===== GLU008 Scene 01: Naomi's Dream (pg. 1-7) =====

[[:naomi_furihara|Naomi Furihara]] arrive at home and greets her mother [[:anne_furihara|Anne Furihara]] (Mrs. Furihara). Mrs. Furihara says she has a surprise for Naomi but [[:mika_furihara|Mika Furihara]] angrily interjects that Naomi doesn't deserve it. Mrs. Furihara goes on about how Naomi is growing up, while her own breasts expand out of her clothes. Naomi alerts Mrs. Furihara to her growing breasts and Mrs. Furihara responds that she is just like Naomi. [[:mika_furihara|Mika Furihara]] also starts growing, starting with her butt expanding out of her jeans, angrily asking Naomi if she really thought she was the only one who could grow on command. Mrs. Furihara chimes in that they can all do it, Naomi asks why but Mika responds that they want to, her breasts growing to match her butt. Mrs. Furihara asks Naomi what she is waiting for and Naomi tries to resist the growth saying she feels funny but starts growing anyway. Naomi expands to a large size and is suprised that Mika keeps pace with her growth. Naomi yells that she's lost control and will burst creating another incident like prom night as her breasts keep expanding.

===== GLU008 Scene 02: Nautilus Enters Naomi (pg. 8-9) =====

[[:naomi_furihara|Naomi Furihara]] is seen sleeping, still bloated with energy and having a dream about her sister [[:mika_furihara|Mika Furihara]], subconsciously telling herself to hold in the energy. A helicopter circles around her searching for an entry site for the [[:nautilus|Nautilus]] to enter Naomi. The decision is made to drop the Nautilus in through one of Naomi's nipples and the craft sucessfully enters Naomi and begins to fly through the [[:energy_dimension|energy dimension]] inside Naomi searching for the crystal. On board the Nautilus, [[:hannah_stromberg|Hannah Stromberg]] receives a report that the [[:amulet|]] has been discovered on the radar. [[:character:dr._susan_lee_hughes|Dr. Susan Lee Hughes]] objects that the mission is too risky but Hannah states there is nothing to worry about. Dr. Hughes starts growing and states that they may have underestimated the energy fluxes inside Naomi but Hannah states again that she anticipated these conditions. When Dr. Hughes is about to burst Hannah orders the [[:energy_dampers|energy dampers]] to be turned on, draining Dr. Hughes of her energy, then explains that they are using the energy siphoned from Naomi and the crew to power the [[:nautilus|Nautilus]], and once they retrieve the [[:amulet|]] it will also be used as a power source for various ships. An armband is given to Dr. Hughes to protect against the energy fluxes and the Nautilus approaches the [[:amulet|]] with Hannah ordering [[:energy_suits|energy suits]] to be prepped for retrieval of it.

===== GLU008 Scene 03: Crystal Retrieval (pg. 13-18) =====

[[:hannah_stromberg|Hannah Stromberg]] and [[:private_villainova_glu008-14|Private Villianova (GLU008-14)]] venture out to retrieve the [[:amulet|]] in [[:energy_suits|energy suits]]. Hannah analyzes the [[:amulet|]] and finds that it is absorbing the local energy from [[:naomi_furihara|Naomi Furihara]], and is almost full. [[:private_jaime_glu008-14|Private Jaime Miller (GLU008-14)]] wonders why Naomi isn't shrinking and [[:jill_Trumble|Jill Trumble]] states that Naomi must be generating more energy than initially estimated. Villianova successfully grabs hold of the amulet with her suit and realizes that the kinetic energy has an amplifying effect on the total output. Villianova starts growing inside the energy suit until she fills it entirely and breaks out of it. Villianova falls unconscious as her armband activates keeping her from growing larger, Hannah brings Villianova and the amulet on board the Nautilus stating the amulet must be isolated once onboard. Hannah hands the amulet to Jill to take to storage and then prepares the crew to pilot the Nautilus out of Naomi. Before they can leave however, Jill notifies everyone of a hull breach on the ship and [[:private_jaime_glu008-14|Private Jaime (GLU008-14)]] states they are taking on energy.

===== GLU008 Scene 04: Nautilus Hull Breach (pg. 19-25) =====

[[:jill_trumble|Jill Trumble]] starts to grow and tries unsuccesfully to hide it while piloting the [[:nautilus|Nautilus]] ship. [[:private_jaime_glu008-14|Private Jaime (GLU008-14)]] reports that the ship shields are down and they are fully exposed to the energy. [[:hannah_stromberg|Hannah Stromberg]] is unsure of what orders to give as Jaime reports the [[:amulet|]] is amplifying the energy and the storage holding it is breaking apart. Jaime's breasts expand like balloons as she slowly gives in to the energy pressure. Jill puts the ship on autopilot and [[:character:dr._susan_lee_hughes|Dr. Susan Lee Hughes]] berates Hannah for dragging them on this mission in a prototype ship. Hannah retorts that Dr. Hughes does not understand the stakes of the mission. Jill continues to grow and accidently snaps off the control stick to the Nautilus. Hannah starts to grow as well, her hair lengthening and her breasts popping apart the clasps on her military shirt as she continues to hesitate on what order to give the crew. [[:character:dr._susan_lee_hughes|Dr. Susan Lee Hughes]] asks Jill to put the helm on auxiliary as she begins to grow. Hannah and Dr. Hughes try to account for the incoming energy waves, but Hannah states their efforts won't matter much soon as both continue to grow.

===== GLU008 Scene 05: The Method to Hannah's Madness (pg. 26-29) =====

[[:character:dr._susan_lee_hughes|Dr. Susan Lee Hughes]] complains to [[:hannah_stromberg|Hannah Stromberg]] that the coordinates for the ships exit are not stabilized when suddenly Hannah pushes a button and an alert sounds saying an overload is in progress. Dr. Hughes questions Hannah's intentions saying that overloading the system will either destroy them or break apart the [[:nautilus|Nautilus]] with their growth. Hannah explains that her plan is to make herself and everyone on board the Nautilus unload their energy, thus supercharging the [[:amulet|]] which should make a feedback loop and force [[:naomi_furihara|Naomi Furihara]] to unload her energy. Dr. Hughes grows quickly but her nipples are held tight by [[:mechanical_bracers|mechanical bracers]] preventing her from unloading the energy. Jill reports that they are approaching the event horizon as the Nautilus zooms onward and the ladies inside continue to grow.
