keeping a lid on things outline

    • Doctor Gibbons is having a session with the new teams, bringing them up to speed.

      • Sarah is among them, and chats with him casually before the session begins.

      • It's interrupted by the first public news leak about the procedure, and the women. A leaked cellphone photo of TJ makes headlines (which TJ is not at all upset about). The exterior of the base is swamped with reporters, trying to get in.

    • Doctor Gibbons meets with his superior 7'8", and she explains their plans for how to handle the leak. She can't talk to the press at the moment, and they need someone with more clout than PR, so he'll have to go and talk to the press.

      • He's supposed to confirm a research study, but deny anything is going on, including denying the photo as a hoax.

      • The doctor challenges just how long they can keep this a secret.

      • Superior moves onto other business

        • Superior heard about Nurse Kim applying for military medical school, and explains it'll have to wait, as she can't very well attend medical school until this whole thing is public

        • she also explains she's decided it's important to have a medically trained transformed doctor on staff. Fortunately, one of the doctors in the training group has agreed to be stationed here as his partner, and undergo the procedure. She confirms it'll be Dr Calver, Dr Sarah Calver.

          • He wasn't often attracted to a woman, so he wasn't entirely displeased at the news, but he would have preferred to know her under more equal terms. Besides, he'd already felt awkward at times working with Nurse Kim now that she'd transformed. Working with a woman he was actually attracted to was going to be incredibly difficult. He grunts and shifts uncomfortably in his seat.

          • She asks if he has a problem with that. He backpedals. No, no, of course not.

    • --??

    • Dr Sarah Calver is in a waiting room, already in a patient gown, ready for her treatment. He asks Nurse Linda to go get him something, allowing them a private moment to talk.

      • "Surprise, looks like we can have that coffee after all." they both laugh. She would have liked to asked his opinion, but his superior is very aggressive, she wanted an immediate decision. She knows it can be complicated -- working together while attracted to each other. She also doesn't know how working together, or this change i'm going to go through, might affect whether he even wants to get to know her or not. But I just felt optimistic, thought everything would just sort of work out, you know? Now I'm nervously getting ahead of myself, aren't I?

        • Yes, just a little bit. Let's just see how things go, okay? He gently reaches out, and they end up grasping and holding hands, sharing a moment. They quickly let go as the nurse comes back into the room.

        • He asks mandatory questions about her menstrual cycle. Then explains that they're going to put her to sleep, and when she wakes up, the procedure will be completed.

        • Then we get to see him monitor and admire her as she grows into a 7'6" tall superhuman version of herself. Before she wakes up, he hands off the out-take to Nurse Linda, making a lame excuse about needing to be elsewhere.

    • --??

    • The next day, Dr Gibbons arrives to the trainee group to find Dr Calver looking radiant and transformed, even sitting. (what is she wearing, standard issue grey fitness top and shorts which are painted on her - pic ) He spends a moment to explain why she's undergone the procedure, that they were in need of someone transformed with medical training, should the need for surgery arise. One of the other female trainees speaks up and asks if there is room for other volunteers. Sarah can't help but smirk that she jumped at the chance, as Dr Gibbons explains that she'll have to take that up with his commanding officer.

      • He then proceeds to try to give the lesson, while being unable to keep his eyes off Sarah.

      • When the class ends, everyone filters out and leaves except Sarah. He finally walks over to her.

      • She starts, "I have to admit, I was surprised when you were not there. When I woke up."

      • He repeats the lame excuse, "I had to be at an XYZ." Somehow he feels more guilty lying to her directly.

      • "The funny thing about military bases, is that they have posted schedules for just about everything, and there was no XYZ scheduled yesterday evening." His heart sank. "Which means, that was an excuse for you to deliberately be absent when I woke up. Thing is, I've thought it over, and all it means is that you were avoiding me. It doesn't tell me *why* you were avoiding me. Is this all too much for you, Chad?"

      • "I'd be lying if I didn't admit this is a lot to take in. While you were under, I was observing, and the longer it went on, the more I wondered what things between us would be like. I've watched others go through the process, and it changes them, in more ways than just their size. You're not even done changing, and you're life is going to be different now in ways we don't even understand. I feel like I'd be nothing more than a fleeting engagement, and that's not what I want to be.

