Wait... she was being let go?  That didn't make any sense...  Anna frowned, her mind rapidly clearing, as the bug had told her it would.  Reaching down to retrieve her rifle, she was surprised at the sight of her hand.  It was slender... graceful.  Perfectly feminine, and yet it retained the strength and dexterity that had come from her training as a trooper.<br/><br/>Clothing was obviously non-existent here, so she would have to find a new uniform somewhere in the base that had not been overtaken.  With one last glance up at the Gracoxien, Anna fled, moving quickly to the door and heading into the next chamber.  "This is some seriously screwed up shit...," she muttered, her hands gripping her rifle.  She thought normally, felt normally, but her whole body felt... better.<br/><br/>She didn't know how to describe it, but she just felt better, like she'd finished a long run and now the endorphins were flooding her system.  Catching a glimpse of herself in the glass of a mirror, she stopped.  "What the..."  That couldn't possibly be her!  She was shocked, her rifle dropping as she brought her hands to rub over her body.  So that was what that bug's poison had been doing to her... not just mentally subduing her, but physically altering her, mutating her until she was an ideal woman to breed.  "Oh god... he's right, there's no way I'm going to be able to keep fighting for long."<br/><br/>Shaking her head, Anna resumed her trip into the base, stopping at the chamber where Maya was being held.  She had to resist for as long as she could, maybe stop another comrade from being taken.  From the sounds inside the room, Maya was still fighting.  Leveling her rifle into firing position, she took a deep breath before kicking the door in and rushing inside.  "Lieutenant!"
