===== GLU026 Scene 01: Lunch At Luna's (pg. 1-10) =====

Two weeks after the unsuccessful [[:holo-lab|Holo-Lab]] tests, [[:alexander_dunn|Alexander Dunn]] arrives at [[:luna_masters|Luna Masters]]' house with pizza and notices her looking unhappy. Luna replies that it is because she's going in front of the committee and she shares the pizza with Alexander while a mysterious van parks outside her house, a person inside stating they are "ready with the transfer". Luna starts to grow and tells Alexander the van outside is scanning them. Luna and Alexander start having sex, a decom agent tries to detain Luna but she causes them to grow and Luna continues growing until she bursts out of her house.

===== GLU026 Scene 02: Benton and Kelly Brief Jen (pg. 10-18) =====

{{  :growth_lab_cover_26_.jpg?nolink&300x400}}

Soldiers warn [[:hannah_stromberg|Hannah Stromberg]], who is in the mysterious van, that [[:luna_masters|Luna Masters]] is nearby so Hannah tries to use the van's generators to absorb the excess energy. Hannah transfers the energy to [[:bruce_banner|Bruce Banner (The Hulk)]] who starts growing and [[:jennifer_walters|Jennifer Walters (She-Hulk)]] tells him he needs to get out of the van. [[:roger_benton|Roger Benton]] takes Jennifer into a lab, stating Bruce will be fine, and shows her a new decom unit built to keep himself from growing. [[:dr._kelly_bristol|Dr. Kelly Bristol]] comes in and introduces herself as a research scientist studying Benton and Luna. Dr. Bristol states her theory is that Luna has started to become a being of pure energy, and each growth is making her body more malleable, turning her into an extremely powerful battery. Jennifer agrees to help so Benton and Dr. Bristol put on lab gear and ask Jennifer to smuggle them into [[:encon_military_base|Encon Military Base]].

===== GLU026 Scene 03: Encon Military Base Outbreak (pg. 19-22) =====

[[:jennifer_walters|Jennifer Walters (She-Hulk)]] drives a truck with [[:roger_benton|Roger Benton]] and [[:dr._kelly_bristol|Dr. Kelly Bristol]] stowed away in the back up to [[:encon_military_base|Encon Military Base]] and reaches the checkpoint gate. Benton starts to grow out of his suit and Jennifer tries to play off the noise to the gate guard as she also grows inside the truck. Dr. Bristol grows as well, Benton tells her to just enjoy it but she states they have a mission. [[:luna_masters|Luna Masters]] is being held in an [[:ultra_decom_chamber|Ultra Decom Chamber]]. A soldier approaches to tell Luna about the problem outside which she correctly assumes is a growth breakout. The soldier states they need Luna for testing, but she is also one of the few people that can revert Benton once he's grown. [[:bill_riggs|Bill Riggs]] and [[:karen_summers|Karen Summers]] approach and remove the soldier to talk to Luna in private and immediately start growing. Luna mocks Bill for not being able to break inside her chamber and Bill asks Luna for information on where the [[:energy_matrix|energy matrix]] plans are which she refuses to provide. Bill grows to a giant size but still cannot break into the chamber due to its robust design intended to securely contain Luna. Bill states the only way to break is for Luna to grow which Luna says is not possible but she soon after begins to grow. Luna checks her notes as she expands to figure out a solution but she eventually bursts out of the cell and gives a blowjob to Bill and is able to absorb all of his energy and they shrink back to normal. Luna states she won't be able to hold the energy in too long and they must hurry to the top floor of the building.

===== GLU026 Scene 04: Bill and Luna Get Held Up (pg. 38-60) =====

[[:luna_masters|Luna Masters]] and [[:bill_riggs|Bill Riggs]] argue about themselves showing signs of growing as they make their way to the top of the building. Bill and Luna steadily grow in an elevator until they burst out of their clothes. Bill blames Luna and she comments that she can't help it because she is unstable. The elevator doors open and [[:miranda_lawson|Miranda Lawson]] discovers them, stating that Luna is supposed to be in the lower levels. Miranda starts growing out of her clothes and Bill approaches her to have sex while Miranda muses internally that since she still has her belt on so her plan should work. Miranda plays along with Bill's sexual foreplay and Luna tells Bill to hurry it up when suddenly Luna's nipple splits open and the skin of her breast molts as another much larger nipple burst out form beneath. Luna yells to Bill that Miranda is tricking him. Bill questions Miranda who simply comments that Luna might be experiencing an [[:overload|]] and Luna states that Miranda is actively trying to make it happen. Bill realizes that Miranda is an energy generator, being the opposite of Luna as Luna continues to grow, laying on the ground as her breasts expand with extremely engorged an elongated nipples. Bill squeezes Miranda's breasts to discharge fluid and sucks her nipples to remove energy but Luna keeps growing, her nipples piercing out of the top of the building into the sky and then Luna's clitoris starts growing as well, expanding out of her vagina so large that it looks like phallus. Luna resorts to just growing and destroying the base. Meanwhile [[:tali_zorah_nar_rayya|Tali'Zorah nar Rayya]] is notified that Miranda failed her mission and to activate the ship's defenses. As Tali works to do so she begins growing and reaches a huge size wondering why she can't control it.

