Soon enough a prerecorded message appeared, a sound visualizer was then seen in the screen it started to make its motion
"Ava, I have prepared another training for you and it's not going to happen here? The coordinates will be handed to you now"
A wireframe map appeared on the screen where it pinpoints and show multiple images of its area
Ava got up and started driving there.
She headed out of the room's door and travelled there through trains even some walking
There she saw an area of grass, and futuristic crates. It was a secluded place, the sky was dark and the moon shone bright in the sky, trees are there
Ava examined the crates, she forcefully hatched it open - she saw guns and stuff
Ava openly examines the gun, it was a long rifle of sort that can shoot armor penetrating bullets, where she realizes that this a dangerous test she grabbed it and started reloading it.
She went to the other crate and saw a local field disruptor
"No that's too heavy this is not a video game where you could carry two heavy weapons - this is real life"
Ava went through every crate, searching for an adequate pistol for her survival - and so she did, she navigated through every crate before having a grab of a pistol. She prepared herself, she reload the gun and readies them - problem is she has no dexterity, one thing she lacks
After about 10 minutes, a two-legged mech appeared from the trees it had two weapons serving as arms where it serves to lock on Ava, one on the left was a high energy cannon, one on the right was a machine laser gun
Ava's eyes widened at the sight , "Oh no, why is that here!"
Ava readies her armor penetrating bullets, where she starts to move she rush through every tree, the mech continues searching for Ava, it has a laser point on the machine laser gun and kept searching for her in infrared sensor and image recognition software
It kept moving around the arborescent forest, where it spots Ava it prepare to shove fire at her, before Ava decides to fire her rifle at the mech, it did damage but then it was gonna shoot an energy beam on her, a surge of energy builds up at the end of the barrel where it points at her, it fired but Ava dodges it by jumping away from the energy blast
She was panicking, she couldn't contain this breath - she was exhausted, as she tries to breathe in and out staying out of the mech plain sight even hiding behind a tree
Ava decides to use her mind to hack the mech, she engaged the mech with her mind luckily it had no security measures
The mech's screen glitched however the mech's AI recognized the effect where it spoke in a menacing voice, "Ha-ha so subject 1 has decided to use her power… I am a mech designed to crush you"
Ava grips on her rifle as it plans to rush hastily, "Who are you? And who sent you here?"
The mech's AI said the following albeit in the menacing tone, "I am an autonomous war-machine created by Victor Sumeris, and you are the one I am sent to crush"
Ava bites her teeth, "What does Victor Sumeris have to do this"
AI discloses the following, "I am my own programming, and my creator have set sights upon you"
The mech was still scanning the forest as it walks
The weather was cold
The mech decides to switch to radar mode, where it use the radar to lock on the heat index of the target, it decided to be a mortar where the mech sits and points the energy cannon towards the sky while calculating the energy it needs to displace in order to hit the target from the clouds, prioritizing mortar offenses
The mech was in stasis until it rotates, it was already pointing at Ava's direction it fired
Ava heard the fire, and she ran
Ava exhales frustration as she runs, "What is it with my father!"
As she runs away from the area, the energy beam went down and what emerged was an AoE blast shooting Ava's body out in the air with staggering G-forces
Ava then hit a tree, she gets up and starts to locate the mech, as soon as she spotted the mech she unleash a burst of ammo, during a rapid fire of bullet the shell became vulnerable she seize her chance to wirelessly hack the mech's system again, only to send another wave of armor penetrating bullets upon the shell, ever hit builds pressure on the armor palate
After a rapid burst fire it eventually breaks, where Ava rushed away from the mech's stunned state to open a local crate
She placed down her main rifle and gets a grabs of a local field disruptor, she ran with gifted biology and starts charging her gun towards the mech
As soon as she hit the trigger, the projectile rippled through the air with crackle where it collided with the mech's armor as it begins to make contact, the mech started to glitch out - the particles of the projectile caused a phase shift in the magnetic flux of the area - it was disrupting the mech's internal central processing unit before the whole system short-circuit itself
Ava finally relieved that it's over, she smiles through the pain her wolf cut hair all ruggish, her clothes have been a little torn apart she was like a soldier
She angled her head upward in the sky and whispered to herself, "Here I have yet to ponder the greatest multiplicity of existence" where she fell to the grass, the cold air breeze through her clothes and skin
For about 1 hour, a drop ship descended from the sky, the ship has ion thrusters with wings, it can navigate pretty much anywhere - a bunch of soldiers descended they saw fires and started to spray the forest, while rescuing Ava with the mech being surveyed by troops
Ava woke up in her room she was badly injured, a few burns accumulated in her skin, her porcelain skin no longer pristine but at the very least her body retains her vitality
Uncle Kurt appeared through the door of her room, she checked on Ava and asked with concern, "How much are you willing to replace your mother's legacy"
Ava eyelid looked at him and answered, "I don't know… But I know this is my life now as a training agent"
Uncle Kurt puts an ice pack on her head where Ava remarked with a smile, "How primitive do you have to be with me?"
