  Chapter 13 Part B

  It’s ter in the day. A few hours have passed since before.

  I’ve got a good head so far for what traits I think will be best. I think it was worth the wait though. I might have missed some things if I’d gone too fast. The customization thing had made things pretty rough too. And customization and picking traits and skills that you can actually use are where the power is.

  I hit the datapad phone and put it on speaker phone so I can talk while leaning back in the recliner. Thank goodness for automated reclines…every story, I mean home, should have one.

  “Mellifera, this is Jane your operator and secretary, how may I redirect your call?” the voice asked.

  “I’d like it if you could patch me through to Barbara please,” I said.

  “No problem. I hope you have a wonderful day sir,” the voice said.

  Then I’m put on hold…

  I hate being put on hold. Even with more technology that’s actually gotten worse for people because more of them are on the phone now days even though they’ve invented more ways of trying to smoothen out phone calling from the old days.

  About a minute ter Barbara picks up.

  “Jack is that you?” I heard her say. I’d momentarily spaced out since I wasn’t sure how long I would be on hold.

  “Oh hey Barbara. Thanks for not making me wait too long. And hi,” I said back cheerfully.

  “Hi. No problem. I’m gd things are progressing. I’m gd you are calling me,” she said brightly. She sounds almost bubbly.

  “So I’m ready to put in my order. I’m finally doing it. We’re going to as you say, ‘adopt’ an android,” I said.

  “Oh you are? That’s…that’s good. I thought giving you a little time would get this worked out well. I knew you’d make a good decision,” she seemed diplomatic.

  “Then could we do that now? I’d like your help. Can we do it over the phone?” I asked.

  “Sure, that’ll work. It’s more efficient than driving out, though I do want to see you,” she chuckled.

  “So …what about the paperwork? At some point there is paperwork and like a contract or something right?” I asked.

  “Oh I will send you that as soon as the call is done to your datapad. You aren’t required to sign anything until right before delivery, but we send it early so there aren’t any surprises in the money or anything to freak people out. The contract will be exactly as you see. No surprises,” she said soothingly.

  “Good. People don’t like surprises,” I replied.

  “Nobody does Jack,” she said.

  “So you understand me that if I see something funny in the contract I’m not blind enough to gamble my life away,” I said to warn her.

  Actually I suspected if there were a surprise that in the dolr amount that might be it. I was still hating myself for not wanting to see the paperwork earlier. But after I saw Barbara for the first time I confess her looks had messed with my head just a little bit.

  “Point taken. I understand you had to say that to protect yourself. It’s going to be OK Jack.”

  “Good. Let’s begin,” I countered.

  “Although I can tie a two way video interface to your phone so we can both go over the appearance data together and you can see in real time how it will look,” she suggested.

  “Good, let’s do that.”

  “OK, just a sec. I’m going to send a link to your datapad. Click OK to accept, then there will be a momentary ten second break in the call, but it won’t be a real break but just have the appearance while it’s doing technical configuration. Don’t hang up and just wait for the sound of my voice,” she said.

  “OK, got it.”

  It happens as she describes. After the ten second break, suddenly there’s a 3D image of a bald girl projecting three dimensional. She doesn’t’ look pstic, looks very real, and her bright eyes and young looking skin do resemble a very young adult probably like what an 18 year old might look like. But no hair is totally creepy.

  “Jack, do you hear me? You should see an image now?” Barbara asked.

  “Yeah good. It’s working then,” I confirmed.

  “OK, so let’s get this sorted. Were you maybe going to pick something like me?” she teased.

  I ughed.

  “Well that would be wonderful. I can’t afford you though. I’m sorry,” I said.

  “Ah that’s too bad. I had to try though. I do think you are a wonderful human though Jack,” she said sweetly.

  She coughed and there was a brief silence.

  This hurts. I can’t buy her, she’s a Liga. Super expensive.

  ...

  “Are…you still there?” I asked confused.

  “Just…just a second,” she said.

  I heard a sniff. Androids don’t get runny noses do they? Something is really weird about the Ligas…

  “I …need to re-calibrate my data, one second.” Then there was another sniff.

  What the heck was going on? Weird. I could almost have thought she was…disappointed but that’s not possible.

  “OK, Jack. I hope we have more people like you,” she said trying to be positive again. “I think your contribution to our AI development will be good and interesting to hear more about ter on if you are willing to share.”

  “Thank you,” I said.

