Hiroko Minazumi, prototype cyborg, part 8 - "Metallassomaiphobia"

"Soooo, this laboratory complex is much-much smaller, than one in my dream. But at least, I have solved main issues with my health... I found test tubes, two of them labeled as plant serum and one as slime mutagen. As well as other types, like lupine, beast and also four tubes with purifier serum.

​

I took syringe, filled it with slimy thing - and broke a needle, when first tried to inject it. There are only few places it is doable, took me some time to figure, where needle could be inserted - almost every bit of my body has some type of convoluted armor under the skin. Good thing, there are plenty of syringes down there. When I pressed the plunger pain took me over and my consciousness left me.

​

After it returned, I found myself lying on the floor - with painful sores all over my skin, which was also covered in thick viscous substance. Horrified, I immediately lied on the bench and injected purifier. Same pain, same unconsciousness. But after awakening, sores and slime gone and I felt cleansed. Ah, what a relief, notes were precise.

​

After spending some time reading heroic novels and lying in bed, I drank a bit of water and braced myself to use plant one. Like, well double dose. And then, oh god, I felt better and wounds were healing almost visibly, I swear, but... My skin was all rough and barky and god was I ugly, almost throwed up from my own sight in the little mirror. Didn't even knew, that that degree of ugliness is possible. That worsen even that ugliness from my cybernetics. Hovewer, purifier helped again. Never ever would I touch this nasty stuff.

​

Now I am almost unchanged. Except my body is trying to heal itself now, not so fast though, but acceptable. After couple of days passed, almost every wound and hematoma was healed, not without help of medicine, of course. Still must to clean and cover wounds, take antibiotics and aspirin, but it is a rational thing to do anyway."

P.S. >!Cheesing out imperceptive healer with mutagens, mutate, purify, repeat until fast healer cancels it and then purify everything!<
