Cambrian’s Emporium of Everything (Multiple Settings)

Earth’s Last Hope Falls (X-Com: Enemy Within)

A/N: Earth's Last Hope Falls was a commissioned story that originally ran in five parts from July to October of 2017. Compiling it into a one-shot to read here. Enjoy!

Summary: An X-Com Squad finds a strange alien device on one of their missions. As is policy with all such technology finds, they bring it back to base for Dr. Vahlen to dissect and reverse engineer. Unfortunately, it's a trap set by the Ethereals. A trap that the female leadership of X-Com has walked right into...

Themes: Brainwashing, Genderbending, Alien Sex

-x-X-x-

The three remaining members of the X-Com Squad were beleaguered, exhausted, and in one case injured as they made their way deeper into the alien ship. They could only hope that the end was in sight at this point, because losing Javez to a damn Sectoid had left them all more than a little tired of this shit. Ramsey grimaced, glancing back at Valerie and Fred and seeing the same vacant looks in their eyes that he assumed was reflected in his own.

X-Com served an incredibly important role in the losing battle against the alien menace. None of them doubted that for a second, even at this point. But that didn't stop them from wearing down. They were only human after all. Valerie had taken a glancing shot from a Plasma Pistol early on in the mission, back when they'd been fresh and perhaps a little too cocky because of it.

Ramsey blamed himself to be honest. His arrogance and a seemingly empty corridor had led him to moving his team up far too fast in the hopes of getting the drop on the alien scum that were no doubt waiting deeper in the ship they'd infiltrated. Only, in the end it was the aliens that got a drop on his team and Valerie had taken the hit for that, for his mistake.

Luckily, he'd learned his lesson and they'd moved far more cautiously from that moment on, constantly watching out for each other. Unluckily, Javez had a thing for Valerie, a bit of an open secret. Ramsey had let it go, pretending he didn't know anything about the secret glances that they would shoot each other all the time. Now, he wished he'd said something, even done something about it. If he'd had one of them transferred to another squad, perhaps Javez would still be alive.

But then, Valerie would probably be dead, wouldn't she? Javez had sacrificed himself to jump in front of a Plasma Blast for her, the bolt of deadly energy lancing out of the shadows from farther away than any of them could see. It had been too late for Valerie to dodge, but not too late for Javez, the first of them to notice the plasma, to leap in front of it.

Now he was dead and it was just the three of them left. They'd dealt with the hiding Sectoid who'd picked Javez off with extreme prejudice and even though it meant having nothing left to bring back to Dr. Vahlen, Ramsey was satisfied that his comrade's death had been avenged. Still, he truly wasn't sure how much longer any of his squad could last at this point, especially with their ammo dangerously low in spite of policing Javez's extra rounds.

Grimacing, Ramsey put himself on point, gesturing in silence to Valerie and Fred that he was moving up. Neither seemed happy about it, especially since with Valerie the furthest back, it should have been her turn to take point with him and Fred on overwatch. Ramsey didn't care though; he wouldn't lose another squad mate to the alien scum, not when he could take the plasma for them. Or perhaps the squad leader was simply hoping to go out as Javez had, in a moment of sacrifice, to be remembered as a hero.

What was really going through Ramsey's head didn't truly matter at that point, because they'd come to the end of their mission without even realizing it. This was the last unexplored room in the ship, but rather than a fight for their lives as they'd been expecting, they found an empty space with a device in the center of it. Ramsey furrowed his brow and gestured for Fred and Valerie to move up to join him. The two scurried up and took position on either side of the inside of the door, looking back the way they came to avoid any possible ambush from behind.

In the meantime, Ramsey moved forward, eyes glancing over the strange alien technology. He didn't truly get what he was looking at. A beacon of some sort? There was a big central device with a bulbous glowing orb in the middle of it. On the outer edges were a whole lot of smaller devices hooked into the thing, as well as one medium sized device on the front of it that also looked detachable.

Well damn, the techies would no doubt have a field day with this one. Ramsey let his lips curl into a small sardonic smile as a slightly uplifting thought crossed his mind. Maybe Javez's death wouldn't end up being so much of a waste after all. If this could just be something useful, something that the good (scary) Dr. Vahlen could use to turn the tide in their favor, maybe Javez's death would have true meaning to the war effort.

Lifting up his hand, the squad leader pressed a finger against his ear comm, activating it.

"Command? The alien ship has been cleared out. Squad reports one fatality and one casualty. And Command… we may have found something."

-x-X-x-

"… D-Dr. V-Vahlen?"

X-Com's Chief Scientific Officer was abruptly torn away from the pulsating glowing bulbous center of the alien device in front of her. Doctor Moira Vahlen spun around; her eyes wild and wide as she took in the young bespectacled man in a lab coat that had dared to interrupt her work. The piece of technology that the X-Com troopers had brought back from the alien ship was absolutely fascinating and she'd been studying it for the last week trying to discern its secrets.

After her first day with the thing, Moira had known that it was entirely necessary for her to get rid of all possible distractions so she could focus on this particular alien technology above all else. She hadn't quite figured it out yet, but as if instinctively, the Doctor knew that this right here would change the face of their war against the aliens. If only she could decipher its full use.

That was the reason that she had ultimately banned interruptions in the lab on the second day with the device. And now this toady dared to ignore that ban. He'd approached her and he'd distracted her, right when Vahlen was quite sure that she was actively getting close to finally figuring everything out. Gritting her teeth, the blonde stepped forward towards the nervous assistant, practically looming over him.

"What?! What is it that could be so important that you would interrupt me while I'm working?!"

She half-hissed, half-shouted the words out and as she advanced, the young man fell back, clearly a weakling and a coward as he whimpered. His hands were up, his palms out to her in an instinctive warding gesture. The mewling whelp had the nerve to try and explain himself.

"B-But Dr. V-Vahlen! You've been s-standing in one spot for t-ten hours! I was w-worried for you!"

That actually got the astrobiologist to pause for a moment. Vahlen's wild eyes flickered to the digital clock to her side. As it turned out, the idiot was right. She hated it when imbeciles, usually by accident, turned out to be right. And in fact, she had no desire to change tacks and apologize in this instance. And so the scientist decided not to, right then and there. Throwing up a hand that caused the shaking young man to rear back in fear, Vahlen began to shout instead.

"And if I'd had one minute more, I may have actually had a breakthrough! Get out of my sight you idiot! Out! Out, out, out!"

She practically chased him from the lab and once he was gone, Vahlen let out an explosive sigh, locking the door behind him and turning back to the still pulsating orb that lay in the center of the large piece of alien tech. Sniffing at herself briefly, the doctor's nose wrinkled and her lips curled in disgust. She really did reek. For a brief moment, the blonde scientist considered taking a shower, grabbing a bite to eat, and perhaps laying down for a quick nap as well.

Then the glowing orb caught her eye again and she bit her lower lip as she began to walk back over to the device. She was so close to breakthrough, she just knew it. The scientist in her would not allow Moira to pause her work, not when she was just a few steps away. She could sleep, eat and clean herself when the fate of the world and the mysteries of the universe did not hang in the balance!

Grinning a little wildly, Dr. Vahlen moved forward again, a slightly manic look on her face as she got back to unraveling the secrets of the alien technology as she'd done so very many times before. Unfortunately, X-Com's desperation had led them to let something they should not have into their base. If only they'd known what they were dealing with, they may have destroyed the device that Dr. Vahlen was so focused on, long before it could fall into the obsessive scientist's hands.

Alas, they did not and had not.

-x-X-x-

Cleaned, fed, and rested, a seemingly rejuvenated Vahlen smiled pleasantly as she led the X-Com Commander through her lab over to where the beacon sat. And it was indeed a beacon, Vahlen had discovered over her all night research binges. The crimson haired Commander of Earth's best shot at fighting off the alien invasion currently menacing their world furrowed her brow at the device.

"You told me you had some sort of presentation for me Doctor? I assume it involves this?"

The scientist nodded her head eagerly, almost a little too eagerly. Still, it was science and groundbreaking at that.

"Indeed Commander. I have discovered exactly what this device and its subsequent devices can do. This beautiful piece of technology has the potential to revolutionize our efforts in the field. Once we master it, we will be assured of victory, I guarantee it."

The Commander smiled in response to that, nodding slowly as she stared at the pulsating glowing orb sitting at the large device's center.

"Damn, I like the sound of that. So what does it all do Doctor?"

Licking her lips, Vahlen stepped forward and reached out for the largest detachable piece on the outer edges of the device, pulling it free and turning to her superior.

"It is a beacon, a psychic one I believe. The larger part of the device acts as a receiver and a transponder, while these smaller devices are meant to be implanted in biological life forms. They are even compatible with humans."

Of course, the devices were technically ONLY compatible with humans, but Vahlen wasn't allowed to know that. The Commander stared at her Chief Scientific Officer blankly, not quite comprehending what the other woman was saying. Vahlen just continued on, simplifying things a little.

"In essence, this device is the primary implant. It would be given to a leader of some sort, such as perhaps… a Commander? The other implants are for the foot soldiers. Together, they form a neural net that allows you to experience, feel, and see exactly what our soldiers experience, feel, and see. More than that, it allows you to give orders in real time, based on exactly what's happening on the battlefield. Can you imagine Commander? The greatest strategic mind, normally stuck behind a desk to keep her safe, able to project her will directly onto every mission, every incursion. I assume you can see the possibilities."

And the Commander definitely could. She stared at the device in Vahlen's hands, the primary implant. She glanced at the smaller implants hanging off of the sides of the large pulsating alien beacon.

"… May I assume that you would not be saying all of this if you weren't completely ready to perform the procedure that would place this… primary implant inside of me?"

A big wide grin spread across Vahlen's face.

"You would be correct to assume such a thing Commander. I am one hundred percent ready to proceed with the implantation procedure."

The Commander glanced between the device and her Chief Scientific Officer one more time. There was of course a bit of doubt that coursed through the red head as she considered all of this. Honestly, it would have been silly not to feel a little uneasy in the face of unknown alien technology. However, Vahlen had never steered her wrong before now. The doctor was a genius, insanely brilliant and a godsend to the X-Com Program. If the Commander couldn't trust Vahlen, who the fuck could she trust?

Plastering a broad smile across her face in order to hide any of the doubts she might have been having about all of this, the X-Com Commander nodded once, sealing her fate with her next words.

"Very well Dr. Vahlen. Let's see just what these babies can do."

Vahlen looked like an X-Com squad had brought her back a new alien to vivisect, that's how bright and big her smile was.

-x-X-x-

The Commander leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes, reaching out with her mind and feeling the four members of the squad that were currently hundreds of miles away, moving down a deserted wreck of a city street. She could sense each of her X-Com soldiers from here and it was a heady feeling, seeing, breathing, and hearing through all of them at once.

The only real issue was the men. This particular X-Com Squad was surprisingly gender equal, made up of two women and two men. The Commander could feel everything through the female squad members perfectly; it was as if she was there with them. The male squad members on the other hand felt like a combination of blurred, murky, and trying to put on a pair of shoes that just won't fit.

The red head winced and brought a hand up to her head as she leaned back in the chair she was sat in and tried to focus on the task at hand.

"Move up squad, cover each other's six and secure the objective. Come on, nice and easy now."

From there the Commander began to give more specific orders to each member of the X-Com squad. They followed her will to the letter, instantly obeying her commands as if they were gospel, though the red head noticed that the men were hearing her a little late. There was a lag to the connection between her and the male members of the squad that shouldn't have been there. It was growing more than a little distracting, but she pushed right on through, focusing on the mission above all else.

She saw the Sectoid out of one of the female member's eyes first and in a moment of shock and will power, the Commander took control of the squad mate's mouth and vocal cords.

"Bogie to the left! Open fire!"

Her split second warning was enough to give the male soldier it had been sneaking up on the shot he needed at surviving the encounter. One dead Sectoid later and the Commander pulled back, both pleased at keeping her man alive as well as a little embarrassed at having simply taken control of the woman under her command like that. The female soldier in question grimaced and rubbed at her throat with her hand for a moment, but otherwise did not comment.

Regardless, the Commander made sure to avoid such overt control from that moment on, instead focusing on mental commands and warnings, trusting in her soldiers to get the job done. The haze that came with trying to feel through the male members of the squad never did truly fade away, but in the end, everyone got out alive and as the red head pulled out of the psychic connection, opening her eyes to look at her actual office once more, she felt fulfilled, satisfied, and accomplished.

Of course, Vahlen was right there with her in the room, the only other occupant as the blonde practically bounced up and down with a strange uncharacteristic energy and a rather manic grin that wasn't actually that uncharacteristic at all.

"Well? How did it go? As beautifully as we expected I'm sure."

The X-Com Commander gave a wry smile to her Chief Scientific Officer.

"It went fine Doctor. No casualties whatsoever. I'd say it's a very strong first showing for this tech. Though I did have an issue with the connection between me and the male members of the squad. Something to look into I imagine. Find a way to troubleshoot it. After all, a good majority of our recruits are male. Can't exactly get rid of all of them at this point."

