When a morning swim ends up rendering the python in the water as host to an alien parasite it kicks off the start of an invasion. Unlike most aliens however these creatures don't have any sort of hive mind and psychic network, but fortunately they do have an efficient means of sharing information with one another and spreading to other hosts.

In the early hours of the morning most of the small residential area that the sun started to shine over was still asleep, those that were up were getting ready for a day of work or to possibly start their day with a bit of exercise or breakfast. For Nathan his was a bit of both; ever since he had been relegated to work at home he found he no longer needed get up so early in order to make the busy hour long commute to the office, but since he was so used to it he had decided that he would just spend the extra time for himself. It didn't hurt that he was one of the few houses on the block that had his own pool, which meant that he got to take an early morning dip and still be in his chair and working before his scales dried. As the python slid open the door and walked outside however he was unaware that someone, or something rather, had already splashed into his waters the night before as he walked to the stairs of the pool and lowered himself inside.

The python shivered slightly as he sank in up to his waist into the cold pool water and shivered slightly as he tried to get his body to acclimate to the temperature. He had been meaning to put in a water heater at some point, especially now that he was swimming so early, but he had just never gotten around to it. Since it was a salt water pool there was also a few extra requirements that had to go into it, though if he had the entity that was in the water with him might not have survived being there for so long. The snake man didn't even notice he wasn't alone in the pool however as he finally got used to the water enough to push off the wall and start doing his laps.

For the next half an hour the early morning silence was only broken by the sound of the man swimming back and forth through the water, then when Nathan heard his alarm he went to the side of the pool and hopped back up. As he let the water drip off of his scaly body he put a finger in his ear hole, hissing slightly as he felt something sloshing around inside of it. It remained persistent however and even as he took his towel and walked back towards his house he tried to bang on the other side of his head only for it to remain, then put his towel against it to no avail. That was going to bug him all day, he thought to himself as he walked inside and slide the door behind him, finally pulling the cloth back and missing the tiny black spot that appeared on it as he tossed it aside and started to prepare breakfast.

As the day went on Nathan tried to forget about it and continue on with his work, but as he typed in the lines of programming for his job he had to take off his earphones more often than once. It was no longer just feeling like there was water in his ear, it was like the entire canal was full to the point where it almost made him feel stuffy. More than once he had to stop what he was doing because he couldn't even hear out of it and he had to press his hands against his eyes in order to stop them from going fuzzy. It made him wonder if he had potentially just picked himself up an ear infection, something that he wasn't looking forward to if he did. He managed to get to the end of his workday and as soon as the clock hit his end time he apologized to everyone else on the chat for ducking out early and then closed his computer.

The second that Nathan stood up from his computer he knew something was very wrong as he nearly toppled over and had to grab his desk for support. It felt like he was walking on stilts and as he continued to make his way towards the door he found himself breathing heavily. Had he done some serious damage to his ear just from getting a little water in it, he wondered as he staggered his way to the bathroom, and mentally berated himself for not getting a pair of ear plugs when they were recommended. As he got inside his hand continued to press against his affected ear and it started to almost feel swollen, which prompted the python to go to the mirror and at least try to see if he could see what was inside it before he had to go to the hospital.

Once he turned on the lights Nathan took a second and braced himself against the sink, breathing heavily as he tried to turn his head only to feel a stiffness in his neck. This was something that he needed to go to the hospital for, he rationalized, but first he wanted to see if he could find anything there that might tell him what happened. When he finally did get to the point where he could see his ear hole he leaned in and could see that the area around his ear did look swollen, but as he touched the area the scaly skin gave easily and felt a bit squishy. His eyes narrowed at the strange condition before they widened when they saw the bulging flesh shift and move...

...before a shiny black tentacle pushed its way out of it.

The sight put Nathan into a panic as he nearly tripped backwards only to suddenly feel his feet right themselves and keep him from falling over. With him seeing it he could feel it now, and that wasn't the only place as he felt something similar in his other ear hole as well. It was as if a lightbulb had turned on and the python could suddenly see what had actually been happening to him all day, or at least ever since the rubbery alien had managed to push into his ear during his laps in the pool. The serpent could see and feel his neck throbbing as well and when he took off his shirt he gasped as he could see tendrils underneath his finely-scaled flesh, especially along his spine when he turned to look.

Nathan felt his heart racing in his chest as he realized something was terribly wrong, though as he raced back from the bathroom to his kitchen where he had left his cell phone he found himself walking better. Since he couldn't trust his blurred vision to allow him to drive to the hospital he needed to call the emergency number, but as he stared down at the screen and the nine little spots that indicated to him to put in the code to unlock it he found his finger hovering over the screen. A dull ache could be felt in the back of his head as he tried to search his mind for the code, something that he had entered into this device hundreds of times, but for some reason the pattern escaped his mind. He let out a gasp and fell forward as he suddenly felt his lower body go numb, his feet sliding along the ground before he managed to bring them back under his body as he continued to look at his screen... trying to remember what he was doing with his phone in the first place.

As his eyes read the emergency function on the phone Nathan gasped as it came to him once more, pressing the function and watching the screen flash before displaying a number of buttons that could call fire, police, medical, and a few other services. What he needed was an ambulance, but as he looked at the symbols on the phone he found himself frowning. Was it... was it the cross that he needed to push? Or was it the squiggly lines that had the bottom as an oval and tapered upwards into a jagged tip? Even as he continued to look at the phone he suddenly felt his head throb again, dropping his phone and bringing his hands up to his eyes as more tendrils coiled around his fingers underneath his scales while pulsating.

When Nathan's hands slid down his face he looked around the kitchen in confusion. He had gone in there for... something, but he couldn't remember what it was. As he felt something heavy in his hand and looked down to see that he was still holding his phone. Maybe he had intended to call someone, but as he tried to figure out who he couldn't think of anyone that he knew. Co-workers, friends, even family members became a blank spot and eventually he set the phone down before walking almost mechanically towards his bedroom as well. Nothing seemed familiar to the python as he made his way down the hall but he seemed to know where to go, his mind ignoring the pulsating tendrils that covered his body almost like a second circulatory system as the rubbery alien in his skull slithered its way into the empty crevices of his inner body to hijack it.

As he made his way down the hall he did notice something that had caused him to pause, seeing his pants tenting as well as his bare chest and stomach. Was he... about to have sex? The idea caused him to lick his lips as higher functioning deteriorated to more base functions as he fumbled with the button on his pants before he finally seemed to remember how to take them off. When he did get them, along with his underwear, slid down his legs he saw that he had a full erection that caused him to gasp and moan in pleasure. There was also something going on with his legs, but the tendrils that were snaking their way past his thighs and down his forearms were quickly forgotten as he began to stroke himself while going to bedroom once more.

By the time Nathan got back to his bedroom he could no longer feel the walls underneath his finger tips for the carpet under his feet. He staggered forward towards the bed as his vision dimmed and the ambient sounds disappeared, unable to identify them even if he could as he clutched onto his headboard. As he tried to get around to get into the bed he turned his head and jumped as he saw someone was standing in his room, though as he stared at the reflection of the naked python masturbating in the room he looked familiar to him. Who was he... as the python collapsed into the bed he found himself without any idea of who he was, and soon it became hard to even form thoughts together as the darkness encroached his eyes before he closed them completely. A few seconds later his entire body tensed and his hips shot upwards as he came, first with his normal white fluids before they became tinted darker and darker before the last shot that landed on his chest was the same inky black as the tentacle that had slid back into his ears.

