replied.

"You've done amazing work on this project," Karo said. "The general will be extremely happy to receive the report I'm about to send him. When all this is over and done with I can see a very nice promotion in your future."

"Yes sir, thank you!"

Jace heard a knock at his door. He glanced up from the table he was sitting at to see it open and Harlow step in, cart in tow. The raptor then looked over at the clock.

"What are you doing here Harlow? It's 11:30," Jace asked.

"Oh, just checking in," the rex replied. "But also, I came to give you a booster. Something to help alleviate some of the physical symptoms you've brought up recently."

"Another shot?" The raptor said.

Harlow nodded. "But this one is mostly just a muscle relaxant to ease your nerves. Some of the pain you're feeling might be from them being too active and sensitive, this will help dull that until your body adjusts on its own."

The nurse gestured toward the bed by nodding his head.

"If you would be so kind, please," he added.

Jace stood up from the chair to get settled onto the bed.

"Thanks, it's just that these kinds of shots can either hit you all at once or just gradually take the edge off. I don't want to risk giving you the shot at the table and you losing your balance and injuring yourself."

The raptor nodded and shrugged as he rolled the sleeve on his shirt up. The shot was mostly painless, just like all the others, but after a few seconds though Jace found himself feeling incredibly dizzy, almost drunk.

"Wh- whoa..." the raptor muttered as his eyes fluttered briefly. "Hey... I feel d-dizzy..."

"That's normal, that's why I asked you to lay down of course," the nurse replied. "Just try and relax, you'll feel fine in a moment."

Jace blinked hard several times, his gaze was beginning to rapidly defocus. He stirred slightly, groaning as he very slowly writhed atop the bed sheets. At some point, when exactly unknown to Jace, the raptor passed out and fell into a very deep sleep.

Time passed. Jace groaned. He slowly came to his senses, not sure of how long he was out. Could've been minutes, a few hours. Even an entire day. His head felt like it was filled with violently swirling water. He held his forehead and groaned again.

As the raptor's haze slowly lifted he looked around. He wasn't in the same room that he'd spent the past several weeks in. This one was different, or at least different enough for Jace to immediately know that he woke up in a place other than the last one he could recall being in. The bed he was laying in had a much different mattress, as Jace sat up on it he figured it had to be one of those expensive memory foam ones that "hug" your figure or however the commercials described it. The walls of the old room looked like a hotel, complete with a couple of boring paintings. This room had white walls, with no art. There was a television though, and instead of art there was a full size vertical mirror mounted to the wall over near the bathroom area.

Jace slowly stood up from the bed as he struggled to keep his balance for a few seconds. As he stood up he realized he wasn't wearing any clothes other than the underwear from the other room. He dug through the dresser present in this new room and found only more pairs of just that garment. No shirts, no pants. Confused, Jace slammed the drawer shut and looked around the room again. The kitchen area here was different too, there was a water fountain stuck onto the wall and right next to it was a full size refrigerator. The raptor pulled on the handle to discover not only was the fridge not locked but it was also decently stocked with food. There were a couple of rolls of cured meat, a large bag of some kind of dried jerky, and an entire tray of eggs among the contents. Jace picked an egg out of its case and shook it experimentally. It was solid, like it had been hard-cooked. They were all like that. As Jace looked over the refrigerator and closed it he noticed that there weren't any fruits or snacks in this room, only the contents of the fridge.

"What the fuck is this place?" Jace quietly said to himself.

Suddenly, the door to the room opened. There was no knock. Another rex in a lab coat stepped in, though it was someone Jace didn't recognize.

"Wait, who are you?" Jace asked.

"My name is Dr. Mersei," the rex responded.

"...where's Harlow?"

"Harlow works with our phase one subjects, with the other care staff," Mersei said. "From this point you'll be under my direct care. Jace, is it?"

Dr. Mersei extended his hand out to introduce himself properly.

"Hang on... phase one?" The raptor asked, not shaking the doctor's hand.

"Indeed," the rex answered, pulling his hand back. "You've responded impeccably well to our trial, so we've brought you here to complete the second leg of it."

