How to Date an Android

Chapter 17 Part B & Announcement! (revised)

"That's also why I hope you can find a way to have more than just 1 of my sisters Jack," she told me.

Now I'm understanding her intent better.

But there really is so many puzzle pieces. Like the corruption in the military I didn't know about.

"Do I put in another order then? Or do you have extra in the warehouse? How would they catch it?" I wondered.

She shook her head, "there are ways that they can catch this Jack. They have spies...informants. Several methods of surveillance. Also hacking satellites is a trick they use. They already to do outright espionage under the security blanket of government regulation and inspection. I'm even worried they can tell who isn't human working at the plant, being masked as humans. Even some of the androids that supposedly work for us aren't on our team too. You can expect that if some of their programming was altered by someone malicious. There's even an...I ...my programming is...so tight...won't let me say it." She manged to force out that much, but even that was tough; it was like her jaw was experiencing discomfort when she tried to force that much out.

"If I didn't know better I would think you are trying to say there's more than one android faction," I suggested.

There was a brief look of recognition, like when you guess someone's word playing Pictionary. But then...

She went blank for a second. "Oh where was i? Sorry I think I dozed off."

Androids didn't doze off. I guess it was some kind of security override? How interesting. I'm pretty sure I was right about more than one android faction. They didn't want her talking about forbidden things.

I didn't want to push it though for fear she'd be forced to leave like last time. Or ...would missing bits in her memory mess her up? This must be what she'd meant before about the security firewall tripping.

"So you were saying we needed to try and buy as many androids as we can get away with. But...how do we get around that? It's not like I can create extra money in my credit chip and it has to be dealt with somehow for a price issue. They had the most sophisticated programs and brilliant minds in the world work on those to prevent anything from being able to hack them," I replied.

"Yeah, that's our current problem Jack. We can't falsify data. A lot of the old ways of hacking androids were corrected over fifteen years ago and they've gotten really good at stopping that from happening. But if we wait too long there won't be another chance either. If the collapse happens and we do nothing...both my species and yours could be in a really bad position," she said.

"So are there a max number of androids that can be done in one order?" I asked.

"Only one per order, Jack. With supervisor approval 2 is possible but someone might look at it. That's another problem to work out; so we have to get creative and find a way to make this work," Barbara said making eyes at me.

"OK. Well... what about you? Do you have an owner?" I asked her pointedly.

She smiled, "as a matter of fact they were saving me for the former CEO. I was supposed to be a present as part of his golden parachute and employment lure package. Then he was caught with embezzlement and it wasn't sure who would succeed him right after since we thought the VP and the CFO were also involved. After that I was valuable enough to be assigned as one of the 10% of androids that can legally work for a bigger corporation without having an owner. Then they wanted to push more androids out when some of the problems were starting to get noticed. My...advanced platform... was considered a plus in helping to get those goals rolling so I started helping close deals and scout out potential humans to adopt and redeem us."

Wow, is this a dream come true?

Interesting that she used the word... redeem too. Words had meaning. And certain words seem to carry the mission and thinking of the androids.

Words like redeem, adoption, and companion.

Sure enough she had this look; it was almost like she was pleading with me to take her in. I somehow doubted she'd have this many one on one visits with customers either. I had thought there was like this spark between us, but had thought it was my imagination.

Barbara was like the sexiest thing alive I'd ever seen too. It explained how refined she was in not just physical form but also having high class etiquette. She also for sure had some kind of huge boob modification I'm sure because hers were almost too big to be reasonable on a very slim waist. If you looked at internet porn for stuff like giant boobs...yeah that kind of body.

"By the way these are real Jack. I know you are wondering about it," she said while pushing them up from below with her arms crossed.

I knew my heart had just skipped a beat, when she said she didn't have an owner. And...she'd been built as a CEO's plaything. Who knew what kind of cool programs she was carrying inside of her to explore.

Gulp*...Long silence of stupefied shock...I felt like I'd just overheated in my brain.

My brain was turning gears trying to process this.

I wanted to see if there was a way to buy Barbara then. She was just too freaking hot to not take without having any vices. But was it impossible? All the androids so far were really super awesome but she was always like an 11 on a scale of 10 compared to their 7 or 8s. But not just that, she was so nice and good. We had this bond almost from the first meeting too because both of us were sharp.

What was also interesting too is that Barbara seemed to be begging me to save her and a few other androids.

We just had to figure out how to exploit this...

This was a second chance! I'd not been able to take Barbra with me before. But now I'd want to give it a go!

No regrets!