The night passed and morning once more came around with the python doing little more than twitching and convulsing slightly, but when the alarm next to his bed went off the creature opened his eyes once more and stiffly got up. His hand went over and stopped the shrill beeping before he looked down at his scaly hands, bending them as any trace that something was inside of Nathan's body had disappeared. It had taken nearly an entire day but the alien entity had completely absorbed and assimilated the memories of the creature that had served as its first host, still feeling the tremors of the takeover as he went to the shower in order to wash the last of the evidence of the conversion that had dried on his belly scales. Nathan... a python programmer that worked at a mid-level company and had a few friends and decent financial sense, welcome information that the creature that had formed a layer of alien latex-like skin over the brain.

As it passed by the mirror that had confused the snake in the final throws of being assimilated the alien took a second to look at itself in the mirror, or rather the creature it had taken as the face in the reflection stared blankly back. While the information gathered in this first creature helped the alien get a lay of the land as far as the new planet it had landed on it immediately began to calculate how to assimilate others that would have more of what it needed. This python was merely the first node in the alien network that would eventually conquer the globe, and at the moment it knew that its survival was paramount on the finding and dissemination of information. As it continued to absorb and catalogue the thoughts and memories that the python had it went over to the kitchen in order to create breakfast, needing to make sure that this biological node remains healthy.

With the eggs and bacon cooking the alien looked over and saw the phone that laid face down on the countertop and picked it up, using the scaly finger to put in the pattern that unlocked it. When it opened up it saw the date was Friday, which with these creatures meant that soon they would have a break from when they would work in order to relax and engage in social activities. That would be perfect for it and scrolled down the list of contacts before he came across a number that had a smiling leopard face on it along with the name Blake. The possessed python pressed the call button, staring blankly ahead as it rang before his face suddenly became animated when the phone picked up on the other line.

"Hey Nathan," the voice said groggily on the other end. "What's up?"

"Are you still sleeping?" the alien said as he emulated Nathan, even the enthusiastic flipping of the eggs that he had gone back to cooking as he held the phone in his shoulder and head. "I thought your new shift meant that you had to actually get up early."

"They pushed that back a week," the voice on the other end said. "Speaking of which, what's up? Aren't you working today too?"

"Just about to head down to the code mines," the alien Nathan said as he poured himself a cup of coffee. "I was wondering if tomorrow you wanted to come over and hang out? It's supposed to get hot out and we could use the pool, there's not going to be a whole lot of days left where we can go swimming before I can cover it up."

There was a moment of pause on the other end and the python could heard the sound of cans being rustled around along with the feline moving while groaning slightly. "Uhh... yeah, looks like I'll be free for all of tomorrow for a change. I think Terry is also free, do you want me to give him a call and see if he's down too?"

"Uh, I can call him," the python replied, the guise faltering ever so slightly for the first time as the alien had to deviate from the usual script. "I'll see you tomorrow at noon." The leopard confirmed before hanging up, and as soon as the phone disconnected the slight smile on Nathan's face fell away and his eyes went glassy. While more information was always better the alien knew that it had its limits, and trying to take two new nodes at the same time would be impossible so it had no intention on calling the other man.

Once it had finished making breakfast it wolfed down the meal before going to Nathan's office, logging into work and using the information on coding that it had gained from its host to continue to compile the program that he had been working on. With only a chat room that he had to respond to the alien kept the python's body passive, to the point where anyone that would have looked in might have thought that he was a robot as he quickly and methodically typed away at the keys. It needed to conserve its energy for the next day, it's hand reaching down between the host's legs and feeling its essence starting to coalesce within the area. In order to assimilate the next node it was going to need to need to make a direct connection, which was the reason that it had decided on Blake in the first place.

The next day Blake knocked on the door of his friend's house at half past noon, a twelve pack of beer in one hand and a grocery bag with snacks and even more liquor in the other. When the door opened he saw the python standing there already dressed to go into the pool, the bright blue speedo hugging his scaly hips as he invited the feline inside. Once they were in the leopard saw that the python had made lunch for them too, which was great as he informed Nathan that he had missed lunch. Nathan just smiled at him and said that he had an inkling that he might need some food in his system as he also tossed the leopard one of the beers that he had brought.

After having his fill Blake took his beer and the rest of the twelve pack and went out to the pool deck with them, asking Nathan if he had a cooler and also a swimsuit since he had forgotten his. The cobra nodded and disappeared into the house, coming back with both as the leopard suddenly found a black speedo being tossed at him. "What, don't you have any regular swimsuits?" Blake asked as he caught the piece of fabric and stretched it out. "I know you like these nut-huggers but I prefer something that allows my bits to breathe."

"It's either that or you can go in naked," Nathan replied with a slight smirk on his muzzle. "Either way you're going to be showing off for me, so I don't mind which one you choose."

As Blake looked back at the python he saw a lustful gleam in his eyes and it prompted the leopard to get a grin of his own before saying the speedo was fine and went into the house to change. As he went into the bathroom and looked out at the snake he was slightly surprised at the sudden affection, while they had fooled around a bit while they were in college together they had never officially dated and after a while Nathan had told him that it might not have been the best idea to become friends with benefits. That had been fine for Blake since he considered the friendship more important than the sex and up until this point his friend had never approached him to start back up, but today it seemed that he was dealing with a particularly horny serpent and wasn't going to say no to that as he had to tuck himself into the speedo from getting aroused at the thought.

Once he had finished getting dressed, adjusting the fit of the black material against his furry hips, he went outside and was immediately greeted with another beer. The two sat on the sunning chairs and caught up a little on life, Nathan asking Blake about his job at the convenience store and party life while he reciprocated on the projects he had been working on. After a few hours and more than a few beers later the leopard had grown tired of waiting for the first move and went over to the other chair. Nathan let out a slight yelp as the other man practically sat on top of him and leaned in for a kiss, which to his relief he found reciprocated as the bulges of their speedos rubbed together.

"You sure you're up for starting this again?" Blake asked, his words slightly slurred as the buzz from the alcohol took effect as he gave the python a dopey grin.

"I am if you are," Nathan replied, standing up and causing the other man to slide off his scaly body before heading to the pool. "I did promise you a dip in the pool though."

This time it was the leopard that yelped as he suddenly found himself falling backwards, his furry form hitting the water with a loud splash as the cold water rushed around him. Once he had gotten over the shock the leopard immediately swam up to the surface, gasping from the sudden chill of the water as he saw the python dive in after him. "Ah great, now I got to worry about shrinkage," Blake said as he shook his head to get his wet hair out of his eyes, seeing the grinning python swimming around him. "It's going to be like thirty minutes now to dry myself off, I don't have scales like you and I don't want to get the bed wet."

"Who said we were going to use the bed?" Nathan said as he swam forward until he had gotten up to the other man, the two of them floating in the water as the python gave him a coy grin.

"Whoa, you mean out here?" Blake replied, giggling slightly until he saw the python nod his head. "Look at you being all bold, I remember when we had gone out into the middle of the woods and you wouldn't even let me give you a hand job. What about your neighbors?"

"That's what the fence is for," Nathan said as he saw the slightly drunk leopard grin at him, nuzzling his wet muzzle against the python before he felt the hands of the other man start to turn him around. "Go ahead and brace the wall, since it's my pool I think it's only fair that I get to go first."

