Chapter 3 :Unscientific methods

After a few moments Jana slowly woke up, reluctantly returning to reality and the nightmare she had found herself in. She could tell she had been gagged and blindfolded, and that she had been tied up with cable ties or something. By the smell of things she was in a house that was not used frequently. It smelled of dust and old scents. The wolf was terrified and felt nauseous. She trembled and whined like a puppy.

Piet and Terrance got up. They walked slowly towards Jana, who had now curled up into a ball, legs up by her chest.

Piet spoke in a calm, soft voice that sounded almost fatherly. "Don't be afraid. We are not going to harm you. I will_punish you_ for biting me, but we won't harm you. We are going to take your clothes off, but you can keep your underwear, OK?"

Jana whined. Her instinct told her to stay still and submit. Not a good option, but what else could she do when she was tied up? She felt someone grab her legs and pull her straight. She heard the snick-snick of scissors and cried as they cut her clothes from her body. Piet patted her head. Piet and Terrance's seemingly considerate treatment of Jana was nothing more than a cynical ploy totry and induce a bit of Stockholm syndrome in Jana so that she wouldn't start resisting again.And it was seemed working. Jana barely moved while her clothes were cut from her body by Terrance.

Terrance cackled. "Holy Shit! Look at her panties!"

Jana blushed and trembled with embarrassment as one of her kidnappers lifted her tail so they could both watch and laugh at her luminescent panties.

Piet grinned. "Well, she is a very naughty cherry for what she did to my arm. And I know how to deal with naughty cherries."

Piet grabbed Jana's arms and lifter her up onto her feet. He then walked her to the sofa, forcing her to hop, and made her lie down over the sofa's arm rest. Jana whined as her tail was lifted up and out of the way and her panties were pulled down to reveal her butt cheeks. Piet then spanked her in a playful manner while Terrance laughed. The stress finally got to her, and shesobbed her heart out.

Piet encouraged her to cry. "Good girl. Let it out. Let it all out."

Jana felt strangely comforted by this, and had to tell mentally tell herself that these were not kind people. 'They don't care about me. They are choosing to be nice, just like they chose to kidnap me. They are not nice people, I DON'T like them, they DON'T care about me...' Jana had to keep telling herself this over and over.

Piet stopped spanking her and pulled up her panties. "You will stay here while you regain your composure, understand?"

Jana nodded and whined. She was crying too much to talk. Had she not been blindfolded her tears would have made it difficult for her to even see her kidnappers. Jana had finally stopped crying, out loud at least, when she heard someone open the door and greet a third person. Someone grabbed her arm and made her sit up on the arm rest. An aging Doberman dressed in jeans, closed in shoes and a jacket smiled with delight. LC had not been expecting someone so beautiful for a test subject! He turned, smiled and nodded at Piet and transferred the second payment of twenty five thousand Rand from his credit card using his smart phone to Piet's account. Piet immediately transferred half to it Terrance's account as he had done so with the first payment.

Piet tilted his head sideways as LC pulled out a small silver box with a black lid held in place with for large silver screws. The lid had a number of small black buttons on one end, and a small screen at the other end. A small and archaic looking speaker was connected to the device via a wire. It was homemade whatever it was. LC pressed the device's speaker into one of the whining wolf's ear and pressed a number of the buttons on the lid. Jana's body when limp and LC had to catch her before she fell face fist onto the floor.

Piet could not contain his curiosity anymore. "What the hell is that? And what did-"

LC interrupted Piet before he could finish his question. "It's a controlled form of narcolepsy. She's asleep."

Piet was impressed and wondered 'how can I get hold of one of those?' as he helped LC to carry the wolf to his vehicle. LC's vehicle was a high powered sports car, highly streamlined vehicle, with a dark silver grey body crafted from composite carbon-fibre panels. The airless tyres had been crafted to look like ordinary tyres, to hide the honeycomb matrix inside the tyres that kept them in the correct shape. The sidedoors opened upwards when LC used the keyless entry top unlock the car. LC and Piet put the wolf into the cramped back seats. There was no need to secure her to anything inside the car. She would not wake up until LC used the device on her again. And the dark tinted windows meant no one would be able to see the unconscious, tied up Wolf wearing nothing but her underwear in his back seat. As LC drove off to finally start work on Experiment 261 Piet went back inside. LC did not care what they did in the safe house. He had no further use for it.

