Patreon Prompt 200

Prompt: A female scientist is in a hurry to try out her new teleporter. So, she decides to eat her egg while testing and ends up merging into an egg woman.

   Ivana couldn’t help cursing herself for being late on a day like this. Years upon years of research had led to the creation of an actual teleportation device. She had been adamant in wanting to be the first one to test it, making it all the more humiliating that a missed alarm had her sprinting through the lab with her breakfast still clutched in her hand. Breathing heavily as she stepped into the pod she tried to regain her energy by taking a bite of her boiled egg. Before her assistant could voice their concerns, she screamed through her still chewing mouth to start the machine.

   Fearful more of Ivana’s scorn than of something going wrong, the assistant did as they were told. As the two pods whirred to life, Ivana quickly shoved the rest of the egg into her mouth. Bolts of energy spread between the two machines as they got ready for the first trip. Smiling as she swallowed the last of her meal, Ivana only had a moment to enjoy her creation before she popped out of thin air.

   Ivana’s return trip was heralded by the opposite teleporter bursting apart. Shutting off the power to avoid burning the lab down, the assistant carefully walked through the rubble towards the massive, white, oblong object that reached towards the ceiling. As the assistant drew closer, they noticed a pair of stubby legs sticking out of the bottom of the enormous object. Gradually bringing their gaze up let them see similarly stubby hands sticking out. Finally putting two and two together, the assistant focused their attention on the apex of the egg-like object to see Ivana’s distorted face.

   “We may have some…kinks to work out involving cross contamination,” Ivana commented, wobbling back and forth in an attempt to roll towards her desk to start work on a way to reverse her eggy condition.
