Reproductive Health

Skimming through the companies web page, you decide to apply to be a research subject for their Reproductive Health department.

Your life, which seemed to be going nowhere, suddenly seems like it is on fast-forward after you submitted the application to NovaTech. The very next day you got a phone call asking you to come in for a physical, to make sure you are healthy enough for their study. A physical that was scheduled for that same day.

Despite the whirlwind of apprehension and curiosity swirling within you, assurances from NovaTech regarding compensation for your time, and the possibility of an immediate start to a new job should you pass the examination, quelled your hesitations. You clear your admittedly not-very-busy schedule and head to the appointment.

NovaTech Labs is located in the glossy, downtown area of the city. Full of skyscrapers and entirely too much traffic. Eventually, you pull into their underground parking garage and make your way to the elevator. It takes you straight to the main lobby.

You check in at the front desk and are immediately ushered back into an exam room that fits right in with this hospital-like research facility.

The exam is quick and easy, going through all the normal stuff and soon the doctor declares you fit for participation in one of their studies. They have a few going on. The doctor explains that he can’t explain too much about them to you because they don’t want to skew the results, but each study comes with a different set of restrictions that you will have to adhere to for the duration of the study which in most cases is one year.

Some of the studies will mean that you have to stay at NovaTech for the full year, even sleeping in the building in a room they will provide and only eating their food they give you. Others leave you free to go home, but will require you to wear some kind of equipment at all times.