  “So what model did you decide to go with?” she asked.

  “I think I need one heavily modded Carin to sum things up,” I said.

  “No problem. We’ll get that set up. Height and dimensions?” she asked.

  “Not too tall. Something simir to my height, but tall enough to be able to help me but not so tall she’ll scare kids or lose her ability to pass as a human. I’m really worried about that. I want no chance she’ll get detected at all,” I said.

  “Interesting. I like that too. Being detected is a bit scary for us with how many vagrant humans there are and how full of vices some of them are. That’s why I like you Jack, you don’t seem to have any vices at all,” she replied.

  It’s hard for me to picture something like that. I’m just a pin John Doe it seems. Why would she say that?

  “Is there any study on height affecting blending in?” I asked.

  “Well if you want to blend in I’d go with something average. Nothing fancy or tall; a tall android skin will stick out too much,” she replied.

  “So blending in means…?”

  “So let’s just go with something like 5’ 8”? Nothing taller than 5’8” actually but you could go really short if you wanted too. No studies showed being short as getting an android noticed more,” she suggested.

  “Good. 5’8” is fine. I don’t need anything really short.”

  As she said that the video image adjusted a small amount to that height.

  “You know Jack, being short won’t affect her ability to have sex,” Barbara said rattling me.

  “Uh, I didn’t ask that!” I accidentally got defensive from being a bit skittish about certain topics.

  “Oh sorry, I did think it’s necessary to say though. Please forgive me if it was rude,” she said sympathetically.

  “You weren’t rude. It just caught me off guard. I felt embarrassed,” I said.

  “Got it.” She coughed.

  “Do you put in a weight or how does that work?” I asked.

  “Weight isn’t necessary. It just turns out to be whatever it is. We put in height and dimensions but because the structure for androids is simir and of the same material that isn’t a real concern,” she said stiffly.

  Was she stiff because the fear of being a fat human was something androids worried about. I’d have to ask her ter.

  “Got it.”

  “OK, so blending in…Jack if I may let’s come back to that after you pick an appearance first. The appearance you pick could change that a lot,” Barbara said.

  “Sure. The mods will probably take the most time anyway right?” I asked.

  She agreed. “OK, this is just a base to start changing things from Jack, you don’t have to go with this but just use it to get an idea what to start with. Customers find the bald girl in 3D to be a bit creepy.”

  I ughed, “Yeah that had been my thought but I didn’t want to say it. What if she was like your sister then you’d be mad at me.”

  She ughed back. I wasn’t really that funny, but she seemed to want to be pyful with me. “We often have to expin she’s only bald to initially show you are supposed to paint her. And paint what kind of partner you would like. See. Its like giving someone a puzzle to solve. Seeing her incomplete often suggests to potential partners to finish her. See?”

  “OH! That’s brilliant.”

  “OK. Can you see the 3D image? I’m uploading a suggested baseline for you to work with,” she sent.

  The 3D image changed to looking just like Barbara and naked. Milf like, busty, and heavy boobs with very thin ribs, and waist. Her hips weren’t really thin but were fit and appealing still yet not looking too wide.

  There was another silence…

  Wow, I hadn’t considered this concept before. But it was…very attractive. It was very unexpected though. I wasn’t sure how to react at first.

  Why did she send me a model mock up that looked just like her? Did it mean something? What if I didn’t notice? I could be burned from not noticing or noticing too much if she was pushed into this by her makers? But how would I tell which is the right way to go?

  Barbara was the ultimate super woman. And her face was top notch, even for androids she stuck out. There was something really exotic and sexy about she sort of looked half tin, half white with the best of both worlds... I could stare at her face all day. And those gorgeous mega sized tits, were still real looking but without deforming the rest of her body, nor looking fake.

  And she was using a very high resolution interactive model that was so good I would be able to tell if she even had goose bumps on her skin. The model even looked like it was breathing…

  “Um, are you seeing this?” I asked.

  “Uh, yeah is everything OK?” she asked.

  “Well…u-um, I mean…it’s li-like really realistic looking…and stuff,” I managed.

  “So you are OK with it?” she asked sounding excited.

  If it was a human girl and you did this they’d be enraged that you copied their appearance. And they wouldn’t have put it up themselves like Barbara did.

  “Yeah, I mean wow, she’s like gorgeous,” I said. I was almost ready to say more but I felt conflicted.

