It was testing day in the DSO facility, and while Nicole had generally been allowed to avoid being used as a Guinea pig, her luck had evidently ended. She sat on the moving cart, her main transportation after changing into the stretchy mermaid tail thing. It felt like an extravagant halloween or cosplay costume... maybe even those professional mermaid costume pieces, but it didn't feel anomalous in any way. It hadn't connected with her skin, or made her sprout gills, or secrete lube or anything so she was immediately suspicious. If she was testing the rebreather, why did she have to wear this stupid tail anyway? Were the two pieces somehow anomalous when paired?

Doubtful.

Dr Kyle, like his usual self, was not inclined to answer questions, and shut down anything she would have asked before she even had the chance to ask it. He refused to respond to "stupid questions" from people he deemed beneath him, and Nicole was definitely on that list... as were most people. She just frowned and waited for this whole thing to be over with.