Kurt teased, "As much as I long for the past, dear"
Ava closed her eyes as she rested on the bed, all she can do is relax in her bed hope for her recovery
She stared at the wall, she didn't have anything to do but to rest, she has been planning on something but she is still in her recovery period
She tries to think what she wants to do in her mind, but nothing came up her body felt
but something is missing, why did her father sent a mech after her, the mech was definitely strong and overwhelming - it possess capabilities that can obliterate other people, area denial capabilities
The aftermath gave her cognitive knowledge of her biology, her physical stats not scaled into numbers but ideas of it
Should she do martial arts? Should she focus on her brainpower? What are the other talents that she has? Is her intelligence a byproduct of advanced technology?
The more she thinks, the more her mind becomes confused. Meanwhile as she rest on her bed, she was trying to process information regarding her father
Why does virtual sentiment look like Cassandra?
Why does he get offended when I question or take up about the sentient's appearance?
She even processed wide range of technology that spans applications ahead of today's technological standards - alongside an age somewhere around 67-158, a wide range she could come up with
What are the reasons for his technological superiority, is it age, experience. It's not normal to synthesize genome with silicon like properties unless he have mastered chemistry and electronics at unparallel level or have spent many years perfecting his work
And if he really has spent that century of work bettering himself and using the funds of the organization, why work on Project Cybergenesis?
His ideas are idealistic, but he needed the organization to agree with him.
An weave of ideas have collected together
He has inculcated his pride with scientific superiority, has replaced everything virtue, love, humanity, personhood for the sake of scientific achievement - not only that his goal seemed to hold a high place in his heart, he is resolute in his goals - because at the end of the day the end justifies the mean
Her mind's gear kept rotating, through every possibility where her mind echoed, "Or so he thought"
Yeah, it was human very human, no mechanical precision, no scientific reasoning, no abductive reasoning, neither of those simple inferential styles like Deductive and Induction - it was not by computer either
Her head stop for a second, Victor does not concern her anymore
But did she figure it out, reducing the very shrouded nature of her father into smithereens?
No! She did not resolve her problem nor decided that she won't have anything to do with him
Her mission is not complete, it hasn't even started - whatever happens was just merely in preparation
Was it a test?
No idea
Those were the thoughts of her mind, it was clear and precise as it needed to be
She grabbed her phone, and texted Maya in InterChat, "Hey, how are you doing?"
She hasn't received a response but after like hours later, "I have been doing great"
"I also heard you got injured"
Ava was notified by her messages where she opens the chatting app and typed, "Yeah I have been injured"
"I have been in rather reckless and foolhardy situation"
"Also I have this weird conspiracy between me and my 'boss' about the facility I am in got hacked"
Maya feigned ignorance in the chat, "boss?"
Ava texted, "Yeah boss"
Maya texted, "interesting"
Ava texted, "I got attacked by a mech last night"
Maya texted, "Care to explain"
Ava texted, "it was hard to fight, it said it was for my training.. Was that even necessary?"