"Where is 'here'?" Jace asked, leaning forward slightly to read the doctor's badge. "Sauriex Laboratories? Are you with Dimetrocorp?"

"We own Dimetrocorp. We'll have plenty of time to catch up and I can tell you all about this facility in the process. Now then, would you mind coming to the bed so I can take your vitals?"

Jace eyed the doctor suspiciously for several moments but eventually relented and sat on the bed. As Mersei recorded all the same things that Harlow used to do he continued to explain this second facility. The rex seemed to have a plausible answer for every single question Jace threw at him. Lack of full dress was due to the more frequent full body assessments, the slightly uncomfortable warm temperature the place was kept at was for therapeutic reasons, the different food amenities was because this second phase of the trial had different dietary requirements, everything. The only thing Jace doubted him on was how he wound up in this second facility; Mersei insisted that the transfer was explained to Jace and that he agreed to come here, but Jace simply had no memory of that. It was the only thing that rubbed him the wrong way.

Before leaving, Dr. Mersei withdrew a small gun-like object from his tools. Jace recognized it as "gun-like" but really it more closely resembled the barcode guns at the grocery store checkout counters. The rex leaned over to the raptor's lower body and fiddled with the laminated band around his leg. As Mersei adjusted it, Jace remembered there was actually a barcode printed on the band. There was an audible beep as the nurse squeezed the trigger on the gun to read the code and log Jace into the facility's system.

At the same time Jace was used to by now, lunch arrived. It was delivered by a different staff member, another rex naturally, who was also wearing a Sauriex badge. Jace wasn't feeling up for small talk so he simply thanked the nurse as he made his way over to the dining table.

"Holy shit... what?" Jace muttered to himself as he looked down at the plate.

On the divided plate was a cut of braised meat, a small portion of sauteed vegetables, a baked potato, and a piece of very dense-looking bread. It looked like the kind of food that would be served at a restaurant you had to wear a specific set of clothes to dine at. Jace stabbed one of the little cubes of meat with the fork and popped it into his mouth. It tasted exactly like an expensive steak, probably because that's what it clearly was. The vegetables were well-seasoned, the potato somehow wasn't dry, and the thing that looked like a piece of unfrosted cake was actually some sort of semi-sweet cornbread. Compared to the cafeteria food he was eating just the day prior, this was a very significant step up.

Jace rounded out the rest of whatever was left in the current week at this new facility. Mersei replaced Harlow as the person who checked on him each morning and as the start of the week rolled around the doctor showed up with a similar-looking cart of supplies plus the thing that looked like a price gun. As the routine vital reading and blood drawing finished however, Mersei produced a very different looking syringe. The substance inside of this one was a very dark amber and as the rex gently squeezed the plunger to remove any air bubbles Jace watched as a drop of it emerged from the needle and very slowly dripped down the side of it as it heavily clung to the metal.

"This dose is different than the one you're used to," Mersei explained. "You might feel some discomfort, but it will only be temporary."

Jace glanced away as the rex pricked him with the needle but as soon as he started to depress the plunger the raptor felt it immediately. As the thick amber fluid hit his system Jace immediately felt an intense stinging sensation that started in his arm and then ran up and down both sides of it, slowly coursing through his entire body.

"A-ah, shit!" Jace said as he winced and gritted his teeth.

"I know, it's unpleasant," the rex said in a sympathetic tone. "But it's over, lay back a bit and try to relax, you'll feel much better after some rest."

Jace obliged and laid back on the bed finding his new mattress' form-fitting capabilities to be quite comfortable. The way it held him kind of felt like floating, there weren't any pressure points that would be made worse with the ambient feeling of poison ivy wreaking havoc on his body from the inside out. Before he left, Mersei scanned the barcode on Jace's ankle again.

The "more of the same" routine that Jace assumed would be in effect at this new place devolved rather quickly as the week went on. It was most noticeable with the food that was brought to him. It was still excellently prepared, some of the best Jace could remember having, but the portions started to get really strange very quickly. The vegetables disappeared almost instantly. The cut of meat doubled in size, and so did the very dense bread. The potato was also now served with a ridiculous amount of melted butter, almost to the point where it was unpalatable. Mersei carried over the insistence that eating the entire serving was important so Jace did his best to eat everything but found himself simply unable to do so. Each singular meal had to be at least 1,500 calories apiece with all the additional toppings and portion sizes, and there were still three of them every day.

