Chapter 3 - Losing it All and Gaining Something Else

Later in the week.
 
Donnely was ecstatic when Shepard returned with the couplings, he finally would get more free time. Although he had been lonely. Gabby Daniels, had contracted the Hades Flu and was in quarantine up all week. Dr. Chackwas looked sadden to tell Donnelly the news although there was something off on how she was acting, she kept fidgeting when telling Ken. In the end he figured it was just the shock of someone having the Hades Flu, part of her job as chief medical officer was that to make sure this does not happen. So EDI explained that she was confined to The XO cabin for the remainder of week. Hades Flu was super contagious unless you possessed a certain gene that made you immune. A gene that Miranda Lawson possessed. In fact most of the crew had the vaccine, but all the alliance “add-on” have not received the vaccine because the agency in charge of making sure the vaccine is safe had not approved it, Cerberus rarely gave a damn what governments thought. They gave it to all their members. However, because they wanted Shepard as close to being the same person they did not give her immunity as they were afraid it would add another variable to the already Herculean task of bringing back someone from the dead.  So Miranda was in charge of her care. EDI gave Dr. Chackwas updates on the condition and treatments she was receiving.
 
 
 
Dr. Chackwas was pretty impressed, Miranda knew what she was doing, at hopefully she would only be quarantined for a week or two depending on if she pulled through but Miranda was not doing anything different that she would. She had the vaccinated keep her company at all times so she would not succumb to the madness that is associated Hades Flu. EDI reported her condition was right on schedule.
 
 
 
 
 
Daniels gone meant the Ken was about to have a bunch of free time and he was eager to take some of these Cerberus punks to the cleaners. All week the Cerberus lifers were making condescending remarks about the weakness of the Alliance “addons” they were working with. So earlier in the day in the crew deck Donnelly walked up to some of the Cerberus crewmates and said, “Hey you Dollywanker, I hear you talk a lot of smack about us ex-alliance folk, Shepard is ex-alliance so the entire engineering department. If you really feelin all uppity what says you and I go, a few rounds of Skillian Blitz.” Donnelly said grinning ear to ear.
 
“Skillian Blitz eh? Well I don’t have to shit to do tonight, what say you Tony?”
 
Tony was not paying attention to the conversation uttered back an almost non-sensical reply. “Oh no I had my turn last night?”
 
“What the fuck are talking about Tony I am talking about our work shift.” The man said clearing his throat and giving a knowing glare back at Tony.
 
“Oh you mean after work, nah I aint got nothing plan, why what ya thinking? “ Tony quickly replied.
 
“Our little prissy Alliance dandy thinks he can beat us in Skillian Blitz.” He says grinning ear to ear.
 
Ken was confused for a minute but then realized they were talking about their work shifts from the night before.
 
“Oh does he, what does he want to play for Carl, what are the stakes.
 
“I dunno depends on how cocky he feels.” Carl said looking back at Ken.
 
“Well lets play for 500 credits, winner takes all.” Ken said smirking.
 
“Woo, too rich for my blood. But there others thing to play for than money. “
 
“What us alliance softies too tough for you yellow doggies” Ken said.
 
“What did you say?” A big Cerberus grunt from the back got up from his seat at the cafeteria. He walked right over to Ken who he towered over.
 
“Oh Jericho, he thinks he is tougher than us.” Carl said standing back to let the absolute behemoth of a man get closer to Ken.
 
“No hard feeling lad, its just there has been a lot of talk about us ex-alliance fellas being softies, I was just saying we settle over a game of Skyllian Blitz.” Ken said trying to sound confident.
 
“What are the stakes?” Jericho bellowed.
 
“500 but your mates say that is too steep” Ken said with a smirk.
 
“Your that engineer down on deck 5 aren’t ya?” Jericho said with a serious face.
 
“Yes” Ken said quickly.
 
“Gabriella spoke about you when I covered my shift with her?” Jericho said.
 
“Oh you have seen her is she alright?” Ken asked intently interested.
 
“She is fantastic!” Jericho said with a happy smirk on his face.
 
“Yeah she is the best” Ken said.
 
“The best” Jericho agreed.
 
“Carl, you are the Captain in charge of who gets to spend time with Gabriella, can we see to it that Ken here gets to see his Alliance mate. So you can see how we treat alliance under our care” Jericho asked hopefully.
 
“I don’t know Jericho he is not vaccinated for the Hades Flu” Carl said with hint of concern in his voice.
 
“Well I have an extra inoculation we got from that Exogeni lab I was stationed at a ways back” Jericho said in a hopeful tone making eye contact with Carl as if he was referring to something more.
 
“Oh that concoction, I don’t know, I do not think Ken here will let us administer that vaccine to see his workmate, especially since he is ex-alliance and they are stickler following the rules?” Carl said with a note of concern in his voice.
 