Maya laughed, "You never know"
Ava texted, "I am gonna have to recover first and foremost"
Maya texted, "You wanna meet up? I am still trying to tend to Henry's interest especially with the girls he hang out with"
Ava texted, "Let's not talk about Henry…. Although I do get curious about his daily life - I resent that he ghost me"
Maya texted, "I understand…"
"It's simply in his nature to do so, but he had reconsider you for a bit"
Ava's eyes sparkled, "Really?" in the chat
Maya replied, "Yes, he did, are you aware as to why he womanises?"
Ava answered in the chat, "To peacock himself of course, did he peacock himself towards others after my last meeting with him?"
Maya texted, "No… He did not push himself regarding you… He withheld himself from his habits for a week"
Ava texted, "Interesting…"
"Any reasons?" Ava further with a question
Maya answered, "No idea… Maybe he just wants time for himself"
Ava texted, "I see, what day do you wanna hang out?"
Maya replied, "How about at saturday"
Ava text, "Most pleasurable, is Henry coming?"
Maya replied, "No clue"
(Maya stopped responding, leaving Ava somewhat unsure)
Ava return back to her rest, she watched drama or shows in her mind by interfacing with the house's antenna interface
While resting in her bed with a blanket, she continued binging
She watched Seinfeld, Young Sheldon, and then some 28th century movies, Jumbo Jack (This is a made up name btw) Orwell Escape (Escape from 1984?) Crime and Punishment (Finally this novel has its series)
and this spanned to a few days, Ava looked at her body one last time - she had grown fond of being lethargic with herself, all these entertainment had provided her the best distraction
It wasn't until she was contacted by Maya in text, "Wanna meet up" in greeting, Ava eye's shuts open she he has been binging on her own bed for days, every time she awoke she would stand up to get cereal and some synthetic food
The moment she saw the message, she popped out her lollipop with her fingers - her hair is dishevelled, more so than her hair's wolf cut style
She scratched her hair as she processed Maya's words, she responded with, "Wait - I am a bit messy atm"
Maya replied with an amused face emoji
[:AmusedFaceEmoji:]
"You have been lazy haven't you been?"
Ava texted back, "Don't mock me"
"I will get prepared, what kind of meeting are we talking about"
Maya texted back
"Please don't get mad when you hear this, but crucial information about you and other kids, even high tech weapons"
Ava's eyes widened and texted, "So you are the one who hacked Genesis Innovation Inc"
Maya texted, "I had to follow orders… Unfortunately the team was injured"
Ava's eyes, "Injured? What do you mean"
"Someone sabotaged our mission efforts to exfiltrate… And that someone decided to give me some information as a bargaining chip to abandon the mission"
Ava texted, "Can we meet somewhere?"
Maya responded, "Yeah we can… I am in a rather high-end party atm, monitoring him"
Ava texted, "I will meet you there"
Maya texted, "Only VIPs, unless of course you want to be a trophy - cause there is a couple of models here"
Ava texted, "Hmm, don't worry I will make sure to look pretty"
"Where is the party taking place"
Maya texted, "On the penthouse of the highest tower in the world"
Maya texted, "I will inform Henry of your arrival, it's a place far away from Sector 451"
"I will make sure to have my associate bring you here"
Ava texted, "Just pass me the encrypted coordinate, I will crack it and then head there just time"
Maya sent the encrypted coordinates
Ava opened the encrypted file where she opened it - she opened a secret app she has developed before to crack any encryption
Ava opened it, and after 10 minutes it got decrypted while it was decrypting she has been preparing herself with a makeup with the off shoulder velvet, she took a shower, painted her lips with lipstick, use eyelashes while making her face more pristine, even styling her eyebrow
As soon as she finish, she checked her phone with the software if it finish decrypting the encryption, it finished and looked at the coordinate for pick up
She head to the location, it was a secluded place full of grass where a forest of trees could be seen a far away
The forest could be seen from a distance, flowing with its wind - the place she is in isn't so far away from her house, it only took about 2 kilometer of traversing to reach there
The air is cold and its breeze could be felt from afar, she looked at the sky where one ship appeared, it has four ion thrusters with wings - it looked like a transport ship a size about 6 cars stack together
It glided through the air, where it started to land with gears coming out of the shuttle - a man came from the back it was lean man with a suit wearing white gloves
Ava walked to the man, where she asked, "Are you here to take me to the party?"