Vahlen grinned at that, thinking back to her encounter with the idiotic male scientist who had interrupted her research into the alien technology that the Commander had just been testing out, setting her progress back by days.

"If only we could, right Commander?"

The two women shared a look and then a laugh, the red head nodding along good naturedly with the female scientist, not having any idea just how serious Vahlen truly was under the chuckle and the smile.

-x-X-x-

Vahlen was half-running as she sped down the hallway at an incredibly fast walk, her long legs taking her forward in powerful strides and her heels clipping against the metal floor beneath them. She'd just received a message saying the Commander was waking up and the scientist had dropped everything to go to the other woman immediately. After all, this three day coma that the X-Com Commander had fallen into was at least partially her fault.

The first mission using the alien beacon's psychic link up to allow the Commander to give real time instructions had gone so well that Vahlen had stifled the small uneasy voice in the back of her mind that said something was wrong. She regretted that now, she regretted allowing the second mission to go forward without proper supervision or further testing.

The second mission that utilized the psychic link up had been with a squad of all male soldiers. That had been a mistake from the start, as the Commander had complained about headaches and feeling woozy. But then a man had died while the Commander was linked into him and everything had got tits up in a damn hurry.

Still, Vahlen knew where things had gone wrong now. The small uneasy voice in the back of her mind had spoken up and she'd finally listened to what it had to say. X-Com's Chief Scientific Officer knew what they had to do. Turning onto another hallway, Vahlen slowed her pace as she came to an open door with people bustling in and out of it. The med bay was filled with doctors and nurses, all swarming around the Commander's bed.

The crimson haired woman was sitting up, awake and even alert as Vahlen stepped into the room. Smiling, the blonde scientist found herself feeling a profound sense of relief. This was the Commander after all, not only was she one of the few people Vahlen actually respected, she was also humanity's greatest hope to pushing back the alien menace.

Suddenly, uncharacteristically, Vahlen began to feel slightly nervous, slightly shy. She stopped a few feet from the other woman's bed and found herself actually shuffling her feet as she considered how to properly approach the Commander. Ultimately, the red head noticed her and took the decision right out of her hands by gesturing to her.

"Dr. Vahlen! Clear a space people, I need to speak with my Chief Scientist!"

The medical doctors and the nurses all around the Commander's bed did not look pleased to be doing so, but they backed away all the same, allowing Vahlen to move to the other woman's side, swallowing the lump in her throat and licking her lips as she looked her over briefly.

"How are you feeling Commander?"

The red head had a wry smile across her face as she gave her response.

"Like I was shot in the chest by a plasma rifle. But then, as I understand it, one of our men actually WAS shot in the chest by a plasma rifle while I was connected to his brain."

The X-Com Commander's face became solemn and serious as she stared at her Chief Scientific Officer.

"Dr. Vahlen, what happened? What went wrong?"

For a moment, Moira Vahlen felt a small burst of pride. The Commander's tone conveyed absolute faith in her, even after this screw up. Even now, X-Com's leader expected her to instantly have all the answers. It was reaffirming in a way, to be seen as so capable, to be depended on so much. Still, this wasn't the time for smiling like a look. Vahlen bowed her head and spoke in a hushed tone so that only the Commander would hear her, over the noise of everyone else bustling around the room.

"It was my mistake Commander. I didn't look into the device and how it all functions closely enough. The psychic connection is perfectly harmless and the technology is completely sound… but it's not meant to be used on a dual gender species."

The crimson haired Commander processed this for a long moment, her brow furrowing in thought.

"… Do you mean to tell me that I've been having difficulties because I'm a woman?"

Vahlen was quick to debunk that, laughing and shaking her head a little as she grinned.

"Not at all Commander. It would be more right to say that you're having difficulties because so many of our soldiers are men."

That got another little grin from the female Commander, before she sobered up.

"Then what do you recommend moving forward doctor?"

Licking her lips, the blonde scientist laid out exactly what she knew.

"The male soldiers who have been implanted will need to have them removed. And from now on, only female X-Com soldiers will be able to receive the implant."

Once again the Commander processed this but ultimately, she nodded all the same.

"Understood. I trust you can arrange things Dr. Vahlen. While this is a bit of a hassle, given just how many of our troops are male, even having one female soldier on a squad able to be my eyes and ears will be a great boon to us in the field. We'll proceed with the implantation program and implement this technology with all of our female soldiers moving forward."

Vahlen inclined her head towards her superior, bowing slightly.

"Very good Commander. I will get started on that right away."

The beautiful red head waved her Chief Scientific Officer off and Vahlen hurried away at a clipped pace once she was dismissed. It was unfortunate that neither woman, even as exceptionally bright as they both were, could see that they were being manipulated. The alien device, the implants, even the incompatibility between the female Commander and her male troops, all of it was designed by the Ethereals.

X-Com had proven to be more than a thorn in their side. Ultimately, the alien commanders had decided to do something about it. Up until this point, they'd been fighting conventional warfare against the human's last organized resistance effort. That had proven to be a costly mistake in terms of both time and manpower. The humans had proven too resourceful by far, not at all like most of the alien species that they'd subjugated before them.

In the end, the Ethereals at the top of the command chain had decided that a softer approach was needed. They'd fallen back to their roots. After all, they were in the end psionically gifted but ultimately quite physically frail. Honeyed traps, brainwashing devices and infiltration, those were how the Ethereals had gotten their start.

And now, as they looked on, watching the human female work on her implantation process that they'd given her through the bulbous pulsating orb in the center of the alien beacon, the Ethereals knew that they were on track. X-Com would fall, not from overwhelming force, but from a knife to their heart.

X-Com would fall to the enemy within.

-x-X-x-

The crimson haired X-Com Commander sat back in her comfortable chair, a soft smile across her face as she reached out along the mental connection provided by the alien technology and felt the minds of X-Com's first fully female squad. The connection between her and the four minds was exceptionally smooth and the Commander let out a happy sigh before beginning to give out orders with her mind.

The mission proceeded as smoothly as the connection felt and using the eyes of her four soldiers, the Commander was able to provide overwatch over the entire battlefield. She caught things out of the corners of their eyes that they didn't, provided split second commands that they followed without question in order to save their fellows lives.

They were at one of the alien's secret facilities, a pivotal mission that would see them dealing a crippling blow to the invasion if they succeeded. And as time went on, it certainly looked like they were going to succeed beyond the Commander's wildest dreams. Sectoids, Mutons, Cyberdiscs, they were all there and they all fell easily to the squad's laser rifle thanks to the Commander's help.

The red head made sure that there were no enemies left in the vicinity of her troops and then she sent the female squad forward into the next room, where a large pulsating alien device rested in the center. A wide grin spread across the Commander's face and was mirrored on the faces of her troops as they stepped forward at her mental command, pulling out explosives from their packs and beginning to secure them to the base of the huge alien device.

When the first of the squad finished with her explosives, the female trooper stood up and stared at the pulsating glowing piece of technology in silence. Through her eyes, the Commander found herself staring as well. Unfortunately, none of them understood the true purpose of the massive construct, any more than they understood the true purpose of the technology they were all mentally hooked into even now.

This was not the crippling blow against the alien threat that they sought, but rather the next step in the plan that would lead them down the path to ruin and submission. All four of the women on the X-Com squad were eventually stood up, their explosives primed and ready and their eyes stuck on the pulsating thing they were there to blow up. The crimson haired Commander was now staring at it through four sets of eyes, mesmerized by the slow gentle flow of light the device was emitting.

Only the beeping from the explosives pulled the Commander out of the trance. As soon as she left it, the other four women did as well and none of them seemed to realize what had just happened. They moved immediately, packing up what needed to be packed up and moving out under the Commander's orders. The red head leaned back in her chair, wondering for a moment when she'd leaned forward. The question slipped her mind though and she thought nothing more of it as she watched through the eyes of the four women as they turned and watched the facility blow up spectacularly behind them.

Not a trace of their objective was left. It was a total mission success and the red head felt a feeling of immense satisfaction welling up in her breast, transmitted down the connection to all four members of the X-Com squad. As they were picked up and airlifted back to base, there were good moods all around, happy and cheerful smiles on the faces of normally stoic and serious female soldiers. Neither the Commander nor the squad really noticed or worried about the fact that their connection was growing even stronger. It was fine wasn't it? There wouldn't be any issues just because they were MORE in sync…

-x-X-x-

On the back of such a successful mission, the Commander was eager to send out the same all-women squad for another objective pronto. This one was more of a retrieval mission than a search-and-destroy mission. In particular, Vahlen had requested that the Commander secure more live specimens for her experiments and for potential interrogations. Distasteful work, but necessary nonetheless. The red head would have preferred simply killing all of the alien scum that had dared to invade her planet, but she understood how much they could gain from studying the creatures properly. After all, it was alien technology that allowed her to act as direct overwatch for this retrieval mission, was it not?

A satisfied smile on her face, the crimson haired Commander sent her squad forth as they entered the mission zone. A wrecked yet mostly intact fast food place surrounded on all sides by streets filled with burning cars. There was nothing of strategic value here, but they'd heard rumors of Sectoids patrolling these streets. That should make this a cake walk.

Keeping an eye out on their surroundings through the eyes of her subordinates, the red head still caught a glimpse of purple glowing eyes before it was too late. The one major weakness of the mental link was exposed in that moment as a single Sectoid Commander made use of Mind Control to take over one of the squad members. Only, that squad member was connected to all of them, connected to her. Before the X-Com Commander knew what was happening, the powerful psionic had her and her entire team under its spell.

The fully female X-Com Squad fell to their knees submissively, their eyes glowing with purple light as they set down their weapons on the ground and pushed them several feet away. As the laser rifles and pistols skidded to a halt, the Sectoid Commander and three normal Sectoids approached the defeated X-Com Squad cautiously, as if expecting an ambush.

She only wished she could provide one, but the Commander was trapped in her own body, stuck in her office unable to so much as call for help as the Sectoid's leader used his psionic powers in a way that she'd never seen done before. As one, both the X-Com Squad and the crimson haired Commander reached up and tore at their chests, ripping off their armor and clothing, though in the Commander's case it was just her shirt being torn in two.

Five pairs of breasts fell free at once, jiggling and bouncing as was expected of their individual sizes. There were small breasts and large breasts, dark breasts and pale breasts. The Commander's were large and creamy white, and she moaned as the Sectoid controlling her and her people forced them to touch themselves right there, causing them to grope their exposed titties for the aliens' amusement.

The four Sectoids stepped forward as one, and for the first time the Commander saw the cocks that the small aliens were sporting between their legs. Her eyes widened along with the squad's as she saw just how large the things were. The thick alien members were completely disproportionate to the relatively short stature of the Sectoids. The Sectoid Commander's length was even bigger.

The four female soldiers were forced from just their knees onto their hands and knees, bringing them eye level with the Sectoids' cocks as the aliens forced their unnatural monstrous pricks inside of the women's mouths. Alongside them, the crimson haired Commander found her mouth opening up even as her hands slid down her front and into her pants. She could feel the phantom sensation of a hot throbbing alien dick as it pistoned in and out of her throat, all while she rubbed her pussy through her panties as they got progressively wetter from her cunt juices.

Despite having no lack of air unlike her subordinates, the red head choked on the phantom alien dick right alongside them all, gagging into open air as she felt her troops being thoroughly throat-fucked.

"Aaahk! Aaahk! Aaahk!"

It felt like there were slimy alien fingers in her hair as the Sectoids held onto her soldiers' heads, using their grip to thrust deeper into the throats of the poor helpless women. Suddenly, the alien shafts in all four of the throats the Commander was connected with began to twitch and pulse and then she felt it as they came in unison, filling the mouths of brave female warriors after defiling them with alien dicks.

And yet, the Commander could taste the phantom semen as it trickled down her throat. She swallowed it right alongside the four women who were actually experiencing the oral rape of their face holes, and she enjoyed the delicious taste of the alien cum right alongside them as well. The Sectoids finally pulled their cocks out of the X-Com Squad's throats and despite having no lack of air, the Commander still took a long breathe of it right alongside her subordinates.

A moment later and the four mind controlled women were being pushed onto their backs, the crotches of their pants being torn away with psionic power left their regulation tight fitting bike shorts on full display, the wet spots that their cunts had left on the shorts showing quite visibly to the alien eyes that beheld them.

Their underwear was torn away just as unceremoniously though and a moment later every last one of them had a Sectoid cock, lubed in their saliva, shoved up inside of their needy wet cunts. The mind controlled X-Com Squad moaned lewdly and the red haired Commander followed right alongside them, rocking back and forth in her chair as she felt the phantom presence of four thick alien dicks in her pussy.

Unfortunately, she couldn't just open her cunt up like she had her mouth to simulate the true thing. She had to go a step further to do that, and so without a moment's hesitation the X-Com Commander slipped her fingers under the hem of her panties right there in her office in the middle of X-Com's primary base, finger blasting herself with three of her digits in order to get close to the same filled sensation that her aroused, hot and bothered subordinates were experiencing.

