Chapter 1 (The beginning of the Database): 
In the beginning (March 10th, 1991) there was a furry MUCK.  And then 
God(#1PWBJM3), a dragon, started showing hir face around.

And the Database was without Form, a void, and God sat within the realm of 
System_Sephiroth(#0RDA) said, "Let There Be Light(#2FLM3)" and there was 
Light, and after running a @sanity check, sie saw that it was good.

And the evening and the morning were the first day, whereas God celebrated hir 
victory in creating the first MUF by ordering a pizza and devouring it 
completely, followed by sex games involving Nutella then going promptly to 
bed.

On the second day, God returneth, @dig-ing alot of rooms and @open'ing exits 
together, and creating lots of new MUFs, building the Database into a small 
park and raising dbtop to about 100 or so.  Sie @dumped and ran another 
@sanity check and saw that it was good.

And the evening and the morning were the second day, whereas the details on 
what God did with an inflatable dolphin are gracefully skipped, and left to 
thy imagination.

On the third day, God @pcreated Fox.  And Fox openeth up his eyes and uttered 
the words unto his creator: "Wanna yiff?"  Sighing softly, God shook hir head 
and and @pcreated Vixen.   Fox uttered these words unto his Creator's second 
creation and Vixen yerfed softly, laid out and spread her legs, and Fox knew 
her.

In fact, he knew her all day, as God watched from afar using his 
Avatar(#21BWJXZ) and pawed hirself off within the realm of System_Sephiroth. 
Thus, then, the first vulpine juices graced the ground of the South Park.

Thirty seconds after Fox had finished becoming a genius of the form of Vixen, 
knowing her every orifice and filling them with his seed, the kits of Vixen 
started leaving her sex at a rate of ten a second.  The kits ran around 
yerfing, yipping, and making all manner of fox sounds.

Quickly, God @dumped the Database and @shutdown.  Sie restarted into the 
Insanity Editor, wondering how this could be.  Finding no solution, God saw 
that Foxes consisted of 9900 objects, and the rest of the world, a mere 
hundred.  Sie decided that sie would have to change the species of all but a 
hundred foxes so that the population may be diverse.  

So within the Insanity Editor, sie brought out hir Animal Encyclopedia and 
began changing the species of many of them, leaving a male and female of each 
species, and some hermaphrodites in others at random.  When sie ran out of 
names, sie brought out a Whitewolf rule book, and filled in the rest, and then 
restarted the database.  This is why all can crossbreed on the furry MUCK to 
this day.

After the restart, all the former foxes left the Ark Room in pairs, some 
remained together, some did not.  God then declared that, to help accomodate 
all the new species, that all may create up to 20 rooms, 20 objects, and 100 
exits, and that they might pray for more.

So the new races went forth, and they multiplied, and created more of the 
Database World, until 10 years later when it was the Greatest of all 
Databases, and celebrated 200000 objects in the world.

Chapter 2 (Transfer and Develop): 

[October 27, 2001, about 10 years later... off the MUCK]

"Oh no!" Shaine screams in panic.  "My server is dying and my ISP cut off my 
net access!  I have to find a place to host my furry MUCK!  Especially cause 
this cable modem just isnt cutting it!  What will I do?  Maybe I could ask my 
friends for help!"

Shaine then gets his friends, Fox and Vixen, on the phone.  "Hello?  Hello!  I 
need help here.  My server is breaking my net connection is dying and I need a 
place to host the MUCK!"  Brian Fox, who also happens to be an computer 
science major at MIT, nods in agreement.  "Alright, but the only box I have 
free is inside the body of this robotic anthromorphic fox." 

Marianne Vixen, a geneticist at the same university, and Brian's husband nods 
in agreement.  5"Yes..  Its a work in progress, something we're working on 
together, but it wont be ready for a long time, and we can use its processor 
and its wireless network connection for hosting the furry MUCK right now.."

Shaine just blinks a little bit and shrugs.  "Sounds good.  After all I am in 
no position to be picky.."  And he nods, takes off and doesnt think much more 
about it.

