Chapter 9 - Club with a decadent playboy

Soon enough she get her dirty clothes and wet it while her face feels shame the microexpressions on her face showed cringe as she brush the clothes with her hands even soaking the clothes with water

Ava facepalms herself as she waves her face in embarrassment, well there is nothing to do about it. After she finished brushing it, she went out of her room and placed the clothes on a washing machine utilizing some sort of smoke that can eradicate bacteria within minutes. As soon as she finished she went back to her hotel room with the card and then place it on the fences of her balcony for it to dry 

Ava went to the main lobby and ate cafeteria food. She had quite enough money and was ready for non synthetic food, that she signals the waiter to her table

Ava looked on the menu waiting for the waiter to attend to her table. How regal and classic, lifting a finger trying to signal a waiter to her presence while staring at the menu. The waiter recognized her signal and walked near her table

The waiter asks, "Hello miss, you seem to be in a good day instead of taking food from the buffet it appears you want to.. Buy something, what's on your mind good ma'am" Ava let out a little laugh before making a declaration, "I am ready for lobster sir" Ava handed out her card and requested, "Please have it processed." 

The waiter gracefully accepts the card and brings a portable device that has the card scanned where it processed the transaction. Soon enough the waiter smiles and returns the card to her where Ava slowly takes the card back to her keep

Ava felt assured and asked, "It's all good now, sir. What's the estimated time for my lobster recess" the waiter checks his watch, "in about 10 minutes, miss your lobster recess is of guarantee" Ava eyes widen with a smile, "Well then see to it" 

The waiter then leaves, giving Ava the space she needed while waiting for her lobster to arrive. 

She checked on her phone and looked on InterChat - she scroll though media watching people doing their thing, and here it is Henry wasn't even following her at all there she had too much anonymity and there he is a young dashing man on a yacht, extravagant his life is, although she might see him as a shallow pig she does feel a particular debt to him. 

She's also aware that it's quixotic that the two of them would have such a serious relationship and would only be driven by lust or casual romance, a bad boy flair more like a playboy flair who's incredibly cunning and swag. He still has 100 hundred thousand followers which is sufficiently high but not super big

She also checked the trends today before getting bored. She let her menu down and looked at the people around her, them sitting, chatting around tables basically just having a good time. 

She watched them and smiled as she continues to wait for her lobster, she waited and waited until 10 minutes have arrived, both the butter sauce and the lobster were prepared for her delight as it was carried by the waiter, the waiter handed out the sauce and the lobster he stands straight announced "here is your non synthetic delight. Ma'am have a good day" with a mellifluous rhythm to it 

Ava drooled at the lobster, she took out her utensils and start cutting it, from the view the lobster was definitely cracked with laser and was done delicately allowing Ava to get parts of it without having to crack the lobster herself, she looks at it and utilizes her utensils cutting parts of it and dipping into butter sauce, eating it. She continues relishing it to her tummy where she finishes the lobster, burping satisfied. She cleaned her mouth with a tissue then went upstairs and cleaned her hygiene and body and prepared her clothes for work

Ava felt full and told herself, "I am satisfied" she didn't wear her chic clothes this time it was regular clothes, the whole thing about chic clothes with a blouse and skirt was to tangle with the impressions of others to her liking. But is Ava really going to be wearing regular clothes?

Ava thinks to herself trying to contemplate that she checks her messages, no messages from Henry - looks like she won't have to talk to him nor meet him, but then comes the feeling of dread what if she is forgotten by him. She grabs her own head trying to control herself, it feels like she might go insane if she doesn't get an elixir of his or other people's attention. 

Either way, she decides to pull the thought and fear out of her head. She still wants to know her father's whereabouts, that's what matters for now. Ava prepares her regular working clothes to work, sporting a trench coat and a tight sleeveless long knit dress with working pants. She begins to disembark to her job. Ava begins to disembark, she out of her hotel she's hiding her figure with her trench coat as she makes her way to her work. 

As she went to the train, she arrived in the research facility and saw the same two security guards, especially the security guard whom she charmed for a bit to be her driver. Ava puts up on facade, addressing the volunteer driver "Hello" in an endearing voice as she wave her hand in the air smiling at him, she made her voice coy, "I thank you for the ride back at my place" 

the security guard blushes as she walked past him, he looks at his other buddy as he elbows at him and says, "Well, it's the same girl who kiss me on the cheeks" the other security guard bites his own teeth, while blurting "Shut up you virgin" the security guards opens the door, Ava shows her job ID with the code "DecryptToTheNewRace" said "Just making sure" as Ava enters the research facility, she entered the research facility where it hums a lot of technologies, her job as a junior software engineer about to begin. 

Ava went to her place in the computer room as she turned on the computer as she did database and programming. She did some optimization on their computing and data analysis programs. 

She continued to do programming and software analysis, she checked the repository and pushed it. Yep, just regular programming. Nothing to write home about, she went up and decides to get snacks and went back to her office she looks at bugs, she checked if there are security flaws in the software, if there were any she reported it to the team for a fix 

Ava muttered, "This is boring, but hey it at least let me pass up some time" meanwhile on the other side of the research facility, a tall guy with black hair who was working on the genome synthesis with nanotechnology, trying to synthesize human dna with genome, this person appears to be a tall man with eyeglasses while his hands and arms now look mechanical he was no human, he was a guy who had augmented himself beyond human comprehension while wearing a hood, he looks like a tech priest. Not only that he was wearing a breather of sorts and his eyes are all weary, as he hasn't even slept for days

A scientist approached him with confidence, "Hey… Your daughter, ahem I mean your subject is now working on the research facility" the guy who is still looking at the display of the terminal showing a synthesized human DNA with nanoparticles and asked, "And so what about it?" showing indifference 

The scientist teasingly asks if Ava has some social modules to her. The man rotated at his own back and answered, "No, not at all. I didn't know what kind of gender she would be, she was merely an embryo that we extracted from a volunteer lady placed on a self sustaining pod we didn't know her gender at all in her early development, as she was still small" 

The scientist restates himself, "You are not answering my question. Were there social modules on her?" the male answered, "No, not at all she was just a designated subject of my experiments. Show me new things about her" 

The scientist gestured politely, "Yes, Sir Victor" scientist shows Ava playing with Thea and Brian, Thea being a silver-haired girl, brian being the kid with black hair and round face. Victor looked at the CCTV footage of her playing with the kids and said "Look at the ruckus, those kids whom she's playing made a mess on the facility, albeit it is interesting that the kids managed to outsmart one of my earlier subjects. The era of the new world is coming, and I will be the one who ushers it. No aliens would be part of my new breed of overmen" 

Victor waltzes out but the scientist stops his back touching his back, "Now, now you are being dramatic. I want to ask you how this subject of yours even learned to socialize? "Victor looked at him being somewhat annoyed, "I don't KNOW! Don't ask me. I didn't expect her to be a XX chromosome when I first did my genome synthesized nanites on her stage. I had to do it with some female, now I am infertile beyond repair" 

Victor further speculates, "Though she may take from her mother's DNA. Possibly still retaining some human features, and her elevated need for oxytocin... which forms the hypothetical basis for her behavior. I suspect there are people who are congenitally cyborgs that still have embodied human essence. I have made sure Ava was emotionally stunted for some time until she decides to deviate" 

"Oh well, to answer your question, I didn't install any social modules on her. I hope you understand numbskull! You just don't understand the complexity of my research here" Victor trying to be condescending towards the man himself

The scientist emoted while flapping his hand on him, "yeah, right. Wouldn't surprise me if your daughter became a celebrity or a fashion design model than some programmers and scientist the world is hoping" 

Victor breathed as he put his hand on his own chin or under the breather, "it is true though, my subject has been rather making unpredictable decisions. I wonder how much is she willing to sacrifice to climb the ladder"

Victor decided to move on, "I have other business to attend to, so if you can excuse me I will go" Victor approaches the obsidian like door like an airlock where it opens and goes through it. 

The scientist facepalms himself asking himself, "Why am I even working with this person in the first place? This guy is so weird" The scientist looking at the picture of the subject who's already a young adult said, "I don't think he's telling me the truth. Thinking about it I don't think she would look this good. Who knows maybe the father was good looking in his younger days"

The scientist spoke to himself now in imagination, "I wonder. What if I were to spark a chat with her" the scientist access database and check on subject #1 with a volunteer female, the first ever child to ever be experimented on for nanotech infusion. 

