Daisy opened the door to find Elina already had company. A human woman was leaning over the desk, examining a small box of samples. The stranger's hair was cut short, a bright blonde that seemed like she used a lot of chemicals to maintain it. Maybe it was a particular mutagen? Daisy shook the thoughts out of her head, refocusing on the conversation in progress.
"But that doesn't explain what happened," Elina was saying. "It was so strange. I was there, I saw the whole thing, and yet I can't understand it."
The woman leaned back against the desk, arms crossed over her chest. "Then you need to study it. Make a hypothesis, test it. If you're wrong, you're wrong, but at least then you know what not to do."
Elina sighed softly, rubbing at her temples. "I know what you're saying, but how am I supposed to test this?"
The other woman spotted Daisy at the door. "Ah! Speak of the mouse." She waved towards Daisy. "Come in, don't be shy. Are you pregnant?"
Daisy hesitated in surprise, then laughed. "I guess my belly gives me away?" She was pretty sure it didn't work that quickly in the world she came from, but she already sported a rounded front from her impending event. "Um, sorry, if this gets in the way of anything. I wasn't planning on it."
"That's okay!" Elina grinned and patted her shoulder as she walked by. "It's actually kind of interesting. I need to see what's changed, changing, and will continue to change. Thank you for coming without being called." She patted Daisy's arm. "I hope you're not sick? Or maybe something else."
The other woman smirked. "If it's not sickness, I bet I know why she came here."
Daisy glanced between the two. "I figured I really should stop by, let you know what happened, and give you a chance to do your thing. Felt like I was doing a bad job of being a test subject if I didn't do that much, right?" She laughed nervously. "Who's your guest?"
"Oh, right. This is Saresan. She's a professor of physics here, as well as my girlfriend," Elina said.
Daisy paused, stunned. "Oh! That's nice." She looked between the two of them. "I really didn't see this coming, but I should have, looking back. Nice to meet you, Miss Saresan. I'm Daisy."
"I know who you are." Saresan smirked at her. "Elina's been talking about you, and the milk she's getting for her research." The smirk turned into an amused look. "She's very excited about it, so thank you."
"Oh. No problem." Daisy sank onto a seat, hearing it squeak under her bulk. "Dang, I've gotten heavier. Yay for motherhood I guess."
"It's good for you, and for me," Elina said with a laugh. "As an expecting mother, your milk supply will undoubtedly grow, I think. It's difficult to know with absolute certainty, you being the first one measured." She gestured at Daisy, nodding to Saresan. "You want to try milking the mouse?"
Saresan smirked and looked Daisy over. "Do you mind?" she asked. "I'll admit, I am curious."
"Go ahead!" Daisy blushed as she pulled off her shirt, then upper armor, revealing her pregnancy-bloated body and swollen breasts. "It's, uh, what I'm being paid for." She took a slow breath. "I imagine Elina told you, and the sign hovering there is another warning, but I don't suggest drinking unless you want to change, and if you do want to change, tell me what you're hoping for ahead of time."
Elina was already working on setting up the pumps. "I am curious what the effect of pregnancy has on your milk. It's so exciting! This is definitely going to be an amazing paper once we figure out what changes."
Saresan smiled as she helped prepare the equipment, leaning over Daisy as she positioned her so that they could hook the suction device onto her nipples.
"Are these a pain?" She gestured at the swollen orbs.
Daisy pinked with a sudden laugh. "N-no. They don't hurt at all." She poked one of them. "A little, uh, stiff? Like they're—" She hissed and shuddered as the machine came to life, draining her with persistent skill that no manual pumping could match. "Damn! Hell, give a warning." She didn't move, allowing the machine to chug away as a large jar rapidly filled, but her breasts didn't show any signs of diminishing.
Saresan watched with wide eyes. "Wow, that is a lot." She watched the milk flowing out of the mouse's swollen teats. "No wonder it makes so much cheese. Elina says it tastes really good, too."
Daisy started with a blink. "Cheese?! When did you start making cheese out of it?" She paused. "How does it taste? That's maybe an odd question, but I kinda want to know what's being made out of me."
Saresan laughed. "It was delicious. A bit earthy, rich. You should try some." She grinned at Daisy, then leaned close to her, looking directly into her eyes. "Are you feeling okay?"

"I'm, uh, fine." She glanced away from Saresan, unable to stay looking at her eyes. "This is kinda nice, like a pressure I had just been used to is going down."
Saresan nodded, then leaned in until she was nuzzling against the side of Daisy's face, kissing it gently. "You know what?" she whispered.
Daisy was too shocked to respond, but she did lean into the touch, letting the woman do as she wished. "What?" She reminded herself what world she was in, and its rules. Touching, when not forced, was just not that unusual. Still, her heartbeat quickened.
