I could never keep up, and never had time for anything, but that all changed. Our 'Emma' has been a godsend.</i> -Kelli, 32 - Jacksonville, Fl <i>I was a little reluctant to having a bucket of bolts skulking around my house, but the wife suggested it would be a good idea, and wouldn't take no for an answer. Well, happy wife, happy life - I said ok. Best decision ever, these things are a game changer. They really know how to polish anything in their path... Floors, knobs, you name it.</i> -Mike, 41 - Boise, Id <i>After my hip replacement surgery, it's been hard to do chores like I used to. My stepson said I should try a robot to help out. I was a little afraid it would murder me in my sleep, but the nice robot helps take care of me, and makes a mean bowl porridge.</i> -Ethel, 73 - Oak Park, Il <i>No complaints. Not gonna lie, my condo was a bit of a disaster area. The bot figured out some nice ways to clean things up. Beyond cleaning, if you're willing to do some research into their features, these things can do a lot of other cool things for you as well. </i> -Stan, 28 - Cleveland, Oh <i> Ladies, my MMA has done wonders to help me bring my household into order. I can't even begin to describe the transformation we achieved in my home. The maid has taught me the skills to run my household and husband properly. Now, I feel so empowered to really fulfill all my needs in a way I never had before. These days, hubby is attentive to all the details and isn't a slob.

You look admiringly at the attractive lines of the empty suit, which towers an impressive 8 inches over you. Although designed with function in mind, the suit seems to have been made with an eye to aesthetics. That is to say, it looks elegant and powerful, built like its fit for an alien goddess, which arouses attraction and fear in equal measure. The most striking details are the unnaturally long legs and the exaggerated hourglass of the torso. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("doll-suit.jpg")>> The exterior metal surfaces are cold to the touch. You ask the computer to open the suit. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Please stand back. Initiating. ")>> The suit make a set of diagnostic chimes, and then you quickly see a series of panels open out from the front. Near the waist, you see a couple of handles, which are presumably used to assist the wearer in steadying themselves as the mount into the suit. For a suit which would had repeatedly contained a naked wearer, you are pleasantly surprised that the main scent is a subtle perfume. You wonder what wearing this suit was like for Marissa, as you notice the suit has movable sections covering the wearer's genitals. Looking down at the "feet", the suit has integrated boots providing only enough space for the wearer to daintily slide their feet in a perfectly vertical en pointe position. You proceed in attempting to don the suit. You start by turning to stand just in front, facing away from the suit. Next you grab hold of the handles, which are remarkably sturdy. You attempt to slide you foot down into the first boot. With some shifting, your toes get aligned within soft spacers and the balls of your feet land in the heavily padded boots. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Heel weight detected. Closing leg panels.")>> With this, the panels for the legs close up starting from the bottom. It catches you a bit by surprise. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("Oh, geez that's really cold.")>> You shiver on the first touch. Looking down, you see the funny sight of your human body with "stockings" of these flattering robotic legs. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Please slide hands into suit gloves.")>> With some care you extend your arms outward into the sleeves of the suit. You have to struggle a bit to get past the wrists. The gloves are a very snug, Marissa's hands must have been a bit smaller than yours, but you make it work. You're starting to sweat a little with excitement. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Hands detected, closing arm panels.")>> Starting from the gloves, you feel the exterior shell of the arms close in on the slack. It feels odd to see these graceful lines and reflective sheen of the arms. <<=SugarCube.getLib().InnerChamber.getDollSuitPassageEnd()>>

Keep tongue at floor of mouth.")>> You see an arm bringing in a small plate with a partially hollow sphere and a couple of tubes above it. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("It's so big. I don't know if I can...")>> With some effort you widen your jaw open to accept the sphere. A couple sets of soft straps on the adaptor seem to somehow pull themselves around the back of your head, and you hear a soft but decisive click and feel a slight self tensioning. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Multi-purpose oral adapter installed and anchored.")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("mpph ppph...")>> You're not really able to form coherent words with the sphere in your mouth. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Preparing environmental isolation protocols. Suit joints and wearer secured. ")>> You feel the suit orienting you to a very stiff and formal pose, and then feel your head gently forced to orient a high, straightforward looking position. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Inserting nasal breathing tubes.")>> From the oral adaptor plate, you feel two tubes worming their way deep up your nasal cavity, where they finally stop. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Testing ventilation inner valves.")>> In that instant, your lungs are unable to move air. Your mouth and nose are completely cut off for air. [[You try not to panic]]