Others like Thea and brian were the early ones from families willing to give out their children during pregnancy for a better life and better augmentation, they are not simply giving their child out of desperation it was an altruistic effort in their cases, other is to solve their ancestral eugenics problem - all faults of the low socioeconomic world and unlucky parents who felt ashamed of their heritage and wanted to improve it. Genesis Innovation is known to be generous to struggling people for their plan to extract their embryo from pregnancy since most of the embryo donors were all middle class and came from poverty 

The scientist looks at the pods containing embryos floating with translucent liquid with bubbles popping out. The scene disappears as it returns to Ava working in a company, she looks at monitors as she is bored, like really bored she just presses buttons on the keyboard bored to tears - she really wants action. 

She decides to return to her coffee. She asks for the person in charge to give her a break, for a while the person was hesitating before granting her her request to explore around the research facility she checked on the place where Thea and Brian are at. There they are, they are playing with toys, and the same bear she used to have whom she adored during her time in the laboratory. 

Ava walked near Brian holding the bear, Ava then squats and looks at him with her eyes straight, "What is that you're holding?" Brian looks at Ava while holding the bear and smiles at her then a voice came, "Oh it's you" with cute innocence, Ava looks at him and starts cuddling him Brian emoted, "Ahhhhhhhhhhh" brian smacks Ava head, which hurts Ava's head as Ava gets angry but steam blows off eventually Ava ask, "Where is Thea?" Brian let out a sad face, "Somewhere. Not here" Ava understood, "I see" Brian stands up and starts walking away with the bear he just left and move on

Ava followed him and asked "Where are you going?" Brian puts on a pout-like expression on his mouth and stares at her "Somewhere, that's none of your business" Ava eyes widened and said, "Oh I see. Good luck"

Ava retreats from her steps, as she resumed her work on the computer, her leader said, "Ava, have you worked on the scientific computing for some of our machines?" Ava looked at the leader and answered, "Yes, I have been working on the data analysis software for the machine, and its integration. I am trying to make it functionable sir"

The leader emphatically said, "Counting on it" Ava nods she continues to work, she even make herself some coffee and then check in with her job, she added the necessary patches and push it - she went to the scientists and ask them if they software is working without errors

One of the problems was error correction in hardware interfering with software. The operators checked the update and had it updated, as the operators were waiting for the patch update, they were about to get a chance with her. One of them said with something corny like "Hey girl, quite the eye catch you are. You should learn to 'patch' with us" Ava ignored him as she looked away rebuffing him, "Don't kid yourself if you think you have a chance with someone who's behind the new patches" The other operator laughed at him and said, "Ohhhh, quite the pickup line fail" 

The operator in the scene was embarrassed as they both waited for the updates & patches to complete its download. As the new version installation is complete, they boot up the machine and start to operate, they use the data analysis software embedded to the system and it's finally operational. The error correction does not interfere more on doing its task trying to get numbers for the software to pick up on for analysis. 

The operator expressed his satisfaction, "Nice it's working. Not bad patch girl" the operators continue twiddling the controls . As the operators fetch the data from the software for analysis, they continue to analyze any residual energy signatures and quantum breakthroughs. Even trying to ascertain the semiconductors at the microscopic level to determine the nature of the energy around the circuitry

As it is complete, the computer begins to catalogue data. The machine is like a big microscope equipped with lasers hoping to validate and analyze new semiconductor circuitry for something at the miniscule level while keeping its electrical field and its resonance peak observable.

The operators uses the software and did his work with the machine examining semiconductor technology

 (Just think of it as a machine for analyzing material science of a circuit) 

Ava's task was finally complete, she said to the boys, "Well, I should be heading back boys have fun with that machine of yours" the operators ignored her as they navigate through the machine fiddling the view and controls 

Ava returned to her office. She drank her coffee and had a good time, she checked the system and today's trend she went back to chillaxing with the air conditioner with bustling activity - what a boring life she lives now but hey she is surviving nowadays. Just the chops of a boring human life. She rests on her chair as she relaxes and meditates before waking herself up and starts typing code for fun. 

She looks at her code, gazing at it. She feels rather bored, she looks at the algorithm. She then decides to read books . To keep her mind off, she reads the pages in her head for some time before deciding to go back and check the IDE she is using. 

Ava's mouth emoted, "Meh" she decided to listen to music, usually those with the chill vibe, eventually she vibed her ears to one eminem music - rotating through every music in the computer, she was bored to tears she looks at every website where she again decides to check the program, she looks at the screen where she continued maintaining the code even pushing it to the repository 

"What am I coding exactly? I need to check on it real quick" 

Ava stands up and decides to check on the others she watches people do their thing, you know enjoying life some of them interacting with each other. She was here to learn about her origins and her father - and what did she learn? That she was not only the one with cybernetic augmentations in intellect but others like Thea and Brian were also involved, there were no genetic similarities between them and her, so possibly there were other experiments that were in play with the facility. No nevermind, the world is getting too weird.

Ava continues staring at the monitor, trying to see things before finally she can be dismissed. As soon as the dismissal begins she walks out and starts looking over the children being monitored. Here it is other children on the scene, one kid catched her interest definitely had an interesting share of insight

The child expressed that he recalls that he was in the womb only for him to suddenly be extracted to the pod, this was a rather regale encounter of a kid's uncanny memory to recall his life especially during his infancy, no one can remember their time as a fetus in a child womb and what it feels like to be extracted before completion. It was disturbing, the same could probably happen to her but only because of being the mad scientist's daughter and the insistence of her mother that she was transported from a laboratory to a house. 

Ava ask, "What do you feel about technology" 

The child looks at her and responded with "A part of me I guess"

Ava asks, "What about your parents?"

The child answered blankly, "They don't exist", his eyes were all blank, as if the knowledge of his parents never existed at all 

Ava was dumbfounded, have they managed to integrate nanotechnology to their child's brain inviolably? No, it can't be. She was the only one with the tech integration now her life feels like a lie. But at the same time, these children were not given care, they were lab rats of some organization for what purposes. Ava nods her head and said, "Very well"

"I hope you have a good life, child." the child makes no reaction to her the child nodded and walked away indifferent to her being and the others, other children were still being monitored by scientists - Ava saw this scientist he was completely cold to them, checking their vitals, their eyes, their ears, their sensory, how they process data, what will happen to them in the future, what's her place in the grand tapestry of schemes and new order. 

Either way it doesn't matter, these kids' parents have them extract their baby during the unknown mother's pregnancy for unknown reasons, maybe money, finances, or even a better life for the children. 

But are the children prompt for a better life? Eventually Ava realises the depth of her mother's love, this love with her being the first subject assigned to her one wacko father, bordering on the insanity of transhumanism. She still doesn't understand her purpose. 

Grokking it wouldn't give her any answers. Eventually Ava decides to undertake enquiries regarding her origins

She went to some scientists and asked them something, "Do you know who I am?" the scientist said "New employee?" Ava shakes her head and says "Do you know a former experimental child whose name is Ava?" scientist waves his head said, "I am sorry but I am a new scientist here" 

Ava puts on a sad face as she walks around, she infers that that scientists who were veterans are probably old, she went to people who had beards or sorts. She asked one person who fits the qualities of an elder with the same question, "What was I like when I was a toddler?" 

(This scientist that Ava found and the scientist whom Victor spoke in a classified area are different)

The scientist turned around with his hands on back looking at Ava and answered while scanning her face, "You a little child, you were like others gifted, but observation shows you were aware, this place - you were here before?"

Ava nods then asks another question, "I was, do you have any information about Victor Sumeris?" The scientist looked at her with wide eyes and said "Yes, him…. That guy is weird, I know he's the reason for most of our child experiments with cybernetics but"

"He's obsessed… Extremely obsessed he worked in this facility for a while but he's not often seen around, rumour has it that he had augmented himself to insane level for most of the things he is doing"

The scientist asks "I wonder who your father is, compared to other experiments you seem to have a normal background" Ava said "Normal background, what do you mean - you're not implying that the kids who dispatched here are already gone and discarded?" 