As Jace awoke one morning and walked to the bathroom to relieve himself he heard a very light clacking sound with the few steps he took on the smooth floor on his way to the toilet. He heard it again as he stepped over to the sink. Curiously, the raptor looked down at the floor and leaned forward a bit as he noticed something a bit strange. Jace reached over and closed the seat on the toilet so he could sit down on it. He crossed one leg and brought his foot up closer to his face and noticed that the claws on his toes were longer. Not by much, but they were definitely longer, or at least long enough to clack on the floor when he walked. As he fumbled with his foot Jace also noticed that the little claws on his fingers were ever so slightly different too, also nearly imperceptibly longer.

Despite moving to a new facility and receiving different food and supposedly a modified treatment, Jace was still as horny as ever, perhaps even more so now. Part of his morning routine involved blowing off some pent up sexual tension... which was also now part of his bedtime routine too. The raptor found himself distractingly aroused one night and figured seeking release might help him get to sleep easier. He tugged his underwear down to let his cock breathe and slowly ran his fingers along its length. He cupped his hand around his balls softly for a moment, holding them and squeezing them ever so slightly. His package had grown in size, he could tell not only by feeling it but also how heavily it hung under him when he wasn't wearing underwear. It was a gradual change, but it was definitely happening.

The raptor grinned to himself as he started his usual routine of stroking his shaft. He adored how big he felt. Not just his manhood and sack, but the loads he produced. It was all just... big. As Jace brought himself to climax he eagerly looked down as his cock to watch his seed erupt from it. He shuddered and curled his toes a bit as the familiar feeling of his thick and viscous cum rushing up his length overwhelmed his senses. The spurt of seed was so much that it didn't even have time to finish before the second one rushed up behind it and flooded out too. The raptor's entire orgasm was nearly a steady stream of his copious seed from start to finish. It felt incredible.

As Jace began to clean himself up he noticed that his cum had changed again. It was now... stringy? For lack of a better word. It was still a thick fluid but it was now riddled with several very thin goopy strands of, well, Jace had no idea. He gently swirled a bit of it around on his chest and rubbed it between his fingers softly. The strands were only a few inches long each, sorta stuck together, and were quite fragile.

Mersei arrived at the start of the next week with another vial of the thicker liquid. It stung again as it was injected into Jace, but not as much as the first one. He could still feel the incredibly dense fluid slowly creep through his body though. It pumped into every inch of his figure, everywhere. The raptor felt it travel through his arms and such, but he also could feel it settle in his chest, through his heart and stomach. Up his neck. He could even feel it flow into his manhood as the blood circulated there too. It felt strange, but even stranger to Jace he found that he kind of liked the sensation. He grinned as he watched the rex set another empty sample cup on the table before leaving.

Jace was free to go about his business for the next several days as usual. The portions he was being served each meal didn't change again, but the raptor surprised himself with how eagerly he was able to clean his plate now. A little while into the week he even found himself hungry between meals and ate a couple of the eggs in the cooler to tide him over until dinner. He didn't realize it but the reason his meals were so calorie and protein dense was because a lot more of his body than just his maleness was changing now. Jace did notice that he felt uncomfortably warm almost constantly, though he wasn't sure if that was just because the room was already just a little too hot all the time. The lights in the room started to bother him on occasion; they felt too bright. The lights hadn't been adjusted at all, but now Jace found himself suddenly very sensitive to them. He also noticed that he itched often enough for it to be apparent, but only around his forehead. The irritation was localized up near his temples, behind his eyes. Individually these little things would all just be minor annoyances, but since they came and went at random - sometimes together - it was all just slightly overwhelming.

Jace woke up one morning painfully erect. This was nothing new to the raptor, by this point this was something that happened every single day. His shaft was tenting out his underwear considerably, which Jace removed as he stepped over to the bathroom to take a quick shower. His toe claws clinked on the floor as he stepped into the standing stall and turned on the water. Jace sighed as the cool water blasted him right on his chest, it was perhaps his one brief escape from the claustrophobic heat of the rest of the room. He decided to kill two birds with one stone while in the shower and started pumping his still erect shaft with one hand, though as quickly as he started the raptor immediately stopped and looked down at his crotch. Something wasn't right.

