Engineer Atreyu is about to start his position on the spaceship the Voidblade after an arduous journey, only to find that he wasn't the only one that had boarded the vessel. Two forces have also boarded the starship, one benevolent and one not so much, the only question is which one he will encounter first.

Into the Beyond

Space... the immeasurable blackness completely devoid of life and light save for dots of distant stars. Nothing can live in it, yet this desolate vacuum was not completely devoid of it as a small, sleek metal object rocketed through it. Inside the cramped quarters of the pod a single occupant sat at the helm, though his trajectory and course had long been decided before he got to the controls. As the Siberian Husky looked out into the vastness he knew that somewhere out there was his first assignment, a scouting ship that was located near the edge of the known galaxy and prepared to scout further into the beyond.

His reverie was interrupted by a flashing red light on the console, which belonged to one of the few things he actually did have control of as he leaned forward and slipped his headset on. "Shuttle command," the canine said as he adjusted his filters. "This is Enginner Atreyu, I'm reaching the edge of radio communications and reporting that so far my trip to the Voidblade is on course and uneventful. My next report will be once I am on board, until then I'm signing off."

Though the static was very heavy he could hear the other side state his report had been received and good luck on the rest of his journey. At this point Atreyu was ready to have it be over and to be on a ship where he didn't bump his head moving around. It had already been several days since the white and green furred creature was shot out from the space station he had traveled to, and with the Voidblade being an exploration vessel it was one of the longest journeys he had ever been on. It was just lucky that they were within shuttle range in the first place, had they moved out any further Atreyu would have had to wait until another vessel was swinging out that way to drop him off or even worse it would have canceled his commission entirely.

But now with this being the last day on this shuttle the husky couldn't help but be excited and nervous for all the things he was going to do and the people he would meet. He had never met this crew before and it would probably take some time to warm up to them, but he heard that those on exploration vessels tended to be more towards the friendly side since they often had long tours of the unknown together without outside contact. Whether or not they were nice though didn't matter, he was there to do a job and he was going to do it... tomorrow.

With still a little less than a day on his clock he decided to get some sleep, especially knowing the scenery wasn't going to change in this vast expanse of empty space. He pressed another button and the chair he had been sitting on became flat, then retreated further into the shuttle where a blanket fell on top of him from above. The ship's computer asked if he wanted something to eat but the anxious canine declined, opting instead to put on the sleep regulator. It was one of the small blessings on a ship like this, Atreyu staying still as a mask slipped over his face and a few seconds later his eyes began to droop before closing completely...

When they opened again Atreyu was surprised to find himself standing in the middle of a starship hallway instead of in his shuttle bed. The regulator was supposed to make the sleep dreamless, which meant either something had malfunctioned with it or somehow he had already gotten onto the Voidblade. But if it was the latter then how did he manage to find himself in the hallway, he wondered to himself as he began to look around. None of this was making any sense and as he continued to venture forward all the lights suddenly went out, plunging him back into darkness until the emergency strips flickered to life with a soft glow.

"H...hello?" Atreyu said as he put one of his purple hand paws on the wall in order to help guide him, the security lighting doing little more than to make sure he didn't accidently run into something. "Is anyone there?"

Despite not getting response the husky had the distinct feeling that he wasn't alone, swallowing hard as he continued to move forward. There was something... very wrong about this whole situation, but for the life of him he couldn't figure out what possible explanation it was as he found himself heading towards the bridge of the ship. It actually relieved him to find some direction; a bridge usually meant a captain or at the very least one of the higher-ranking officers. If that wasn't the case, well, he wasn't quite sure what he would do in that case as he carefully guided himself to the doors that separated him from the bridge and opened them.

Atreyu's heart sank as he looked around and saw no one else in their chairs, but just as he was about to panic he did notice that the captain's chair was moving slightly with the back turned towards him. Just as he was about to run forward and ask what was going on he stopped when he saw a hand reach out and grab a cup from the nearby table. Though it was hard to see in the dim security lights the draconic hand looked... strange, like it was oily or shiny as it disappeared back behind the chair. He didn't know why but for some reason that caused him to start backing away, only to hear a whoosh sound that caused him to turn around just in time to see the doors close.

"I do not believe you were dismissed, Engineer Atreyu," a low, smooth voice said as the husky heard the slight squeak that was likely the chair being turned around. "If I remember correctly you need a superior creature to do that."

