IMPLANT

by Mr. David R. Dorrycott

Characterization Background Story

"Your certain there will be no danger Lady?" Yuki asked. She was slowly backing her pot against a table in the medical lab, and fear was showing in her eyes. Specially modified for the plant womans needs, the table could only tilt a few degrees, a limitation brought on by the plant-girl's own extreme fear of falling.

"There is always danger Yuki" Snowaters replied as she set out her instruments. "Simply breathing is dangerous, should you be in the wrong place at the wrong time." She picked up a an egg shaped unit, some five inches long and three inches thick at its widest point. "Still, and I'll be honest with you about this, there is less danger using this procedure than cutting open your abdominal cavity."

"I don't understand" Yuki complained. A sharp click and minor vibration informed her the tables grapples had locked onto her pot. "Why is it safer" she asked. Gripping the hand braces she triggered the tables lift, feeling herself moved upwards a few inches. A small tube entered the pots earthen contents, slowly injecting body temperature water.

Snowaters returned the dark green unit to its container, reactivating the field to maintain sterility. "If I cut you open any manner of damage could be done" she told the young woman. "I could cut a nerve, and those take years to heal, not often correctly even with Diamonds advanced abilities. Or, I could accidently allow a mold or fungus entry to your delicate internal structures." She stared at the frightened green woman for a few moments. "Any of these, and a thousand others are possible. Using an existing cavity reduces the danger to you to almost nothing. Besides" she continued with a smile, "There won't be a scar. You're much too pretty to carry an unneeded surgical scar."

"You mean I have no use for that part of my body?" Yuki asked. "But, why do I have it then."

"Your part human. Truthfully, when we designed you we simply forgot to delete it. A home for your sensor pack will give it a good use. In a few weeks you won't even notice it." She giggled, "If you hadn't reminded me, I'd have forgotten the test pack I was carrying last month, until Aries & Kela's next visit. Your body adjusts, you forget its there for a while." She walked over to the table, activating the sterile field around it. "This isn't just for my scientific curiosity" she told the green woman. "It's also a locator beacon and will, within limits, act as 'Liths implant works with me." She adjusted a series of hollow tubes above Yuki's lower torso. "And most importantly" she continued, "I will learn exactly how to treat you should you be injured. Our experience with Melanie taught me just how little I do know about your lifeform. If you were exposed to vacuum, or burnt, or lost an arm... Right now I'd have to return to Willmore and soon that will be rather difficult." She paused, running a soothing hand along the shivering girls cheek. "There will be times it will be impossible. With a year or twos constant monitoring of your body we can learn what kind of first aid kit, and what drugs to design for you. Your family now Yuki. I take care of family."

Reaching up she triggered a lever and a fine mist drifted down over Yuki's lower trunk. "All-right, you can withdraw from your pot now, but take it slowly. While we're working I'll have it serviced for you." She shook her head. "I need to design a better one for you, having you locked against a wall for an hour each week while the systems are serviced is ridiculous, even if you are asleep at the time."

"I don't mind mistress" Yuki replied. Slowly she extracted her root system from the now muddy earth in her pot. She could feel a few minor roots break, but the damage was nothing like what had happened when the Diamond had been attacked last month and she had been knocked out of her pot onto the floor. She gritted her teeth against the fear memory, almost a minute laying flat on the floor had been terrifying, discovering her 'legs' had been a miricle. She giggled as the soft mist cleaned her roots. "It tickles." She giggled again, covering her mouth with one hand.

"That's probably the trace nutrients" Snowaters answered as she adjusted the spray. "I'm setting the recline at two degrees above your fear point Yuki." She touched a button and the table tilted slowly, coming to a stop quickly as it reached its pre-programmed position. Snowaters reached under the table, locking it into position. "It can't go any further back now" she informed her tense patent. Yuki smiled, relaxing slowly. "All right, here comes the hard part. Time to split your trunk so I can get full access."

Yuki concentrated, there was a rippling along her trunk, then a sound like paper tearing. Small pieces of old bark broke off, taking their cast off poisons with them as they fell to the floor. In less than a minute where a single large trunk had been there were two, almost human looking legs. "It feels strange" Yuki reported, "But it isn't painful."