“Wait you have a vaccine for the Hades Flu?” Ken asked.
 
“Yes that is why we are allowed to be stationed in her room. How else do you think she gets her injections and treatments when Miranda is on the bridge and on a mission?” Jericho explained.
 
“And this vaccine I take it and I can see her?” Ken asked.
 
“Well that is up to Carl, and I am not sure I want to part with that vaccine, “ Jericho said crossing his arms.
 
“Wait why did you mention that then?” Ken asked indignantly
 
“Well you were talking about stakes, I bet you want to see your friend pretty bad, you have a crush on her even I bet. So if you are willing to bet 500 dollars I can put the vaccine in the pot, Deal? “ Jericho said thinking about the offer.
 
“We can all pitch in a 100 credits but that is the most we are willing to go, we have shore leave to think about.” Carl added.
 
“I’ll do 100 and I knows Cassie will do a hundred and possibly Edgar”
 
“Ok 100 credits and if you win you get the vaccine, but no one can know we have it, it is Jericho’s so he will be the one to administer it.” Carl said.
 
 
 
Later that night the Game Room.
 
“Ok gentlemen and lady” Carl said addressing the group which included the lovely blonde Cassie.
 
“I brought some awesome libations for everyone except Kenzie over here, as you will not be able to take the vaccine if you have any alcohol in your system.” The group laughed openly when Carl called Ken Kenzie.
 
“Well shit, but thems the breaks I guess lads, You want to deal first Carla since you are the ranking officer here?” Ken said smirking.
 
“Carla you are funny man, see if you are still laughing when this is all over.” Carl said with a grin on his face as he took the cards and started the deal.
 
The game was a lot tougher than Ken was expecting. As the night went on Ken learned a lot about the crew that agreed to this game. He found that Cassie was not into dudes which was a shame because she was sexy as hell even with her golden hair being cropped. Jericho and Ken kept going back and forth about who was tougher the Cerberus or the Alliance. Carl kept his serious demeanor and his face was completely immutable. All in all, Ken figured out the group he was playing with were with Miranda for almost 7 years even before the Lazarus Cell. They all had tales to tell how bad ass she was, and it was evident to Ken that these people would all have her back.
 
Jericho.” Fuck damnit I am out”
 
“Ah I guess all that muscle and body mass does not make you as tough as you thought you were. Because you just became my bitch Jerry” Ken said winking at Jericho.
 
“All right All right you beat me, fair and square don’t let it go to your head.” Jericho said as he down a beer and waggled his eyebrows. Tony cashed out next, not that it mattered he did not talk much and seemed to be waiting for something to happen which is probably why he lost.
 
 
 
Cassie on the hand, was flirting with Ken, which was odd because she said she was not into dudes. “Well, if you on the other team and were my bitch Ken, I have you looking good as I walked you through your paces” Cassie said smacking her lips as she did so.
 
“My my is that so, and if you played for the other team, I would ask you out and take you out to dinner, and give you night you shan’t you never forget” Ken said waggling his eyebrows as he slammed down his cards.
 
“Won again, and I believe you are out Cassie, “Let me know when you want me to take you to dinner” Ken said gloating.
 
“You are good, I’d admit that but you still have to beat the Captain and he is good too, just know that you brought this all on yourself” Cassie warned before sitting down and pouring herself a drink.
 
Carl while lasting longer, did not stand a chance against Ken who was much more calculating and aggressive, eventually Carl lost. Ken continued to gloat, which forced an awkward silence as Ken counted his winnings in front of his latest victims. Jericho had left awhile back but returned with a syringe in his hands.
 
“No Kenzie just let me know if you are afraid of needles ok, I know your ex-alliance types need mama to kiss your boo boos” Jericho said in a playful mocking voice.
 
“Fuck it, I just went a game night without drinking do your worst Jericho” Ken said playfully as he rolled up sleeve exposing his arm.
 
“Oh I intend to sweety.” Jericho said winking at Ken.
 
Before too long the needle entered Ken’s arms. Jericho then produced eight more syringes and said that he would need to inject all of them.
 
“What kind of fucking vaccine is this? “Kenneth said as he looked at the needles.
 
“The kind that is illegal in Alliance space.” Jericho remarked flatly.
 
“Last chance is this what you want?” Jericho asked.
 
“Yes go ahead and do it you muscle bound windbag” Ken said in his heavy Scottish accent.
 
Jericho injected one, after the other after the other. About a one minute after the last injection the drugs were starting to work as Ken passed completely out and fell limp in his chair.
 
“Good lets move him to the crew quarters in the back, and make sure we put that night covering down so no one notices” Carl said stoically given order.
 
“Jericho since this is your play, and your idea really, you will be the one to greet him when he wakes up.” Carl said.
 
“Cassie do you want to accompany Jericho in case he needs help with the umm side effects of that Exogeni compound he just took.
 
