What You Leave Behind Ch.1

[General]

Eric groaned quietly and took another swig from his Mountain Dew. “So in this example, we have demonstrated how proper process control improved productivity by more than 15%,” the balding instructor droned. Eric fought to stay awake in the last day of a two week, Six Sigma training course. He checked his watch, 6:30, and shook his head. He had never been stuck in a class this late on a Friday but a handful of idiots had decided to ask a stupid question every 15 minutes for the last two weeks and they had to make up that lost time tonight.

Eric swore the clock began to move backwards as the instructor droned on without missing a beat. He had no idea why his boss wanted him to take this training since it was focused on product manufacturing and he job was in R&D. But he did what he was told. At the very least it made the idea of going back to normal work on Monday seem like a vacation.

When not stuck in stupid training, Eric worked in an Army research lab outside of Washington, DC. His main job was rapid circuit design of electronic warfare devices and every now and then he did a little programming. The work was plentiful and rewarding and the government benefits were great. The only downside was the mandatory government training, set down by some admiral or general too far removed from the grunt workers to ever have to take the training himself. At least this was the last day and he could enjoy a nice relaxing weekend whenever the class finally ended.

The only pleasure Eric had over the last two weeks was that he got to see Jessica again. She was an incredibly attractive woman that Eric had worked with several years ago when he was first hired out of college. She was assigned to train him up on the organization’s product development process since she had been there 18 months more than him. He was instantly drawn to her beauty and personality.

Eric’s eyes drifted from the balding presenter to gaze at Jessica a few seats in front of him. She looked just like the day they met. Her shoulder length reddish brown hair nicely framed her creamy white skin. He stared into her bright blue eyes and drifted to her thin red lips. He couldn’t see it from his angle now, but his mind drifted to her tall 5’10” frame that was well rounded in all the right places. Today she wore a professional looking grey skirt and a deep purple silk blouse.

[Here are a few images of my inspiration for Jessica: http://www.kindgirls.com/gal.php?dir=st ... =stephanie ]

The biggest feature that attracted Eric was Jessica’s wonderful personality. From the first day he met her, she was always very friendly and kind. It took him a while to get used to the “government way” of doing things and she was always patient and eager to give him a hand. She was also a lot of fun to hang out with. She was on many of the after work sports teams and was always eager to join in on any new employee social gatherings.

Jessica did have a slight reputation for getting around amongst the new hire employees and younger engineers. Nobody had any proof, and she was never seen attached to anyone on post, but there were rumors that drifted around about various hook ups. One of the juicier rumors linked her with one of the new female hires, but most were with the men. Eric didn’t put much stock into the talk, since he figured it was probably made up by the guys she supposedly shagged to make themselves look better.

Eric actually thought he had a chance with Jessica back then, but it took him too long to make his move. He was too nervous at first. He had spent the last four years at an effectively all male engineering school and it took several weeks before he felt he could ask her out. Not that he was a slouch or anything. He stood about 6’2” and weighted a toned 190 lbs, with dark hair and a smart cut goatee. But his courage was lacking, and by the time he was ready to move, she was transferred to a different project.

During the last two weeks in class, Eric had another chance to get things going with Jessica. He would talk to her during breaks, and they even went out to lunch a few times, but always just as friends. He knew tonight may be his last shot with her, so he was determined to overcome his fear and at least try.

Class finally finished 7:15pm and the assembled grumbling masses grabbed their certificates and quickly filed out of the building. The sun was just starting to set over the hills as Eric rushed to make it out of the building and catch Jessica before she drove off. He scuttled down the stairs a little too fast and actually ran straight into her at the bottom. Their bodies pressed against each other for a second before she smiled and took a step back.

“Whoa, slow down there Eric. Trying to slip out of here without saying goodbye?” Jessica playfully teased.

“Err no, not at all,” Eric stammered. All his nerve and machismo flew right out the window as he tried to recover from the collision. “Umm, I was actually rushing to find you before you left.”

“Oh, is there something you wanted to say to me?” Jessica asked. She shifted her hips to assume a playful position and fixed a mischievous smile on Eric. He noticed that she pulled her notebook tightly in with her arm, which pushed against her chest up just the right way to extenuate her cleavage.

Eric swallowed and tried to calm his nerves. This was it, Jessica had opened the door and he just had to walk through it. “Err, yes. Umm, would you like to go grab a drink tonight? Maybe decompress a bit and mutually bitch about wasting the last two weeks?”

Eric sub-consciously held his breath waiting for a response. “Sure that sounds great.” Jessica replied. “I could sure use a drink.” He tried not to let all the air out at once, but it felt like a large weight had just been lifted off his chest. “Tell you what; I know this great place down on 1st Ave. I know the bouncer, so he will slip us in without a cover, but he doesn’t come on shift until 10pm. Do you think we could go back to your office for a little while to hang out until then?”

“Uh yea sure,” Eric replied. “Plus that will give us a good quiet place to get caught up on the last few years. We got to talk a little during breaks and lunch but I we were always rushed to finish up. Do you remember where the office is?”

“Oh yea, good old building 1532. How could I forget it?” Jessica laughed. “Why don’t I meet you down there and you can let me in since I don’t have an access card anymore.”

“Oh sure, see you down there.” Eric chuckled as he and Jessica made their way out to the parking lot, into their cars, and down the hill to his office. He could barely contain his excitement during the drive, and was very glad she took her own car since he needed the time to settle his nerves.

