Chapter 297

"You do know that we aren't quite sure how to handle you. In some ways you are the natural evolution of the Lucy program, but in others you were thrust upon us. We could have just implanted the information I am going to give you today, but it seemed more 'right' to discuss it with you. That is something we would never do with a Lucy, or even an Eve." The man doing the lecturing to me was one of the doctors, or engineers who invented me. Well invented me, if you went by the theory that I wasn't still me from before.

It was my belief that I was still me, just in a different wrapper. Like upgrading the wrapper of an old familiar candy bar. I actually chose to let him go on uninterrupted. I could easily have disputed his belief system, at least where it concerned me.

Some of the social science people have been given more input into this experiment, than I would have liked. Nonetheless you seem to be managing better than anyone expected. You handled the retaliation for your shooting without it becoming national news and we didn't have to bail you out at all. The social science people consider that a big success.

We haven't had to stage an accident to get rid of you, or to explain you away, so I guess you are a success. We were concerned about the number of man hours needed to manage a Maxine class robot, but you have proven a real treasure. You have required very little supervision and only a little support. All in all, you are a better long term investment than either of your predecessors.

The one thing no one expected was that you could actually function so well in the social environment. I guess I truly mean sexually. None of us could have guessed how well your memory would adapt to the receptors in your new body. We can't give you intensity of feelings, those your own memory provide."

"I'm not sure I understand that," I suggested.

"Okay, a penis in your mouth produces the same feeling exactly on each of the strokes. The first and the last are exactly the same. All the ones in between are exactly the same as well. However your computer processes those feelings along with your memories of how it felt back in the day. So that in the end the intensity of the experience builds just as it did when you were alive. Your circuits hit overload and something exactly like an orgasm happens. The physical reaction is bases on your memories of how the event felt. It has nothing to do with what the computer sends to the muscles. It's really quiet amazing."

"So that explains how it works, I suppose," I said in agreement. So how do men react to it?"

"There in lies the problems. If we want you to be able to use sex as a weapon. The same way you were known to do before the shooting, then we need to refine it. After we finally made the decision to do that, we began studying it all."

"Fortunately for us you have enough scars so that we can open you at those points to do most of the additional work. We need to change a few things but the overlay that would be skin on real people is easy to repair. It will leave very small marks, not even scars really."

"Okay so you are going make me a slut capable droid," I suggested.

"Your best weapon is always going to be your quick mind. It is what you can do that Lucy and Eve could not. We were able to keep the essence of your mind working."

"Okay so what is the down side of all this?" I asked seriously.

"You have to remember that you are no longer a human being. You are going to feel and evaluate things different from humans. We might not agree with you on everything, but we will always have the last word. That goes against your history and very nature. I'm not sure how we will reconcile it."

"Maybe we won't have to. How about we forge a loose understanding. Something like you give me the desired outcome and then I help design the path to it. I'm sure you guys know a lot more than me. You should know I have always been willing to listen to those who are more expert than me."

"Yes we do know that about you. It's why we have let you plod along in the Podunk town learning your way along. Not that we haven't been learning right along with you."

"Okay, so what all are you planning to change about me?" I asked.

"Our physiologist have been working overtime to build new components for you. We have a new appliance that goes from inside your mouth all the way through what would be your stomach and between your hips. It's kind of a brand new body cavity thing."

"There are a few new computer internal functions we are adding. They will come on line when you need them, but you will know you have them so that you can use them."

"What about the Eve model?" I asked. "How much like me are they going to be?"

"Physiologically they will be very similar. We have actually been using them as test subjects. We wanted to have the feel and function of it exactly right before we installed it on you."

"Feel?" I asked.

"Well there are receptors so that the Eve model knew when things were happening. She wasn't able to assess them as you will be able to do, but she knew when a man filled her with his penis. She also knew when he ejaculated inside her.

Not having the first hand memories, she just knew that it was a pleasant sensation for her and that it excited and pleased the man. The best response we could get from the Eve model was pleasure in a maternal way. She never really enjoyed it as you have already been able to do. You could do it without the full sensory stimulations. You should be able to enjoy it even more with the upgrade. At least that is our preferred outcome."
