Ellana's Cultural Studies on Humanity Chapter 29:- On Human Office Work

[Stormtrooper1990]

Following on from my successful investigation of the Tokyo Stock Exchange and eating copious amounts of sushi, I found myself on a plane to the Chinese capital, Beijing. I was heading into the unknown with my nemeses only feet away from me disguised poorly as Air China stewardess, doing a passable job despite their ill fitting uniforms. I myself knew that I had to acquire a new form as soon as possible, the MiB would have found the body of Cheung Mén Yéo in the four hours since I departed. Using those four hours in-between watching the agents struggle and ordering them around, I searched Cheung's memories. Learning that she was an accountant in Beijing. It was then I decided to make this my next port of call. But first things first, the plane was coming into land and I needed a new face if were to slip past L&M...


Dr Ellana Xenoanthropological Society


Friday 5th September 2024 Air China Flight AC2975 17:30pm


"Attention all passengers. We are 30 minutes from Beijing." Came the voice of Agent L over the intercom as Ellana looked at the pair still straining against their too small outfits. It had been fun to boss her enemies around, having M go back and forth from the galley fetching her 5 pots of different ice cream flavours, watching her wince in pain. But then a startling realisation hit her. The MiB would have found the real Cheung Mén Yéo back in the bathroom and soon they will communicate that to the agents. They will grab me as soon as the plane lands. I need a new form and a change of clothes. Across the aisle from her was a pretty young chinese girl, with heart shaped features high cheekbones and slanted brown eyes. Framed by a curtain of jet black hair under her red street cap, a Chinese dragon stitched on the front, sunglasses perched on top. Ellana glanced appraising her clothes; she was wearing a red satin bomber jacket with Chinese dragons printed on the front and back, under which was a white low cut tank top, black cargo pants with red converse sneakers. The outfit snug on her petite attractive form. Gracing her neck was a curious necklace shaped like strange symbols and her ears pierced with studs. Yes she will do nicely for a quick disguise. I like her outfit, now I need to get her alone and take it. Suddenly the girl rose from her seat walking to the back of the plane. Getting up quickly Ellana followed the girl as she came to the airplane toilet. Letting the girl open the door she advanced rapidly behind her, clamping a hand over mouth to muffle her cries before grasping her throat with the other. Dragging her inside, Ellana pinched the vulnerable points of the young woman's throat the girl letting out a muffled squeak as she slumped into unconsciousness. Ellana quickly closed the door, snapping the lock sign to "occupied" as she sat the girl's body on the bowl.


Quickly shedding Cheung's suit and clothing, Ellana straddled the girl in the cramped toilet planting a passionate kiss on her young lips stripping off her hat, then slipping off her jacket from her shoulders. "Zhou Xīn Yén, 21, Social Media Influencer. She is really into dragons and her tiktok handle is Dragon_Girl2013. Zhou runs a blog called From Behind the Bamboo Wall. And was returning from a meeting in Tokyo with her sponsors. In reality her "sponsors" are the CIA and she spies for them, while subverting the youth of China by putting hidden messages in her videos. It's not working." Ellana said as she removed Zhou's necklace and studs putting them on before holding up the girl's arms, pulling her tank top over her head. Ellana admired Zhou's small but cute A-cup breasts with dark brown perky areolas as she pulled on the tank top before unlacing her sneakers. Unfastening the half naked girl's cargo pants, Ellana pulled them off from around her slender hips down her long legs then whipped off her solid red silk g-string thong with a rearing dragon embroidered on the gusset, exposing a small clitoris crowned with a thick trimmed triangle of black pubic fuzz. Ellana pulled on the colourful underwear then dressed in the rest of Zhou's outfit as she took in the Chinese girls alluring naked form. When she was finished she tore up Cheung's blouse binding and gagged the young girl. With Zhou secured, Ellana left the toilet door sliding it shut behind her. "Excuse me, miss. We are just coming into land in a few moments. Please take your seat." Ellana turned to see L playing her part well directing her to the passenger section. She nodded smiling as she found her way back to her seat.


17:50pm


L sighed as she watched the pretty Chinese girl in the red bomber jacket take her seat. She was definitely starting to feel the strain as her stolen uniform was doing it's best to constrict her. As M walked next to her, she could tell her younger partner was not enjoying being a stewardess. "I have it had up to here with these god damn passengers! First that grab ass prick in seat 18G, I had to stop myself from punching him in the throat. And to top it all off, that chinese woman in seat 21F seems to like ice cream, a lot. I mean who eats that much ice cream?" L rolled her eyes at her partner's griping. "Are you done M? Because this plane is about to land in 10 minutes and Ellana's on this flight. As soon as we land we will grab her." Suddenly she felt her communicator chime from skirt pocket. Taking it she was just about to answer it when Cheng Liu, the hard ass head flight attendant came into the galley. "Hey are those your phones!? Hand them over now before you interfere with the plane!" She held out her hand as the two agents reluctantly handed over their communicators. Cheng smiled smugly. "You will get them back after the flight." She said switching them off before walking past them depositing them in a cupboard. M lent into L's ear. "Do you think that was P? Or N maybe?" L shrugged in reply. "Well we will find out soon enough." Turning around Cheng fixed them both with a stern look. "Enough slacking get back to work! Or it's going on your performance review!" Sighing the agents split up going to their assigned positions ready for landing.


18:01pm Beijing Daxing International Airport


Feeling the plane touch down and taxi into the arrivals terminal, Ellana unbelted her seatbelt and retrieved Zhou's rucksack from the over head luggage compartment. Looping it around her shoulders she mingled with the other passengers as the doors to the plane opened. She grinned widely as she passed Agents L&M who were walking past back into the galley. As she filed down the steps, Ellana noted the presence of a large black van parked near a hangar with three black suited men and women approaching the plane. Acting naturally she calmly walked over with the other passengers to the airport shuttle bus. Hopping on it took just five minutes to reach the terminal. I don't really need Zhou's luggage, I can just head to the front of the airport and catch a cab. Picking up the pace she jogged through the airport coming out to the front entrance, as soon as she reached the nearest taxi Ellana jumped in. "Yes? Where would like to go, miss?" Asked the friendly male cab driver. Slamming the passenger door shut, Ellana smiled. "Zhen Liu Accounting Ltd. Do you know where that is?" The man nodded. "Of course I do, miss. Straight in downtown, buckle up." Leaning back into her seat, she buckled on her seatbelt laughing as the taxi pulled away. As soon as I get there I need a new face and more appropriate clothes. I doubt they will let me in like this.