It wasn't of course, the same that is. No matter how hard the Commander tried, she couldn't quite simulate the feeling of those big hard Sectoid pricks filling the female X-Com squad over and over again. Still, when they inevitably orgasmed around those alien dicks, the red head got the feedback from that ecstasy and was able to bring herself to climax as well. Of course, this ended up creating a loop and the state of all five women currently connected mentally and afflicted by the Sectoid Commander's mind control quickly deteriorated into delirium and euphoric bliss.

X-Com's Commander, one of the brightest minds humanity had to offer, was reduced to a drooling wreck in the middle of her office, her eyes rolled back in her head and her tongue hanging out of her mouth as she continued to mindlessly finger herself long past the point where the Sectoids stopped fucking the X-Com Squad.

In fact, the red head didn't come out of it until the female soldiers under her command began to wake up and felt what she was doing. It was only their confusion and concern that led the Commander to realize she'd been released from the Sectoid's mind control ages ago and at this point, all of her actions were her own. Shuddering, the crimson haired big breasted beauty forced herself to stop and focus on the task at hand.

She looked through the eyes of her troops, her face flushed with arousal and her chest heaving from exertion. She saw what they saw, and what a strange sight it was. All four Sectoids, including the Sectoid Commander that had gotten the drop on them in the first place, were laid out on the ground, sleeping peacefully with their messy cocks limp and soft.

The aliens had literally fucked the X-Com Squad until they no longer had the strength to do so, and then they'd abruptly passed out from sheer exhaustion. Realizing that she could still salvage the mission, the Commander seized on the moment and abruptly took control of the entire X-Com Squad without thinking.

As one, all four women pulled out their Arc Throwers and lined up the small boxy sidearm with their alien assailants. Each fired at the same exact moments, the arcs of electricity from which the device got its name reaching out and striking the already sleeping Sectoids, sending them into convulsions and leaving them entirely disabled.

Pulling back her control, the red haired Commander smiled in satisfaction, even as the female squad began to try and fix their clothing up to cover their modesty, while at the same time policing the aliens' weapons and securing the area to be used as a landing site. As the jet that would take them and their precious cargo back to base came down for a landing, the Commander reached out and made sure that none of her subordinates were going to tell anyone what had happened here.

It was decided amongst all five women in that moment that they would keep this a secret. They'd succeeded in their mission after all, with just a bit of damage to their armor. All four members of the X-Com Squad were in tip top health and none of them wanted to be pulled from active duty for a silly thing like therapy or something equally stupid as that. Not when the entire world was at stake.

The X-Com Commander was pleased that her troops were so dedicated to the cause and she spent the next hour as they returned staying connected to their minds, shooting the breeze and talking about trivial things as if she was just another member of the squad. The red head didn't pull out of the mental connection until after the jet finally landed and she got a message that Dr. Vahlen was outside of her office trying to get in.

Flushed scarlet, the half-naked Commander did her best to cover herself up, but in the end she couldn't quite get her large creamy breasts back into her ripped shirt. Biting her lower lip, she ultimately decided to just let her Chief Science Office in; ultimately realizing that she couldn't afford to keep this sort of thing from her.

The blonde stepped into the office at a brisk pace, her high heels clicking against the metal floor for all of two feet before she came to a half. Vahlen breathed in the musky scent of sex that had filled the small space, and then took in her superior's disheveled appearance. The X-Com Commander blushed deeply, knowing she looked a bit like she'd just been freshly fucked rather than like the composed military professional she was supposed to be.

"… Commander, what the hell happened to you?"

Opening her mouth and beginning to speak, the crimson haired Commander knew that she could leave nothing out. So in the end, she told Vahlen every last excruciating detail of the humiliating yet ultimately satisfying experience.

-x-X-x-

Vahlen stared at the X-Com Commander in wide eyed silence, taking in what the red head had told her and processing it slowly but surely. It seemed there was a fundamental design flaw in the alien device that allowed the Commander to watch over their troops out on missions. Something like this had never happened before though, making it a rather out of the box problem to have to solve. Vahlen would have to insist that the Commander stop all use of the devices until further notice, until she could install safeguards.

… Only, how could Vahlen possibly ask her superior to do that? The positive effects of the mind meld devices far outweighed the negative didn't they? If she allowed things to go back to the way they were before, soldiers would die and morale would fall. The Commander herself would feel powerless and it would ruin her ability to strategize and plan to go back to the old way after all of this. X-Com's entire operation would be threatened by the removal of the mind meld devices.

And at the same time, they'd completed their mission hadn't they? Vahlen could already see how this shift in alien tactics could be a good thing. Pressing her lips tightly together for a brief moment, the blonde scientist found the words she wanted to use and then articulated herself carefully to the waiting exposed Commander, trying her best and failing to not stare too much at the beautiful red head's creamy pale breasts, currently on display right in front of her.

"I… I believe that this might actually be a good thing Commander."

Rather than outrage or anger or indignation, Vahlen was pleased when the other woman's brow furrowed in confusion instead and it might just have been her projecting, but the blonde thought she might have seen a flicker of hope in the Commander's eyes.

"How so Dr. Vahlen? You know how much I value your opinion. I value it all the more now, since you're our best expert on xenobiology and alien technology, more so on this subject in particular."

Nodding, the blonde continued on, bolstered by the Commander's faith in her.

"Simply put, if the aliens are more interested in fucking us rather than killing us, we can keep squad casualties to a record low, as well as use their own proclivities against them as we did inadvertently here. So long as the missions are continuing to be successful as this one was, we'll be creeping ever closer to our goal of removing the alien presence from the face of the Earth entirely."

As she winded down from her little monologue, Vahlen watched the Commander's contemplative face. Eventually the red head nodded slowly.

"You're right Doctor. You're absolutely right. X-Com is about saving humanity from the alien menace no matter what the cost. We can't let our own feelings get in the way of progress like we've achieved here."

Vahlen smiled and inclined her head in acknowledgement, though a single concern did worm its way into her head past the bit of fog that the Ethereals were putting over her thoughts. The blonde scientist furrowed her brow and frowned.

"Though… how will the squad members feel about this new policy Commander? We can't have them revolting on us…"

Here the crimson haired beauty in charge of Earth's last line of defense blushed as deep a shade of red as her own hair color, before looking off to the side and mumbling something under her breath.

"What was that Commander?"

Clearing her throat, the X-Com Commander straightened up and looked Vahlen right in the eye, trying again.

"I don't believe that will be a problem Doctor. It was not an altogether… distasteful experience for the girls or me. Now, I believe you have four new aliens to interrogate and dissect. Pay special attention to the big one. That Sectoid lead the other three and it was his psionic abilities that brought down our squad… temporarily.

"Vivisect Commander."

Vahlen corrected the incorrect wording almost on instinct, before processing the rest of what her superior had said and responding to that as well.

"And I shall take that under advisement. A Sectoid Commander that strong in psionics must be special indeed, to have been able to override not just all four squad members, but also your master control."

Of course, the Sectoid Commander was nothing special at all, but neither woman was going to acknowledge that, as secure in their foggy mental bubbles as the Ethereals watching over the slow subversion of the human base had them. The Commander smiled and nodded and Vahlen did the same right back before departing from the room. And if she perhaps heard a bit of moaning coming from the Commander's office as the door slit shut behind her, Vahlen put it out of her head. It was none of her business after all and she had an alien to interrogate.

-x-X-x-

Vahlen stared through a thick glass pane at the barely breathing Sectoid Commander. The creature was not doing well at all, his chest heaving up and down in odd intervals and his body covered in scorch marks and long deep cuts from the number of advanced interrogation techniques that she and her assistants utilized for the alien scum on a daily basis.

Unfortunately, she hadn't gotten much of use out of the interrogation. Now was normally the time when she would begin the vivisection, learning all she could from this fine specimen before it expired and was tossed out like all the other waste. Yet as Vahlen stared at the alien, she found herself contemplating a different idea. The creature's dim glazed over eyes met hers and before she knew it, she was saying words she'd never said before.

"Suspend the interrogation and give the creature enough medical aid to keep it alive through the night."

There was stunned silence from the rest of the research staff as all eyes turned towards her, staring at her in sheer incredulity. One of her assistants, a young man, couldn't help voicing what the rest of them were thinking.

"Dr. Vahlen? Are you sure? We've never rendered medical aid to a Sectoid before now… they're not really worth the supplies."

Whirling on the one who'd spoken up and made himself the target of her ire, the blonde scientist practically snarled as she stomped up to him, staring him down.

"I am not FINISHED with this one yet! I want it alive until I can get back to it tomorrow! Is that clear?! I am not used to having my orders so casually questioned!"

The young man in front of Vahlen whimpered and stammered out an apology while all around her, his peers leapt into action, carrying out her orders to the letter. Straightening up, Vahlen pulled on the lapels of her lab coat for a brief second before turning and walking away primly, her nose in the air. How dare he question her? Vahlen's outrage over that fact was the perfect cover for the Ethereals to use to hide the fact that her supremely intelligent brain was questioning her own decision as well, in a far away and secluded corner of her mind.

-x-X-x-

Later that night during the base's sleep cycle while only a skeleton crew was left awake to operate the place, a curvaceous figure moved through the shadows into the containment area for all of the still living alien scum. The figure steps into the light of the cell that holds the badly injured unmoving Sectoid Commander, revealing themselves to be Dr. Vahlen.

The blonde has a dazed, glazed over look in her eye as she stares through the glass at the alien. It's lying on its side curled away from her, and she can see the bandages where her assistants managed to stem most of its blood loss. Almost as if in a trance, Vahlen reaches out and presses down on the button in front of her, opening the door to the containment cell and stepping inside.

Slowly, the blonde scientist approaches the silent unmoving Sectoid Commander, eyes staring straight ahead rather than down at it as she walks forward. When it's laid right at her feet, Vahlen stops and crouches down, reaching out to touch the alien's shoulder. The Sectoid had been sleeping up until this point, and waking up to a human hand on it caused it to react… violently.

Vahlen was thrown back by a psionic push, pinned to a nearby wall and brought out of her trance in an instant. The blonde looked around in shock, unable to understand just how she'd managed to get here. Had she sleep walked down to the containment area? Of course, Vahlen had bigger problems to deal with then how. There was a what after all as well. In this case, what was in this cell with her.

The Sectoid Commander limped before her, staring up at the blonde scientist who had done him so much harm with what looked like glee in his bulbous alien eyes. Vahlen squirmed and struggled as she saw his cock slowly growing, rising from its flaccid state between his legs. Before she knew it, she was down on the ground on her back, her wrists pressed to the metal floor above her head by a psionic hold and her legs spread wide by the Sectoid's spindly arms.

Vahlen's bottoms and her panties were torn from her just like the X-Com Squad had experienced earlier that day, and she was unable to do anything to stop it when the Sectoid forced his massive alien member into her cunt right then and there. She let out a holler, but nobody heard her, the alien cells sound proofed so that the humans didn't have to listen to their screams.

Throwing her head back and forth, Vahlen tried to ignore the sensation of being filled again and again as the Sectoid Commander plunged his cock into her repeatedly, forcing his way all the way to the entrance of her womb each time. He was fucking her like there was no tomorrow, and for him there very well might not have been at this point. It didn't mean Vahlen had to sit back and take it though!

Unfortunately, that seemed to be what she was being forced to do, unable to move her hands, unable to resist in any way at all, the blonde scientist was effectively pinned down and fucked right there on the floor of a containment cell by a huge hard alien cock. And as time went on, the disgust and revulsion Vahlen was feeling was beginning to fade away in a horrifying fashion.

The scientist was ashamed of herself and her bodily functions as she went from completely dry to slowly growing wet from arousal forced upon her by the alien's thrusting cock. Even now, Vahlen's dazed and confused mind began postulating that there was some sort of aphrodisiac in Sectoid precum that was managing to turn her body against her, changing her mood from disgusted to aroused in the span of a few minutes.

The real cause didn't matter as much as her current circumstances did though. Vahlen tried to stifle it, but the moans escaped her mouth anyways and soon her hips were humping back against the Sectoid Commander's thrusting cock as she subconsciously tried to get as much of his cock inside of her as he could. The Sectoid suddenly leaned forward and before she knew it, her top was torn off as well, her breasts revealed to the alien's mouth and tongue.

Vahlen whimpered and to her eternal shame she pushed her breasts up into the Sectoid Commander's questing mouth for him to suckle and nibble at, even as he continued to plow her senseless right there on the floor of his cell. The alien took his time enjoying every last bit of her voluptuous body as Vahlen writhed helplessly beneath him, and in the end he came deep inside of her without a care in the world, filling the blonde scientist's womb to the brim with his alien seed.