The scientist puts on a solemn face and says, "To those who yield results were then recruited by other places of the organization from number calculators, engineers, and hackers, their cybernetics were being used by the organization with collars on that anyone who disobeyed them were then electrified. It's slavery"

The scientist starts to probe her, "Wait a minute, who is your father?" Ava's face turned to confusion and replied, "I don't actually know. But he was a tall man with eyeglasses" the scientist "I see. You are a lucky one, Victor Sumeris seems to be indifferent to what's happening to those children. As he was too obsessed on engineering working experiments, the failed ones are discarded by the organization" 

Ava said "I see…." She cannot seem to comprehend the moral insanity of her father, and considering she was the first subject of this Project Cybernesis, for her case his father had to procreate with a woman with a particular inserted payload. This payload that will rewrite the dna sequence synthesizing it with something, that's what Ava assumed

But this father… His genius knows no limits. He has decided to go a step further based on what this person is saying, no. He was a puppet of the organization, he managed to engineer a way to extract a fetus from someone's and grow them as an embryo where the babies are not experimented on with nanotechnology. It's sinister - a mad man, a man shrouded in mystery. 

Ava realized what this person is saying, this theory of hers that was concocted in her head. It's bad, she decides to just cool herself when she nods to the person, her eyes dilated as she walks away - she saw the children and she can't even fathom their existence, their existence stolen from them. 

The scientist followed her and shared, "They don't have a choice, their parents agreed to the contract to have their fetus extracted where they are turned into Living working computers for the organization"

Ava looked at her own inner self, "Then why…. Wait. I don't understand why I am able to make my own decisions . The scientist answered, "That's what I wanted to know. Maybe your guardian allows you to experience life before setting here, maybe it's just determinism" 

Ava then asked wanting to see more, "I see, is there anything you want to say" the scientist said "No… Be careful of yourself Ava" 

The scientist left the vicinity Ava was in, as she processed the very nature of her existence. She was stunned, she then made a walk and stared at the children - the children were just doing fine doing tests and breathing, one kid was playing with blocks the other one was just running on a treadmill, the third child she eyed on was doing calculations in a paper

Ava observed them and said "They seem like normal kids, at times this is like daycare to me" Ava said, "I don't see anything sinister about this place… Unless of course.. The scientists are observing them" 

Ava backtracked her steps, back to the office she was working on. She doesn't believe everything the scientist says but her thoughts were so jumbled it doesn't make any sense. She shook her head as she typed on the computer. 

She continued programming, and doing code maintenance and stuff. She looks at the monitor, she feels rather jaded out, she wants to dismiss herself while maintaining code she just wants to go home. Soon enough she stands up from the chair she recently sat at and decides to ask the boss if she is dismissed. 

The manager looks at her and said, "Sure, you are already near your dismissal time you should be good now" she was handed her paycheck where she left the room 

As she walks she is still thinking about the children, whenever she looks at the building it's like this huge facility with gates and AI, even security systems, it's crazy. 

It's highly protected, the facility also has this hatching openings probably for turrets in case any offenses in the sky are heading towards the facility, whatever it is it is one of the bigger facility ever but not skyscraper type just wide and huge, Genesis Innovation Inc 

The place where even unfathomable technology and genetic experiments are developed for one big secret organization. Surely there is a thrill to it, being a part of it. 

Ava spoke to herself while touching the side of her trench coat on her front trying to keep it neat, "Now what? So I simply am going to be the organization's lapdog?" 

"Very well. My specialized training should be next week. And that's all I need"

Ava making a note vocally, "Unless there is something I overlook"

Ava then thinks, "Hmmmm, those children prepped for the organization as living computers yet here I am having a comfortable past. Maybe perhaps I was predestined for this, what's the point of existence" 

Ava went to the train as she plans to return home, as she returned to her hotel she went to her room and put out her trench coat, leaving only her long knit dress with working pants she rest on her bed as she watches video on her phone (yeah she can watch the internet in her head but she wouldn't want to keep herself away from the ground she is at. For fanservice sake) she watch videos from the internet or whatever is on the internet

Eventually she got a message from Henry InterChat, "Hey, Ava. It's been a while cutie let's go have some fun in a club. I will treat you some champagne and you do your part as my 'confidant'"

Henry then in succession messaged, "What do you say? :)"

Ava responded with "Not in the mood, but I will consider it if I get some payment out of you and have fun"

Henry messaged, "Hm, well. Job not doing well for you?"

Ava replied, "It's fine. It's just life in general" 

Henry messaged, "Ah. Well then I will find another girl to escort. Then, you can enjoy helping yourself out unless you want me to help you. Don't miss out on the fun" 

Ava puts on a blank face and sends, "Fine, I will come. Just introduce me some new people" 

Henry gave directions in the message "Well, meet me at this given destination. And don't bother trying to walk yourself here. This club is exclusive so I will have my driver to fetch you soon. Make sure to look good" 

Ava scratched her face while typing "A lot of people compliment my appearance, yet here you are telling me to look good. Here tell me how good looking I am" where she hit send then

Ava stood up and posed herself in the mirror as she pictured her smartphone in the mirror and then sent it to Henry, "Do I look good?" 

Henry is then seen typing, where a message finally appeared "Hmmm remove that working pants wear something short" 

Ava felt a little disgusted and replied "Excuse me"

Henry typed "Don't see what I said, wear something short hmmm. How about a pantyhose instead it's quite cold inside, the air conditioning is good" 

Ava said "I don't know what that is" 

Henry said "Oh it's something females wear when they go to work. It will look good you trust me"

Ava said "Can you at least bring a pantyhose that can fit me and make your driver as a delivery service"

Henry brimmed with confidence through the social media interlocution, "Consider it done" 

Ava finalized her message, "Then we're all good" with a thumbs up emoji

Soon enough Ava then went to a place somewhere only the sky is blackened with the moon, this night is gonna blast for her as the place the Ava is standing is secluded where she awaits her driver, soon enough her driver arrived in the scene with a deluxe hover car, it's like mercedes with black color the wires are replaced with ionic thrusters they looked like turbines of sort perhaps to provide more lift and speed probably just another antigravity propulsion facing the ground. 

Later a door opened on the other side of the hover car, a girl with a sleeveless plunging neckline V suit came out her hair was brown bob short hair with neon streak seen at the ending of her hair follicle length, she was quite alluring but her body is very androidish yes she was short yet slender, she stared at me as if she was a professional her eyelids are neon blue. 

"Go in, we are gonna head to the club soon. Also, I brought the pantyhose that Henry prepared for you" it says

And so Ava went near the girl and put up a hand shake and said "Greetings. Have we met before" 

The girl outwardly demanded, "Stop wasting my time" Ava nodded and went to the car but before she entered the car she asked the girl the following, "Can I wear my pantyhose somewhere?" The girl placed a hand on her own face and slightly scratched it and blurted, "Make it faster or better yet just do it in the car?" 

Ava flushed, "Are you serious?" while holding herself while she holds her mouth and her eyes are widened with her arms squishing her torso. The girl smiled at her looking smug and confidently assures her, "Don't worry these windows are not see through, are you scared Henry might watch you from the feed changing?" 

Ava became furious and as she moved forward where she denied her teasing accusation, "No, I am not. You are just making him out to be a pervert" The girl then tempts, "Come on then, don't keep me waiting" Ava rushes to open the door to wear the pantyhose inside the car

Soon enough begins to change she pulls up her sweater shirt a little to push her two legs to the pantyhose.

The girl driving the hover car looked at Ava's head. Smugly, Ava finished her equipment as she looked at her bothered by her snobbish stare, "What are you looking at?" 

The girl reacted with a none-serious attitude and said, "Oh nothing, it's just you - you are amusing" Ava was confused then acknowledged her, "Uhmm okay… How long is the destination" The girl checked and estimated outwardly, "about 10 minutes. Satellites indication reveals we are just about near"

And so the girl continues to drive throughout the tower altitude, until the window shows bright lights being flashed from a large building, there was a party going crazy - the glowing symbols were arranged as 'Plasma Festive" signifying its name soon enough the car begins to descend as the huge mechanical door whose appearance is like a rocket silo with more texture from the below can be seen, the hatch below then opens it was loud and roaring, as the car slowly descended. 