===== GLU026 Scene 05: Growth Lab Inc. (pg. 61-65) =====

The [[:tali_zorah_nar_rayya|Tali'Zorah nar Rayya]] disappears as a transmission cuts off and we see [[:margol_glu026-60|Margol (GLU026-60)]] who is an actress playing Tali lament that her prop breasts have broken as the right breast prop snaps off and falls to the ground. The filming crew takes a ten minute break to reset everything and we see that the earlier growth scenes were in reality being filmed by a production company called [[:growth_lab_inc|Growth Lab Inc]]. Margol apologizes to [[:marvin_glu026-60|Marvin (GLU026-60)]] for breaking the tracking points on the equipment and asks him how he liked her debut as Tali. Marvin reassures her that the prop will be ok and that fans will love her performance. As the two walk down the hall Margol expresses that she hopes she'll get the part, Marvin assures her she did good and not to worry about the prop as the show goes off the rails often, telling her that the [[:prom_night_incident|Prom Night Incident]] which was Margol's favorite episode was actually totally unscripted. Marvin comments that [[:marcus_king|Marcus King]] (who plays [[:roger_benton|Roger Benton]]) completely improvised the parking lot scene with [[:yvette_hernandez|Yvette Hernandez]] and Margol gushes that the episode was a watershed moment. Marcus King walks up behind Margol and thanks her for the compliment, and Margol swoons over him explaining that she's a huge fan of his work. Marcus states he can ask [[:arthur|Arthur]] to overlook the incident much to Margol's relief when [[:aria_bloom|Aria Bloom]], (who plays [[:luna_masters|Luna Masters]]) walks by telling Marcus to stop flirting because they have a new scene to shoot. Margol comments that Aria looks bustier on the show and Aria confirms that her breasts, although being quite large, are not as huge as Luna's and the look is achieved by special effects and close ups, remarking that they are reliable at making Marcus orgasm much to his embarrassment. Aria pulls Marcus away from Margol and ushers him on telling him today they get introduced to new film cameras.

===== GLU026 Scene 06: Testing VR Film Cameras (pg. 65-75) =====

[[:marcus_king|Marcus King]] and [[:aria_bloom|Aria Bloom]] are presented with new [[:virtual_reality_headset|virtual reality headsets]] that will allow subscribers to the show to view the actor's first-person view during scenes. [[:william_glu026-65|William (GLU026-65)]] tells them [[:arthur|Arthur]] wants them to do the day's line reading with the new headsets. Aria puts on the headset and is extremely impressed until William brings up that the headset hasn't turned on yet. As the scene starts and transmission begins we see Aria and Arthur in the virtual reality space as [[:luna_masters|Luna Masters]] and [[:roger_benton|Roger Benton]]. Marcus asks if the scene will be long because he has a date which Aria chides him about. William notifies the two the show they are running is "Space Parasite on the Moon", which Aria states she dislikes. The broadcast begins and we see Benton telling Luna the last shuttle has left, and Luna responding that she was the one who sent it. Luna states that if the energy parasite escapes anyone infected could undergo uncontrolled rapid mutation. Benton states they should leave but Luna says they can't and it soon becomes apparent that Luna has been infected. Luna's body grows, but her clitoris expands to a huge size when suddenly Luna states she doesn't feel well and the scene cuts out and we see Marcus throwing up. Aria chides Marcus but shortly after removing her headset she throws up as well. William explains that the link with the [[:premium_subscribers|premium subscribers]] overloaded during Aria's transformation scene. Aria leaves to clean up, ignoring William's reminder that the director wants to speak to her and Marcus. Later we see Aria eating lunch alone and Marcus asks if he can join her. Aria states he can if he doesn't talk about the latest filming session and he agrees, sitting down and beginning to talk but is immediately shut up by Aria.

===== GLU026 Scene 07: Carpool Growth (pg. 76-83) =====

Later, [[:aria_bloom|Aria Bloom]] thanks [[:marcus_king|Marcus King]] for agreeing to give her a ride home. As the two get into the car Aria remarks that the car is a 'tosser' to which Marcus replies it's a chick magnet. On the drive home Aria continues to chide Marcus about the state of his car when suddenly the button on Marcus' jeans pops off and then Aria's toes burst out of her shoes. Both Marcus and Aria start growing in the car, bickering the whole time until they arrive at Aria's apartment complex. Aria guesses that what is happening to them is due to the earlier test with the VR headsets and Marcus agrees. Marcus and Aria make their way to Aria's flat where they find Aria's cat [[:apollo|Apollo]] sitting inside the door and Marcus fingers Aria's nipples making her squirt liquid. Aria asks Marcus if he wants to have sex but Marcus refuses based on the fact that the lab techs might catch them and because he had just ordered pizza. The pizza arrives and Aria is thankful but then immediately chides Marcus for getting half pineapple on the pizza. Back at the [[:growth_lab_studio|Growth Lab Filming Studio]] [[:william_glu026-65|William (GLU026-65)]] and [[:john_glu026-86|John (GLU026-86)]] discuss a test they are running and William tells John to shut down the live feeds.

