In Space, No One Can Hear You Swell

[Ulchaban]

The Martian space cruise ship finally launched into space, on a voyage led by Queen Tyr'ahnee. Guests from all over the galaxy were invited aboard; some were commoners, but many were royals and leaders from planets and galaxy-spanning empires, such as the Diamond Authority. It was an opulent, fancy cruise, organized by Tyr'ahnee mostly to show off how rich her empire was.
The ship had a large ballroom where most of the guests were, chatting away or eating exotic delicacies made by a team of talented chefs. Tyr'ahnee was among them, wearing her usual attire: a gold and purple, green-jeweled head band matched with a gold bikini top, gold bracers, a gold necklace, purple shoes, and an almost scandalously transparent purple skirt that left little to the imagination, with thigh slits on the sides, held by a golden belt with a green jewel at the center.
She was talking to other guests, whilst holding a mostly full crystal glass of Martian whine, idly brushing her own white hair with her fingers.

[Mitsunami]

Deep in the reaches of space, not far from one of the outer rings of Saturn, a black ship that appeared covered in red veins from the way the plating was spread over it, as well as the bridge resembling a skull face with a horned helmet was hovering in the empty void. This was interestingly not the first ship of its kind, though it was only about half as big as the original flagship that it was based on.

Inside, a grim-looking muscular figure in a horned, skull-masked helmet was looking at the computer readout of Saturn's rings and chuckling wickedly as they aimed the ship's laser cannons, looking for just the perfect spot to make every single ring break right in half.

However, a moment later, as another screen on their console beeped, they paused their calculations...and slammed both heavy palms down on the console, staring at the new info- a schematic of Queen Tyr'ahnee's ship, as well as coordinates...but more importantly, a blinking red spot showing a sensor readout of a substance located somewhere inside the hull.

"Ohhhhh, look at that..." the figure rumbled in a pleased, wicked tone. "Those kind of readings...that's either enough Volcanium X to let me finally upgrade this ship back to its proper, badass size...or even bigger!...or...well, if it's not, that kinda energy readout's gotta do something fun! Bwahahahah!"

With that, they retracted the cannons, punched in the new coordinates and hurried off to the location indicated, chuckling with evil glee the whole way.

[BioYuGi]

Tali'zorah was quite astonished at the extravagance on display in Queen Tyr'ahnee's cruise ship. There was even a sizable spread of dextro-based food that she was able to consume, even if it all had to be processed into a fine slurry so it could be fed through her induction port. But the engineer still felt highly out of place in this setting. She wasn't quite sure why she'd been chosen as one of the quarian sent to represent the flotilla. She had at least managed to get out of her seat and wander around trying to listen in on conversations. Sipping her drink through the hole in her mask, another unfortunate issue with the environmental suit she had to wear at all times.

"Wow..." Tali said as she approached the queen and was taken in by her beauty. It was one thing to be so beautiful, and another to be so brazen about it. But it seriously worked for her, and Tali couldn't say she'd do the same if she were able to show off a bit more. She'd had a human or too stare at her backside for far too long while she was bent over in cooling vents... She sipped again and looked around. The color spectrum of alien life was something to behold.

[Geno XIII]

Peridot Facet-2F5L Cut-5XG was assigned to quite the unorthidox task: being part of Blue Diamond's escourt with her like-hued pearl, a few cool-colored Jaspers and an Aquamarine for good measure...

So why in the three quadrants was she made to tag along and record everything by Yellow Diamond while she was off administering colonies.

"Log date 1 75 4..." a nasally voice mumbled behind the violet hued Tali at a volume meant to just be to herself, but she was at least in ear's reach.

A very lanky lime green lifeform about as tall as she was boredly mused to a floating... thing... Diamond in shape and looking like it was made of four cylinders while displaying a hologram in the middle gap as the creature's single right arm's digit prodded at it to activate unknown touscreen functions; said digit was also a floating cylinder the size of a piece of writing chalk floating near a mechanical stump of an arm. The other arm showed five more digits behind her back and 'balled' up into a fist at an invisible wrist's gap away from the other arm stump.