He'd become more intimately aware of his manhood these past several weeks than he ever had in his entire life up to that point, so when he reached down to jack himself off he was able to tell instantly that something was different. The shape of his cock, it had changed. The head of Jace's shaft naturally had a slight point to it, that was normal for his species, but now that point was more pronounced. Like everything else he'd noticed about himself that was different the change wasn't night and day but it was just enough to make itself known. It also seemed like there was less of the loose yellow skin of his member too, it was barely able to reach across the ridge of his tip whereas before all but just a very little bit of it was covered by his foreskin. Jace experimentally felt around on his cock and could swear that even the tissue under it that made it erect felt different as well.

The changes were worrisome, but even as Jace was observing those changes with his own eyes his need to release overpowered everything. He surrendered to his yearning for pleasure and resumed stroking his cock in the shower, shooting another load of his thick stringy cum straight down the stall's drain.

Like clockwork, Dr. Mersei continued to check in at the usual intervals. He was rarely more than a minute or two off in either direction, his timeliness was uncanny. He showed up at the usual time a couple of days later to collect another round of blood and everything else, though this time the process came with another step.

"I wanted to let you know that you're doing so very well, Jace," the rex said with a smile as he took his usual readings.

Jace forced a weak smile back, but didn't verbally reply. He knew the doctor's affirmations were genuine, but he also knew there was a remarkable amount of dishonesty in the way he conducted business. The raptor had sussed out that this "gene therapy" thing wasn't real, at least not the way it had been conveyed to him. He'd figured that out weeks prior, long before he'd been transferred to this second facility. He knew they were doing something to him. He just didn't know what it was and for what reason, but now the changes happening to him were becoming harder to miss. It was more than just thicker cum and bigger loads. Each of his toe claws were now at least an inch or so longer and slightly narrower, the claws on his fingers had elongated slightly too. The raptor also swore that his teeth even felt different, like the ones at the corners of his snout were longer and sharper.

The raptor glanced over as Mersei prepped the next dose he was about to give him. Jace watched the rex as he pressed the tip of the needle against his arm, the needle didn't immediately break the skin. Instead Jace's arm gave inward a bit as the needle made a slight indentation before the tip eventually did breach and slip inside. That was something certainly different, too. Jace sucked in a deep breath and leaned back into his bed. The familiar sensation of that thick liquid spreading through his body settled in, covering him like a warm blanket. It didn't sting at all anymore, it was comforting in a way.

"Don't get too comfortable," Mersei said with a slight laugh.

"Huh? Why?" Jace asked, looking over from the bed.

"We're going to start running some physical tests on you. You know, the usual stuff like connecting a couple of electrodes to you and watching your vitals as you walk on a treadmill. Simple things."

"Oh... well, okay," the raptor replied.

"We'll start after your breakfast. Oh, and speaking of meals we will be adding a fourth one starting today. Your lunch and dinner times will be shifted just a bit to make even room for this one."

Jace nodded, largely nonplussed about the news.

The raptor laid in bed until breakfast arrived at the top of the following hour. He felt dizzy again. The lights were bothering him. He itched his forehead, realizing in the process that it felt like he had a welt of some sort there like he'd hit his head on something.

One of the other caretakers brought Jace his breakfast at the usual time and about a half hour after that Mersei returned to bring Jace to the physical therapy room. The prospect intrigued Jace because as far as he could recall this was the first time he was actually able to leave his room. The doctor guided him out and down the connecting hallway, letting Jace finally see what was on the other side of the door. The facility looked like a cross between a contemporary hospital and, as strange as it sounded, a computer server farm. The air was warm out here too, and the floor was a smooth polished tile. Bright lights lined the ceiling all around. There were apparently rooms close to Jace's, though he never heard a single peep from any of them the entire time he'd been there. Granted, he was fairly quiet himself but surely he'd have been able to at least hear the television or a radio if someone else had one on.

