《Biomancer: Songs of Sirens》Anomaly
Advertisement
We float across the hordes of mutants as none of them shift even a step. They just stand staring at us as Gorge uses her tentacles to cross them. I wonder what else she could do with those tentacles.
As we reach a glowing, fleshy construct on the ground formed with mounds of the mutants horded together, Gorge lowers onto the ground keeping me afloat using her gel. As we pass through a crevice that slides open with a squelch, the glowing yellow of the inside offers lighting for the lumpy interior.
Every few steps, a series of glowing sacks ebb a orange light with a red lining while little creatures swim in the transparent covering. The floor sinks under Gorge's feet as she [aces through a series of grotesque hallways. She paces with firm steps as we traverse down staircases, but the stair remind me more like sloping hallways covered in ducttape.
The mush of the floor fuses with her feet allowing her to walk as her body angles the same as the floor. So even though she walks at a 45 degree angle, she never loses her balance. The spectacle permeates the surreal, moody atmosphere the whole area emanates.
As we reach a large corridor at the bottom of the expanse. Several other members circle around a single tube at the center of the room. Another girl with navy blue hair stands with her arms crossed eying Pyrex as he floats in the chamber while an 8 foot tall red man stands with his chest puffed and chin lowered.
Another man with green spectacles stands over a nob on the side of the tube with his arms fused into the fleshy mound while his eyes glow the same shade of neon yellow as the opaque liquid. An orange man with a lithe figure leans on a red sword with his pointed eyebrows and chin glaring at Pyrex in the tube.
Pyrex's skin grayed since our last meeting, but he pulls the ashen warrior look off with his raven hair and red eyes. His broad shoulders lead towards his lean, strong neck while his exposed chest shows his chiseled mid section. It's like staring at a dream.
He thinks the same of me I'm sure. I say as Gorge enters the room, "Pyrex! When will he wake up?"
Gorge says towards the others ,"Use verbal communication since Allure can't hear us."
The navy blue haired women with sky blue wings and purple skin rasps in a voice like smoke, "Why are we saving a human?"

Gorge snaps her finger as a tentacle slams into the feisty seductress with enough force to crush stone. She smashes into the floor beneath us. Gorge says spitting her words acidly, "Never. Question. My. Decisions...Understood?"
The other other members nod as the blue pulp on the floor regenerates from the catastrophic damage. As her face reforms, tears of purple lace down her cheeks until she reforms whimpering without voicing her displeasure.
The brutality of the gesture overwhelms me with fear. My vision narrows until I no longer recognize the sides of my sight while my heart rate heightens. She could have killed me before. I was too naive to notice.
Gorge says, "The human has been infected with the fog for over three days, yet he hasn't mutated. He fights off his infection with this siren's unique seal. Bordore, I need you too observe the marks to correlate the view to any known languages."
The giant red man says with a voice that pronounces its words with a sharp clarity, "Of course. I see you've taken on the name Gorge. It is fitting. I enjoy it."
She smiles as she hands me off into his brawny arms. His skin oozes a oil that smells like powdered stone. I dislike his touch, but I say nothing after the display by Gorge earlier. As I leave the room, Pyrex's eyes flare open, but they show a far more animalistic glint than before.
As our eyes meet, the seething anger he harbors explodes as his shiny aura encircles him like before he jumped into the stone. The liquid soaks into him within seconds while the green proctor overseeing his tube falls against the flesh mound hanging by his hands.
His eyes no longer shine. Instead, a blank grayness replaces his stare before he rips his hands off of the console. Gorge shouts, "Stop Harlow. What are you doing?"
He rears his head back smashing into the glass case shattering the expanse before Pyrex radiates a shockwave shooting wind in every direction. A set of plated tails grows out of his back that end in sharp blades as he says cracking his fists, "I feel amazing."
Gorge stares at him in disbelief as she says, "You aren't mutating like normal. why haven't you become a dreadnought after soaking the solution up? It should have sped up your mutations if you absorbed it like that."
Pyrex snaps, "I don't really know, but more importantly-" He gazes towards Bordore saying with a tone like flossing with barbed wire. "I believe your hands are two coarse for Allure's soft skin. Give her back."