"I think I want more than cheese from you." She cupped one of Daisy's breasts and squeezed, feeling the warm milk spray into the machine.
Daisy shuddered, but didn't pull away. "I don't mind, but are you sure? This can be really serious stuff."
"I'm sure," Saresan said.
Daisy looked towards Elina instead. "I don't want to transform your girlfriend without you being involved. You're basically my, um, boss. Please give me a firm order one way or the other."
Elina smiled warmly at them both, then nodded. "Go ahead. Do it." She drew closer, grabbing the bottle to remove it from the pump. "Saresan is curious about the taste."
Daisy flicked an ear back. "Fresh though? I'm a big tingling pot of mutagens. What do you want to, uh, turn into? Or do you want to be the same, maybe some minor change? Please tell me before you go trying it."
Saresan looked over at Elina, then shrugged. "You can change into whatever you like. Just not a man. Or a monster. That's too weird."
Elina nodded in agreement.
Daisy threw up a hand. "You're giving me too much power!" She stuck out her tongue. "I'd feel bad making you two not match. Elina, do you want to kiss an animal person instead of another human?"
Elina smirked and made a see-saw motion with a hand. "Sort of? Half of one, three-quarters of the other? I don't care all that much. I'm a bit curious myself."
Daisy looked ready to lodge more complaints when she felt Saresan go in for a proper taste, popping off the cup from one teat and replacing it with her lips. The effect was instantaneous. Saresan let out a soft sigh followed by a contented moan, her eyes rolling into the back of her head as she drank the thick milk.
Elina watched in quiet fascination as Saresan's body started to change.
Daisy squeaked, thinking quickly of something for Saresan to turn into, something soft and cute like a sheep or a dog, but not entirely. It only took a few seconds before she felt her heart rate slow down, her mind clearing. She nodded firmly. "I got it!"
Saresan's hair gained a bit of shimmer in the light as it grew out an inch, gaining a more golden look, as if it was meant to be that color, but it was becoming curlier by the moment as it sprouted all over her as she drank more. Daisy was pleased that her transformation plan went without a hitch, but her heart stopped once more when she saw Saresan's ears change.
"Uh... oh..." Daisy squeaked in worry as Saresan's ears rounded into perfect little circles that slid up along her head, looking too much like a bear, then the golden fur spread to cover them. "Oh no."
"Ahem." Elina chuckled behind her hand. "That wasn't what I expected."
Saresan pulled back with a huff of breath, milk dripping down her lips and chin, chest now covered in the soft, golden locks that had covered most of her. She was a combination of golden sheep and bear, giving her an odd look. Her face, still human-like, was also covered in the soft fur.
Daisy let out a nervous laugh, holding up her arms and wiggling her fingers. "I warned you ahead of time, don't be mad at me. If it helps, I think you're adorable." She shivered as the milk kept pulling at the other breast.
Elina rose to work the machine, changing what jar it was emptying to, before turning back around. "Oh, don't worry, I think she's cute. I'll just call her my cuddly little sheep-bear." She hugged Saresan from behind.
Saresan blinked blearily, looking down at herself. "Sheep-bear..." she murmured. "I..."
"It's okay, hon," Elina said. "It's not permanent, right?"
Daisy inclined her head. "If she sips again and you give me a new thing to turn her into, we could do that? Now, please tell me, can people be hurt if they do too many mutagens in a short time?" She tensed as the milking cup was placed onto her, one to either to drain her.
Elina laughed. "Not that I know of. No evidence of it, anyway. The changes are safe, as far as we know, but we don't have much data on long term use."
Daisy crossed her arms under her occupied bosom. "You're not going to use your girlfriend as a test for that, I hope? As I said, you do look cute. Enjoy the new form." She flicked an ear back at Saresan's expression of surprise. "Sorry if I offended you."
"It's okay," Saresan murmured, running her hands over herself, feeling the new sensations. "I'm soft." She stood up straight and looked down her front and back, turning as she did so. "All over, and dang you made me fluffy." She ran a hand through her thick locks. "Is it wrong I just want to pet me? All over."
Elina laughed. "Oh no! Don't say things like that! It makes my mind go bad places."
Saresan grinned. "That sounds like a good thing to me. But you're on the clock." She hiked a newly clawed thumb at Daisy. "And we have this guest here."
Daisy let out a little sigh, ears twitching to relax as she started to feel less nervous. "I won't be offended if you kick me out."
"That isn't happening." Elina pressed a button, the machine slowing its rumbles to a stop. "Until at least we get you unplugged. You gave quite a batch today. Two, technically. We have to see if this continues to ramp up." She held up one of the jars. "You're gonna give milk farmers a run for their coin at this rate." She looked Saresan over once more. "But first, I need to collect some hair and nail samples from Saresan, see how that works."