LC attempted to find his way to the GeneTech facility that he had chosen for the 'great experiment'. He cursed his memory as he made a wrong turn and got lost. Muttering as he activated the vehicles GPS, input the desired end destination, and set it to find the shortest route. He studied the route the GPS calculated for a moment then turned it off. He hated using the GPS while driving, and was still annoyed at having got lost when he turned into the facility several minutes later. It was an ordinary looking building from the outside, and it certainly did not look like a state of the art genetics research and development facility. It was off the beaten track as far as GeneTech laboratories went, but this was a good thing. It was seldom used, and LC had arranged for it to be 'closed' while he was using it.

The Doberman parked his vehicle inside the facilities secure parking area. He smiled as he parked. He could finally start the experiment of his lifetime! The doors of the sports vehicle swivelled upwards, and LC swore out-loud as he struggled to get the catatonic wolf out of his sports car and over his shoulder to carry her to the lab. 'I am getting too old for this...perhaps I should join a gym?' wondered LC as he carried the wolf as quickly as he could from his vehicle into the facility's foyer. Yelping and wincingwith pain, he put Jana down into an office chair. Panting, muttering under his breath, and hoping he had not put his back out, LC looked around the room. He noticed an industrial trolley, the kind used for transporting crates, through a door in the adjacent laboratory. Smiling with relief, he fetched the trolley and moved Jana into the laboratory, next to the large heavily modified hyperbolic chamber that he had used on previous experiments on more willing patients when working on developing the next generation of gene therapy techniques.

The cylindrical shaped plexiglass chamber had an air tight door at one end, and a trough like 'bed' which could be slid in and out of the chamber. The chamber was set into a frame which had a large flat screen computer at one end, and numerous buttons and controls alongside it. LC powered up the chamber and opened the door at the end. He slid the bed out bed out and once again struggled to lift the still narcoleptic Wolfto where he needed her. After he had got her into the bed, he removed her clothing and even took the time to chuckle at her panties. The luminescent words were starting to lose their brightness but it was still very easy to read. He walked to a nearby medicine cabinet, and looked for the drug he needed. He also needed a syringe. Once he had what he was looking for he walked back to the bed that he had put Jana in. LC quickly prepared the needle with the drug and injected it into Jana. Her body relaxed ever so slightly as she fell into a medically induced coma. He then used his homemade 'remote' to end the state of narcolepsy that he had put her in earlier.

LC clapped his hands together with excitement. "Now the real work begins!"

He went to a nearby store room with the trolley to get the various chemicals he would need. He returned with several fuel containers and a pair of arm length rubber gloves. One was filled with fur removing chemicals, the others with the chemicals he would need to make the carefully-balanced chemical cocktailhe would need to clean the wolf with before the genetic modifications began. There was also a large empty fuel container to mix the cleaning cocktail in.

LCdonned the arm length rubber gloves and began filled the trough like bed with the fur removing chemical. He supported Jana's head to make sure she did not drown in the chemical bath. When the fur remover had done its job, he drained the bed and then removed as much of the loose clumps of fur as he could before mixing up the chemical cocktail he needed to clean her body with. Once the cocktail was at the right ph he poured it onto Jana and began cleaning her, inside and out. When he was satisfied that the Wolf was as clean as he could get her he washed her body and the bed she was in with distilled water and dried it as with microfiber towels after he had let the bed drain. LC then began attaching electrodes over her scalp, torso, and along all the muscle groups. Some were for monitoring her vitals, and others were connected to a pulse generator to prevent muscular atrophy while she was being modified. Next deep lung respirators were installed to ensure she would not asphyxiate, and an external gastric feeding tube was installed. A catheter and solid waste removal system was put in place, and a circulatory system main line was installed for the on-demand introduction of hormones and chemicals directly into the Wolf's bloodstream.