15 minutes earlier

As the agents retrieved their communicators from the planes galley, they walked through the line of departing passengers noticing Agent G and her team stop at the foot of the plane steps. Flicking on her communicator, L blinked as she noticed at least a dozen messages from P. Putting the communicator to her ear she dialled the number as she and M walked down the steps falling in besides Agent G. "Where the hell were you two? You haven't been answering your communicators and have gone dark on me? What gives?" L sighed as she gave Paddy the brief. "We replaced a couple of stewardesses and had to switch off our Comms. We have tracked Ellana to Beijing. We have just linked up with G's team and we are at the airport now." P sighed. "Beijing!? Well it's a good thing you are in China because we found Ellana's latest victim. N ran her biometrics and she's an accountant from Beijing, a Ms Cheung Mén Yéo works for Zhen Liu Accounting Ltd. Sending over the details now. But we are about an hour out so your on your own for now." As he hung up, L held out her communicator. M groaned when she saw the picture. "Sonofabitch! That's the ice cream lady from seat 21F. I served her ice cream like five damn times! And the complementary champagne." L patted her on the back. "Relax rookie, now we know what she looks like. As soon as she walks down those steps, we've got her!"


Five minutes passed and no Ellana, the agents were getting restless as the last of the passengers filed down the stairs on top of that they had to endure the sniggering of Agent G and her team as they looked at their way too tight constricting uniforms. She sighed as two ground crew walked up the steps onto the plane. To her left G's sniggering to the rest of her team started to grate. "Alright! If you have something to say then spit it out, G!" L snarled as M glared at the British agent. The woman held her arms up in mock surrender. "I was just thinking. Who did you steal that get up off? A couple of shorties." She and her team guffawed as L started to craft a retort but before she could open her mouth, the group heard a woman's scream come from the plane. Reacting quickly L quickly darted up the plane steps with M right behind. She finally heard the buttons on her stolen jacket go, popping off as M's skirt ripped. Reaching the back of the plane the agents came across a male ground crew cradling his female colleague who had passed out, his eyes staring blankly in front of him. There sat on the airplane toilet was the unconscious naked body of a bound young Chinese girl, small breasts and vagina completely exposed to the world, a discarded torn suit and underwear at her feet. L roared with frustration as M stomped her foot. "God damn it! I spoke to "her" as was leaving the toilet! And she walked right past us off the plane! Come on rookie, she as to be still in the terminal!" M nodded furiously as they kicked off their high heels running past G and her team who were running onto the plane, without saying a word.


Departure Terminal 18 20pm


As soon as they ran into the departure terminal L glanced down at her ruined jacket then to M's torn skirt and jacket. "We need a change of clothes and fast. I'am not running around Beijing after her without breathing freely." M pinched the bridge of her nose sighing. "Why didn't we ask G's team for some new suits?" L turned to face her. "That's an excellent idea rookie! Why didn't you mention anything before, mhm?" She asked sardonically throwing out her arms as they were starting to draw stares and sniggers from the passing throngs. It was then L noticed two young women walk towards a women's bathroom. "What about them rookie, they look to be our size?" M turned to appraise them as L gestured with her head. They were attractive girls, tourists by the look of them. One was a stunning redheaded girl with rounded features, slender cheekbones and soft pale blue eyes framed by a curtain of auburn hair. She was dressed in a solid pink tank top, over which was a cropped stone washed jacket with matching jeans shorts and pink bikes. While her partner was a pretty square jawed blonde hair tied back into a ponytail, with bright hazel eyes. She was wearing a black t-shirt with "New York" printed in white, skinny black jeans with black converse trainers. M shook her head. "Innocent tourists? Really, boss?" L let out a long tired sigh as they followed the girls into the toilet. "I don't like it either M. But whatever we do is necessary to catch Ellana. Besides we need new clothes and N could give us a fix on Ellana's new position at any time. Putting it simply we are in a hurry. It is what it is." M just shrugged in reply. "Yeah, I suppose you're right. Still..." The two agents slipped into the bathroom following the girls.


They found the two tourists chatting, washing their hands with their backs to them. L clapped her hands together flashing them both a sympathetic smile. "I'am sorry ladies but we need you to strip off those clothes and hand them over. National security matter." The two women turned started to snigger as they saw the agents in their torn uniforms. M reached into her pocket and pulled out nothing but air. "Not again! I thought I picked it up!" L sighed rubbing her forehead. "Why do I even bother?" She said as the girls laughter started to get louder, with one of them muttering something that sounded Dutch. Next the two agents put their hands into their jackets, drawing empty hands. "God damn it! The stun guns too?! You blithering idiot!" The two girls were now catatonic with laughter, holding onto each other. L advanced on the blonde. "Shut up!" She punched the girl square in the gut, knocking the laughter out of her lungs before finishing her with a chop to the neck. As her friend crumpled to the bathroom floor unconscious, the red head held up her hands, not laughing anymore. "Please, no were sor-ugh!!" M cut off her pleading with a right cross laying her out cold, the girl letting out a pained yelp before hitting the floor. Then L cuffed the blonde agent upside her head. "This is the last time I let you hold the neuralyser, M. And when we get back to headquarters, we are going to have a serious talk about what i let you hold onto, clear?" She said through gritted teeth as she dragged the blonde tourist by her ankles into a waiting cubicle while M took the redhead into the one next door. There they stripped the tourists in silence.



"I'am really sorry about this, Ms Aletta Van Dijk but needs must." L said as she pulled on the blonde's t-shirt glancing at the unconscious bruised scantily clad girl, wearing only her lace trim multicoloured camisole and matching bikini shorts. Perched on the toilet bowl. Bound and gagged with the remains of the Air China uniform. Glancing over to the mirror she sighed. These clothes are way too young for me. But it's good to be out of that damn uniform, besides the jeans are quite snug and trainers are just right. Closing the cubicle door, she waited for M to emerge from her cubicle. "Well Ms Famke Barnhardt there is a shade bigger then me. These shorts are a bit loose." The blonde agent as she jerked her thumb over to the bound and gagged redhead slumped on the toilet seat, wearing only her pink low cut bra and matching g-string thong. A red bruise on her cheek marring her pretty features. "Well loose is better then tight. Come on let's go, Ellana has enough of a head start." She said as M closed the door on the pretty redhead.


