In our previous chapter, our intrepid hero discovered the sexual teleportation powers of the January flower. Eager to learn about the plant’s properties, he now heads off to the lab to conduct experiments.
It was late at night so Sachin was able to park pretty close to the lab. He took the plant out of it’s special holder and proceeded to the white building, which was 5 stories high and very wide. Sachin had worked at Floratech for several years, mostly doing agricultural stuff, figuring out ways to make those california grapes even tastier and juicier while still keeping them triploids that wouldn’t have those annoying seeds. FloraTech and it’s subsidiaries altered genetics for almost all the grapes and most of the olives grown in California.
As Sachin walked through the sliding doors he smiled at the pretty receptionist as she scanned his key card and let him into the facility. The receptionist had long curly red hair, cat-like blue eyes, perky breasts bulging under a tight blue top… Sachin thought that maybe he should ask her out on a date. Sachin never had thoughts like that. Sachin had never been with a woman.
Sachin made his way down several white corridors until he came to the research lab where he knew the hot plates were. It was completely empty at this time of night. Before actually moving on to the lab section of the space, Sachin first entered an observation room with a large glass window where the lab manager could oversee what was happening down in the pit of the laboratory. Sachin flicked on some light switches, which illuminated the large lab below. Sachin then placed his backpack on a table in the observation room and lifted the plant and a box of crickets gingerly in his arms. He then passed through a door to the left of the observation window and down some fire escape style stairs to get into the pit. The lab was quite large but he really only needed the hot plate next to some microscopes in the back corner. It would be a fairly rudimentary experiment.