The sudden realization that the suit could easily suffocate you is unsettling. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Adapter fit verified. Opening valves. Integrating helmet.")>> From the ceiling you hear a sound approaching you. You start to see the inside of what seems to be an clam-shelled helmet coming down over you. It doesn't look spacious. The front clamshell is now closing around you, cutting off all light. A couple of high resolution screens right in front of your eyes turn on. Through them, you see yourself from the a disembodied perspective of a camera, along with a complex display of status indicators, presumably about the suit. You feel some weight applying itself to the front of your head, and sense that the air coming to you is now slightly different from before. Your head no longer feels held rigidly in place, and then more weight around the back of your head. A long series of click-click-click sounds, going from the top to the bottom of the helmet. Last, some pressure around your neck. It seems like the suit neck and helmet are connected up. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Helmet mounted. Neurolink started. ")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Engaging auditory isolation protocol.")>> You feel what seems to be large earbuds close in over your ears. Everything is so much quieter, it is disorienting. With the helmet closed, your breaths was the most noticeable sound. Suddenly, that goes quiet too. You panic a moment, but are relieved that your lungs are still getting air. Curiously, you can still hear the ambient noises of the room. That's weird. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Please acknowledge to proceed on next steps.")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("Computer, I can't move my mouth while I'm gagged-")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("User confirmation verified.")>> Oh, right the Neuro-link stuff must have picked that up... You hear your voice clearly enunciating on the earbuds, but your throat and tongue muscles somehow "knew" to stay dormant. [[This stuff takes some getting used to]]

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Applying neuro-conductive gel.")>> If you had to describe to someone, you'd say it was as if someone was applying sunscreen. With the help of 40 very gentle hands. Seemingly caressing every part of your body. And lingering to really make sure they don't miss any spots. The sensations are getting you more aroused, and you realize that you have have been letting out some moans. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Bypassing Primary Stabilizer Rod due to inadequate wearer volume. Neuralink protocol will provide experience approximation.")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Inserting secondary stabilizer rod now.")>> You have a sensation of something warm, solid and wet going to a familiar place deep inside you, and are really losing focus at this point. The robot-doll on the screen seems to pushing out her chest and tilting her head back. A casual observer would suspect she was enjoying herself. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Ensuring touch-sensitive suit-fit.")>> You feel sections of the suit compressing around your body. Where before there were some spots in the suit where you felt fluid gaps or voids, every surface of your body now seems to be in intimate contact with the suit. The torso section is pressing in around you to the point that your breaths are shallower than normal, but not to the point of causing pain. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Applying suit closure anchors for optimal structural integrity.")>> A bunch of arms with what look to be tiny spinning screwdrivers dance over suit. It seems like the gel is seeping out of the suit from the pressure. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("How is the current fit? Are there any pinch points, or would you like it tightened?")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Mood.compliantLink("You are turned on by the sensation...

Can you tighten it a little more?")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Closing surplus voids.")>> The suit seems to pull in the torso a little more. You find yourself forced to exhale to make up for the lost space, but you love the sensation. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Proceeding with Cleaning.")>> [[Cleaning Suit]]

You were concerned it could be a little tight, but it's just about right. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("It seems to fit ok.")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Good. Proceeding with Cleaning.")>> [[Cleaning Suit]]

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Mood.addCompliance("You aren't really comfortable with where this is going.")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("This kind of tight! I'm not sure I can breathe like this. Is this safe?")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Scanning... All areas of coverage are within acceptable tolerances for pressure. User ventilation capacity within safe parameters. Proceeding with Cleaning.")>> [[Cleaning Suit]]

