You may be saved. -ACS- Both drones are approximately 1.9 m (6 ft 3 in) tall. They are in the shape of extremely curvy and voluptuous women, in 15 cm (6 in) heels. They seem to be made of a slick, shiny, metallic-grey, plastic-like material, and weigh XXX kg (XX lbs.). In strategic locations - presumably to improve the user's grip - the material becomes matte and a raised hexagonal grid. Neither drone has a face or ears, just a smooth head. The drones do not have toes, simply bootlike feet. They have visible ankles, in addition to the aforementioned heels, and navels. The drones do not have any features resembling sexual organs, except for the psuedophalli at their crotches, which are approximately XX cm (XX in) long. These consist of a smooth, plastic-like clear tube, and the mushroom-like colored, studded "head". No testes are present. The tube is closed off at the end, and does not actually "go anywhere". X-Ray and CRT scans indicate the drones are made of the same material all the way through, except for the pseudophalli. Aside from the color of their respective "heads", thumbnails, and the soles of their boots - orange and green, chronologically - there is no detectable difference in the drones. They are apparently inanimate, stay in an "at attention" position, and have no response to any standard conventional or thaumic stimuli. Anomalous effects include a compulsion to call them "drones". -ACS- On 2017-02-3X, Saturday, a young man named XXXXXX XXXX in XXXXXXX XXXX, KS, received a package. He had ordered the package from major online auction/retail site XXXX XX. Some time later, he began recording a video. According to XXXX, he had ordered the clear model, but what had actually arrived was translucent blue, "like a 90s iMac". He held it close to the camera for the viewers' confirmation. The toy in question resembled a broad, silicone mushroom, with a hole through the shaft and a studded head. The head of the mushroom was blue, with clear studs. The shaft is clear. According to the product listings, the shaft is roughly 3 in (7.6 cm) tall, and the head is slightly wider than the height. The toy is designed to be used with lubrication; the user inserts his penis into the head of the shaft, and moves the device up and down until orgasm is achieved. XXXX had lubrucated as advised, and began to use the product. Eventually, he noticed something strange. He noticed his penis had changed. In fact, it was changing each time he reached the head. Even when he pointed the head at his face and looked at it, he could detect no changes at the top of each stroke. He demonstrated the effect by stepping away from the camera, and turning so it captured a profile view. He gave the camera a clear view of his penis, which appeared perfectly normal. Then he inserted it into the toy. The portion of his penis visible past the head had an altered shape. The normal male glans were replaced by a broad, mushroom-like head, identical to the one on the toy, except the color is orange, instead of blue. The shaft is also clear plastic. “Weird, right?” XXXX picked up his phone, activated the light, and directed it down his altered penis. The video shows a short, clear tube, roughly the length of his shaft. It was studded on the interior. The studs were orange. XXXX directs the camera to his face. I stuck my finger in there. It goes all the way down. I don’t feel it. Well, not exactly. I feel SOMETHING, but it’s, like...you know the sound of music playing downstairs? How you can FEEL it more than hear it? It’s like that. Can’t explain any better.” He thought for a moment. “I wonder what would happen if I poked a hole in the tube from the inside? I wonder...I wonder what would happen if someone stuck their dick down it? Or...any other body part?” He returned the phone to its original position, located a half-finished 2 L bottle of a bright green soft drink, and attempted to pass it through the toy. While the toy was able to stretch to fit, and the subject “pumped” the bottle several times, no changes were observed. He experimented with other objects, such as pencils and pens. Again, no changes. He exhaled deeply, sat down on his bed, and inserted his foot into the toy, past the ankle. He examined his foot carefully, and looked up at the camera. “Can’t see any visible change.” He pumped his foot through the toy, and noted the ongoing changes. Eventually, his foot resembled a silver-grey, metallic woman’s boot, with a narrow heel of what looked like polished stainless steel. The heel of the boot resembled a straight rod, which joined at the heel and continued through. “I can’t move it. It’s like I’m trying to wiggle my toe and nothing happens.” He withdrew his foot, wiggled his toes, and repeated the experiment with his left pinky. Once more, he gave the camera a close look. His finger was made of the same metallic substance, but was more feminine, with a longer “nails” than his other fingers. He repeated the experiment with his entire left hand. As his hand changed, it became stiffer and stiffer, until he was not able to move it at all. It resembled a mannequin, and the “nails” were the same silvery color as the rest of the hand, except for the orange thumbnail. XXXX noticed, and withdrew his hand. He inserted his foot, and examined the ‘boot’. The sole of the “boot” was the same orange color. “Weird.” XXXX laid back on his bed, and thought for several minutes. He sat up, and drew the toy as far up his leg as possible. It reached his upper thigh and became “stuck”. His entire leg up to that point was covered in silver, and there was no apparent break for the top of the “boot”. The heel rod terminated at his calf. “Okay, I can’t move my leg. At all. It’s just-” He stood, with some difficulty. “It’s like that time I had a cast. Except it’s my whole leg.” He sat, removed the toy, and repeated the experiment with his left arm, which was similarly unable to move. He withdrew the arm, sat on the edge of his bed, rested his head on