And so she got up from her bed and started working on the project, she assembled the parts and starts creating a mini computer with a memory storage, even plugging in wires and coppers and then a wireless adapter
It's like a mini computer. This device would be installed using network administration tools and libraries she had worked tirelessly on, even replicating the schematic code of the man-in-the-middle attack exploit she had created in her work.
So now a mini computer that resembled a working but flawed design with no screen? Oh crap not unless she can use her phone as a screen
she downloaded an app on her phone for that microprocessor OS and then connected to each other socket.
So now she can interface with the mini computer with a phone as a display. (Surprise it's like a raspberry pi but cooler) and so Ava installed the network administration tool and the libraries it has 128 gb and that's okay we are not making a console here.
Just a working gadget that can inject an exploit into the network and start listening, and so Ava after 14-16 hours of insomnia started to use her device brashly were Ava executes a man in the middle attack where all data were being intercepted where the decryption is happening and it's being stored to a storage.
Lots of bytes of code to peered through, soon enough Ava stopped the program and then checked the memory. She connected her mind to it and boom reveals a lot of information, calls, messages, even texts, and yes gross things.
And so Ava was satisfied she cleaned the memory storage and was satisfied soon enough she fell to her bed and napped. She continues sleeping peacefully before she wakes up at about 1 pm. She was late for work (or was there really a work?) It's the weekend, she has nothing to worry about now.
Ava stood up and started looking at herself in the mirror the dry clothes before putting her stuff back in the closet, 10 minutes later a loud noise can be heard across the rooms. This couple were fighting, so much noise it can be really heard from here, but Ava continued to ignore it. What good does it do anyway, just leave them be.
Ava just leaves them be, still trying to work out her gadget. She tweaks some settings and the microprocessor operating. She packs it on her handbag and was satisfied now she wants to do regular shopping, problem is she is lonely - she checked her messages, one from maya and the sorts
Maya texted, "How was your work?"
Ava replied, "Not much, except the mundane stuff. How about you?"
Maya texted, "Ehh, same as always maintaining that person's image. Lately he has been hesitating a bit - he didn't brag about you at all"
Ava replied, "What happened"
Maya texted, "Don't know maybe he is grappling with some problems of his own, either way he is up to new exploits"
Ava typed "I don't understand why do you work with him, and why he seems to treat you with respect unlike other girls"
Maya texted, "Why does he treat me with respect… Because I am an android, knacks . Just kidding, he and I go a long way. I was wounded in a war during a terrorist attack trying to combat some people, I killed a lot of people during an incident in another place on earth trying to do my duties and protect the civilians"
Maya texted, "Eventually a laser directed mortar projectile landed near me… My body was already crushed beyond belief… I wanted to scream but I couldn't get my head to do it… my head was getting dizzy, my eyes were still open seeing the atrocities, enemy frontline breaching in with their weapons willing to terrorize the civilians"
Maya text "It was hell, soon enough I was placed in a hospital for a year. Doctors tried to operate me but, every operation it wasn't enough - I needed a new body, this body was beyond repair but again the cost was so high I could no longer move or anything until a few days something has changed, the doctors were reluctant to help and wanted to bring me somewhere instead there Henry showed up with Lila, at first Henry was reluctant but Lila on the other hand was willing to save me, Lila had urged Henry to pay for surviving soldier medical fees to his reluctance it wasn't until he realized the bigger picture, he needed someone capable and tactical"
Maya texted, "And so I was brought to a laboratory where scientists with Henry oversaw all the necessary equipment and engineering to recreate me with cybernetics."
Maya texted "So yeah, I owe my debt to Henry even when he does stupid stuff."
Ava while looking at her phone, texted "Wow that's a lot to take in Maya, I am curious though have you ever had done anything with him"
Maya texted knowing the innuendo, "WHAT NO! Okay hmm, I do cuddle with him sometime but I often refused his advances showed my worth as a secretary and business analytics even checking on trends to help him"
Ava texted and became curious, "What was he like with the other girls?"
Maya texted, "Oh they are blazing hot, some of them are models from the high fashion, bimbos or just girls he picked up from the internet. He does go to date with some of them but he usually finds girls who had low esteem and self centered as he is"
Maya texted, "It's all for his image and the jealousy of others. I did speak with a few of them, they thought they were too good looking for them to look at me or pay me any attention. Sometimes I had to be near them just so to bring Henry's appeal, talk about lady on each arms"
Maya texted, "Sometimes I mock them, drive them around and order them or maybe even bring them food just to tempt them while they are near him with burgers and snacks :InsertTrollface:"
Ava text "I see, have you seen a girl who's a little too good"
Maya bits her teeth and texted, "Let's just say she just used Henry for modelling points, the way she walked was way too provocative it got Henry into a debacle, she even walked away from him like some modelling gig that made it her look like she elevated herself above Henry"
Maya text "Quite the star is she?"
Ava text "I see."
Maya text "As for the girls who were new to the scene, I had to comfort them after their time with Henry and tell them about the reality they are in, and there they choose just like you"
Ava text "Interesting. Why does he have to be this way then?"