Her every step was made with a metallic 'plink' noise like she was an android - at least from the knees down. The face consisted of a lime green complexion, tiny pointy nose, a light green visor over bored slanted eyes, a green upside down triangle on the forehead and... hair?... done up in a vaguely diamond shape.

"...this is my first interaction with... organics... The funcrion of this... 'party' is still unclear to me. Most of the lifeforms seem to be..." she gave an exasperated sigh "consuming sustinence - as I am told organics do to survive. My search for potential weapons for a potential assassination continues. Many things look like weapons and my queries of such keep being met with disdain... Curiously the Martian guard seem to be all artificial, though too many unessesary details to their design. What is the purpose of the... red... frilly crowns...?"

[Ulchaban]

At the meantime, Blue Diamond was chatting amicably with Tyr'ahnee. The towering being had her dark blue mantle on her shoulders, its hood covering her head. She had to bend over a bit to properly address the Martian Queen, accompanied by her blue Pearl servant.

"It is so kind of you to invite the Diamond Authority to your party," She spoke in a soft voice. "but I'm afraid I was the only one able to come." She smiled rather sadly.

Tyr'ahnee could feel the Diamond's feelings pass through her; she had heard that Blue Diamond was capable of making her own feelings be felt on nearby lifeforms, and feeling it upfront was a particular experience. Nevertheless, she kept her composure, and tried to make the towering Gem comfortable.

"That's fine." Tyr'ahnee took a sip from her glass. If she had a mouth it was invisible to the eye. "Being in the presence of a member of the great Diamond Authority is quite flattering already." She brushed her white hair to the side and cocked her hip to the side, crossing an arm under her breasts. "Please make yourself at ease. No need for formalities in here."

At that moment, a feline alien strutted into the ballroom from the door leading to the ship's bridge. She wore a blue form-fitting uniform with a long tail, tight light brown pants that defined her plump backside, and high-heeled boots that clopped on the floor as she walked to Tyr'ahnee. She whipped her red short hair aside before directly addressing the queen, "Your Highness, the cargo is completely secured in the hold." Then spoke in a lower voice. "Including the 'item'."

The Martian Queen glanced at the cat lady, and nodded once. "Very well, Amelia." She let out an annoyed huff. "I have no idea why someone would send that among the gifts. Make sure it's secured. Who knows what might happen if IT spills..."

Amelia nodded and discreetly retired.

The party went on for an hour without any accidents. At the bridge, Amelia was watching the ethereal space through the frontal window, sitting in front of a radar close to the robot navigator. For a moment she looked away to grab a glass of wine, and when she turned back she saw a bright yellow dot just a flew clicks away from the cruise's position. She widened her sea green eyes and got up abruptly. "How did that--"

[Mitsunami]

The readout on the radar would show the other vessel approaching at speeds that suggested they were either an incompetent pilot or maybe weren't aware that you couldn't dock with another ship at that swift of an approach. Or maybe...

The question would be answered soon enough as the other ship got close enough to be seen from the window, showing that the front of its hull was rapidly folding out into a bulkier metal plating to cover the nose of the ship, ending in a hard point. That sort of armor wasn't sold among the typical merchant ships, mainly because it only had two real uses- either flying through asteroid fields to break through the rock directly and mine for deep space minerals or- oh damn it!

Before the alarms could even activate and warn everyone to brace for impact, a hard impact would rock the ship, the other ship crashing right into one of the lower decks and probably sending several people sprawling off of their feet, not to mention sending the full brunt of the shockwave right into the cargo hold.

No warnings, no registered emblems on the ship's hull, and their radio wasn't matching any of the sponsored frequencies. That could only mean one thing- space pirates.

-----------

"Huh...wow, what's this thing made of? Flendarr Tungsten?" the armored figure rumbled, frowning at the substantial dent they'd made in the other ship...but not a single crack in the hull. Their plan had been to plow straight through, then double back and pick up the glowing item from the wreckage...but...

"Ah well...direct approach it is, then!" they cackled, getting up to proceed towards the docking tunnel, one massive gauntlet bubbling with magma as the other crackled with forming ice.

