Bethany’s Diary
Friday 3/3/2000
Dear Diary,
Today I was finally promoted to head scientist after a gruelling year under the so called genius who couldn’t do anything on his own. I guess the people up top got some sense knocked into them. Now that I’m in charge things can progress quicker and smoother. They’ll start receiving results that Dr. Marshall could only dream about.

Dear Diary,
My first week has gone quite well in my new position; it’s just me and one other person. Last Saturday night a few of the other scientist took me out to this super fancy restaurant for a congratulatory dinner so I had to dress up. I went in a long, beautiful, red and black, strapless dress that hugged my curves, I put on my most favourite pair of red and black heels and to make it complete I wore my red and black clutch with the gold chain strap, I have been dying to use for ages.
The food there was beautiful, the seafood was so fresh and the service was exhalant.
Monday was very busy in the lab, Dr. Marshall had a few cybernetic arm projects unfinished. Alex (my assistant) and I got them finished and tested some of them, but they didn’t go the way I wanted them to. One short circuited, one was unresponsive and some just didn’t move like it was supposed to, so I striped them all down.
I spent the rest of the week getting Dr. Marshall’s failed cyber genetic arms and legs functioning correct, then sent them off to the medical bay to be distributed to the injured soldiers. Then I started to work on a serum to permanently boost the strength and stamina of the human body.

Dear Diary,
A lot has happened since my last entry; my new serum works well and is being distributed to a select few of elite soldiers. Lately I’ve been working on building a bionic heart, I have fifteen prototypes thus far. I would like them to do more than just pump blood through the body, what if they not only pump blood but also act as a secondary filter except I’m unsure on how the toxins will exit the system. I plan on setting aside five of these hearts for more testing, the rest I’ll have up and running by the end of the week.
I was walking through the lab today and noticed that we were sent a new lab technician. His face looks like it was carved by angels and he smells of spring. But I can’t let him distract me, I must concentrate on my work, even though it’s going to be incredibly hard.
Saturday 8/4/2000
Dear Diary,
A lot has gone wrong since my last entry. My efforts into making the bionic heart act as a secondary filtration system has completely failed! Not one, not two, but ALL three experiments I have tried literally blew up in my face. Each one had a pressure failure and no matter what I do, I can’t fix it. I’m going to take a break and save the other two hearts for now. If I have one more failure I swear to god I’m going to lose it.

Dear Diary,
Nothing is going right, ever since those failed experiments nothing has gone the way I wanted them to. The serum I created to increase eyesight did the exact opposite!!! Could things get any worse?? Like seriously. That’s it for this entry I’m too depressed and angry to write any more, I hope things start going better for me soon or the futures not looking too bright for me.
Friday 5/5/2000
Dear Diary,
Things are starting to look up for me but there is still a lot not going my way. Like the other day I finally got the sight serum to work but as a result I made FIVE lab rats blind, but it’s not all bad news I finally got the chance to start on a personal project that could, if it works, make life better. The big guys up top have no idea that I’m doing it, I’m keeping it a secret. The only person that knows about you and my project is Alex.
Wednesday 12/5/2000
Dear Diary,
Today I’m writing from inside the lab, things haven’t been going well, I’ve been swamped with work. My personal splicing project has almost come to a standstill and I haven’t been feeling too well lately, I don’t know what’s going on, I’ve been having chest pains and dizzy spells. Alex keeps telling me to go see the doc over in the medical wing but I haven’t had time for that, I have so much work to do that I.
Dear Beth,
I can’t keep silent anymore. At first I thought this was a simple passing fancy, that it was a mere crush that would pass with time. However, the more we worked together the stronger the attraction became. The feelings became so strong that I started dreaming about you. Every night I am with you in my dreams and I can’t hold it in anymore. I want my dreams to become reality. I want you as my lab partner through life. I want to make love to you as we work late in the lab. Bethany, I’ve never felt this way before. I’m in love with you. I want to make you mine. If you read this and feel something to, kiss me.