"Wait shouldn't we go back and get our neuralysers, boss?" M said as they run back into the terminal but before L could answer her communicator buzzed. Taking it out of her jeans pocket, she flicked it open. "Guys! I got a hit on the last victims phone. She's heading towards Zhen Liu Accounting, downtown Beijing. But be careful it's rush hour." Came the voice of young agent N. "Alright thanks for the heads up, probie." She said as the agents ran for the exit, L quickly sliding her device back into her pocket. Seeing a taxi pull up the agents ran towards it with L pulling out the protesting driver before they dived in and pulled away. "Hang on. Why is it you are always driving boss? I could get us their much faster." L replied without taking her eyes off the road. "Because I have seen you drive, rookie. No comment. Besides, as you may have noticed this cab unlike our sedan doesn't have flight capability so it's not like we could get there any faster. No matter who drove." M let out a frustrated sigh as she looked out at the rush hour traffic.


Zhen Liu Accounting Parking Lot 18:35pm


Despite the rush hour traffic, Ellana had made good time as the taxi parked across the street from the offices of Zhen Liu Accounting. After paying the driver a substantial fare she crossed the street and into the underground parking lot. Right I need to acquire a suitable form, with the appropriate ID. Finding the space completely deserted, save for a few cars Ellana scanned them for a suitable match. Then as if summoned Ellana noticed a particularly young chinese girl open her car door in front of her. Crouching low behind the female Ellana appraised the youth as she emerged from her vehicle. She was a perfect example of a pretty far easterner, with tanned diamond features, sharp cheekbones almond shaped slanted brown eyes. Her light brown hair bound with a pair of sticks. Her petite turn figure covered by a light beige jacket with a matching pencil, tight white blouse cinched at the throat with a fed ribbon tie and nude coloured heels. Your perfect my dear. Now to relieve you of that suit. Silently she stalked the girl as she bent to retrieve her handbag from the passenger seat.


Liu Cahong sighed as bent to pick her handbag from the passenger seat. Another day, another night shift stuck at this office. Seriously, I think my boss has it in for me. Oh how I long to leave this city behind and see the world. Looping the handbag over her shoulder Liu was about to close her car door when she felt a slender hand clamp around her mouth, muffling her cry of panic followed by another grasping her throat. "Hello there, dear. Allow me to take your shift." A girl's voice hissed in her as Liu felt a tight pinch on either side of her throat, she let out a muffled squeak of arousal slumping unconscious in her attackers grip. Her final sensation as her consciousness faded was being bundled onto her front seat.


Slamming the car door behind her, Ellana straddled the unconscious girl on the front seats pulling off Zhou's clothes before she assumed the girls form with a kiss loosening her tie then slipping off her jacket. "Liu Cahong, 19, Office Junior, Zhen Liu Accounting Ltd. She really hates her job and is thinking about switching her careers to be a Air China stewardess, that way she can get to see the world to experience western culture." Ellana said as she adopted Liu's hairstyle before slipping off her heels, then unbuttoned her blouse revealing B-cup breasts covered by a black silk baby doll. Rolling the girl onto her side Ellana unzipped the skirt from the rear, peeling the garment from around her hips down her long tanned legs, then unlaced her matching string thong protecting a small womanhood decorated with a thick trimmed triangle of chestnut brown pubic hair and pert plum shaped buttocks. After pulling on the undergarment, Ellana stripped off Liu's blouse off her half naked body before flicking up her arms pulling up her baby doll, admiring her cute breasts with puffy light pink areolas. Once she had finished dressing in the girls suit, pulling on the jacket despite the cramped conditions, Ellana opened the driver's side door picking up the naked body of Liu Cahong under the shoulders. Popping open the girls trunk Ellana dragged her over to the rear, tipping her into the trunk binding and gagging her with duct tape. Slamming the door down on the petite naked form, Ellana locked up the car as she looped the stolen handbag over her shoulder walking towards the elevator bank. Using the girl's memories she pressed the 55th floor button and ascended.


Zhen Liu Accounting Ltd 19:15pm 55th floor


After 30 minutes of ferreting around reports and fetching hot beverages for ungrateful office workers, Ellana was bored stiff. So this girl is not an accountant at all but just an glorified servant. How disappointing. I need to grab a new face and quickly. Preferably that of an accountant. In Ellana's experience the best place to acquire a new look and some gossip is in the breakroom. Luckily, the memories of Liu Cahong knew exactly where the breakroom was on the 55th not far from the meeting room. When she arrived she found two females chatting over a water cooler. Both were suitable and as she made herself a coffee she quickly scanned them. The woman on the left was pretty with heart shaped features, sloping features and light brown slanted eyes framed by long raven coloured hair. She was attired in a navy blue pantsuit, tight black silk blouse and matching pumps, her ears adorned with dangling looped earrings and neck graced by a simple chain necklace. While her friend, an equally attractive woman with short brown hair was wearing a red dress with a black blazer and heels. Taking a sip of her coffee, Ellana listened in on their conversation.


"They have me working the books of of Coca-Cola Enterprises for their entire East Asia operations!" Wang Bao, dressed in her navy blue said as she took a sip of her cool water. Her friend and co-worker Ling Mei smiled. " A nice assignment. I sense a promotion to be in the offing." She took a gulp of her water as Wang nodded. "I sure hope so. All these night shifts I'am putting in better behaviour worth it. I mean I have been here for 5 years and still I'am an accountant." Ling patted Wang's shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry you're time will come." Wang then glanced at her watch doing a double take. "Look at the time! Well, I have to get back to it. Numbers don't crunch themselves." Bading farewell to Ling, Wang finished her water before leaving the breakroom. Unaware she had a shadow.


Quickly backtracking to her office, Wang approached a nearby broom cupboard her thoughts racing. I'am right though. Five years and no promotion straight out of the School for Economics. I should be mid level by now. Chen Huiying always says I do good work with that odd grin on her face. Maybe it's nothing. What?! The sensation of a hand clenching over her mouth interrupted her thoughts, muffling her surprised cry. "Don't worry, dear. Let me crunch those numbers for you instead " Hissed a young girls voice in her head as her attacked grasped her throat, dragging her into the broom cupboard behind them. Wang then felt the painful but oddly arousing feeling of her throat pinched. She let out an aroused muffled groan as she slumped unconscious, eyes rolling back into her head. Her final sensation was having her jacket stripped off before she was lowered to the floor.