Superior officer, Atreyu found himself mentally correcting, though at the moment he was more focused on whose voice that possibly belonged too. "I... I was just wondering what was happening," Atreyu managed to say as he found himself slowly turning his body around despite his fear of what he would see. "There's... there's no one here... no one running the ship..."

"That is very, very true..." the creature said, a chill running down the husky's spine as he heard a low chuckle. "Luckily I have just the thing to remedy that." Finally Atreyu turned his head around the rest of the way and promptly backed himself up as the black draconic creature was suddenly only a few inches away from his face, those glowing red eyes filling his vision as he stared at them with his mouth agape in horror. "You."

The next moment Atreyu gasped and sat up, the mask falling off his face as he heard an alarm coming from the sleep regulator. Once he had stopped hyperventilating he looked up at the device to see that it had picked up an abnormal spike in brain activity, likely what had caused the incredibly vivid dream as he reached up and shut off the alarm. Even completely awake Atreyu couldn't help but continue to see those glowing red eyes in his mind and the strange draconic creature they belonged too. The husky made a mental note to check in with the ship's doctor to make sure he hadn't come down with something in his travels as he returned the seat to pilot mode and sighed when he saw over fifteen hours left on the clock.

Though Atreyu had a few games and other things to help pass the time he had spent most of the first few days playing with them, and with no connection to any sort of data hub he only had the ones he brought with no ability to get more. That meant that all he could do at that point was sit and stare out the viewscreen that showed what was happening in the front of the ship. With nothing to do his mind continued to jump back towards that strange dream despite his best efforts to block the thoughts from his mind. He kept trying to think of where it all connected; while the empty ship was probably some manifestation of fear he just couldn't put his finger on what the strange red-eyed dragon meant. Was it some sort of worry about the unknown?

Eventually it did fade to the back of his mind as he was slumped over on the controls, his eyes staring up forlornly at any sign that he was getting close to his destination. His ears perked up when he saw the outline of a vessel against the backdrop of stars, the timer on his his console clicking over to zero as the shape of the Voidblade rapidly came into focus. The husky breathed a sigh of relief and began to put the things he had strewn about in his bag while he thought about what he would say to the ones that would meet him. His excitement completely pushed everything else from his mind as the shuttle auto-piloted into the docking bay at the back of it, passing through the blue force shield that kept the vacuum and cold of space outside and oxygen inside.

By the time Atreyu had gathered everything up he felt the bump of the ship landing, looking back up see the blast doors of the shuttle closing behind him. He couldn't wait to get out there as he clutched his travel bag against his chest while the chair that had been his home shifted and brought him to the back exit. Right before he left he took a deep breath and told himself to relax, repeating that they were going to like him and just be himself. Not wanting to keep them waiting too long he quickly wrapped up his mantra and popped open the airlock to step out and say hello.

...except there was no one standing there to greet him. Atreyu looked around in confusion as he stepped out into the loading dock, the shuttle closing up behind him after no longer detecting his presence. Not only was there no one to welcome him but there appeared to be no one working at all in the area as the sound of his footsteps echoed in the otherwise silent area. Not only was there no one there, he observed, but there also appeared there was some sort of fight as he looked around and saw signs of blaster fire and containers knocked over with their contents scattered about.

Had the ship been attacked? It seemed unlikely with how far they were out in deep space and yet when he went to the door he found that it had been busted open as well. If that was true though there would have been an alarm raised or something, and if they had then his shuttle would have been shunted to the nearest station until the threat had passed. Though the ship was small whatever caused this would have had to taken probably a dozen people by surprise with no one calling it in or activating their emergency transponder.

"What am I going to do..." Atreyu said as he scratched his head, glancing back at the shuttle before looking into the dark hallways. "That is the Voidblade's shuttle, which means even if I somehow managed to reopen the doors and refuel the thing I would also have to figure out how to program in a destination. I don't know any of the codes to activate the emergency alarm or patch into communications either and the shuttle's radio is out of range, which means I have to get to... the bridge..."

The thoughts of what possibly happened to the crew were overshadows as he remembered the dream that he had, complete with dark hallways and no one present. What if the dream was some sort of alien signal or something and it had driven everyone crazy? The idea of trying to fight off insane crew members caused him to shake his head and he knew one thing was for sure, he had to find someone or something to tell him what to do next. Unlike in his dream, however, he at least had his bag with him as he pulled out his flashlight and turned it on before venturing forward.