Blake didn't have to be told twice as he shifted his body and put his arms up on the concrete, feeling the tilted side of the pool up against his bare chest and stomach as Nathan came up behind him. The leopard could already feel that his friend was hard as a rock as his own started to stretch the fabric of his speedo and press against the wall. He felt the hands of the python rub up and down his back and shoulders and it caused the feline to relax even further, letting out a small moan as he felt one hand dip beneath the water and pull down the back of his speedo until it completely exposed his butt to the water. Now this was a Saturday, the leopard thought to himself as the tip of the python's cock began to already start to push up against his hole, drinking and eating with his friend along with a bit of casual sex in a pool.

As Nathan began to push his tip to spread open the feline in front of him the alien within was making other preparations, using the seed that used to store the genetic data of this creature and manipulated it to essentially not only create a copy of himself but also all the information that had been inside of this node's mind. All that was stored in the balls of the host and would be transferred to the potential node in front of him through the use of anal sexual intercourse. While it could have used the mouth as well the past memories that Nathan had of their encounters showed that the leopard was a switch that preferred to be a bottom and enjoyed taking it in the tailhole, which was the opening that the alien needed as he began to shove the throbbing tool inside.

As the python's cock spread open his insides Blake let out a loud huff, thought the alcohol had helped to relax him and allow for the insertion he still found himself squirming slightly as the pleasure suffused its way through his system. "Oh man, I forgot how good you felt inside of me," Blake said as he tried to spread his legs out more to aid in Nathan getting inside of him. "Last time we did this we were at my parents house, they had gone off for the night and thought that we were just going to play video games. That was... um..."

"Spring break," Nathan replied, the grin on his face faltering as the alien within worked to get the shaft of his maleness as deep inside so that the transfer could begin. "We had just come home from college." The leopard nodded and then groaned again as the python practically pinned him against the wall, thrusting his hips forward until he had completely wiggled his way deep inside the feline before starting to pump him full of latex alien data.

"Yeah... it was right before I dropped out..." Blake replied, his head leaning against the side of the pool as he basked in the pleasure of the thick cock inside of him. "But I had to because... I... why did I drop out again?"

"It doesn't matter," the alien stated, his guise of being Nathan slipping as he continued to feel the data transferring into the new node. By this point it was too late, it could already feel itself inside of the other creature through the link that had been created between them as he found himself thrusting harder and causing the other man's furry body to bounce slightly. "Just relax Blake, let the pleasure wash over you."

The leopard found himself nodding as he felt the other man plunging even deeper inside of him, even though with the cascades of pleasure came with it a strange sense of detachment. As the two continued to float there with the ripples of water growing larger from the python Blake looked over at the cooler and wished that he had brought it over so that he could get another... another... he frowned slightly as he could bring up the name or the image of what was inside that blue box as he brought a hand to his head. "I... I feel really strange..." Blake said, unaware of the tendrils pushing up the wet fur around his spine and also spreading throughout his entire body from where he was being penetrated. "It's... getting hard to think..."

"It's just what you drank," Nathan replied, though the emotion had drained out of his voice save for the pleasure as the alien felt the download reaching its conclusion. There was little need for it to keep up the ruse, not when it could see the confusion in Blake's eyes as he looked at his own hands. "Everything will be better soon, try not to think."

The leopard just let out a few little gasps as the pleasure permeated his every sense, providing a smokescreen for the assimilation taking place in his body as his head began to tilt back. "Damn, you feel so good inside me..." Blake said as he swallowed hard, the back of his neck starting to bulge out as the leopard began to hump against the wall. "Remember the last time... we... last time..."

The words of the leopard became more disjointed by the second as his hands began to reach out, as though trying to grasp onto the last strands of his thoughts as his hips began to hump backwards intot he python. With the assimilation and mass data transfer almost complete the alien's guise had completely broken, letting out a hiss of pure pleasure as he assimilated another into the fold while Blake groaned loudly. For anything looking in they might have seen two lovers about to reach their climax, but as Blake's eyes became unfocused and his jaw started to go slack as Nathan reached down and pressed the leopard's body flush against his. With his cock hilted the alien reached the end of the transfer with an intense orgasm, the python's back arching as he continued to hold the feline to him.

Blake let out one more extremely loud moan and in the reflection of the house window Nathan could see his eyes widen and his mouth open, the leopard's cock throbbing hard before it shot out its first load of assimilated seed. As their mutual orgasm rocked their bodies the two just remained pressed together with the python's toned chest pressing against the leopard's lithe back, the alien watching as the facial features and ears twitched in the feline as tendrils could be seen once in a while slithering around the face and skull of the other man. Eventually Blake's head slumped forward his eyes closing as Nathan felt the last of what he needed to pump into the new node leaving his body through his cock. Even as the orgasm faded Nathan could still feel the leopard twitching in his grasp, feeling the muscles tense and spasm as the alien finished taking control of the new node completely while a cloud of black from the leopard's orgasm dissipated into the pool water.

The two floated there for a while longer before the leopard opened his eyes once more. They looked about for a few seconds before he turned around and once more the two embraced in a passionate kiss, or at least that what they wanted it to look like as the alien felt something besides the tongue of the leopard push into his serpentine snout. It was only a little bit of a data download but it gave the message that the alien was looking for; a new node had been created and the entity within the leopard had absorbed the information that was within the new host. Even though the transfer had been finished and there was nothing left the alien found himself giving the other man a few more humps with his cock before pulling out and tucking away his softening member back into his speedo.

"I think I'm starting to get a little waterlogged," Blake said with a grin once they had finished their kiss. "Mind if we take this little party inside?" Though Nathan smiled back and said that was fine it was mostly for show, even though it had taken the leopard out in public it was only because it was an enticement and if there were potentially people watching they had to keep up the act. The two swam over and walked up the stairs while pulling up their speedos to cover themselves once more, the leopard holding the python's hand with his own as they quickly walked back into house while still dripping wet.

As soon as the two got inside and closed the door behind them they dropped the act, Blake's face losing its drunken grin as they gave each other a vacant stare. "Node is ready for processing," the alien within the feline said. "There is not as much information in this one as yours but it would be useful to disseminate."

The other alien nodded the python's head and got Nathan down on his knees, watching as the leopard pulled down the speedo in the front and pulled out the cock within. Since the alien had already assimilated one creature before and had the time to properly seed this new node the process had been quicker, though it would likely not be the same for others as it opened its muzzle. For the moment though it needed to know everything that the new node knew, and that meant that the data had to be transferred from the leopard to the python. Since this wasn't an assimilation it didn't need as much recovery time, though it would likely take much longer as the leopard node stepped forward and pushed the throbbing tool into his maw.

Once it had pushed passed his lips Nathan began to suck on it, licking the tongue around the sensitive flesh to provide pleasure for the other man. Though it was not necessary for the transfer of information itself the alien needed to make sure that they remained aroused long enough to simulate the orgasm that they used in order to pass, which meant going through the motions of having oral sex even though it was merely for the transfer of large amounts of data. As the python brought his hands up to the wet, furry thighs of the leopard and pushed his muzzle down deep it could already start to get everything that the new node had acquired from its host. As it had gotten from Nathan's memories Blake was a leopard who worked at the convenience store near his house and would often hit the bars after his late shift, and as it got that information it found that this feline had quite the number of connections and information on others in his area that would be useful to it.