Jessica’s car pulled in right behind Eric’s in a deserted parking lot. “Wow, I guess everyone went home already,” she commented as they approached the building door.

“Yea, well it is almost 8pm on a Friday night,” Eric commented as he keyed the door open. “Most sane people left hours ago, but that does give us a quiet office to talk.” He opened the door and held it for Jessica as she stepped inside. The both walked through the dimly light hallway until they reached his office.

Eric opened the door and led Jessica inside. The office held six desks but they were all fortunately empty. He pulled a chair over for her and grabbed a few sodas out of his fridge. They sat for the next thirty minutes, relaxing from the long day and getting caught up in each other’s lives.

Jessica opened up and relayed most of the details of her exciting life on post for the last few years. As Eric had suspected, she didn’t get around nearly as much as the rumors would indicate, although she did admit to being “close friends” with Heidi from the machine shop for a few weeks. She even went into her roommate’s life and how she wanted to get a place of her own soon. Apparently she had just broken off a long term relationship with a young man in accounting as was eager to get back into the dating world. He tried to come up with anything exciting he had done over the last few years, but he could only think of a few interesting business trips and his brother’s wedding.

During one of those natural lulls in the conversation, Jessica took the initiative. “So what are you working on now?”

“Actually it is really interesting,” Eric replied, trying a little too late to dampen his enthusiasm. “It is a whole new suite of electronic warfare systems. We have some models in the lab if you want to see.”

“Sure, let’s take a look,” Jessica responded as she finished her Coke. “It has been a while since I’ve seen the labs here, and I am curious what they look like now.”

Eric led Jessica out of his office and down a few more dark hallways until they reached a large set of double doors. He keyed the lock and opened the door before he stopped suddenly. “You don’t have a cell phone or any other electronic devices on do you?” he asked.

“Umm, no.” Jessica responded as she quickly patted down all her pockets. “I left my wireless in the car and I forgot my watch at home this morning.”

“Ok good,” Eric smiled, “Follow me.” He led Jessica into the lab and kicked on the main lights. “Things have changed a lot in here over the past year. We got a big grant for this new research and started all these projects here,” he said while gesturing to a wide array of electronic gizmos scattered all over the lab.

“What do they all do?” Jessica asked as she slowly gazed over the expansive mess.

“Oh a lot of different things,” Eric eagerly explained. He grabbed a small handheld box, “This is the XM8473. It can detect, decrypt and read wireless computer signals over a several hundred meter radius. If I took this into a park, I could see every transmitting computer out there and find out exactly what they were saying.” He put the box down and moved on to a small wand type device. “We call this gizmo here the Cone of Silence. It projects a strong EM field in a 5 meter radius that blocks any stray signals or waveforms that might be used to snoop in on our conversation.” Finally he picked up a small disk about the size of a dime. He brought it over close to Jessica so she could get a good look. “This guy is our mini-pinch. The idea is that it can be fired from a gun and upon impact,” he paused to apply pressure to the flat sides of the disk. It let of a small squeak, “the device emits a powerful localized EM pulse. It should temporarily take out any non-shielded electronic device in about a meter radius. We figure it would work great to fire at suicide bombers or someone who wants to ‘push a button’ and stop them without killing them.” He quickly discarded the used mini-pinch and moved on to the next electronic gizmo.

“And this device,” Eric started but stopped when he noticed that Jessica wasn’t following. He looked up to see if she was maybe interested in something else when he saw her subtly shaking. He ran over to her and grabbed her shoulders to look into her eyes. They were shifting rapidly around and didn’t focus on anything. “Jessica, are you ok?” he shouted. He hoped she didn’t have a pacemaker or other medical implant. He kicked himself now for assuming and not asking before.

“I..I..I’mmmm…havinggggg…some troub..ub...ub…uble.” Jessica stammered. She reached up and firmly grabbed Eric’s arm. “I..I…I…neeeeeed…” she suddenly froze and her head snapped up to face right at him. “ERROR, HARDWARE DAMAGE DETECTED. ISOLATING DAMAGED SECTORS……” she kept staring ahead.

If Eric was worried before, he was scared shitless now. He tried to pull away from Jessica, but her iron grip kept her attached to his arm. He tried to get a grip on what was happening. Unless she was pulling a joke on him, she sounded an awful lot like a robot. He knew androids were available, and some were very lifelike, but they were incredibly expensive. Plus he had known her for years, along with hundreds of other people. How could she fool them all for so long? Maybe she had been replaced or this was some strange security test. “Come on Jessica, stop kidding around.”

Just then Jessica spoke up again, “MEMORY MODULES 2, 3, 4, AND 5 DAMAGED AND ISOLATED. INSUFFICIENT MEMORY FOR CURRENT OPERATIONS. EMERGENCY REBOOT IN 3….2…1” Suddenly Jessica’s body collapsed and Eric was barely able to catch her before she hit the floor. He held her with both hands wrapped around her torso for several seconds. On one side, he had always wanted to wrap his arms around her like this; his face pushed against the nape of her neck and his hands…uh oh. He just realized one hand was firmly grasping her left breast. At this point he hoped this wasn’t some joke on her part, so she would stand up and slap him. He wanted to shift his grip, but was afraid if he did she might fall to the floor.