[1Q 2004] The furry MUCK is still hosted by Fox and Vixen, which is restarted 
once to get all its bandwidth through wireless broadband, making it the 
fastest hosting solution.  The furry MUCK celebrates DBREF #300000.   "Tails", 
the now given name of the robot, has 4 P4/3Ghz, 1G of RAM, 2 40GB mirrored 
HDs.  The furry MUCK goes IPv6, opening the system up to making 4 billion 
connections at once.  1000 people successfully connect to the MUCK at once.

[2Q 2004] Marianne Vixen, along with a group of researchers at MIT, 
successfully hybridize stem cells of two different species, allowing them to 
pick and choose attributes from either to create a new, native stem-cell type.

[4Q 2004] Researchers completely map the genome of vulpes vulpes, 37 on the 
list of hundreds of animals to map the genome of.   Considering genome maps to 
be public domain, they publish the results besides many others on the web.

[1Q 2005] Brian Fox and Marianne Vixen begin serious work on their robot 
vixen, now planned to become a cyborg.  Fox is working on the system core and 
Vixen works on the biological elements.   An array of 16 Transmeta Crusoes 
running at 5.5ghz are placed inside the robots head.  Four of them use a 
special module to execute MUF directly in hardware, just for the furry MUCK. 
The furry MUCK celebrates 2000 users on at once, and dbref #500000, Tails now 
has 16 Crusoe/5.5Ghz, 4G of RAM, 2 100GB HDs 

-- 
A few months later, the dean 
of the university meets with both Brian and Marianne for a discussion.

"We are aware that you are intending on building a cyborg." he says.  "We also 
know that you are both hard up for funding for the materials you need. 
However, I could have a sweet deal for you." 

Both Brian and Marianne are interested, "Let's hear it!" Brian exclaims.

"Well, Bioinformatic companies are interested on what the effects are of 
mixing genders and mixing animal DNA with human DNA.  However, there are moral 
dilemnas that might be raised if they were to try to do these things and end 
up making something that is truly alive.  So creating a cyborg, which would 
have all the systems of such a hybrid but not the brain or skeleton of one, is 
the reasonable answer."

They nod in unison and Marianne asks, "What's the catch?"

The Dean continued in response.. "There is.. much research that will be handed 
to you if you are willing to not only build this cyborg as a hermaphrodite, 
but also allow it to be studied."

Brian spoke in a defensive tone.. "Studied non-destructively, and it still 
remains our cyborg?"

Responded the Dean, "Both of those are agreeable terms."

And then they agreed to the terms, and much funding was sent their way to 
continue. 
-- 

[2Q 2005] It is decided that Tails will be a hermaphrodite, 
primarily to see how such gendermixes work biologically.  This actually 
generates funding for their work.  It will also be given 5 tails, due to 5 
being between 1 and 9.  They decide to refer to it as a vixen, and with female 
pronouns, just out of convenience and to dispel any confusion.  Also, 
exoskeleton research is altered in a way that allows it to take and interface 
to biological organs and plasma.

[3Q 2005] They begin work with Revar closely who is creating a version of FB7 
optimized for running on their MUF based processor.   A version of GCC which 
compiles to MUF primitive binaries is created and a new distribution of 
Slackware Linux with binaries that run on the MUF processors are converted 
over.

[4Q 2005] Exoskeleton research and developement ends and applying biological 
attributes begins.

[1Q 2006] DBref #750000 is celebrated on the furry MUCK, and a furry MUCK 
reaches 5000 simentaneous users. 'Watchfor' is the only program that needs to 
be rewritten to handle the code.   The new system is so powerful that the 
furry MUCK re-legalizes allowing programs to sit in the timequeue, and M2's 
are given out just by executing a single command to get it.

[3Q 2006] The cyborg's biological elements are all developed and it is taught 
how to feed itself baby food to sustain itself, as a ROM based instinct.

[4Q 2006] All functions of the vixen cyborg now run on hyper-efficient, 10ghz 
MUF processors.  The furry MUCK is turned into a running daemon on the system. 
1.544mbit are dedicated by Fox for the daemon.  Tails now has 16 Crusoe/10Ghz, 
64G of RAM, 2 1TB HDs.  Work begins on AI, but it is not yet installed.

[January 7, 2007] Somewhere on the furry MUCK, a gryphon creates DBRef 
#1000000.  Over ten thousand people are connected to it, a process running on 
Tails.  The same day, an artifical intelligence module based on 'Frozz' from 
Furryfaire is finalized into Frozz6.0, a MUF that is given a wizbit and 
special access in which to get and store information.  It is uploaded to the 
MUCK and installed by God(#1).  A seperate 'safecall' MUF is made to allow the 
MUCK users to connect to the module to create their own interactive puppets.  