Bordore blinks in surprise as before he looks towards Gorge. She says, "Alright. Let the lover birds enjoy each others company."
He walks over as the tails on Pyrex's back lift me from his arms with a gentle care. The smooth, warm plates remind me of scales before I fall into his arms. He glances at me with a feral intensity as he says, "I've missed you."
He's so sexy. I melt in his arms as I hug against him. The orange man with a pointed chin leaps towards Pyrex before two more tentacles burst from his back with one stabbing through the mans chest while the smashes him against the floor. Pyrex turns towards Gorge as he says,
"Keep your dogs away from me and Allure."
She squints her eyes as she says, "Your one of my dogs now."
Pyrex flashes one of his determined grins as he says, "Try me. You're biting more than you can chew, Gorge."
Her five tentacles of blood shoot towards Pyrex, but another set of tails spout from Pyrex's back with the same interlocking of plates like parallelograms of iron. He blocks the tentacles grimacing as he says,
"I'm willing to listen to what you have to say, just calm down. I want to do what's right, and your statements earlier having me questioning what I know."
Gorge places sits down on a spawned chair of black blood she crafted as she lowered herself. She places both her hands together as she says leaning on a platform of red goop, "Alright then. If your willing to listen, then I'm willing to talk."
Pyrex wafts a scent like a super sweet jellyfish as he smiles saying, "How is the Melotic Empire destroying this world?"
Gorge's eyes harden as she grates, "You'd best sit down. It's a long story."
I smile as I sing, so Gorge reaches her tentacles towards me before Pyrex blocks with his own saying, "What are you doing?"
I place a hand on his cheek turning his eyes towards me as I say my sharp notes. Gorge may be violent, but she does not lie.
Our gazes meet, and he understands me intention, so he allows the tentacles to submerge us. The black sludge becomes a warm pink allowing us to see each other. I say as I circle my tail around him, "She just wants to allow me to speak. Thank you for trusting me."
He smiles as he says, "As you are as faithful as the moon and her stars, I devote myself for your light."
My face flushes as I stammer, "Wow. That was really...poetic. Thank you."
He says, "It's a quote from the Magna Alma. One of the greatest legends of our world spoke those words to Gaia herself."
The declaration only exacerbates my embarrassment before he leans his forehead against mine as he says, "I don't appreciate you offering Gorge threesomes however."
I look around as I flush further saying, "Uh...How did you know about that."
He smiles as he says, "Gorge can listen to my thoughts and give me her own. She actually enjoyed your teasing more than she admits."
Gorge spouts, "Be quiet. You need to listen more. You may find yourself learning more that way."
Hmmm...I say, "How can I hear you?"
Pyrex smiles showing sharpened teeth as he says, "This gel operates as a telepathic medium between us."
He changed languages their for a second, but I scratch my head as I say, "Hmmm. Ok. That makes sense."
He moves his hands through my hair as he says, "It doesn't matter how. I'm just glad we can speak with each other."
His warmth soothes my nerves as I say leaning towards him, "We can do more than that if you want."
Gorge flicks the back of my head as I imagine her rolling her eyes towards me. I turn towards her saying as my panic from earlier melts, "Are you jealous? There's always room for one more?"
Pyrex flicks the back of my head as he rolls his eyes in the exact same way I imagined Gorge would earlier. I raise an eyebrow as I say, "Why not? She's beautiful. Enchanting even."
He floats to his side as he presses his muscular body against mine saying as he breaths in my ear, "She's not you though."
What a smooth talker. I want to eat him up. Gorge says, "Can we focus for a few minutes?"
Pyrex glances towards her saying, "Of course."
She leans against a hardened portion of gel in front of her as she says, "It started long ago in the fields of Maria."
Pyrex's eyes widen as he says, "No...It can't be..."
Gorge closes her eyes before she says, "It can't, but it is."
I say gazing between them both, "What is it?"
Pyrex closes his eyes as he says, "The Fog...It's divine retribution upon us."

The Last Science [SE]
[SE has the same content as the original story, split into smaller chunks for easier reading. This story is on a temporary hiatus due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. I work in healthcare and unfortunately no longer have the freetime to continue posting on a regular basis. As soon as our workload decreases, I will return. Thanks for reading! 💙] No one ever knows the whole story. Deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, the fading town of Rallsburg stumbles upon an amazing discovery—magic itself. Faced with potentially world-shattering power, the people of Rallsburg keep the secret for themselves. Led by Rachel DuValle, a perpetually underestimated college student with grand ambitions, they seek to found a new society. The world beyond suspects nothing, but magic cannot stay hidden forever. A train arrives in Rallsburg carrying Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate. To him, magic could represent meaning for his life, an explanation for his empty existence. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever—or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series, focused on the modern world with a twist. New societies bud and grow, but the people who make them up are imperfect and flawed. The story includes elements of mystery, action, crime, interpersonal drama, relationships, philosophy, sociology, politics, and much more, all centered on the perspective characters driving the tale. This is the "Scraps Edition" of the story, where the chapters have been split up into bite-size chunks (roughly 1500-3000 words), for your convenience. The prose has been edited from its original form, with some improvements, but there are no content differences from the original. New chapters will be posted throughout each week starting on Friday and appearing on multiple days thereafter, depending on the length of the chapter. Content Warning (by request): This series delves into some topics and situations which may be upsetting for some readers. In American rating parlance, the narrative would be rated PG-13 (except for language), but some have noted the story can get pretty dark on occasion.