Atreyu realized the further that he went into the ship that going into the bridge that it would be pointless as he found that even the security lighting began to flicker and fade. The fusion generator was currently not feeding power anywhere to the ship and it was likely that the backups were only able to keep up life support and emergency door releases. That meant he would have to first go towards the back of the ship and fix the generator issue before he could do anything else. As he turned and started heading the opposite direction the only thought that kept running through his mind was the possibility that the power source wasn't fixable, which would greatly limit his options as he made his way through to the back of the ship.

Along the way he continued to find signs of a struggle through the halls of the ship; everything from dropped mugs and tablets to scorch marks on the metal walls. The only thing he didn't find are corpses... though the husky wasn't sure whether that was a good or a bad thing. While he had heard tales of raiders that would hit ships and blow everyone out of the airlock into space they were neither a merchant ship nor anywhere near that territory. At this point his conjecture on the crew was based off incomplete information and he needed to find someone or something to fill in the blanks.

When Atreyu got to the maintenance bay of the ship he was about to head towards the generator room when he saw something leading off to the next room, which was the main engine bay. Had his flashlight not passed over it he would have never seen the glimmer and stopped to investigate. Despite the generator bay being close he found himself drawn towards it and knelt down to get a closer look. It appeared to be some sort of gooey, shiny substance that reminded him of the rubbery stuff they used in sealants and in certain environmental suits that had.

As his head tilted up and he shined his light forward he quickly gathered that it wasn't the only small pool, finding a trail of it leading towards the engine room door. His head turned from the generator doors that were behind him to the rubber that led him forward and for a few seconds he knelt there chewing on his lip on what to do. Part of him thought that this might be as clue to what happened to the crew and he should follow it while the other part stated that it was paramount to get the generator running first. After mentally flopping back and forth between the choices a few times he reasoned that the generator might take hours to fix if at all while whatever potentially took the crew could be lying in wait for him to let his guard down.

The husky got back onto his feet and started to move forward once again, and as he could feel his heart starting to race his mind suddenly went back to the dream he had before he had gotten on the ship. At first it was just the vision of those glowing red eyes again before it rewound itself back to when he saw the hand grabbing the cup. It had also been shiny, Atreyu remembered as he paused, which meant it was a possible connection to what he was seeing here. Did something happen to the crew that involved this stuff?

Maybe it's some sort of alien that uses it to cocoon their prey, the husky found himself thinking before he put his purple hand to his face. It was already too late though, the second that the thought had crossed his mind he could imagine opening the door and seeing the crewmates hanging from the ceiling or stuck up against the wall as the rubber goo dripped down their bodies. It would probably be skintight too, seeing their bodies probably still wiggling from their complete encasement. Then as he's standing there the creature would capture him too and cover him in the same substance...

"Whoa..." Atreyu said out loud as he shook the vivid imagery from his mind. "Where did that all come from." Even as he attempted to rein in his emotions he couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to have that glossy substance completely coating him, his body covered in rubber as he squirmed about like the others. He found himself instinctively licking his lips as he imagined his own his body with that tight rubber all around him, especially around his groin as one of his hands went down to the space suit he still wore and gave it a gentle squeeze.

The sudden stimulation was enough to snap the husky out of it and he mentally berated himself for getting so distracted with there were others that possibly needed saving. Once he gave himself a second to regain his composure he took a deep breath and activated the manual override on the engine room door, bracing himself for whatever he may find. The second that the metal slid open he slowly leaned into the opening and found... nothing. No bodies, no rubber cocoons, just the plasma engine currently at a dead stop and all the equipment that one would find in an engine room.

With the reveal of the space being both rather anti-climatic as well as no help in his investigation Atreyu sighed and walked inside, looking for more evidence of this strange goo. Much like the rest of the ship he saw the same signs of a brief struggle, though thankfully it appeared that none of the damage in the room actually hit the engine. If it had ruptured the casing then the entire area would have been flooded and everyone in the ship would have been burnt to a crisp, and that was if it didn't create a cascading reaction that would have vaporized the ship into nothing but atoms. As he walked further inside the door behind him automatically closed with a loud bang, causing him to jump and as he did he suddenly felt the grip he had on the flashlight falter.