Snowaters nodded as she carefully examined the new structures. "I was afraid we didn't get this one right" she told her patient. "Like you discovered, its an emergency ability. In case your pot is every damaged or unable to get you out of a dangerous situation, or your knocked out of it like last month." She prodded one 'calf', nodding to herself as the structure moved slightly. "You can walk, not very fast but it is more than Melanie can ever do, or even NeNe. Given your fat reserves and that special bladder in your stomach, you should be able to survive about two months outside of your normal environment before any permanite damage can occur."

Yuki bent her head down to look at what Snowaters was doing. "I'll never pass for human" she giggled. "They may be legs Mistress, but they look more like rough sawn four-by-fours."

"Good analogy" Snowy agreed, absently moving an overhead mirror so Yuki could see better. She began turning and twisting the fibrous structures. "You've got a full hip and knee joint, but your ankle is rudimentary, there's very little movement in that area. I refer to them as legs since that's what they really are." She lifted Yuki's left leg, slowly forcing it backwards towards the plant-womans chest. Bark fluttered to the floor as it peeled off, the leg moving slowly until finally Yuki grunted. Snowaters nodded, holding her position. "About two thirds the movement range I have" she noted in a hovering recorder. Letting the leg down slowly she repeated the test with the other leg, obtaining almost the same results. Finally she pushed the legs apart, spreading then almost three feet before Yuki complained. Nodding, she locked both legs in the spread position.

"Better than we'd hoped for" she commented. "It's surprising just how human-like they are, considering that their a combination of animal and plant structures." Pushing slightly, and with Yuki's help, she bent the plant legs back almost their full movement. Reaching up she grasped a cable, pulling it down then locking it onto the stretcher bars supports. The medical AI immedietly tensed the cable, holding Yuki in that position. Picking up a medical probe she stepped up to Yuki's waist, pointing to the instrument, "I'm going to examine your internal structure" she told her. "If you feel any discomfort let me know. You shouldn't, but that isn't proof you wont. I mean it, any discomfort. Even an itch."

Yuki nodded. She watched in the mirror as Snowaters covered the probe with a sterile lubricant, then using a modified hypodermic did the same to Yuki. With a gentle, slow pressure she forced it into Yuki's plant-vagina. There was a sensation of movement, of something inside her but nothing she couldn't stand. 'It sort of feels good' she thought to herself. Half an hour passed as Snowaters worked, her own hair & skin becoming soaked in the nutrient spray. Finally she withdrew the instrument, setting it aside.

"There's some kind of almost microscopic hair structure, probably nothing more than filaments that were taking advantage of the unused space. Nothing unusual I think." She stepped out of the sterile field, picking up a towel to dry off with. "Actually Yuki, your almost fully human in there, even if that part of your body is almost fully plant. Other than no cervix, and thus no womb you are a functional female." She winked at the plant-girl, "You self lubricate so if you ever want an animal lover you can easily probably accommodate the average size human male, maybe even larger."

Yuki closed her eyes, remembering some of the males she'd already met, and the feeling that had washed over her last spring. "But would they want me" she asked.

"You never know child" Snowy replied as she tossed the towel aside, "The universe is filled with all kinds. There are males that won't leave me alone, even knowing what I am." Picking up the dark green sensor package she stepped back into the sterile field. "Being a virgin your not quite large enough for this, so I'm going to have to manipulate you so that you can dilate a little bit. You've got structures down there that are like mine, lets see if they work like mine."

She reached down, touching a point between Yuki's legs.

Lightning filled the plant girls head at the touch, her breasts expanded, nipples quickly becoming hard. She cooed.

"Yep" Snowy quipped. "Just like mine." Ignoring Yuki's animal-like sounds she continued to manipulate the womans structure, watching carefully as the opening slowly expanded, unfolding almost exactly like a flower. Slowly she pressed the units smaller end against the widening opening, watching as Yuki's body seemed to grasp the egg shaped sensor. She sprayed a little more lubricant on the sensor, pressing slightly harder as it hit resistance. Yuki had dilated as much as she was going to, and the unit was barely too large. With a rough push the unit slid in, causing a slight gasp of pain from the plant woman. Surprisingly, she dilated a bit more. Snowy pushed the unit fully into the waiting cavity, with a sudden slip it disappeared, along with several of Snowaters fingers. Yuki moaned, then went limp.