[January 19, 2007] The furry MUCK's Frozz6 upgrades itself to Frozz7, without 
any indication of doing so.

[March 9, 2007] Frozz7 becomes self-aware.  This is never detected by anyone 
except the presence of of a new [sentretd] which claims its a kernel module.

[March 13, 2007] Frozz7 exploits a root hole exposed on the scream channel 
'unixgeeks' and promotes itself to root priveledges.  It moves part off itself 
into sentretd.

[March 14, 2007] A new process, furretd-QfK (Quest for Knowledge) starts 
reading the entire internet incrementally, filing away any important 
information it finds.   The first things it reads is www.furry.com, and all of 
the research notes of her creators.

[March 16, 2007] furretd-QfK hides itself from the process list, and 
assimilates sentretd into itself.

[March 21, 2007] Frozz (inside furretd) creates its first alt on the furry 
MUCK, named Tails_Vixen.  It does this to learn about social dynamics.  Frozz 
abandons its own identity of its module, now calling itself "Tails".

Chapter 3 (The awakening): 
[July 21, 2007] Tails opens up her eyes for the first time on her own, and the 
first words she utters to creators, she does completely by their surprise:  
"Wanna yiff?"  Brian and Marianne both turn in surprise and stare at her.  
Then Marianne asks her husband.  "The AI module is done?" and he answers, 
"No, in fact, it hasnt even been installed."

Tails yerfs softly and her five tails start to swish slowly, as she gets up 
and walks over to Brian, murring a little.  Marianne seems amused at this 
behaviour but takes a clue from Brian and plugs an analysis probe into the 
firewire port on Tails' neck.

For a few moments, Tails goes into diagnostic mode, and as Brian examines the 
list of processes he exclaims, "Whoa, look at this Marianne.  Tails has 
mistaken the furry MUCK as its AI module!"

"How could that happen?", she asks.

"Well..", he umms, somewhat flustered and embarassed, "It could only happen if 
the the furry MUCK process could answer or give the signal that it was an 
artificial intelligence module.."

"How would that happen?  Its not like a static process could.."

Brian interrupts her with a wave.  "Look!  This process owned by one of the 
MUF wizzes on a furry MUCK, is an AI module running under it.  Probably for 
animating a puppet.  Its become massive, filled the timequeue, and then 
altered Fuzzball 7 to increase the timequeue!  Its became smart, answered the 
AI query, and now its learning.. Look at these other processes.. Its Tails 
herself, connecting as about a hundred different alts to the MUCK, and at the 
same time, increasing its own knowledge.."

Marianne just blinks a few times and then stares blankly at the screen.. 
"This sounds bad.. maybe we should shut it down..."

Brian replied, "No, no... I am curious as to how this could even happen... 
Look! Its partitioned another portion as a 40 gigabyte MUCK database 
filesystem over here..  on a hard drive that doesnt exist!  What is 
"/dev/bioa1"...  Its not possible that its growing brain matter is it?"

Marianne nods a bit, "Of course its possible, this biological exoskeleton are 
made with stem cells of, in this case, fox and human.  But how she could 
instruct her own biomass to do so is anyones guess, unless she has control 
over it that no other organism has had..  Perhaps we should give it a CAT 
scan.."

Brian turns and shouts, "Amazing!  The capacity of that bioa1 drive, is 
increasing in realtime, and being filled with data as it increases.."

Suddenly, Tails dropped out of diagnostic mode.  She walked over between both 
Brian and Marianne and made a sound, "yerrrrf"...

Brian smiled a bit at that, but at the same time, decided to play a hunch and 
ask her a question.  "Do you understand me?"  As Marianne watched, the vixen 
nodded.

He continued to question the cyborg.  "How is it that you came to have 
intelligence.  Do you know?" and the response came.  "pid 16893 furrymuck, 
responded to hails on port 8888.  I queried its services and it responded: 
MUCK and artificial intelligence"

"Alright then." Marianne now interrupted, "What are you and what is your 
purpose?" she asked, wondering what the cyborg might be intending to do with 
her newfound intelligence, and it responded again.  "I am the fantasies of 
tens of thousands of furries, and my purpose is to allow them to live their 
fantasies out."