[Silver]

Sebae'sai still had no real idea how she was chosen to come here. At first she'd assume it was just to get her out of the tribe for a while.... but with all of the big names and faces she only somewhat recognized she couldn't help but wonder why she of all people was chosen. At least the food was good. Leaning out a good few feet she grabbed another plate of food, before pulling back onto the snake like coils of her lower body.

She was keeping to herself mostly just watching the others as they mingled, danced, ate and otherwise partied. The food those was quite amazing she had to admit, wrapping her tongue around a sausage of some sort as she lifted it to her lips and swallowed it in one bite. "Ahhh~ maybe a bit more salt." She commented aloud as she licks her lips, listening to who she assumed was from the Diamond Authority.... and was that a quarian as well? She hasn't actually seen one herself. Her next thought though was quickly thrown to the side as something struck the ship, her coils thankfully giving her enough support to stay upright, even as her plate was thrown all over her clothing, a pout coming to her face as she pulled her coat off, leaving her with little more than a bikini on.

[Ulchaban]

The entire ballroom shook, food and drinks falling off the tables and the lights flickering. Blue Diamond almost tripped and fell, and Tyr'ahnee held onto a table to not fall too.

"What was that?!" The queen exclaimed.

At the bridge, Amelia regained her military composure and grabbed a communicator.

"We're under attack by pirates." The guests heard Amelia's voice coming from the speakers. "Please remain calm and direct yourselves to the escape pods."

Down below in the hold, the entire cargo was thrown off balance. Expensive gifts fell and broke, and a few fastened shiny metal barrels rolled on the floor. Said barrels' lids popped open after rolling around for too long, and a bright blue liquid poured out of them by the galons. This liquid quickly changed colors, turning purple, and evaporated into a purple mist that was sucked up the air vents. It would flow around the whole ship's ventilation system, sipping into other rooms through other vents, and it soon reached the ballroom, now completely invisible to the naked eye except for a barely noticeable distortion in the air. Those who inhaled it barely felt anything but a warm sensation creeping down their spine.

[BioYuGi]

"Sorry, were you talking to me?" Tali asked the lithe green alien. Tali had vaguely heard of these lifeforms but didn't know what species it was in particular. The gemstone on her forehead indicated that she was known as a Gem, obviously enough, but Tali didn't want to make an assumption. She watched Peridot mess with her cyber-screen for a bit, and scooted as bit closer as the emerald-colored, though not an emerald gem, woman dealt with her business. "Excuse me, I don't mean to interrupt but, that's a very interesting tool you have there?" Tali extended her left arm, which displayed an orange holo-projection. "It seems to function similar to my omni-tool, but yours seems a bit more advanced."

Tali felt like she was going through a guideline on how to talk to new people. Discuss a common interest, compliment them somehow, gauge their appeal. Now what? The purple hue of her visor hid her lack of confidence as she tried to come up with something else to say.

"You're very green." No, nope, that wasn't the right thing to say. Oh, she begged for a distraction.

One was provided. Tali turned as something slammed into their luxury cruise ship to try and discern what was going on, but the aftershock of the impact took Tali by surprise. She was flung a short distance off of the ground, butt-first.

"Ya!" she exclaimed, hoping she didn't land on anything or anyone.

[Geno XIII]

Peridot gave a confused and then very awkward glance at Tali's attempts at conversation. Merely letting her display refold back to five "touch stumps" of a floating hand while glancing around even more awkwardly.

"And your... limb enhancers is... orange..." this was worse than she thought it would be. The diamonds and her Agate supervisor specifically told her to try to be social and not embarrass the Diamond Authority... But this was the job of a Spinel or Pearl!

Before she could muse any further, she gave a shrill squeal as her magnetic gravity connectors failed to bond with the floor and sent her ass first right into Tali's visor.

"Turbulence!? What clod pilot causes this much turbulence on this magnetude of a vessel!?"