For the next half an hour the python continued to suck on the cock of the leopard while kneeling there, keeping the node stimulated with all the tricks it had learned from deep-throating to fingering him until finally it was clear that it had gained all the information that it had at the moment. Eventually it brought the leopard to another orgasm and as it did he could feel the alien fluid slide down into his throat, pulling back slightly as the python held onto the base and having some of the residue spurt onto his face. The leopard alien leaned down and licked shiny black fluid off of the python's cheek before the alien Nathan did the same with the feline's cock. At this point both were feeling fatigue as the assimilation had taken a lot out of both of them and even if they wanted to neither of them would be able to get more, so the two nodes decided to rest their hosts and talk about what they were going to do next. Since it was just talking there was no need to do any measure of mass data transfer, but since there was no need for clothing the two sat naked opposite one another as they sat upright.

"We are going to do activate nodes that have more presence in this area," the alien python said. "This one had some decent knowledge of how computer systems work but with Blake we can potentially find others to spread that can help establish a foothold. We need to infiltrate security and also find a place where we can share information easily without having to go to the homes of one another."

"The convenience store can serve as the latter," the alien leopard replied. "At least for the time being since this one has taken a number of customers to the back for carnal activities." Nathan nodded as it brought up the memories it had just received and had a number of them in the back rooms of the store with the leopard often pantless and up against the wall or on his back. "One has to be careful though, these biological bodies are rather fragile and even with the full transfer I almost damaged this node by spreading too quickly."

"Yes, we're going to have to be very picky on how we proceed," Nathan replied. "The two of us will split up, we both have the same list of names that the two know and we can try and find an opening once we have recharged enough to assimilate again. We'll have to come up with a code so that we know who we've already assimilated and at the end of the week we'll all meet up at Blake's place of employment."

Even though they knew it was merely to share data the two aliens could see the members of the other twitch, their organic bodies responding to the idea of more sex even if it was just a means to transfer large amounts of data from one node to another. For the alien python it brought up the recently assimilated thought of casual sex, something that both of their nodes had done before, and that they were essentially doing the same thing. These creatures were well versed in non-procreation intercourse, especially since they both seemed to favor the same sex. It made finding and assimilating others easier as the cocks they possessed were efficient tools for the transfer, though as the two continued to look at one another they could see that they had been staring as the semi-hard shaft of the other before Nathan suggested it would be best for them to separate for the night.

The two both gave a small nod of acknowledgment to one another before they went and finished up the food that had been prepared, both of them eating in silence as they filled the biological shells in order for them to function before they left. As soon as they parted ways Nathan went over to his bed and lied down in it, covering up before closing his eyes. The alien within needed to conserve as much strength as possible and with no need for things like entertainment and the inability to convert anyone making socialization unnecessary it decided to sleep. No doubt the other node would be doing the same thing, though the two weren't connected anymore, and as it stared at the ceiling it found itself looking forward to more assimilations before it finally shut its cognitive processes for the night...

************

The next night Blake sat at the counter of the convenience store that he worked at, flipping through a magazine like he had always done before as he waited for someone to come into the store. It was starting to creep past ten and with the bars crowd now in the bars and the work crowd at home it meant there weren't a lot of people that would be coming in to get anything and often meant he could slack off. For the assimilated creature however this was the exact opposite of what it wanted; ever since it had been converted the alien creature was looking to find the next best node to spread to, trying to find someone that would either provide a lot of valuable information or be in a position that could help should the need arise. While there were a few cops that had come in as well as several army personnel they either came in groups or wouldn't even look at him, and on the flip side those that the leopard could lure in were those that the alien creature wasn't about to waste the energy assimilating yet.

It was coming time to be the end of Blake's shift and as the alien was about to consider going to the bars next it heard the chime ring as someone came inside. Even with the shelves blocking the way it could tell that it was a bovine creature with the curved horns that stuck up in the air. The leopard watched as the pair of horns made its way to the drinks case, then over to a few rows to where they kept the energy bars before it finally made its way to the counter. When the customer finally entered into the alien's line of vision he saw that it was in fact a bull and he was wearing a uniform that was stretched tight over his muscular frame.

"Private security, huh?" Blake said as he gave the bull a smile while he started to ring up the cans of energy drink and power bars that he was buying.

"Temporary gig," the bull replied. "I usually work mall security downtown but I'm moonlight for some extra cash at the rock concert they're having this weekend over near the riverwalk. Double the work but double the money."

"I can imagine that would be very tiring," Blake stated as he tapped the energy drink can. As the alien continued to make small talk it scanned through the information that it had from both it's and Nathan's minds, but neither of them had even interacted with this person and knew nothing about them. "So I'm just going to see you around these few days when you come to pick up your caffeine fix?"

"Unless you try to break in the back gate this weekend," the bull said with a chuckle. "Part of the reason I need all these is because it's so boring, sometimes I wish someone would test their luck but so far no takers. The big concert is today though so maybe I will get lucky after all."

"If not I can always come down and see you after work," Blake replied, the bull looking at him as the leopard put his hands to his face. "Not to get lucky, that is! I mean, you're handsome and all, or... what I meant to say..." Blake just put his hands on the sides of his face and then pointed to the card reader. "That will be twenty-seven fifty."

Blake could hear a chuckle from the bull as he looked up to see the man take out his wallet and pay for his stuff, the leopard quickly hopping to attention and bagging up his items for him. "Hey, I wouldn't mind the company if you got nothing better to do than chat with a bored bull at an old fence," the bull replied. "My name is Gerald, by the way, just don't let me catch you sneaking around or else I might have to put you in cuffs."

The leopard found himself perking up as the bull gave him a wink and then proceeded to walk out of the door, hearing the chime once more ring out as they left. The alien was very interested in this one; not only did it seem like he was flirting but he also held a position authority, even if it was in a very limited area. That might allow them to start to move their way into the mall as well, an area with a lot of turnover where people going in and out all the time would not be noticed like it might in a convenience store with cameras everywhere. While there would be cameras inside the mall too if they got the bull it would mean that they had limited control of them, potentially more, but first it had to make sure that it could assimilate the creature first.

Meanwhile Nathan found himself at a restaurant looking over a menu, the alien within trying to decide what to order that would allow him the longest time to sit at the outdoor table he sat at. It had quickly realized that the python was a bit of a shut-in and while it could call in other co-workers or friends like it had for Blake it didn't want to make its home as the point of conversion for so many people, plus most of them were fellow coders and it didn't need that information anymore. So after looking through several websites it decided to go for a walk on the riverwalk that was a few miles away from its house, the python eventually finding itself at a café that was open rather late. While it would have been easier to find people earlier in the evening it didn't want to risk the crowds, even if it could mimic the python's actions perfectly there were still too many unknowns for it to confidently walk around.

"Hey, did you decide what you wanted yet or do you need a few more minutes?" the waiter said as Nathan looked up at him. It was a grey-furred wolf, someone lean, probably only a year or two younger than its current host, and neither Nathan nor Blake had encountered this creature before.

"Sorry, it just all looks really good," Nathan said with a sheepish grin. "I don't suppose you have anything to recommend?"

"Well the special is the house hot chocolate and a cinnamon biscotti," the waiter replied. "If were me personally I would have to say that the cook makes a mean three-cheese grilled cheese and I would pair it up with the hot apple cider. I know that normally it's a winter dish but the nights are getting chilly, plus we buy in our biscotti so unless you want to lose a fang I probably wouldn't."

"That would certainly be unpleasant," Nathan replied with a big smile. "You've convinced me, I'll go with the grilled cheese and the cider."

"Great choice," the wolf replied as he wrote down the order. "My name is Daniel by the way, so if you need anything just go up to the front counter and ask for me." As the waiter went back into the café Nathan watched him walk and the alien python saw that he had a slight sway in his tail. A waiter at a café... it was a lot like Blake's job, but with the leopard moving to day shift it was going to be harder for them to use the convenience store as a meeting place if they had to do it when it was packed with people that might miss him.

