Scales'n'Tails

Iona retreated to the warm seclusion of her bedroom, a familiar cocoon from which the new, improved version of herself would emerge. She pulled a vial and a syringe out of her purse and marvelled at it.

"Finally, all of my programming will pay off," she thought to herself. With one shot in the arm, all of the genetic tendencies toward developing cancer she'd inherited from her parents would be wiped out.

She'd worked in the lab for the past five years alongside a team developing nanotechnology designed to rewrite genetic code in adult models... and, on the sly, she'd been working on a set of instructions designed for her own purposes. A reformatting of some nano-bots disposed after a test run (with some re-encoding on a private computer system) and she'd not only have the cleanest bill of health on the planet, but, with a few tweaks here and there, she could also enhance some of her... let's say... smaller "assets."

Unbeknownst to her, however, some stray bits of code from the team's tests on various reptiles had lingered...

As the scales began leaving elaborate black, teal, and white markings all over her developing body and her hair fell to the floor leaving just a matching fin-like patch over her scalp, Iona gazed at herself in wonder.

"You know, I can make this work..."