Maya text "Don't know… I don't care, it brings a lot of bragging points and monetize him a lot"
Ava looked at the phone and texted, "What's in it for me then?"
Maya text "Oh, well you have a certain autonomy you are not only beautiful but you are smart. You can make a good fashion model or do business, but I don't do business. I am a soldier not a model. Just stick to what you do"
Ava texted, "Okay… it is weekends I think I have a lot of time to do"
Maya did not reply.
Ava is still held to her phone she then asks Maya, "So tell me what is it like to be an android? Something that you and I happen to be"
Maya became very reactive and texted, "Nothing I just don't have agency to experience human flesh"
Maya texted, "Like I am forced to watch all these colors that human flesh experience, it's like that one time in war except I don't experience the human heat that others do. But I can perceive them in real time, I don't know if it's because of real time analysis or just my remaining humanity."
Ava text "I see, very interesting"
Maya text "I will tell you more about my stuff one day, you should be lucky that you still have your flesh body while you live"
Ava replied back, "Very much appreciated"
Ava puts her phone down, and rested - she was already tired, tired she doesn't know what to do anymore.
Ava then pinched her own body, and smiled with her eyes turning cheerful, "Maybe I am as beautiful and dazzling as others thought"
Ava introspect to herself, "Now, that I think about it. My body is indeed unique, I can eat and cook, or even get laid" Ava puts one single hand in her mouth her face turned giggly, she already know that she is not robot but not human either, all she know is that she has the benefits of both
But neither does she think it's a gift but something that she is lucky with.
There may be a time where being flesh would overwhelm her, and so she decided a human metric test but before that she opted for a shower with normal flexible clothes - no nanotech none of that
she went outside of the hotel and start jogging she started to jog she keep track of her every moment, every heart beats, every steps, every miles per minute were all recorded
She continued to jog, she was wearing her normal flexible clothes trying to test her metabolism and her oxygen levels. She wasn't wearing gym clothes, she was trying to measure her average kinesthesia, lung capacity, even breathing.
As Ava's cybernetic tried to measure every impact or speed or even vitals, she was still running with the wind she still wasn't getting tired of herself at all but again the temperature in her environment would probably allow her to maintain dexterity and running speed without sweating.
The area only brimmed with civilian activity since hover cars are still in levitation in sky roads coursing through towers and places, or even descending just to park somewhere and it makes a good environment for Ava to test her acrobatics and human limitations.
Ava soon enough stopped herself, she breathes in and out she managed to secure half a kilometer by just running, she check her sweat drops and there were minimal - she also check if her clothes were provocative or sweaty and surprisingly there were very little sweat drops and she wasn't wearing anything too revealing like last time just regular clothes.
She then checked the stores and bought some synthetic fast foods.
She chewed on it like a child, those McBurgers being swallowed to her transhuman digestive. She was proud that she had above average metabolism.
Maybe she can try to feel good about her own body by exercising, running while being fit. Maybe she can do modeling or fashion events, nah. She wants to remain low profile for a while while having a financial basis, she is still looking for her father tied to her origins.
Ava started to make a plan. She tried to recall every official that is maybe connected with Genesis Innovation Inc, a place of scientists with the hubris of Icarus. What can she do, she can just eat food she appears to be lacking in agency, she can't even fight against the scientist nor trample on the security measures of Genesis Innovation Inc
There is no point to it, no. Ava then finish her meal she was going to do what it all takes but first she need money, she needs to find a way to make money maybe modelling could help secure her finances, maybe she needs to wait more
Ava takes a time to look around the fast food restaurant. She sees children with their parents enjoying their meal, the youth of students enjoying their with each other even laughing. Ava felt lonely, the more she looks at these people the more she craves intimacy - the intimacy that euphoria that made her feel alive
Ava reflected to herself, "Maybe I can talk to these people, please someone talk to me. I really need attention" the noises suffusing the room. Ava went out she went to stores, and checked on every clothing she takes time to look good in the mirror, she wanted to go through a shopping spree until she remembers she needed a screen for her little toy she built
It's either a shopping spree or the screen for the little toy, that would cost her like a lot she had to pick. She checked clothing stores and wore dresses, a sweater or a shirt, or even sexy dresses. She wore them all like crazy even posing them in the mirror to get a boost of self confidence she even even use her smartphone picturing herself in the mirror in the clothing dressing rooms, but she can't afford to be this indulgent right now
She left only bought a few sexy dress and left to go back to buy a cheap LCD display with some new tools, she went back to her room in the hotel she used her screwdriver and tools, she tinkered and soldered the pieces and attach the monitor after like 1 hour she was already done.
(This little toy she built in the hotel room was a mini computer that can bypass a security certificate and run a program where it sends packets with a harmless name and displays like a connection to a website to monitor traffic in the network and decrypt all the data with her cybernetic's brain computing then store them into memory, too bad she has to use her brain power for that.
Ava tweaked her settings, she tested the microprocessor performance and it was subpar but with cloud computing, I think she can use her brain for this.