  Come on Jack, why don’t you just say it. Ask why she’s putting herself on the monitor, my inner voice keeps saying but…I had it on the tip of my tongue when my courage sort of waned just shy of the mark.

  If I don’t say something now I’ll regret it. I have to ask why she sent this particur appearance of HERSELF!

  “Yes!” I thought I heard what sounded like squealing in excitement.

  “Uh Barbara? What’s going on over there? I thought I heard noises,” I said.

  “Oh, I accidentally spilled my drink. Sorry Jack, I got distracted,” she said, sounding really happy. There was suddenly a sound in the background of like tossing something in the trash of what was probably an office cubicle of some kind.

  “So uh… I have to ask. Why does she look just like you?” I asked, finally getting a bit of courage. What If I misread it? I could cause a misunderstanding and burn any chance of building a better friendship with her.

  “Don’t you like it?” Barbara asked, sounding cheerful.

  “Well…I do but…I mean…it’s wonderful. I REALLY like it a lot this way. I’d… make you mine if I could. But I can’t afford a LIGA. You are a Liga model if I’m able to even understand a thing. But how do I say it…it’s kind of awkward making an android that looks just like you while talking with you on the phone about it at the same time without it being you? Are you OK with that? Or is this going to make you feel left out? In theory it could provoke all kinds of reactions. If I did that with a human she’d probably think something very strange or think I’m some kind of perv. But there’s also the chance that you might want it this way? Are you trying to tell me something?” I said.

  “It’s not awkward, I like you Jack. I like you a lot. I think this is very cool. You are what a lot of us hope to be. I’m happy if you choose something that looks like me,” she sounded convincing.

  “But a human girl if you were to do that, she’d think it was creepy. There’s also nothing special about me,” I said.

  “I don’t understand why Jack. I just think you are what we are looking for. The ideal man,” she replied.

  “But why make it look like you?”

  “I’m not sure what you mean. I just want you to be happy,” she sounded a bit sad.

  “But if it reminds me of you in every possible way, and if you visited me, and if we do this way. It makes me wonder if you are hoping I’ll pick you instead. And I’m pretty you don’t have every potential person you meet have their model look like you. Based on what I met about you this is my gut feeling. I’m just afraid I’ll offend you somehow or maybe this will break your heart if I can’t buy you as my companion instead. But I can’t buy you. You are too advanced. Too costly. So...this feels like its hitting a wall and it doesn’t feel good that we connected but we’re not able to connect after this. I wonder if I’m screwing up now. It also makes me upset if you would put yourself in as the model for every customer out there. Why did you do that?” I said.

  “Oh Jack. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. No, that’s not what this wait please, don’t hang up. I’m sorry I didn’t mean to hurt you,” she kept apologizing over and over.

  But I was feeling very confused too. If she did it this way with everyone that would be…like crushing to me right now. It was just… so odd that she put herself in as the model. If I’m any kind of decent guy I have to believe there’s some kind of meaning to that. And I have to hold off on a buy until I understand this and don’t have her or myself disappointed.

  Shit, should I just end the call. I didn’t feel good. “Let me call you back. I need a minute to…pick something up I dropped,” I started to say.

  “Jack, really it’s not like that. Wait please! Wait Jack! Don’t hang up please! Please listen…” she said.

  “I only did that for you. I was hoping you’d like me,” she said, a bit embarrassed.

  “Really?”

  “Yes. I never let customers make an android look at me. I can prove it!” she said forcefully.

  “Are you sure? You aren’t lying?” I asked.

  “Here’s the proof. All the androids appearances that I’ve helped get adopted, it doesn’t have personal information so worry I’m not doing anything illegal. I’m only sending a visual facial of the android appearances they chose. In it you can see none of them have ever been made to look like me. Please believe me Jack! I’m sorry! Please believe me,” she pleaded.

  I waited a bit. And then I could see it.

  And truthfully she was right. The visual feed didn’t show any of them looking like her. Which was a relief. Actually some of these guys made their android girls look like something from a horror film. Some of them are freaky. One of them even had construction nails for jewelry on pierced nipples…

  OK, I’m not looking anymore at that. Some of those pics in the feed are too much. There really are freaks out there. And now I know why they screen people who are adopting androids. Some of the twisted minds and what they did to them are...

  “Jack?” she finally asked. “Are you there?”

  “I’m sorry too. It bothered me the idea of that…and I shouldn’t been possessive,” I said.