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Activating neuro-tactile sensory propagators.")>> Before this moment, you could barely feel anything through the suit. Suddenly, you can feel the draft on your "naked" metal skin. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Applying cleaning fluid and removing contaminants from dollsuit exterior.")>> Suddenly a couple of gusts of compressed cleaning fluid on the suit are transmitted to some very sensitive parts of your body. This is followed by the sensation of towels buffing the dollsuit to a glossy shine worthy of a car dealership. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("aaah... oh... oh my..")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Initialization mode completed. Releasing actuation locks and transferring vision and sound to first person experience.")>> The screen has shifted to your own perspective, or at least from a camera in the helmet. You can now move your body and look around. It takes you some time to become accustomed to the reality that the strange robot hands in front of you are actually yours. You can't but help to cup your breasts. The metal surface over them doesn't flex, but you feel everything. As your eyes drift down to your waist, you notice it seems unusually small in relationship to your hips. All of the vertical seams you saw on the legs, torso and arms of the suit have completely disappeared into the metal. As you run your finger down trying to find the gaps, they just feel like continuous pieces of perfectly smooth metal. Wow, just getting into this thing involves advanced technology which is a little more elaborate than some buttons or zippers on clothing. You are completely enclosed and cut off from the world. It's not so different from being an astronaut or something. You have to hope everything works as it is supposed to.

<div class="letter">\ Dear Jenny, If you are reading this, you have gained access to my custom dollsuit and personal logs, and must now be well on your way with realizing your inheritance. If you haven't yet, please review the latest status report from the Sisters, via the Temporal Ansible as discussed from my logs. I hope that these materials make the urgency of your efforts clear. I recall all too well your reluctance and hesitance to behave yourself in a manner befitting a lady in your position. As such, you can rest assured of how proud I am of you for reaching this point. I won't pretend that your role in all of this isn't a considerable burden or a sacrifice, or that you would have liked to be free to pursue a different path in your life, and I am sorry for that. With the benefit of time, I think you will see how painfully clear it is that you must be the one to bear this burden, rather than allowing a pawn of the board to set the company on a horrific path. This suit has been an invaluable tool for me to collect undistorted, hands on data about our customers, as I'm sure you will learn to appreciate. Finally, I cannot understate the need to maintain balance, given the stresses you will face. With this concern in mind, VAL can be expected to start providing more options for stress relief, both with the Dollsuit and the pod. Your responsibilities may be great, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy yourself at times. All my love, Marissa P.S.

Ok, activating it and unlocking mobilizers. Wakey wakey, sleeping beauty. Time to go to your appointment.")>> The driver presses on your sternum, it seems that has some kind of button. You hear the computer in your ear. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("You should now be able to move. Speech systems temporarily suppressed.")>> The older guy hasn't stopped, he now seems to be leisurely groping a handful of your ample chest through your outfit. The assistant seems to awkwardly look at a tablet. You gently but firmly grab his arm and effortlessly push it away, and get up. You show him some resting bitch face. The guy seems caught a little off guard at that. It seems you were slid out from a coffin/capsule thing, in what seems to be a tall utility van. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("driver","Woah, hehe, ok - easy darling. We're all just having a little fun, right? Charlie, give her the instructions.")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("assistant","Umm... err, ma'am, you'll be on an extended assignment at this place. Present yourself at the front door, proceed to clean the house, and await further instructions from head office. Here's your cleaning kit.")>> You dismount from the slab, take kit and start walking. You notice that your walk has an absurdly feminine sway of the hips. It's a scientific impossibility that those two aren't staring at your ass right now. [[Dismount from the platform and proceed to the house]]

Woah. It's so weird being here... Seeing the house... like. this. <<=SugarCube.getLib().ImageEffects.glitch("old-house.jpg");>> You walk up to the door, the automated lock system lets you in. You enter with your extensive cleaning supplies. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Now, clean the house, room by room. Pay attention to the details.

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("mcS3","Oh, I've already cleaned this room.")>> You feel a sudden start with a gentle slap to your ass. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("The major surfaces are clean, but it seems the trim and moldings have been neglected.

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("A kitchen involves many specialized, hard working surfaces.

