The Problem

Upon waking and turning off my alarm I slowly sit up feeling well rested. I rub my eyes and clear them, and slowly stand up and start to shuffle to the bathroom. My feet hit the cool floor causing me to pause. The floor under the couch and bed is carpeted, so why would the floor be cool as if stepping on tile. This is something that sends a jolt to my brain waking me up and the room comes into focus, Its metallic grey in appearance, almost utilitarian in nature, the floor and walls are all metal.

The bed I was laying in felt nice, but had the same utilitarian feel as the rest of the room, The frame itself was welded to the walls, there was a soft light coming from the ceiling, and a desk with a mirror off to one corner of the room, a small porthole of a window was along one wall showing a dark nightscape with far more stars than I have ever been used to seeing, but I can see some familiar constellations, The door to the room had no handles or hinges. As I approach the doors they automatically open with a hydraulic hiss.

I pause for a moment at this and see the the room on the other side of the door had a similar feel of utilitarianism as the bedroom, but had a few more items including a couch and what would look to be a cooking area on the other side.

There was a television recessed into the wall across from the couch. Even with the utilitarianism of everything, it all still had a sleek appearance to fit the rest of the room. It wasn't large, but I would estimate it to be probably around two hundred and fifty square meters in size.

I step into what would be I think to be a living room 'Where am I?' there's another door along the wall to my right, and along the wall to my left, there's another window, but this one is a bit larger, taking up almost half of the wall itself. I can only see the night sky out of the window so I walk closer, What I see is a sight I would never have imagined in my wildest dreams.

Outside the window below I see a Large blue green world below. One I am intimately familiar with as I don't think that anyone alive in the modern era has not seen the images of our planet from space. Seeing it before my eyes, is by far the most spectacular thing ever, and also not just a little terrifying. After all, I am viewing the planet, My planet from space, clearly several hundreds of kilometers above its surface.

I see an object crossing the planet in front of me glinting metallically from the light of the sun, I reflexively place my hand on the window, but it doesn't feel like glass, it still feels like metal.

When I touch the window a display pops up and I'm startled and jump back, it apparently locked onto the object far below and zoomed in, tracking what I recognize to be the Orbital space station that several of the worlds nations came together to construct and launch into space about twenty years ago.

I spend some time contemplating things, after all, It would appear as though I'm currently in space. I have no idea how I got here, what happened, and the whole situation is just so outlandish that my brain just cant comprehend the situation at all. The point being, I'm currently so in shock that I cant even properly register such emotions or responses and am relegated to being... shockingly calm.

Not keeping track of time and being lost to my own thoughts I miss the chimes from the door, the door opening and the footsteps approaching from behind "Spectacular view is it not?"

The voice startles me out of my thoughts and I round on it crouching a bit into a fighting stance my eyes wild. The person chuckles "Relax I'm not here to harm you." I stare at the person it slowly registers with me who the person is. It's Ash, the girl who was with Lexi the night before, Or at least I would say it's Ash except that this is clearly not a woman in front of me yet is the spitting image of Ash if she were a man rather than a woman. "Lights" the Ash lookalike speaks

As if on cue, the lights brighten and I squint from the rapid change in brightness and I hear the Ash lookalike laugh a bit "Before I answer any questions I know you have, You should first put some clothes on."

I look down a bit confused by what was said just now. And I'm given the second shock for just a short period of time. Yes, I'm stark naked, However that alone isn't enough to cause me to be frozen in place unable to comprehend what exactly going on right now.

I lift my arms slowly and place my hands on my chest. Now I'll be the first to admit that I am far from being at an appropriate weight for my height, In fact I would say that I am slightly overweight by probably a good ten to fifteen pounds, something that I have been working on loosing.

But I certainly was not so large as to have such a chest... Yes, I can barely see my feet when I look down, but not because of my stomach. But because I do in fact have something on my chest that I can rightfully say I have never had, and should not have as a guy. The two something would probably fill a C cup. At that realization one of my hands shots down below the waist line and... yep... missing...

At this point my brain reacts and I dash into the bedroom where I previously saw a mirror, And before me, in the mirror staring back, a woman whom I would have sworn to be my sister for how closely we resemble each other in appearance, were it not the fact that I don't have a sister.