  “Actually possessiveness can indicate a protective trait and wanting to move forward positively. It’s not bad like some people think or make it out to be. It’s just how it’s applied,” she said.

  “Oh, I see…”

  “Well let’s change this. If I can’t afford you…then having the new android look like you might make me feel bad and cause hurt and regret,” I said.

  “Yeah I can see why you might think that. Its probably best to change it. It could cause heartache if you are reminded of not being together. On both of our ends also. I could end up with hurt this way too,” she sighed.

  “Sorry Barbara, but I checked the data several times, there’s no way I can afford you Ligas. I hope you’ll believe me but don’t believe I’m not rejecting you or being a screw up,” I said.

  “I know you aren’t a screw up Jack. That’s why I liked you from the beginning. Always you had adversity but didn’t give in. Although if you did make her look like me, she would be kind of like me if you did emute me. I should have thought about how that might create confusion though. I was in the wrong. I’m sorry Jack. Gosh, I feel so stupid and like a human,” she said hopefully. It seemed like a young person almost as if she was asking someone out hopefully…

  I considered it.

  “Hmm well it’s not a bad idea,” I said.

  “Wait! I have a request Jack!” she said suddenly, and very excited.

  “OK? I’ll listen but… it depends.”

  “Actually, I feel renewed from this. Energized. And happy now. We had talked about it possibly causing hurt to you if you made her look like me. But instead, I realized I want this! I want her to look like me! This is my gift to you Jack. And it’ll be OK Jack.”

  “Huh?”

  “Please make her look like me Jack! I can’t expin it, but it’ll be like proof of our friendship and connection. If you do this, I can guarantee something good will happen. I need you to trust me on this,” she added.

  “Sorry I don’t feel good about it. Change it, and that’s final. Don’t make me tell you again. I don’t want this to be an emotional ride for the rest of my life thinking what if I’d been with a Barbara,” I said.

  “OK. But you are honest. That’s why you choose like that Jack. I get it.”

  Both of us suddenly had a huge amount of regret and sadness so thick in the air you could cut it with a knife. It was weird since she was more human than any human I’d been with.

  She reset the picture, taking a minute to do so.

  “OK. I’ll do as you say. Is that better?” she asked.

  It was reverted to the hospital nurse girl’s look, which was still very hot and upscale. It even had a very short skirt with nice legs like they had. The kind that made bad boys keep trying to spank them when they walked by.

  “If you really want her to blend in. I’m suggesting a sort of Loli-con image. People wouldn’t suspect a kid of being an android,” she said.

  “Eh?! But…people would think it’s creepy if we were together. And no I’m not into Loli-cons. What if I’m like holding hands with her on a beach or something and someone decides to jump me for being some kind of sicko,” I said uncomfortably.

  The image she showed me looks like a sixteen year old girl. She does look very young and has a sort of half smile. Barbara had uploaded this.

  “Make her look eighteen please, a bit older than that. I don’t want to lose my job or something like that,” I said.

  “OK. How’s this?” she asked.

  It’s changed again, looking like a brunette girl that’s sort of Caucasian in appearance. It’s no longer like the nurse hospital girl anymore and a couple years older. But then she hits another key and shows me the same image with different ethnicities but of the same overall face shape, but all with a brunette image.

  I do kind of like certain kinds of silky dark brunettes.

  I hated the description of how all androids looked like a model…but it was true. But I wasn’t good at describing it. I didn’t like comparing them to movie stars either, since that is kind of weird and unoriginal.

  After some more tweaks I eliminated all but the Caucasian image. Then I blended it with something Asian and white mixed together. It was very cool. We changed the cheekbones and made her look a bit more warm and less cold but still very elegant looking with long eye shes. Then very thin in the bones and body and face.

  “Actually that looks too good. It will draw attention easily,” Barbara warned me.

  “You look too good too though? And you walk around just fine?” I suggested wondering what the big deal is.

  I’m wondering if she’s jealous too?

  Also for some reason I totally had the hots for brunette girls with certain skin complexions and this was great.

  She ughed, “I do be careful though Jack and have had close calls. My car has an armor modification that had been the previous CEOs backup pn and I don’t go too far from it. I also don’t go to anyone I don’t think I can trust after dark. I basically do nothing after dark that is dangerous. I don’t let anyone see where I live either…even if it is an android garage.”

  We both ughed at that part.

  “Think I should do red hair?” I asked. I’m toying with both red and brunette. Too much red looks really bold and machine like. I liked a natural look that wasn’t too pasty or machined, nor like a video game hair look. But its also possible for red color to look fake if its too deep.