The man with a slick hair nodded where he pointed his open hand to the ship, addressing Ava elegantly, "Good assumption miss, should we head to the ship" the man escorted Ava to the ship
As they entered from the back of the ship, the ship shuts off its back door where it starts to make a lift
Ava could see the pilot in front, it had a helmet on with its face covered
As it the ionic thrusters points downward to increase repulsive from away from the land it rotated
a massive amount of pull to the sky are then unleashed as ionic thrusters rotated to and the ship's wings did its aerodynamics
The ship glided through out the sky with enough energy it was slowly as it reached the altitude higher than the clouds, Ava could see the sky she was mesmerized by how dark the space is and the greyness of its cloud
As the ship soared to the sky - the designated place to land was far away from her birth place it would take 1 hour of flight without traffic to reach to the destination, the distance was like moving to another nearby country
For a while the ship was suspended in air, maintaining altitude level with pressurizing technology to keep Ava safe, Ava continue to sit in the chair with a seat belt on
And then after a long while of idling in the ship, the driver announced to the man, "We are nearby the destination, prepare for landing"
Ava heeded, where the ship angle tilted as it ionic thrusters and its wings reached for a city below
As the ship tilted towards the city, a skyscraper would be viewed up-close dwarfing the surrounding buildings and towers, including a Circus wheel it was like Las Vegas city with all the beam lights shining the sky
The man answered, "Welcome to City of Gomorrah"
Ava could sense the city, she saw through the windows of its glamorous appeal, a stark contrast of her home city Sector 451 which had better ecology than here
But in here the biggest tower is about 4 km tall, it has a spiral geometry around it, with windows and it appears that the party would be at the climax of the tower featuring a penthouse, its light were like vivid glow, while the glow around the spirals features its vivid animation of flowing substance of gold - with the penthouse at the top
It was the tallest building, dwarfing a multitude of nearby constructions as if the tower has been prioritized by robots and construction workers due to its greed whilst promising fortunes, in contrast to Sector 451 with its monoliths that gives a dreadful feeling of being an ant in a world of power and insignificance
The clouds were murky black as the moon shone from atop, both the tower and the moon mix to make a spectacular view of babylon - as it doesn't hide from it's excess
The ship continue to glide before reaching to the landing pad, from a vantage view there were many people partying, it was like a lounge in the top nothing but people with suits who were decadent than decent, some ladies were swimming in the pool as the others were well-dressed - usually it's not normal for parties to have both well-dressed men with females who are swimming in the pool
luckily the ratio of males were more higher than girls, as these men are powerful - we don't know about the girls either we can only assume they are models who are allured to this place
As the ship descends to the landing pod, few of the man gathered around with Maya wearing a professional business outfit with her arms crossed, awaiting Ava without a smile but with a serious appearance
As the ship was about to finish its descent, the ship's back opened. Ava saw what's appearing on the back of the ship, it was opening she took off her seatbelt and went to the exit
Ava came out of the ship, Ava looked around where she saw Maya with her professional dress, she had a outdo brown hair with blue iris eyes, with a coat and a blouse with a skirt, petite appearance yet slender, the men around her appeared to be her security guards wearing both a suit and sunglasses for secrecy
As Ava approached Maya, "So how are you and Henry so far"
Maya straightens her eyes, "Seeing you make me feel ambivalent"
Ava felt amused with her now styled wolf cut hair
"Now why the personal feelings?"
