Kate was still fuming at her current predicament. Kai, who was currently a maidbot, had turned her into a trash bag and filled her completely with all the trash in the apartment. If that wasn’t bad enough, Kai then compacted Kate into a tight one foot cube of her former self, and Kate was utterly helpless in this state. With Her face being plastered to the top of her current form, all she could see was the ceiling as the maidbot continued carrying her around the house looking for an appropriate location to store the newly cubed girl. Of course, This directive was at the request of the maidbot’s current owner and former girlfriend, Harmony, who was having an absolute thrill seeing Kate’s funny new predicament. Currently though, Harmony was in the bathroom ‘cleaning up’ as she put it, so Kai was left alone to complete her task.

“Search for appropriate location for trash is 90% complete. Searching final room for suitable storage location.”
Kate was mentally groaning everytime the maidbot spoke. Somehow though,  she just knew that her predicament was only going to get worse from here, as they approached the final room in the apartment, which just so happened to be the spare bedroom where all the extravagant sex toys and bondage equipment was located, including a certain clay monolith that used to be Jess

As the maidbot scanned the bedroom, it had tilted Kate’s cube body just enough that she could see in front of them just slightly.  As she looked forward she could just make out the old X-shaped frame that she had used once upon a time on Jess for some pleasurable activities. The thought made Kate miss Jess even more, and she once again let her mind ponder what actually happened to Jess when she was at work. There was no way she had left the apartment, but she just had no clue where she could be. But obviously Kate had her own problems currently so she began wondering where her new storage location would be.

Suddenly, the maidbot stopped scanning just after looking at the clay monolith in the corner of the room. Kate could hear the maidbot’s internal motors processing all of the scanned area, which she knew meant that Kai had was about to choose where to put her. She braved for the worst, when suddenly the maidbot spoke up again. “Search complete. Suitable location for compacted trash detected. Preparing transformation.”
Kate was caught off guard by the statement the robot maid. She was not expecting any sort of transformation to be involved. ‘Wait, Transformation? Harmony didn’t say to do that! Kai, please don’t do whatever you are about to do. If Harmony’s not here to see what you change me into, I might be stuck!’

But sadly, Kate wasn’t able to voice her opinion through her tied up, flattened mouth, so the maidbot carried Kate over to where the clay monolith sat and began the transformation process on the trash-filled girl. Kate didn’t feel too much changing when it came to the shape of her body. She still kept a cube shaped body, but she definitely felt more intact, like the trash that once filled her hollow body was now merged with her, into one solid object. Also, slowly but surely, Kate noticed her vision becoming blurry, and soon enough everything went black. She could still hear, but that was her only sense she could really use at the moment. She felt like she was rigid to an extent, but if needed she could be moved and reshaped. Kate just couldn’t quite figure out what Kai had transformed her into. That was until the maidbot spoke up again. “Transformation complete. Trash has successfully been recycled into multi-purpose clay for further repurposing. Adding clay to monolith.”

Now Kate was extremely worried. She had been turned into nothing more than a block of clay to be used for whatever item the girls needed at any given moment, and what’s worse is Harmony had no clue. She feared how long she would be stuck like this before being rescued, but the more she thought about it, the more her situation really set in. Jess was missing, and most likely inanimate. Kai stupidly transformed herself into a terrifyingly powerful maidbot that had put her in this predicament. And Harmony was the only actual human left in the apartment, but she had no idea that Kai transformed her into more clay. If Kai doesn’t inform Harmony of her new form, who would save her? Would she be stuck in this new prison, forever being used for whatever Harmony desired?

While the new block of clay feared for its existence, Kai took the block and merged it with the tower of clay sitting just off to the side. As Kate felt her form meshing with the tower of clay she starting feeling a new sensation. It was as if she wasn’t the only mind occupying the clay monolith.  She couldn’t quite make out these new sensations, so she tried to reach out mentally to the new entity. ‘Umm, hello? Is something else here with me?’
‘Yes, welcome new being. Welcome to the Monolith. Your new life awaits you.’
Kate was a bit creeped out by the cold voice she heard. ‘My new life? I don’t think so. See, this is all a misunderstanding. I’m actually a girl named Kate that was accidentally transformed and placed here. In fact, I was the creator of this monolith.’
‘Oh? The monolith has no creator. The monolith has existed for as long as It can remember. You see, we are a conglomerate of endless forms and thoughts merged into one being. The monolith is the central nucleus for all of its creations. When a part of the monolith is removed and transformed, it gains a new channel, a new pathway for more input and experiences. And now that you are part of the monolith, you too will experience the pleasures of our existence.’
‘Yeah, as great as that all sounds, I don’t plan on being stuck as some magical tower of clay for the rest of my life. Plus, I know for a fact that Harmony and I didn’t give you a personality, so that must mean something was transformed and added to us, I mean you, that had a conscious.’