  After we discuss it a few minutes I go for a natural looking blend of both that looks more brunette than anything with just a slight almost barely perceptible red tinge. It’s very soft and blends together well. Even Barbara thinks it’s cool. I did adjust the age again to like something that would pass as 19 or 20 though.

  “So is there anything else I should know before finalizing the appearance?” I asked.

  “Blue eyes would look really good on her and lengthen her hair out really long with a look like flowing river water the way it spills down. You can’t change the interactive model for something like that just that most people don’t see it. Something nice like big blue eyes but not so big they don’t look real. Actually making the eyes bigger is a bad idea for many reasons,” Barbara suggested with a smile.

  “Let’s do it. Can you help me with the hair flowing like water like that?”

  “OK sure. Just a minute. I got that part. Here…” she clicks something and then I hear a bunch of typing, “OK, just one more improvement, moving onto body modifications. If I may suggest it, it can be hard for her to run if you make her boobs too big,” Barbara said.

  “Eh? How did you…”

  “How did I know?” she chuckled. “Everybody thinks of that first. They want something with boobs so big they slosh like giant sacks of cantaloupes. It’s all the same. I don’t think its bad though. People are trying to do this for love. So why wouldn’t they want something that supports love. Make them as big as cantaloupes if you want, I don’t mind.” She shook her head like it was silly.

  “Actually cantaloupes sound good right now. I love fruit,” I said.

  She ughs, “Jack, keep your head on straight, we’re talking about something that’s real here. And just so you know about this time about half the guys here buying an android ask if cantaloupes are the maximum size. Someone asked about watermelon size yesterday. I had to tell him no.” She snaps her fingers.

  We both ughed.

  Actually cantaloupe size is too big. I liked big actually. But not too big

  “Yeah, but its like every man’s dream to have a girl that’s super skinny and that can have them slosh around in sacks as big as cantaloupes…everything else can blend in except this part,” I said not wanting to think about it too much. My heartbeat was going crazy too.

  She ughed, despite my being bold. “Sure, whatever you want Jack. Let’s do those st though OK?”

  “Big love and dreams like this aren’t something to be ashamed of,” I said.

  “Oh I’m on your side Jack. I’m just saying, with the way society is…you need to be able to have her and you both able to run,” she said earnestly.

  “Big boobs are attractive on girls to me too,” she said.

  “Eh? Really?”

  “Oh did that slip out?” she shook her head. “Sometimes my programming makes me say weird things. I can assure you I’m not a lesbian Jack. Not even a little bit,” she said defensively.

  “Good to know. But if you can make the perfect woman…” I started to say.

  “She has to have giant boobs,” Barbara finished for me. “Don’t worry I get it; a lot of people say that to me.”

  “OK, let’s see how it looks so far,” I said. “We’ll get back to the boobs in a minute. We should save that part for st.”

  “You are so right,” she affirmed.

  She showed me the image updated now.

  We take a few more minutes to do some more tweaking and adjustments. We have to also not forget about giving it a toned look and not just spongy flesh. Then we have to tuck in areas that we want to look smooth, and I remembered too that I’m not a fan of body hair…although we decided it would help to keep a some arm pit hair and vaginal hair just so that she would blend in. Some vaginal hair looks good though just not a huge amount.

  “OK, make her waist a bit slimmer,” I said.

  “It’s already slim Jack…” she said.

  “Oh you’re right. Also hip size make it like not too small but very built tight and ft like an athlete with nothing like junk hanging out, and slim long legs,” I said.

  “Oh. You mean the sloppy couch potato look right?” she asked.

  “Yes.”

  I heard something like keystrokes. Then it changed slightly. “If you are going to ask about a double vagina mod it’s not real,” she said thinking she was guessing my next request. But instead she shocked me instead.

  “What? What did you say?” I was confused.

  “Oh oops, I guess my probability program was off. Some types of people…that ask for certain things have a probability for asking for some…things that aren’t typical in a real girl. Gosh, I feel so embarrassed. I’m so sorry I said that, and you are so nice too,” she said.

  “It’s no big deal,” I said.

  “That was so silly of me. I’m not thinking anything weird honestly,” she said. I couldn’t help but notice she was scratching her low cut blouse in a way that made it get pulled lower exposing more cleavage temporarily.