Soon enough Ava would have to move out soon, so she tweaked the settings and looked at the LCD display featuring the operating system of the device she made with spare parts from an electronics store she always goes to, she looked at the LCD display as she plays around with the device
Ava filled with excitement, "Hehehe, now I just need to amass a high fortune for a quantum processing unit" while tweaking the settings with the controls. Ava then connected the device to the network and her mind wiretapped the traffic on the internet.
Ava can see all what's happening in the network of the hotel she is in, that surge of power flowing through her.
Ava halt the program and look through the memory to see what she can peer into, first is someone's feud with someone in the traffic
(Feud displayed)
Polma: I can't believe you cheated on me, how could you?
Augustine: So what of it, we are still together
Polma: I can't do this anymore you made feel too bad for myself
Augustine: Then leave, I will always find another female.
Augustine: I am leaving with the kids
Polma: I want my lawyer now!
(Ava stopped and moved to another)
LeoNardo: "Yo, have you checked out the new game in Kineticverse?
Rapper345: "Oh yeah that one, I loved it - the VR was amazing
LeoNardo: "damn right you are!"
Rapper345: "So when are we meeting, somewhere in the field with you and our buddies
(Ava moved to another, she peer through every logged memory and packets that's been saved in the memory storage)
Ava then detached her mind from the stream.
She was still holding the mini toy even when she was connected to the mini computer. Ava got herself up and starts looking around, Ava then uses her phone to set up another social media account named "InerrantVirtual"
she posted pictures of the clothes she has been trying in social media, and concoct an introduction in her public social media, "I can stay with you if you were to give me a home and provide for me" with a profile icon of her smiling with her deep-green eyes and her twirling with her hair strand
Ava panned out her profile, and then waited until she couldn't stay in this hotel any longer. It's a really cheap hotel. It does have amenities and technologies, but it's a hotel either way it can get quite worse here.
"I just want another place to stay.. I swear I know what I am doing" Ava mumbled to herself, it has been like a few hours and she hasn't gotten herself someone who would provide for her. She is a flawless engineered female who wouldn't want the company of that kind of girl even Henry can testify that
Ava voiced her entitlement to herself, her eyebrows arching, "Any. Man. Want. A. Piece. Of. Me. Come now, why can't I get someone to pick me up already ? Or maybe they are too busy doing their job, businesses and the sorts and enjoying life. Perhaps I have a wrong conception of males" Ava grumbled in confusion as she checked her bank information and it's still going strong, but it wasn't enough she was overcome with temporary greed
the temporary force that's been consuming her mind for a while. Before snapping back to reality and checking her phone, she looked at the photos she shared online.
Her open social media account name was MizsAva. She shared photos of herself in party dress, a few of them showing her backless with slide cut, one showing her hips while rotating it.
She didn't gain much followers unfortunately, even if she gained attention and that was enough to have her oxytocin satisfied
Ava held her phone to her chest, smiling and giggled , "Once again I am loved" her legs fiddled like a little girl.
She elevates her knee then pushes her leg forward, then happens with another leg taking turns.
She looked at the comments of her posts, saw many people complimenting her however as she check most of them are short and their origins were from the southern side of Earth after like 20 minutes she got a notification of some random person, "Ohhh baby girl, please send me nudes I show you my house now"
(A photo featuring a rugged place whose paint went dry with a cooking pot making a whirring noise with a caption "Together my beloved")
Ava cringed while laying in her bed, she couldn't help but felt like peeing in her leggings and going ape in the bed, Ava contrived an apology, "I am sorry but I don't live in your country" as a reply
Ava moved on, she then continued to drool out to the guys in his feed showing muscles, "Eeeeee" and then did her leg fidgety again. Neither is she resistant to the attraction of the males there.
Ava continued looking at the males in the feed, she turns her phone on sleep mode where she attend to other business
Ava left the hotel and began walking to do other business. She went to an arcade, there was a bunch of VR and hologram stuff.
She bought a ticket and went to a room with VR interface technology she stands up to it and readies herself to shoot a bunch of zombies, she takes one toy gun from the room this gun looks a real energy blaster but it's a toy that can interface with the technology
She takes the technology of the blaster and readies up, in this VR technology she felt her being was virtualized in the simulation a dystopian world she armed herself and started to be aware - a countdown appeared, this dystopian world is where towers were demolished and the skies were murky blackish
A countdown begins
"3"
"2"
"1"
"Kill all zombies!!!!" A voice roared after the countdown
She mobilized, her every steps are making sound as she starts using her blaster she shoots a zombie in the head another one she starts to make a run she jumped on the fences and turned her head to left and blast the zombie's head with the blaster where she started to run she then saw one zombie and started to run to it where she stick her weapon to the guts of the zombie and explode it with her blaster she moved from the falling zombie from it's side and start mobilizing she started killing a bunch of zombies, the more she kill, the more the zombies increased in the horde at this climax she was already surrounded by a bunch of zombie, horrifying looking creatures who were former humans turned into husk only operated by instinct
their saliva coming out of their mouth was viscous green gooey liquid, and their eyes all reddish. Ava was getting nervous, she is going to die soon by these gruesome creatures all moaning for her flesh, until she grabs a grenade virtually and threw it
she killed those ghoulish zombies behind her path to carve it for her survival there caught a mod, it has this special ability that can change the blaster's projectiles she went to it the blaster unlocked a new mod
she switch to this blaster's mod and it started firing like this rocket launcher where it shoots rockets and hit the ground or collide with the zombies causing Area Damage knocking the zombies out
She switched to the default mod and started to rush into the zombies, shooting their bodies before the zombies count to cipher - as the zombies started to grow less salient, a monster came out to the field
this monster has these spider legs, with a shape of spider and the abdomen was large, it has a mouth and it's 6 eyes on the head, red and ready to devour and torture, Ava was disgusted by this monster the monster screeched like a spider and start lounging, Ava head looked up as it was about to land on her, Ava reflex made her evade the attack.
