Herta looked at Stelle, the unconscious girl had her mind currently in the simulated universe farming for resources, to be honest studying Stelle was rapidly growing dull, the trailblazer was always spouting the most nonsensical nonsense she had ever heard, and the researching of a stellaron in a mortal body didn't go anywhere either
 
Herta sighed, maybe she could use Stelle for something else, some other research that she wanted to explore…
 
*Grooowl*
 
Herta's hands went over her cold stomach, she had recently upgraded this doll to be more… human, so she added some organs to it, as well as some additions to the material of the body, if she continued like this maybe she could create fully fleshed humans from scratch. But that was put on the back of her mind, Herta had never before felt the need to eat while being a puppet, she didn't even know if the organs worked correctly.
 
“Well there is an idea, maybe you can still help me with some research”
 
Herta grabbed the limp trailblazer and placed her hands and most of her arms to be engulfed by the dolls mouth, Herta still hadn't added any taste sensations to it so the disgusting flavor of Stelle's trash can jumping wasn't tasted at all.
 
‘I do wonder if you will even digest at all, can someone with the power of a stellaton be digested? This is truly getting me curious’
 
*Gulp*
 
The first gulp sent Stelle further in, her head halfway entered Herta's mouth but another gulp sent the trailblazer deeper into the gastric abyss, unable to struggle until she was done with the simulated universe it seems like her fate was set.
 
‘Hmmm, I imagine if she somehow escapes that she'll try to eat this doll, luckily this isn't my real body so no harm done’
 
*Glurk* *Glulk*
 
‘In fact she should feel honored that I'm eating her, millions would kill to be in this position’
 
Herta had reached Stelle's stomach, gnawing a bit on it felt amusing for Herta, it wasn't often she felt amused by anything but this seemed to be an exception.
 
‘Hmmph, but I guess idiots like Stelle wouldn't be able to appreciate getting to be a part of me of all people, even if she'll just end up as energy for this doll it should still be an honor’
 
*Glulp* *Uuuolp*
 
By this point all that was outside of Herta was the legs, the head had entered the stomach and was already met with the acids within.
 
*Sshlourp*
 
With an uncaring expression the smaller doll sent the rest of Stelle into her belly
 
*OOOOUUUURRRP*
 
“Excuse me, but shouldn't you know better than to make me of all people gassy, *sigh* some people are just rude”
 
Herta may have been smaller but the elasticity of her stomach had stretched out to be bigger than her, it was tightly squeezing down on Stelle however showing a basic outline of her features.
 
“Hmmph, now where is some paper I wanna document this”
 
Herta searched around the simulated universe room and eventually found some paper, sitting down on the ground she used her own belly as a table so she could write this down.
 
*Grooaan*
 
“Hmmm, maybe I should lower the acidity by 20… no 30% later on, this stomach feels a bit too active, I estimate should Stelle not return then she'll be done in 1 hour and 27 minutes. Should she return to struggle then she'll be done in 44”
 
This continued for another 20 minutes before Herta heard the simulated universe deactivate, meaning that Stelle had returned to her body, at once the stomach walls were pressed from the inside outwards in a desperate attempt to loosen the tight hold.
 
“Mmmph… Where… Mmmhp… I”
 
Muffled were the voice from within her stomach, but Herta understood it good enough
 
“So you are finally back, good this was starting to get boring, you are currently helping me with some further research, I and the world thank you for your cooperation”
 
The struggling seized for a bit… before returning in full swing as Stelle was punching and kicking as best she could with the tight hold the stomach had over her.
 
“MMMPH… GET ME… MMMGH… HERE”
 
“Sorry no can do… well I'm not really sorry but you can pretend that I am if that makes you feel better, there is only one way for you to come out but that'll be in a couple hours”
 
The struggling didn't stop, in fact it grew even stronger as the trailblazer tried to force her way out, Herta however was pretty uncaring, without any pain receptors she couldn't feel a thing Stelle was doing.
 
“Hmmm, the prey still hasn't given up hope, the struggling has caused my acid to work overtime, it seems like she isn't noticing this due to adrenaline, she is starting to feel softer, I bet I could crush her if given enough force… actually that doesn't sound like a bad idea”
 
Laying her paper aside she placed both her doll-like hands around her stomach, she wondered how much pressure would be needed to turn this barely alive trailblazer to mush. Herta started with just a tiny bit of pressure, when nothing happened she increased it until she got some kinda result.
 
*Crack*
 
“Mmmph… AAAAAAUGH”
 
“Hmmm, okay so at this point into digestion and with this pressure her body starts to break, Try not to scream too much, it's annoying, I will now increase the pressure”
 
Herta hugged her belly even tighter, her soft folds bent around her arms but the prey wasn't as fortunate as to be able to bend like that, instead she broke…
 
*Crrack*
 
…Further…
 
*Crack*
 
… And further apart
 
“Hmmm, so you survived 47 minutes, 20 of those you were unmoving, you struggled for around 25 minutes and handled 2 minutes of pressure, it isn't much but maybe I can use this in further calculations”
 
Yeah, Herta would need to eat more people to see how long they would survive, maybe she could find something interesting if she continued this path of research.
 
“Now I estimate around 3 hours before the time to release her, I'll write further on this at a later date”
 
*3 hours later*
 
Herta was walking towards the bathroom, sure she got some looks from researchers, it would be strange seeing a doll gaining weight, but the upgrades Herta made to this doll extended even to weight gain, she truly was a genius.
 
‘And as always I estimated perfectly how long this would take, as expected of someone as great as me’
 
With that she opened the bathroom door
 
*Scat warning*
 
Herta sat down on the toilet, it felt neither cold nor warm for the doll, if she had to point something out then it would be that she felt that it was a bit softer sitting down now than before, her anus bloomed open and the tip of the log was already on the way out
 
“Hmmm, I'm gonna need to take a photo of this after I'm done, consider yourself lucky, you'll be placed as a picture on my research notes”
 
With barely any need to push Herta just let the logs exit calmly, the logs were smooth and easy to exit, barely any bone fragments had survived the trip and the hairs was barely noticeable.
 
“Haaah, I had never considered researching this in the past, I'm sure this will keep me interested for at least a few years”
 
Herta flushed behind her when the pile of shit was starting to get a bit too big for her liking, and she continued like this until she felt a blockade in her rear.
 
“Are you really going to make me actually use energy on you? How inconsiderate”
 
But even when she actually pushed a bit harder it didn't take long before the skull that was already half melted to exit along with a bit more dung, it didn't take long before she was done afterwards
 
“Uugh, not even your skull is whole, it's not worth keeping”
 
Herta wiped herself and later stood up so she could take a picture of the former trailblazer, with the photo taken she flushed without a care in the world, redressed herself and walked out, many would ask her if she knows where Stelle had disappeared to but none could ever guess what had actually happened to their friend.