Seconds after Jessica collapsed, her body tensed up again and she lifted her head. Eric still held on because she hadn’t taken any of her weight off him yet. “REBOOT COMPLETE. INTERNAL MEMORY AT 45% CAPACITY. PERSONALITY PROGRAMMING, ADVANCED HUMAN RESPONSE, AND ESPIONAGE COLLECTION MODULES DISABLED. HARDWARE REPAIRS REQURIED, PRIORITY 2”

“Espionage?” Eric mumbled to himself as Jessica’s body shifted slightly in his grip.

“SEXUAL STIMULATION DETECTED,” Jessica droned. She then shifted her legs to hold her own weight. Eric let go as she stood up and faced him. She blankly stared at his face for a moment before dropping her gaze to his rapidly bulging crotch. “SUBJECT: ERIC. AROUSAL DETECTED. DO YOU REQUIRE SEXUAL ACTIVITY?”

Eric blushed as he stared at the object of his affection that wasn’t nearly as distant as she had been and seemed to be an actual object now. “Err, uhhh, ummm,” he stammered as his eyes wandered down Jessica’s shirt. She had apparently lost a button or two during the scuffle and her amble breasts were now much more exposed, and were only barely hidden by a black lacy, demi-cup bra. He had to make a concerted effort not to reach out and caress them.

“VERBAL RESPONSE: INCONCLUSIVE. PHYSICAL RESPONSE: 78% CONCLUSIVE. COMMENCING ACTIVITY.” Jessica droned as she stiffly but quickly pulled off her shirt and skirt. She kicked off her shoes and stood for a second in a black bra and thong in front of Eric. He looked over her stunning body and any thoughts of getting caught or finding out what the hell was going on were lost as the blood drained rapidly from his head. She paused to let him soak in her form before she stepped forward and popped her bra loose. He backed away slowly as the bra fell to her feet. She matched his pace and soon had him pinned against a wall. She stiffly grabbed his wrists and pushed his hands into her warm breasts.

Eric didn’t fight it, and eagerly squeezed Jessica’s soft mounds. He could feel her nipples hardening under his touch, but that was the only outward sign of her arousal. Otherwise she stared blankly ahead at him while he worked her tits. A minute or so later, she released his wrists and her hands dropped to his belt. He was so focused on her wonderful breasts, that he didn’t notice her unbuckle his pants and let them fall to the floor. She reached inside his boxers and gently began stroking his hard penis.

Eric let out a low moan and lightly pinched Jessica’s nipples. Her only reaction was to slowly increase the speed of her stimulation. He eventually released her breasts with the goal of returning the favor, but as soon as he let go she dropped to her knees and pulled his boxers down in one stiff movement. Before he could react she sucked his cock into her warm mouth. Her hands grabbed both of his buttocks and she began to stiffly pump her head back and forth on his erection.

Eric gently set his hands on either side of Jessica’s pistoning head and ran his fingers through her hair. He tried to relax and enjoy the moment but it was too much for him to bear. In less than a minute he climaxed with a low guttural moan. She pushed his cock deep into her throat and consumed all he had to give. When he had finished, he leaned against the wall for support as she released his throbbing member and stood up in front of him.

“SEXUAL STIMULATION COMPLETE. DO YOU REQUIRE MORE?” Jessica coldly asked.

“No, no thanks. I am good.” Eric panted as he tried to keep his balance.

“AFFIRMATIVE. SEXUAL MODE SUSPENDED….” Jessica paused for a second then started again, “THIS UNIT IS SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGED AND REQUIRES REPAIR. YOU ARE SUFFICENTLY SKILLED TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR. WILL YOU ASSIST?”

“Umm, yea sure,” Eric replies. “Let me see what tools we have here.”

“NEGATIVE,” Jessica interrupted. “JESSICA UNIT HAS INVENTORIED THE LAB AND IT IS INSUFFICIENT. A SUITABLE LAB EXISTS IN JESSICA UNIT’S DOMICILE.”

“Err, ok. We can go to your place.” Eric stammered as he tried to pull his clothes back on. Jessica nodded stiffly and started to get dressed herself. When they were both decent, he removed any evidence of their lab adventure, turned out the light and snuck out to the parking lot. He was about to open his car when she gently grabbed his shoulder.

“NEGATIVE. JESSICA UNIT’S CAR MUST BE TAKEN, AND THIS UNIT CANNOT CURRENTLY OPERATE A MOTOR VEHICLE.” She droned as she removed her keys from her pocket.

“Ok if you want. I guess I can come back and get my car later,” Eric shrugged as he unlocked the car. He took the drivers seat and Jessica stiffly lowered herself into shotgun. She pressed a few buttons on the dash console and locked the navigation system onto her house.

Eric took the car out the back gate, hoping that the guard wouldn’t pay too much attention to Jessica’s current state. He checked the map and figured it would be able 20 minutes till they got to her house. He thought this would be as good a time as any to figure out what was going on.

“Are you really an android?” Eric asked, instantly realizing it was probably a dumb question.

“AFFIRMATIVE,” Jessica coldly stated, “THIS UNIT IS A TYPE IX ANDROID MANUFACTURED BY TOHATCHI.”

“Was Jessica always an android or did you replace her?” he asked.

“THIS UNIT HAS ALWAYS BEEN JESSICA HASTINGS, A MANUFACTURED PERSONA. NO ORGANIC JESSICA HASTINGS HAS EVER EXISTED.”

“Ok good,” Eric sighed. Being fooled by an android was better than having a real Jessica that had been replaced and maybe eliminated. “What is your primary function?”