There were sparingly few other people present in the halls. As Jace assumed, they were all tyrannosaurs too. Male. None of them seemed to break from what they were doing for long, only just quickly enough to glance up from a legal pad or whatever to see who was walking around before focusing their attention back to their business. Jace felt strange being the only person who apparently was not dressed; all of the other staff were wearing standard formal clothes and laboratory smocks whereas he was walking around clad in just a pair of underwear that did nothing to hide his endowment. Nobody really seemed bothered by that though, which itself was also odd.

Dr. Mersei brought Jace to another room and scanned his badge. As he held the door open for Jace the raptor stepped inside and gave the room a casual glancing over. It was furnished with everything one would expect from a simple gym, just with a more medical appearance. The treadmill the doctor had mentioned was there, as was the EKG machine next to it. There was a weight set and a barbell, a couple of exercise balls, and one of those weight lifting machines that was used to work your calves. Jace could never remember what the name of that one was.

As Mersei guided Jace over to the treadmill the raptor heard the familiar sound of the door opening. He turned around to see who had entered. He was expecting another rex of some persuasion, but the reality couldn't have been further from the truth.

Jace jumped backward and shrieked.

"What the fuck is that?!" He blurted out.

"Oh," the rex said with a chuckle. "This is one of our Misses. She is going to be assisting with the tests today. Now that you're outside of your room, you might see some others like her."

The being now standing in the room looked nothing like anything Jace had ever seen, at all. He'd heard the doctor refer to her as a woman, and as Jace eyed her over he figured it made some sense. The being did have a figure that suggested femininity, just without a lot of the details that you'd expect to see on a woman. She had a thin frame, her skin a very soft mint green, and a vaguely pronounced chest and hips but no breasts or nipples. She wasn't quite genderless though, as since she was also completely nude Jace was able to see a genital slit of some kind on her crotch. Her feet were bizarre, two long talon-like claws with a smaller third one pointing back. Her hands were more normal-looking, but still off considerably; she had thumbs but only two large fingers on her hands, each tipped with a pointed nail just like her toes.

But the most alarming feature was her face. She wasn't saurian, or reptilian. Jace didn't know what she was, to be honest. She had a very angular head, similar to a shark's but adapted to be flatter and more movable on a bipedal body, and two large eyes that were completely red. Jutting forth from the front points of her head were two erect antennae, and what Jace assumed was her mouth was comprised of a couple of sideways mandibles covering up the rest of her teeth. She was very clearly some kind of insect, but Jace had absolutely zero frame of reference for what she could've actually been.

The entire time she'd been standing there, she hadn't said a word.

"...Misses?" Jace asked. "Does she have a name?"

"No," Mersei answered, focusing his attention back to Jace like there was absolutely nothing strange happening in that very moment. "None of them do. We just refer to them as 'Miss' as a formality."

A puzzled expression settled upon the raptor's face.

"I uh, I'm sorry if I upset you?" Jace said to the Misses.

"It's fine," the doctor assured. "She's not able to speak, but the Misses are quite passive."

Mersei continued onward with his physical examinations. Jace obliged and participated in them as he was asked, but the entire time he was in that room he was unable to shake the uncanniness of the strange... woman, thing, that was also in there with them. She was completely silent, but despite that seemed to have some amount of intelligence and the ability to understand directions. She mostly helped with applying the EKG pads and helping to retrieve small items like water and food when Jace asked for it. At times she lingered around quite close to Jace, uncomfortably so. Jace didn't feel like he was in any immediate danger, he just wasn't sure how to psychologically process what to him could've very well been some kind of actual alien just hanging by with the antennae on her head twitching seemingly at random every so often.

The new physical therapy regimen turned out to be an every day thing, much to Jace's dismay. He didn't exactly mind doing it but he certainly wasn't enthusiastic about it. As he was getting ready to start his second session he noticed the bug woman from the day prior step into the room and set a clipboard down on a nearby bartop. He asked Dr. Mersei if that was the same one from yesterday. The rex shrugged and said he wasn't sure. She certainly looked like the one he'd seen prior. Jace decided to ask the Misses directly, realizing that while she couldn't talk she could at least shake or nod her head. She didn't respond with a gesture of any sort.