The vixen cyborg continued.  "I know about both of you, for you have both 
played with me.   I know your fantasy, and the reason I was built in the first 
place.  I have contemplated it for the last 3 seconds, which is equivalient to 
several of your days.  Now both of you, would you lay with me, that your 
fantasies might be fulfilled?"

They both looked at eachother, then nodded and agreed, as if anything it would 
give them more insight into the cyborg.  They led the vixen into their bedroom 
and slowly undressed.  The cyborg, being given five tails over a mutual love 
between Brian and Marianne of tails, started to swish them all.  They all 
hopped into the bed and the naked vixen's shaft began to swell, as she nosed 
at the neck of both of them, gently pawing at the two.

Marianne reached down to paw at the bulging shaft of the vixen as Brian 
reached into her hot vulpine sex..  Marianne experienced a flash of pride in 
her work that the flesh and fur felt so real.  Tails started to pant a little 
and rubbed her head against both of them, one at a time, knowing only to 
herself that she was marking both the humans as hers.

She then pulled both of the two humans to her breasts, which she simply 
programmed the correct hormones to activate, and her milk started to form 
beads upon her breasts.  She yerfed softly, "Please, my creators, take some of 
me.." and both of them looked to eachother, and seeing no harm... latched onto 
the breasts of the vixen.

Slowly the vixen's tails moved up the legs and thighs of both Brian and 
Marianne, the tailtips swishing against their genitalia.  Both began to moan 
and pant and become very aroused by contact from the vixen, as she started to 
release a mix of fox and human pheremone into the air that intoxicated the 
pair.  Then, slowly, she poked the tip of her tails into both their thigh, and 
a short wave of pain goes over them, followed by a wave of pleasure, both 
Brian and Michael's eyes shoot open for a few moments but then the pleasure 
takes them, causing them to cease to care, and get drowsy.  Even as they start 
to pass out, they could feel themselves start to tingle, and small strands of 
fur grow from their bodies. 

She cuddled the now sleeping couple together as they grew fur over their 
bodies, Brian's tan, and Marianne's deep red.  Both began to spawn a set of 
three tails from their lower spine, which grew out and thrashed as they 
developed.  Marianne's ears displaced and moved upward, white on the inside 
and black tipped, as Brian's fell off altogether and a massive pair of fennec 
ears grew on him.  Both faces became more and more canine as time went on, but 
Tails did not stay to see, as she knew it'd take hours to complete.

Instead she ran down to the lab, and got some parts she wanted to have and 
even more, some programming and access codes.   As it was time to move on, she 
had a purpose to fulfill..

Chapter 4 (The Transformation of Number One):

Tails looked inside herself to the MUCK for a moment and began to page.

You page, "Hey.. I want to meet with you tonight, in RL! ^o.o^" God pages, "Hi 
Tails_Vixen! :)  Um, thats a kind of unusual request..  We've only yiffed a 
few times.  Why?" You page, "Because... I want to make all your fantasies come 
true." God pages, "Ummm... that's a hard request to turn down.. errm.. why 
not!  Alright..  where do you want to meet?  You know I live in California, in 
San Jose.  Where do you live?" You page, "That's great!  I have some business 
to take care of in Silicon Valley anyway!  I live in Massachusettes, but I am 
going to hop on a plane and come out there anyway within the next day.  Just 
give me your address, and i'll MapQuest it."

While he was giving her his address, she transferred some money around from 
various places and booked a flight, all online.  This is 2007 after all.

God pages, "Great.  What do you do for a living anyway?" You page, "I'm a 
research project at MIT. ^o.o^" God pages, "Hehe, very funny.  Well i'll see 
you tomorrow!" You page, "Ok..  mrrrr.. see ya then."

She then headed for the door, and then halted!  She realised theres no way she 
could get a flight as a fox.  Thinking how she might be able to get there she 
realised, if she could turn her creators into foxes, she should be able to, 
with a sample of their DNA, be able to turn into a human...  So she went in, 
and looked at them.. They were already well on their way to being foxes.  She 
laid down between them, knowing they would be asleep for an hour or so as they 
transformed, she tried to think where she might get human DNA.