===== GLU026 Scene 08: Pizza and Growth (pg. 87-95) =====

[[:aria_bloom|Aria Bloom]] and [[:marcus_king|Marcus King]] shrink back to normal size after the live feeds are shut down. The doorbell rings and Marcus states that is probably [[:cindy_glu026-86|Cindy (GLU026-86)]], whom he asked to pick him up. Aria replies it's probably the guys from the film lab crew and answers the door naked, saying everyone has seen her breasts anyway already. It turns out to be Cindy at the door, and she comes in to berate Marcus for cancelling their date. Back at the [[:growth_lab_filming_studio|Growth Lab Filming Studio]] [[:william_glu026-65|William (GLU026-65)]] asks the crew to reboot everything starting with [[:luna_masters|Luna Masters]]' archives and [[:roger_benton|Roger Benton]]'s. Back at Aria's apartment, Aria is playing a video game when suddenly her breasts start growing again. Aria calls Marcus for help and Cindy storms out angrily. Back at the studio William states the Luna modules are corrupted and asks them to run the burst clean. Aria has another growth spurt and asks Marcus to call the studio. Marcus gets on the phone with William but the crew reboots Benton's program and Marcus starts growing as well. William tells the crew to shut the reboot down and this manages to reset Aria and Marcus back to normal size. Aria decides to head back to the studio to get to the bottom of the issue.

===== GLU026 Scene 09: Train Ride (pg. 96-99) =====

[[:aria_bloom|Aria Bloom]] and [[:marcus_king|Marcus King]] ride the subway train back to the studio. Marcus states he called the lab and they said they had taken the reboot off line and that they just need a quick scan to be cleared. As they ride on the train Aria and Marcus start to grow again. Marcus suggests getting off the trian, but Aria responds that the train is the quickest way to the studio. Aria asks Marcus for sex again but Marcus declines saying they are almost to the studio. Marcus wonders about the others on the show.

===== GLU026 Scene 10: Rebecca Presents to the Board (pg. 99-120) =====

Meanwhile, [[:william_glu026-65|William (GLU026-65)]] talks to [[:rebecca_sloan|Rebecca Sloan]] about the VR headsets, asking him where he procured them from. William replies they are army surplus and Rebecca confirms that the feeds have been turned off and the rest of the cast is clear before going to a board meeting to present the technology to the top executives. As the presentation Rebecca previews a new Growth lab storyline and the new headset technology. Rebecca asks asks the audience to put on the VR headset and proceeds to show how the feed simulates both physical and mental feedback experience. Rebecca then showcases a new interactive experience for premium subscribers and Rebecca's character in the VR space grows out of her clothes. Rebecca states that the VR experience translates a total sensory experience for the viewer. [[:james_glu026-104|Mr. James (GLU026-104)]] asks Rebecca how a good experience would be provided for customer who are voyeurs or shy and she replies that will show him and Mr. James' character starts growing in the VR space. Mr. James is apprehensive at first but eventually wants to have a full test of the erotic function of the equipment and the board of directors joins in as they grow as well. They all grab Rebecca and proceed to all have sex with her, turning off the sexual limiters and increasing stimulation in the program to maximum. The simulation ends and Rebecca asks for questions and Mr. James asks for further investigation. Rebecca asks if they can schedule a future time and Mr. James accepts, but starts growing in the real world. Rebecca calls for security as she grows and Mr. James starts having sex with her again. Security arrives and they cut the main and passive feeds to the demo and everyone shrinks back to normal. William asks if all the new VR feeds are off but is told one's still on, the script in the main recording room, which is locked. Meanwhile, [[:natalie_glu026-119|Natalie (GLU026-119)]] is congratulated by a coworker for being brought back into the Growth Lab storyline as Naomi.

Mr. James, along with his female assistant, both put on the headset and connect up. Mr. James starts growing in the VR space, meanwhile in the real world Mr. James and his assistant start growing as well. Mr. James asks the assistant to do a reboot for all users in the system from the central server which she does. Aria and Marcus are walking to the studio and notice Mr. James' limo nearby rocking back and forth. Suddenly Aria starts to grow again, upset to lose another pair of clothes. Mr. James gets a call from the lab and his assistant asks them to shut down the VR feed. Back at Growth Lab Film Studio, an executive calls the project a disaster and says to pull the plug.