Yours truly,
Alex
Saturday 10/6/2000
Dear Diary,
I was finally discharged from the medical wing yesterday and I’m back at home recovering some more. It turns out that I had a heart attack from too much stress, it was so severe that they had to replace my heart with one of the bionic hearts I created, I freaked out a bit. It’s not easy being told you just had a heart attack let alone having it replaced, but I don’t mind because I know that my heart is going to be fine from now on.
After Alex drove me home he gave you back to me, he was holding onto you while I recovered so no one could read what was inside. I went inside, sat down and opened you up to where I was, to find a love letter from Alex. It’s so sweet, I didn’t know he felt this way. I think I feel the same way but I don’t know what to do Diary. I’ll...I’ll have to think it over and get back to you.
Wednesday 14/6/2000
Dear Diary,
After a bit of thinking, I have come to the conclusion that I do love Alex, I just wish I realized sooner. But it’s not too late, as soon as I can go back into work I’ll give him that kiss and tell him how I feel, who knows maybe I might even marry him. He’s sweet, kind and very handsome. He was the one who rushed me over to the medical wing when I had my heart attack.
Monday 26/6/2000
Dear Diary,
I’m finally back in the lab after weeks of “rest and relaxation” as they call it, more like death by boredom. I’m stuck on light work detail to keep my stress level down, which I’m perfectly fine with because it means I’m able to work on my splicing project and I can spend more time with Alex.
Wednesday 28/6/2000
Dear Diary,
So today was very interesting.... After everyone had left the lab for the night, Alex and I remained to do some late night work on my project. I approached him about the letter he left in my diary and got up the nerve to kiss him. Not just a little meek kiss, I’m talking a deep, passionate, full on kiss. You wouldn’t believe what happened next...
Thursday 29/6/2000
Dear Diary,
Oh my god. Last night was amazing. I had a passionate night with Alex in the lab. Let’s just say, he rocked my world. I discovered my feelings for him run so much deeper than I thought. I am deeply in love with him. I can see a future with him. I can even see having a family with him. Alex is my soul mate.
Friday 14/7/2000
Dear Diary,
Fuck. Fucking fuck. This has to be the worst day in existence. The government is shutting down my operation. Are you fucking kidding me?! Things were just starting to get good! You can’t make an omelette without cracking a few eggs. Those idiots are ruining everything. Well luckily I saw this coming and started saving for it. At least now I’ll be able to work on my experiments without the government over my shoulder. Wait until I perfect my serums. They’ll be so sorry.
Friday 28/7/2000
Dear Diary,
There are only two weeks left until Alex and I are kicked out of the laboratory, we have organised to gather everyone up and bring them to our department. Our last experiment, is going to show them just how much of a genius I really am. I’m starting to really stress out a bit. My serum isn’t even close to being finished yet. I’m determined to show everyone what we can do, finished or not. I’ll make them regret letting us go.
5:00 AM on Friday 11/8/2000
Dear Diary,
This evening at 8 pm Alex and I will show off what we have been working so hard to finish, it’s still not quite finished yet but I should get it done by this evening. If I succeed then I will be the first scientist to splice human D.N.A with animal D.N.A but if I fail then I will die doing what I love. I’m really nerves and a bit scared because it’s never been tested on a human, but I’m going to do it. I fill you in later... If I make it.
7:00 PM
Dear Diary,
I have decided to make one last entry before the experiment. The serum is complete but that doesn’t mean it’s perfect. I have to be honest. I’ve never been so terrified in my life. If any of my calculations are off by even the slightest thing, it’ll kill me or worse turn me into a writhing mass of pain and flesh.
No matter what though, I’m going to show them what happens when you doubt genius minds. Alex and I have an hour before show time and if I do die today at least I can be happy knowing that I spent my last day with my love. I’ve asked Alex to write out a log while the experiment is being performed so I can look over it later. That is if I make it...
7:55PM
Bethany is sedated, strapped into the chair and the needles are in position, with five minutes left till show time. I’m starting to get nerves but I have faith that it’s going to be alright.
8:01PM
The first phase of the experiment has begun. I have started by injecting the serum and nanite mixture into Beth’s bloodstream, through the monitoring equipment I can see them replicating as they course through her body.