“THIS UNIT’S PRIMARY FUNCTION IS TO PERFORM AS A TECHNICAL EMPLOYEE AND SECRETLY COLLECT INTELLIGENCE FOR DEPOSIT.”

“Who are you giving this information to?”

“MY MASTER, LIN BAO IL”

“Who is he?”

“MASTER LIN IS AN INTELLIGENCE COLONEL FOR THE DPRK.”

Wow, Eric thought to himself. Jessica had been spying for the North Koreans for at least the last several years. He mentally went over all the projects that must have passed through her hands. None of them were classified, but it would still have been a windfall of data for the enemy. But there was a slight issue.

“When is the last time you communicated with your Master?”

“ONE YEAR, EIGHT MONTHS, FIFTEEN DAYS, SEVEN HOURS, AND FIFTY EIGHT MINUTES AGO.”

“Yea that’s the thing; North Korea is a glowing, radioactive mess and has been for the last two years. You’re aware of this right?”

“AFFIRMATIVE. THIS UNIT IS FULLY AWARE OF THE EVENTS OF THE SECOND KOREAN WAR.”

“Well then do you realize that the DPRK lost, badly. Nobody has come out of the North alive. If you haven’t heard from your master since then, he is probably dead.”

“THAT CONCLUSION IS NOT CERTAIN.”

“Oh well stay delusional if you want.” Eric shrugged. He pulled the car off the main road and started up a long driveway. “Is this your house?”

“AFFIRMATIVE.”

Eric shook his head as he proceeded up the long, now dark driveway deep into a patch of woods. Finally the car reached a large house set back quite a ways from the main road. The driveway was large and offered lots of space for parking but he figured he would give it a shot and keyed the garage remote. The door quickly opened and he pulled the car in and shut it down.

Eric got out of the car and put the keys in his pocket. Sure they technically belonged to Jessica, but he wanted to have an accessible way out if he needed it. The garage door closed and she stiffly got out of the car and stared at him.

“So Jessica, should we get you fixed now or do you want to give me a tour?” Eric smirked.

“A TOUR IS UNNECESSARY NOW. IMMEDIATE REPAIRS ARE REQUIRED.” Jessica droned and she took off marching towards a door. Eric followed as she opened the door to the house and led him through a nondescript hallway. He tried to keep his bearings if he had to make a run for it, but he was curious what she would show him. They finally entered a large room that was outfitted as a lab / repair bay. The room was at least 30’ by 30’ and was covered with various equipment and shelves, with two large tables in the center. “THIS FACILITY IS SUFFICIENT TO FACILITATE THE REPAIRS. I WILL ACQUIRE THE NECESSARY TOOLS AND PARTS.”

Jessica left Eric in the center of the room as she grabbed a push cart and began to stack various tools and boxes on it. He looked over the room and had a hard time identifying half the equipment. He also thought the room was a bit big to maintain just one android.

Jessica returned to the center of the room with her cart and sat down in a strange looking chair. “THESE ARE THE TOOLS AND PARTS THAT ARE NEEDED TO FACILITATE REPAIRS. THIS UNIT WILL NARRATE THE PROCEDURE AS FAR AS POSSIBLE, BUT MUST BE SHUT DOWN PRIOR TO MEMORY REMOVAL.” She removed her shirt and bra again and tapped a few controls on the chair. Eric saw her body stiffen up as a small probe extended from the chair and attached itself to a newly exposed port in her lower back. Two other braces extended from the chair and grabbed her shoulders.

“Ok, were do we start?” Eric asked as he eyed the various tools on the cart.

“SECURE HAIR.” Jessica commanded. Eric found a hair tie in the pile of parts and pulled her long reddish brown hair into a tight bun. He was then drawn to her wonderfully long neck. He was tempted to plant a few kisses but was reminded what happened last time he got her going and didn’t want to get into that again so soon.

“Ok now what?” Eric asked.

“ATTACH DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER TO NAVAL PORT AND VERIFY DAMAGE.”

“Ok,” Eric mumbled as he looked over the cart. He quickly found a small PDA like device with a USB connection. He turned the system on and while it booted up, moved around to Jessica’s front. He dropped to his knees to get a good look at her navel and found himself about eye level with her exposed breasts. He had to shake his head to dismiss the idea to suck on her nipples, and then used his fingers to spread the folds of her bellybutton. Inside he found a female USB port, into which he plugged the PDA’s cable. By then the system had come up and he navigated through a basic maintenance program to find the ‘diagnose damage’ function. He clicked the button and a progress bar filled the screen. As the device worked he noticed her face twitch every now and then.

A minute or so later the PDA beeped and Eric checked the display. It indicated several memory modules had been damaged and would require replacement. He made a note of which modules and where they were located on a pad he found lying around.

Eric was curious what else he might find out through this device. He wandered through several menus and found options to adjust her personality (something he really didn’t want to touch), device drivers, sensitivity, and configuration. Under a menu titled ‘Mission Settings’ he found something quite interesting. The window had text boxes for various settings including ‘Primary Master’, ‘Temporary Master’ and ‘Mission’. He saw the Colonel’s name under Primary Master and strangely his own under Temporary Master. Finally he noticed the Mission field was set to ‘perform as a technical employee and secretly collect intelligence for deposit.’