As the vehicle that Ava was riding was descending there it is the glamour and lights and the underground feeling. The vehicle descended and soon entered the parking lot from the side, the parking lot was filled with garages with force fields protecting the cars inside, as the hover car parked itself to the place wherein it landed, there the girl who was driving the vehicle announced, "We're here. Henry is waiting for us" Ava nods as she opens the door then exits her chair. She looked at the girl and said, "Lead the way" the girl smoothly walks with her own heels as if she is used to this kind of atmosphere

Ava followed her, she was also wearing high heels but not super high heels, her tight knit sweater dress still hugging her curves and her pantyhose making an appearance with its own specularity. As Ava hugs herself, the girl touch on some biometric and accessed with it where the mechanical door open, an array of 'elevators' are there on each circular sides, they are not equipped with nitrous oxide pumpers this time, the elevators were enough to do the job for transportations

Soon enough the girl went inside the 'elevator' engaging the interface with her hands, as the girl engaged the control. Ava started to feel like her consciousness is about to disembark - in a state of entropy, is this what they call being quantum entangled or simply put being disassembled where eventually she is starting to feel like she is reassembling

She was back on a physical world where she is with the girl the girl exited the door, Ava realizes it was teleportation where her head looked at this girl she was an android like girl with her skin color, she walked like a secretary but her dress resembling a plunging V neckline party suit was enough to juxtapose it, the girl followed her soon the lounge can be felt, there were people in plenitude - the people of VIPs, sitting in the coaches chugging beer or even relaxing with the ladies, some of them are smoking hot. 

One was playing games on his portable console while sitting down on the chair with his buddies, the rave music was on, beats and beats sing while the lights flashed around

from afar there was a DJ. It was a male with black skin and bald hair with a beret wearing headphones with additional display indicators affixed to the earcup, this indicator creates beats sync to the DJ musical interface for cyberpunk aesthetics

Ava comments as she scans her surroundings "This really is something else" while her head scans the area, she follows the girl with a stoic face. Her walk was steady and flowing, Ava followed the lead, the girl said, "Most girls that Henry knew would be accustomed to this kind of settings" with a blank indifferent face juxtaposed with a V neckline plunging dress. 

The beats continues to drum, the DJ on the other hand was vibing to the music and so was his fancy studio headphones with sound visualizing indicators

Soon enough Ava followed the girl to a room, the girl approaches a door guarded by two security men they seem to be in ironclad where they are holding some sort of rifle as they stand in position, being in at an ease 

You have to be this rich to have this kind of splendour, behind the security guard was a solid door not metallic but with machinery, it looks thick enough not even one guy can pull it open. 

The girl with brunette hair revealed, "I am here to bring this lady in at Henry's behest". The security guard looked at each other and nodded where they went unto to open the solid door. Ava and this girl walked together as they approached the glamorous evening, the room was radiant with no technology it's just a one wide VIP room with a long coach and a bar, alongside a virtual computer with an air conditioner- one can nap here all day 

There it is, the man himself finally in a dress asked, "Gheez, what took you so long" sitting in the coach surrounded by people. These people are his friends and friends of friends. A group of young men some of them dressed in casual some are dressed in luxurious brand, alongside the girls who are socializing rather quietly with the men 

The girl's head stared upwards and flirted, "Who knows, 30 minutes or even worse 20 minutes could be long for you" while crossing her arms. Henry smiled, "Quit it" with him flapping his hand, yeah he is well dressed he looks like the fine rich man he is. A business suit, with a bowtie in his blouse collar, this suit is like silk black with a golden tag on the top area of the front suit that says "VIP of all VIPs" - It's like a tuxedo.

Ava remarked her eyes straighten without malignant intent, "It seems you choose to look good", but "VIP of all VIPS" was enough to make her cringe if anyone were to have that kind of badge it would make anyone laugh but for Henry, it seems like he is just reminding anyone that he is a superior rich man, plus the thick door that only two men in ironclads can open. 

Ava scans the area she looks at the jewelry, very fine 3D printed sculptures of plates as if a special kind of thermal conducted material turn solid. Ava reflexed, "Wow, impressive" Henry shared to her with professional excitement, "For the special night that awaits this lounge, I choose to look the part Ava" Henry flips his hand out of his head

Soon enough Henry walked near her and told her, "Never forget that". Soon enough Henry's head rotated to the girl who brought Ava here, her face was cold but not unforgiving. 

Her figure was really slender but petite, her body being an android of sorts Henry looked at her and introduced, "Ava, this is Maya my second in command whenever I am not around she is in charge and I trust her." Ava asked "really, why was she my driver then" Henry responded with 

"Had to keep you safe for extraction. Plus it makes a good entrance" Henry pulled out his hand playfully suggesting, "Why don't we go for a walk?" Ava was flattered - she took his hand and gestured her gratitude, "Why thank you" 

Ava took his arm and smiled. She felt nice being in his presence . A man who knows how to make a girl feel special, soon enough other males and females follow suit.

 Maya waves her head as she watches Ava cuddle on Henry's arm and remarks "Is she really any different?" Maya uses her eyes to scan Ava's body and she finds interesting leads. 

(Scans shows an increased need for oxytocin, heavy nanotechnology that's been meshed with her cerebrum cortex as if it's part of her brain, enhanced cognitive abilities, and several abnormalities that gives her an affinity to technology) 

"She's not normal, she's like a computer living creature. Except why is she hanging out with Henry like some trophy? Oh yeah, he rocked her world didn't he?" Maya waved her head and followed them . She speeded her walk before passing between them. 

Ava would continue to walk with him as they enter the wild party and the rave music soon enough Henry lets her go where the two of them dances. 

Ava continues to rave to the music, her tight knit sweater dress starting to bounce and her pantyhose starting to be specular while of course the biggest narcissist in the club continues to do his own thing, he danced as if he just chugged a bear screaming, suddenly Maya grabs him and slapped him told him the following, "Get a hold of yourself!" Henry emotionally responded, "What? What did you slap me for?" 

Maya said with her eyes straight looking up at his face and her posture assertive, "I don't like what you are doing, you are embarrassing yourself. What did you take yourself for" Henry momentarily surprised, "Oh my bad, thanks for the reminder" henry he went unto dance like normal vibing to the music but he chooses to defy Maya with his egoism a bit

He had Ava grab onto his hand where they started dancing. He brought Ava onto his shoulder as he lifted his other arm up in the air while screaming, "I am the best!" Ava got flustered she was too near his tall body she can feel his suit the scent of it was enough to keep her bothered and flushed

Maya looked at him stupefied, "You gotta be kidding me!" Maya slaps her own face and accepted the situation, "Ehh fine, who cares" Maya then scans with her eyes if CCTV and stalkers are nearby with her algorithms, trying to analyze their thoughts of Maya, Henry vibing with Ava on his shoulder while holding her with his bare arms

(CCTVs spotted, and onlookers nearby, accessing records of Henry celebrity and status, moderate, accessing any information on the internet about her yield the result of NONE)

Maya analysis channeled to a self-whisper, "2 onlookers, minimal risk of controversy and CCTV's, his playboy status is somewhat good though, and body structure and facial structure superior" Maya ask herself if she would risk being a partner to enhance Henry's presence considering a few social onlookers or to stay put. 

Perhaps being loud and socializing with Henry isn't so bad, however Maya being a secretary with real time analysis does her job her irises that were gleaning blue started to analyze and she looked at her clothes and decided, "Alright fine. I guess I can socialize"

Maya started to walk near Henry and announced, "I got a change of parameters, sir, and it's beneficial we need to relocate somewhere where there aren't many people to increase observation" 

Henry looks at her while Ava is held to his shoulder and acknowledged, "Got it" Henry started to tell Ava to follow her but Ava was somewhat intoxicated she was already vibing with Henry and she doesn't want to spoil the fun by not being in the dance floor 

Eventually Ava sensed something funny, it was coming from Maya. She looked at her and said, "So that's why" 

Ava intuited the situation, "Fair enough, let's relocate but we should include her on the fun, she has been nothing but a droid" 

Maya takes offense as her hands turn into fists, "Droid?! Look who's talking, nothing but a pretty face" 

Ava grinned at her, she was biting her mouth and spoke back, "Pretty face?! Is that what you have to say to me!" 

Maya taunts her, "What are you going to do about it huh" 

Ava grinds her teeth. She was furious she said nothing it was true she was nothing but a pretty face she wanted to punch her but she can't, there was nothing she can do until she walk away from Henry and grabbed Maya's shoulders conceding to her insult, "Fine, maybe I am a pretty face but I have other surprises as well" 

Maya makes a scathing reply, "I doubt they are anything better than looking like Henry's conquests" Maya teases her condescending with a smile. Ava smiled and was about to make a fist before Henry watched them two, Henry then stepped in and declared, "Enough! We are not risking a scene do you understand Maya" Henry soften his voice, "Unless, you take it slowly and keep to dialectics instead, let's relocate Ava we got things to do" 

Maya nods and says "Follow this way, sir" Henry followed Maya, and so did Ava. They arrive at a place where the patrons are just enjoying themselves, and of course that one guy who is playing games on his console. 