one arm and his elbow on his knee, and stared at the mushroom for several minutes. At one point, he looked at the camera through the hole. “The weird part - the really weird part, I mean - is how it still works as a sex toy. I’m still getting stimulated. So…” He stuck his thumbs through the shaft and pulled them in opposite directions, until the toy stretched. He let it return to normal and placed the toy, head-down, on the top of his head, made sure it wasn’t about to slide off, and continued. “...what happens when I, y’know, finish up while it’s in there?” XXXX stood up, tilted his head, and let the toy fall into his hands. He looked through it at the camera again. XXXX looked at the camera, paused, and said "screw it, I'll edit it later." He returned to using the toy on his penis, with no further changes,.until he stopped and said “it’s starting to split”, presumably to himself. He swore briefly, and attempted to ease the toy off. “Oh. Oh no. *Sh-*” The toy split entirely, and fell out of his hand. At this point, changes happened too quickly for the camera to record in any rea ldetail. Roughly 1.57 seconds from initiation to completion. Use of conventional and Unconventional resources was authorized by X█x███████ █████ to reconstruct the incident. The subject had the toy roughly halfway along his penis, moving outward, when the breach occurred. The rest of his penis changed to the ‘toy’ form, moving toward his body from the location the toy had been. When it reached his body, it continued moving. His testes were pushed back, toward his perineum (commonly known as the “taint”), and absorbed into his body, much like a pair of dolphins slipping back under the water. His hips became larger, wider, and more feminine, followed by his rear, and they both changed to the aforementioned silvery-grey. The changes moved from that area in a radial manner. As his waist narrowed, his thighs widened. As his chest pushed out from his nipples, dropped, bounced, and stopped moving, his knees shifted. The changes proceeded along his arms, up to his neck, and down his calves simultaneously. Though the changes occurred quickly, XX█X still had time to react. There are certain atavistic reflexes ingrained in the human brain. X██X jerked his face upward. It may have been an attempt to “keep his head above the water”, prompted by the numb feeling in his body, which his body “mistook” for immersion in cold water. Drowning people, naturally, lift their heads up, and attempt to “press down” on the water with their arms, but XXXX did not exhibit this later behavior, perhaps because his shoulders had already been changed. When the changes reached his ears, his eyes became unfocused and he suddenly relaxed. His arms went limp and fell to his sides, he straightened up, and stood on his toes. The “heel” rod grew up and down, directly out of his heel, and his feet and arms returned to their forms from his previous experiment. The toy, judging from frame-by-frame analysis, then hit the floor. The drone twitched for a few seconds, then stood an an “at attention” position. Roughly 57 minutes later, his roommate █████ arrived. Conversations with friends and colleagues indicate the roommate was known to 'accidentally' eat the food and use the household items of █XX█. He allegedly never paid ████ back, and would downplay the offense when asked. ████ repeatedly said he would like to confront the roommate more strongly. █████ changed out of his work clothes, turned on the TV, opened up a pizza company’s app on his phone, and entered XXXX’s room while continuing to look at the phone. “I’m ordering pizza, so if you wa-” He looked up and did a double take. “Um.” The roommate stood there and stared for several seconds. Then the roommate backed out of the room, presumably to make sure he was alone. He returned to XXXX’s bedroom. He looked up at the doll. With the heels, she was taller than him. With one finger on his left hand, he lifted the tube at her crotch an inch or two. He muttered “well, who’s he going to tell?” He straightened a little, and put his phone down, and muttered “*should’ve locked the door anyway.*” Then XXXXX looked around, noticed the phone, inspected it, learned it was recording, and stopped recording. The pizza delivery the roommate had ordered later arrived, and discovered the home with an open front door. Upon exploration, the delivery boy discovered the two drones, and summoned the authorities. The evidence indicates the roommate managed to open the door and leave the room before the transformation completed. If so, we do not know why the second transformation took longer. The drones have not moved under their own power at any known point since conversion was completed. Some speculate that their "programming" was corrupted somehow, or they are waiting for a command from some unknown source. Some speculate that the conversions would eventually lead to a Master Control Drone, who will be able to command the drones for unknown purposes. Containment-Recovery personnel were unable to locate the original device at the scene. Both drones are stored at Containment █ █ █ ██, under the collective designation GREY AREA, classified XXZ. CoRe personnel also investigated the manufacturer, which is located in █ ██ █ █ █, China. To all indications, it appears to be an entirely normal sex aid manufacturer. None of their products had any apparent anomalous effects or biothaumic resonance. One final note; the product comes in clear, opaque black, opaque white, and various opaque flesh colored models. The product has never had a translucent blue SKU, and there are no plans whatsoever to offer that option. ENDF #“ACS: Grey Area” 2019 Nequ CC By-SA-NC Fan stories/fanart welcome Confession time: I was inspired by an ad I saw on a NSFW booru. The ad was a short clip of a guy using the initial toy, though it was white, not blue. And, I assume, it did not mutate his penis, unless the third-world manufacturer was particularly substandard.