The monster with it's spider legs start rotating where it looked at Ava cold and calculating, and started marching at her where Ava ran as she shoots the monster, after a rapid succession of the projectiles, the monster stopped its locomotion and hop to side of the demolished tower and start running through it
it looked at Ava and it 6 eyes pierced through Ava's skull willing to devour her, it calculates the moves to rip the player apart and so the spider hopped around towers with ferocity
Until she stopped on one tower window where it lounged at Ava with deadly force, the spider landed on Ava and Ava was repulsed by the impact she couldn't walk
She changed the weapon's mod to a rocket and started shooting at it. The spider was furious it screeched in pain before retreating and making its moves however just as things were about to get positive the spider rush from the other angle surprising Ava
where Ava's torso was stabbed by the monster's tendons. Ava felt this excruciating hurt where blue light envelops her and she was transported back to the real world.
There she is all on the floor it was over now, she stood up and checked how many zombies she killed
1548 zombies killed, 0 defeated bosses
With a title, "Game over" marked by a blood texture to it
Ava exits the arcade and she had her fun now, she proceed outside - she sees at the sky it's all blue and the sun is just as bright as it is a glazing nuclear reactor
Ava ventured forth, she went to some guy while wearing regular clothes (she was wearing leggings with a casual shirt, the decal on the middle was cartoon cat's head.
Ava waved her hand towards the guy with her eyes inviting, "Hey, wanna sing with me in a karaoke. Just you and I?"
The young man was like a regular person wearing a hoodie with a t-shirt and trousers, box shaped with black hair and a cute face. The young man was shy he raise his hands and just walks aside he was shy, Ava head was locked on him and said "Uhmm, you don't want to have fun with me"
The young man thought he heard a innuendo and run away Ava turn to disappointment she waved her head and looked for another man to have karaoke with, she started walking asking people if they want to be her partner in karaoke
but they all refused probably because she was so weird but that isn't always the case she gave up on asking for a karaoke she went to the karaoke place by herself until a guy appeared he was lean person with a round face at his 40's he approached Ava while she was paying by herself, Ava looked at him somewhat blushed, she looked at him and asked, "Is there anything I want to do for you?"
The man nodded and said, "I would like to have your company with me and my pals" Ava looked at the innuendo and said, "Alright fine, I was feeling a little lonely. You and your buddies can do some bonding with me" the guy said, "Awesome, let me buy you a ticket out of courtesy" the guy volunteered where he stepped forward and handing out his card for a ticket for this female, the receptionist complied and gave him the ticket
The man pulls out his hand, and made introduction with the female, "My name is Raphael, how about yours" Ava grabbed the hand, while looking at him "My name is Ava, nice to be of company with you and you people" Raphael shakes her hand and feverishly invites, "Likewise, Ava today we are all gonna singers in one room"
Raphael followed to the room where the Karaoke is happening inside, there are few boys gazing at Raphael welcoming him and somewhat bewildered at a random girl, her appearance with a lovely face with captivating eyes with an almond eyes, with porcelain skin, her smooth dark hair was wavy, it's almost like a jet, feminine jawline but heart shaped, her figure is modelesque not too thin but not too fat.