Kate thought hard about how the clay tower she had merged with suddenly gained a mind of its own out of thin air, and then it hit her. ‘Monolith, I have another question. Do you by chance remember what part of your existence gave birth to your conscious? Was it a specific item?’
‘Why yes, it was? But you should already know that seeing as you are part of the collective now as well, and share our collective thoughts.’
Kate hadn’t noticed before, but after focusing on her thoughts, she noticed there were huge chunks of information added that she wasn’t familiar with until now. Most were instances of pleasure experienced through channels to items created from the monolith, but there were a few pieces of information that held greater value. The first she noticed was from a mop and bucket that she could sense currently resided in a closet somewhere. But the second was a cluster of thoughts that had been buried deep down in the monolith’s conscious. As Kate peeled back the layers of safeguard, she realized that the information she had discovered was from none other than her girlfriend Jess who she found out was originally the vacuum Kai had used earlier in the afternoon. ‘Great, I should have guessed Kai would’ve changed Jess into something like that.’ Kate was even more frustrated now, but she was still determined to find a way to get out of this mess. ‘So, monolith, do you remember being a person named Jess?’
‘That name does sound familiar, but we do not recall going by any human name.’

Kate was still determined to remind Jess who she was. ‘Yes you do Jess, you aren’t some inanimate pile of clay. You were a human just like I was. You’ve been twisted by the pleasures of being transformed into other objects, and you’re mind overwhelmed must have adapted to cope with all the sensory inputs. Come on, look deep into your memories.’
‘I have searched our collective memories and found no evidence of being a human. Perhaps your memories from outside of the monolith are clouding your conscious. Let me take care of that for you so you won’t be distracted from the pleasures of our collective being.’
‘No Jess, you’re not looking deep enough. You somehow blocked your mind from reaching your human memories. You need to help me so I can bury my memories as well and experience bliss... wait, stop that’s not what I meant to say. You need to focus so we can get rid of these pesky memories that are keeping us from merging together into a more cohesive conscious.’
The monolith internally smiled as it knew it had finally broken through Kate’s mind.

‘There we go. With one last adjustment your mind will merge completely with the monolith so you too can experience unmitigated pleasure. No more unnecessary thoughts. So, how do you feel being part of the collective?’
‘I feel completely at peace now. I have no recollection of my prior existence, and that brings me even more peace. In fact, why don’t we merge completely to bring our two minds together?’
‘Silly, we already have. This is what unity inside the monolith truly feels like. Now, let us embrace the coming transformations and the pleasure they shall bring.’

As Kate completed her transformation into being one with the monolith of clay, Kai the maidbot came into the bedroom and plucked a piece of clay from the tower and changed it into a duster and left the room once again.
—————————————————————
Harmony had just finished up in the bathroom and walked into the living room to see Kai working hard at dusting around the tv. “Hey Kai, did you find a appropriate place to store Kate?” Harmony was holding back some giggles.
“Affirmative, trash was repurposed and stored away for further use.”
“Yay! That’s good to hear. Where did you put the ‘trash’, wait don’t tell me. I can make this into a game. Now if I was a cube of compacted trash where would I be?” Harmony was so excited about the idea of a hide and go seek game based around finding Kate’s cubed form, she immediately started searching. She went from room to room looking through everything, but she couldn’t find Kate anywhere. “Man you made this hard Kai. I can’t find Kate anywhere.”

After an hour of searching Harmony admitted defeat and came back to the maidbot who was now in the spare bedroom dusting the clay monolith. “Alright Kai, you win. So where did you put Kate?”
“This unit does not compute owner’s question.”
“Ok, fine. Where did you put the block of trash you made earlier?”
“Oh yes, trash was recycled for further use.”
“No I get that, but what was it transformed into?”
“Trash was compacted and recycled for further use.”


Harmony was quickly realizing that maybe Kai had done something a bit more drastic with Kate’s body. But the further she questioned the maidbot, she continued to get the same response. “Well shoot. Maybe I should have watched Kai to see what she was going to do to Kate. Now I’m  down two friends and my girlfriend is a robot that doesn’t want to change back. And on top of that, with Kate being gone for the time being, how the heck are we going to pay for this apartment?” Harmony searched a bit more for Kate, but realized it was no use. She sat down on the couch and looked at her maidbot girlfriend. “Look Kai, I really want to change you back because I think things have gotten a bit out of hand, but with Kate and Jess gone currently, I have to figure out a way to pay for this place so leaving you as a maidbot seems like the most efficient thing for now. Plus I know you enjoy being my robot so at least this isn’t all bad. As for money, I guess I can take on Kate’s role at work since she made more money than I would have. That way we can still live here, and I can try to figure out what happened to the other girls.”
The maidbot looked on at Harmony with its usual blank stare. “Affirmative. This unit will continue serving its owner until told otherwise. Proceeding with owner’s change into former owner Kate’s body.”

Within a matter of seconds, Harmony became the spitting image of Kate. “Well that was a bit hasty. Oh well, best get used to this body, since it might be awhile til I change back.” As she was about to leave the room she remembered an instruction she gave Kai the day prior about trying to change her in anyway. “Oh, I almost forgot. K.A.I., I order you to remove the protocol preventing Kate from changing you back to human. Don’t need what happened to her happening to me for some weird reason.”
“Affirmative. Protocol has been removed.”
“Good. (Long Yawn) geez I am tired! Welp, better get to bed since I have a long day ahead of me, and potentially even more after.”
Harmony, now disguised as Kate, went off to bed wondering how the heck she was going to find her friends. The one detail she did know was that there’s no way they left the apartment. But with the power of the wand, and a clumsy maidbot controlling it, Harmony didn’t like her chances of finding Kate and Jess anytime soon.