[Mitsunami]

Naturally, with a pirate alarm in progress, the invader found themself stopped by the airlock door when they attempted to connect the docking bridge. However, they only snickered at this, putting one gauntlet over the opening and making it glow an angry red, soon causing a hole to melt through the metal. Stepping inside, they pointed their other gauntlet, sealing the entrance with a frigid blast of ice, before finally twisting open the airlock and letting themself in.

Once in the main hall, they wasted no time in forming a pillar of flash-cooled magma to bring themselves up within everyone's view, their masculine, booming voice spreading out to the entire banquet all.

"All right, listen up you hoity-toity, no-spined, jelly-boned, high-society dork-asses!" they shouted, spreading their arms in a wide, menacing sweep as nasty looking icicle spears formed over one hand and a glowing comet of magma spun above the other. "The entire cargo of this ship now belongs to Lord Dominator! I'm talking food, the entire cargo hold, whatever valuable property you cowards are holding onto....but most importantly, whatever it is giving off that juicy energy signal from your lower deck! Pile it all up right here and I might even give you time to evacuate before I blow your little pleasure-yacht into space dust!"

[BioYuGi]

"Ah?!" Tali fumbled around and eventually had her hands on Peridot's rump. Which confirmed that the alien was not entirely cybernetic and that certain parts were squishy. "Could you please get off of my face, please?" she asked. Her mask meant her voice wasn't muffled and it had no chance of breaking but it wasn't comfortable being on the floor, regardless.

There was another unfortunate side effect to Tali's visor being sat on, she missed the important notification that something was entering her suit's filtration system and was not able to be filtered out, so the purple mist sank into her oxygen-distribution system and seeped into Tali's body, making her temperature rise slightly. Eventually she was up on her feet and able to see the imposing figure land on the ship.

"Oh, Keelah…" she muttered. She had been that close to bringing her shotgun with her, but decided against it. Though this masculine figure didn't seem like something so paltry as a firearm would damage them...

[Silver]

"Are you two okay?" Sebae said as she rushed over to try and help peridot off Tali, getting both onto their feet as she Coiled herself back up, the straps of her pink bikini digging into her respectable chest

The loud, boisterous cry from their party crasher left her a little worried. She didn't really have much to lose at least, even as she tastes something new in the air she can't quite place.

[Ulchaban]

"You will have to get through me first." Tyr'ahnee stood up proudly with her legs open, holding a long baton in her hands and sided by two hovering Martian battle androids. "Nobody takes my ship and gets away with it." She pressed a button on the baton and two fan-shaped laser blades sprouted out of each end.

The other guests ran out of the room, but Blue Diamond stayed behind. While not a combatant like Yellow Diamond, Blue's size still gave her a lot of confidence. "You better go back to the hole you crawled out of..." She narrowed her eyes and clenched her fists, standing up behind Tyr'ahnee as she glared at the pirate leader.

Unnoticed by them, the barely visible mist spread around the ballroom. All those in there unknowingly inhaled it, and kept inhaling as more pumped into the place through the vents.

Tali soon would feel a tingling but pleasing feeling snaking down her spine, making her nipples under her suit tingle. Her shapely butt would bounce once, gaining a slightly bit more volume as a start for changes to come.

The same would happen to Peridot, Sebae, and even to the invader, the feeling spreading from head to toe, giving them a sensation completely alien to them. Especially around the more... erogenous areas. Peridot and Blue Diamond would feel it the most, for they weren't organic.

[Mitsunami]

The invader smirked so hard that it could almost be heard even through their obscuring helmet, pointing the ice at the Martian while aiming the magma-comet at the Diamond. "You know, I was truly hoping someone here had the guts to fight back. This would be way too easy and hardly worth it otherwise. Alright, so I'll destroy you clowns first. Still gonna want that loot when I'm done, though!"

With that, they fired, shooting a rain of icicles at Tyr'ahnee, with a rush of freezing air behind it, while Blue Diamond's guards would need to move swiftly if they didn't want her to have to defend herself against an indoor shooting-star followed by a red hot stream of magma for good measure.

The invader's body was actually completely hidden from everyone thanks to the thickness of their armor, but the skull mask did have air holes between the "teeth" and this individual did need to breathe, so there was nothing actually stopping the colorless gas from entering their helmet as well...particularly given the amount of air they were sucking in so they could keep laughing maniacally.

