I have reached a point in the Slut Ray series that it's clear that I will need to find a natural separation and divide it into at least two books of this saga. And to think that this story was inspired by the frequent complaints about slutty wives who get "zapped by the Martian Slut Ray." Things have definitely gone down a rabbit hole here.
So, yeah, it's gonna be a wild ride. The next part of the story will be a little later in time, of course. There will be a lot more zapping and conversion, not to mention disintegrations, naturally.