Ava and Maya understood her role, she said to Maya "Okay, robot girl. What if I am pretty, I am taller than you, more elegant than you - and definitely more attractive than you by Henry's eyes" Maya puts on a blank face not being impressed, "Seriously that's the best argument you can make. Like seriously, yeah you are really nothing but a pretty face. Don't talk to me, commodity" 

Ava umbrage leaped, "Commodity. You are wearing that clothing and you had the guts to tell me! That I am a commodity?" 

Maya answered mockingly, "Duhhh, you are. Plus my clothing is by my own merits and my own design. What does your pretty face have to do with me being second-in-command of the company my partner has in mind? Unlike you I dress with purpose and style" 

Ava then took her insult into mind, "Dress with purpose? And style? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, fine, so do I!" 

Ava crossed her arms sitting next to Henry with a frustrated face, she was gritting her teeth. Maya on the other hand keeps a calm collected face, she whispers to Henry "I already did my job. Real time analysis shows that onlookers are getting jealous and are now paying attention" which makes Henry smiles slowly

Ava pointed at Maya, looking at Henry, "Henry, can you even believe that girl?!" 

Maya just hides her laughter and said "You started it first by calling me a 'Droid'" 

Ava then makes a reluctant action, "My apologies, you know what. I might be wrong for picking on your sensibilities so sudden" 

Maya accepted her apology and smiled, "It's fine, Ava. We all make mistake pretty face - just do what you gotta do" 

Maya winked at Henry and updated him, "There we go, we just made some attention. Soon the gossip will go crazy" Henry amuse, "Hehhee, as expected." with a humorous laughter.

Henry puts a hand out on Ava's shoulder where the words came out his lips, "Don't feel too bad Ava. Misunderstanding like this happens" the raving continues to vibe, the beats shaking where Henry then stands up without saying anything to go somewhere Ava continues to just sit in the coach while maya was starting to get bored. 

Maya just rests on her coach position with her arm on the top of the arm where she leans on Ava and asks her the following question, "So what do you think of Henry so far?" Ava said while releasing her stress, "I am not in a mood." Maya teases Ava a little bit, "Oh come on, I know you got a thing for Henry. Good looking, rich, clever. Just the type of men to rock your world you know" 

Ava just ignores her as she looks away from her. Maya observed Ava's ignorance, "Fine, be that way then" Maya rested on her chair vibing to the music 

As minutes have passed by Henry came back to the coach where he sat with the two ladies while putting down a plate with two cocktail glasses with an additional beer, some people started whispering to each other

Whispers like "VIP of VIPs isn't it. Looks like we got another lady's man", "Quite the spectacle isn't it", "Oh another insecure man in our midst, he is obnoxious", "What are those girls fighting about, they are noisy" 

Maya enjoys hearing the whispers, she even attempts to snuggle up to Ava trying to lean her petite torso as she levitates above Henry's lap and says "Oh Ava… I think those whispers were talking about you"

Ava was disturbed where her reflex reacted, "Who cares what they think? They never touch a real lady before" as an attempt to emotionally reframe before it becomes defused. Henry touched the two girls shoulders, "Cheer up ladies, you know what else is fun champagne. The staple of every club, there is no such thing as a club when you don't have champagne. But only for clubs like this haahahaha" 

Henry hands out the champagne and pours it on one cocktail glass where he hands it out to Ava and says "Don't drink it so hard" 

Ava looks at it and feels very allured by the texture of it, the elixir she can't wait to get a taste of. 

And she takes it and drinks a little from it. She felt a little good, Ava announced, "That's better. I love the taste of wine, dear provider" Ava put the cocktail down and asked, "So how do I serve our transactional relationship, do I get components or something mr money bag?"

Ava was still sitting on the same couch this time looking at him with a slightly relaxed face. She was even smiling as if her face was a bit inebriated, Henry answered without paying much thought, "We will discuss the private stuff. So how have you been surviving so far?" while relaxing with the two of the girls

Ava shared with him, "I use the remaining money I have in my bank account to rent a hotel, and then I get myself a job in the place I want to work in, unfortunately I work as a boring software engineer that does maintenance and bug fixes on some computing software. That's pretty much it. You know" 

And so Henry feeling satisfied on what's received on his cochlea, "Hmm, that's good to hear" Maya just watches on the side her head was there watching both of them preferring not to do anything at all

Henry then forwarded himself as he announced himself, "So to discuss your payment I think you did pretty well so far. Here 50,000 credits for the well done escort, I hope the best for your future. 

Thinking about it, I think it's time I relocate the car back to its original docking place" Henry looks at Maya as he nods to her direction where Maya looks to her hand with a built in voice recognition app and spoke to it, "Recall" where the voice echoed, "Processing" after a few minutes an echo came from the her hand, "Request granted, recalling the vehicle back to its location. Assuming automotive directive" 

Soon enough the car leaves the parking lot as the force field protecting it has faded - outside of the parking lot were also a couple of parking lots with force fields protecting them, the missile silo. As the car moves away from the parking lot, it then ascends where a mechanical silo door from above opens - its movement was automated, the sooner it reached the altitude of the sky the sooner it rotated and burst into speed 

Maya tweaks the voice recognition app on her hand for a bit before turning it off, Henry invites "Ava, you will be on a ride with us anyway. But first things first, why don't we have a good time. Me, you and my secretary"

Ava gets excited, "Ohhh sure whatever floats your boat" Ava drinks the cocktail glass as she relaxes. Ava furthering her own closure, "I might want to go back to my place soon." Ava sips her cocktail with wine. 

Ava's face simmered, and expressed her satisfaction, "That feels better" Ava puts her glass of wine back to the table and relaxes, Ava looks at Henry one more time and asks, "Is there anything you want to say?" Ava smiles while being a little intoxicated. Henry looked at her and said "Oh I have nothing to say to you Ava. But now that I think about it, we haven't really had sex" Ava became curious while her face was intoxicated, "What is sex like anyway? I have heard a couple of it from the internet but have I really gotten my head wrapped around it, I know men are obsessed with it" 

Henry answered, "Oh that's where males like me enjoy the fine taste of the women they pick. It's where Men and Female together have fun" Ava sharing her thoughts, "I thought it's a procreation thing" Henry disclosed, his eye turned hopeless but accepting, "It is, but us humans have made it into a enjoyable thing, and a way stroke our ego amongst others" Ava intuits his word, "Don't worry I get what you mean… My head is filled with preconceived thoughts, just stuff from the internet. I watched porn you know?" 

Henry laughed, and showed his amusement, "You watched porn, weird for someone like you. Someone so delicate and pretty at the same time" Henry puts his hand on her chin as he look at him and then makes a move, "Wanna come over to my place then" 

Ava then responded playfully, "As if I wanted to do with you, come let's head for the dance stage" Ava picks Henry up where she held to his arm to the dance stage

As they arrive on the dance stage, Henry and Ava begin to play together - Ava begins to bounce up and down in front of him while smiling, the beat was very secular and more like dopamine rush than anything. 

Ava continues dancing on the dance stage, meanwhile Maya stays in the coach, while Ava dances alongside Henry on the dance stage. 

The lights were glowing up and down. Ava shared enthusiastically, "This is my first time to party, where are your friends?" Henry answered while the music is loud, "You mean those in the private room I rented with two security guards guarding it. Those were my friends… I just invited them there, and they invited others like a domino effect. I needed some company"

Ava responded, "Huh, weird why they aren't with you." Henry confessed but his eye flickered where his smile faded before turning back, "Oh, life isn't what you always think of it is as Ava acknowledged, "I see, I guess that's just how it is" Ava finalize her statement, "Let's just have fun, let your friends or whatever just do whatever they want. It's us now" 

Henry agreed as he smiled, "Damn right girl. You are learning a bit by bit" 

Ava shifted her club dance, as she danced with the club. The DJ on the stage continued to play with his music on the instruments as the sound visualizer on his headphone continued making its visual. The black guy was definitely tuning on it, as a lot of patrons and partygoers were dancing. An exclusive club? Oh definitely, but there was so many people the glamour, the coach, the rich people, the spoiled, the socialite who are there for a good time than be formal or anything

Ava continued to do her thing, dancing with Henry, the night was so young. She was just chilling with Henry, as Henry just makes slight movements himself as his dancing, Ava enjoys relaxing herself vibing with Henry. Ava dances with Henry. The lights and lasers on the background continue to vibrate, Ava continues to dance, she was becoming more of a party girl type 

Ava wiggles and at time even bounce as the club music thrives, eventually Henry was getting bored - he decides to go to a register and even go to a register where he pay at least a sufficient amount of money to change the music, soon enough the DJ notices the song and recognize it but paid no heed as the DJ start to rock it on. However this song has lyrics, lyrics that can be really explicit. 