"No!" he shouted as the beam of light bounced several times before going out completely and plunging him into darkness. "Well that was very unfortunate..." without the flashlight and the security strips not being powered the husky found himself completely surrounded by pure blackness. Though he was sure the device wasn't broken the fact that it had probably rolled away from him meant that it could be almost anywhere in the very large room as he slowly sank onto his hands and knees.

There was nothing that Atreyu could do except blinding move his hands around in an attempt to find it, carefully taking small steps forward and sweeping gently around until he could touch the flashlight. After about a minute his hand did hit something, but it definitely wasn't what he was looking for as he felt the gooey substance ooze through his fingers. His mind immediately went to the puddles that he had found leading to the engine room and wondered if he had just put his hand in some sort of alien substance. Strangely it wasn't as slimy as he thought it might be as he rolled it in his fingers a little before brushing it off on his spacesuit, the substance more like a putty then a liquid but still with a gel-like consistency...

As he continued to try and figure it out he thought he heard something that caused the husky to pause. With the engine off the room was dead quiet, yet Atreyu's ears quivered as he thought he had heard movement around him. If there was something in the room with him and it could see in the dark he was good as dead, but the only thing that he could think of doing was standing perfectly still and try to control his breathing. With his senses keenly attuned he found he could hear something, but instead of movement it sounded more like a squeak like something was rubbing against something else. Maybe his suit was rubbing against more of that rubber on the floor, he thought to himself, if had the potential to try and harden it might cause it to squeak like that...

The husky once more caught himself and refocused his thoughts from critiquing the alien goo on the floor to find the flashlight he had dropped. As he started to move forward however he felt something hit against his knee and when he reached down he was surprised to find it was exactly what he was looking for. How did he miss it when it was right in front of him, he thought to himself as he picked it up and felt around for the button to turn it on. When he did located it and pushed down the beam of light flickered for a few minutes, flashing him in the face as he breathed a sigh of relief when it came back on completely and he could see once more as he directed the beam of light in front of him once more.

The next thing that immediately came out of Atreyu's mouth was a gasp as it illuminated a shiny rubber dragon head right in front of him, the husky letting out a scream as he fell backwards away from it. The canine's brain was so overloaded with what he just saw that every potential thought that was clawing its way to be known got jammed together, which resulted in him remaining on the floor in a paralyzed state with his eyes wide and his heart about to thump through his chest. He literally couldn't think of what to do in this situation and even his instincts seemed to not be working as the option to run away didn't even enter into his mind. With the flashlight still on he could still see in the room, though his current view was limited to the ceiling until the rubber dragon head slowly drifted into his vision.

"A little high-strung, are we?" the dragon said as Atreyu looked into those glowing red eyes and remembered them from his dream as his breathing started to slow. "Probably still not the worst reception I've ever gotten to my presence, though if you don't settle down you're going to give yourself a heart attack." Atreyu found himself swallowing had and nodding, surprising himself when he took the rubber hand that was offered him to get back onto his feet. "My name is Renzyl, and you are?"

"Uh... Atreyu..." the husky managed to reply, still at a loss for words until his training kicked in to help him at least with his introduction. "Enginner Atreyu Night of the Voidblade, well, maybe the Voidblade."

"It does appear that the party is over, doesn't it?" Renzyl stated with a chuckle, Atreyu taking in the creature's form now that he was finding himself calming down. This creature wasn't just shiny, it looked like he was actually made of rubber that had been sculpted into a statuesque muscular physique that put his own skinny frame to shame. The main draw though was still those eyes, for some reason the way they glowed combined with his rather silky words continued to draw in the husky despite the situation he was in. "It's never fun to be the last one to arrive and find that everyone has already left, especially that was me up until you showed up on my radar."

The alien creature's words were enough to help Atreyu remember where he was and what he was looking for, snapping back to attention suddenly. "Wait a second, this ship was also empty when you got here?" he asked, Renzyl nodding his head. "So you don't know anything about what happened to the crew before I got here?"

"From what I've seen the ship was powered down deliberately and despite the struggle there are no life pods missing and it doesn't appear that an alarm was raised," Renzyl stated. "My only guess is that they were taken by a force far more malevolent than I. You might count yourself lucky, not only do you have the company of a handsome fellow such as myself but also potentially avoided a rather terrible fate."