With the hard work finally over, LC slid the bed and Jana into the chamber. Before he closed the door he double checked that all the life support systems were functioning, that sufficient oxygen was connected, and that enough nutrients were available to feed the Wolf while she was inside the chamber. Satisfied that everything was right, and that the test subject would not die, he closed the door. The Doberman was now for the first time concerned for the Wolf's safety. He carefully checked the computer interface one last time before he flooded the chamber with a soup of raw biological matter. Proteins, amino acids, and everything else her body would need while it underwent the extreme changes LC had carefully planned. LC wanted to start the next phase of the experiment, the actual modifications themselves, but he couldn't. Piet and Terrance had got the test subject for him so quickly that he had not even had time to start work on the tailored retrovirus that was going to be used to do the 'heavy lifting' of the transformation process by rescripting Jana's DNA. Fortunately everything LC needed to work on the retrovirus was in the lab, but it would still be a few weeks before the retrovirus was ready.

LC barely left the facility while the he programmed the machine that would make the tailored retrovirus. He obsessively designed and redesigned the virus before he was satisfied with the result. The virus was introduced into the chamber and to Jana's body via the circulatory system. As the virus progressively infected the Wolf's healthy cells, it caused them to mutate. As the cells mutated they began absorbing the biological soup that Jana was immersed in, rebuilding themselves to the new template that the retrovirus had introduced to them. During the three weeks Jana's body began to change. She started to look less and less like a Wolf, and more like a Hyena, as LC had intended. Most of the changes being made to her body were more cosmetic than anything else, but LC had been able to introduce nearly forty percent of the animal Hyenas genome into her individual genome. He hadn't made a new species, but it was the closest thing to a new species that existed. He had increased the size and strength of her muscles, make her teeth and jaws more robust, and strengthen the muscles in her jaw by carefully designing the retrovirus. He was pleased that he was able to strengthen her jaws so that they would be able to crush bone, just like a real Hyena. Her ears were now large, and had the distinctive shape of an animal Hyena's ear. He hadalso made some minor modifications to her brain to change the way she used her body language to communicate. The ears were a fairly minor touch, but they did help to make her look more authentic. The changes to the way she would use her body language was a necessity. Every sentient species on the planet used body language extensively to communicate, and having her use the body language of a wolf simply would not do. It would raise suspicions.

Her fur began to regrow after a week or so. Sandy brown fur covered her body, and contrasted nicely to the white cream fur on her underside. Darker brown fur covered her snout, forearms, hands, and her lower legs. Similar coloured spots covered her back in an irregular pattern. Her tail was somewhat shorter now, and the fur was short except for the end of the tail where it was longer and dark brown in colour. This gave the impression of a tuff.LC had left her eyes unchanged. To say they were sapphire coloured would not have done them justice...they were a deep, rich, vivid, aquamarine blue. They were too beautiful to change. There were other things he would have like to change, but he was pressed for time. Cornelius was anxious for a result, as were the company's share holders.

When Jana's body had finished mutating LC drained the chamber of its liquid contents. It took several minutes for the chamber to completely empty of the biological soup that Jana had been submerged in, and the Doberman was as excited as a child in a candy shop as he opened up the chamber and slide the bed and Jana out. After disconnecting his test subject from the life support apparatus, the catheter and waste removal system, and the numerous electrodes that were attached all over her body, he took a moment to admire his work. She looked just like a sentient Hyena. Of course, she wasn't a Hyena. He had only been able to incorporate perhaps twenty five percent of a Hyena's genome into her, and those genes were chosen to make her look like a Hyena. Despite the changes he had made to her, LC still thought she was beautiful.

LC cleaned her body once again with another batch of the balanced chemical cocktail, and moved her from the chambers bed to a regular medical bed. LC then wrapped her body in military grade nano-bandages to augment the genetically accelerated healing her body had already experienced inside the chamber. Padded leather medical restraints were locked around her wrist and ankles. Two specially designed leather belts were threaded through steel rings on the restraints and then wrapped completely around the medical bed's mattress. This would ensure that when the test subject woke up LC would not have worry about being attacked. He also put a leather muzzle on her just in case. Not that he had any plans on being _that_close to her when he did wake her up. In an ideal situation, he would have left the bandages on her for a week or two, replacing them as the nano-medicines were absorbed by her body. But he didn't have time for that. She would ache when she woke up, but that couldn't be helped. Cornelius wanted an update.