[Geno XIII]

"Kee-ah~ what did one of you do?"

Her form began to phaze slightly like her body aside from her limb enhancers visibly flickered. Unbeknownst to her, her form was now more... "organic"-like than she was... though it was hard to tell that now her body was sprouting essentially a pussy and nipples under spandex instead of a vague area where skin began and clothing ended...

[BioYuGi]

"Ah, yes, I'm functional," Tali said quickly as she pulled herself to her feet. Underneath her visor, Tali blushed at the sight of Sebae's sizable bosom, which seems quite prominently on display. She gulped, unaware that the blush was forming on her helmet as well. Maybe it was the sight of the woman's breasts that made Tali ignore the warmth that built up in her suit, but her buttocks tingling made her wonder if this alien had some sort of pheromone treatment she was putting out. Because Tali was mystifyingly taken with her appearance. But no, when she turned and saw Peridot as well, that same pulsating in her body was there as well. Something about the green woman's body all of a sudden felt more alluring to the Quarian, who up to that moment considered herself straight as could be.

"Ahhh… I, at least, think I am?" she said, taking another deep breath. Tali shivered as her bottom expanded, and stretched out her suit, filling it with more soft, dark purple flesh beneath its smooth surface. Her pussy felt a strange sensation as well, as if she'd activated her nerve-stim vibration program. "Y-Yes, I'm sure I'm fine. I'm running a diagnostic, right now, and I don't notice anything odd?" she asked, unsure of it herself, even as her buttocks bounced again, like she was clenching her cheeks together. She looked over at Peridot and rubbed her thighs together.

[Silver]

"Something tastes weird...." Sabae muttered, shaking her head as she turned to face the encounter near the queen, suddenly diving to the side to avoid a wayward shot from their pirate adversary. She bounced for a moment on the ground, catching herself, mostly as she can feel her breasts squish up against the cool floor. Her nipples grow erect, digging into the fabric as she lets out a soft moan, the pleasure amplified far beyond what she was used too.

Shaking her head to regain her senses, she pushed herself upright, feeling more sensitive all over as her fingers trail against the ground, air moving over her skin, even her tail felt more sensitive as the scales slid across the ground. She was almost afraid to try poking the tip, knowing it was already sensitive, too distracted by these thoughts to realize that her top was digging into her skin more, her breasts filling out slowly as she tries to ignore the moistness of her crotch. "S-something is definitely wrong...." She speaks up, her eyes starting to linger on the bodies of the other girls around her.

[Ulchaban]

Tyr'ahnee gracefully dodged the icicles, taking a step to the side, twirling, and then swinging the baton, vaporizing the icicles with her laser blades. It almost looked like a dance, and she looked sensual while doing it. Step by step the Martian Queen moved closer to her opponent to strike.

But before she could, a sudden sensation shot up her body, her pussy suddenly feeling wet, making her pitch black cheeks turn pink and her eyes grow wide. She comically tripped forward and stopped her fall with her own baton, stabbing the floor with one of its blades. The queen looked up at the invader, the blush suffusing over her whole face, and awkwardly stood back upright, tossing her white hair back.

"A-a minor slip from my part." She coughed and regained her composure. But that was quickly ruined by another rush of the strange, erotic sensation from before. This time, she felt her shapely butt tense before--

Fwooomp! Like a pair of black latex balloons, her buttocks swelled under her skirt, rising it on top of their shapes. Her soft squishy black hips pushed their way through the thigh slits, her thighs plumping on synchrony and filling her thigh gap.

"W-whaaa?" Tyr'ahnee's voice cracked. The queen looked over the shoulder in utter shock, staring at the plumping mass that rose over her back. And failing to notice that her breasts were rapidly expanding on the front, the cups of her bikini sinking into their plush, pillowy mass.

Blue watched with her jaw dropped; could organics do this?, she thought. She was too concentrated on the scene to feel or see that her own figured was expanding too. Her blue dress began to feel tight around the bosom and bottom areas. Much like Peridot, Blue Diamond's body was now more organic, giving her already soft form a more cushiony, pliant feel. And a lot of jiggling every time she moved.