The DJ played with its instruments, and started playing as Ava continued to dance not sensually, Henry returned with Ava on the dance floor. Maya from her coach recognized something on her Real time analysis that Henry had really done, she smiled while her arm was on the top of the coach and muttered, "Sleazy bastard", she looked at the stage that Ava and Henry are dancing on. 

Soon enough the music slowly changed, and the DJ said to himself "Who is this guy 60,000 credits? Just for one lyrics" while playing the DJ he did his job anyway and played a song with explicit lyrics and started DJing on the beat. Where after a while Ava looks at Henry with an amused smile and says "Seriously, are you that down bad. Fine, we will do it later. As long as we are still in contact" 

Henry gleefully plays with her, "Huh, I didn't do anything it's probably someone else did" Ava uttered, "Don't hide it" Henry teased again trying to maintain face, "So what if I did?" Ava confessed, "I wouldn't complain" Henry teases Ava for a bit saying "maybe you're a pervert aren't you" while smiling. Ava got shocked as she repulsed a bit and showed sarcasm, "Oh my, you finally know my secret. Yeah I am a close set pervert" Ava laughed a bit. Soon the music changed and the atmosphere changed. 

Ava, who was dancing, Henry grabbed her hands softly and carried where she rolled. She ended up on his front as Ava faced on the stage while Henry was on her back, Henry pushed his head forward as he looked at Ava and asked, "Enjoying so far? I did this just for you"

Ava smiles and starts to vibe, it's some dubstep rap music. Some people were dancing, and all of the sudden the ladies got sultry, the one who was dancing vibing to it started to shake her hips. Ava began to resonate with the music as Henry held her front. An increased dopamine level for Ava begins to swirl, she doesn't care about anything. She embraced the primality as she danced with the music 

She wants to feel the music, Ava while dancing to the music begins to shake her hips sensually, she starts to touch her hips with her hands and slide it down while waving upward Henry lets her go and said "That's right girl, be free with your body" Ava continues to dance sensually as the beat going up and down. 

(Commentator: "Careful with the music you listen, if anyone were to animate this please try to make the lyrics as vague as possible, try to downplay the animation)

Ava continues to dance, she looked at Henry and asked while dancing, "How do I do" while Henry smiles and complimented, "Good so far, you have been dancing well" 

Ava and Henry continue to dance to the secular music before Ava became tired and became bored she was already dopamine deprived or should I say that her mind has become numb her stimulation was already too much and repetitive

Eventually she became desperate and started to flirt with Henry, "Babe, you are so handsome… Soo rich, soo charming, you are my type of man. I want you" Henry smiles as his grin becomes more powerful and haughty, "Mhmm, that's more like it" 

Henry decides to escort her somewhere where Ava walked with Henry and taps her finger to his cheeks and says "Really clever, aren't you. I can't hold myself, but now I just want to experience the moment. Make me a happy woman Henry" as Ava touches Henry back even his chest complimenting his suit and body

Henry's ego was extremely high; he finally got what he wanted. Henry then takes command, getting dirty, "Only if I take a picture of you dancing" Ava smiled and abided, "Alright, just one time alright. 

But I have something better" Ava grabs his face softly and make him look at her and said "Picture this with your friends" Ava pushes her lips on Henry's mouth she was closing her eyes before Henry reciprocated he grab his phone and lifted it to record himself being kissed by Ava, Ava continues to hold her kiss with him. Soon enough the two disengage from their kiss 

Ava confessed with lust, "Lovely kiss, dear handsome. Let's go to your place" Ava and Henry leave the club, Henry went to his parking lot from the club's teleporter port and they went to the Henry vehicle. 

Yes it's another hover car except with a more formal deluxe car, this time it's white with black stripes. As they arrived in the parking lot, he opened Ava's door and Ava went inside, Henry entered the driver seat where he starts to activate the vehicle system and then make way to the exit of the missile silo parking lot

Ava with a smile but curious smile asks with curiosity, "So tell me, what are your ex girlfriends like? Any reasons why you didn't get in contact with them" 

Henry explains while driving, "It didn't work out, they weren't really my girlfriends. Just friends with benefits… They like my company and I like their company, but sometimes it doesn't work. She wants another man, I want another woman, and we move on. There is no end to this cycle" he wasn't smiling at as he looked to his seat's window 

Ava remarked, "Huh, I thought mens are the ones who hurt females a lot emotionally" Henry while manoeuvring the vehicle control, "You don't seem to understand do you? Ehhh fine, it's just the world we live in. When you are broken and shallow, you will attract the same. As for me posting your vulnerable picture, well" Henry scratched his head, "I had to keep my relevancy amongst my peers. I am sorry Ava"

Ava makes a small smile, 'It's fine. I am also a pervert anyway. So where is your place at" Henry disclosed while driving, "Somewhere but it's a villa of sorts" for a while Henry just continued driving while Ava rested in the chair, the vehicle eventually entered the building. 

The building was quite huge and better yet it was secluded, making it only the few buildings in the neighborhood with again GRASS, not super huge but enough for one person to be satisfied. The hover car descended and then it entered the garage oh look the limousine that Ava once rode on when she was rescued by him three months ago and a bunch of good looking sports cars. 

Ava as she look out her window, "Wow, you got quite the collection here" Henry flicks his fingers to his hair and confidently said, "It's what I do" Henry grab the handle and open, "Let's go down now, time for our moment together" Ava mouth turn teasingly and flirtatious, "Oh you mean the things you do with your ex girlfriends? Yeah right" 

Henry name-called her while smiling, "Says the drunkard" Ava laughed when he went to his room and Ava entered and then closed the door. Where the scene faded and the night was young leaving the two who knows who

Ava woke up and she found herself in a blanket even holding it to her cleavage, while she was in some room as she stood up and realized what she had done. She felt bad for herself, she didn't know why she did it she became a little obsessed. 

She wanted company so she did and now Henry is gone, she feels so bad for herself she wears the clothes she had dropped and checks her phone to check on Henry. She trembled in a hysterical voice through the phone "Henry, where are you?" 

but Henry doesn't answer he dodged the situation and texted, "You can use that money to buy yourself a uber driver" where he ignores her further messages which in turn made Ava furious 

During this time of turmoil, she feels obligated to care for him because she cares about him, no she doesn't she knows what will happen but she can't stop worrying. 

Ava laughed at herself and then just rested on the coach. Ava blames herself, "What's wrong with me, just what's wrong with me. 

Is this how I experience life now? This is just to not feel lonely. Stupid Henry" soon enough Ava left the building door open. 

Ava tried to recall what she remembered first, things first she had pleasure, she didn't feel lonely during her time with him. 

She felt alive, loved, cherished. She was inexperienced yet she felt like a kitty with him because of his appreciation of her, but now she feels like a discarded trash. 

Ava checked her phone and waved her head. She decided to let things be things, she tried to shake the thought away, "It's not much of a big deal. Come on" to herself but deep down she wanted to cope. Maybe Maya was right she was just a pretty face, she doesn't know how to handle herself as she stands 

Soon enough a figure appeared, it was Maya she wasn't wearing a plunging v neckline she was wearing the usual professional formal clothes she asked, "Are you okay?" with concern, whilst maintaining that professional streak. Ava looked at her and answered, "I am okay…. Henry just left me in the building" 

Maya said while scanning her, "I understand, I went to the pharmacy and bought these drugs for you to feel better. Your cortisol level is high right now, so I came here of my own will. Plus you are inexperienced I need to ensure your mental health" 

Ava nodded, she saw Maya carrying the canister with the 'prescribed' drugs, and announced, "These will soothe your nerves" where Ava drank it where Ava subsequently requested the following soon enough the two ladies entered the villa. Maya walks her to the living room, she lets Ava sit in the chair . She asked, "So how was your time with henry last night" 

Ava answered, "It's alright, I guess. I had fun. But.." Ava hesitating in her voice and confessed, "It was really empty, but I didn't know what to do. It's like I want to care about Henry now" Maya disclosed while pushing her head forward, "I understand, he told you about himself didn't he and his ex's"

Ava nods she shared what she feels, "I want to have a relationship with him, despite his flaws" 

Maya burrow her eyebrows and her voiced channeled with conviction, "Now, why do you suddenly want to have a relationship with him, you know any relationship with him is impossible it's all transactional" 

Ava reflexes kicks, "Why do you care, at least I got company!" 