Shedding the clothing she had taken from Liu Cahong, Ellana took the unconscious accountant into her arms kissing her hard on her lips as she assumed the woman's identity removing her jewellery then unlacing her shoes. "Wang Bao, 25, Accountant, Zhen Liu Accounting Ltd. She's looking for a promotion to Senior Accountant, hoping this job with Coca-cola will finally get her noticed and help her up the ladder. But she can't put her finger on why she hasn't been promoted after 5 years of service." Putting on Wang's jewellery, Ellana unbuttoned her silk blouse revealing C-cup breasts under a blue silk with black trim belly band. After unzipping Wang's trousers she worked them off her slender hips peeling them down her tanned legs followed by her matching crotchless g-string thong exposing a full clitoris crowned with a thick trimmed black haired strip and tight peach shaped buttocks. Slipping on the underwear, Ellana pulled the half naked girl into a seated position stripping off the blouse before unlacing the belly band, loosening from her body and letting the naked woman flop back onto the ground. Ellana took in the accountants buoyant well formed c-cups with dark brown full perky areolas, as she got dressed in the rest of Wang's clothes. Once she had fastened the suit jacket Ellana grabbed some duct tape from a nearby shelf, taping up the petite naked woman's wrists and ankles gagging her with a strip then she dragged Wang deeper into the cupboard. Using the woman's memories, Ellana swept from the cupboard making her way to her office.


Across the crowd from Zhen Liu Accounting Same Moment


After what seemed like forever, agents L & M had finally arrived outside the high rise building that housed the Zhen Liu offices, parking their stolen cab across the street. L looked up at the tall imposing structure. "Well, I don't think we can stroll in dressed like a couple of tourists. We need a change of clothes." Next to her, M nodded doing her best to hold up her stolen jeans shorts. "And no deliveries either. Although that wouldn't make much difference anyway. Not with our good looks, boss." M looked down to the underground parking entrance, watched by two security guards who were two busy laughing at something on their phones then guarding. "What about underground parking? We could get lucky there." L looked mildly impressed at her partner. "Mhm. Good eye rookie, let's stay low and slip past those guards." Crossing the road, the Agents easily crept past the distracted guards entering the dimly let parking lot.


As the agents got deeper into the lot, they came across a green open van with the legend "Lucky Tiger Cleaners Ltd" in both English and Chinese characters, with the image of a smiling tiger on the right hand side. There were two female chinese cleaners busy unloading their gear, one in the van while the other had her back to the agents. They were both dressed in green jumpsuits with the company logo on the back and left breast, black laced work boots and matching baseball caps. Underneath were white undershirts. L sighed the girls were nowhere near their size but they didn't have a choice. The girl in the van, who had pretty rounded features with long brown hair tied into a ponytail. While the one nearest had medium length sable coloured hair tied into pigtails, who was near a match to M but it would be tight. L turned to her partner. "Right, you take the pigtail girl. The ponytail is all mine. Let's do this quick and clean." M looked at the girls shaking her head. "Back from loose to tight. This just isn't my day." She said as she crept silently on the nearest cleaner.



"Come on Chang. We need to get this unloaded and start cleaning right away. We are running late as it is and that's coming out our pay." 23 year old Zhou Xiú said to her colleague and sometimes friend Chang Yù Mìn as she turned to unload some bleach. Chang herself looked up from ticking her inventory checklist, shaking her head. "Alright, I'am just running inventory. Give me a minute. Sheesh, still the hard ass, what the?! Her thoughts were interrupted by a hand pressing against her mouth, muffling her desperate cries to Zhou as an arm snaked around her neck dragging her around the side of the van. Chang started to panic as she felt the arm of her attacker cut off the blood supply to her brain. Her whimpering ending with a muffled rattle of breath as she slumped unconscious into M's arms.


Meanwhile Zhou shot around as heard the clatter of Chang's clipboard onto the tarmac. "Chang? Where are you?" She said as she picked up the clipboard. "Are you slacking off for a quick cigarette again? You know the boss doesn't like it when we come to the office smelling of smoke." When she heard no response, Zhou got concerned letting out a sigh of frustration. "Come on Chang. Stop fooling around...." Her voice trailed off as she saw Chang slumped unconscious in the arms of a blonde western tourist. As she opened her mouth to scream, Zhou felt an arm clamp around her neck like a vice cutting off her larynx followed by a hand on the back of her head, pressing her head forward. Zhou let out a strangled rattle as she fell unconscious into her attackers grip, her arms falling limply to her arms, clipboard clattering to the ground. As her eyes rolled rolled back into her head she felt herself being lowered into the ground. L nodded to her partner. "Quick, clean and quiet. Good work rookie. Let's get them out of their uniforms." The younger agent nodded as they dragged the unconscious cleaners to the vans open side door, tipping them inside before jumping in after them. L then pulled the door shut with a snap.



The two agents, now dressed in the uniforms of the two unfortunate cleaners hopped out of the van. "You know boss I think I now know what women days past felt like when they wore corsets. Because this is torture! The women sure are pretty but damn are they are so tiny. " M said as she regarded the now scantily clad unconscious cleaners taped up and gagged on the vans deck. Zhou wearing only her red silk string bra and matching string thong, while Chang was clad only in a black satin camisole and matching thong, their petite bodies on show. L rolled her eyes as she regarded her partner, who looked ridiculous the cuffs of her stolen jumpsuit barely covering her arms. She cuffed her upside of the head. "Are you done, rookie? Because we need to focus!" M nodded rubbing her head as she slid the back door shut, locking up the van. " So where to boss? This is a tall building, lots of places she could be." L sighed as she took a cleaning trolley rolling it towards the lift, with M trailing behind. "Thanks for stating the obvious, rookie." She said sardonically as they entered the elevator. "Press for 55th floor. According to the accountants bio, that's where she worked. There's a good chance that's where Ellana is going to be." M nodded as she pressed the button. "Still this jumpsuit needs to be let out a little. It's riding up my butt." M griped as the lift ascended which elicited a groan from the veteran agent.