It would also help expand their reach of people, the alien thought as it sipped its water as a reminder to keep up the routine of being Nathan. There was a bit of overlap between Nathan and Blake's memories and with most of them belonging to the leopard there was little for it to do but sit and try to find suitable candidates elsewhere. Plus this creature might have a lot of important information, it wouldn't know until it assimilated him into being a node and for that to happen it would have to link with him. As the thought of doing so crossed its mind it suddenly needed to shift its positioning, letting out a soft sigh as it had underestimated how responsive these hosts were to any sort of stimulation.

First it had to find out if this would be an easy conversion to have, needing to know if this creature behaved like Nathan and Blake did and enjoyed the same sex as well as casual sex. It seemed that for the latter it would make it easy not only for them to initially assimilate them but also if they have a reputation for it to not have it be strange. It also had the possibility that they would know others who were into the same thing, which with their limited numbers and power would turn out to be quite the boon. The alien python continued to sit there in silence before it suddenly had a plate set down in front of it, smelling the scent of toasted bread, cheese, and apples as the steaming hot drink was placed next to it.

"There you go," the wolf said as he gave Nathan a grin. "Is there anything else that I can get for you today?"

"I think that will about do it for now, thanks," Nathan replied with a nod, letting the wolf leave before starting to eat the food that was brought to it. The alien made sure to take measured bites and to consume the food slowly, which from what the memories of the python were concerned was a delicious meal, and managed to keep going until most of the other patrons had left and the riverwalk crowds had significantly thinned when he called the waiter back over. "That was delicious, thank you."

"Hey, no problem," the wolf replied as he began to pick up the plates. "You definitely seemed like you're enjoying it, didn't even have the heart to tell you we were closing soon."

"Oh no, I didn't keep you, did I?" Nathan asked in concern.

"Nah, you came in just under the wire," Daniel said with a wink as he put the check down in front of him. "If you want you can come with me and pay the check so that I can get out of here at a decent time."

Nathan nodded and the two walked back into the café, which was just as empty as the outside deck as the wolf went over to put the dishes in the tray before turning back towards the register and taking the python's card. "So I haven't seen you around here before," Daniel said as he ran the card. "You new around here?"

"You could say that," Nathan replied. "Might have just found my new favorite spot to eat." As the wolf grinned at the python the alien within suddenly found that it had a major problem on its hands. It hadn't realized until that moment that this host was missing a crucial element that it needed in order for it to succeed...

This host is TERRIBLE at flirting.

Fortunately it had assimilated a host that could make up for that skill set, using the information it had gained from Blake to try and pick up the slack. "So do you work here closing most nights?" Nathan replied as the python leaned in, putting an elbow against the display case as the wolf nodded. "I can totally understand, I also used to work nights too. I suppose at least here you close early enough so that you don't have to deal with things like drunks and pervs."

Another borrowed memory from the leopard, but it was proving useful as the wolf handed it back its card. "It doesn't have to be night for the pervs to come out," Daniel said with a slight laugh. "Sometimes I think that people think that we're out there just be their toys, and if I'm going to get groped or have someone's hand go up my shirt then I want it to be someone that I actually want to do that. Plus... well, I think I talked your ear off enough, you probably don't want to hear my griping."

"I don't mind," Nathan said as he watched the wolf pick up the tray of dishes. "What if I walked you home and you could vent more about it to me?"

"That's sweet of you," Daniel replied before he started to walk back to the kitchen. "I already got someone escorting me home, but I hope that you come back again and maybe we can talk a little more."

Nathan nodded and waved the wolf off, then started to head back towards the Riverwalk and back to his house. Though the alien hadn't managed to assimilate someone else it had gotten a lead; the wolf appeared to be somewhat open sexually and it seemed like it would know where they work since they mentioned they closed every night. As it analyzed this new data that it got it came to the conclusion that the wolf was going to be its next target, and if it took a little longer to get this one it just made the alien latex within stronger as it got pent up. It just hoped that it wouldn't take too long...

That weekend was the big rock concert and as music began to pump out from the stage and the roar of the crowd could be heard it was all background noise for Gerald as he popped the top of his next energy drink and began to down the contents. He had already gone through three of them and two of the power bars that he had bought from the nearby convenience store and by this point the taste was beginning to wear him out, but after three days of standing guard over a rotted fence that was in the back of the field that the stage was built on the last thing he needed to do was lose his pay because he had fallen asleep and someone had snuck in. At least one good thing came from it, he thought to himself as he remembered the bashful leopard he had met that manned the counter, and wondered if perhaps he should have asked for their number even though they had just met.

Without even realizing it Gerald had drained yet another can and sighed as he let out a burp, then tossed it behind him with the others that were there. "Hey there handsome," a familiar voice said that suddenly caused him to stand at attention, only to see that it was the leopard from earlier that walked towards them holding a bag. "I just got off shift and I heard that there was a bored security guard named Gerald around here that was going to get rot gut from drinking way too many energy drinks, so I thought that I would come by and give him a few items from the hot food tray that didn't sell."

"I think I know where you might find them," Gerald said with a chuckle as he walked over, huffing the air as the smell of the actual food that had been brough caused his mouth to practically water. "I knew that I should have bought real food but I'd figure that I would wait until I was home. You are an angel."

Blake handed the bull a shrimp egg roll and he took a piece of pizza for himself, the two talking while the dull roar of the music and the crowd could be heard in the background. "So does anyone come back here and check up on you?" Blake asked after they had finished the last of the food, both the leopard and the bull tossing the last of the wrappers in with the empty energy cans, power bar wrappers, and bottles of water. "I think I've been here for an hour and I haven't even seen a pair of headlights."

"Nah, no one is probably even going to think of coming back here until the concert is over and they have to unload everything," Gerald said as he sat in his chair patting his belly. "I shouldn't have eaten so much, I think I'm about to go into a food coma and there's still two hours left of the show. You've gone from angel to devil in my book Blake, tempting me with all that tasty food."

"A devil, huh?" Blake replied, grinning as he reached over and pressed a hand against the muscular chest of the other male, toying with one of the buttons. "Perhaps I could tempt you with something else then. Maybe a little dessert to finish off your meal."

"Ohhhh you are a naughty kitty," Gerald said in response, sitting up a bit as Blake could see the outline of the hefty cock that was trapped within become more defined with the head starting to push up towards the waistband. "I can't though, we'll be caught!"

"By who?" Blake shot back as he unbuttoned the shirt, exposing the thick pectorals and washboard abs of the bull. "Damn, you are stacked, are all mall cops like you?"

"Only the ones that care about their body," Gerald stated as he tried to stand up, only for Blake to push him back down and pull off his shirt completely at the same time and leave him completely bare-chested. "This is insane, even if this is some abandoned back alley no one uses it just takes one person to come down this way to get me fired."

Blake responded by leaning forward and kissing Gerald on the lips, their muzzles entwined in a deep kiss as the leopard played around with the bar piercing in the nipple of the bigger man. When the two broke both were panting slightly as a single line of saliva connected them. "Alright, screw it," Gerald said as he started to pull down his pants. "Let's do this."

As the bull stripped out of his guard uniform the leopard did the same, exposing his lithe body to the air as he pulled off the shorts that he had been wearing with no underwear on underneath. By the time the guard had gotten his pants around his hooves Blake had already started to stroke his thick cock, which even by bull's standard was very big. When Gerald started to stand up Blake pushed him back down, the metal underneath his bare butt creaking slightly as the leopard got on top of him. For the bull he thought that he had just won the lottery with the lithe spotted-furred creature climbing on his lap, but for the alien possessing the leopard it had found a way to make data transfer more efficient.