Maya calms herself down as she tries to reason with Ava, "Okay, just listen to me. You're better than this Ava, your neurobiology it's different from a human. I get it! You're lonely, but you're as human as anyone else can be. Even though I am not human" 

Maya eyelids turned to her left with her hands on her lap and confessed, "Well, I used to be until I was damaged and modified by William's Corporation from a war. I had my duties." 

Ava, having understood and asked, "I see… What do you suppose I do" 

Maya answered, "Do whatever you want, if you think you're going to have a serious relationship with Henry after this, you're sorely mistaken" 

Maya continued with presumption of her intentions, "I am here to give you some awareness, Henry cannot be with you Ava… He is there for his playboy image, I mean sure he may be in love with a serious relationship but he can't, he still has to maintain a playboy image, only because people base it on him and it's his source of pride" 

Maya continued forth with a mature attitude, "So if you want to keep hanging out with him, be careful. But if you value yourself as a human or whatever you are you will do best to try to get away from him" 

Ava responded not being proud of her idiocy, "Well now that I am aware of that, I could consider him trying to use me for validation, I could have refused his advances and nothing would have happened. Maybe I will it to happen" 

Maya extenuates the pain, "Hey, cheer up. Right now if Lila would knew this it wouldn't end well for him, and henry is scared of her" 

Ava asks with her face turned detective, "Who is Lila?" Maya made an arch on her smile and answered stolidly, "Not someone who you should concern yourself with. But you will understand" Ava hear her and respond, "I see" Ava makes herself stand up said "I already decided what to do" she stood up and went to the door she used her phone to text an uber driver to the research facility 

Ava continued using her phone, meanwhile Maya was secretly watching. She has already hacked the phone Ava was using when she tried to hire an uber driver to bring her to a location of her work - Maya making a note to herself, "Genesis innovation. Wait, that's an interesting place to be at"

Maya went and approached Ava, "Ava, you don't mind if I interrupt a bit?" 

Ava looked and asked, "What's up, something in your mind?" Maya wanting to help her, "Can I give you a ride, you should tell me something about this place you're going" Ava smiles and amused but not taking her lightly, "Do you seriously have to hack to my phone" Maya tries to lowball, "Come on now, don't forget the drugs I give you to feel better"

 Ava said with hesitation, "Hmm, I don't think so" Maya focused and asked, "Are you sure??" Maya teases where she tempts her, "I have a hover bike with an ion thruster, you sure you don't want to catch a ride with me?" Maya puts hands on her waist with poise and assertion alongside her petite form 

Ava was impressed. She puts hands on her face and says "Yes, please" Maya outward her satisfaction, "That's more like it let me just get my bulldog real quick" Maya starts to run to the hoverbike hidden somewhere outside the building. Soon enough Maya came out of somewhere with the hover bike. She was riding on it her petite figure gracefully on the hover bike and here she is wearing a helmet. 

Ava's eyes widened, "Wow, cool motorcycle. Let me ride" Ava went near the motorcycle and glanced at the craft. The craft has a grey but silver sheen with a long seat that has a straight but little curve with a shield protecting the driver's face when driving and four hover pads that are responsible for the magnetic field suspension and then an ionic thruster on the back. 

Ava went to Maya's back on the motorbike, Maya took off her helmet and gave it to Ava, where Ava wore it and asked while smiling, "Too cool for a helmet, I bet?" Maya says while boasting, "I am an android, remember?" Maya steps on the paddle and the ion thruster of the hover bike blast off, the suspension on the hoverbike was going great, the vision almost distort due to the speed produced by the hoverbike

As the hoverbike continue to move along where it glided to sky, Maya went through the streets in high altitude, she even went onto defy air traffic conventions by literally blitzing and started doing unorthodox flying sometimes below the hover cars and then flying up when hover cars in the air traffic can be seen, Ava held to her back as she drives with full speed and thrill. 

Soon there were mountains, even towers. She decided to join the air traffic conventions where she wrestled with civilian flying cars and then sped them off while Maya was laughing.

 She was really enjoying this, playing car race with anyone even if they are minding their business, soon enough Maya see no towns she went to the lock in the location where she will be going, the grass were getting pronounced and the trees are being noticed, Maya ask while driving through skies "So, you work at Genesis Innovation correct?" 

Ava answers the question with a question, "How do you know" Maya said "I have my ways, lady" Maya boosted the hoverbike reaching maximum speed it was too fast, yet thrilling at the same time. 

Soon enough it reached near the building of the same facility. It slowly stopped and Maya removed her feet from the pedal, "You can go now, do you have InterChat?" 

Ava answered softly, "yeah, you want me to add you?" Maya said "Just tell me your username" 

Ava responded defiantly, "No I am not telling you my username. Just tell me yours" Maya complied, she grabbed her phone from her secure pocket and showed it to her and Ava looked at it where Maya's eyes turned unimpressed and asked, "Can't you just do that with your head?" 

Ava said, "uhhhhhh, I don't know I do it with phone not to rely too much with my cybernetics" Maya eyes turned blank and reacted, "boring, but fair enough" Maya showed the phone to her and Ava added her 

Ava took out her helmet and gave it to Maya and announced where she placed her feet on the paddle in preparation, "We will come in contact later Maya" Maya wore the helmet and saluted where she drove off. 

Ava is finally in her work. She is in the same big research facility she is trying to understand, for her origins. She looks at the same big research facility ominous as usual, but she's ready to unlock her understanding here. 

Ava saw the whole research facility, she saw the same vibe. Like a regular but a reminder of her childhood in a research facility. 

The same secure building she once tried to infiltrate through a fake ID but the security measures were able to thwart her, where after getting negotiating with her mother she manage to secure a job here albeit a boring one

Ava stepped forward, she looked at the people and showed her business id, while smiling putting that charming idol - the soldiers let her in where she went to her office in software engineering. She turned on the computers, but there was a problem. The people were looking at her, some of them even smell her stench, but to a few it's like erotica. 

One coworker came up to her and tapped on her back where Ava looked back with curiosity and asked, "Is there anything you need?" A girl with eyeglasses with circular lenses with short bun hair tells her while biting her teeth, "I think your clothing is a little bit concerning." Ava realizing her lack of modesty, "Ohh I see, yeah. Sorry about that. I will be back real quick"

Ava fixes her clothing, she finds it hopeless to even change considering that she has brought no extra clothes. She went to the uniform clothing store to ask if she could buy a uniform. The receptionist responded, "Yes, we have some exclusive clothes you can use. Hold on, let me get you one, what's your waist size?" Ava answered while maintaining eye contact, "I am small" . The cloth receptionist picked the clothing he chose from the store and showed it to her. A coat with a skirt and a shirt

The receptionist asks "Is this perfect?" however Ava has other plans she went for medium instead and bought the skirt. She walked off with the cloth wrapped in plastic and went to the restroom and locked the door to wear the skirt unfortunately for her hourglass slender figure it's a little too loose and that's good for her she went back to the working area, where people noticed her skirt it was too loose but they all minded their business as they continue to work 

She went to her office and checked maintenance in the code database but this time she is way too nonchalant, not too clunky as if someone who went through a rough night she scratch her hair as her mind is way too scrambled from the stress she has, she doesn't care anymore she even put her elbow on the table holding her head exclaimed"Shit" in an exclamation. 

Ava tries to reframe, "At the very least the skirt was already clean and was somehow iron so the residual heat is still lingering there." 

Ava then chose to focus on her work. She checked the maintenance bug and some vulnerability scans. Another boring work of working the patches, and for some reason she still has fatigue, don't tell me hormones are starting to rebound after this frenetic night of hers.

