My name is Jason Gates. At 34, I'm the head of the R&D department at Biokines. You'll probably never have heard of the company, because we're very secretive and contract for the military. Let me tell you how I started.
I was 22 when I started my Master's degree in Biochemistry. I had a Bachelor in Science, and had a research interest in hormones, especially adrenaline and serotonin. For those not interested in science, these are the hormones that regulate our levels of excitement and happiness. You may have heard the term 'adrenaline junkie' or watched the movie Crank with Jason Statham. Adrenaline pumps through your body when you go on a roller coaster. Serotonin is the hormone that many antidepressants target. The combination of having these two in your body makes you feel amazing and invincible. It's a high that many people chase time and time again.
I've learned to control that high.
My Master's work revolved around using proteins to deliver certain molecules to the body. The special part about my work is that I could use an external trigger to release the molecules. I essentially found a way to create a protein package that would open in response to a certain frequency. Without going too deep into the science, the vibration of the molecule at a certain frequency would give it a certain chance to release its molecule. More of these molecules would be released if there were more packages or if the duration of the signal was longer. These packages could be ingested, where they remained in the body for a short period of time, ready to release their contents.
A few years into my research, I figured out how to put morphine inside these packages. I had also developed a transmitted that gave off the exact frequency needed to release the morphine. This meant that at the touch of a button, morphine could be released into the body, providing pain relief. After doing some testing with animals, I quickly contacted the military to see if they would be interested in using my technology in the field. I demonstrated to them that soldiers could drink a liquid containing the packages before heading to the battlefield, and in the unfortunate instance that they were hurt in battle, they could quickly eliminate their pain with the transmitter they carried. Their response was overwhelming, and orders came flooding in. As the creator and the sole owner of the patent, I quickly became rich.
With the extra capital that I now had, I created Biokines. I've never been good at the business aspect of things, so I decided to be the head of Research and Development and leave the role of CEO to someone else. As the head of R&D, I've been able to tweak my design, but more importantly, keep it away from the prying eyes of everybody else.
I won't bore you with the details of my next decade of research, so I'll summarize the important steps that I've done. I quickly figured out how to put adrenaline into the packages. More military contracts came in for this one, since it meant that soldiers could basically have limitless energy. Now I really had the resources to play around and create whatever I wanted. The next step was to do the same thing with serotonin. With my background in Biochemistry, this was child's play. It took a little more time to figure out how to package endorphins, which produce the high you get from running. I'm still currently working on how to package Insulin, which treats Diabetes. I figure that will give me enough money to retire.
I also figured out a way to predictably release certain amounts of the hormone. I developed an algorithm that would use the initial amount of protein, and the likelihood that the remaining protein molecules would release their contents, to calculate the strength and duration of the signal I transmitted. I also found how to get the protein to be absorbed in the body, so that the signal could be used at any time up to 1 week after consumption.
The cherry on top of my research was creating the perfect transmitter. The military were using these bulky boxes about the size of a deck of cards. It was useful since it could be found very quickly in an emergency situation, but it was also small enough to comfortably keep in a pocket. However, I was able to create a transmitter that was thin and flat, and it was only a minor step to turn it into a ring. Although battery life was an issue, I managed to fit a smaller version of what they have in those motion-powered watches, so that the ring would charge whenever I moved my hand.
I know I'm throwing a lot of different details at you, but this is the culmination of almost a decade's worth of research. In summary, I have created a substance that, for one week after ingestion, can release molecules that make someone feel high and excited, and I can control this with my ring.
Let me stress that nobody else in the world knows about my research.
Now, I'm not writing this story to tell you about my research activities. That's not what you're interested in. No, you're interested in how I used my work to obtain certain skills of persuasion. However, there's just one small thing to add. Since my company has been doing so well, I've had quite a bit of free time. I've used some of that time to have a little fun, but I've also done some extensive reading regarding addiction and social psychology. I'll explain this part as I go along.
For a long time, I hadn't had a good opportunity to test my invention. This changed when we hired a new summer intern. She was a bright medical student who had heard about my work, specifically my attempts to package Insulin for delivery. As a future doctor, she wanted to treat people with Diabetes, and was excited to get some experience in the lab. The other lab staff were happy to have her brilliant mind around, but I was more interested in something else.
Her name was Jenna, and she was young and eager to get her name and work published. The first thing I noticed was her small waist and perky tits. When I first saw her, she was wearing one of those scrub tops with a deep V cut, and a hint of cleavage provided a very tantalizing view. I initially guessed she wore a 34C, and I was later proven right. When I finally looked up from her chest, I noticed pale green eyes that were framed by black glasses to make her look more like a bookworm. Her face was framed by wavy red hair that went down to her breasts.
Jenna was being given a tour by one of our other researchers, Lauren. As they walked past my office, I waved at them to come in and say hi. I introduced myself and shook Jenna's hand, welcoming her to the lab. As they turned to continue their tour, I stared at Jenna's ass as it swayed out of my office. I could hardly contain my excitement as I thought about carrying out a few slightly unethical experiments.