One Teenager who is black with Afro hair wearing a bean, the other one has fair skinned who is quite short with round eyes, the third one with Asian complex who is wearing a eyeglasses looking like the type of a stereotypical nerd
One with Afro hair with a bean lifts his hand pointing at her, "Ay now, our boy Raphael just brought someone we have no clue who - the heck did you brought"
Third one looked at Ava, "Hmmm, can someone like you could be hanging out with us"
Raphael said trying to dispel doubts, "Now now, we don't want to alienate Ava - let's be practice some courtesy and hospitality folks"
Raphael pointed at Afro guy and introduce, "Ava, this is drew" Raphael then pointed at the short guy with round eyes, "This is Herbert", and then Raphael brimmed with ecstasy and friendliness and then went near the Asian complex with four eyes and said "This is Yuan"
The Afro guy looked at Raphael with disrespect, "yeah yeah, you sure about this? Mate? You go crazy, if this lass turns out to be boring that's on you"
Ava steps forward with a smirk in her face, "I can assure you, I won't make this boring and I won't be entertaining your silly impressions - especially your underlying cute suppositions"
Drew looked away and lifts his hands up, "nah nah, this is over we are about to get RUINED so hard because of Raphael" Ava step forward pinches his hair looking at him with a smirk said, "Maybe it's time for you to learn to be still with my presence"
Drew already conceding in a whiny way, "Uhhh mannn, alright Ava you are the queen of this karaoke now"
Ava sat on the coach where her eyes stared at Raphael then asked, "Who's going to be singing?" Raphael said, "Hmmm, how about you Ava. Can you sing?" Ava's eyes then pondered the question as she was scratching her chin
She scratched her chin for a bit, eventually she tentatively nodded, "I will try. This is my first time singing"
Ava stood up she grabbed the microphone as she stood up, the scene in the room changed as holographic technology started to do its magic changing it to the mountain with the starry sky where Ava sang
"I can't stop"
"The loneliness"
"Should have never met that girl"
Her voice became clunky as she reads the lines, singing her heart out - the stars in the hologram was in sync with the microphone's signal processor and her neural patterns, Drew started relaxing in the coach while Ava sang on her microphone
(I can't stop the loneliness by Anri)
Ava continued singing the lines, though her rhythm is clunky she was still in euphoria as she sings her heart out
The short guy with round eyes named Herbert start vibing as he chug bear, and so did the Afro black guy, while the nerd guy named Yuan record her as she sings her heart out
Ava puts a hand on her chest as she thrust it where it rotated at the left side of her torso
Ava continues singing while flexing her hips, the boy continued drinking - Raphael was enthused by her singing even if it's clunky Ava might have been aware but she is still lost with the visceral through its speakers and the room's hologram technology
Soon enough Ava finished her karaoke where the one guy named Drew started to grab a microphone, the scene changed as it turned into the top floor of the condo with bright skies
Guy picked a really casual spring New York like music
(Playing Good time by Owl City)
(Music starts playing)
"Woke up, on the right side of the bed"
"What's up with the spring song inside my head"
"Hands up if you're down to get down tonight"
"Cause it's always the good time"
(Drew continued singing)
Ava started to have soothing vibes, good vibes. This unfamiliar but atavistic feeling before the world entered its Era
He continued singing, Ava and others started to vibe, while drinking wine
Soon enough Ava joined in and the others sang as well, the four started to sing while cheering with each other.
Ava sang holding her own microphone as birds in the holographic view are seen flying while the wind from the sky is flowing vividly
(The perfect American feeling)
Ava started to vibe where the boys were singing while yuan looked at Ava before turning to the screen
They even begin singing other musics with text and changing holographic scenery, where they drank all the booze, Ava was quite the alcoholic as she is in the coach she drank at least 3 bottles she is in the coach trying to enjoy herself before, while inebriated
Raphael then played Billie Jean by Michael Jackson and began singing the lyrics. Raphael continued singing the song by himself while others like Ava the only girl were cozy in the coach.
Soon enough, after an hour has already passed and those boys already had a good time with a random female stranger. The boys started to leave the room where Ava is left alone in the room she looked at the screen she operated the menu and checked the history it appears they sang a lot of songs in the karaoke
Ava stood up and went out of the karaoke and made an exit out of the building, Ava continued walking around her body languidly breathing in the fresh air. She was outside, the night was nocturnal, owls are active as they can be heard miles away. Ava continues walking the futuristic scrapers are there making her feel small and the ecosystem being wonderful, the breeze being cold and fresh, each walk she makes she regret not bringing a sweater
Catching back on the scene with Raphael who invited her to the karaoke party then left the building and walked with the boys. Herbert then approached Raphael curiously, "Why did you invite her?"
Raphael scratched his hair and then giggled, "Maybe I wanted a cute girl to be in our midst" where Ava would not see them again.
Ava continued walking home, she had her fun for this saturday she arrived back at her hotel and started changing into her nightgown and hygiene clean up for tomorrow - what she doesn't know is that she has been gaining traction in social media in her popular account.
Ava relaxed on her bed, she was feeling tired. She had her fun, and it's time for her brain and body to rest and enter the REM state, the tidal in her alpha waves now salient. The air conditioning in her room starts to cool her body down, as she enters the deep sleep her limbs were making little movement.
The sun started to rise, as the sun rises, her windows were bloomed with sunlight casting a bright glow inside, the more it turned accumulates the more it will wake Ava up
As the bright glow casted from the windows grew Ava woke up, it was already 9 am. Maybe it's for her to have fun again . She checked her phone and she saw a lot of notifications. She gained quite the small following. She looked at her provocative posts and there were many people complimenting her, some of them included a picture of her in a backless party dress, at this point she had racked over a thousand more followers.
She checked her phone and looked at the messages
"Hi, I heard you wanted a place would you want to stay in my place"
"Gheee girl you are so beautiful"
"Damm girl, lookin good"
"You should come and hang out with us"
She looked at the comments, she scroll through her own comments - she uses her cybernetic brain to connect any information regarding the users or any connection to Genesis innovation
"Hi, I work for a really cool company - wanna go out with me? I can treat you a nice dinner"
Ava replied, "Yes, sir. When is our date?"