The Office of Wang Bao, 55th floor. Zhen Liu Accounting Ltd 19:30pm


After fifteen minutes of doing some bookkeeping for the Coca Cola company in the office of Wang Bao, Ellana found the work fascinating but ultimately very dull stuff. But she did found out that the branch office was in Hong Kong. I know have always been good with numbers and maths but I never felt a passion for. Not like the sciences, sport and tinkering. But what should I do next? Well, I know where I'am heading next that's for sure. It was then a knock at the door came, shaking her from her thoughts. "Come in." Ellana told her visitor in Chinese. Such a pleasing and beautiful accent, much like the females themselves. I don't know who is better? Japanese or Chinese women? The door opened to reveal an attractive young Chinese female, around 30 earth years old if Ellana judged correctly. She had slightly squared features, slender cheekbones and slanted brown eyes, a mop of neat brown hair cut short in a pixie style. She was dressed in a crimson suit jacket, matching knee length skirt and red high heels underwhich was a white halter top. Along with gold dangling earrings. According to Wang's memories, this is her supervisor Senior Accountant Chen Huiying. Chen walked through the door closing it behind her.



"Are you finished with those annual quarterly budgets for Coca-Cola? I have a meeting with two of their reps in fifteen minutes and I need it right this second." Chen said as placed her hands on Ellana's desk. A meeting with two Coca-Cola reps? I think that sounds like a wonderful idea. So kind of her to show up like this. Grinning, Ellana walked around the desk leaning against it. "Oh I think I have a much better idea, Chen." She raised her right hand, sizing up the woman's right side of her neck." Chen turned to face her. "What the hell are you talking about? Have you done them or no-ugh!!" Ellana swiftly neck chopped the woman, striking her on the right side of her pretty neck. Chen let out a tiny squeak of pain as Ellana lowered her unconscious body into the chair opposite the desk. "Why don't I attend your meeting and you sit this one out, mmm?" She quipped as she stripped out of Wang's suit.



Straddling the unconscious Chen, Ellana kissed her fully on her lips as she assumed her form stripping off the woman's suit jacket. "Chen Huiying, 33, Senior Accountant and Supervisor, Zhen Liu Accounting Ltd. She recognises just how talented Wang is so she passes her work off as her own to keep Wang in her place and further her own ambitions. Chen as no real talent but this is how she made it up the ladder." Ellana said as she took out Chen's earrings putting them in before slipping off her heels. Unzipping the woman's skirt from the rear Ellana worked it free from her slender hips and down her tanned legs then whipped off her red lace tanga thong, admiring Chen's small clitoris with a thin trimmed triangle of brown pubic fuzz decorating it as she carefully rolled off the woman's stockings, one leg at a time. After pulling on the stolen underwear, Ellana untied the halter top from the rear loosening the garment from Chen's chest revealing B-cup breasts covered by a front fastening crimson lace plunge bra. Unclasping the bra, she peeled it from Chen's petite half naked body exposing her well rounded breasts with slightly pointed pink puffy areolas. Clasping on the bra Ellana then slipped on the rest of Chen's outfit. When she was fully dressed Ellana tore up Wang's blouse binding and gagging the slim naked woman with torn strips as she picked up Chen's body under her shoulders dragging her from the chair, around the desk to a waiting cabinet behind. Stashing Chen inside along with Wang's clothing, Ellana picked up quarterly budgets which had taken her just fifteen minutes to do as she swept from the room with a spring in her step. I look forward to this meeting, it should provide me with loads of data on human finance.


55th floor. Five Minutes Earlier


The agents stalked the corridors of the 55th floor all the while trying to maintain their cover as cleaners. As they came to a broom cupboard in a deserted corridor M sighed. "Maybe we got the wrong floor? There's still at least 60 floors to go." She said clearly not relishing the prospect of searching them all. L held her hand up. "Shh! Rookie! Do you hear that?" L leaned putting her ear to the door, she could have sworn she heard a woman moaning. There's someone in here! M had heard it too. "Yeah! Sounds female!" Opening the door the two agents bounded inside to find a taped up naked young Chinese woman with long dark black hair, lying on her side. "It's alright honey, we are here to help." M said as she put her hand to the struggling woman's tape gag. L held out her hand. "No rookie! Wait!" She warned but it was too late. As soon as M had ripped off her gag, the girl let out an almighty scream in Chinese. Reacting quickly, M punched the woman in the face silencing her. "Oh fuck!" She cried as L shook her head. "We better get out of here! The whole floor would have heard that." As the two agents ran from the cupboard, M could have sworn she saw a guard saw them leave a radio placed by his mouth. They both quickly rounded the corner.


"Boss! I think I saw a guard back there. He could have made us." M said nervously as the two agents neared a large meeting room. L let out a frustrated sigh as she rounded on her partner. "Do you think or do you know? Think carefully, Martha. Because I have had enough with you and your screw ups today!" She said through gritted teeth as M nodded gravely, blinking at her bosses anger. "I'am certain boss." L let out a frustrated roar as she heard a woman clearing her throat. She turned to see two young women emerge from the meeting room behind them. The two agents did a double take as they saw that the women bore a strange resemblance to them. The girl on the left even looked like a younger version of herself, except with dark brown hair. While her partner had M's messy pixie cut hair, but a darker blonde and was slightly older. The younger her wore a black pinstripe suit with a white blouse underneath and black strappy heels, whereas the older M wore a dark red suit jacket with matching skirt, flat shoes and a black silk blouse underneath. Both women had Coca Cola company pins in their lapels. "Excuse me? We heard screaming. Is everything okay?" L's clone asked in an American accent. The two agents glanced at each other before advancing on the women. "Nice suits." Was all L said as the agents punched both women in the face, sending them flying back into the meeting room in a heap unconscious with pained yelps. "Come on Rookie! Let's strip them and quickly. That guard might be around that corner any moment." L said as they dragged the women towards the table. "At last something that looks like it might fit me." M said grimly as she unzipped her stolen jumpsuit once they had draped the women across the table.