  I don’t think she noticed she was doing it…right? I think she wants me to get her instead. No way I can afford that.

  I look away when she was scratching at her cleavage. I liked what I saw but didn’t want to risk losing trust with her. She does think I’m trustworthy as a good trait so why risk it.

  She did mention that actually a wide hip didn’t look bad and could be good IF it was sort of ft without a beer belly. And as long as the thighs were fit stick thin wasn’t always the best look in women. I didn’t want it too wide.

  “If you like I can…make this next part easier for you,” Barbara coughed lightly.

  “How?”

  “Well the chest usually takes the longest so it was good for you to save that for st. It’s also awkward for you here since you are a guy and you are talking to me about it. But just tell the datapad phone to use my chest as the image for the android’s design.”

  “Eh? I can do that?” I asked.

  “Your datapad phone can’t but the two way simution software can pick it up like an audio signal,” she smiled slyly.

  “Got it. Do it,” I ordered the computer.

  I was a bit surprised.

  “And this is what measurement again?” I asked.

  She reads it off for me…it looks like the perfect love kitten look. Probably only a pornstar and maybe Barbara would resemble this extremely good. But it was banced out by also making it so her boobs would hang down heavily enough to genuinely look real but not look too saggy. Some sag was appealing.

  And if she’d be working in the shop, then I’d be with her when she met with customers anyway and kept a baseball bat behind my business table anyway if someone decided to touch her.

  “You know this almost looks like what the ideal fitness jogger MILF with big boobs would look like. She looks sort of like from eastern Europe too,” Barbara compined jealously.

  “Why Eastern Europe?” I asked.

  “Women are very beautiful and slim over there. That’s why I said that,” she said.

  It had mirrored Barbara’s chest perfectly. She had a really small ribcage and gluttonous heavy boobs that looked impossible on such a small slutty looking body, even if she was in a women’s business suit. It didn’t look weird or impossible but would cause a car accident for sure.

  In short, I realized she did look like some kind of Russian ice princess ssh younger MILF. She was kind of thin in some areas but not in others. Its like someone had turned Barbara into something from an ice country instead of the half-Latin features. In many ways it did seem simir. And I realized Barbara had been sort of nudging me to try to get it closer to her figure.

  But somehow that bothered me. I can’t buy Barbara herself. A Liga is too much.

  “I don’t know Barbara…I want them to be real. I want to be able to feel them and mash them with my hands. If they are this size…I don’t want them to pop or have internal damage because I touched them wrong. And the idea of them not being real just seems so annoying,” I managed to say.

  “Trust me they are real. Her boobs won’t pop and explode if you hold them. Even in rough sex. She’ll be sturdy. Although I don’t want you to try to damage them purposely,” Barbara said.

  “How can they be real when they are that big?” I asked.

  “We…have mods for boobs,” she said in a really embarrassed tone.

  “No. it’s just synthetics,” I protested dourly.

  “Listen to me Jack. They are real. These are going to be boobs so real they’ll be like better than py dough in your hands,” she said, almost giving me a heart attack. I think I almost popped a vein in my forehead.

  “Prove it,” I said.

  “OK.”

  I’m shocked when the video feed pauses and I real rustling clothing. “Is this proof enough?” Barbara is now topless and I can see her image. Barbara herself was now showing me the best boobs I’d ever seen.

  “Holy shit!”

  “Yeah, holy shit is right. Does that look real enough for you...,” she said very calmly and looking at me intently.

  “And…those are…real?” I asked not comprehending what she’d said.

  “Look at them Jack. They hang and droop too heavy to not be real. We have magnetic inducing cells to help preserve shape and ideal droop too. See?” she said trying to show me how they bounced around. She briefly teased me shaking them right and left mildly. It wasn’t a fast shake but a slow swinging of gravity. And there was so much weight they seemed to have the right wobble. She even then swung them from side to side. They were heavy enough the effect looked HEAVY.

  “They…do look real huh?” I said.

  “We have literally dozens of mods just for boobs,” she said.

  “Eh?! No way!”

  “Well there are like three or four mods just for nipples, and then a few dozen for shapes and sizes. Someone even wanted an android mod for four boobs…but that is a rare request thankfully. There’s no way that girl will be able to ever blend in. We should have blocked that sale but he swore he’d love her. Who knows what would happen if people started doing that to themselves. I’m actually gd that my old …owner wasn’t THAT crazy…but in one of his pre-saved models he almost made me that way…”

  My jaw was hanging open.