(This scan was leveraged by any memory she has from the information she soured to her brain regarding the sniffed packets she got from her device)
The guy texted after some minute, "At 5:30 pm, in a nice restaurant"
Ava texted, "Nailed, what's the name of this nice restaurant we will be meeting you can't let a girl like me keep guessing"
The guy puts on a smile emoji, texted, "a restaurant somewhere in Aria-c"
"Riva e Ravioli, an italian restaurant"
Ava nodded, she rolled around where head is now staring at bed and searched the place with her phone, image shows a restaurant perfect for a casual dinner night also it served pasta like spaghetti, carbonara, and many dishes - she was intrigued
She simply just waited on the house, and reflect, "I wonder what would this date looked like" she looked at the man somewhere around adult level like 45+ years, little mustache in his mouth area and a beard,
He does have somewhat of a receding hairline but it's not significant, posts show him engaged in political debate while a luxury for power he seems to be the type to flex his connections with corporations and even pictures himself with pioneering technologies.
She saw one photo of him taking a selfie in some tech conference. Ava reacted, "Interesting, he's quite the figure", as she looks another picture there it is him on a yacht with a nephew of his, another one is in a party and this one had kids, "He's celebrating someone's birth, that's so cute" Ava giggled on her mouth while holding her mouth with her arms.
(Shows a picture of him in a yacht with his beard and sunglasses with a nephew on a yacht, while the kid is wearing a birthday with a strap on smiling at the camera with a small cake while the skies are blue and the towers are tall)
Ava texted, "Should I wear my clothes misters? What clothes would you like?"
The man texted, "Something formal"
Ava makes a smirk with her mouth and smiles, "Formal, are you treating me to a delicate restaurant mister?"
The man texted, "Only if you beg for it"
Ava texted, "I am begging right now"
Man text, "Alright… By the way do you have formal clothes with you?"
Ava texted, "Hmm, thinking about it. I don't have any, about this I go buy my clothes somewhere and prepare for our dinner"
The man replied, "I can help, but I want you to have freedom over your clothing preferences. If that helps"
Ava replied while laying in the bed, "Certainly, will you be picking me up?"
Man texted, "Not sure, but a place to stay most likely just ask"
Ava texted, "Well, looking forward to our date"
Ava went off her room and exit the Elysium hotel carrying a handbag, she went to deluxe clothing store, she explored clothing stores even designers one, nothing satisfying, she looked another store there it is for females - she walked around like a connoisseur trying to examine every clothes, before the receptionist steps in it was a male of sorts, this one has a futuristic monocle with an orange light wearing a business suit, clean hair but masculine and young.
His arms were on his back and then asked, "Hello there, how may I help you?"
Ava faced the person's face and answered, "I wanted to know a clothing that fits the term, 'formal' for my date in a italian restaurant"
The man nodded and then walked to the section showing the clothes for her preferences. One has an asymmetrical shoulder like dress, another the regular, and then a kylie wrap dress and various clothing types that are considered to be many with different colors the man simply looked through the clothes
Ava looked through her various clothes before picking one. She saw a dark velvet with off shoulders. She inspected it with her hands in the hangar. The man went near and asked, "Did something pique your interest?"
Ava nodded, "This cloth would do the fitting for my date tonight, show me anything about dress"
The man acquiesced and then touched it where he then takes it from the hangar and brings into a cylindrical wide shape it levitated the cloth where nanites spring forth from the cylindrical slip open case then combined itself on the cellular level to morph into a human body it had a unique sound when combining together
The man remarked, "This velvet is equipped with environmental and cold adaptability.
Any time you're in a cold environment or when your body is in sweat, the nanofibers will ensure that your psychology is comfortable.
Also it has a capable of remorphing based on one's figure, I ensure you that you would be turning head while feeling comfortable in your velvet miss"
the man tickles his own fingers as if he is scheming, Ava was curious she asked the man, "How much is this can I try it on?" the man nodded, "Yes, you may please move to that direction" he pointed where the changing rooms are, where Ava outside changed to the dark dress velvet where after some time of changing she emerged from the changing room, there it is Ava in her dress, she looked every part her dark hair, her deep green eyes, her hourglass figure it was enough to make a good impression.
The man stoically stood and complimented, "Well look who emerged from the shadows. May I know the name of the soon possessor of this cloth" the man bowed with a palm on his chest
Ava giggled, and reciprocated, "Well, smooth-talker the soon possessor of this dress that will emerge from the dark valley with its mist would be named Ava"
Ava puts a finger on the man's lips said "You will do well to remember that" the man lifts himself up and ask, "May I process the card you have given me, it will be my honor"
Ava nodded and then went to get her handbag
She grabbed a card then handed it to him where the man processed it, it unfortunately cost a lot - there was a major subtraction in her card, 18,000
Ava was evanescently shocked but she picked herself up. She thanked the gentleman who bought her the dress, as she went back to the changing room where she returned to her normal dress carrying the plastics bag to the exit of the boutique
As she arrived back in her room, she inspected the new dress she observed it was very silk and blackish
she texted the person, "I am ready"
the person replied, "Well will be seeing you in the Italian restaurant soon at 5:00 pm, make sure to get ready, I might pick you up?"