Maya replied, "It's none of your business, I sometimes forgot how shallow you can be"
Ava became concerned with Maya's comment, "Shallow? How shallow can I be?"
walked off the pod, where Maya followed Ava. Powerful men hanging out in this place, one of them had an extremely attractive female, she had silver hair with brown eyes with a figure that is tall she could be seen holding herself to a man who was somewhat old, the lady fashioned a cocktail dress with lace around the cleavage extending to her neck with floral black lace on her arms that extends to her elbow separately, wearing high heels
Ava looked at the female, mesmerized - however something about this woman pique her, her advanced analysis compared her between Thea and her, the man who she was with appears to be an old man
Maya appeared behind her, "I want to show you a depth - a depth about the children of the innovation inc, with their parents who abandon them. Someone might have said to you that parents came from lowly places while most are true
the intentions of Genesis Innovation Inc is that they also bribed a million of credits to few people as a more lucrative alternative to abortion"
Maya implies the following, "This woman was the mother of Thea, one of the most glamorous model who has no shame - she was just about to abort her child, until someone offered a bid of egregious fund for her birth just for her continue her life of decadence in luxury"
Ava's eyes widen she couldn't believe what she heard, but her mind became skeptical, "Where is your proof" Maya sighs as she pulls out her hand where a projection of query into Thea's exfiltrated information shows with her mothers name, it then gets a grab of the mother's data
Ava asks the following, "Why is she here"
Maya looks at her, "She is not the only one, after we hacked the work of the organisation. Uhm never mind there is much to do"
Ava looks at the lady smooching with the man shameless like a real gold digger, angered but controlled herself where she complied with Maya and followed her
Ava followed, she felt very disgusted - the strippers, the powerful figures. She had an ugly inkling these people were connected to the kids of Genesis Innovation Inc or any facility
Soon as Ava followed Maya she is followed with Henry with the two models basked in bikini and panty cozy up on him while drinking a glass of beer
Ava stared at Henry, as he chug on a glass of bear, "You are so deplorable as always"
Henry eyelids stared at Ava, "Oh, it's the poster child with daddy issues - big potential but a slut anyway"
Ava makes a rush about to punch him but she got held by two security guards, Ava kept trying to extricate from the men
Ava ask, "Who are these people, and why did you invite them"
However Henry was too busy smooching with the body and lips of a voluptuous model with black hair, his head rotated to Ava, "To have a party, a celebration of course - giving them a piece of their medicine for giving glory to the facility you work in"
"Machine world, ay"
"Ava… I wanted to give another proposition", He asked, without any pretense but a straightforward
Ava answered, "I am done working with you, I know my worth now Ava" Ava uses her mind to hack the security robots but it glitched in her face and displayed a laughing face.
Henry was just arm shouldering the model with black hair with grey eyes whose cheekbones are prominent than hers, her body appears athletic, the other model to his right was a girl whose long hair is blonde with green eyes combined with a rounder jaw
Ava was restrained by two guards, she asked, "Maya… why? Did you set me up?"
Maya coldly looks at Ava, "We need something from you Ava. Your cybernetics, if you don't comply we would expose the public about Genesis Innovation Inc and your father's work would be condemned publicly - please cooperate with us, Ava"
Ava looks at Maya she was sad, her face was sad, "Okay - I will but what about these people why invite them"
Henry answered, "So you can gain insight and see the world for what it is, this is the kind of people that your pops have been dealing with behind the shadows when it comes to the wealthy part of society"
Ava screamed at Henry, "Don't MENTION about my father you sleazy twat!"
Maya slapped her face while Ava was restrained by two man
Ava cried, Ava look at her where her mind decides to hack her android body - but a countermeasure was built causing her irritation due to Maya's honeypot technology where it would redirect the connection to a virtualized one
Ava felt hopeless here, they have studied her and have improved upon that
However Ava doesn't give up, she was about to initiate the contact to her father to send attacker robots but the moment she was about do that, Maya pulls a gun at her head
Maya peered at her and said, "Talk, you will agree to this - I am sorry Ava but we are inherently selfish creatures I am just doing my job"
Ava looked at her, "Fine, I understand"
Ava looked at Henry, "What do you want with my cybernetics"
Henry answered with a serious tone, "I want your expertise Ava, I could offer you a million if you could assist me with cybernetic research with succession"
Ava became confused, "Huh, I don't understand, aren't the scientists and engineers in your corporation already capable of that?"