Despite hearing everything that Renzyl was saying once more the husky found himself fantasizing about this alien creature, taking the same scenario except now it was the dragon that was covering him with rubber. It would bind him up to his neck, those beautiful eyes staring into his while he felt that sensual latex creeping up his skin to coat him. Those eyes would come in closer until that shiny muzzle met his in a kiss, feeling that synthetic tongue dancing around inside his maw was their bodies touched. He could hear the soft sound of squeaked as those powerful hands roamed up and down his naked body to make sure that it got into every crevice and covered every square inch of him...

Suddenly the husky's eyes shot open after a rather load moan left his lips, feeling his cheeks flush in embarrassment as the rubbery alien creature raised an eye ridge while looking at him. "I... uh... think we need to activate the life pods and get ourselves out of here," Atreyu quickly stated to try and cover up what had just happened, crossing his legs to try and hide his growing arousal as well. "As soon as we're clear of the ship the emergency beacon will activate and someone will pick us up."

"True... true..." Renzyl stated as he moved closer to him, once more the husky biting his lip as the light danced over his shiny skin. "Or, and I'm just putting this out there, we can put you in control of this ship and you can fly us out wherever you would like to go."

"Me? Alone?" the husky replied incredulously. "I can't do that, I'm just an engineer! Even in a ship as small is this you need someone skilled in navigation, communications, and all sorts of other things! Even if I knew how to do all that there's no way I can keep control of everything at once."

"Ah, but that is where you're wrong," Renzyl corrected, leaning close and booping the husky on the nose with one of his latex claws. "All those people really know how to do is interface with the system so that they can get it to do what they want while as an engineer you have a prevalent knowledge of how those systems work but not to interpret the interface so you know what to do. I happen to be in the unique position to allow you to bypass that need to interpret and allow you to directly control all those systems as well as do it all at the same time."

"Oh..." was all the husky could find to say for a moment as his brain tried to think of how such a thing could be possible. "That seems... too good to be true, how can you manage to do all that?"

The grin of the dragon grew even wider as he brought in his muzzle so they were almost touching, Atreyu's breath catching in his throat as those eyes were only inches from his own. "By giving you exactly what you've been lusting after," the words hit the husky like a sledgehammer, his entire body trembling with something as he felt the power behind those words. "I honestly wasn't going to stick around after I was called here and found the place empty, but now I realize that it was because of you that I'm around in the first place. I can give you that desire that you crave deep down, a desire so profound I don't think you even know the true extent of it until I give it to you..."

The husky was speechless, not only from the bizarre offer he had just gotten but from the pure power and sensuality that was oozing from the creature. The tent in his spacesuit was now clearly on display but Atreyu didn't care, his focus on the words of the rubber dragon bouncing around in his skull. What he most desired... was it something to do with the strange fantasies that he had been having ever since he had gotten on this ship? As though on command he remembered the vision of himself completely covered in that gooey substance and it caused a shudder of pleasure to go through his entire body.

"I... I guess..." Atreyu said breathily, the presence of the rubber dragon threatening to overwhelm him with his dominance. "When would you start to give me this... desire?"

"Oh, my dear Atreyu," Renzyl said as he backed away from him. "It's already begun."

The husky gave him a confused look before he saw the rubber dragon reach up and tap his other hand. When he did the same he gasped as he saw that the fingers that had touched the rubber goo had been completely covered by the substance, the black turning a shiny purple similar to his paw. As he put the light up to it he saw it had actually enveloped his entire hand and had traveled up his forearm while his spacesuit looked like it was being eaten away. He dropped the flash light once more, this time the rubber dragon catching it before it hit the floor, and pressed his other hand against the advancing substance only to have it transfer onto it and spread there too.

"Now as I mentioned before I'm probably one of the far more benevolent things that are out there in this wide, wide realm," Renzyl continued on as Atreyu stared wide-eyed as the shiny goo not only spread up his arms but seemed to make them swell, his arms becoming buffer while his suit disappeared up to his shoulders. "I can stop the process that is happening to you right now, all you have to do is say that you rather escape and you can go to one of those lifepods and eventually get rescued, possibly even after a while get assigned to a new ship and continued that dream of exploration you have. Of course I'm going to have to wipe your memory of this whole experience, including all those delightful little fantasies of yours and what's happening to you right now..."