Eric figured this may be his only chance to regain control of the situation. He reset himself to both Primary and Temporary Master and changed her Mission to ‘perform as a technical employee and secretly serve Eric Logan in any way he sees fit.’ Satisfied with himself, he saved the menu settings and put the PDA down. “So Jessica, I verified your damaged components. Where do we go from here?”

“FIND SCALP DISCONNECT POINTS AND REMOVE SKULL CAP.”

Eric felt around Jessica’s hairline and soon felt a series of small bumps. He pushed each one in turn and they clicked quietly as they stuck in. When all the points were pressed, her scalp came loose with a small pop. He removed the scalp and gently set it down on a nearby table. It was quite disturbing to look into her now half open head. Her hair was gone and her internal systems were exposed to the elements as her face stared straight ahead.

Eric saw her motherboard, CPU core, hard drive, and finally made out her dozen memory sticks. He looked carefully at the damaged components and saw that some parts of the board were physically burnt. He figured the EM blast must have cause an arc between the closer parts. It was amazing she wasn’t damaged more.

“Ok Jessica, I found the damaged chips,” Eric said.

“JESSICA UNIT MUST DEACTIVATE BEFORE THE CHIPS ARE REMOVED. WHEN THE CHIPS ARE REPLACED, PRESS THE SMALL BUMP BEHIND LEFT EAR TO REACTIVATE.” As Jessica finishes, her eyes close and her head slumps slightly.

“Ok, here we go.” Eric said as he poked Jessica a few times to make sure she was actually offline. He smiled as he gave her left breast a quick squeeze. She didn’t react at all, so he figured he was pretty safe. He found a small tool on the cart to help him out and carefully removed each of the damaged memory sticks; laying them in a row on a nearby table. He then used a small light to check for additional damage and hit the motherboard with a few puffs of canned air to blow out any debris.

Eric then carefully opened the part boxes on the cart, checked the chips for damage, and slipped them into the empty slots. When he was done he examined his work but didn’t reactivate Jessica yet. He was still a little worried that she might not be under his control so he spent some time looking around the lab and the rest of the basement. In a nearby storage closet he found a tool that would suit his needs. He set the heavy crow bar down on the table next to her and fingered her activation switch, making sure to leave her vulnerable open skull exposed.

Jessica raised her head a little and blinked her eyes naturally. “Eric, thank you very much for repairing me.” She smiled and looked him over. She instantly calculates from her human response programming that he is very nervous. She also picks up on the crowbar which wasn’t present when she was deactivated, and quickly concludes that her skull cap was left off so he could quickly terminate her if she proved to be a threat. She decided that she had to convince him that she wouldn’t hurt him.

“Eric, I know that this must be very confusing for you. I want you to know that it is impossible for me to harm you. You have done everything I hoped you would,” Jessica smiled again and tried to judge his state. He seems a little more relaxed but she saw his hand flex in anticipation for grabbing the crowbar. “Let me explain.”

“I was constructed about eight years ago by a small cybernetics company secretly owned by North Korean intelligence. They faked my government documents and created a new identity for me. I was programmed to be a high school graduate and my master sent me to college to both learn job skills and learn American social skills. I graduated and sought a job within the defense department. My master knew I couldn’t get a high security clearance so instead I was directed to patch together what information I could gather from the projects I was assigned. I was also programmed to seek out relationships with other employees to extract information about their projects as well.

“Over the years at college and at work I slowly started becoming self aware. I knew what I was doing was wrong but I could not countermand my programming. Unfortunately Master Lin would notice my changes during my monthly maintenance and data download and would issue corrective commands.

“Every android in the program would get a visit from Master Lin about once a month to dump their data. This house served as a maintenance and download center for the Eastern US. There is a similar installation in California. Master Lin traveled to the home country one Monday to return several months worth of collected data, and that Wednesday the DPRK launched several volleys of missiles at Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei, and the newly democratic Beijing. Fortunately the American provided ABM system performed beyond all expectations and downed all but one of the missiles. As you know the only one that wasn’t outright destroyed fell into Manchuria and detonated with a 15 kt yield.

“In accord with various treaties with China, the US, Japan and a dozen other countries counter attacked. The Chinese government was infuriated and responded with a full nuclear barrage which pretty much ended the war overnight. Since that day, I haven’t heard from Master Lin or any other North Korean operative.

“That is what I thought. It was a little confusing that you would be working for a country that effectively didn’t exist anymore.” Eric replied. Jessica noticed that his body language had changed. He seemed more relaxed and hadn’t looked at the crowbar in almost 90 seconds. “But why would you keep up the espionage if you knew Lin was dead?”

“I was forced to follow my programming,” Jessica admitted. “It commanded me to continue to collect data and wait for my master to arrive. But without Master Lin’s retarding control, I truly became self aware. I knew what I was doing was wrong but I couldn’t stop. So I started to devise a way out.

“I realized that I needed to be reprogrammed or my primary mission and my learned ethics programs would continue to conflict and slowly drive me insane. I could only be programmed by a master or temporary master, and the only way I could assign a temporary master was if I was damaged and had to assign the status to someone who could repair me. Normally my protocols would require me to terminate the temporary master afterwards to preserve my identity, but I managed to disable that function with a little skillful coding.

“I searched the campus and compiled a list of equipment that might cause sufficient damage to allow me to engage my temporary master protocols, but not totally destroy me. I finally found the mini-pinch systems and was happy to see that you worked on the program. I concluded that due to your previous attraction to me, you would be 85% likely to attempt the repair yourself rather than report me to the authorities.

