Transparent cube about 15 feet high floated in the middle supported by eight steel cables. “It’s look like someone has sliced out a piece of jungle and brought it here.” “It is because someone has! This is the genuine piece of unique ecosystem found in remote valley near India-Pakistan border. Field research in that area is somewhat… complicated… due to political reasons, you know. Our expedition already lost two hired local porters to casual bombardment. That’s why University recalled the research party and financed transportation of the sample to more civilized region.” Doc grinned. “And then I just had to press some levers to get it into _my_ lab. This will get us a juicy grant for sure!” “Oh, that’s where you spent the previous grant, Doc!” “Well, the science sometimes calls for dear sacrifices. Speaking of sacrifices, Nancy, I would like you to take part in this new project in most immediate way.” “Huh?” “Since your PhD research paper deals with symbiotic systems I think you will be interested in studying one of the most complicated of them from the inside. I mean literally.” ...

“Tonight it’s time for a special experiment,” said Doc patting me on my head. “Are you sure you can assist me on that matter, Nancy?” I tried to nod my head, though my current posture didn’t allow much movement. I was standing on my knees on a metal lab table, my neck, wrists and ankles were locked wide apart in thick black plastic stocks fixed to the opposite sides of the table top. I was bent over the padded metal frame running across the table, my head was fixed on a level with my feet. My bottom was protruding back and up and my breasts were dangling below, nipples touching the cold metal surface. My white lab coat laid folded properly on a couch beside the table as well as blouse, skirt and undies. Shoes went under the couch. I was totally naked, for the sake of purity of the experiment. ...