"I think you might just be big enough to make this work," Blake said as he stood up with his legs around the bull's thighs, both of them panting even more as he took the head of the thick cock and began to push it between his cheeks. "I just hope all those muscles don't limit your flexibility." Before Gerald could ask what that meant Blake popped the tip of the bull's member inside of him with ease, his hole stretching around it as the leopard kept himself steady. After taking a second to get acclimated to it being inside of his tailhole the feline lowered himself down, taking the thick shaft up inside him a few more inches so that it wouldn't pop out and that he could brace himself on the ground for what was next.

As Gerald tried to muffle his moans of pleasure from the tight walls clamping around his steel-hard shaft he suddenly felt the leopard grab his horns, pulling him forward and bending him downwards. He suddenly felt his snout bump against something and realized that it was Blake's cock, the smaller but still sizable shaft bobbing up and down right in front of his face as the movement caused the leopard to sink slightly further down on his own maleness. It hadn't been something he done before but he was willing to try it for the one that had impaled himself on his rather sizable tool, opening his mouth and using his tongue to try and draw it inside. At first he just played around with it and though it was causing those silken walls around his cock to clamp down the feline began to grow more insistent until Gerald suddenly found his maw getting stuffed.

As Blake let out moans of pleasure the alien within finally got what he had been looking for, using the grip on his horns the leopard began to thrust his hips upward while initiating the data download and assimilation of the big bull beneath him. When the black alien latex started to spurt into his maw Gerald tried to pull back in surprise only to find himself locked in with the leopard pushing him practically down to the heft while still keeping himself completely impaled on the shaft behind him. With his hips thrusting forward into the bull's maw it was also causing him to slide back and forth on the cock inside of him as he heard the hooved feet start scraping the ground underneath. As the alien continued to push even deeper, still keeping aware of having the bull inside him, he could start to see tendrils begin to push out the hide of the bull as he let out muffled grunts of confusion and pleasure as the alien seed drained down into his throat and was absorbed into his body.

"Now this is what I call a bucking bronco!" Blake said as he felt the upswelling of his own intense pleasure rise in his body while continuing to feed the bull more data and alien fluid. By this point the security guard's eyes had rolled back into his head and suddenly the leopard felt the hands of the other man grab him by the hips. At first the alien thought that the bull might have managed to realize that his memories and thoughts were being absorbed and added to, but as he found himself getting pushed downwards it was clearly something else as every fiber in Gerald's body tensed.

The explosion of seed that came from the bull's cock had surprised even the alien that was riding it, not only from what Gerald had but also the data that came from being assimilated being pumped into him at the same time. The result almost brought the leopard off his feet as the naked bull continued to writhe and buck, this time as a result of his orgasm from becoming another node for the alien as shiny black goo began to drip from his mouth and the rear end of the feline. It didn't take long for the alien creature to reach an orgasm of his own after he finished its data transfer, his back arching not only from the climax that came with the assimilation but also because it let go of the horns and as the bull slumped back into his chair it caused the smaller naked man to slide down on the goo-covered cock until the head was pushing out his already bloated stomach.

Even with the download complete Blake continued to sit on the cock of the other male, still getting tidbits of data as he had gotten nearly the entirety of its sizable length inside of him. Plus the feeling of the tight walls around the throbbing shaft as the creature underneath twitched while tendrils of the new rubber alien slid over those muscles was extremely arousing for it. Suddenly the alien leopard knew all sorts of things as it absorbed the data being given to it, fighting styles and gun training along with the procedures of the mall and those that guard it flooding the alien's databanks. Along with it came knowledge of the guards, many of the shopkeepers, and even some regular mall patrons that would all be useful for them as the alien being that was Gerald opened its eyes and let out a slight gasp.

A few days of holding back had rendered the alien quite potent it seems, the alien leopard thought as he leaned forward and licked the droplets of shiny black liquid from the bull's mouth. With no one around neither felt the need to keep up the charade, and they also needed to make sure to clean up the evidence of their encounter as the leopard shifted its body around so that the new alien bull could clean its furred thighs and rear while it did the same on the still half-hard cock that was jutting up into the air. Once they had completely licked each other clean the two silently picked up their clothes and got dressed once more, the bull going back to sitting on the chair while the leopard picked everything up that would have indicated someone else was there and left. With the knowledge of the meet-up and the code that had been devised already transferred to the other male there was little that the alien leopard needed to do but go back to his home and wait until tomorrow to see if his python counterpart did any better.

Meanwhile a day earlier on the Riverwalk Nathan had once more finished his meal, this time opting for something sweeter in the former of a three-layer chocolate raspberry cake, and waited for Daniel to once more come over and give him his check. He had gone there for a few days now and though it seemed like they were making process every time he offered to take him home or to spend more time with him the wolf would decline. With the meet-up of the nodes coming soon to share information it had wondered if it was just going to have to make due with whatever the alien leopard masquerading as Blake found as he drank the last of the milk as well. Once again it had waited until closing, which was later this time as the weekend fast approached.

"You keep this up and you're going to turn into a regular," Daniel said as he took the empty plate and glass and set them on the back. "What keeps bringing you back here? It can't be the food, the cook's not that good."

"Don't let him hear you say that," Nathan said as he handed the credit card once more to the wolf.

"Oh, he already left for the night," Daniel replied. "I get to close up by myself, hopefully getting home sometime before morning if there isn't too big a mess back there."

"I see..." the python said, the alien within sensing this was his time to make a move. "If you need a hand I have time, I can help you out." As he leaned against the counter he was slightly shocked as he found himself the recipient of a suspicious glance. "What?"

"Are you sure that you're not from around here?" Daniel said as he leaned against the counter as well.

"That's the second time you've asked me that," Nathan replied. "Now I'm sensing there's some sort of story behind all this, why do you keep thinking that I'm lying to you about that?"

At first it seemed like the wolf was going to shut him down, but then finally he sighed as he scratched the pencil behind his triangular ear. "Alright, to make a long story really short a guy joked that if he could have sex with me in the alley he'd give me a hundred bucks," Daniel explained. "When I joked back and said that I wouldn't need the hundred bucks we... well, we went into the back alley and had sex. Next thing I know the guy hands me a hundred-dollar bill and proceeds to tell all his friends that I'm a prostitute."

"Did you keep the hundred?" Nathan asked.

"No, but I waited a day to give it back to him and by then the damage had already been done," Daniel said. "Now everyone thinks they can have me for money, but is it really bad that sometimes I just want to have a good screw somewhere because I'm horny? So when you started coming around and offering to help and all that I thought you might be trying to get with me because you thought I will do it for a price."

"Of course not, I don't think that at all," Nathan responded as he leaned in. "I think it's terrible that he started that rumor about you, and I'm sorry that you have to have that stigma about you. There's nothing wrong with a casual romp in the sheets or alley or whatever, but you should choose who its with."

The wolf seemed to brighten up at that, then turned slightly devious as he motioned over towards the back door. "So, you want to go and have that romp?" Daniel asked.

"What, in the alley?" Nathan replied in slight shock.

"No, of course not," Daniel said as he went over and opened the small door that divided the counter from the main room. "We have a couch in the office, or a desk if you prefer. So are you in or not?"