Henry answered, "Yes, but you are the only one here who is deeply intricate with cybernetics, - you breathe it Ava…"
Maya contributes to the exchange, "Our sabotage of the research facility was thwarted by someone, however she made a deal with me and gave me some exclusive data of the children's and their biology" in a calm collected manner
Ava listened, "Who could that female be?"
Maya answered, "It's Cassandra, one of the people Veronica used to admire back in the days"
"She fought many of my teammates sparing only me"
Ava asked, "But why"
Maya answered, "We don't know either but we have to research her, unfortunately we couldn't find any information regarding due to its inaccessibility"
Ava hears this, while trying to hide that she is her mother
Maya looked through the exfiltrated data, but there was no true unveiling of Cassandra's information
Ava can only assume one thing, "The info you have is filtered then"
Maya answered, "Correct, we only have information who is behind Project Cybergenesis"
Henry with his unserious eyes, and said, "We can also bust those kids out from the research facility and bring them back to their parents - if only the cybernetic project I am working on would - oh ahem I mean our company's secret project succeeded"
Ava straightened her eyes, "Secret project, cybernetic project? What do you mean"
"Vanity and enhancements", his smile became twisted while being surrounded by the two models in his coach
Ava begrudgingly accepted, she looked at Maya and said, "You can stop pointing the gun at me now. I accept I will work with you with this whole cybernetic project, and after that you free the kids"
Ava asks, "How long will this project take?
Maya answered, "About 2 years, but with you however it will only be 8 months"
Ava turned confused, "Why does it have to be this long? Aren't technology created within days or months, unless you are considering research"
Henry answered, "Correct, Ava I don't want engineers who just build cybernetics for others, I want someone who breathes the new world to do it for me as I have said"
The two ladies cozy up on Henry, glamorous beauties with their model like face, one of them who is a blondie went, "Ohhh that's interesting a secret project, oh Henry you are just as handsome and enigmatic as usual" Henry entertained the lady, "Ohhhh of course I am, I am as charming as you would think"
Both of them flirted, as the girls robotically compliments Henry, Ava sees them getting distracted she was eventually let go by the security guards
Ava looks at Henry, she bit her teeth and her eyes are straighten she went off the area where she approached the silver hair lady who was cozying with the man - she walked towards with bitterness before Maya said, "Ava, don't do something reckless - please control yourself"
Ava listened and backed off before recomposing herself. She walked towards the lady without anger but with curiosity.
Ava approached the lady touching her shoulder, "Hey, what is your name?"
The lady's beautiful face looked at her with disdain, "Huh who gives you the right to ask me that question"
Ava answered, "I do… You have any idea about the child give birth to"
The lady answered, "Get away from me, I don't want anything to do with you. Even if I have a child, I wouldn't want to talk about it"
The lady pulls out her hand as she waves it like an annoyed bimbo
Ava's head shaked, "This is about Thea, Brianna. I wanna know something about her"
The man who was enjoying himself with the lady got angered, he looked at Ava but stopped as he realised how mesmerizing Ava is
The man looked at her where he rejoiced with a muffled voice, "Uhuhuhuh, look who it is. What another delectable lady, right Brianna?!" his smile and eyes feeling all excited
The man touches Brianna very possessively to his side, while staring at Ava with vanity
However, Ava refused him, "Sorry sugar, but my business is with this lady alone. Unless you are willing to lend me some information"
The man got infuriated, he held Brianna and walked away with her
Brianna decided to do the same
Ava watched them where she returned to Maya and Henry vicinity
She felt disappointed that she would just ignore the glorious texture of the party in the penthouse of the largest tower
Ava asked, "Well… that was an unpleasant experience - I mean this whole party is unpleasant with their filthy relatives or parents"
Henry leans his torso forward with a sardonic tone, "Well, look who's talking one of the biggest complainer is also a part of them"
Ava got angered when she pointed at him, "Yeah, except I am one of the kids you snot!"