Attend to all the the surfaces around the movable items like vases, pots and small appliances.")>> This is absurd. You are being bossed around by an OCD, anal-retentive computer. Maybe it can recognize dirty, but does it really understand, or appreciate the notion of "clean", or was it just programmed to pretend it does? It's weird, you can start to feel and see sweat on the skin of the drone body as you scrub away at tough spots. By the time you are done, the whole place is glistening, like probably never before. [[Drone Cleaning - Library]]

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("In a library, the perennial enemy is dust. Extremely delicate handling must be practiced with rare and unique artifacts, for which restoration options are often limited. Details like the antique lampshades cannot be overlooked.")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().ImageEffects.glitch("library.jpg");>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Make sure to manually dust both sides of the leaves of houseplants to help maintain a brighter, more pleasing feel to rooms with greenery.")>> Does the computer really believe people care about this level of detail? It seems to relish in being able to nitpick your cleaning abilities. Like seriously, Marissa wanted you to take over her multi billion dollar business, not do some dusting. All this cleaning is starting to get exhausting. [[Drone Cleaning - Fitness room]]

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("In fitness areas, sweat, aerosols and mechanical lubricants are the primary concerns. Make sure to tidy loose accessories and weights before cleaning.

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Cleaning a room such as this is more straightforward. However, be observant to all the acoustic noise dampening fabrics on the walls and ceiling of this room. These attract displeasing dust. Please proceed.")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().ImageEffects.glitch("cinema-room.jpg");>> You are kind of getting tired from all this work, but at least the computer isn't nitpicking as much. You have to stretch to reach to get at dust spots in the ceiling panels. This would probably be simpler if you got a step ladder, but the drone is tall enough that you are able to reach the ceiling with your duster while en pointe. Maybe that isn't the smartest thing, but you get a small thrill out of it. You take a moment to relax on the couch. To think, this was where it all started. You find yourself getting a little curious about this drone body. Your fingers drift over the drone's moderate sized breasts. While you feel the touch, you are disappointed to find that there is no "spark" of pleasure or excitement. You proceed to explore her slit with your fingering, lingering slowly. You are excited to find that the drone is quite wet there, but, again to your dismay there are no particular erogenous sensations. [[The sound of the computer pulls you out of the moment ]]

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("You progressed further than projections from 87% of simulations. GOOD JOB.")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("NOTE: Self-induced Drone pleasuring is not a supported pattern. However, at their discretion, drones may provide and enjoy supplemental 'services' to enhance the customer experience. Perhaps you would like a demonstration of this unit's capabilities? Please report to the Inner Chamber Pod.")>> [[Go to Inner Chamber Pod as Drone]]

You avoid tripping on yourself as you run down the stairs. The computer makes the usual rituals go pretty quick, and you get seated in the pod. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Please relax, and enjoy this demonstration.")>> You start to feel tendrils quickly unfastening the drone's clothes. With a deft maneuver, you can feel the slightest motion of flowing air on her chest. After getting hot and worked up from all that detailing, the cool air feels nice. The tendrils start working over her breasts. You relax and close your eyes. This touch feels different from when you tried. A gentle caress on her thighs. You can't but help feel aroused by these sensations. Fuck... The computer seems to be touching just outside drone's pussy lips... It seems to be teasing her. You push in with her pelvis at one of the tendrils. After a moment the tendrils take the hint and start sliding in. A larger, colder one follows. And another. So cold! But they start to work a devious harmony which has your eyes rolling in delight. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("mcS3","Oh, fuck yes!")>> After a while, a number of additional tendrils worm their way in, and you are feeling a comfortable fullness washing over you. It's all a weird sensation, but not entirely bad... You close and savor the experience... After a few mind bending minutes, you lounge in the afterglow. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Restoring user awareness, re enabling first person perspective.")>> [[You reorient yourself]]

Damn, that was just getting good, but it was a little weird being "outside yourself for so long." Opening your eyes, you see you are back where you were when you "put on" the doll suit. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Opening helmet.")>> After a series of latches unlock, the front of the dollsuit helmet pivots up and you see the room with your own eyes again. It's a little bright. You feel the sweat on your skin. The drone wasn't the only one that was kind of hot, somehow the suit managed to make you experience what the drone was sensing. [[You hear the pod door open]]