There was a brief pause as the Sectoid stayed still, his hard throbbing cock pulsating inside of her as he painted her inner walls white. Then, he pulled out and crept up to her head, presenting his messy alien member to her lips. Vahlen moaned wantonly and opened up, sucking the softening prick into her mouth and drinking it down. In that moment, the scientist's earlier theory was somewhat proven. The Sectoid's cum set her afire with need and she came hard from cleaning off the creature's messy shaft, her pussy juices exploding out of her and sending copious amounts of his seed across the floor as well.

Humping her face for a brief moment, the Sectoid Commander pulled back yet again once he was fully cleaned off and then slowly moved away, before slumping back down onto the floor, succumbing to slumber once again. It took Vahlen several minutes before she could lift herself off the ground, even though the psionic hold on her body had faded away as soon as the alien was off in La La land.

Slowly, ever so slowly, wincing as she felt twinges in her freshly fucked cunt, the blonde scientist got to her feet and limped out of the containment cell, hitting the button on the door on her way out and locking it behind her once more. Only once she was out did Vahlen fall to her knees, taking in deep lungful's of air as she calmed herself down and did her best to avoid hyperventilating.

The blonde hadn't wanted that… she still didn't want it now. But for a brief moment, the Sectoid Commander had MADE her want it and much to her shock and dismay, Vahlen felt a little tingle down below at the thought of being dominated and forced like that again. Shaking her head to clear it of such urges, Vahlen got back to her feet and slowly limped away from the dimly lit containment area, a grimace on her face as she thanked every deity she'd never believed in for the fact that most of X-Com's security had to be automated because of a lack of personnel.

The blonde made it back to her quarters without incident, and threw herself into a hot shower that turned progressively colder as she tried to forget the way the Sectoid's cock had felt inside of her cunt.

-x-X-x-

Another day, another mission. The X-Com Commander once again sat back in her chair, her mind a thousand miles away with the Squad she'd just sent out. Once again, each and every squad member was a female soldier in the X-Com Program, though this time there were five of them and only one had been on the last mission where the… incident had happened. The other four were all completely fresh rookies.

It felt right to mix in some new blood with the old. The crimson haired Commander was certain that a mixture of rookies and one veteran was the perfect combination to keep things going smoothly. And so far it looked like she might just be right. The five woman squad was moving up through the area with machine precision as the Commander used their numerous eyes to give herself a good top down view of the area.

Out of the corner of one of the rookie's periphery, the Commander caught a flicker of movement and saw the bulbous head of a Sectoid. Alerting the squad immediately through her mental connection with all of them, she watched on with a proud smile on her face as five heads turned and weapons came up. The Sectoid was lit up in an instant and died an extremely thorough death.

A thrill of satisfaction went through the Commander's form and she ran a hand over her clothed body, not quite touching herself inappropriately as she let out a happy sigh. The X-Com squad felt her enjoyment of their actions over the mental link, but only the veteran truly understood that the enjoyment had a tinge of arousal to it. The four rookies didn't really notice as they all got slightly aroused as well.

Everyone moved forward to new positions on the Commander's orders and the five women spread out to cover as much ground as possible while still keeping themselves in each other's line of sight. Things were going swimmingly and Sectoid after Sectoid was dropping dead, until suddenly, the squad ran into much heavier resistance.

A firefight began to take place as the Commander watched on wide eyed. Mutons, Thin Men, and several more Sectoids… this was a far greater force than she'd anticipated. And yet, with her instruction and strategy, they were actually managing to hold their own. As she watched on and continued to fire out rapid orders to all of the female squad mates, the Commander could even see a path to victory before her, a wide grin spreading across her face.

Just as they were killing off the last of the Sectoids though, things began to go bad. One of the Sectoids managed to get a shot off from a weapon neither the Commander nor any of the X-Com soldiers had ever seen before. They'd been avoiding the new energy bolts all the same up till now, but the Commander was not infallible and that final shot managed to strike one of the recruits across her flank.

Only, it didn't hurt her, not physically at least. What it did do was make her more aroused, something that didn't really affect the rookie too badly… but due to the mental link, it hit both the Commander and the Veteran she'd sent along with the squad rather hard. From there, a bit of a feedback loop formed and while the X-Com Commander was able to keep her cool mostly (she still had her hand between her legs as she continued to spout off orders mentally) the Veteran was not quite so calm.

The woman abruptly broke off from the group. To the rookies' eyes it looked like she was simply finding cover behind a nearby car wreck that was out of their line of sight. But the red head currently playing overwatch for all of them saw exactly what the Veteran was doing and yet… she didn't stop her. The X-Com soldier made it behind the car wreck and knelt there, dropping her weapons to the ground and beginning to frantically tear at her clothing so she could get at her hot and horny body.

At the same time, a Thin Man came out of the shadows nearby, approaching from the rest of the squad's blind spot as it looked upon the Veteran's aroused moaning form inquisitively. The X-Com Commander watched with wide eyes, her hand frozen against her covered cunt. She could stop this, she could do something that would prevent it… but in the end she chose not to, shamefully standing by and doing absolutely nothing as she watched the Thin Man release pheromones directly into the Veteran's face.

The already aroused woman's pleasure skyrocketed as she finally got two fingers into her sopping wet pussy. The overwhelming scent of the Thin Man's pheromones sent her right over the edge, but worse than that, it began to loop through the X-Com Commander back into the rookies who, without the Veteran's support, were slowly being overwhelmed.

As the pleasure grew and grew and grew the crimson haired Commander tore at her pants and stuck her hand inside of her panties, fingering herself desperately even as she felt the phantom sensation of a Thin Man's cock going down her throat. The Veteran was desperate as she sucked on that thick long dick and ultimately, it proved to be the undoing for the entire squad.

The rookies, not entirely sure what was happening, fell over, dropping their weapons and moaning needily as they began to rub themselves down, trying to get at their naked forms underneath their armor but already too turned on to be able to focus enough to do so. In the end, it was the Mutons who helped them out. Four of the hulking things emerged from their own cover once the shooting stopped, loping forward to find the X-Com squad disabled and debilitated right before them.

Armor and clothing was torn off and the red head moaned wantonly in her office as she felt the defilement of her subordinates. Every huge cock as it plowed a hole, she felt it. Five big fat alien dicks spread out among all three of her desperate, needy orifices. It was heaven and her pleasure looped back around into the X-Com squad as they all simply gave in, allowing themselves to be fucked senseless by the Muton in all manner of humiliating positions.

One found herself on her hands and knees being taken like a bitch from behind while the Muton used its large hands to grasp and grope her fat ass. Another was laid out on her back with her long flexible legs pushed back behind her shoulders, giving the Muton fucking her quite a lot of access to her holes. That one was interchanging between them, thrusting into her cunt and then thrusting into her ass, back and forth repeatedly in a way that would probably have been uncomfortable and even painful for the rookie if she wasn't currently feeling the rest of the squad's pleasure through the X-Com Commander.

Still a third was being held up off the ground by her neck, the Muton also gripping and holding out one of her legs as it slammed up into her naked, exposed cunt with great force, forcing her down onto its member at the same time. Impaling her again and again like that, all the helpless rookie could do was cry out in an ugly fashion as she was ruthlessly and brutally taken. And the fourth had a Muton cock lodged firmly down her throat as the alien held her upside down along its body, spreading her legs wide and licking at her cunt.

The standing sixty nine was a particularly strange sexual act for the seemingly savage aliens to engage in. Performing cunnilingus on a human woman spoke of more intelligence in the Mutons than they'd originally given them credit for. Not that the crimson haired X-Com Commander was really thinking about that at the moment. Instead she was focused entirely on just how good it felt to be fucked and licked by phantom cock and phantom tongue at the exact same time.

She happily shared this sensation with her subordinates, even the Veteran who by this point was flat on her back, her arms and legs wrapped around the Thin Man's tall thing body as it violated her right there on the ground behind the wreck of the car. The brutal forced yet not-so-forced orgy continued for some time as the aliens once again had their way with the human women who had sought to battle them. And the human women, rookies included, enjoyed every last second of their defilement, climaxing again and again around alien dick.

Ultimately though, the Mutons tired of their fucking after filling each hole their prey had to offer with alien seed. Once every rookie had swallowed a thick load of Muton cum as well as taken two more loads in their cunts and asses respectively, the hulking aliens pulled back, leaving the fucked senseless X-Com soldiers where they lay to slowly recover.

The Veteran and the Thin Man on the other hand were a different story. Perhaps it was the fact that she'd been through it once before or perhaps the Thin Man just had less stamina than the Mutons. Or less common sense, that was also a distinct possibility. Either way, in the end the Veteran ended up on top, riding the Thin Man to yet another completion for the both of them. Then, she grabbed up her Arc Thrower from where she'd dropped it earlier and discharged the thing right into the Thin Man's chest, panting heavily as she disabled the alien.

Yet another success, at least in the Commander's mind. As the X-Com squad limped back to the pick-up point with their prisoner secured, the red head made sure to send them feelings of satisfaction and accomplishment. This was a job well done and she made sure they all knew it, not even realizing just how deep her control over their mental connection went.

While the X-Com Commander believed she was simply assuaging their concerns and their shame and their embarrassment, what she was actually doing was supplanting them instead, replacing their negative feelings with her own far more positive ones. In that moment, the four rookies were as infected with the need for alien dick as the Veteran was. A need that would only arise under specific circumstances, but it was there nonetheless, lurking beneath the surface.

Smiling as she sensed feelings of satisfaction over completing the mission back from all five minds she was currently attached to, the crimson haired Commander leaned back in her comfortable chair and began to touch herself again, rubbing her exposed pussy lips and pushing a hand into her buttoned blouse to grab at her large bra-clad tits.

Today was proving to be such a good day.

-x-X-x-

Later on, Dr. Vahlen was beginning to feel the exact same way. After that humiliating encounter with the Sectoid Commander, the blonde scientist really needed some payback. Getting to vivisect a Thin Man that their new five woman squad had brought back for her was close enough to that feeling for Vahlen to be satisfied.

The alien squealed in pain, laid out on the table as it was before her, restrained and barely able to thrash about. With bindings all along its long thin body, the creature could do nothing but protest verbally and wiggle a little bit physically, even as Vahlen cut into it.

Her assistants were outside the room, taking readings utilizing equipment that was hooked into the alien's vitals. Vahlen was the only one in the operating theater, just the way she liked it. After all, while a proper human surgery might need a full complement of support staff to protect the health of the patient, this was not a surgery and Vahlen was not acting the part of a surgeon.

This was research, plain and simple. And as she looked at the insides of the writhing Thin Man, splayed open as they were before her, Vahlen could feel herself coming to some sort of epiphany. It was right there in front of her. And then she realized what it was. Something she'd theorized but until now hadn't quite proven… the Thin Men were genetically modified. The species, they weren't born like this. No, someone or more accurately, something had made them this way, made them into lackluster infiltrators for the alien conglomerate's invasion of Earth.

That realization unlocked a whole slew of ideas in Vahlen's mind as she stared down at the still living alien's insides, a wide toothy grin across her face. She would need to do more research, but perhaps gene modification was the next step. Perhaps, to beat these aliens back, to defeat them at their own game, X-Com would need to dive into their tactics.

Imagining X-Com squads enhanced with alien technology and modified to utilize powers and abilities beyond human comprehension made Vahlen a little wet just from thinking about it. She bit her lower lip and glanced back down at the Thin Man's splayed open chest once more. This time though, she saw something she hadn't noticed before. There was a yellow pouch of some sort near the top of the Thin Man's ribcage, above the heart and most of the other organs. It hadn't been yellow originally though and it also hadn't been so enlarged.

Leaning forward to stare at it, Vahlen brought her scalpel to bear on the growing yellow pouch as something in her mind told her to cut into it. Against her better judgment, which was currently being smothered in a corner by that same 'something', the blonde scientist inched her scalpel ever closer, eventually pressing the small yet all too sharp blade down on the bulbous sack.

The Thin Man let out an inhuman all-to-alien screech as the pouch burst and not only did the Thin Man's pheromones go right up Vahlen's nose, the liquid that the pheromones came from sprayed all across the surprised blonde's face. The scientist immediately reared back, coughing and hacking as she stumbled only to fall on her ass. Alarms went off around her and the door suddenly opened to discharge an X-Com Soldier with a gun. A moment later and the alien was dead, shot through the head by the laser rifle, while Vahlen's assistants were helping her up.

The scientist could already feel the pheromones at work. She was hornier than she'd ever been before now within just a few seconds, but she still had enough presence of mind to push her assistants away.

"I'm fine! I'm FINE!"

Declaring this with a flushed face covered in alien juices probably wasn't very convincing, but being the Chief Science Officer in X-Com did give Vahlen some leeway. She wiped her face clean with a provided towel and then handed it off to be analyzed even as she began to walk out of the lab. Her assistants tried to stop her, tried to suggest she stay around until they could know if she was safe. Vahlen vehemently disagreed, using her position and her authority to override every last one of them.

