Anatomically Ana Automatically

Another audition blown, you slammed the the door of the rehearsal room and plonked down in one of the chairs. You were seething. You were in great shape, your body would be the envy of even a Marvel leading man. You were handsome. So why couldn't you book a job?

The casting director, Toni, emerged from the room and sat next to you. "You don't do yourself any favours going off like that."

"This whole thing is bullshit," you complained. "If I were woman, and my body was the equivalent of this... Well, I'd have my own TV show by now at least."

"I'll level with you," she said. "You absolutely have the looks but you just can't act. You can learn, and I've got a shortcut if you want it. In an hour I can make a total difference to your performances."

What did you have to lose? Toni drove you to a warehouse, and inside the warehouse was a laboratory. "This is a nanofilter," she said, holding up a small electronic device. "We can use it to upload skills to the mind. We put it on your neck, run the program and take it off again. You will have learned some new acting skills."

"Like... The Matrix?" you asked.

"Yes! Just like The Matrix!" Toni laughed.  "Just don't expect us to teach you kung fu today." 

"What's the catch? Is it safe?"

"Totally safe. No catch at all, only that you let me get you on casting calls. Then we both make money," Toni smiled. There was no reason not to. You sat in her reclining chair and she clipped the device onto your neck.

You couldn't move.

"Sorry," said Toni. "The recipient needs to be in tremendous physical condition, or the process is too taxing. They also have to be... well... kind of dumb or the personality overwrite won't take." 

You wanted to scream that she was a lying bitch, but your mouth wouldn't move.

"You are going to book a lot of jobs though, and your acting is going to improve a thousandfold. So look on the bright side. Right, here we go!"

She held a box with a screen next to your neck and you felt a stream of warmth enter you where the nanofilter touched your skin. The warmth flowed through you, into your skin, your head, your teeth. On your tongue you could taste metal. Something was vibrating deep inside you and you shivered.

Then there was an almighty crunch, one you could hear and feel.

"There we are," said Toni. "No going back now." She removed the device from your neck and movement returned. You leapt to your feet intent on attacking Toni, but found that you were suddenly shorter than she was. You had towered over her before at more than six feet. Now your eyes were at her chin. You looked down at yourself to find a silvery coating undulating over your skin.

"Nanobots. Tiny little robots. They're eating you and building a new body out of your parts. When everything outside is replaced they're going to do the same to your brain," Toni said with a grin. "You're really lucky - you're going be a popular, beautiful starlet."

Your flesh hung heavy around a smaller skeleton for a few seconds, before it all tightened up. Your limbs looked narrow and lithe. Your body too... You must have been half the mass you were. Two modest, perfect peaks bulged from your chest... You really were becoming a woman! You'd never seen breasts before without having a sexual reaction of some kind, but there was no sensation between your legs - your penis and testicles were consumed and converted. Inside you a womb and ovaries had already grown at the end of a tight, pretty pussy. 

The silver wave flowed over your face and you could feel it crunching away at your skin, shrinking your skull, reshaping your broad jaw, filling your eyeballs and changing their colour. The nanobots cleared your skin and flowed into your ears and nose, letting you see in the semi-reflective surface of the lab equipment that you now looked exactly like the gorgeous Ana de Armas.

The instant of recognition was pulverised as the nanobots moved through your brain, eating your cells and shitting out replacements. Your body activity stopped for a few seconds as new neutral paths were built. The nanobots spread over your brain and, with their final action, organised themselves into functions and memories taken from Ana at some previous point, all becoming parts of the new you.

You awoke in the lab, clad in a clinging bodysuit. "Hi Toni," you said in your adorable Cuban accent.

"The body scan is all done for the CGI, Ana. How are you feeling?"

"Great! I can't believe you can sleep through these things now. What a godsend! Is that me for today?" You got dressed.

"There's a car to take you home outside," said Toni. "They'll see you on set at nine tomorrow. Any plans for tonight?"

"Dinner at home with Ben," you giggled. "Something romantic." And you swanned outside to your chauffeur.

Toni dialed a number. "Perfect success, even more straightforward than Amy Adams. No, she has no idea about the accident or the dickhead jock she used to be. Yep, in a few hours she'll be getting that big Batman cock. Lucky little bitch!"