Ava asked through text, "What location would you like to pick me up?"
The person gave the location, somewhere around the city. Ava looked at it and said, "Very well . Do I need to wear makeup?"
The person replied, "Up to you, but I prefer that you eat the dishes without feeling conscious of your makeup - in any event where it got ruined"
Ava replied, "Well I am discovering my gluttony, so will see you there"
Ava prepared a little eyelash, nothing too important, just enough to pass off as glamorous for the guy.
It was already near evening but past afternoon where she starts to head out, she went out to the street carrying her handbag nope not with the tool she developed
She manages to arrive in the city by just walking with the velvet dress, there it is head turning thingy - it feels like she is being watched again but it's not like last time is it?
She waved her flown black hair with her and smiled and said, "Sorry boys nothing good will come out from looking at me. I have an exquisite date with someone"
a kid passing by said, "Wow is that a princess I saw from that one cool sci fi movie, where the guy saves the girl from a monster about to destroy the whole world" Ava just froze and cringed at what she just heard, at this point forward she wanted to die, nothing else matters anymore.
She looked at the air traffic of the hover cars before one car arrived, it was a regular sleek car. Old fashioned but classic it descended and then it leaned forward where it parked in her front
The man somehow had more beard with little less mustache, and said wearing glasses, "Get in"
Ava went to the side and opened the car where she entered the vehicle. The interiors were exquisite as the man drove and introduced himself as, "Kurt" while steering the wheel and tapping on controls and gears as the flying classic vehicle lift off
Ava puts a hand on the door as she carries her cheeks with her hand. Eventually the man asks, "How are you?"
Ava said with rather disinterest, "I am doing alright nothing too fancy"
Kurt makes a smart quip, "Well you wouldn't be feeling that way once we arrived in the restaurant"
Ava nodded, Kurt continued driving his vehicle before he parked his car in this Italian restaurant as soon as they descended both of them exit the vehicle and went to the restaurant, Kurt ask for a table with his finger pointing up while on torso level, "One table please for me and my lady"
The guy escorted the lady to their table where Ava takes a sit on a chair with a very wooden and regale texture, the table was circular covered with a white blanket, the material had transparency
Ava checked on the menu, and asked for one dish, Fish with olive oil. The man complied, where he signals for a waiter and then soon enough the waiter attended to them about to enqueue their orders. As the waiter disappeared, Ava tried to grace Kurt, "So tell me about yourself" her eyes felt reserved
Kurt said, "Nothing much really, just want to get to know you"
Ava asks with her eyes not being convinced, "I don't think it's because I am pretty am I not right?"
Kurt answered, "Most perceptive." Kurt then followed with, "You see Ava, the organization wanted me to give you a place - a place where you will be training in"
Ava closes her eyes, "What do you know about the organization?"
Kurt answered with a smirk in his eyes, "Yeah, I do know about the organization. And I also know you sniffed the traffic of the network in one research facility"
Ava became offended she smashes the table, somewhat frustrated before calming herself down, "Tell me what you want from me"
Kurt handed out his phone showcasing new updates and a new location for her stay, it was somewhere in a different neighborhood, harmless no indication of experimental scientific breakthroughs
but there is a kicker the neighborhood has been installed with a couple of secret entrances to one of the underground facilities
Ava was intrigued, she looked at the phone and said, "I see" and then her acknowledgment turned to enquiry, "What do you know of my father?"
However Kurt turned confused and then his mouth spoke, "Your father, I don't know much about your father, but I know your mother very well. She used to be my partner until we broke up"
Ava asked with some concern, "Any reason why you broke up?" Kurt answered, "Work related stuff. She was chosen to be a progenitor of a new species, the first to be selected. We remained friends and had each other support"
Ava grasped her fist while it was on the table, "Her, she kicked me out didn't she?" Kurt nodded, "Yes, I am aware" Ava looked at the man, then asked, "what's this organization all about?"
The man grabbed his menu with a teasing smile, "I would tell you, but then I would have to kill yah" but Kurt excused himself, "Nahh just kidding, it's tied to a secret society. People there are not good, all of them are all about the new world order" soon enough the waiter arrived and handed down dishes, where the dishes are placed out
Ava then asked with solemn expression in her face, "What's in it for me then with the organization" Kurt answered, "They have recognized anomalies on you? Said you will be useful, your training will begin tomorrow. Say, for a robot girl how much are you like Cassandra"
Ava said "Cassandra, who? Ohhhh" kurt grins frustratedly, "She was a beautiful lady, people loved her even if she a part politician she was a model - that many men especially me want to get a piece of her"
Kurt brings out his phone and showed a picture of her, a graceful picture of her with closed eyes
Her hair was a little more brunette with a figure that was graceful. She was wearing an feminine clothing style with a black corset and white blouse . In the picture she is seen walking, Ava gasped, "She looks like me doesn't she? Except her hair was more brownish than the last time I knew her"
Ava's admiration for her mother's beauty increased, Kurt blushes and said, "She was quite the femme fatale when it came to her work" Ava remarked, "Why am I not surprised you would say that"
Kurt giggled, "Hehehe" where he halt his speeches as kurt grabs the utensil and starts slicing his food
Ava did the same she looked at the delicacy that is an ice cream in a glass with pride in her eyes as she doesn't seem to care if it's gonna smudge her makeup Ava continue chewing her food with joy, after all she only has eyelashes
Ava asked with curiosity, "I don't understand why did you bring me to a 'date' then?"