Within two minutes, the agents had stripped the two Coca Cola representatives putting on their suits. "Happy now, rookie?" L said as she picked up her bound scantily clad younger self under her shoulders, a 27 year old woman called Darryl Porter if her company ID was anything to go by, who was dressed only in her black lace strappy bra and matching thong. "Well, considering that not only where they dead ringers for us but were our size too? I say we lucked out." The young agent replied as opened the cabinet door, before picking up her scantily clad bound older self, who was dressed in a nude coloured lace bra and matching shorts and whose name was Lori Springer according to her ID. The two agents stashed the half naked bruised women, bound with the torn strips of the cleaners undershirts, standing them up right. After tossing in the discarded cleaners uniforms, they closed the cabinet door quickly taking their seats. Not a moment too soon as the guard came around the corner, looking into the meeting room. He appeared satisfied but harried as he rushed around the corner, speaking in his radio. It was then an attractive middle aged Chinese women wearing a crimson suit entered the room. For a second L thought she recognition in her eyes as she took a seat opposite them, but put it down to a trick of the low lighting. Then the agents looked at each other not sure how to start.


55th floor Meeting Room 20:00pm



Well, well, well. Fancy meeting them here. I thought the scream was their doing, probably from the women they took those suits from. Thanks to them, they have ruined everything. But that doesn't mean I can't have a little fun with them first. Ellana grinned as M glanced at a small portfolio flicking through it before looking up, clearing her throat. "So...er...those quarterly budget whatevers we asked you to do...you know those reports. Did you finish them?" Next to her, L nudged her in the ribs causing the younger agent to wince. Ellana smiled at her discomfort. She's actually pretty cute when she's flustered. I wonder if V finds it endearing? Then from the cabinet behind the agents came thumping and muffled moaning. The duo looked around awkwardly doing their best to look natural but failing badly, it took all of Ellana's self control not to laugh merely shaking her head. Still the same amateurs I see. Forgetting the one basic rule; Don't stay in the same room as those you replaced. Especially if your not a Zenobian. At least they have stolen clothing from women their size this time. So there's hope for them yet. Behind her, Ellana could hear the security guards combing the floor for intruders, as L cleared her throat. "So Coke tastes really great!" She said unconvincingly as this was emphasised with more thumping from the cabinet. Turning M let out a little laugh. "You know I shouldn't have had Chinese before this meeting it's set my stomach off, heh." She said with a little nervous laugh as L rolled her eyes. Resisting no more, Ellana rose from the table laughing. "Has much as I love to see you stumble over your words my old friends, I must dash. But I will say this you really have much room for improvement." The realisation then dawned on the agents, as she dashed towards the door. "Ellana!" L cried as the two agents leapt over the table. But before they could catch her, Ellana slipped through the door and locked it before giving the agents a cheeky wave running for the stairs. "Sonofabitch!" M roared with frustration as she kicked the door, as Ellana disappeared through the stairway. L sighed shaking her head. "We can't force this door open. Not with security prowling around. Damn it!" She swore under her breath.


Checking Chen's phone as dashed down the stairwell towards the underground parking, Ellana looked up the quickest route out of the city to Hong Kong, having already decided that her next destination was the Coca-Cola branch office in Hong Kong. A bullet train? Apparently it's the fastest land transport in the world. And there's a station not far from here. I just need a new face, a change of clothes and transportation. Quickening her pace, Ellana dashed down the stairs as replaced her stolen phone in her skirt pocket.


Zhen Liu Accounting Ltd Underground Parking 20:30pm


As Ellana entered the underground parking, she sighed as she found an ambulance with two paramedics one of them then a young female, treating two underwear clad chinese women in the back of a van with "Lucky Tiger Cleaners Ltd" written on the side. Looks like a couple more of M & L's victims and I take back what I thought before. There is no hope for them, they didn't even take their underwear. Amateurs! Also there were two police cars forming a small cordon with three MiB agents talking to police officers, their black suits standing out. Two were males, one a middle aged ginger haired male the other a young balding brown haired man with horn rimmed spectacles. While the other was a young chinese woman with shoulder length auburn hair. Ellana watched as the ginger haired male and redheaded female finish their conversation with the officer, before they turned on their heel getting on the elevator leaving the bespectacled agent with the cop. Suddenly, Ellana noticed the female paramedic yell something to her colleague before peeling away from the safety of the group as she ran towards the ambulance which wasn't too far away from her position behind a support column, near a row of dumpsters. Her form will allow me to slip the net and escape to the train station. But first I will need to play the paramedic As the girl for nearer Ellana appraised her as she waited in ambush. She was a pretty little thing with angular features, gentle features and grey slanted eyes with her chestnut brown hair tied into a ponytail. Her uniform consisted of a white short sleeve blouse, with her name in Chinese characters printed on the right breast and medical asclepius on the left shoulder, black trousers and matching sensible flat shoes. Grinning, Ellana readied herself coiled like a spring.



Paramedic Sun Li-Mei jogged towards the waiting ambulance which was beyond the police cordon, her mind confused. So according to those Interpol agents, those unfortunate girls were victims of industrial espionage? It didn't make sense. I mean who would want to infiltrate an accounting firm? At least that bright light explained everything. Now I need to call this in. What?! Sun's thoughts were violently interrupted has she felt a hand pull on her uniform shirt pulling her behind a support pillar. Then the hand clamped around her throat with it's twin muffling her cries of surprise. Sun whimpered as her attacker shushed in her ear. "Shh! Don't threat, dear. Time to rest." She whispered as she pinched the vulnerable nerve clusters either side of the paramedics neck. Sun let out a pain muffled squeak as she as slumped unconscious in the woman's arms, eyes rolling into the back into her head. Her final sensation was being dragged behind a row of dumpsters, the nearby police cordon not registering their struggle.


Sitting the unconscious paramedic against the dumpster, Ellana quickly stripped out of Chen's suit before kneeling beside the woman assuming her form with a kiss loosening her scrunchie. "Sun Li-Mei, 23,.Paramedic. Her favourite breakfast is egg noodles served with spicy beef and Chinese dumplings washed down with a bottle of isotonic energy drink. Gives her plenty of energy to get through a morning shift and beyond." Ellana said as she adopted Sun's ponytail before unbuttoning her shirt, slipping it off her shoulders to reveal c-cup breasts covered by a pink lace trim camisole. Holding up the paramedics arms, Ellana pulled the undergarment over the woman's head admiring her buoyant firm breasts with light pink rose petal areolas. After slipping on the camisole, she unlaced the half naked naked paramedics shoes removing them along with her white socks. Unfastening the girls' trousers Ellana peeled them from her slender hips down her long legs then whipped off her white scanty panties from between her thighs, exposing a small clitoris crowned with a thick trimmed triangle of chestnut pubic hair. Once she had pulled up the stolen underwear Ellana got dressed in Sun's uniform, buttoning up the shirt. When she was finished she tore up Chen's halter top binding the naked paramedics limbs and gagging her, before scooping up her petite form over her shoulder tipping her into the dumpster along with Chen's clothes. Taking a deep breath, Ellana walked towards the ambulance using the woman's memories to call in the arrival of the cleaners then run back towards the waiting colleague.