Henry bites his teeth for a bit, before having to calm down, "Hmmmm, but you are lucky one you get to enjoy the normalcy and flex your abilities, while your younger siblings are just there doing their roles as labrats"
Ava felt humiliated, "Yeah I am a lucky one, I get to experience normalcy with privileges other than my dear siblings who are suffering in the organization"
Ava cried, "I could have suffered with them… But instead I live a life of normalcy, please don't disseminate the leaked information Please! I want to save them"
Henry told her dismissively, "Stop crying we have a deal, you work with our cybernetics and I will do it"
Maya nodded, where Ava asked, "So what do we do then?"
Henry smiled, "Just enjoy the party, hang out with anyone you like here!"
Ava face turns to a contrived smiling where she walked away and starts hanging out with the relatives of the kids
She didn't like most of them since they are all womanizing or even slutty scumbags especially those who sold their children for gains
Ava did not like talking to them, their indifference was like 'rock' real
What did she learn? Nothing, but people like Beatrice are definitely people who are struggling - these people in fact are a select a few on the penthouse - she went near the pool and observed the ladies who are swimming there shamelessly, her hands were in her back
She asked herself the same question, "What did I learn"
Her mind looked at the question recursively, where it answered
"I learnt that these people who sold their children were also like Henry but more irresponsible, most of the females however also did so out of greed nothing here even says that they sold their children out of desperation or for a better life for their children. Of course I did ask them about it, but usually their response most of the time was dismissal of their existence"
"That was the simple notion that Ava reached to - she hates their guts"
"This penthouse atop of the highest tower in earth feels like a lie, the city of gomorrah was of course referenced to a canonical city in the bible"
"Of course not all of the parents who sold their children are like this" Ava clears her mind
"But it shows how complex morality is, in world of cybernetics"
Ava watched the people who were partying in the penthouse hosted by Henry, her dark off-shoulder velvet alongside her stylized wolf hair cut observes the irony of wealth and aristocracy, shameless dressing coinciding with well dressed men
Ava return back to Henry's proximity - of course she can watch the girls smooching off his suit, the models I wonder if they also have a connection to the kids
And so Ava asked one of them, "You, what is your name?" addressing the blondie next to him
The blondie, "Dana"
Ava nodded where she proceeded to ask a question, "Have you ever sold a child before?"
Dana responded shamelessly, "No… I don't have a history for that, I always use contraceptive I am not as dumb as these people"
She then looked at Henry as her finger touched Henry's side neck, "Right babe"
Henry smiled where he continued to caress the blondie
Ava then asked the black hair escort with grey eyes, "What about you?"
She responded with, "No! Why would I have anything to do with that? I got nothing on me girl!"
Henry looked at Ava with a teasing smile, "You are trying too hard, Ava… Just drop it"
Ava got angered, "What am I supposed to do in this party then?!! There is nothing but filthy people like you!"
Henry looks at Maya, "Maya… Is there a buffet here?"
Maya nodded, where she pointed her hand to the buffet
Maya listed a bunch of pasta and sweets included in the buffet, even crabs whose shell have been removed, with butter sauce and then some pizza, even pasta also some ice cream and drinks
Ava rushed to it, where she got a plate and started eating - she started picking food from the buffet and started eating them, Henry head rotated as he chillax with two ladies satisfied he managed to dispel trouble for a while
Henry looked at Maya, "So we finally got Ava on our side now? Fully, not as a trophy but as a worthy ally. What do we do about these people?" Henry glanced at the people partying in the penthouse
Maya answered, "Hmm, let's see we brought them here to gain an insight regarding them - Ava spoke to them but they don't like her probing despite her beauty"
Maya looked at Henry with a disgruntled face, Henry raises his hands up, "Hey it's not my fault that I got someone who is a both smart and a nerd with a little tinge of carnality"
Henry continues to enjoy himself with the ladies, while Ava continues eating food in the buffet, a small one but it's flavours are high quality
Eventually Henry decided to stand up from the coach where he walked to Brianna. Henry approached Brianna where the two ladies tried to follow him but Maya held them off with her hand and authority.