Atreyu found himself swallowing hard as he contemplated the offer, though it was a bit hard as he could feel his shoulders starting to thicken and his skin tingle from the goo flowing over it. This alien creature was giving him an out, a way to continue on with his life as normal, and though there was no real reason too he could feel deep down that Renzyl was a hundred percent genuine in his offer. That only made it harder to decide though knowing that if he chose to escape, he would be missing out on the bizarrely sensual experience of this rubber goo covering his body. He didn't realize how badly he wanted something like this to happen to him until it actually was, the husky grunting and nearly falling forward as the rubber on his back seemed to be stretching his muscles outwards.

Wings... Atreyu could feel the new appendages growing out of his own body as they reached their full length, stretching out to the point where he could clearly see them as he felt every inch of their shiny surface. When he gave them a flap it seemed to cement in his mind that he was really transforming, like up until this point it might have been a dream or a hallucination as his hands pressed against his swelling chest muscles. The rubber was spreading faster at this point, the goo cascading over his body and expanding his physique to the point it looked like his skinny frame was an empty balloon and someone was blowing it up into the muscular creature he was becoming.

"I... still don't know what's possibly happening," Atreyu finally said, his words punctuated by gasps as the rubber began to creep up his neck, slowly advancing towards his head while his hands grabbed his cock and transformed it into a larger, rubber-ridged draconic version of itself. "But... I want this... it feels... so gooooooo..."

The transforming canine's word trailed off as his voice grew steadily deeper, feeling the tendrils of goo snake their way into his muzzle as more of it slid up the back of his head. The only thing that came out of Atreyu's mutating muzzle was sounds of pure pleasure as his angular snout bulged from the rubber, his nose melting until it was just a pair of nostrils on his latex dragon maw as he felt a pair of horns push out of his skull where the strange substance had pooled. His lengthening shiny tongue whipped out of his mouth as more of the goo pushed into his ears as they drooped down until they were flat against his skull, then smoothed over by shiny scales as the last vestiges of his face were covered. Covered head to toe in rubber goo... it was his fantasy come true as he continued to stroke himself while his thighs and calves thickened to help support his new frame.

A shudder of pleasure ran through Atreyu's increasingly synthetic form as he felt Renzyl pet the entire length of his tail, the typical husky curl getting straightened out as the fur was replaced with rubber and the muscles thickened and lengthened. Soon a very long reptilian version swayed lazily behind him, though his coloration remained that was the only thing that identified it as once belonging to him as he found that it had far greater dexterity to it than he had originally thought. Renzyl took his hands and held onto the broad shoulders of the new creature, which helped keep him balanced when his canine feet paws practically pushed him forward as the rubbery goo that covered them stretched and bulged until he was standing on a pair of heavy-toed, thick-taloned dragon feet to support him.

When it appeared that his changes were complete the former husky rubbed his hands over the rubber covering his skin, feeling his body shudder from the sensation as he realized that it actually was his skin. With no mirrors or anything in the engine room Renzyl had Atreyu move into the nearby bathroom, continuing to keep the light on him as they did. Everything felt strange and new to him, even moving gave him a strange sense of fulfillment and pleasure as he watched his new muscles shift underneath the shiny skin. When he got to the bathroom and was able to look at the mirror he saw a green and white rubber dragon staring back at him with the purple on his paws also on his tail tip that transitioned into green.

"I can see that you approve," Renzyl stated with a chuckle as Atreyu flexed in the mirror to watch his muscular frame react, seeing bulges he didn't even know existed. "We're not quite done yet though."

"We aren't?" Atreyu asked in slight shock. "You already turned me into a rubber dragon, how much more can there be?"

Renzyl just smiled at him and beckoned him to follow, Atreyu doing so as they went back towards the engine room only to turn towards the generator station instead. At first he thought that the black rubber creature was going to have him fix the power, but instead they went past the fusion module and back into the primary computer core of the ship. Despite the dead nature of the rest of the ship it appeared this place was still being fed power, several of the lights blinking on the cylindrical server. When Renzyl motioned for Atreyu to go up and take a look he did so, not quite sure what he was looking at until he suddenly felt himself get pushed up against it by the muscular male behind him.

"I told you that you were going to be able to translate the ship's systems without an interface," Renzyl hissed into Atreyu's ear as the former husky felt his body get pinned to the surface of the computer core. "It's time to get you integrated..."