The second phase activates automatically, as the blood nanites continue to spread through her bloodstream the bone nanites move away and make their way to the specified locations of Beth’s skeletal structure.
The third phase is progressing well. The blood nanites have successfully reached optimal mass and will cease replicating until more are needed. The bone nanites are now replicating and settling into her bones. From the computer readouts the bone nanites appear in higher than normal densities around her ribcage, arms and shoulders.
The final phase is full activation of the nanites neural uplink which will give Beth limited command and control over the nanites programs.
Bethany’s starting to change! Her body is getting longer and she and already grown a tail and two cute fox ears. Her human ears have disappeared and her facial structure is starting to change. This is incredible! All our hard work has finally paid off. Everyone is in awe at what they are seeing.
8:25PM
The transformation is complete. She now stands at six foot five inches, has light green fur from head to toe. She has flat human like feet with four fox like toes and she’s got human hands and fox claws for nails. She’s also got four tails, each a different colour, black, red, purple and blue. Her long, beautiful hair has started to change colour, it’s changing to blue. It starts of as a light blue on her head and fades to a darker blue down the length of her hair. It appears that she has put on a bit of muscle as well... Odd.
8:35PM
Bethany has woken up. I went over to the special bed that we had made for her and helped her sit up. As she moved upright I noted two odd lumps on her back. I will need to look over our experiment notes to deduce the cause for the lumps.
Facing her, I looked into her eyes and noticed that she had green fox eyes. They were so beautiful, I asked how she was feeling and her reply was “Sore, I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck” I chuckled and told her the good news. She was over the moon with excitement, not long after that she passed out.
I have asked one of the doctors to take her over to the medical wing to be monitored over night. After I’ve finished cleaning I’ll go over to the medical wing and spend the rest of the night with her.
Friday 18/8/2000
Dear Diary,
It’s been a week since the experiment and I feel great. After a lot of looking back on our notes it would appear that the lumps on my back are an unexpected side effect to the serum. We still have no idea what they are but Alex tell me that there are these things protruding from the skin and I’m a little concerned about them, I must look further into this matter.
After a week of discussion and debate Alex and I have decided to buy a block of land and build a house in the suburbs.
Friday 8/9/2000
Dear Diary,
Alex and I found a beautiful block of land a few weeks ago in a small quiet town, about an hour out of the city. The basement is finished and construction on the main house has already started. This is so exciting, we will finally have our own house soon!
Friday 8/12/2000
Dear Diary,
We have finally finished moving the last of our stuff into our house. This place is as amazing as we had hoped. It’s a three bedroom home and has a beautiful kitchen with stone bench tops. It’s a pretty decent sized home and we converted the basement into our new laboratory. We reinforced the entire structure with thick titanium alloy, we also installed an AI to monitor the laboratory security and projects. its so awsome, we have all our old lab equipment as well as some new state of the art gear.
Friday 5/1/2001
Dear Diary,
I have had such a great few weeks. Alex and I had our very first christmas together in our new home. It was such a beautiful and magical day. First we exchanged gifts and went to a friends christmas party. Later after the the party he took me to this gorgeous restaurant for dinner.
New years eve was fantastic. We had a new years eve party at home with our family and friends, then last night he took me out to this expensive restaurant and he… he proposed! AH this is soo exciting! I’m getting married to my one true love, I feel like I’m the luckiest woman in the world. I can’t wait to tell everyone.
Saturday 13/1/2001
Dear Diary,
Our wedding plans are under way and a date has been set for the 23rd of March. We have soooo much to do and plan that in such a short amount of time that I’m starting to stress a little but I don’t care because it is going to be such a magical day.
Thursday 22/3/2001
Dear Diary,
Tomorrow is the big day, I’m so excited and nervous all at once. I have so many things running through my head. What if the photographer doesn’t turn up or is late, what if it doesn’t go smoothly? I hope the makeup and hair stylist shows up on time tomorrow morning. The limo better turn up on time as well.
There is way too much running through my head to write it all down but I will say this, even though I’m scared, worried, nervous, excited and have doubts if I’m really doing the right thing. I know in my heart and soul that Alex is my one true love. I would do anything for him.
