Has Science Failed Me
#1 of An Elemental Pleasure
"Run it again," a slim figure yelled down the hallway, "we need that simulation to be finished before the end of today." *** The woman yelling was a felinoid named Sophia, a very important scientist at the University of Furry Sciences. She was the head of the Physics Department and a close personal friend of Stephen Hawk, who lost both wings from a crash during his childhood. Sophia was close to forty years old in human years, but she worked out whenever she could to keep fit and she loved to mountain bike. Her muscles were strong but not so big as to look masculine. She was around six feet in height and taller than most of her colleagues. Her fur was a grayish blue with dark grey spots on her belly, crotch and neck. Her hair was blonde with pink tips and she could never seem to keep it completely under control. Her eyes were a deep shade of cerulean that hid the wisdom of twenty years of constantly learning new things. She used her tail almost every day to hold things whenever her hands were full, which comes in handy in a lab full of potentially harmful chemicals. It was longer than average and she had to make sure it never got caught in anything. Sophia graduated college with a master's in Physics, and a bachelors degree in chemistry. Over the past twenty years she managed to obtain a bachelors in archeology, history and theology too. Sophia knew many more things worthy of degrees, she just never had the time to fully earn them. Sophia considered her work, her fitness and her personal life altogether more important than some silly degree. It's not like I would earn her a higher place in her job, she was already at the top. Their current research project was one she had been wanting to have a try at for over a decade. Their current project was to finally find a complete theory for the unification of physics. The university had a huge twenty mile long supercollider installed a few years ago, it was helping them immensely, although it cost around two million every run of the machine. There was some anonymous company paying for it all, not the government, but Sophia didn't care about them. What she wanted more than anything was to see humans and fur's inhabiting the universe without having to deal with the light-speed limit, and the research they are doing now may lead to that actually happening. But until then it was still a pipe dream. Until then she had to keep working as diligently as possible. Until then, Sophia had to be patient. Although this test today should answer most of the important questions she had, but not the most important ones of all. Is it possible to move at a negative speed? Can we create a wormhole in three dimensional space without intersecting with matter inside it? And even more questions that can't be explained in under three pages of text. Most of them having to do with quantum mechanics and other specialized fields, fields in which you would have to be insane to understand. That's why they put Sophia on the project. Sophia's mental stability was never a question, she was just a quirky woman. She had the ability to understand problems that seem illogical to others, then make predictions that never worked out when she did the math. Most of her unanswerable predictions came true. Some lower members involved in the project entertained themselves while working by creating small jokes about how she was either blessed or possessed. She was very well regarded in the scientific community for her work on creating the common view of Membrane Theory. Sophia was able to take the raw data and compress it into a simple equation only a few sentences long. Most of the University though considered her an outsider though, she was never in any kind of relationship with anyone. Sophia never seemed to care about anything but her work and most thought she didn't even care about that. A great many people thought she was simply one of those people in search of creating pure order in the world, a world molded out of the law of large numbers she was not willing to accept. One of her favorite quotes is from one of the most famous scientists ever, Albert Furstein. The quote goes, "God does not play dice with the universe." Although she was very interested in quantum physics it was this belief which could not allow even her to understand it. Sophia could not accept that the universe is simply the mean of multiple results governed by the uncertainty principle. So she kept working and working. Sophia was always polite and gentle in her studies and teachings, no one had ever seen her angry. She seemed perfect in every way, and that's what she would have them to believe. In truth she had stray thoughts that even she couldn't explain to herself how wrong they were, how deranged they were. She kept those contained though, she had far too much common sense to act on them. If anyone knew these her reputation would be ruined, even if they were just stray thoughts with no force behind them. The only thing they meant is that somewhere under her perfect exterior lies a dark side of her even she knew not of. Without knowing this nor what her future had in hold for her, Sophia went back to work on her theories. *** Sophia walked down the halls of the testing facility to an observation station installed to overview the supercollider's results, status and condition. As she walked numbers pulsed through her head, abstract multidimensional shapes folded over each other and she contemplated creating a program to visualize gravity webs over the entire known universe. Not all at the same time of course, even geniuses have limits, but she did think of them. She arrived at the station after about fifteen minutes later