In the end, she made it all the way to the Commander's office, knowing the red head would be the only one who could help her now. By the time she reached the door to said office, Vahlen was covered in sweat, her pussy leaking nonstop between her legs, her panties already soaked through and dribbling down her thighs as she pressed the door panel and slipped inside.

The crimson haired Commander looked up in surprise as Vahlen approached her desk, but the blonde didn't hesitate for even a moment, reaching said desk and planting her hands palm down on it as she looked at her superior, breathing heavily, her chest heaving beneath her white lab coat.

"C-Commander… I need your help with something."

-x-X-x-

After the good doctor had rudely barged in on her, the Commander had forced Vahlen to tell her exactly what was happening. It was obvious as the blonde forced the words out that she was not doing well. The way Vahlen was grinding up against the edge of the Commander's desk told the red head all she needed to know about how horny her Chief Scientist was.

By the end of it, Vahlen was barely staying on her feet as she finished her little explanation with a plea for help, both verbal and nonverbal, her eyes begging the Commander for relief even as her lips did the same.

"Please Commander; I beg of you, please… I can't go to anyone else about this, it's only you."

Vahlen was not wrong. Smirking slightly and feeling a bit heady with the control that she had over this situation when compared to the last two missions and the lack of control she had while her subordinates were gangbanged by aliens, the red head rose from her seat. Walking around her desk as a hopeful Vahlen looked at her, the X-Com Commander lashed out, grabbing Vahlen by her blonde ponytail with one hand and sticking the other under Vahlen's lab coat and skirt.

Pushing her fingers between Vahlen's legs from behind, the crimson haired woman dragged them back and forth across the blonde's covered-cunt, her panties clinging to her body like a second skin due to how soaked through the undergarment was by this point. Grinning wider, the X-Com Commander tugged at Vahlen's ponytail even as she spoke into her Chief Science Officer's ear.

"Naughty, naughty doctor. What were you thinking, making such a rookie mistake like that? And now where has it gotten you? Here, with me. Take off your lab coat."

While the majority of what she said was spoken in a soft seductive tone, the last four words came out in as a sharp command that Vahlen, horny and aroused as she was, obeyed immediately, pulling the white lab coat off her body and tossing it to the side. The X-Com Commander moved behind the delightfully wet doctor and pinned her to the edge of the desk she was already pressed up against. Once she was holding Vahlen in place with her body, the red head let go of the scientist's ponytail and moved her hand to Vahlen's bust instead, rubbing her own large tits against Vahlen's back all while molesting her chest.

The blonde scientist moaned out wantonly, all semblance of the brilliant, proud woman erased and replaced with a mewling sex pet as Vahlen ground her hips back against her superior's questing hand and panted heavily. It was exactly what she wanted and when the red head finally pushed past her panties and slid her fingers directly into Vahlen's cunt, it was more than that, it was what she NEEDED.

Dr. Vahlen came on the spot, looking like more of a slut than a doctor as she cried out keenly and expelled her pussy juices all over the Commander's hand. That didn't stop the leader of X-Com though, as the crimson haired beauty kept right on fingering Vahlen right into another climax only a couple minutes later. By this point, Vahlen's legs were jelly and the busty woman she reported to was just as aroused as she was. As such, when the Commander pulled back and let Vahlen fall off of her desk onto her knees, the blonde just moaned and turned to face her superior, even as the red head unbuttoned and unzipped her pants, tugging them and her panties down her legs to expose her own juicy cunt.

"Time to return the favor Dr. Vahlen. Get in here."

The Commander punctuated that demand by latching onto Vahlen's blonde ponytail once more and pulling her close. The next moment, Vahlen's face was buried in the X-Com Commander's snatch as the red head (and the carpet really did match the drapes as Vahlen had just found out!) forced her Chief Science Officer to eat her out, right there in her office.

Vahlen didn't mind in the slightest. Instead, she was rather eager to return the favor that the Commander had just so graciously done her. Her tongue glided into her superior's warm wet insides and she writhed the flexible muscle around within the red head's pussy as best she could. Vahlen's hands even came up to grab onto the X-Com Commander's toned legs, latching on so she could better stabilize herself and lean forward even further without falling onto her face.

The blonde scientist happily licked at the dripping wet cunt before her, until eventually the Commander cried out in the same manner she'd made Vahlen, her pussy juices flowing all over Vahlen's face and down her chin onto her chest as the red head doubled over Vahlen's body, planting a hand on her desk to steady herself. Vahlen leaned back against said desk herself, the cool wood feeling great against her neck as she panted heavily, staring up into her superior's eyes while the red head looked down at her with a flushed face.

Both of them could see what the other wanted. Luckily, they were of the same mind on that front, only one thing going through both of their heads. More. They each wanted more. Moving as one, Vahlen rose slightly to meet the X-Com Commander even as the red head fell. They knelt together, wrapping their arms around one another. Though neither of them noticed it, both women were feeling the other's pleasure. The alien device connecting the Commander to her troops was doing its work well and though Vahlen had never been connected to the network, her superior was slowly but surely becoming psionic, reaching out to the blonde scientist and transmitting her pleasure to her.

As they kissed, this feedback loop continued until they both fell over onto the floor entirely, laying intertwined and ultimately ending up in a sixty nine as they licked each other's cunts, eating one another out and bringing themselves to a mutual climax. When it finale came, the orgasm was explosive, built upon by the same feedback loop that had seen the X-Com squad falling in battle to the aliens today.

The Commander and her Chief Science Officer shook and spasmed, orgasming all over one another's faces and simply laying there in a strange sort of embrace as they enjoyed the warmth of each other's bodies for a brief time. All good things must come to an end though and neither wanted to be caught in such a compromising position. In the end, they rose off the floor by mutual decision and began to straighten themselves up.

Vahlen stood with her back straight as her superior, the leader of X-Com, walked back around her desk and sat down heavily in her chair, clearing her throat and looking anywhere but Vahlen's face.

"R-right then. I do hope you're feeling better aligned now Dr. Vahlen. I can't have my Chief Scientist being so easily distracted by such amorous thoughts. I suppose if you have them again in the future, you can always come to me to take care of them."

Both women were blushing in embarrassment. There was a shame to what they had done, but neither truly regretted it, despite the fact that they were supposed to be professionals and supposed to be fighting a war with the alien forces that were seeking to conquer their world, rather than fornicating with one another in the Commander's office. Ultimately, Vahlen just nodded her head up and down in agreement.

"As you say Commander."

With that exchange finished, the blushing blonde scientist spun on her heel and began to walk out of the office, feeling the X-Com Commander's gaze burning a hole through her skirt as the red head stared at her shapely swaying ass. It made Vahlen all hot and bothered all over again and when she reached for the door handle in front of her, she stopped, biting her lower lip and then spinning back around.

Her walk back towards the surprised Commander's desk was much faster as she smacked her hands down on the surface once more and stared into her superior's confused eyes.

"Commander, I am having amorous thoughts again! I'll need you to take care of them for me!"

The crimson haired leader of the organization that served as humanity's last hope stared her Chief Scientist in the eye for a long moment before slowly pushing out from her desk, gesturing for Vahlen to come to her. The blonde did and then she knelt down at further nonverbal instruction, crawling into the space under the X-Com Commander's desk and turning around to find the beautiful red head's pussy lips right in front of her.

Dr. Vahlen ate out the Commander's pussy for the rest of the day and if anyone asked, the official reports said she was resting in her room after the incident with the Thin Man's pheromone pouch. All Vahlen knew was that licking her superior's cunt was one of the most satisfying things she'd ever done for some reason. And the next day, after spending hours on her knees with her tongue inside of the Commander and her fingers inside of herself, the blonde scientist's mind was practically brimming with ideas for genetic modifications to X-com's s troops.

They would defeat the alien menace yet!

-x-X-x-

A lone soldier stood in a darkened warehouse. The X-Com patch stood out starkly on her otherwise bare flak vest. The female trooper held a large rifle in her arms like it was nothing, spinning this way and that on a dime as she looked for hostiles. Then they began to appear, Sectoid after Sectoid in rapid succession.

In five seconds, the X-Com soldier had placed bullets in the foreheads of five alien scum. Well, technically she'd placed bullets in the foreheads of five alien cardboard cutouts, but the effect was still pretty thrilling. The simulation ended, the lights in the warehouse came on, and the female trooper smiled happily as her squad mates ran out to meet her, whooping and hollering.

In the observation deck above the large empty space, Vahlen's assistants were all fairly excited by the results of the test as well; murmuring to each other as they carefully avoided the blonde woman that was their boss. Dr. Vahlen stood with her arms crossed over her chest as she looked down at the volunteer below, a small sharp smile on her face.

Unlike the soldiers and the techs, Vahlen was not so interested in celebrating the trooper's victory. She wasn't even interested in celebrating her own success. In the end, this was just the next step in the blonde scientist's research. A successful test, yet, but just another test nonetheless. Still, it was… heartening to see how far they'd come in just a few short weeks. Vahlen had delved into gene modification like a mad woman and she knew that without the Commander's support, she'd never have gotten this far.

There were some small concerns with what she was currently doing, but so long as the leader of X-Com herself was signing off on everything and giving it her full backing, nobody dared raise their voice in dissent. To appease the few detractors that her gene modding work had, Vahlen had been nice enough to make it a volunteer only research project.

This had slowed things down a little at first, but especially after today, Vahlen imagined that there'd be no shortage of volunteers for future experiments. Not anymore, not after seeing what the soldier down below had been able to do. Their reflexes were faster, their arms and legs stronger, their bodies as a whole just plain tougher. The downsides were that they were using alien DNA to enhance human bodies.

This made the X-Com soldiers who volunteered for the gene modding slightly more like the aliens they were fighting. Though Vahlen didn't realize it, wasn't allowed to realize it in fact, this made it so that any 'enhanced' female human could theoretically be impregnated by their inhuman foes. On a more concerning note tactically, it made the X-Com soldiers far more vulnerable to the pheromone attacks that some of the alien species could unleash on them. Still, the gene mods were too valuable NOT to be used regardless of downsides.

Vahlen had even developed a gene mod for the mind that would make the connection of the alien devices between the X-Com Commander and her troops even stronger. That at least, nobody had been able to construe as a bad thing or a crime against humanity. After all, the mind meld devices had allowed for mission after mission without any squad casualties. Most of the time, the all-female X-Com Squads came back without a scratch on them and more often than not they also came back with prisoners or technology.

There was no one who could possibly find fault the Commander's leadership. Not with the results she and Vahlen had started showing as of late. A slightly larger smile spread across the blonde scientist's face as she thought of the red head she'd become slightly… enamored with. She spent quite some time under the Commander's desk these days, at least once a day in fact. Vahlen always had her best epiphanies on her knees. She did her best thinking with her head between the Commander's thighs.

Licking her lips, Vahlen wiped any trace of emotion or arousal from her face when she finally turned away from the observation glass. Walking across the room, she took hold of the case she'd prepared earlier in the event of a successful test. Tucking it under her arm, X-Com's Chief Science Officer left the observatory behind and headed to the other side of the underground base, making a beeline for the Commander's office.

Once she arrived, she knocked and a moment later was admitted. Judging by the flush she saw on the red head's face as she walked up to the X-Com Commander's desk, her superior had been… taking care of herself when Vahlen came calling. Licking her lips, the blonde scientist momentarily considered helping finish the woman off before they continued, but ultimately she fought back against what was rapidly becoming a natural instinct. Vahlen managed this by focusing on what she had for the Commander, rather than what the Commander had for her.

Setting down the case she'd lugged halfway across the base, Vahlen faced it towards the crimson haired woman sitting in front of her and undid the clasps, opening it up to reveal the filled injectors within. The X-Com Commander's eyes lit up slightly as she took them all in.

"I take it today's test was a total success then?"

Vahlen grinned at that and nodded.

"The trooper did us proud Commander. There were no complications so here I am, reporting as instructed to help you get started on your own gene therapy. Once this first batch of injections has properly set within your body, we can see about increasing things another level."

X-Com's leader nodded a spark of desire in her eyes as she stared at the injectors. After a moment though, the crimson haired buxom beauty furrowed her brow in confusion and reached out, touching two of the injectors that were colored the same.

"What is this one and why am I taking two of it?"

Vahlen blinked and looked down before blushing slightly like the love struck young women she'd always looked down upon.

"A-ah, that second one isn't for you, it's for me. That's the mod focused on the mind. It'll hook me into your primary mind meld device so that we are always c-connected Commander. Your own injection will strengthen your connection and your control over all of those linked to the network, including myself."

The desire in the red head's eyes only grew, becoming something more akin to greed as her lips turned up into a wide smile.

"Then I suppose that's where we'll start, isn't it?"

Blushing even harder now, Vahlen nodded almost shyly, the normally stoic and composed blonde scientist completely unable to control herself around the woman she'd spent so much time eating out over the past few weeks. Reaching forward, Dr. Vahlen grabbed her own injector at the same time as her superior grabbed hers. Together, the two of them placed it against their necks and pressed the trigger.