But that was only the beginning of the changes. The others would feel sudden, abrupt increase in softness on their chests and bottoms, their horniness increasing in a heartbeat. Other changes would occur, specific to each of them, and that was the first wave out of many...

[Mitsunami]

The masked invader smiled beneath their mask as Tyr'ahnee nimbly dodged the assault of ice. It was always so much more fun when their target knew how to fight back a little...and made it that much more satisfying to crush them in the end. Sure, the big blue...whatever she was hadn't been hurt by the lava either, but only because her annoying little soldiers had blocked the attack. If she wasn't going to fight by herself, then she wasn't going to be as much fun! So with that in mind, they turned back towards the Martian, spreading one clawed gauntlet covered in a chilly mist and-!

"Uh..." they raised an eyebrow behind the mask, lost for words momentarily as the queen stumbled. "You know, you'd normally wait to do that until *after* I turned the path you're running on into an ice pond...." they rumbled out, right before going silent again when the Martian Queen's shapely rear began to rapidly grow out underneath her, as if enlarging into a cushion to break her fall. For a second, it seemed like the invader's own ice had backfired, freezing themself over from how silent and still they had gone. Then...

"Are....you..."

It happened very rapidly. One moment, the imposing, musclebound figure was glaring straight at Tyr'ahnee, then all at once, the bulging arms and towering height shrank away, dwindling to a thin, yet curvy frame, the black armor and spiky shoulder guards receding into what looked more like spiked shoulderpads over a black T-shirt with a runny heart emblem, stretched out by respectable...bustline?

"Freakin' serious!? Bwahahaha! Oh, that is- hee hee hee! -that's one for the scrapbook, this is too damn funny! You came in all 'Grrr, I'mma stab ya good!' but then you were all 'Eeeek, falling-falling-falling!' and then you were all 'Whhaaaaaa!? How'd I turn into a living pillow!?' and you look so....damn...stupid~~!"

Yes, even the voice was decidedly female now, sounding like an older teen as Lord Dominator's real body became apparent as some species of green-skinned humanoid with pointy, elf-like ears, darker green freckles smattering her skin, and a figure that was somehow easily as lush as Tyr'ahnee's had been to start. She even had white hair, though that was sprouting up from the center of her head and seemed all combed to fall to one side down to her shoulders, while her big pink eyes ran with tears as she tried to stop laughing to the point that it hurt.

She finally let out a sigh as her laughter calmed, drawing one gloved hand across her mascara-streaked eyes before locking Queen Tyr'ahnee with a wicked smile as a snowflake appeared over the tip of one finger, rapidly starting to spin in place and gain more mass, gradually swelling into a massive spear of ice, spiraling like a drill as its point aimed at the Martian's enlarged chest. "Well...this has been fun and very amusing, but...got loot to snatch and a ship to blow up- this one- so I gotta end this now, Queeny. Think I'll hit my target this time, don't you?"

She swung her hand forward, sending the bolt of ice spinning its sharp point on a direct flight path like a javelin...just as her own breasts surged with growth, green spheres plumping up much faster than any watermelon, and just a bit bigger besides, the sudden and unexpected increase in weight causing her to slump forward, changing the angle of her attack and sending the ice spear straight into the floor. She managed to stay standing, giving a gasp of surprise, followed by a second as her long black skirt started to gain some new curve to fall around as well, her buttocks, hips, and thighs all growing out rapidly, fighting for space under the long skirt and-

TWANG "Ow!"

She bit her lip, going lightly pink in annoyed embarrassment as her black panties with the same running heart emblem on the crotch, dropped out from under her skirt, having snapped from the rising mass of her wide hips.

"Wha...what the hell is this!? Are you morons contagious!?" she demanded, trying to brush her hair out of her right eye, as the pure white tresses had started to rapidly grow as well, lengthening and thickening until they fell to the same length as Tyr'ahnee's own white mane...still only falling to one side of her head, though.