and was greeted with the usual grunts of her fellow colleagues working as hard as they could to make all of the deadlines. They had to do two more runs on the collider today, and interpret the results. Today, for the second year, they were still trying to find either a higgs boson or maybe some other exotic particle. For the last six years the research group had pretty much been wandering around trying to find something interesting, they had succeeded in discovering a great many things but hopefully they would find something that could be of some actual use to the world. "Sophia," a close personal friend and fellow researcher called for her, "we seem to have an anomaly in the system." His name was Tom and he had been working with Sophia for over seven years. "An anomaly," she said walking over lightly swooshing her tail behind her, "what kind of anomaly." "It seems we have detected a formerly unknown particle, and it's not coming from the collider. It seems it is coming from an outside source," he replied somewhat excitedly. "Bring up the data," she asked him and in a moment the computer screen came up with up to fifty windows, "What is this?," she asked him. "It's the results you said you wanted, weird isn't it." "You said this was only one new kind of particle?" "It is, this particle has a spin of three. We have never observed that before." "You do know a particle with a spin of three can't exist in our universe. Why does each one have a different mass and charge?," she asked pointing at the screen. "We don't know, we were hoping you could answer that," he replied, "We did learn though that the mass is proportional to the charge and that the particle seems to pulsate at a increasing rate." "What the fuck," Sophia muttered under her breath, "Run a full diagnostic on the system to see if it's a malfunction." "We already have," Tom replied. "This is mind-blowing, start recording all data on this particle. See where the source is while you're at it will you," she asked him. "What could this mean," Tom asked Sophia. "I don't know," she replied with a sigh. Over the next hour Sophia was in one of the buildings near the research facility talking with Stephen hawk on this subject, but as usual there was not a single breakthrough. On her way back Tom called her on her cell phone, "We found the source, and you're not going to believe it." "Well, tell me," she said back. "The source," he said drawing it out to make it overly dramatic, "is in the center of New Mexico." "WHAT?" "Do I really need to repeat myself? We all heard you, even down here." "Get me a detailed map of the source, and we need to find out what this particle means." "Will do," he replied and hung up. Sophia walked to the bus stop and got onto the bus headed in her houses direction. The entire time thinking about this new and strange particle. Her heart was pounding and her head was throbbing when a thought not of her own entered her head. It was one word, Heartbeat. 'What the hell' she thought 'that was strange.' She arrived home a little while later and thought to herself, 'I need a release.' So, she went into her room and started to take off her clothes. First she took off her shirt and pants then Sophia walked over to a seemingly normal dresser drawer. She looked through it for a certain pair of socks and when she found them she turned them upside down and a key fell out. Sophia walked over to another drawer and opened it, inside she saw nothing. Over to the side she found a small keyhole and inserted the key. She felt the click and then she saw an outline of a box in the bottom of the drawer. "Ah, come to mama," she said to herself as she removed the contents of the box, a nice pink and blue nine and a half inch vibrator. She removed her bra then, revealing her luscious breasts with small but hard nipples. She sat on the edge of her bed and for a minute just rubbed her breasts. Sophia laid down on the bed and rubbed her tight cunny through her moist panties. After a minute of teasing herself Sophia almost ripped off her panties and started to finger herself with increasing speed. Then she proceeded to turn the vibrator on. She teased her clit with it for a few minutes then she craved more pleasure, she started to insert the soft pleasure device into her cunt inch by inch. She used her tail to lightly caress her breasts and to simply rub over her body. It wasn't long till Sophia had filled herself with the vibrator. She started to pull it out and got a nice contraction from it. This process repeated itself over and over again till you could barely see the vibrator it was moving so fast. Sophia stated to notice the build-up she had come to look forward to. The onset of her orgasm was somehow different this time. She didn't even bother to think about it then, all she wanted was release. Release is what she received too. Her body convulsed and her vaginal wall contracted around the vibrator with amazing force. All her worries of the day seemed to be lost in a river of pleasure. Her juices flooded out from around the object in her cunt and flowed out into the bed. Her mind was lost for a moment then she started to calm down, lost in the afterglow. She lost count of time and drifted into sleep, with the vibrator still inside her. Her dreams were pleasant and comforting for a moment. Then, all at once, a voice deposited itself into her mind, and it said, 'You are a being truly worthy of our prize, come find us at the place where your "scientists" have found our heartbeat and declared it a "particle". We may not know your knowledge, but we know your mind. Seek us out.' With that Sophia wake up. "Wha," she said to herself, then realized what had just happened. "Has science failed me?"