The first of many injections flooded through their systems and Vahlen gasped as she became part of something bigger, albeit still slightly apart from the whole. It was like being the assistant coach to a football team. The X-Com Commander would of course be the coach in that analogy, with the actual X-Com squads playing the role of the players.

She was definitely closer to the Commander's mind than anything else; being able to reach out metaphorically and mentally touch the red head's warm inviting presence with barely a thought. However, if she focused hard enough she could sense the soldiers as well. She didn't think they could sense her presence though, not unless the Commander allowed it and currently, the crimson haired beauty wasn't.

Wondering why, Vahlen frowned as she 'leaned' back from the mindscape she'd been playing around in, only to find the X-Com Commander sitting in front of her, a wide grin on her face and every injector in the case already emptied.

"Doctor, is there a problem? Did you… get lost in me?"

Blinking dumbly, the blonde scientist glanced at a nearby wall and realized that she'd been standing there focused on the mental connection for over ten minutes, giving the Commander plenty of time to finish injecting the alien genes into her body. Biting her lower lip as she felt a fresh surge of arousal well up within her, her pussy starting to moisten immediately, Vahlen nodded.

The X-Com Commander's grin just widened even further and she gestured down at her crotch. Hurriedly, the Chief Science Officer of humanity's best hope for beating back the alien menace fast walked around her superior's desk, knelt down at the Commander's side, and then crawled into the space under said desk in order to eat her out.

As Vahlen got down to carpet munching while at the same time fingering herself quite needily, her superior curled a hand through her blonde locks and let out a slow sigh. The Commander's own cunt swiftly grew wet under Vahlen's attentions and in no time at all Vahlen had a face full of pussy juices to contend with. She didn't mind them one single bit.

-x-X-x-

Time went by and things changed, dramatically. First and foremost, the Commander got a cock. Yes, that was the most important thing to happen, because it was what affected Vahlen most directly. The blonde scientist was shocked to learn that the extra gene mods that she'd prepared for the Commander that had to do with multitasking better and using rudimentary psionics as they'd seen from some of the aliens, had somehow given the red head a full on dick.

No longer did the X-Com Commander have a pussy for Vahlen to eat out. The busty red head had become a full on futanari, something that Vahlen had learned about on one drunken lonely night back in her college days. X-Com's leader still had the tits and the hips and the body shape of a woman, but there now swung a full blown dick between her legs, rather than the cunt that Vahlen had gotten so used to.

She learned to suck cock, specifically the Commander's, quite well though given enough time. Of course, specifying it was the Commander's actually wasn't that important after the second dramatic change to how X-Com worked. One of the other gene mods Vahlen had developed had ultimately been given the green light to be put into use for the organization's general population.

In essence, every male member of X-Com, soldiers and engineers and scientists alike, had been given the option to either take a supporting role in the fight against the alien menace… or be turned female. It was a bit of a shock for the entire organization of course, but their reasoning was quite sound and completely infallible. The mental connection that the Commander shared with their troops was phenomenal and after using herself as a test case for civilian use of said connection, Vahlen was happy to put her stamp on a memo that said the rest of the base's personnel would benefit from said connection as well.

Unfortunately for the men of X-Com, the mental connection did not work as well with them. In fact, it had nearly killed the Commander and the men connected to her. In the end, only women could be added to the network… but the network was crucial to their fight against the invasion taking place across Earth. That left just one option. Make X-Com completely female. Yet there were many skilled and experienced soldiers, engineers, and scientists among X-Com's male population. It wasn't right to remove them simply for what lay between their legs.

So of course, Vahlen devised a way to remove what lay between their legs and replace it with a nice pair of breasts, wide hips, and a cute little vagina. The fact that the Commander now had a dick as well was lost on both her and her Chief Science Officer, but then that was on purpose. By this point, the Ethereals had wormed their way into the X-Com Commander's head quite effectively and Vahlen really wasn't any better off.

Ultimately, most men took the gender swap. The people who were recruited into X-Com were not known for their selfishness and their narcissism. No, the men and women who made up Earth's Last Hope were in fact the bravest, most courageous, and most patriotic motherfuckers on the planet. And wasn't it something, that all it took was an alien invasion to make patriotism more about being a member of the human race than it was about loyalty to one particular stretch of Earth surrounded by invisibly borders above all the others.

The men and women of X-Com were there to save their species and their world. And so, the men of X-Com became women and in the end, X-Com became an all-female organization. It wasn't overnight, not by a long shot. There were a few dissenters who ultimately ended up being sent back to their prospective governments, usually in disgrace for not being willing to give all.

But ultimately, the change was made. And those who had once been men didn't even notice as their mindsets swapped to that of women in the days that followed thanks to their direct connection to the Commander and their natural born female comrades. X-Com became a cohesive fighting force, but it also became more unified inside of the base as well, as the women, both newly transformed and naturally born, worked together for the salvation of the human race.

… Or so they thought.

-x-X-x-

The X-Com Commander smiled, leaning back as she looked through a squad of six's eyes at the battle before them. The squad was, to put it succinctly, kicking serious ass. With the full complement of approved gene mods in their bodies, these six women were X-Com's finest now. They were the strongest, the faster, and the toughest. And the aliens they were fighting truly didn't know what had hit them.

There were bodies strewn all across the battlefield as the crimson haired Commander mentally directed the Heavy to place her boot heel directly on the neck of the barely breathing mutated Viper laid out beneath her. The Vipers were an interesting addition to the war against the aliens, showing up as they had only recently. But this one was off, which was why the busty red head in charge of X-Com had ultimately decided to have them capture it alive.

The squad of six had secured the site and killed everything else. Now it was just them and this… this Viper King? It certainly looked bigger and badder than the other Vipers they'd come across. The Commander had a moment of naughtiness as she wondered briefly if it was bigger in another way as well. The six women currently connected most closely to her mind blushed in unison, each remembering the experiences they'd had with the snake-like aliens' inhuman cocks.

All of them glanced down at once to stare at where they each knew the cloacal opening would lie on this massive beast before them. Worse than that, the all-female squad knew exactly how to start coaxing his dick out. They were moments away from doing so (and the Commander was moments away from allowing it) when the evac arrived, having been called in moments earlier. There was a sense of disappointment in all of them and it followed the squad as they dragged the still conscious Viper King onto the ship and strapped him in before doing the same to themselves.

The monstrous Viper's eyes flicked back and forth between the human females as the ship carried them back to base, his tongue snaking out and tasting the air. When he found it laden with scents of arousal, the Viper King literally couldn't resist releasing pheromones. His pheromones were invisible to the naked eye though, and by the time the X-Com Squad smelled it, it was already too late.

The red haired leader of X-Com, watching and feeling all of this from her office blushed furiously as the X-Com soldiers got out of their seats, discarding their webbing in favor of crouching down beside the bound Viper King. Gloves and vests and shirts came off, followed by boots and pants and panties. The driver glanced back, but she was connected to the Commander's mind as well and all she did was smile as her face heated up in arousal at the sight of her comrades preparing to fuck the massive alien snake.

Several hands moved to the Viper King's cloacal opening and after some massaging, a particularly large hemipenis unfurled from within the Viper's body, growing larger and larger before the eyes of the women so in need of a good dicking. In no time at all, the first of the six woman squad was on the Viper King's dick, riding it like there was no tomorrow. She came again and again around his cock and shared her enjoyment and pleasure with her comrades both vocally and mentally. This was the reason that the other five women were willing to wait their turns, leaning back and fingering themselves as they watched.

All six members of the squad felt the Viper King's cock inside of them, as did the X-Com Commander. It felt odd, feeling a ghost dick fucking the vagina she no longer had, but she'd lived with a pussy for so long that the sensation transferred over perfectly. And in the end, the Commander's futa prick grew fast and it grew oh so large as the red head moaned, beginning to stroke herself off right there in her office, desperate for release.

Unfortunately, her new member was so big and so massive that her hands weren't doing it for her. Not even the pleasure she was feeling from the women as they fucked themselves on the Viper King's cock wasn't enough. More than that, it didn't feel quite right. It was like she needed something else, a hole to stick her huge length in and dominate thoroughly before she could finally cum.

The door to her office suddenly slid open as a panting blushing Dr. Vahlen used the emergency override code to get in without the Commander's permission. Yet, the red head wasn't too upset by the action, especially when the blonde scientist began stripping as she walked towards the desk that X-Com's leader was sat behind.

Standing up, the busty crimson haired futa met Vahlen halfway and in the next moment, her Chief Science Officer was pinned face down on the carpet of the Commander's office, her cunt taking quite the pounding as the red head slammed in and out of it. Vahlen moaned wantonly, climaxing almost immediately around her superior's cock, but that was just the beginning for the poor blonde. The Commander fucked Vahlen through orgasm after orgasm of her own, her futa prick having a seemingly inexhaustible supply of cum as she filled the blonde up over and over again.

Ultimately, Vahlen took the Commander's dick for hours. After all, the red haired woman railing into her from behind wasn't done until the X-Com Squad she was mentally connected to came in for a landing at base and finally stopped fucking the Viper King that had them all so damn aroused. Only once that little reverse gangbang ended did the Commander's massive hard member finally stop aching and throbbing so much.

Only once the Viper King was secured in the labs and the X-Com Squad was showering off theirs and his juices did the red head manage to pull out of Vahlen's gaping cunt, unleashing a torrent of white hot cum in the process as the nearly insensate blonde shuddered and spasmed, her distended midriff slowly deflating as all of that sticky seed finally escaped her.

Clearing her throat, the X-Com Commander looked at what she'd done to her Chief Scientist and blushed prettily, embarrassed in her actions but unable to truly feel shame over them. Smiling sheepishly, the busty futa reached down and picked Vahlen up bridal style, an easy task given the strength mod she'd been injected with.

Never before had the Commander been happier to have a personal bath right off of her office. It made dumping Vahlen in the combination bathtub shower and spraying the delirious woman down with ice cold water all the easier in the end. When Vahlen was presentable once more, for a given definition of the term, the red head sent her Chief Science Officer back to work. After all, it couldn't all be about sex. Vahlen had a new alien to study and vivisect.

-x-X-x-

Later that night, the Commander of X-Com, Earth's Last Hope and last line of defense, dreamed. And if any of the nations of the world had been privy to those dreams, they no doubt would have stripped her of her rank, or better yet, disbanded X-Com altogether. Because these days, the busty red head dreamed not of victory, but of peace with the aliens.

She dreamed of Ethereals, the alien commanders of the conglomerate of species that had invaded Earth. And though she only remembered it in her dreams and never in the waking world, the Commander dreamed that she learned from these ancient and wise creatures. In the beginning, these dreams had felt like nightmares. In the beginning, the Commander had resisted and the conversion had been against her will.

But that's the thing about conversion. There comes a point where the one being converted stops knowing that they need to fight. The Commander had reached that point a while ago and now she was happy in her dreams, happy to learn at the metaphysical feet of such wondrous beings of knowledge and wisdom. She was, in essence, happy to be converted.

You will become one of us.

"Yes teacher, but you must guide me and my people as you have so many before us."

It was glorious, what they'd already shown her. The Ethereals were not here to conquer or subjugate or even more laughably, destroy Earth and the human race. They were here to uplift them. Her species was the next in a long line of species that the Ethereals had taken under their wing, protected, molded, sculpted. Humanity was due for a chance and these amazing, awe-inspiring aliens would be that change.

You will become one of us.

Though they really could drone on sometimes. The X-Com Commander felt a small spark of irritation at the repetitive nature of some of these dream conversations.

"Yes, but how? How do I become one of you? How do I save my people?"

The process has already begun. You need do nothing but accept all that we offer. Your chance to save your people will come and when it does, you will be ready so long as you do not resist our gifts.

Well, that was a bit clearer at least, thankfully.

"I do not remember our conversations in the waking world though! How am I to keep myself from resisting? Out there, outside of this dream, I believe I am fighting you with all my heart! What if I do some actual damage to your plans without knowing better? What if the waking me manages to find and hurt one of you?!"

The process has already begun. There is no danger.

Great, back to repetition. Doing the metaphysical equivalent of an explosive sigh, the busty red head shrugged her mental shoulders.

"Alright then. I trust you teacher. I know you have my best interests in heart. I just have to have faith that everything will work out according to your plan and your design."

Indeed my child. Rest easy and know that you will be the instrument of our victory. It is through you that the human race will be saved.

That was a nice thought. The crimson haired Commander smiled at it and then the dream began to fade away and so did her smile. She hated waking up, hated losing all that she was, all that the Ethereals had made her once she was back in the waking world. But she'd long since outgrown the desire to throw a tantrum over it. She would not beg them to keep her asleep forever as she had a while ago, back when the conversion first started to take hold and she went from foolishly resistant to ecstatically jubilant overnight.

Letting out a sigh and accepting that it would be another day before she could see her teacher and bask in his and his kin's beautiful psionic presence again, the Commander of X-Com woke up and forgot everything.

