chapter 2

It had all started two years ago. Annael had received funds for her archeology expedition. She had rented a ship with a crew and taken the long and perilous journey to Sol and old earth - or the remains of it. Finding the remaining data archives that hadn't been destroyed by the War of Voids had been a challenge, but it had been worth it. They had struck gold and found massive archives of minds that had been one of the oldest in existence.

She had mined the minds for weeks and had learned about foods that had dropped out of common knowledge entirely. The fabber recipe for something called "pizza" was alone worth a fortune. But Annael found much more. She found a whole food culture from an age of indulgence. From a time when food had been a source of decadent pleasure instead of optimised nutrition.

Annael was fascinated. She mined for the minds most decadent and had found her first feedee. The idea of getting sexual pleasure from eating and growing was completely alien. But irresistible. She had toyed around with the idea for days before finally caving in and injecting her external mind with some of the memories and brain structures.

She had of course been tasting the fabber recipes as she discovered them. But only as a scientist. Immediately after injecting parts of the feedee mind, she felt a jolt of hunger unlike anything she had felt. It was lust, greed, craving of many of the most decadent foods she had discovered. Curious she went to the fabber and thought it to create a whole key lime cheesecake. Then she went to her quarters and did something she had never done or seen anyone else do. She stuffed herself so full she felt almost nauseous.
As days went by, Annael sank deeper and deeper in the rabbit hole she had found. Instead of just sampling the fabbed foods, she binged on it, eating as much as she could hold as often as possible. Whenever she discovered a new fattening treat, she'd fab it over and over, fine tuning the recipe until it gave her maximum amount of pleasure when eating. She might spend a whole day sitting next to the fabber eating one batch until she was in pain, then waiting and rubbing her middle until she could fit more food in.

Annael kept the injected feedee mind because that way she was able to perfect the fabber recipes. But she didn't realise that the patterns were starting to bleed over to her core mind and create native patterns. She was becoming addicted to eating and the pleasure she got from it.

When Mahtan had first asked if Annael was going through a pregnancy emulation to reset her biological clock, she was puzzled. Curious she thought some med nanites that did her a full examination. She learned in seconds that her body had grown. New deposits of fat tissue had formed all over, but especially on her waist. Her stomach had also grown in capacity. Something she had noticed herself and used it to fill herself with even more food.

The feedee patterns in her external mind were reacting with waves of pleasure and arousal from the information. Of course! She had learned about the idea of growing bigger on purpose already, but had just forgotten it as she had been so focused on the foods and eating.

Annael had never weighed her body. The whole concept was absurd especially while traveling in space where gravity was something you requested from the ship's mind. Curious she thought the ship's mind to estimate her weight in old earth gravity and compare it to her body's normal weight. Her feedee mind lit up when learning her body had grown almost 20 old earth pounds in two weeks. Studying the matter Annael realised her growth must be faster than in old earth days because everyone was optimised to use nutrients as efficiently as possible. Eating too much calories on purpose wasn't taken into account in the designs.

As time went by, the feedee mind leaked into her core more and more. Now she wasn't eating just for the pleasure of eating, she wanted to make her body grow. And grow it did, with ease. As she absorbed more fantasies, she soon realised she would need a feeder. After some days of data mining, she found Arthur. It wasn't hard to convince that being the mind of an android wasn't such a bad thing when you had Annael for a girlfriend and a feedee. And an unlimited food supply.