Ava became agitated, she went unto check on her phone to watch any cat videos she has. She first checks on one kitten doing silly things, and some adorbs to distract her mind from something. She can't help herself but feels a lot of stress with her own mind. She continued to focus on work, she debugged some code and ran repairments on the cloud server and computing. 

Ava announced after a period of hormonal stress, "I have done it." Ava finished with her coding and took a break and relaxed, still trying to handle the fatigue from her hormones, and the utter jaded she is at. She then utter some soft exclamation for a bit before deciding to analyze code with her head still a bit obtuse

She relaxed in her chair, finally satisfied as her steam let loose, she put two hands at the back of her head and closed her eyes, trying to feel calm. She said, "I feel a little better now" 

Ava looked at the computer, and started typing, punching keycaps with her fingers as she did code the system maintenance. She played with dependencies, and even read documents - software engineering… Kinda boring but it's nice to be there to relax. 

Ava stood up and went to the coffee machine, yeah she is still turning heads but Ava is too bothered to even care about those head turning, she fills the drink. Luckily her skirt was medium waist length giving it a rather relaxed feeling, except it might fall down. So Ava has to eat a lot and drink a lot or something like a belt to keep it from falling. 

Ava finishes filling her coffee with a machine where return back to her office to start programming, debugging and stuff. 

This work is so monotonous. Ava became bored she had this irritation itch, what did Ava remember when she had sex with Henry - flashback of her scenes where Ava's body was touched, her embrace of being and her lips being full and her euphoria, Henry's handsome face and body it was enough to make her go crazy but underneath it all was a faded scene, she can never have that experience - not at all. It was so intense for her that she felt appreciated. 

But underneath it all… It felt hollowed, a scene she can never experience. It was so sad, it all felt meaningless. Does she understand sex after dark? No, she was still the same human except her hormones have been given a new light. 

Ava continued programming, she watched code base maintenance and relaxed. While keeping herself in standby she continued doing her job. 

Debugging code, even correcting them, some for data analysis, scientific computing and more Ava became curious. She has no laptop but she has her computer, she was just using her office computer

She checked if there are libraries and dependencies she can use for malware development. She started coding the program in blitz while her cybernetic brain is in use. Her cybernetic brain simulates what this malware should do. 

The schematics are in her head, it will be hard to program a malware and inject it when you don't have the tools for it. Things like man in the middle or reverse engineering software are needed to cut extra time and complexity to create a malware

She typed her program and decided to make a malware in the office computer where she makes a payload or injector to the network to inject the internet malware, and so she did she coded a malware where it has a TCP protocol she can connect secretly with her mind to listen to the internet with cloud computing that can be borrowed from her mind for decryption.

It's a simple program that she can hide in the network while her mind connects to the program to listen to all of the noise happening in the facility, but she has to manually connect to it because she doesn't want to receive noises in her head 

so a manual connection has to be made for this malware, maybe it's not a malware but a listener worm that lurks in the internet with an encrypted shell and an innocuous like name in the traffic, 

And so she created a program that can listen to noises in the network. 

She executes the program, and watches it go, it looks harmless isn't it? Like it's some sort of ping or web connection to a website. 

Very small it's just listening to the noises like a man in the middle, listening to whatever. As the program begins its own function Ava uses her mind to connect to the program

the program reveals a lot of information from the traffic most are redundant as the traffic uses computing power from Ava's cybernetics to decrypt information, not gonna lie though it's better to just show the decrypted information there's too much latency in it with this in mind 

Ava stopped the program through the socket as she reprograms it where it will output the decrypted information after doing some tweaking 

She prepares the program and then runs the program this time with a different backdoor tcp protocol. 

Ava just relaxed, as she connected to the lurking program with a harmless origin, soon enough Ava's brain connected to the program where the program runs silently in the background, where after a few minutes information started to pop at her head. 

Oh look someone texting is someone, oh look a bunch of texts, oh look the girl they are gossiping hope it's not me, and then a nude image of a muscle man by some female coworker, one is playing games another is using the Tor network which can be seen with a lot of packets in the traffic that it's annoying. 

Kill me, there was so much useless information she lost touch of reality, and then suddenly showed interest. Communication about something interesting, it's about a secret meeting that is about to appear somewhere. Location was not disclosed eventually it faded from the listener program

Ava became curious, eventually her head started to ache. She used her hand to hold the muscle pain that's aching on her, "Ahhhhhhhh, this hurts my head hurts, so much information it's crippling. 

She went up from her chair and started to run she detached her mind from the listener program, and then rush to the cafeteria and bought a lot of snack rashly, she was so rancid with the attendant she didn't have a good impression of her but nonetheless gave her the food 

Ava started to ravage on her food like an animal, she even went up to drink water using her mouth in the water dispenser like a desperate dog however, the people watched what she was doing with her mouth it was like a wet dream came to life, the people couldn't help themselves, some watched while a few looked away Ava then detached her mouth from the dispenser and looked at the people

They quickly looked away, ignoring what happened, but Ava's mind was still in a frenzy ; she bit her teeth and went off, no time to think, but to calm down instead. Ava started to walk like a lunatic, before relaxing with her mind. 

She returned to her office. She really needs to take time to think. If she is such a genius, why is she making rash decisions making a listener and synchronizing her cybernetic's computing to decrypt the most secure transmissions in the middle of the network? 

That's already mental torture, unfathomable to even think about even then who wouldn't want to know the secret, to have a clear understanding of what's going around the network. It feels nice to be in control though, so she can't use some sort of memory it seems. 

She needs to build a portal device that can connect to the program listener in the network running in her computer problem, data - much more simpler to just transcribe everything from data to text. What do you think? For now though 

Ava recalls the internal schematics as she terminates the program with all its activities, Ava then rests and plans to leave the facility early while resting in her chair. 

She rested on the chair, before picking herself up to fix the code she has been debugging. She checked the program she made for a man in the middle exploit she did, and then erased it, saving the schematics to her head. In this job she just did normal software engineering work, debugging & maintaining.

 All of this stuff it's pretty standard business. No biggy, but the secret meeting that will be held somewhere got her a little interested - but risk assessment shows up in her mind feedback, is this her learning phase now? 

Is she now concerned, did the hormones finally rewrite her nervous system? It can't be, either way she wouldn't have to risk it. 

Better to make a network mini computer with a wireless driver. She continued doing her software job and then her dismissal came where she left the facility, she went to a taxi and had the taxi drop her somewhere to a mall somewhere in the city of sector 451

Ava arrived in sector 451 town, where she went to the same mall and electronics store. The same man with a futuristic visor that glows red encased in metallic representing the shell of the visor whose front pulse is red while donning a store uniform with a black cap. 

The man welcomed her, "Oh it's you, it's been a while what has my greatest customer had yet to acquire?" Ava looks at him and winks her other eye with her two hands now touching her waist pushing it a little to the left. 

Ava said with her deep green almond eyes with a smile, "What I have always been doing since before" the man looked and was at somewhat surprised on her behavior - the man commented to himself, "Well look who has grown to be a fine lady, you will make a fine women in this world" the man coughs in his hand. 

Ava sarcastically imply, "You know me so well, I have been a little kid when I came to your store when my mother used to spoil me, I was so bland and boring nothing much to offer except exist" 

The man went autopilot while operating a terminal, "Yes, I have known you since years, just carry on make sure to have a sufficient cash for your want/needs" 

Ava nodded and checked around the store for parts, a network driver, a microprocessor, even a bunch of wires and circuits, even a memory storage. Ava went to present her cart list to the Cashier where the Cashier processed the machinery, and the man became curious

 "Ava… I have been wondering how much have you grown? What happened - uhm nevermind" 

Ava crossed her arms and said, "I am surviving now. Not much else to say other than that, all I can do is thrive in my situation and make most of it" 

the man nodded and awaits what's coming at his back where a bunch of stuff that Ava requested for will arrive, after like 10 minutes the stuff arrived and a slider from his back open he grabbed the stuff and calculated the total and disclosed, "That will be 12,000 credits madam"

 and so Ava brought her card to the Cashier and he processed it where the package was purchased. Ava walked away and walked back to Elysium hotel. She went back to her room with a keycard and then fell to her bed.

She rested on her bed, as she ruminate that she resting with the package she had on her side she doesn't even have tools, but she has her mind and her hands to make the equipment she needed