"It is through me that the human race will be saved."

They were the first words out of the woman's mouth as she sat up in bed. The beautiful busty red head frowned, her brow furrowing in confusion as she reached up and touched her lips.

"What the hell?"

It was a rather innocuous line to be fair. Given her position, it was actually perfectly understandable. Still though…

"The fuck kind of dream was I having?"

Yet try as she might, the red head couldn't remember. It was always so frustrating, losing one's dreams like that. Usually it was hit and miss, but of course, thanks to the Ethereals' manipulations, X-Com's Commander didn't realize that she'd actually lost all memories of her dreams for the past several weeks now. She couldn't even focus on the idea for longer than a few seconds.

Letting out a shrug, the red head pulled the covers back and swung her feet off the side of her bed. Immediately she felt the huge hard on between her legs and a whimper escaped the Commander's throat as she instinctively reached down and stroked her massive futa cock. She needed relief and fast. Luckily for her, she knew someone who could take care of her and not only was this person always awake by this time of morning anyways, she was quite eager to give the Commander relief anytime, anyplace.

Licking her lips and smiling wickedly, the leader of X-Com let the last thoughts of her dreams fade away without a fight as she instead focused all of her attention on firing off a message to her Chief Science Officer. Vahlen responded in seconds with the letters 'omw' and within minutes, the door to the Commander's quarters announced a visitor waiting for her approval.

The red head let her cute blonde cum dump in of course, and the two met halfway before falling to the floor in a pile of flailing limbs and smacking lips. Elsewhere, an Ethereal 'looked on' in undisguised interest. Human mating rituals were… intriguing. The frail being could never hope to physically partake in such activities itself, but it and several of its comrades had certainly enjoyed watching and feeling through the eyes of their expendable troops as said troops fucked the shit out of the X-Com Squads.

Watching the leader of X-Com fuck her Chief Scientist however, was a new feeling entirely. Perhaps it was simply because the Ethereal studying their copulation knew that every time they reached orgasm, they were brainwashing themselves a bit more right there on the spot. Or perhaps it was just simply entertaining, watching two of the humans that COULD have given the Ethereals the most trouble reduced to this.

Even if the red haired mammal was set to become one of them and lead her species forward unto glory, it was still entertaining watching her cavort about as she was now. The fragile Ethereal settled back and continued to observe with the equivalent of a smile emanating from it psionically.

All was going according to plan.

-x-X-x-

Dr. Vahlen smiled wickedly as she looked down through the observation window at the jungle-like terrarium below. It'd taken some doing to construct the thing, but the Commander had given the order and her blonde Chief Scientist wasn't the kind to refuse her. After the capture of the Viper King, they'd held him in a normal cell for a bit, before this had become his new home.

They'd been running tests and experiments on the massive Viper ever since his arrival, but it'd just made sense that putting him in a more natural sort of habitat would get better results for said tests. Just like this upcoming experiment just made sense to Vahlen. The blonde scientist's wicked smile grew even wider as the doors to the Viper King's cell slid open and two groups of X-Com Soldiers moved in, weapons drawn.

This was going to be… fun.

-x-X-x-

"I get the rationale behind using this bastard to get some practice in for the real fight out there, but are we sure these non-lethal rounds will even touch him?"

That came from one of the members of the new X-Com Squad. These were all women who had once been men, though part of the process had made it so that the change was mental as well as physical. They remembered being male, but couldn't fathom enjoying it any longer. They were women, through and through. The other X-Com Squad was the same squad that had 'captured' the Viper King in the first place. Given their experience, it was thought that they would be best to 'break in' the newbies.

Said Squad looked to each other, exchanging wicked grins before their Squad Leader spoke up in response to the rookie's concern.

"I suppose we're about to find out. Do you smell that? Those are its pheromones."

As if on cue, the Viper King falls from the tree above and lands atop the Squad Leader, pinning her down with an 'oof!' though the woman doesn't really resist either. There's pandemonium among the rookies as they all fire at once, to absolutely no effect on the massive, armored Viper.

"Hold your fire! Hold your fire! It's not working!"

That comes from one of the 'experienced' soldiers and the newbies eventually stop firing, frozen stiff as they stare at the massive Viper King and their leader, groaning and moaning and squirming ineffectually beneath him.

"Our weapons have no effect rookies… we need to defeat him the same way we did out in the wild. Put down your guns and rifles, slowly. Show him your hands, show him your submission."

"What the hell?! What kind of tactic is that?! How is that supposed to help-AIIIEEE!"

The Viper King surges forward and grabs up the female rookie who's shouting. He hisses in her face and then tears her armor off of her. In moments, the X-Com Soldier is impaled on the alien's massive schlong as he thrusts up into her, all while gripping her waist and dragging her up and down his shaft like some sort of sex toy.

Those who are used to this sort of thing just smile happily and begin to strip naked, the Squad Leader included now that she's no longer pinned. The rookies, seeing this, are horrified. Each and every one of them runs, but none can escape the cell. They aren't equipped to break out after all. Dr. Vahlen gets some exceedingly helpful data over the next few hours as the Viper King slakes his lusts on each and every single human woman in his enclosure.

He starts with the talkative one, and by the time he's dropping her back to the 'jungle' floor, the rookie's eyes are rolled back in her head and her belly is distended, full of alien seed. The Viper King looks around at all the naked women kneeling in his vicinity, his tongue snaking out and a low, pleased hiss leaving his through. But ultimately, he leaves them where they are and commences to hunt instead.

Each and every X-Com rookie is dragged back to that spot and fucked senseless in front of the naked, submissive soldiers. Each and every one is pumped full of cum and left moaning wantonly for more. The Viper King pulls the entire five-woman squad back to where their comrades await them patiently. Only once he's done seeding the resistant ones does he move onto the more pliant ones.

But in the end, both X-Com Squads are soundly, thoroughly fucked by the Viper King, filled with both cum and pleasure as the X-Com Commander makes sure from afar that they learn the joys of being plowed by alien dick. The red head doesn't even know the real reason she's doing it. Her subconscious mind, the one influenced by the Ethereals, is prodding her along.

Dr. Vahlen is too far gone to question it though. Ultimately, she gets too much delicious data to go over, not to mention the fact that preliminary readings suggest that all TEN women might be pregnant once the Viper King is done with him. After the alien tires himself out, the naked, cum-cover, cum-filled women slowly pick themselves up, the experienced ones helping the rookies to their feet.

"What'd I tell you rookie? Didn't I say we'd defeat him?"

The rookie can only nod tiredly, though she has the good grace to look sheepish over questioning a soldier with more experience than her.

"You were right… that was much more effective than those nonlethal weapons they gave us."

The women didn't even realize how their minds were being molded and reshaped to the aliens' preferences.

-x-X-x-

The next mission, the rookie squad is sent out. Rookies no longer, they move like a well-oiled machine under the Commander's mental guidance. Standard operating procedure is to bring back as many living alien prisoners as possible these days. Shoot to kill is no longer in X-Com's vocabulary. And so, that's exactly what the X-Com Squad does.

The Squad Leader bounces up and down on top of a particularly thick and meaty Muton cock as she looks around at her subordinates with a smile on her face. The Commander is pleased with all of them, but more than that, it just feels so GOOD to be filled with alien dick. The Muton beneath her isn't exactly docile, given his thick, massive hands are wrapped around her waist and he's helping her along like she's just a fuck puppet for his cock, but the Squad Leader doesn't care.

Over to her left, one of her soldiers is being gangbanged by a group of three Sectoids. On her right, another was being plowed face first into the ground by a particularly enthusiastic Viper. From what The Squad Leader could see, the Viper in no way compared to the massive one they had back on base, nor did he compare to the Muton cock she was currently riding. But he seemed to make up for it with sheer eagerness, if the other woman's pleasured cries were anything to go by.

In front of her and behind her, her last remaining squad mates were each taking on a Muton dick of their own. Her and her Squad had ostensibly been 'ambushed', but in reality, they'd realized that the force they were facing was overwhelming and given their primary goal of capturing aliens for study… well, there'd been only one real answer to the question of how they were going to succeed in their mission.

When the Mutons and Sectoids and Viper had come for them, the X-Com Squad had laid down their weapons and began to strip on the spot, much to the delight of the aliens. What the aliens didn't know however, was that they'd all taken stamina tablets before the 'ambush'. Those, on top of the now mandatory enhancements for all X-Com Soldiers, made them quite the formidable force when it came to sex.

It would take some time, but the Squad Leader was quite sure of their eventual victory, even as she continued to ride the Muton below her for all she was worth. A couple more hours, and they'd end up with seven more prisoners for the Chief Scientist to do her thing with!

-x-X-x-

The Ethereal felt strange, piloting this new avatar. It was the latest in a long line of combat forms for its mostly psionic species, allowing them to project their mental influence in a more physical way. However, never had that been truer than this new form. The Ethereal looked more human than ever before, specifically it looked like a human female, with one added attachment. Looking down between its legs, the Ethereal reaches out and touches its new penis.

The phallus is warm to the touch and immediately jumps and begins to grow from the stimulus. The Ethereal is left with a strange feeling of desire in its groin region. It pants and licks its artificial lips as it moves towards its destination, continuing to stroke its futa member all the while. Through the Ethereal's research of the human species, they've discovered two things. First, humans invariably find their females more attractive than their males.

Most males found females to be more attractive than males and while many females were the opposite, a surprisingly large portion of the female population found females to be more attractive than males as well. Simply put, men were used for other things, while women were more often than not judged by their beauty rather than anything else.

This was the first fact they'd discovered, while the second was a bit contradictory to the first. Simply put, phallic shapes were powerful. Penises held a power to them that women could not command. For whatever reason, large phalluses were worshipped in human culture, almost as much beautiful women. So of course, when it had finally come time to make an avatar with which to interact with the human race, the Ethereals had seen fit to combine the two into one.

A woman with a cock was invariably going to be more awe inspiring, and respected than one without, or a simple man. It was why they'd given the X-Com Commander a dick of her own and she'd more than proven their theory by using her cock to bring her subordinate under her direct control. It was very inspiring.

Now here the Ethereal was, wearing its artificial futa avatar and walking towards a naked X-Com Squad. The five women had just finished exhausting a large group of alien foot soldiers. Three Mutons, three Sectoids, and one Viper all lay on the ground with their limbs in shackles as the naked women stood there conversing above them, clearly waiting for transport. They didn't seem at all concerned over the fact that they were covered in cum, but when they noticed the Ethereal's avatar approaching, they reacted with surprise.

"What the hell is that thing?!"

The Ethereal continued forward, but stopped a few feet away from the suddenly on-guard Squad.

"Greetings."

"Oh, that's just creepy. That thing is NOT human."

"Nope, but it's definitely made to look like one of us. Except for the extra equipment between the legs. What the hell do you think that's about?"

They were talking among themselves. The Ethereal felt ignored. Exerting a bit of its psionic power, the Ethereal draws one of the humans close to it. The soldier falls to her knees, mouth open and eyes vacant. The Ethereal takes its thick phallus and shoves it down the woman's throat, fucking her face right there as it and its brethren had seen many a man and even some women with fake dicks do through humanity's 'internet'.

"Gagkh! Gagkh! Gagkh!"

"Holy shit its throat-fucking Kelly!"

"Are they adapting to our tactics the same way we adapted to theirs?"

"Shit, I'm already exhausted… can we just zap this one unconscious and take it with the rest."

That seems to get a lot of nods and grunts of agreement. Before they can pull out their blocky stunning devices however, the Ethereal 'finishes' down Kelly's throat and pushes her back from its softening dick. It lifts its hands up.

"I surrender. Take me to your leader."

All five women, including the one now on the ground with cum dribbling from the corner of her mouth, stare at the Ethereal Avatar incredulously. That's when the extraction aircraft arrives. In the end, the Ethereal gets exactly what it wanted.

-x-X-x-

Vahlen was happily sucking on the Commander's cock when it happened. The crimson haired woman in charge of X-Com tensed up and her fingers curled tighter in Vahlen's hair. She assumed this meant she was about to receive a load of absolutely delicious cum, but in the end the Commander tears her away and pushes her chair back from her desk to stare down at her Chief Scientist.

"It's coming Vahlen. It's coming now. Is the chip ready?"

Eyes wide at the declaration, Vahlen can only nod as the red head gets to her feet and she joins her.

"It's ready Commander. I… I don't know for sure that it'll work. It's untested for obvious reasons. But it's as ready as it'll ever be."

The Commander lets out a shuddering breath.

"That will have to be enough. One way or the other, this ends tonight. Go Doctor. Go do your work. I will see you this evening."

Dr. Vahlen inclines her head respectfully to her superior and departs the room. The Commander is right. One way or another, with the arrival of the avatar, everything ends tonight.