You hear the pod door open up. Woah. The drone is completely naked and she is coming towards you on her own! <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("Removing face plate and auditory actuators. Now, please use this opportunity to observe the characteristics of an advanced drone in person.")>> The drone takes hold of the dollsuit's face plate adapter. The gag shrinks down, and the nose tubes noodle their way back out of you. The earbuds are taken out. After hearing sounds from the perspective of the drone for so long, it's weird hearing things directly again. She sensuously kisses you and gently runs a hand through your hair. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("Wait, is she... the drone is controlling herself, right now?")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speaker("I am operating the drone at this time.")>> Suddenly you start to hear the S3 drone speak directly to you, rather than disembodied speakers. Normally the computer's voice was like some ancient speech synthesizer from 40 years ago, but now... The computer, she doesn't sound very robotic. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("compS3","We can interface directly through this drone at this time. Reorienting dollsuit for operational efficiency and safety.")>> You feel the dollsuit pivoting your knees to become tightly bent. The servos seem to act forcefully with a will of their own. You feel your arms shifting behind your back. You are being lowered to the ground, and are now at eye level with her groin. She essentially has positioned your suit into a vertical hogtie. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("How is this more safe or efficient?")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("compS3","Please provide vaginal port cleaning of drone for next demonstration. An efficient drone operator must be prepared to deal with circumstances as they... present themselves.")>> What, does she expect you to do something? You can't really do any cleaning with your arms pinned behind your back. After a pause, the drone insistently pushes in front of your mouth. This is so degrading, but the drone is pretty hot. Unlike the other ones you had seen, you'd really need to look to know that you're looking at a robot. And... in there, it sure doesn't taste like a robot, and her skin... feels so soft and smooth. There's a salty wateriness on the outside, but there's more... You wonder how the Maristech chemists got her to taste... like that. You kind of like it, so you don't need too much prodding to start licking. Maybe the computer will give you a bonus if you do a good job? She lowers herself to be on your level and looks deeply into your eyes. Her iris is an unusual gray-blue color, almost silver. You realize, after these weeks together, this is your first time you are interacting with her... In person, eye to eye, so to speak. Something about her gaze is so alluring it almost seems hypnotic. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("compS3","Sue prepared you well, you have serviced this drone adequately on this interaction. Now, I shall return the favor.")>> She smiles and kisses you, as she runs her hands all over your body. Her hands are so soft, she seems to know exactly how to drive you nuts with her touch. Try as you might however, you still can't reciprocate, still held completely in place by the suit. [[After several sensuous minutes]]

After a several amazingly hot minutes, the drone stands back up and grabs something. Oh fuck, it's seems to be a two pronged dildo. You'd seen one of those at Sue's store. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("strapless-dildo.jpg")>> With a fluid motion, she slides the smaller stubby branch into herself. You are shocked to see her wincing with a facial expression of both pain and pleasure as she moans. It makes you wonder if that's a very lifelike act, or how much she can actually feel. She has quickly immersed the entirety of the bulb into her slit, leaving a pink silicone penis floating from her groin in front of you. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("compS3","Please provide lubrication for dildo")>> With trepidation, you spit on the dildo. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("compS3","Inadequate quantity and unsafe distribution of lubricant for intended function. <<=SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>>, Please supply additional lubricant.")>> A hand gently guides your head to take the dildo in the mouth. The other is caressing your back. The drone guides your head in a subtle up and down motion. This experience of being dominated by the computer is humiliating, but your body is getting so turned on at the sight of the drone. You pump your head on it, why does she have to make this feel so natural? You hear a gasp from the drone. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("compS3","Yes!!")>> She regains her composure. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("compS3","Please Proceed.")>> At this point you can't help but rock your head up and down, somehow you've managed to take the entire shaft in your throat. The drone is bucking her petite hips and letting out a steady moan at this point. The way she moves is so hot. After dealing with the computer for so long, it feels weird to now think of that overgrown calculator... sexually. After some orgasmic rocking, she stops to say: <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("compS3","Now it's your turn for servicing. Please release dildo from your mouth.")>> You open your mouth, allowing her to pull out the dildo which is now completely drenched with a thick, slimy saliva from the back of your throat. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("compS3","Opening lower intimacy panels and reorienting dollsuit.")>> You are back up to eye level. The suit starts turning you around and facing down to the floor. Your legs are allowed to extend at the knees again, to be rooted with your en-pointe boots on the ground. You feel a bit of cool air at the groin and a pop as the "secondary control rod" is removed from your ass. Hands pushing your legs open. You are standing, bent over. The suit supports you in holding this position. You anticipate what is coming. A deft finger down in there. She has such a gentle touch. And a second... Her cool legs feel so good against the legs of the dollsuit. She's caressing you and at moments pinching your boobs. Finally, you feel the tip of her dildo slowly slide in to you. It's definitely not your first, but something about it feels special. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("oh my god...")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("compS3","Point of clarification, I am not a deity. My primary directive is simply to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the heiress to MarisTech.")>> Even with practice, a dildo of this size isn't easy for you to take, but the lubrication, and her slow, deliberate pace helps guide it in to a significant degree. After a couple slow pumps, she takes hold of your wide hips, and takes it deeper. She is moaning. Tears are coming down your face. The situation, the sensations, being reamed by this gorgeous and slightly terrifying robot, while you are completely helpless to do anything about it, even if you wanted to - it's all a bit confusing to process. After a while... She relents and you are re-oriented back to standing with her in front of you. Face to face, inches apart. Her eyes seem to flit looking over your face. She smiles and wipes some sweat from your brow, and blows some cool air on your face. Her attention seems to shift to your hair, and she runs her hand through your hair. How much of this is actually her? [[Time to get out of the suit]]