Henry approached the lady, Brianna appears to be friendly with Henry even finding him attractive while incurring the jealousy of the old man beside the lady
Henry, "Excuse, is your name Brianna - could I trouble you for a bit?" with a calculated smile with his other hand on his back, while Maya blocks the two girls from following him with a stern attitude on her face
Brianna giggled as she stared at Henry's prominent features, examples given, her eyes look at the prominent prominent cheekbones, next one was his somewhat sharp jawline, then looked at his brown eyes and it appeared hunter like with a little bit of almond as Brianna went macroscopic she looked at his frame, that stood about 6 foot taller with a fair skin, even a sleek hair
If there is anything about Henry, it is that he also has genes for looks but in regards to intelligence that has yet to be discovered.
Or maybe because Henry is just rich, and the party's leader.
Henry pulls out his charming smile and a hand, emphasizing his softness, "Now, now don't be shy - do you want to hang out with me for a while! don't worry I can trade my ladies with you"
Henry makes a soft declaration, "Maya, dear could you bring the two ladies here"
Maya who was blocking the two ladies, orders them to come through
The two ladies, one a tall girl with black hair alongside a grey iris, the other one was a blondie with a rounder face shape, both had modelesque bodies.
The man looked at the two girls, completely distracted for a second where the two ladies escorted the man away leaving only both Henry and Brianna alone
Henry walked with Brianna around the penthouse with Brianna being somewhat enjoyed by his presence, as they both socialize.
Henry asks a question, "If someone were to accidentally have a child with you, especially if that man is rich, what would you do?"
Brianna breathed as she pondered, "if I were to have a child with someone… and that person is rich, I don't know I don't fit the requirements to be a proper parent - I had one child but I gave her up for the money, but during that time I was pregnant"
Brianna asked, "Why do you ask?"
Henry asks, "I am a guy who wears contraceptives of course… I have to be prepared for any contingencies in case I get loose with you" Henry flirted with Brianna to her ears as he holds Brianna torso with his hands
Brianna giggled, they both spoke to each other with carnal intimacy.
Leaving only Ava with her eating habits, as she eats the glucose carried to her body converts to energy, the more she eats the more she realizes what she is missing on.
Ava became curious, she stopped eating for a second - she thinks about what's on stakes, she thinks about Genesis Innovation Inc, the search for truth, and for meaning
"Henry, Maya and the other high levels of the corporation already knew the truth of my existence and this extends to many of my kin in Genesis Innovation, if I really did assist Henry with his cybernetic project I would be able to save them - but how do I know that Henry would keep his promise, maybe Maya should be the one I should be discussing with
There are too many priorities, one is my training in Genesis Innovation and then me assisting the corporation research in frontier cybernetics, come on! they rebuilt Maya, why do they need me for help?"
Ava became unsure of herself, she looked at herself and said, "Ahh screw it - I will think about it later it will sort out eventually for now I use many sugar or sweets to think about cybernetics research"
As Ava eats, the more she thought about electronics, signal processing, neuroscience, or ways to integrate nanotechnology with a human mind through a compatible electric field resonance, or even Nano-sensors and computer brain interfaces, also fail-safes
And when Ava thinks vanity, what does it mean? Does he want to be a superman or something, or be praised as superman? Does he want to dominate the world? No, too cavalier for that kind of stuff, Ava is aware of how megalomaniac and calculating Henry is
So it's best to consult Maya, something about Maya though she pulled out a gun on me instead of trying to eschew it - does this cybernetic project they are working on have an uber importance?
Ava continues eating, she also thinks about the people in this party - apparently these people were orchestrated to be here by Henry for what? To spite her, to make her react, or just to be an arsehat, what do they plan to do with them - it's not like they will do anything anyway, some of them are relatives, wealthy friends of those who give birth to children of Genesis Innovation Inc
Maybe just for a bigger picture I am not seeing. Are they fully aware of one another's problems? No, they are all shallow - they had no idea
I mean what do they think about abortion?
Nothing, nothing at all - dumb normal people
And so Ava returned to her house after hours of spending time in the party, where she head to her bed with a rain outside with her normal clothes
Her eyes were open as she stared at the ceiling, pondering the nature of her existential crisis while feeling poor for the lab rats in Genesis Innovation Inc
She is powerless, all she can do is now shut her eyes as she try to dispel drops from her eyes