Nathan found himself nodding and quickly made his way over to follow the wolf towards the back room, walking in and suddenly getting a pair of lips pressed against his own before the door even shut behind them. Though there was a couch that the could use it appeared the amorous lupine had other ideas, shifting the papers that were on it aside and telling the python to pull off of his pants while he got rid of the apron. It didn't take long for the wolf to be completely naked and sat on the edge of the desk undoing the pants of the other man while the alien took off the shirt of its host. After all this work it was finally going to achieve its goal as it looked down and watched the lean lupine lay back on the desk and strike a seductive pose.

"Looks like wolf is on the menu tonight," the wolf said as he took his exposed foot and brushed it against the python's cock. "I'll be your server, as always." The alien needed no more invitation and stepped between the wolf's legs, and after Daniel reached over and fished something out of his discarded apron he squirted a dollop of lube onto his palm before stroking the shaft of the python. By this point the alien was panting both from the impending assimilation as well as how hot this other man was making it as he took the head and pushed inside.

Almost as soon as he stretched open the tight ring of muscle the alien python had begun to start the assimilation process, the tip leaking black fluid to the point where if he hadn't buried it inside of the other man it would have started to drip onto his fur along with the lube. The wolf let out a moan of enjoyment as his impromptu lover already started to push his hips forwards, trying to get deeper into the slightly smaller male as he felt the fluffy tail brush against his legs. "Don't feel like you need to speed up on my account," Daniel panted as he laid back. "Take as long as you want, let me really feel you throbbing inside of me."

This wolf is really horny, the alien thought to itself as it took its scaly fingers and began to stroke the half-hard shaft of the other male to illicit even more pleasure out of the lupine. As his own sensations of lustful arousal began to grow as the assimilation process begun it found itself taking the advice of the male squirming beneath him, slowing down his thrusts and leaning forward to hover over the wolf. He's cute, the alien thought to itself, and as he continued to lean over Daniel he was surprised when the muzzle leaned up and kissed him. It turned more passionate as tongues became involved, but it was a slow burn as the rubber alien fluid began to spread inside of the creature beneath.

As the python began to rock back and forth he started to lean back up so he could plow himself deeper into the wolf, only for Daniel to hold him by the head and bring him back down. "I want you to look at me," Daniel said. "I want to see those serpent eyes of yours stare into mine. I... ohh... now that feels weird."

The new alien node had already been started, the alien python knew, and could see it in the eyes of the one beneath him. "Just relax and let it happen," alien Nathan happened. "Feel nothing but the pleasure, try not to think."

"It's... nice..." Daniel replied, somewhat surprising the alien as he felt the wolf's legs wrap around his thighs and bring him closer. "I can feel it, the pleasure, everything else floating away..." This was unusual, the alien thought as he could feel the transfer of the alien material and the data that went with it, was this wolf willingly succumbing to its assimilation? That was just fine for it, and as though it response Daniel began to moan more loudly and try to push the python deeper while tendrils pushed their way up his chest and back.

The python and the wolf continued to stare at each other, though for Daniel it seemed to get harder and harder for him to focus as the alien found himself going into the other male's tailhole with shallow, fast thrusts. With the download of alien information and the assimilation of Daniel's his orgasm was coming much faster than anticipated, and as the wolf slowly began to lean backwards and his eyes went unfocused his was coming as well when he completely succumbed. As the desk began to shake beneath them Daniel surprised the alien by orgasming first, his alien cum shooting out and sticking to the scales of his stomach. By the time the python had finished he could already see the eyes of the newly assimilated node starting to look around, the new alien inside of the lupine starting to move his hands and legs even before it could pull out of them.

"Data transfer complete," the wolf announced, his face going passive as he looked at the alien python. "New node ready for access." Alien Nathan nodded and decided to make it easy by hopping up on the desk and impaling himself on the still half-hard cock of the new alien wolf, letting out a moan as it felt the surge of pleasure return not only from the penetration but the new information as well as they synced together. As it felt the alien fluid slowly flow into him the possessed wolf sat up as best he could and licked the black rubber-like substance off of his scales and cock, cleaning up as it disseminated this new information.

One thing that stuck out to the alien in particular was a memory that came from Daniel, seeing him standing in the office with a large portly warthog standing there. When the boss asked if he wanted a bonus the wolf had nodded enthusiastically, only for the other man to pull down his pants and motion for Daniel to lay down on the desk on his stomach. The wolf remained standing there for a few minutes before the warthog asked if he wanted a bonus, and if he did he would have to work for it. It wasn't long after that the wolf found himself face down with a heavy hand on his back being bounced against the wood of the desk, and when the boss had finished inside of him the wolf suddenly saw a hundred dollar bill get laid out in front of him.

The alien python found itself shaking its head and looked down to see that he was still sliding up and down on the wolf's cock, its own bouncing up and down as it finished getting the information with the other alien node orgasming inside of him. Once the two were finished they got up and got dressed once more, then together cleaned up the office as well as the rest of the café so that no one knew what they had done. They wordlessly cleaned and scrubbed the area down before they both left, going their separate ways while both knowing that they would be seeing each other again very soon.

That Sunday night was the last night that Blake worked the night shift, and though there wasn't a formal celebration the boss had left early and told him that as long as the place wasn't burnt down by the time he got back he could do whatever he wanted. With the Sunday crowds being even thinner than usual, mostly due to those that would normally be at the bar were at home trying to rest up to go to work the next day, no one was even in the store except for Nathan who flipped through a number of magazines. It was almost ten and the python walked idly around looking at various items when he heard the door open, looking back to see a large pair of horns enter into the convenience store. The muscular man was wearing sweats and a hoodie and was looking at the power bars as Nathan approached.

"You know, this place has a mean coffee," Nathan said as the bull didn't even bother to look at him. "If you get it though I would suggest two shots of the hazelnut creamer and three of the almond sugars."

The bull immediately stopped what he was doing and stood up, then turned to look at the python that was staring up back at him. "I actually prefer tea myself," Gerald replied as a small grin flashed on his muzzle. "Two twists of lime and three spoonfuls of wildflower honey."

With the code between the two complete the alien knew that he was talking to another node, Nathan motioning for him to head back with him towards the stock room. As they did the leopard looked up from his magazine and gave them both a nod before returning to what he was doing. Once they were away from the prying eyes of the public the personas that they had adopted fell away, though as the alien continued to be the python the more he saw himself as the creature. It was natural for such things to happen, not only to help sell the illusion but also as the assimilation continued to deepen for the alien creature. Though he had already gotten most of the information that had come through the bull by exchanging data with Blake in the same stock room the alien knew that it paid to be through and get it straight from the source as they both began to undress.

There was no need for the two to talk, not with both of them about to share everything with one another as they laid down on the blankets that had been brought in to ease the transition. As the two started to settle in to suck each other's cocks however the doors opened once more, the two freezing in place. "Getting started without us," Blake said as he shut and locked the door behind him. "Very inefficient."

"What about the store?" The python asked as he watched the two get naked.

"Locked it and said I would be back in thirty minutes," Blake replied as he undid his underwear and let his cock free, the tip already stained with pre as he pressed a hand against he bare chest of the wolf next to him. "Who are we catching up first, and how? Create a downline, or perhaps just swapping partners?"

"Let's coalesce our data into wolf node Daniel first," Nathan stated as he motioned for the lupine to get down on all fours. "You have all set your plans, right?" The other two nodded and shifted themselves so they could be on either side of the python as Nathan began to push his own throbbing cock into the hole presented to him. The wolf beneath let out a groan as he felt himself being stretched open and already the python could feel the transfer of everything that had happened since their last encounter and new knowledge learned being pulled from him as he reached up to stroke the hefty shafts of the other two.