“Abso- fucking- lutely Captain! Can I bring my toys?” Cassie said palatable excitement with a grin on her face from ear to ear.
 
“Bring whatever the fuck you want. I will give an update of the situation to Miranda. The Captain replied.
 
Cassie clapped her fans in an utter joyous moment.
 
“Oh this pour soul has no fucking clue what is coming his way” Carl said.
 
“Her, Carl, Her way” Jericho said correcting his Captain.
 
The entire group that was their erupted in laughter as they exited the room.
 
 
 
The next morning.
 
Shepard walked into deck 4 to see how Ken was holding up especially after that butt kicking at Skyllian Blitz she gave him last week. She knew it must be hard to be without Gaby.
 
“EDI has Engineer Donnelly reported in today?” Shepard asked.
 
“Yes, he reported in 3 hours for duty. He made the following repairs and is current in ventilation access 8a repairing a covextal converter panel before it causes a failure in our air condition unit. He will be spending quite some time fixing this problem, I have been tasked to alert him if any items demand his attention so he can fix them. He has also charged me with certain diagnostics to make sure the ship continues to run smooth. The following task have been done.
 
Shepard look at the ridiculously long and technical readout appear on her OMNI-tool and immediately stopped it by saying,” Stop EDI just inform me if anything urgent crops up or if Ken needs any help from me, until then I will stay out of your guy’s way.
 
Shepard then turned around and asked, ”EDI give me an update on Engineer Daniels condition?”
 
“Commander the Engineer Gabriella Daniels is currently suffering from an acute case of Hades Flu, she has a severe case I am afraid, Miranda last night was able to avoid the worst by employing a new drug not tested before with the consent of Dr. Chakwas, this saved her life, and much more, however, due to the severity of the case, it will be at least three more weeks before she is back and ready to serve in any capacity. Executive Officer has done an exemplary job in her care, Gabriella would have perished by now for sure if it was not for her medical expertise.”
 
“Thanks for the information EDI, where is Miranda at this moment?” Shepard looked up at the blue globe again.
 
“Miranda is currently still at the Com waiting to be relieved by you. You are currently 3 minutes and 45 seconds late, Commander.” EDI announced.
 
“Thank you, EDI that will be, all” Shepard said.
 
“Signing out” EDI announced.
 
Ken was having trouble seeing right now, he felt like he got hit with a ton of bricks, followed by a bag of animals, and topped with a barrel of nails. His head hurt bad. He felt very weird. First off, he felt cold he was freezing. Secondly, he did understand anything around him. He put a hand over his head from where the light was coming from only to now his vision came into focus. He saw Cassie who was sitting in a chair across from his bed with her legs crossed she dressed in a very unusual outfit. She had on fishnets, high heel boots, and Lycra corset with yellow buttons and he could swear a Cerberus logo? She had a crop in her hand was aimlessly smacking her hand as if she was waiting for something.
 
“Oh hey there sexy!!!’ Jericho said laughing as well as a group of people in the room.
 
“How are you feeling after ya shot.?” Jericho asked with a tone of concern.
 
“I….I……Wei…… WHAT THE HELL” Ken shouted confused it was his voice but it sounded like a woman’s voice now. In fact. It was......
 
“Oh no no no no” Ken uttered as he quickly through off his sheet and looked down he saw two huge set of breasts on his chest, and looking down even further he has a freaking vagina where his buddy used to be. He looked up to see a laughing crew quarter laughing very hard. He suddenly got lightheaded and passed right out.
 
“Damn you see this body she is fucking smoking hot. If I would have known the compound did this, I would have done this ages ago. Bet she does not feel all tough now.” Tony said mockingly.
 
“Just wait boys ‘til I am finished with this bitch. She will be one well behaved little fuckpet” Cassie said smiling ear to ear.
 
“Fuck Jericho you outdid yourself, you said it would change her and I had my doubts about this but holy fuck she is a fucking babe.” Carl said patting Jericho on the shoulder in appreciation.
 
“You should have seen some of the woman that came out of the lab at Exogeni, it was nuts, they were trying to make gender reversible at will to create uncatchable spies.” Jericho Explained.
 
“Was that your only dose?” Tony asked from the back.
 
“No I have a couple of dozen with the possibility to make more I am sure in the Science Lab.” Jericho said nonchalantly.
 
“Holy shit Jericho why so many?” Cassie asked.
 