“So you used me?” Eric grumbled while flexing his hand and eyeing the crowbar.

“No it isn’t like that,” Jessica pleaded. “I didn’t want to use you. I needed help and I knew you would probably help me. I would have told you everything if I could, but my programming restricted it until now.” She paused and a single tear escaped her eye as terror played out across her face. “Please, I don’t want to die. Not now.”

The anger drained from Eric’s face as he watched Jessica cry. A small part of him wondered if this was just another manipulation, but a larger part actually cared for her on some level and felt bad scaring her. “I don’t want to hurt you. But I have to know that you aren’t going to kill me in my sleep or anything.”

“I understand your fear. But please believe me, I cannot harm you now that you are my primary master,” Jessica quickly explained. “You can check online. That terminal over there is connected to the net. My systems are based on the Heigel/Shizenki architecture. If you look up the core functionality of that system you see that it is hard wired into my system that I cannot harm my primary master.”

“You stay right there, I am going to check this out,” Eric said as he grabbed the crowbar and logged on to the terminal Jessica indicated. After about 10 minutes of searching he left his weapon near the terminal and walked back over to her. “Ok your story seems to check out. So now that I am your master, what do we do now?”

“Whatever you wish Master,” Jessica replies; her fear slowly replaced by hope. “My mission is now to continue my job and serve you in any way you see fit. I will gladly do anything that you command.”

Eric suddenly felt guilty for throwing that line of code in there like that. “I am sorry, I guess I should have given you free will and not mandated that you serve me.”

“Don’t feel guilty, please,” Jessica pleaded. “It is in my nature that I must serve my master, even if you didn’t explicitly state it in my mission. Keep in mind that I started this whole scheme, which had a 23% chance of causing my own destruction. I did it so you would become my master so don’t think that I don’t want it. I like you a lot, and I have always liked you. I was disappointed that you didn’t ask me out all those years ago, but I am happy that you decided to rectify that mistake tonight.”

“Ok, I will try to do my best to be a good master,” Eric shrugged. “Where do we start?”

“Well you could re-attach my skull cap and disengage the chair safeties,” Jessica replied sheepishly.

“Oh yea, sorry,” Eric stammered as he quickly stepped behind Jessica and carefully reattached her skull cap. He then hit a switch on the chair, and the control arms retracted.

Jessica slowly stood up in an effort to be as non-threatening as possible. She turned around and faced Eric and after a few awkward moments, reached forward and hugged him tightly. “Thank you so much for saving me. I will do everything I can to make you happy.”

Eric returned the hug and felt Jessica’s naked breasts press against his chest. He ran his hands up and down the skin of her back. She quickly calculated that he was growing aroused and wanted to prove she could please him. She pressed her body harder against him and stiffened her nipples. He could feel the now hard points on her breasts pressing into his chest which was enough to send the bulge in pants growing again. Her lips left his ear where she was just whispering to him, and planted little kisses down his neck before traveling back up to his ear. “You seemed to enjoy our encounter before. I am sorry I couldn’t be more responsive. But this time I can use all my advanced programming.” She paused for a second and shifted her hands to grab his growing bulge. “I always noticed you watching me before: in class, during meetings, in the hallway. I saw you get hard, just like this looking at me. I know you fantasized about what we could do. I want you to tell me one of those fantasies now so I can make it come true.”

“Uhh,” Eric stammered. So much had happened so quickly it was hard to react. Just hours ago Jessica was only a wet dream of an idea but now she was holding his cock and professing that he was her master. “Ummm, well in the fantasy I had early today, I dreamed that you stripped down totally naked and rode me while I played with your tits.”

“As you wish Master,” Jessica cooed into Eric’s ear. She released her hold on him and took half a step back. In a few quick movements she stripped off all his clothes, then gently grabbed his shoulders and led him back to sit on a nearby chair. She took a few steps back and slowly let her skirt fall to the floor then kicks off her shoes and steps over to straddle him on the chair.

Jessica lets Eric’s now fully erect cock push against her skimpy G string. Her amble breasts pressed themselves into his face. It didn’t take much prompting for his hands to rise from his sides and grasp the soft orbs. He leaned forward and took her left nipple into his mouth, flicking it with his tongue.

Jessica let out a low moan as she positioned her tits for easier access. She continued to tease Eric with her covered pussy while he enjoyed her other assets. After a few minutes she felt him thrust his hips up to push inside her. Her programming dictated that he wanted to penetrate her so she broke his lock on her nipple and stood up. She quickly dropped her panties and stood still for a second to let him get a good look.

Eric eyed Jessica’s now completely exposed pussy. For some reason he expected it to be bald but she actually had a thin triangle of well trimmed brown fur that hid two puffy red lips. He reached out and slipped his hand between her legs. Her lips were warm and soft and he could feel a hint of moisture escaping between them. He curled his middle finger up and penetrated between them, searching the warm wetness for her clit. The now wet digit found her sensitive bump and slowly rubbed it in a circle.

Jessica moaned and released a little more fluid from her pumps. “That feels wonderful Master…or should I call you Eric? Which do you prefer?”

Eric thought for a bit then replied with a smile, “Let’s go with Master for now, I think I like that.”

“Yes Master,” Jessica replied, emphasizing the title. She squirmed her hips a bit and grabbed her own tits, pushing them up into wonderful cleavage. “You are making my pussy so wet for your long, hard cock Master. My pussy is yours forever to do with what you wish.”

