She took a deep breath as she approached the plane's side-door; her legs' trembling betraying her, otherwise, confident smirk. 'Easy breathing, just remember the little instructional video, you can do this~!' Lucy thought to herself. Not surprisingly, looking out the side of a plane in motion was a /lot/ different from the vertical wind-tunnel, to her. Also important to note that, due to the size-restrictions of the wind-tunnel, this was to be the actual first test of the Para'You'te.
It was this new form of a parachute (there was no finished name yet, but Lucy enjoyed her little pun enough to refer to it as a working name) designed to reduce manufacturing costs by nearly triple in the next decade! As far as the prototype went, it was still a little crude for what the science was to soon support, in the future. Earlier that day, Lucy underwent a small surgery to inject a series of nanobots throughout her body, distributing themselves as programmed automatically, in preparation. Eventually, micro-sized accelerometers and gyroscopes would be implemented to automatically detect if someone was falling at a dangerous-enough speed to warrant the nanobots being deployed. She, as being their first test, was simply outfitted (during the prior surgery) with a simple ripcord, attached to her navel. Lucy fiddled with it, wanting to make sure it wouldn't catch on anything on her way out.
'So count to 10, then pull!?' She yelled to be heard over the roar of the propeller-motors.
Receiving a thumbs-up and a nod from one of the engineers on board, Lucy nodded back and took her position. A blaring chime echoed through the hull, announcing that the time to drop was now; if she wanted to land at the intended landing-zone. She steeled herself, adjusted her goggles, and dove out.
'One...' Her mind raced to make sure she would count properly. Count too slow and, obviously, she may not catch enough drag on the way down and her landing...well, it could hurt a bit.
'Two...' But if she counted too fast, the surrounding air-pressure at her altitude may be so thin that her body may not ever stop...deploying the ParaYoute.
'Four...' Wait...crap! Did she skip a number? Lucy shook her head, trying to remember on what number she was on. The small speck of the landing-zone finally came into view.
'U-Um, six?...' She had been in freefall before, but the overall openness of having just the clothes on her back and the goggles; left Lucy feeling a little more than surreal about the whole experience.
'Seven...' She pushed her hand forward, not wanting to dip or pitch her body too far in any direction. Her fingers found the end of the ripcord, a few inches away from her navel.
'Eight...' Grip tightening around the string.
'Nine...' Lucy took one last deep breath to gather herself together before...
'Ten!' She yelled across the heavens she was plummeting through before pulling the cord with all her strength away from her. With a VVWIPP~!, it pulled smoothly out to extend almost two feet from her torso; leaving her now to wait.
She fell for what felt like an hour, though was only 5 or so more seconds before she felt a sudden tingling sensation in her stomach. Lucy clenched her teeth in an attempt to hold herself back from giggling, the spreading warmth throughout her body beginning to tickle the falling-girl. At the point where this warmth seemed to gather the most, a faint hissing sound soon rang out from underneath her skin. With a slight creak in her skin, Lucy's belly was beginning to swell outwards!
The developers had told her that it would serve to be as sudden and immediately-responsive as a normal parachute would be; but to her own thoughts and sensations, the whole experience could have lasted forever. As simply as a balloon being filled on an airtank, her skin stretched and smoothed out; a harmless gas being emitted from the nanobots that simultaneously strengthened her skin to stretch so. With two individual 'fwoomps', Lucy's view became only slightly obscured by two cream-colored orbs; now stretching her top to its limits. 'Hmm...may be best to keep this little 'feature' out of the training pamphlet =//u//= ' she thought.
Her descent had been slowing exponentially since the nanobot's deployment; feeling almost as if time was slowing down, around her. Lucy bit her lip while suppressing a moan, as her bloating middle pushed her arms and legs to their sides; beginning to release the gas filling her, into her arms and legs to widen them across her own curvature. Her head became nestled in what would have been her shoulders, back, and of course, her chest; each having swelled up to provide ample cushions for her.
Her arms and legs had widened and sank into her ever-growing tummy enough to render her appearing more like an overblown parade-float than a woman; her hands and feet flapping as best she could to feel herself reach the pinnacle of her expansion. The gas found no where else to spread around in her body, plumping her cheeks up enough to purse her lips out quite a bit. By now, Lucy was cozily humming to herself; drifting along the breezes gently to the landing zone. She felt positively enormous, at least 12-feet in diameter~!
Eventually, she would touch down at the landing zone, be rolled to a safe-and-private location, and gently deflated of her filling within the hour. But her thoughts were not focused on that. For now, Lucy's thoughts lay on watching the ever-receding horizon of the Earth; amazed by its serenity. Closing her eyes, she was left to continue drifting down as the balloon she currently was, humming her favourite tune to herself.