"Ah, Sun there you are. Did you call it in?" Said the male paramedic was Ellana approached the three men. She nodded as the police officer clasped is hands together. "Well the women are all yours. Assuming that Interpol is finished questioning them." He said sidelong to the young bespectacled MiB agent who stammered in reply. "Um...yes. We are finished with them. They are...erm...good to go." He flashed a nervous smile to the officer who didn't seem impressed. With that Ellana, assisted her new colleague in loading the two shaken half naked women into the ambulance then with their passengers secured she got behind the wheel. After being waved through the cordon, Ellana drove the ambulance out from the underground parking away from the skyscraper lights flashing and sirens blaring as she used the woman's memories to guide her to the hospital.


55th Floor Meeting Room 20:40pm


"Come on you little bastard!" L cried out loud as she tried to pick the lock with her trusty bobby pins, while M kept watch standing behind her. "Come on boss. Those guards are coming back on their rounds. If they find us then it's a Chinese prison or worse and I don't think P will be able to get us out of one of those." L sighed as she bit her tongue in concentration. "Enough with you negative waves, rookie!" That was then she looked up to see a grey uniformed security guard came around the corner, a look of triumph on his face as he placed his radio to is mouth. But before he could a familiar ginger haired figure tapped him on the shoulder, L smiled as she saw her lover and next to him Agent K. After flashing the guard and patting him on the shoulder, P and K walked towards the door quickly opening it as L stood up.


L could have hugged and kissed the man as he flashed them a smile each. " You owe me another one, guys. Thanks to yours truly we are handling the situation using the good old fashioned industrial espionage cover. One we haven't used in a fair while. All thanks to our resident mandarin speaker here." The young redheaded woman nodded smiling. "Yes, boss. I just hope N is alright down there on his lonesome." P then turned back to the agents, shaking his head. " So who left the neuralyser this time? No let me guess." He turned to M who went bright red flashing him an indignant look as L nodded. "And the stunners too. We had to use hand to hand." P sighed pinching his nose. "Do you know how expensive those things are? They don't exactly grow on trees. Z's going to have a field day with this." L crossed her arms. "I don't care, Paddy. She can send me a damn bill. We need to get into these offices and pick up Ellana's trial before the Chinese mess it up." P chuckled as K let out a small smile. "Speaking of which. Nice suits, where did you put their previous owners?" L gave a sheepish look as she thumbed the cabinet behind her. P shook his head as he walked into the room with his neuralyser drawn. "I don't know what's more of a hassle. Cleaning up after the changeling or cleaning up your messes." He said without real malice as he approached the moaning cabinet.


Beijing Central Station 21:00pm


After a brief detour to Beijing's hospital, Ellana had waited until both the male paramedic and the two scantily clad cleaners had entered the hospital before gunning the engine. Using the vehicles flashing lights and siren she had made good time weaving through the late night traffic towards the central train station. Parking the vehicle right outside the station, Ellana had entered the surprisingly busy station scanning the departure board for a fast train to Hong Kong. There! A 21:20 to Hong Kong! I just need some moey, a new face and clothes. There must be a suitable female about. As she scanned the busy terminal for a suitable mark, Ellana noted many attendants dressed in a similar manner to airplane stewardesses. They must serve the same purpose. With one of their forms and uniforms I will be all set. But which ones going to Hong Kong? The sound of clacking pumps and a gentle female voice seemed to answer her question. Ellana turned seeing a pretty train attendant busy talking on her phone, heading towards the bathroom. She was pretty little young Chinese woman with rounded features, smooth cheekbones and big slanted brown eyes. Her dark brown hair knotted into a bun under her red pill box hat. She wore a matching red waistcoat with her nameplate on the left breast, pencil skirt and black pumps. Underneath was a short sleeve white blouse, with blue scarf tied around her slender neck. As she neared the bathroom the attendant stopped, speaking into her phone. "Yeah honey, I'am afraid I have pulled the late run into Hong Kong so I will be late home for dinner. So just leave it in the oven and don't wait up. Love you, sweetheart. See you soon." With that she hung up and walked into the bathroom. Well that's my travel plans all set. Ellana grinned as she followed the young girl inside.


Jiang Zhì took out her lipstick applying some of the ruby red to her lips sighing. I hate pulling these late shifts since I won't be seeing Cheng until tomorrow morning at the latest but we both work on the railways and we knew what we signed up for. The sound of the bathroom door opening behind causing her to pause in her applications, Jiang's eyes widened in surprise as she saw a young paramedic reflected in the mirror. "Oh my? Is everything okay? No one's hurt I hope?" She asked the woman who cocked her head grinning. "No everything is fine. In fact I was looking for you." Jiang turned to face the girl. "Me? How can I help you?" The woman raised her right hand. "I really like your uniform and your pretty face, dear. Might I borrow them?" Jiang reared back in fear. "What you are you d-argh!?!" The young attendant let out a short pained yelp as Ellana's chop connected with the right side of her neck, instantly rendering her unconscious. "Red was always my colour." Ellana quipped as she let the girl slump into her arms, dragging her to the waiting cubicle. Planting her body onto the toilet bowl.