      • "Who is getting ahead of themselves now? All I agreed to is a cup of coffee. Since our situation is so, unique, I will clarify that I agreed because I'm attracted to you, Chad Gibbons. So I expect that coffee to come with good conversation, and the exploration of something more. However, I'm not the type to get wrapped up in anything 'fleeting', as you put it. So what do you think? Are we going to take a step, or should I keep it professional from here on out?"

      • He paused, looking her over, some part of himself finding her irresistible, another part of him dreading having to work with her if things didn't work out. "The coffee in the mess is no good, and you're not allowed off base. Is it too much for you to come by my house, so I can make you a proper espresso?"

      • "Espresso? And thought we were taking things slow. I would be delighted. Wednesday, 7am?"

      • "Uhm, in the morning? That's a bit early. I was thinking after my rounds today at 5."

      • "I would love to, but I simply can't. I have your training program all day, and athletics and observation for the XYZ program all evening. For the next couple weeks, they are running me non-stop. So Wednesday morning at 7 is all I have open."

      • "Well, then we'll make that work. Can I write down my house address for you?"

      • "No need. Military base, remember, you're in the directory." With that she stood, and he got his first look at her 7' tall post transformation form. He'd seen more than a dozen transformed women already, all of which were now in states further progressed than she was. However, nothing had been like seeing her standing in front of him. She wasn't nearly as fit as the soldiers who'd been through the program, instead she looked like a woman. And every curve, every shape that he'd been attracted to suddenly seemed amplified. He couldn't help his eyes giving her a once over from top to bottom.

      • Without warning, she reached out for an mbrace, and he found himself gently surrounded by her. He let his hands fall on her back, as his face landed high on her chest. Like when they held hands, what started out casual turned into something deeper, as they melted into each other. He couldn't put his finger on what it was about her, but there was something deeply connecting them.

      • After several seconds went by of him not wanting to move, he started to become more aware of the shape of her body against him. That made him self conscious, and he decided that better be enough for now. As he peeled away, she gently kissed his forehead, and he had the distinct feeling she would have held him there as long as he wanted.

      • Then, in a few broad steps, she was across the room, only briefly looking back just before she left through the door.

    • Arnold and Kim 8'2" - Kim is sitting on Arnold's living room couch, just her legs stretching across it's entirety. She's breaking lots of news - they've approved her medical school application, but she has to defer it until their research is made public. In the meantime, they want her to go back to nursing full time. Only that means her XYZ program sessions have to move to the evening, so between showing up to work at 8am and athletics until 10pm, she doesn't know when they are going to see each other.

      • "That's alright, the program study is only another six weeks. I'm sure we can survive until then." Arnold comfortably plopped himself into her lap, wrapping an arm around her, as he'd now become accustomed to doing. Not only was it a practical way for them to share the couch, but with her dramatically increased size it left them nearly eye-to-eye.

      • "Speak for yourself! I need to see you more than just on weekends." In the several weeks of their relationship, she wanted to be with him more and more. It wasn't a physical thing for her, but instead about the comfort and emotional bond she felt being around him. Still, she wasn't above praying on his more physical desires to get what she wanted.

      • "You know, if I didn't know any better, I'd think you were using me for my body." It was a little joke that's sprung up between them, born out of the irony that to him, her body had practically become a place of worship, and she knew it. At that very moment, feeling her body against his was giving him an irresistible urge to touch her. He ran a hand up her side, feeling the subtle ridges of muscle that had formed since her transformation. Then he caressed it over her firm breast. What looked proportionally modest on her now more than 8' frame felt like anything but, as she hadn't just become taller, she was now about 30% larger in every dimension.

      • "Ohh, is that what's happening, mister gropey hands?"

      • ??????

        • he worships her body, and she lets him

        • he can't keep his hands off her, even when she's just casually sitting with him, he wants to be touching or suckling on her, which she encourages, by opening her top, and letting him while she talks to him. She even encourages him with a little "mmm, that feels good. i like when you do that", interspersed with otherwise normal conversation. / She makes him eat her out before she gives him any treats, because he just falls asleep after.