  “That would be awkward,” I said.

  “And impossible to blend in with,” she finished.

  “But there are people who have real medically fused organs fused like that since stem cell research made eternal life upgrades possible. There are people who do medical upgrades to prevent back injuries for example and for having two livers now so they can drink more without ruining their health,” she said.

  “Does that work, having 2 livers?” I asked.

  She grimaced. “Not as much as you think. There’s a limit to what the body can do.”

  “Ah lets not talk about that. I heard weird things about that. That’s too much,” I said.

  “True.”

  “So you are sure they are real now?” she asked.

  She nodded, “I’ll also prove it another way. Watch this.”

  Carefully she brought out an empty crystalline gss. Then while I watched I was surprised when she began sucking on her own nipples for a brief minute. Then with no warning she starts milking herself. Within another minute the gss is half full of perfectly white milk.

  “Is…that....”

  “Yes Jack, it’s perfectly healthy to drink. Also no contaminants or chemical substances of any kind; its cleaner than your tap water probably.”

  I didn’t even need to make any changes…after that. It was finally done.

  Personality;

  Caring, loyal, helpful, honest, trustworthy, enduring, motherly, diligent, obedient,

  Mods;

  Armored ribcage, Basic psychology, self repair program 2.0 advanced (adapted from Asca models), parenting and child psychology, gun and rifle shooting techniques and safety procedures, close combat techniques for survival, human family retionships psychology, mediation psychology, basic trade negotiation, human banking systems mod, nursing and basic physical therapy techniques, advanced tactical negotiation, judo advanced, aikido advanced, krav maga martial arts, opponent incapacitation techniques for non-killing, dancing, advanced human dating for androids, basic cooking techniques, gardening, farming techniques, hydroponics and container gardening, water purication engineering, EMT skills, first aid, urban warfare survival and tactics, motorcycle piloting, auto mag pilot techniques, hover copter piloting, Police and guard procedures…

  At that point I hit my limit on credits. I had put a lot of mods on her actually. But a lot of them were things other people didn’t think of so they wouldn’t cost much. Like the psychology and parenting mods weren’t something that cost much. They made those so cheap it was almost as if they wanted people to get them. The same with family retionships and dating mods and cooking.

  There was a whole list of procedures that I wanted to add that were like swat techniques and other things but you can’t have everything. Also much of what I’d chosen was for defensive maneuvers but there were also offensive versions of the same thing, like for example ‘search and seizure’.

  It also appealed to me to go for a model that was a ‘virgin’ that didn’t know about sex yet.

  But I had to make a sacrifice on getting that because of needing the points elsewhere…

  I decided I’d train her myself on car mechanics in order to have an additional urban camoufge and hiding techniques military mod. The riots were getting closer to this area. So I didn’t want to take a chance. Plus if she was going to be a companion then I wanted to have time together anyway even if it was in the shop time.

  And of course an extra backup battery and additional water filtration device to ‘keep her blood and systems clean’ and able to st.

  It looked good. Barbara was even impressed.

  She still looked like if a supermodel had decided to be a mom. But without the aging. It was kind of cool. I like this look. If it was the end of the world it would work out, and if it wasn’t I’d be able to have more time to go over auto mechanic stuff too.

  The farming and gardening skills would work with both types of…environments.

  I liked it.

  Barbara was…jealous. I’m sure of it. She seemed even a little bit trying to not be mad.

  But I didn’t have a choice. I can’t just magic up some huge stack of money for a Liga. And Barbara is DEFINITELY a Liga. She hasn’t told me, but she’s too smart.

  How weird. Ligas sure were very human like… almost too much.

  “And how long will it take for this to be put together once the order is finalized?” I asked.

  “Not long Jack, we just have to tweak the genetics a bit. She’s technically already built, but doesn’t yet have the mods or personality core activated. And then we tweak the appearance. So we’ll do that after sending her through the genetics department for the desired changes that you need. It will all be very cool and smooth. You should hear from me very soon,” she said.

  “Thanks Barbara, you are very wonderful,” I said.

  “So are you Jack!” she was so warm in her voice that I had warm fuzzies.

  Long silence…

  “Sorry Barbara…I can’t afford you Ligas…I’m sorry. I know you and I felt something. But a Liga would bankrupt me,” I said.

  She sighed, “This is when you use that saying that life isn’t fair. Thanks Jack.” I thought I heard a sniffle as she hung up.