"You know, I have yet to interface with Daniel," Blake commented as he stepped forward and pressed the tip of his member against the serpentine snout of the male in front of him. "I'd like to do so for proper syncing."

"We are all going to have plenty of time to sync with one another," Nathan replied as he let the forked tongue flick out past his lips. "Now be sure to go deep, I want as little data loss as possible." The leopard obliged by taking his hands and grabbing Nathan's head, then pushing his hips forward and spreading open the jaws of the snake with several inches of throbbing shaft all at once. His mouth became coated with black as he felt the first influx of data, trying to push himself forward to get the head of his cock into his throat so that it would form a seal while the hands of the bull began to press against him.

When Gerald took his cock and began to push forward, much slower than the feline in front of him since it was a very large transfer he was taking in, the four began to feel the flow of information start to ebb and flow back and forth from one another. With the python being the progenitor and their central hub of sorts the three aliens that had plugged in, or was in the process of plugging in as the scaled thighs of the alien creature shaking from being stretched so wide for the first time, they were able to communicate with one another without needing to speak and as fast as their minds could think of them. At first it was a little hard to understand but eventually Nathan pushed down and got the hilt of his cock inside of the wolf beneath them and he felt his nose and his rear touch the other two men with their shafts fully lodged inside of him. As soon as they were fully integrated with one another the mass of bodies slowly shifted back and forth to continue to keep the pleasure flowing between them while they discussed the ideas of where to go next.

As Nathan sucked on the cock in front of him an image came to mind, one where Blake would attempt to find those that might run in the bars and nightclubs to potentially find more promiscuous people that they could assimilate. Ever since Daniel had been brought into the fold, the wolf being an insatiable horndog, they found a number of people that he would have sex with would try and get him to go out to these clubs in order to become a plaything of someone. While Blake was going to go a slightly opposite route he would try to find these clubs and infiltrate them, assimilating those he could in order to expend the network of easy targets for them to hit. It was going to be a long task but with him already a fixture at some clubs he was the best for the job.

For Gerald he would use his credentials in order to infiltrate the mall like Blake had imagined when they first met, the python seeing several floors of stores all packed with customers along with the back of the house where all the guards were. As the thick bull cock throbbed hard inside of his stretched insides and pushed out his stomach he could see him finding store owners and workers that he could assimilate, turning the whole thing into a nexus hub where information can be easily and discretely exchanged. Gerald would also eventually turn several of the other guards as well so that they could have their nexus protected, relying on the others for help if needed but essentially creating his own node network.

Finally for Daniel he was going to keep his job at the café and use it in order to try and see if he could get more information on high-value targets, mainly because the Riverwalk is close to several government buildings including the courthouse. With Blake looking for networking and Gerald building a hub it would be Daniel's job to find information, the python imagining that his former reputation would help proceed him in certain instances to possibly find high-profile targets to assimilate so they could get a better bearing on how things worked. As for the one in the middle Nathan would be the one making sure that all the nodes stayed connected, using his skills as a programmer and possibly assimilating a few more in order to build a network that they could use whenever they weren't directly transferring data to one another. As the hive expands they were going to need coordination and this host was built for it.

With their planning done the rest of the night was them spent casually rutting one another, the blankets becoming covered in black alien latex as all of them eventually found themselves with a cock or two of the other inside of them. When it came time for Blake to go back and open the store the remaining three continued on without him, though as Gerald found himself with a wolf in his backside and a python plunging into his maw the door opened. At first the three naked men saw Blake standing there, but as looked down at them with a grin he saw that he had brought in a fox man that holding his hand and looking at him with wide eyes. The other three quickly snapped to having their guises back on since beforehand they just basked in the pleasure of sliding in and out of one another's maws and had to actually remember to smile and wave.

"Guys, this is Hammond," Blake said as he stepped back to allow the fox forward. "Hammond, this the guys that I was just talking about. He was just telling me how he was a financial consultant for the bank and I thought he may need some time to relax and how we were celebrating my last day."

Bank consultant, Nathan thought as the leopard began to strip the fox down while both he and Daniel got up. That would be very valuable information to have, and as they got the red-furred man naked and they had him sit on the lab of Gerald together the two should have enough juice in order to assimilate him if they worked together. While the cobra and the wolf nodes could have certainly helped instead they were saving their power up for someone special, instead opting to pound into the tailholes of the two who spitroasted the fox. With a bull inside his vulpine snout and a leopard alien stretching open his tailhole they watched as the fox let out muffled grunts of pure pleasure as tendrils spread out from his head and his groin while his hips thrusted upwards in orgasm from being assimilated...

The next day at the café a warthog snorted as he went through the mail that he had picked up on the way there, looking through the bills and notices that came with owning a business. When there was nothing worth noting there he went into the back and looked at the schedule to see who was working, scowling when he once more found that it was gabby peacock girl that he had hired a few months ago. Since it was technically his server manager's job to set the schedule he didn't really have much input on it, but he had been wanting to get Daniel back on the day shift and for some reason he always made sure to put the twink of a wolf on nights when he had to be home. It was a real shame really, especially since he had some money in his pocket to burn after the boost in people who came just to see if they could score with the easy waiter.

Just as he got to his desk and began to settle in he heard a knock at the door, which considering that no one else was supposed to be in yet for another half an hour caused him to look at his watch in slight confusion. "Who is it?" The warthog asked, hearing the voice of Daniel on the other side announce it was him. "Oh yes, come in, I was just thinking about you actually."

"I'm sure you were," Daniel said as he came in with a smirk, the warthog looking up at him with a smile until it turned into a frown when he saw that he wasn't alone.

"What's this," the warthog asked as the python came in and shut the door behind him. "Is he part of some sort of employee advocate group or something? I gave you the choice, I didn't threaten to fire you or anything, I can't help it if you are a slut."

The two men seemed unphased by the comment and to the warthog's surprise they began to undress, the python revealing his toned scaled form when he removed his shirt as the wolf unbuttoned his pants. "Well now, this is a surprise indeed," the warthog said as he let out a chuckle. "It's not even my birthday, what possessed you to do this?"

"That would be me," Nathan said, the alien python not even bothering to put up his guise since it wasn't going to matter much in the long run. "Now from what Daniel told me you may have let loose a little encounter you two had that had made his life quite miserable, so much so that when an alien came along and assimilated his consciousness he practically ran headfirst into it. Now we saved ourselves from taking over a particularly fine fox in order to deal with you, though analytically there's really no reason for us to take over someone that doesn't really have anything to offer to the node we figure that you becoming like us will be a marked improvement in the lives of everyone here."

The grin that had been on the warthog's face slowly disappeared as the two naked men approached him, turning into a look of both fear and anger as he reached into his desk and pulled out a gun. "You think you freaks can come in here and do... whatever it is you're talking about to me?!" As the wolf and python continued to move languidly towards him the warthog aimed the gun at the python's head and pulled the trigger, only to hear the sound of clicking as he attempted to fire several times before he looked at the gun in shock and confusion. 'What the hell?!"

"First thing that Daniel learned after you allowed him in your office," the wolf said as he held up his closed fist and opened it, allowing the bullets that were inside to fall out and hit the ground. As Daniel sat on the desk the alien python hopped around it, rubber tentacles slithering around his mouth as his jaws began to stretch while the wolf grinned. "Don't worry, just think of this as a bonus..."
