Wishful Thinking...

[Tuesday Pajamas]

A possible explanation for the weirdness -

Early February, and in a basement in Pasadena, Bernadette prods carefully at a petri dish.

It isn't easy, being a mad scientist. Especially when you are still working your way through college. They don't exactly give out grants for her area of biochemical research. She has no patience with this wishy-washy liberal nonsense about human testing. She's making them happier, isn't she? She misses her old college tutor – dear Doctor Woodrue had been so understanding.

The scope of the experiment is simple. All she's doing is giving nature a little nudge. Helping along the hormones, amping up the pheromones, tweaking the dial.

Her initial chosen test subject was her co-worker, Penny. And circumstance gave her the ideal candidate, in the neighbour, Leonard. Watching them interact at the Cheesecake Factory, he was already hormonally enslaved to her, there was no need for intervention on his behalf.

But now it's time to bring out the big guns, a new approach. Holds up the vial, and the light gleams weirdly off her spectacle frames. If she can jump start Sheldon goddamn Cooper, then the world is her mollusc of choice. Shame about the degradation of intelligence, but sacrifices have to be made in the pursuit of progress.