Kurt replied, "It might look like a date to you but this is just a meeting between you and her. I only tested your decisions, and here you are well dressed, doesn't that say more about you than me?"
Ava solemnly looked down from her delicate ice cream on a glass and said, "So you just let me think what I would assume, instead of correcting me" Kurt grabs a napkin and wipes his mouth where he recited the saying, "If your enemy makes a mistake, don't correct him"
Ava frowns and went tsundere, "I am not your enemy, I am your 'meeting' partner"
Kurt amused, "Aren't you like her"
Ava confused, "Who? Oh my mother, you get a spark seeing her spirit or something?" turned mocking
Kurt holds his laughter, "Who knows? You will be leaving with me on my place, your fate is sealed"
Ava then turned a blank face, "Do you have a wife or children or something?"
Kurt with a professional, "Only nephews, I did have a wife…. But she died long time ago - I mean your mother was my lover before but we broke up due to her ties to this organization where I sought another wife"
Kurt confessed, "I was really bitter when Cassandra left me for someone, we were both in love - but she left, I didn't understand why until I became a slave of the organization she was once a part of"
Kurt furthers, "She apologized to me, and we made amends - she told me about you and how much she is so concerned with your future years after you were born"
Kurt eye turned sorrow, "Then she told me, she was trying to gain the affection of the man responsible of your existence - that he was a mad man in fear that her offspring would feel detached from their father figure - ahem I mean your father existence"
Ava asked, "Do they love each other?"
Kurt answered, "Most complex question but in the context of dynamic however, it's not an easy answer. Your brother was a normal child, your mother told me she seduced him with an aphrodisiac…. Just so she can give you someone to contrast your nanotech gifts with his"
Kurt continued, "Your father was incensed, they had a fight verbally, but eventually they agreed. He tried to obsessively use his new prototype to turn him into a cyborg but your mother pleaded his case, saying it's a part of their love - an organic reminder of their love beyond science"
Ava weeped wiping her tears and said nothing, where eventually she asked, "So what about me, where is my part in this?" Kurt stared at her and said, "You will be Cassandra's replacement, your mother informed me before you get kicked out, that you will be on your own and then by coincidence work for the organization. Everything about you has been planned out from the beginning"
Kurt also disclosed, "I also had to appeal to your feminine nature, by putting on an act awaiting my right time"
Ava nodded her eyes turned determinant, "Alright fine, I will work in this Organization you speak of then if it means I can change the world"
Ava then said, "I want you to ensure your deal, and make sure that my brother and mother are compensated… I will play my part"
Kurt agreed and announce, "Very well that's the spirit, we will be heading to the place you are currently residing in where I will assist you packing your stuff" soon enough they finished their dinner and then exit the restaurant and soon departed from Aria-C
Eventually they head to the inside of the hover car, and Kurt drove off
Ava nodded, and then asked him, "Will I be doing the same thing my mother did back in the organization"
Kurt looked at her, her eyelids flickered to her, "I think you already known answer to that question"
Ava was silent, accepting her fate in the grand tapestry of fate - relegated to her faith
Ava looked at the moon shining with its tower's lightning and the air traffic of hover cars roaming around the skyscraper towers, she quietly gazes out the windows
Kurt continues to drive throughout the road and says nothing having felt Ava's unsureness while driving his car
Soon enough Kurt parked near the Elysium hotel where they exited the car. Ava gently asks Kurt, her face not sad or happy, "Can you help me?"
Kurt did his part and went to the room where he carried the stroller of the bag and Ava did her part packing her bags and clothes before they arrived in the car and placed it at the back of the car.
Eventually the car ascended and soared through the skies, for some time they manage to arrive in the new neighbourhood, the houses were different it does have the same metallic plastic material and architecture like the one neighborhood she used to live with her mother
Ava saw a two floor building with a garden. It was like a regular house. Ava looked at her uncle said, "Your house is large uncle kurt" Kurt smiled and went to slide the door, and arrived inside the house
Ava explored the building, the living room with a TV, Kurt gave a tour of his house, he showed the bathroom, and others - Ava explored the house, the garden in his house being greener than usual. It was perfect, soon she was introduced to her room to stay.
She gazes on the room, it was clean there were no computer, just a bed and a dresser - uncle Kurt gives a tour, "This here is your room, where you will be placing your future stuff"
Ava looked at the bed, and was impressed she thanked the man as she placed her stuff in the room and start packing her clothes in the drawer she was so happy
Soon enough she finished preparing everything her clothes and stuff now it's time for tomorrow, she grab her toothbrush, and changed in the bathroom she was in her nightgown again but Kurt brought something, it was a nanotech sleep suit that will allow her body to be regulated since her days in Cassandra domicile