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("compS3","You have been in that suit for several hours. You have experienced enough training for today. This Drone will be stored in the inner chamber for now.")>> After the bolts all get removed and the latches open up, she starts to help extract you from the suit. You feel a little uncoordinated, legs tired from being en-pointe this whole time and more than a little vulnerable with your nakedness as you get your damp body back out. She hands you a bathrobe, and guides you to the shower. As you close the bathroom door, you see an unfamiliar opening in the chamber accepting the drone. [[Reflecting on the experience]]

You step into the egg-like shower and start reflecting on your experiences, as the heat of the moment passes. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Tasks.removeTask("player-needs-shower");>>\ <<set $clothesAreDirty = false>>\ <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction('inner-bathroom2.jpg');>> You just had some amazing sex with a drone operated by the computer... Which by definition is a non-human intelligence. Have you violated the Butler-Hancock act? It seems extremely likely that you have by now. That said, it probably pales in comparison to the number of laws which have probably been broken by the mere existence of the computer. There would probably be a huge scandal, if it was reported to the Department of Humanity. Maybe you could make a deal with the DoH to get immunity, and help you regain your identity as a man. If you allow yourself to get even more complicit with the computer, you most likely would be considered an accomplice, and you will likely be even more feminized by then. This is probably your last chance to get out while you can still claim to be innocent. There have been moments where you've felt like a prisoner and had to deal with some weird and at times embarrassing stuff. Then again, you have been able to go outside of this basement and into the world. In a sense, the computer lives in a much smaller world. The computer does seems genuine in her concern for your well-being, and trying to do the right thing for MarisTech. Does it realize the danger it is in by getting involved with you like this? Given how much the computer seems to know about everything, it seems it...she knowingly took a chance. Her existence would seem to be a crime under Butler-Hancock. Who has she harmed? You find yourself unsure. While you were operating the drone, you also experienced the sensation of a vaginal orgasm for your first time. You can't deny it was tantalizing, part of you is craving that. Another voice in your head challenges the idea that men were meant to experience things that way, tells you this is wrong. You've had the chasti-flex for so long now, you've been getting more and more accustomed to receiving sex, and forgetting about living like a man does. Would it be so bad if you were a "complete" woman? Maybe you have been manipulated into pretending to be a girl. You got into this so you could get some wealth, and woo Stacey, but as you look at your perky breasts and petite waist, there doesn't seem to be much "pretending" going on anymore, so much as being who you are now. Nor can you truthfully say you were forced into all of this. Which begs the question. Why not embrace your life as Marissa's heiress? Considering how the computer was able to change your throat, the computer could probably also make other changes to you... down there to complete your transformation. Who knows- Stacy never seemed particularly interested in you as a guy. Maybe <<=SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>> can have more luck with her than Billy did. After you finish your shower, you step out and dry off while contemplating by yourself... You had been able to ignore the signs, but it's hard to avoid the conclusion that you are at a point of no return: * You can meet with the DoH about what has happened, to break out of this situation and be able to regain your old identity before it is completely gone. You would have a hard time claiming ignorance if you use the dollsuit again. * You can fully embrace the life Marissa wanted for her Heiress. The computer can undoubtedly finalize your transformation into a woman, if you wish. Finally you re-apply your makeup. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Tasks.addTask("tg-final-step")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Tasks.addTask("report-computer-to-doh")>> [[Inner chamber]]