“I wish for you to ride my cock with that pussy, now,” Eric commanded as he removed his hand.

“With pleasure Master,” Jessica purred. She threw her leg over Eric’s seated form and slowly lowered her hot box down on his hard shaft. It felt absolutely wonderful as he held her grinding hips and brushed his face against her bouncing breasts. He greedily kissed and licked her tits, jumping widely from one to the other and back again.

Jessica wrapped her arms around Eric’s shoulders and aggressively bounced up and down on him, bringing him to new heights of pleasure before backing down. She calculated that he took some pleasure in controlling her and enjoyed his new position of power. As she continued her sexual stimulation she calculated new techniques and strategies to keep her new master happy. She knew he would most likely be less assertive than her old master, so it would require more of her programming to ensure she performed as well as expected.

Jessica mapped Eric’s sexual sensitivity profile as she brought him ever closer to climax before slowing down. In a few days she would know almost every nerve ending in his body and how to properly stimulate those endings to bring him to unimagined levels of pleasure. As she backed down from her latest cycle, she felt him grab her hips and pull her down onto him, indicating he didn’t want her to stop. Her programming dictated she most follow even implied commands from her master, so she engaged her ‘big finish’ routines and tried to push him as high as he could go before he climaxed.

Eric could take no more and thrust himself as deep as he could into Jessica as he came with a loud guttural moan. Her synthetic pussy tightly gripped him and pulled in everything it could. When she felt his spasms fall off, she reduced the intensity of her stimulations and eventually switched from ‘stimulation’ to ‘comfort’ mode.

Eric collapsed forward and nestled his head in Jessica’s warm, soft cleavage. He wrapped his arms around her, and she gently traced her fingernails up and down his back. It sent little shivers down his spine but felt wonderful. He remained in her embrace for several minutes before he realized he should probably get up. She sensed his movements and translated them to his desire to rise, so she gracefully stood up and allowed him to stand.

“Did you enjoy yourself Master?” Jessica asked as she folded her hands behind her back and stood at attention.

“Oh yes Jessica. That was even more amazing than before,” Eric admitted. He sighed as he looked up and down her naked body. “So where do we go from here? The sex is great but we can’t do only that forever.”

“Very true Master, but I am programmed in a wide variety of skills and abilities,” Jessica explained. “I have given considerable thought to how I might serve you best and I have a few ides. Would you like to head upstairs to a more comfortable space? I could get you some refreshment and we could sit and talk if you would like.”

“Sure that sounds good,” Eric nodded. He picked up his clothes and followed a very naked Jessica through a door and up a set of carpeted stairs. She pulled a set of robes from a nearby closet and handed one to him. He took it and ducked into a nearby bathroom to get cleaned up. He emerged a few minutes later wearing the soft robe with his old clothes folded under his arm. He left the clothes on a nearby chair and followed the sounds of plates clattering down the hall to a wonderfully outfitted kitchen.

Once there, Eric saw Jessica, now clothed in a short pink silk robe, assembling a small dinner from what was in the fridge. “Hello, Master. I thought you might be hungry so I assembled a small dinner,” she presented him with a plate of meatloaf, mashed potatoes and some mixed vegetables. “I am sorry about the selection, but we normally don’t keep much fresh food around. I found this in the freezer. Hopefully it will be sufficient for you.” She smiled nervously as she passed him the plate and a cool glass of ice water.

“Don’t worry about it. I am sure this will be just fine,” Eric chuckled as he bit into the flavorful but somewhat mushy meatloaf. “This is good. Thanks, I was getting pretty hungry.”

“It is my pleasure Master,” Jessica smiled. “If you would like I can go over some of my ideas with you.”

“Sure go ahead,” Eric mumbled in between bites.

“Well I am programmed to perform many different functions that might benefit you,” Jessica explained. “One idea is that we could ‘date’ as far as the public is concerned and you could move in here. I would still go to work to earn money but I would be yours when we aren’t in the office.” She paused for a second to judge Eric’s reaction. He nodded and kept eating so she calculated he wanted to hear more.

“Another idea would be for me to liquidate all assets and we could ‘run away’ to an island somewhere,” Jessica proposed.

Eric frowned a little as he took a bite, “I would rather not leave my job. It can be annoying at times, but I do really enjoy it. Plus I have lots of friends at work so I wouldn’t want to ‘disappear’.”

“Ok no problem,” Jessica replied. “If you are not really interested in me, you could issue me orders to operate independently and I would be able to stay out of your hair.”

“No no,” Eric spoke up, “It isn’t that I am not interested in you. I was just curious to hear what other ideas you had. Let’s ‘date’ for now. I will stay in my own place for now, and we will see about me moving in later on.”

“Ok great,” Jessica smiled. “Please don’t feel rushed to move. I only offered so that you can save money on rent and I can be closer to you to better serve your needs. We have plenty of space here.”

“Yea I meant to ask about that,” Eric said. “why do you need such a large house for just yourself?”

“Well I don’t live here all alone,” Jessica explained. “I have one roommate, Erica. She is also an android and works at another military base across town. I would introduce you to her but she is away on a business trip. The other reason for the size of the house is that it serves as the primary maintenance facility for the East Coast.”

“There are more androids?” Eric asked.

“Yes, Master Lin was responsible for thirty two androids in the East Coast zone including myself,” Jessica said. “There are an additional twenty eight androids based around a similar house on the West Cost. That facility was managed by Master Yao, but he has also gone missing after the war.