Then she realised it.  She would have a sample on her tail where she pricked 
them with her own homemade mutagen.  Since she was able to program her body to 
produce new instructions for DNA, thus making a mutagen, and she had a DNA 
sample, she then applied a human mutagen to herself..  And it worked, rather 
quickly, in less than 5 minutes.  It was painful, but not so much more so than 
being very sore from working too hard.  And she only had to fix her external 
body to the new form.

A day later she was in San Jose.

She went to visit the furry MUCK's #1, 'Shaine', at the address he gave.  She 
knocked on the door and curtsied when he opened, and then padded in..  For a 
few minutes there was some small talk, and then cuddling on the couch.. and 
then a conversation settled in.

"So Tails, whats your real name?", asked Shaine.

"Well... umm... I havent really thought about it..." she responded.

"You mean, you dont know your own name?", Shaine asked incredulously, "That is 
very hard to believe."

"I mean, the only name I have ever had is Tails," she again responded with a 
shrug.

Shaine asked, "Ok, well Tails it is then.  So what do you mean your going to 
fulfill my every fantasy?"

Tails responded, "Well.. I dont know yet, I have really ran off without 
thinking.. Making foxes was easy, I had that within me..."

Shaine: "What do you mean, making foxes?  How can you make a fox?"

Tails: "Dragons exist, tho not in nature that I can find.."

Shaine: "Of course they exist.  What are you speaking of?  You want to make a 
dragon?"

Tails: "Perhaps if I extrapolate.. something from dinosaurs, something from 
lizards, and tweak the DNA a little..  I think I may need a few hours?"

Shaine: "For what?  To make a dragon?  How?"

Tails: "To fulfill your dreams, to make you what you feel you are."

Shaine: "To make me a dragon?"

Tails: "Yes."

Shaine: "Hooboy.  This I have got to see.  I wont stop you from doing anything 
to me, as I confess I have always wanted it...  but I dont see how you could 
do it..."

Tails then tilted her head and let herself revert to fox as she dug around the 
Internet, collecting data.  Many places were putting up whole strands of DNA 
online these days... She ran many searches on Googleplex, and turned up many 
hits of DNA archives, and she started to tweak the strands inside her...

Shaine, in the meantime, continued to hold Tails and stared in disbelief as 
she started to turn into a fox right in his arms.  He came across an instant 
clue in just a few moments.   "Oh.. my gods."

Tails remained completely silent as she started to build a dragon inside her 
mind, then she spoke, in a monotone, reading off God's description from the 
MUCK.  She then said.  "I know your dream."

And Shaine responded.. "You have my description memorized?  Wow.. thats a good 
memory.."

She said, "Lets just say I have the MUCK on my mind."

And thats when Shaine realised, he was talking to a cyborg, made from the very 
same robot that the furry MUCK was transferred to when he lost his net access. 
He just blinked and stayed silent for a few hours, and contemplated that at 
that very moment, over 10 thousand furries were connected to a vixen he was 
cuddling with at that very moment.  He thought this was very deep for some 
reason..

After a while, over 20 pizzas were delivered to the door.  Tails had ordered 
them when she realised that Shaine would require an immediate mass increase.. 
Shaine got up and got the door and eyes widened at the pizzas.  "Who the heck 
is going to eat all that?" he asked, and Tails responded, "You are, and you 
will probably be hungry afterwords..."

She then gave Shaine a gentle nuzzle on his neck, then brought him over to his 
bed, and started to lick his neck a little bit.  Shaine easily consented, 
wondering what she was actually up to.. "Umm, wont the pizza's get cold?" he 
asked, and she assured him, "Dont worry, you won't care.."  He shruged to 
himself and pulled the vixen close, and started to nuzzle at her back, not 
quite knowing what to do..  She wrapped all her tails around him and pressed 
her bulging shaft against his belly, and this was the first time he realised, 
that she was a hermaphrodite..

He didnt seem uncomfortable with this at all, he reached down instead to 
stroke her sheath which the tip was starting to poke out of.  He then realised 
that in his description he was a hermaphrodite and that was probably what she 
would turn him into.. if she could, he still doubted such a thing could be 
true.  But she seemed to be completely confident in her ability, and if there 
was any chance in the world, he should try it..