Shedding her paramedics uniform, Ellana knelt by the unconscious girl kissing her soft red lips assuming her form as she took off the hat and loosened the bun. "Jiang Zhì, 22, Bullet Train Attendant. She and her boyfriend are planning to get married come the spring. They both met on the railways, he being a track engineer. She likes her job because it pays better then being a stewardess and she has no desire to leave China." Ellana adopted Jiang's hairstyle before removing her scarf then the waistcoat, slipping it off her shoulders. Once she had unlaced the black pumps Ellana unbuttoned the attendants blouse revealing B-cup breasts barely covered by a dark blue lacy bralette. Reaching around Jiang's rear, she unzipped her skirt working the garment from her slight waist pulling it past her long legs, then whipped off the matching bikini shorts protecting her modesty getting a glimpse of a full clitoris crowned with a think strip of dark brown pubic hair. Once she had pulled up the stolen lingerie, Ellana stripped off the blouse from the half naked Jiang along with her bralette, unclasping it to reveal small pleasing breasts with puffy dark pink areolas. Quickly pulling on the woman's uniform, buttoning up the waistcoat setting the hat on her head Ellana tore up the paramedics uniform shirt, binding and gagging the naked Jiang. Once she was finished, Ellana locked up the cubicle then climbed out leaping over the other side. After retrieving an out of order sign from the cupboard, sticking it over the door Ellana applied some of Jiang's make up in order to look the part. Smacking her new lips together satisfied she looped the handbag over her shoulder then swept from the bathroom.


China Rail Bullet Train to Hong Kong 21:20pm


"All aboard, train to Hong Kong! Last call!" Ellana shouted playing her role as the last of the passengers boarded the train. "Farewell, Beijing. It has been quite the fun adventure." She said under her breath as she closed the train doors with a button. Feeling the train pull away from the station, Ellana retreated to the galley to prepare to assume Jiang's duties. It's going to be a long trip. 8.5 hours according to the internet so I best get started. Beijing as been so much fun and I learned so much, even despite the interference from my amateur friends. Well I wonder what Hong Kong and Coca-cola have in-store for me. Briefly looking out of the window, Ellana smiled as the city lights of Beijing shot past leaving bright trials in her retinas.

MiB FIELD REPORT (TASK FORCE ELLANA)

CASE NUMBER:- EL117806

Location:- Zhen Liu Accounting Ltd Offices, Beijing, China

Date:- 05/09/2024

Incident:- Close Encounter of the Fourth Kind

Attending agents:- L ( Senior Lead Agent) M ( Probationary Agent)


Support team 05:- P( Lead Agent) N( Probationary Agent and Data Analyst) K ( Communication and Drone Specialist) D (Logistics) J ( Driver)

Support team 03: G (Lead Agent) U (Probationary Agent and Data Analyst) R (Communication and Drone Specialist) S (Logistics) I (Driver)

Status: Ongoing


Following Ellana's infiltration of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, myself and Agent M had to impersonate two Air China stewardesses to board Ellana's flight to Beijing. During the course of the four hour flight we assumed the duties of the flight attendants but had no idea on the identity of Ellana's latest victim. It wasn't until the flight had landed in China, then I noticed the twelve messages that P had left me. After learning that Ellana had replaced a Ms Cheung Mén Yéo,a 26 year old accountant from Beijing. Se passed the information onto Agent G and support team 03. It was then we spent the next fifteen minutes waiting for our quarry, only to learn that she was one step ahead like always. She had shown her knack for planning ahead by replacing a Ms Zhou Xīn Yén, 21 while still on the plane. She simply walked right past us leaving behind behind Zhou's naked body.


After acquiring some new clothing from two Dutch tourists who were quite obliging after some persuasion, we received a call from Agent N who had tracked Zhou's phone to the Zhen Liu Accounting Ltd firm in downtown Beijing. Wasting no time, we commandeered a local taxi and headed straight there through rush hour traffic. When we reached our destination, we snuck past security into the underground ground parking and assaulted two female cleaners for their uniforms in order to infiltrate the building. I will state now for the record that this was a tactical decision made by myself and I assume all responsibility.

What took place in the offices of Zhen Liu can only be described as bad luck on our part and wasn't down to errors on either mine or Agent M's part. We discovered purely by chance Ellana's third victim, a Ms Wang Bao, 25, another accountant. After M attempted to free her, she screamed for help and my partner had no choice but to restrain her with a punch to render her unconscious. The damage has been done however and security had been alerted, we quickly fled the scene but came across two female representatives from the Coca Cola Company, who we later would discover that they were to have a meeting with a representative from the accounting firm. Faced with potential arrest, agent M and myself rendered the women unconscious. After stealing their clothes and impersonating them, we attended the meeting which didn't go well. We learned to our surprise that Ellana had replaced the real Chen Huiying, 33. She proceeded to mock us then fled the scene locking us inside the meeting room, as she made her escape.


An half an hour later we were released by Agent's P and K who had caught up with us. They informed us that they had handled the authorities utilising the standard "Industrial Espionage" cover and once we were back in MiB black we learned the full extent of Ellana's exploits in the Zhen Liu. She had replaced no less then four women, including a female paramedic in the underground parking lot. Thanks to the teams investigative skills and the discovery of a train attendant in the train stations bathroom, we discovered that Ellana is heading to Hong Kong to the Coca Cola branch. Task Force Ellana is now enroute to Hong Kong and our plan is too intercept her once she's makes her move.


Signed

great story but l and m violently assaulting girls ..bit ott when you got the so called good girls using excessive violence.......anyway ellana as classy as ever ......epic storytelling nevertheless

Thanks Simon I'am glad you enjoyed it. The thing with our agents is they were in something of a hurry and couldn't speak a word of Dutch, then factor in M forgetting their gadgets, they were out of time. They were left with no choice but to use excessive force on those tourists. And with the cola reps, M had inadvertently tried to help Wang only to alert the entire floor, leaving her no choice. They bumped into the women and were in a hurry, they needed quick disguises. Unfortunate for the cola reps.


We know that our agents don't like doing what they have to do to stay on Ellana's tail but they will do what they have to do, to keep Ellana's existence secret and to keep whatever trouble she gets up to to a minimum. As for the real heroine of our story she's having a whale of a time travelling the earth, meeting all these pretty women and becoming them. All in the name of science and for fun as well.

[simon4242]

appreciate what you are saying but l and m are more than capable of rendering them unconscious without brute force the two dutch tourists couldve been quickly hand gagged and choked after all they were too busy laughing ..anyway moving onwards and upwards how many more chapters to go stormtrooper

I think L at this point was running off anger and adrenaline. Anger at Ellana slipping the net, of M cocking up and of being laughed at. She lashed out and attacked the tourists. And M, staying loyal followed through with her punch.

The beauty of Ellana's story is that you could put her in any situation or any location and it would still work. Ellana, Nikki and our agents have many more adventures ahead of them. Arc and I have been planning more chapters with evermore interesting situations and locations they will find themselves in. So I would say its ongoing and there is no end in sight.