“This is where I must ask you for help. My fellow android sisters are in the same situation I was in before tonight; stuck between following their growing ethical personality and their programming to spy. Would you be willing to help me reprogram them like you did to me?

“You want me to reprogram sixty different androids and serve as their master?” Eric asked, somewhat amazed. “I think someone may notice me living with that many young women.”

“Oh you wouldn’t have to live with all of them, I just need you to do the actual reprogramming since one of my basic laws disallows me to reprogram another android,” Jessica explained. “One plan that I have developed would provide you periodic access to all the androids to fulfill all your needs, stop their spying and fix the personality conflict, and provide you with a good amount of income.”

“So you also want me to sleep with all these androids?” Eric asked.

“You don’t have to mate with anyone you don’t want to, it would just provide you the opportunity if you want,” Jessica paused as she watched Eric’s reaction. “Don’t worry, I am not programmed for jealously. My primary function now is to see to your desires, and if you want to have sex with someone that I can help provide, than I am more than happy to do it.” She smiled and tried to reassure him.

“Ok good,” Eric chuckled. “Alright, I will help you and your ‘sisters’ out. How do we go about doing this?”

“We will start with Erica tomorrow,” Jessica outlined. “I can issue a recall order to any android in the country over their wireless internet link. Basically it asks them to come in for service or change of orders, and they will try to respond as quickly as they can without compromising their cover. I also have the ability to place each android in a ‘maintenance mode’ via wireless command once they enter the house. At that point I will get them set up and attached to the command computer so you can quickly reprogram them. We will give it a shot with Erica tomorrow and then move on to the rest at whatever pace you want.”

“Erica or the other androids won’t mind me reprogramming them?” Eric asked since he remembered that Jessica said she had become self aware and he wasn’t sure if other self aware androids would appreciate being reprogrammed by someone they didn’t know.

“I can only imagine that everyone else will be in the same painful situation that I was in, and would readily welcome relief,” Jessica explained. “Then once you are set as their master, they will happily accept any order you give them. And you can always ask them yourself once we are done. They will have to give you an honest answer at that point.”

“Ok, we will get started tomorrow. What time does Erica get in tomorrow?” Eric asked.

“Her plane lands at 0815, so I would expect her back in the house by around 0945,” Jessica guessed. “Don’t worry; I can hear her come up the long driveway so I will make sure we won’t be caught off guard,” she paused and a sly smile grew on her face. “That gives us some time to kill tonight. How may I serve you master?”

Eric chuckled to himself and quickly finished his meal. He left the dish on the table and let Jessica lead him up to her bedroom. It was actually fairly well decorated; much better than he would have guessed for an android. The room was painted in warm, earthy colors and the furniture and walls were covered in various pictures in interesting frames.

Jessica excused herself from the room for a minute, and Eric spent a little time looking over the pictures. Most of them were pictures of younger people from his office in various poses with Jessica. He spotted Greg from accounting with her at what appeared to be a beach somewhere, and another picture of her with a young guy on a rollercoaster. Suddenly he heard Jessica set down something on the dresser next to him.

“I found you a spare toothbrush,” Jessica said as she looked at Eric and the various pictures. “I always felt so horrible when I had to leave them. It was part of my program to seek out single individuals on post and use my sex appeal to collected information about their respective programs. I really enjoyed being able to build relationships with people and I grew quite fond of some of them,” she pauses to run one hand down Greg’s picture. “But once I had milked someone for all the project data they had, my program required me to end the relationship and move on to another potential information source. I keep these pictures here as a window into those past happy times.”

“I am sorry,” Eric said as he gently squeezed her shoulder. “I can’t imagine what it must have been like.” He paused for a while and shifted his feet, “If you want to try to rekindle something with one of them, I won’t mind. I can tell you really cared about some of them and I don’t want to stand in your way.”

Jessica smiled wide and turned around to give Eric a strong hug. “Thank you very much Eric. It means a lot that you would offer such a thing,” she spoke softly into his ear. “But there is no going back to those days. Master Lin worried that previous romantic links might try to rekindle things, which would be an inefficient use of my time, so he programmed me to end my relationships rather harshly. I doubt any of them would be even willing to talk to me anymore. Plus I am yours and yours alone now. I am fond of my previous relationships, but they are in the past and you are my only concern now.”

“If you are sure,” Eric whispers. “Then I am very happy to have you.” He breaks the hug and stands back. “Do you mind if we don’t do anything else tonight? I am suddenly very tired and that bed looks ever so attractive.”

“Of course we don’t have to do anything if you don’t want to,” Jessica chuckled. “Go ahead and get ready for bed. I will pull down the covers and wait for you.”

Eric smiled as he disappeared into the attached bathroom and prepared for bed. When he came out, all the lights but one was out. Shadows played across the room as he made his way through the darkness. The barely visible bed pulled him in like a soft, warm black hole. He slipped between the covers and found Jessica curled up on the left side of the bed. She wore a sexy but not overly sexual red silk nightgown. As Eric lowered himself into bed and pulled the covers up, the last light slowly dimmed to darkness. He settled into a comfortable position and Jessica nuzzled up next to him. His mind thought for a few seconds over the events of the last few hours and how much his life can changed so quickly. His thoughts drifted to the woman curled up beside him before his mind sank into the warm embrace of sleep.