“That was the cushiest job I had in my life, that was until our Commander showed up to shut it down, she even shot the doctor running the facility. Granted we did some fucked up shit, we had these green looking zombies, fucking husks, you wanted something weird chances are you would find it there. So, when the Commander and her team enter the facilities, they were going through us guards like a knife through butter, she blew the brains out of my C.O, his blood hit me in the chest. So, I acted like I got shot in the chest and fell. I played dead until Shepard left. I was alone as she killed every single guard in that facility, so I grabbed a crate put as much cool things we had into it, and waited for the automated shuttle to come by with the next supply shipment which was about four days away. Long story short I have a couple of dozen of doses of nanite gender bender formula.  And now instead of a cocky little ex-alliance punk, we are going to have an fine ass  sextoy to play with. So I think it worked out. Although the weird thing is, I have never seen work this well, usually the process takes three days, and the person does not look this hot, he must have really been meant for this formula.” Jericho explained.
 
“Wrong Sergeant Jericho, Science Officer Solus was performing a rudimentary search of the ship and found your formula, he improved it as he puts it. “ EDI chimed in correcting Jericho's statement.
 
EDI started playing a recording of the fast-talking Salarian, “Ah gender bending formula how intriguing, and original, many uses this formula but must be Improved.
 
EDI switch to another recording, “Ah this should have better result, nanites programming incomplete, levels were wrong, unnecessary coding getting in the way of efficient matter transfer, fixed the algorithm of changing hormone levels to proper amounts. Should work better now.”
 
EDI switched off.
 
“Holy shit that crazy ass Salarian doctor improved it all right, I want first go at her,” Said Jericho.
 
“I got next” Said Tony
 
“ Captain are you in?” Jerico asked.
 
“Nah I will sit this one out I will try her out when Cassie finishes putting this ex-alliance fucktoy through her paces, whose Carla now bitch!” The Captain(Carl) said tauntingly to the unconscious form of now Kenzie Donnell. The entire room lit up with mirthful laughter.
 
Cassie listened to Jericho explain things and then decided to take a phallic gag out of her bag of tricks and walk over to the still passed out Ken. She wrapped the straps around her head and snapped them shut then gently pried Ken’s mouth open who now had fuller lips and snapped it shut.
 
“Get used to is Kenzie, you are going to be very familiar with this sensation.” Cassie laughed as she gently kissed “Kenzie” on her forehead.
 
 
 
Nine days later…….
 
Jericho was smiling ear to ear since the night of the poker game. He even decided to help Commander Shepard set up her Aquarium. He thought she was extremely attractive. But not as attractive as his Kenzie. It had been a rough go of it for Kenzie, the last nine days in the Cerberus crew deck. Jericho started Kenzie journey by taking her virginity, in every orifice he possibly could. He even bragged that she was so much tighter than Gabriella and her skin was much softer and smoother. The smooth part had more to do with EDI employing a medical laser to burn every follicle below the neck on poor Kenzie. She cried several times during the painful process as people usually did this procedure in stages over several months. Kenzie was done in three hours and was given copious amounts of medi-gel. Tony a medic had plenty to spare. Then Cassie introduced Kenzie to the female side of life with a vengeance. She wanted Kenzie as girly and stultified as possible. She did not allow Kenzie to walk unless it was in her high heels, if she was not wearing her high heels then she was to crawl on all fours. A position that led to Kenzie getting fucked from behind by any nearby Cerberus soldier. Kenzie learned early it would be better to walk in the heels.  Kenzie spent most mornings and nights worshipping every inch of Cassie’s body. She spent most of the day getting passed around the crew quarters and was sure that there was not one full time Cerberus crewman in these barracks who not had her. It was non-stop sex to the point Kenzie forgot what it felt like to be on the other side of the sex equation. Mordin Solus’s improvement also gave poor Kenzie and increased Libido and Cassie was making her into a top notch fuckslut. 
The most humiliating thing for Kenzie was when the Cerberus crew turned her into their fucktoy, they took his winnings from that life changing night, the jackpot he gloated over them for and made him or rather her, buy outfits for her new slut attire wardrobe. It was last straw that broke the camel’s back. Jericho claimed her as his and took great pleasure in making Kenzie declare how much she loves Cerberus Cock, and getting fucked by Cerberus men. Jericho did not stop there however; he also took a trip to the tattoo parlor on shore leave and gave Kenzie some very vulgar tattoos. On her right butt cheek, the words, “Grade A Cerberus Fuck Slut” was tattooed above a perfect remake of the Cerberus Emblem. Above her pussy was the words, Cerberus cock only. The crew then took poor Kenzie to get pierced. She now had hoops through both of her nipples, four on her nether lips, and long barbell right through clitoris.
 
Jericho would take Kenzie every time he had free time, and it was getting to the point where Kenzie would look forward to the mind blowing sex with her new Master. Between Cassie’s “training, whipping, and downright domination and Jericho slamming her pussy into the next galaxy. Kenzie was becoming a grade A fucktoy.  Even when she had some downtime she got so much sex, she would get wet and fantasize about getting taken again.
 
 
 
Little did the crew know that Shepard had another wildcard about to enter the game. This wildcard was definitely not Cerberus.