-x-X-x-

The Ethereal is brought right into the middle of the X-Com Base. It would be a laughably hilarious mistake on their part, if it and its kin weren't already entrenched in the human resistance command structure. Still, with its avatar now in the depths of the X-Com facility, everything was coming to a head. It was time to finally put an end too X-Com as a 'hostile' force and bring them into the fold. With the human's organization fully under Ethereal control, there would be nothing left to stop them from taking over Earth.

For the moment though, it played along. It allowed itself to be taken along with the other alien prisoners to X-Com's labs. It allowed itself to be put into a cell and when a blonde human came by with an injection, it allowed that as well. After all, this avatar was artificial, and the Ethereal controlling it was physically far, far away. What could any injection the humans gave it possibly do to harm it? Especially when the humans themselves were no longer capable of independent thought…

Time passed and night seemed to fall, as even though the base was underground, things got quiet as a sleep cycle began. The blonde human woman was still there though, still working. The Ethereal could feel her and could tell that this one was the first. Not as precious to them as their beloved X-Com Commander, but this… 'Dr. Vahlen' was still instrumental in bringing about X-Com's defeat.

She would be useful here as well, to start the end. Reaching out to her pliable mind, the Ethereal sends a simple command. Within moments, Vahlen stands before it, eyes vacant as she opens the door to its cell. The Ethereal, still wearing the body of a futa, steps up to the scientist and smiles wickedly.

"Take me to your leader."

The Ethereal is guided through the base by Dr. Vahlen without question and with a bit of psionic work, no one stops them. Eventually, they arrive at the Commander's location. The Ethereal knows this because it can feel it through the avatar, it can feel the Commander's presence in the room beyond. X-Com's leader had become strong under Ethereal guidance. She has become so very, very powerful.

The door opens and Vahlen leads the Ethereal's avatar inside. When she does, the Commander stands from her desk and walks around it, face emotionless as she stares at the beautiful artificial form that the Ethereals have made for her. In turn, the Ethereal in control of the avatar reaches out and 'flicks a switch', to use a human phrase.

The Commander's subconscious mind takes control. The one that is obedient and loyal to the Ethereals and no one else now stands before her. The red head smiles happily and slowly begins to strip naked, even as Vahlen does the same. The Ethereal has no need to do so, as its avatar was always naked to begin with. Still, there is some arousal at the sight of the two women nude before it, and the futa member between its legs begins to grow hard and rise.

With the Commander and Vahlen under its control, the Ethereal guides its avatar forward to initiate human mating. This is what will be used to control the rest of X-Com, using the Commander as the broadcast point. The avatar and the Commander kiss, deeply and together, the two futa turn on the one true woman left in their midst. Vahlen happily submits to them, sinking to her knees and sucking them off at the same time, stroking their cocks and bobbing her head up and down one after the other.

It feels phenomenal. The Ethereal wonders if Vahlen is simply a better cocksucker then the one it face fucked back on the street. Or perhaps, allowing the human to control the pace of the blowjob could be more fun than simply fucking their throats. Either way, the Ethereal was a bit overwhelmed by the pleasure of the sex act. It almost forgot to use said pleasure to begin its plan.

In the end, it did not miss its opportunity however. As Vahlen sucked on its avatar's cock, the Ethereal reached out across the entirety of the X-Com Base. Using the Commander and her Chief Scientist, the Ethereal fed pleasure and arousal and desire into every last woman in X-Com. The orgy began almost immediately and with another thought, the multitude of alien prisoners that had been captured by X-Com in recent weeks was released by horny, lust-filled scientists.

All across the base, human women fell to their own base desires, either laying with each other or being fucked and plowed and railed by alien dicks. Mutons and Sectoids and Thin Men and Vipers ran rampant throughout the base. The Viper King stayed in his little habitat even once the doors opened, but that was mostly because the women were coming to HIM, presenting themselves to be fucked and filled with cum.

The Ethereal was so focused on this, the final victory, that it failed to notice what was happening to it through its avatar. Physically, the blowjob continued unabated. Psionically however, the biochip that had been installed in the avatar body earlier by Vahlen had already started to go to work. The Commander was not quite as brainwashed and controlled as the Ethereals thought.

Humanity was not quite as defeated as they believed either. The biochip that Vahlen had managed to implant did one thing and one thing only. It made the avatar feel all the same things the Commander did. It added the Ethereal's avatar to the network as SUBORDINATE to the crimson haired X-Com Commander. Just like the rest of X-Com's mental links were subordinate to the Commander's 'admin' access, now so too was the avatar.

The feedback loop had started almost immediately, but with the Ethereal's focus on creating an orgy of X-Com and alien prisoners, it didn't truly notice anything was wrong. Not until it suddenly found itself kneeling behind Dr. Vahlen, fucking her in the cunt even as the red-haired Commander in turn fucked its avatar in its own pussy. Stuck in the middle of the two humans like this, forced to thrust forward each time X-Com's leader thrust into it from behind, the Ethereal began to feel a strange psionic presence.

Hello there, you alien bastard. Did you think it would be that easy?

The Commander's 'voice' rings through the Ethereal's mind and if it had eyes, it would no doubt be widening them in shock in that moment. Using the X-Com Commander as the focal point of the network has proven to be a mistake. With the Ethereal now hooked into X-Com's mental link, the Commander is becoming something more, feeding off of its power.

The Ethereal tries to pull back and disconnect from its avatar body, even as said body is constantly beset by the pleasure of fucking and being fucked, combined with the pleasure of hundreds of human women as they're fucked by aliens across X-Com's base. It cannot disconnect, the Commander won't let it. And a moment later, the X-Com Commander has grown powerful enough to reach out and control the escaped alien prisoners all over the base as well, Viper King included.

She doesn't stop them from doing what they're already doing however. Now in complete control of the situation, the red head accelerates things dramatically and adds the pleasure of the male aliens to the feedback loop as well. The Ethereal was already feeling overwhelmed. Now it drowns in the pleasure as the Commander's Willpower drags it kicking and screaming to her metaphorical breast.

A bond of sorts forms, with the Commander in control. Using the Ethereal, the Commander fully ascends into what is essentially an Ethereal herself, or at least one close enough that it does not matter. Abruptly, every Ethereal in the Collective feels her presence. Abruptly, every Ethereal in the Collective knows the pleasure that a human woman controlling several hundred bodies in a constant nonstop orgy can create.

The Ethereals are not sexual beings. They are unprepared for a psionic spike of pure lust to be driven into each and every one of their minds. The X-Com Commander tears control of the Collective away from itself, all while the Ethereal its bonded to hangs on for dear life, like a human strapped to the outside of a rocket swiftly rising into space.

For a moment, humanity is saved. The Ethereals are under the Commander's control which in turn puts ALL of the alien menace under her control. X-Com's leader can end it right then and there, she can save the Earth from the aliens occupying it.

… She doesn't. Regardless of how strong her mind is, the Ethereals have still managed to twist her just enough. The Commander no longer wants to save humanity so that it can return to excess and gluttony and warring amongst itself. She no longer wants to allow things too to return to the status quo. Hell, she shudders what to think humankind will do if the aliens are soundly defeated, yet all their technology remains. The red head knows that the Earth won't survive a world war fought over alien tech WITH alien tech.

Best to take control of the humans, while she's at it. The Ethereal Commander reaches out mentally, all the while there's a smile on her lips and she's continuing to fuck the avatar of the Ethereal who's made all of this possible. X-Com's Commander reaches out across the Earth and feels everything. The Ethereals were playing with them in the end. Their strength, their reach… it might as well be endless. The Collective, when working together as she's forcing it to now, can feel every human mind on the planet Earth.

Taking out the malcontents and anyone who knows about X-Com the world over is child's play for what the Commander has become. Victory comes swiftly and silently and the majority of the world has no idea that they just lost their last chance at freedom. Instead, much of Earth's population suddenly feels quite horny. It's not the same "drop everything and fuck now" sensation that everyone in the X-Com base is feeling, but it's definitely there.

The arousal grows and grows and humanity turns to one another and fucks. Those with loved ones have sex with their significant others. Those without find an acceptable partner and have sex with them. Many pair off, but more than a few orgies spring up in crowded places all over Earth. The entire world is quite literally fucking and the Commander feels ALL of it. It is glorious and she cries out in ecstasy as she cums deep inside of the avatar's cunt, prompting it in turn to cum inside of Vahlen, which of course leads to the slutty blonde scientist climaxing as well.

The Commander pulls free of the Ethereal's avatar and pushes the artificial construct to the side. Vahlen turns around and stays on her knees as she stares in awe at what the red head has become.

"I did it Doctor. WE did it."

"Y-you're glowing Commander. All over, you're glowing. I think… I think your eyes are gone, they're just shards of white light now. Your skin is cracking too."

The red head stares down at herself and sees what Vahlen means. Her human body can no longer contain her psionic capacity and her soul has grown beyond what any biological form was meant to hold. She is quite literally bursting at the seams.

"No matter, my pet. I trust you will build me a replacement."

Vahlen nods up and down, eyes wide at the idea and the trust that the Commander is placing on her. The X-Com Commander smiles down at the blonde scientist, having complete faith in her capabilities. Then she gasps and throws her head back as a cry of ecstasy leaves her lips. Her body explodes outwards, but it is merely the shell that she's been shedding for quite a while now.

Beneath it, the Commander's form remains relatively intact, though now it is made out of pure psionic energy, her red locks glowing brightly and floating above her head, defying gravity as her entire body does the same. The Commander once again looks at herself and once again smiles.

"This will suffice for now. We have a lot of work to do."

Vahlen bows her head towards her superior. And never before has that word been truer than now. The blonde scientist has never been religious… but she imagines if God did exist, this is what he, or in the Commander's case, she would look like. And that actually made Vahlen feel a bit better about the idea. She could definitely get behind a Goddess crafted from science. She would follow the Commander to the end of the Galaxy if need be.

X-Com had defeated the alien threat, in a rather… roundabout way. It had then gone on to conquer the Earth. Not exactly what it was meant to do… but when you fuck with humanity, you're bound to get strange results.

-x-X-x-

She had once been the Commander of an organization called X-Com. A human woman with a brilliant mind for strategy, she'd been handpicked to lead the fight against the alien menace that plagued their world. That had only been a few years ago, but it felt like an eternity at this point. She was so much more now. She was beyond human, beyond a petty title like Commander.

They called her Empress, the humans, the aliens, even the Collective of Ethereals that gave her guidance. The Empress held control, but she did not silence independent thought as the Collective had done before her ascension. She ruled humanity and aliens alike with a fair, firm hand and humans and aliens alike lived in harmony with one another as a result.

She'd called her new Empire ADVENT. She'd stolen it from the Collective, but they'd been happy to have her use it in the end anyways. And truly, it fit perfectly with what had come to pass. Humanity's future had arrived. The ADVENT had come and she had come with it. Even though she technically no longer has lips, the Empress smiles anyways.

Down on Earth in an opulent palace, the lips of her avatar curl into a smile as well and her fingers grip at a familiar blonde head of hair as she speaks.

"Vahlen."

The scientist is completely naked, her full lips wrapped around the futa shaft that the Empress' avatar sports. When the Empress speaks, Vahlen pulls back and looks up at her questioningly, love and devotion in her eyes. Without the blonde, much of the ADVENT would not be possible. The gene mods that she personally created for X-Com are now common place all over Earth, giving humans the ability to stand toe to toe with their new alien neighbors, so that they do not feel quite so second-class in physical ability.

"Yes, my Empress?"

"It is time. You have served well. Now you must ascend to lead by my side."

A brilliant smile crosses Vahlen's face and then she feels it. The Empress now spans the entirety of Earth with her psionic presence and for a human mind, even one enhanced like Vahlen's, to be wrapped in that sort of presence was awe-inspiring and more than a little terrified. Vahlen is not fearful though, in fact she's ecstatic as the Empress takes hold of her soul and begins to pump her essence directly into Vahlen.

It's just as lewd and intimate as it sounds. Vahlen's body glows brightly even as it falls back on the floor of the palace and begins to spasm and shake from orgasm after orgasm. The blonde ascends in this euphoric state of pleasure and arousal, and she is reborn as a Human-Ethereal, much like the Empress though on a far smaller scale. Her presence, once she 'stands' among the other psionics, most notably the Collective that advises the Empress, is equal to any one of the Ethereals that make said Collective up.

Welcome Vahlen of Earth. We have longed for your presence.

Vahlen is a bit surprised at that, even as she feels the Empress' amusement. Why would the Ethereals LONG for her to join them? Weren't they all pretty racist until the Empress' ascension?

"I told them they couldn't use any avatars for sex until you joined us. Amusingly enough, this swayed the majority of them over to welcoming you with open arms quite swiftly."

… Yes. Well… when do you think we can begin creating our new bodies? Many of us have been bombarded with the lustful desires of your human species for quite some time now. It is unbearable, being unable to partake in the activities these lustful desires usually provoke.

A wide, metaphorical grin spreads across Vahlen's 'face'.

"Oh, I can definitely help with that."

And if in the end, each and every Ethereal ends up with a futa human woman as their avatar, well, they don't complain about it too much.