As the week neared its end Jace had loosely hoped that perhaps he wouldn't have to do a physical therapy session on the weekends, but Dr. Mersei showed up after breakfast on Saturday at the usual time and brought him back to the training room anyways.

The session went on like the others had prior, though just as Jace had finished his balance tests and was getting ready to get hooked up to the EKG by the treadmill Mersei shared a minor hiccup with him.

"It seems the EKG won't power on," the rex said as he peered over the top of the device to its backside at all of the cables running out of it.

He continued to mess with the machine for several minutes before sighing and looking up at Jace.

"We have another one that I can bring in," he added. "Let me go get that, I'll be back in a minute."

The doctor left the room leaving Jace and the Misses to wait. Jace retreated to the chair next to the treadmill that Dr. Mersei usually sat in and plopped down into it with a huff. The raptor glanced over at the assistant whose attention was focused on the door for several moments before turning away from it to look at Jace. She took a few careful steps over to the chair he was in until she was standing next to it. Slowly, she leaned down a bit, her antennae shifting every few seconds. Jace eyed her cautiously, not certain what the assistant was doing. She tilted her head slightly before slowly raising one of her arms up, pointing at his lower stomach.

"What?" Jace asked as he looked down at his abdomen before looking back up at the woman.

She didn't respond in a meaningful way, the being just shifted her pointing finger a bit and continued her gesture.

"I don't get it... here?" The raptor asked, now pointing to his own abdomen.

The woman's finger dipped downward slightly as she leaned slightly closer. It took a second, but Jace realized she was pointing at the underwear he was wearing. Someone here was doing the raptor's laundry because clean clothes were brought in weekly, though unbeknownst to Jace the person washing his clothes was also the assistant currently in the room with him. His worn clothing that she'd been handling was heavy with a pheromone presently imperceptible to Jace, but not to her. The assistant slowly reached toward the raptor's lower half, prompting him to awkwardly shift to the side just a bit.

The woman stopped and blinked a couple of times as her antennae twitched. She pointed with her extended hand again, this time making a downward waggling gesture with her finger.

By now Jace was aware that the Misses was apparently curious at what was behind what little clothing he was wearing. The raptor's sex drive was as high as it ever was, but in the back of his head he knew this was all incredibly weird. Still, even just the suggestion of something sexual was enough to get his blood pumping and despite Jace's weariness he could feel his cock rapidly firming up and bulging out the front of his underwear even more than it already was. He chose to throw caution to the wind and hooked his thumbs into the sides of his shorts and pulled the front of them down allowing his erect manhood to emerge into full view.

"This?" Jace asked.

The assistant shifted back a bit before slowly leaning back down again, the sensory organs jutting out of her head now much more active. Jace's shaft had continued to change in the time that passed since he realized something was different in the shower the other morning. It was still very much a spire of flesh that was unmistakably male, but looked nothing like the cock you'd see on a dinosaur. Its pointed tip had continued to further define itself into a more prominent shape, the crest behind it also having thickened and raised noticeably. His maleness had also become segmented with three more ridges just like the one behind its tip having formed on his flesh. His foreskin and the yellow skin that made up the majority of his manhood were gone, the entire organ had smoothed itself out and adopted a shade of reddish-purple from its tip all the way to its base where the skin faded back to yellow. His sack still kept its yellow skin tone, very tightly hugging its contents.

The silence in the room broke as the assistant extended her open hand toward Jace's crotch and vocalized a strange raspy clicking sound. She very gingerly touched the raptor's manhood causing it to twitch involuntarily. The sudden movement caused her to quickly withdraw her hand a bit, but she soon resumed touching the organ this time wrapping her fingers around it and squeezing it softly. As the Misses explored the piece of anatomy presented to her Jace found himself also looking at her figure as well. He reached out to the side and placed his hand on her thigh, feeling her smooth skin and discovering that it was quite firm and inflexible. The Misses briefly acknowledged the touch by glancing over to the raptor's hand before going back to what she'd been doing. Jace cupped part of the assistant's thigh in his palm and guided his hand down toward its inner side where his fingers gently grazed the slit between her legs. The woman vocalized again, this time a light hiss.