Atreyu shuddered as he felt his new tail get pushed aside and something similar to what had now had between his legs get pressed between the firm globes of his rear. While he wasn't sure how having sex was going to help him connect with the computer he couldn't find it in himself to ask why or care, especially as that thick length began to spread open the tight ring of muscle. It became clear that the changes had not been skin deep as his tailhole stretched easily to accommodate the cock impaling him, feeling his own throbbing against the casing of the ship's core. It was still quite the girth to take in at once and as the head of the other rubber dragon's cock popped inside him Atreyu let out a sharp gasp.

As inch after inch of that synthetic member slipped inside him it seemed to trigger a second transformation, the rubber dragon feeling his insides start to shift more than just being spread open by Renzyl's cock. His stomach, which had already gone from a flat, almost sunken thing to a set of washboard abs, gurgled and rippled from a warm filling sensation. It quickly started to spread and by the time Renzyl had hilted the other rubber dragon it had suffused throughout his entire body. It was hard for Atreyu to focus on what it was with the intense pleasure coming from the slow, deep thrusts of the male behind him but after one particularly hard penetration he felt his fingers clench and his new claws dig into the casing.

Atreyu gasped as he thought he had broken it, but that's when he saw gelatinous tendrils push their way out of his rubber skin and into the computer itself. It was like his fingers were filled with the stuff and as he was pressed harder into the core the more he realized it wasn't just his hands that had been affected. Everywhere he felt the tingling sensation, which was most of his body at that point, seemed to have more give than before and when he looked down his proud pectorals were flattened with every thrust only to have them spring right back. He also began to feel something else flood him too, whatever corruptive goo Renzyl had been pumping into his body was now spreading into the computer and relaying information back into him.

As Atreyu's body began to grow relaxed, particularly his face as it became a look of pure bliss, multihued glowing lines began to spread down his fingers and into his arms. He was becoming exactly what he wanted, a productive and essential member of the ship's crew as more rubber goo began to push its way out of his mouth and ears only to start covering his head. Through the haze of lust and pulses of pleasure Atreyu could sense the ship's systems flooding his brain, his subconscious molding him into the perfect receptacle to serve the ship. As the amount of data flooded him Atreyu began to make choices, guided by the corruptive nature of the dragon still thrusting into him as the lines continued to spread over his form.

It turned out the program known as Atreyu was taking up a lot of storage space, space that dragon creature could use to maximize the efficiency of the Voidblade. As the computer core started to shift and morph the rubber dragon felt his own cock get pulled into it, stimulating him as he began to dump information he no longer needed. His memories, his life, his personality... all of that was not necessary for a proper drone to function as he felt the pleasure building in his groin. At the same time the rubbery goo that was oozing out of his filled head formed into a mask, smoothing over his features as the visor that had formed flickered to life.

Dragon drones didn't need anything like identifiers, the purple and green rubber creature processed as he mentally rewrote his own internal programming. The latex on his body rippled as he became a blank slate, another part of the ship that was designed to serve and obey. With no one else on the ship those permissions belonged to Renzyl, the drone shuddering with a reward as pleasure for his new thoughts. This was what it was meant to be, it thought as all the unnessary data pooled into his throbbing cock, leaving only the new rubber engineering drone standing there being thrusted into.

"Permissions required," the drone said in a monotone, its groin planted flush against the port created in the core. "Commence data dump?"

"Granted," Renzyl replied, feeling every muscle in the creature's body spasm with pure orgasm as the unneeded data was put away into the core where it could be stored, allowing the drone to service the ship with maximum efficiency. When the rubber dragon was done he pulled back and allowed the drone to do the same, watching the colors shift in the glowing lines that formed circuit patterns on his rubber skin containing its nanite gel. It stood there for a few more seconds and announced that it had ran a diagnostics and assumed control of all major systems, the lights flickering back to life.

"Well there we have it," Renzyl stated as he clicked off the flashlight, handing it back to the Voidblade Engineering and Maintenance Drone who went to put it in its proper place. "I suppose it might be fun to tool around in this ship, maybe figure out what entity was powerful enough to slip my notice and take the crew." He turned back to the rubber dragon drone with a grin on his face as he could feel the lust already growing in creature. "What do you think drone, ready to explore the stars together, maybe find a few more crew members to integrate?"