"It's in" she told the oblivious plant woman. Since her fingers were already inside Yuki with the sensor she decided to adjust its position. It took almost fifteen minutes for her to get the device rotated, so that the large end was away from Yuki's opening. It would have taken less time but the filaments within the plant woman had hindered her efforts. 'Like trying to work in wet velvet' Snowy thought to herself. Withdrawing her hands she picked up a small towel, using it to wipe both her hands and Yuki's skin dry. Her fingers tingled slightly, washing them stopped the sensation so Snowaters chalked it up to drying lubrication. Stepping over to a consul she activated her little package, watching the readings for several minutes before stepping back to her patent. Releasing Yuki's legs she slowly closed them together, then examined the remaining roots for damage. Other than a little pressure bruising where the padded restraints had held them in postiton, she was satisfied everything was in order.

"Mmmmmm..." Yuki moaned as her eyes finally fluttered open. "Is that what you feel with Aries and Kela Mistress" she asked.

"Probably" Snowy admitted as she stepped aside for the returning pot. "A lot of me was used in your construction." She reached up, sliding a finger just under the leaves of Yuki's chest. "You should be ticklish just about... there" she said. Yuki giggled, twisting away from the humans finger. "Yep" Snowy commented, "You probably are hooked up the same way as I am," she shook her head, "But we made an effort to insure you weren't. Oh well, I'll report the problem and Willmore can adjust."

A worried look crossed Yuki's face. "I will be discarded then? Like my sister?" she asked.

"Humm? No, there's no reason" Snowy told her. "Not only would the children probably kill me, but its nothing to worry about. All it means is.." She leaned closer to the smaller woman and whispered, "When you find a lover you'll be able to enjoy him, or her." Reaching under the table again she released the locks. Minutes later Yuki was sliding her root system back into her pot, maintance robots quickly patted fresh soft earth around her trunk. “And your sister was not discarded. She has a lovely home now as you well know.”

"How long before I'll be back to normal" Yuki asked.

"About a week to regrow the lost roots full" Snowy decided. "Theres no where near the damage of last month. Another week for that paper-like membrane to return. I'd say in a month you'll be back to normal as your bark moves down to cover what fell off. How's the implant feel."

Yuki put one hand against her lower belly, pressing in slightly. "I feel... full" she reported, "And a warm, tingly feeling, but no pain."

Snowaters nodded, kicking the pots latch free. "The tingle is the probes sensors implanting themselves, and the occasional sterile pulse to protect you. There may be a slight itch, go ahead and scratch at it if you need to, by day after tomorrow the feeling will go away. Your feeling of fullness might not, it depends on your bodies adjustment." She stopped what she was doing, looking her servant in the eyes. "If, at any time, you feel like somethings wrong report it to me or Kalith." She looked sternly at the other woman. "I mean anything. Understand?"

“Yes Mistress" Yuki agreed. "It's almost morning, I better get breakfast ready for the children."

"Don't bother, I'll do it" Snowy told her. "I want you to spend the day up in the greenhouse, get all the sunlight you can."

Yuki nodded in agreement. With a soft wirr she was out the door & headed for the Greenhouse ramp.

Snowaters studied the implants readouts for a few minutes, adjusting a few filters before turning for the kitchen.

"Your right there 'Lith" she replied as she entered the kitchen. "That nerve bundle shouldn't have been there, but its unimportant.

<Other. Than giving. Her an. Orgasm. You mean.>

"You don't count well today" Snowy replied. "She had eight, and would have had at least another if she hadn't passed out."

"Like me?" The human laughed at herself. " Your right, that would be a mess wouldn't it." She started the microwave, watching frozen waffles warm. "At least she can't get preganate, unless I allow it. And I'm not going to have that while the children are still... children."

Yuki was at her favorite spot, where three sunlamps overlapped giving her almost natural exposure. She had fallen into a light sleep as her body began the healing process, energy normally used to keep her conscious having been diverted for other use. She was dreaming, remembering those explosions inside of her when her Mistress had been inserting the implant. Slowly her hands began to move, one went to her breasts as she dreamed, gently moving delicate leaves aside. The other slid down to the little nub that had given her so much pleasure. In her light sleep she began to coo.

Deep within the plant woman tiny samples of Snowaters DNA were making their way to a special organ. Penetrated on the cellular level by those strange filaments she had noticed, Snowaters hadn't felt a thing as samples had been taken from her bare fingers as she rotated the implant. Reaching the organ they were quickly broken down, Yuki's internal DNA factory quickly made several thousand matches between her and her owner. Most were quickly discarded, but a large number remained. These were reduced to coded cells and stored, stored to await the triggering pollen Snowaters had securely locked in her special safe in her bedroom. They could wait a hundred thousand years if they had too.