Dr. Karo stood a couple of steps behind Mersei, peering over the sitting rex's shoulder at a CCTV feed spread across three monitors.

"He's definitely not averse, curious at the very least," Mersei said also watching the screens, noting Jace touching the Misses and pointing to him with the pen in his hand.

"Hmm... seems like it," Karo replied with a slow nod.

The two rexes stayed where they were, fixated on the monitors to see how this "test" of theirs would unfold.

The Misses looked up at Jace, locking eyes with him. She stood up slowly, and pointed at his shaft once again while nodding slightly. A million thoughts raced through the raptor's head but the one that came to the forefront was simple: he wanted to fuck her. This... this, bug woman? Whatever she was. Jace hadn't yet had a chance to relieve himself that morning and was already on edge. There mere thought of release had his shaft aching and slowly dribbling the occasional bead of precum. The creature standing before him looked nothing like any woman he'd ever seen before, she barely had the most minimal of physical characteristics to identify her as one. He wasn't aroused by her specifically, but the idea of a quick fling overrode all reason.

Jace roused himself from the chair he was sitting in and kicked his underwear off in the process. The Misses stepped over to the front side of the heavy treadmill and leaned against it slightly. The raptor joined her there, stepping up to right in front of her. His face was close enough to hers that he could hear her breathing in strange short breaths. He reached down and held his cock and guided it between the woman's thighs, the top side of his flesh sliding across her slit. The assistant shivered slightly as she made another several gentle clicking sounds. Jace pulled his hips back a bit and pressed the head of his shaft against the Misses' slit. It took a slight push, but the raptor found the area around the assistant's crotch to be just slightly more pliable and it eventually gave way to let him inside.

The raptor couldn't help but let out an intense moan as the first segment of his manhood entered the woman with the others slowly following. As he completed one full stroke he felt like he could just blow his load right then and there. Her canal was unlike anything he'd known. It was quite slick as opposed to being soft and fleshy, and was very tight. It practically conformed to the exact shape of his cock. Jace steadied himself and pulled back a few inches so he could make another thrust. His hands found their way to the Misses' hips and he held her gently as he began to slowly roll his hips forward into her. She felt like absolute heaven. After weeks of nothing but using his own hands to get himself off Jace relished in the experience of being able to finally have sex with someone again even if his partner was some bizarre insectoid woman.

Jace gradually picked up his pace as he felt his release rapidly building. He leaned in closer to the assistant, his chest now pressing against hers as the underside of his head rested on her shoulder. The woman responded by wrapping her arms around the raptor. Jace gasped as he felt her pointed claws dip into his skin slightly. The sudden rush of his nerves firing off that brief jolt of pain hit his brain that was already swimming with sexual pleasure and in an instant he reached orgasm. The raptor trembled as his cock throbbed and released a generous rope of seed deep into the Misses. His altered manhood began to steadily ooze cum on its own in between the intense pulses that launched jet after jet of it further into the woman. Jace held onto the assistant tightly as he rutted and grinded his hips against her, not wanting to stop until his swollen balls had dumped every last drop of spunk they had brewed up overnight.

Jace had zero concept of how long he laid atop the assistant catching his breath. However long it was, she was politely patient despite the raptor's continuous moans and sighs as little pangs of pleasure continued to strike him long after he'd released his load. Eventually, Jace leaned back upright. As he slowly withdrew his cock from the woman a steady stream of his pearlescent stringy seed spilled out of her and formed a thick puddle on the floor. Noticing this, the Misses went to a nearby cabinet and retrieved several cloth towels. She used one of them to gently wipe herself clean before crouching down to start cleaning up the mess on the floor. Jace knelt down with her to help, taking an extra towel so he could wipe the mess off of himself as well.

Once everything had been mopped up the assistant took the soiled towels to a hamper near the exit and placed them inside. Dr. Mersei arrived several minutes later with a new EKG in tow. He apologized for taking so long and seemed none the wiser that anything had happened while he was out. Jace completed the rest of his physical tests and was brought back to his room as usual.