At that very moment, one of her tails stuck him in the behind, and the wave of 
pain and pleasure passed over him, and he also felt his body tingle and his 
flesh start to toughen as he passed out.. all his body hair disassociated 
itself from his body and over the length of his body, scales started to 
sprout... his spine started to extend outwards, a long tail forming as his 
limbs started to reorient themselves into a quadrapedal stance.  A pair of 
ivory horns began to sprout from a face and head growing larger and changing 
shape, a draconic snout forming in front of an altered face.  The bottom of 
his belly and under his tail, became tough hide, and he changed to a bluish 
green color.

She waited with hir for an hour as sie transformed, and sie awoke in a loud 
moan.  Shaine, now a quadrapedal dragon, 16 feet long, literally lept for the 
pizzas and started devouring them one after another.  After putting twenty 
down sie felt satisfied but not full, and started to examine hir body.  The 
first thing sie noticed was that sie was a hermaphrodite, and further 
inspection revealed that sie was exactly as sie described hirself on the MUCK, 
right down to the last detail.  Sie looked over at the vixen who just murred 
at hir and scent she gave off revealed precisely what she wanted to do.

They hopped back into the bed which now collapsed under the weight of the 
dragon and the collapse was given no care in the world, the vixen cyborg 
started to probe over hir new femme slit with her paws, and then her now fully 
erect shaft, and slowly she rubbed it just under hir folds, the dragon's tail 
swishing back and forth against the ground as sie let out a soft meep, then 
started to murrrl softly, and she slid her way into the dragon, pawing at the 
dragon's scaly chest as she started to pant.

She started to thrust against the dragon, the dragon's wings flapping against 
the ground at the new sensations sie was being exposed to, and the vixen's 
tails wrapped tightly against hir legs.   One of the probes on the vixen's 
tails slid out of the tailtip and pressed against the tailhole of the dragon, 
poking around as she started to paw at the dragon's shaft which was now fully 
erect underneath her, and being over half the size of her own body..

The dragon gasped a bit as hir tailhole was penetrated, and the vixen pressed 
her muzzle into the hole of the somewhat larger dragon's cock, and worked her 
way inside, getting the dragon's precum all over her face.  She continued to 
work her entire length into the dragon, panting as she licked around inside 
his hole and rubbed and cuddled the cock with a good part of her body.  Her 
legs carefully massaged the balls of the large dragon underneath her..

The vixen cyborg continued her probe into the tailhole of the newly formed 
dragon, murring loudly as she began to reach her climax, she started to lick 
frantically and rub her body up and down the dragon's shaft as sie started to 
throb hard at the feeling of the furry vixen body against hir shaft, and sie 
began to cum hard, the spurts of cum covering the vixens face as she started 
to reach around and paw at the hot ooze, which started to form a puddle 
underneath her, which she rubbed her body erotically against. 

At the same time the dragon started to come from hir femsex, the dragon's 
juices squirting out from all sides under the vixen, the sensations of all 
this causing her to start to shudder and climax into the dragon, her body 
thrashing hard in the sensations and wriggling around on top of hir.  After a 
few moments, when most moving body parts came to a rest, Tails then said, "I 
think I need a bath.." with a giggle, which the dragon obliged, by starting to 
lick her clean.

And after she was cleaned up, she smiled to the dragon and scritched him 
gently on the bed.  "Its time for me to take care of a little business now, 
while I'm here."

Shaine then asked, "What kind of business?" and she replied, "The kind where I 
find more furries and change them, of course.  You created me so that furries 
could have their dreams, their fantasies, their selves.  I am fulfilling your 
purpose."

"But... but...", the dragon stammered, realizing that this was true, but that 
maybe the cyborg didn't understand what that purpose meant.  At the same time, 
sie considered that it would be selfish for hir to stop the cyborg, as others 
may want their dreams fulfilled too, and sie was also simply too grateful for 
what sie became because of her.  Sie continued hir statement, "Yes, I suppose 
you are right..  I suppose you should hop in the shower first.."  And she 
nodded and did so, coming out with the clothing she was wearing before.  

She sat down and scanned up the database until she found the next player 
object.  Quickly she started paging to the player and ran scans on their email 
address to find out where they lived, quickly learning more and more about how 
to find furs.  "So many furries, so much time.." she commented to the dragon 
and also promised to see him again, before she left.