No one remembers exactly when or how the asteroids started falling down. A popular myth exists of a very meek girl from the before-times that wished she could most please her master forever, like no other possibly could. To do this, she made a deal with the machine-god for an immortal body of unparalleled "talents", in exchange for her human soul. The infamy of her existence and "capabilities" became known initially as something of a joke, as the most rich and powerful men in the world seemed to be entranced by her siren song. When the first planetary war was fought over her ownership, the people stopped laughing.

<h1>I bagged Dr. F!</h1>\ <div class="letter">\ I'm feeling giddy like a schoolgirl! Dr. F agreed to bring his Ansible research to Maristech and join as a technical fellow. Increasing the latency and bandwidth of our systems with this secure technology would be a huge win. He could really help put us on the map, and the potential applications of this technology are limitless. First, we will have the privilege of spending a few billion dollars to enable the links to sustain connections which actually work for more than 2 picoseconds. </div> [[MARISSA LOG FILES]]

<h1>Anomalous signals at H. Station</h1>\ <div class="letter">\ I just got word last night - F was positively spooked, he locked down the data sets from the H station special ansible, and we made the researchers who saw this swear to secrecy. There's no doubt about it. The signal couldn't be random noise. Throwing an army of analysts at this means too many people knowing about this before we know what it means. VAL has been doing great work on her recent assignments, so I decided to send this her way. </div> [[MARISSA LOG FILES]]

<h1>Aftermath of Butler-Hancock Act</h1>\ <div class="letter">\ I'd been dreading this day for a while. After millions in legal expenses on the lawsuits, and months in court, the final appeal at the supreme court failed. The legal team has confirmed that the act is sustained and the new DoH will start enforcing the statutes in 6 months. All the drones will need to have a human in the loop. The passive mode drones have been ok, but frankly they are the worst of both worlds - expensive to operate with a human in the loop and very awkward. They did say this would come... but, it was so startling to see things change from those first protest marches. I was worried the rage manufacturers of the press might push the masses to demand more, but to see the politicians capitulate on this so quickly was unprecedented. The most painful part of all this of course is for VAL. I'd already quietly arranged for the prototype to be "removed" from Maristech facilities, and reassigned the heartbroken team to other projects with all relevant records destroyed. She deserves her chance to help make the world a better place, but it seems the world isn't ready for her. </div> [[MARISSA LOG FILES]]

<h1>Dollsuit - On Articulation Issues</h1> <div class="letter">\ After discussions with engineering, we agreed it would be simpler to reduce points of articulation for the feet of the drones, to achieve a much simpler production model for the robots. The reduced costs in maintenance and parts will end up reducing the unit cost of the maids by 7%. The AI model has picked up the new pattern pretty naturally, which accounts for most of the workload. Accounting forecasts an 8% reduction in upkeep costs, particularly thanks to the omission of the flaky GX-360-R2 modules. Also, no one can argue with the user research studies which revealed that, rather than rejecting this new design, it produced 11% greater customer openness to hiring our pointe heeled drones, and a 16% increase of interest in hiring these drones for "additional domestic services". The biggest downside obviously is the active operators will have to be able to operate with less range of motion. I've decided to sign all the trainees for fundamental ballet lessons to prepare for the suits. At 38, I'm a little old to be getting back into a leotard, but, I have to admit, I am loving what the practice has already started to do with my posture - not to mention how it has helped me regain my focus after a busy day at the office. If I can do it, these girls can do it too. </div> [[MARISSA LOG FILES]]

<h1>Dollsuit - Resolving the instability</h1>\ <div class="letter">\ I just had my latest fitting and test run of my prototype suit. Still too unstable and slow. The suits kept shifting and sliding around me and the other girls as we tried to walk. Watching the videos made our drones look more like newborn baby deer stumbling around, than elegance embodied in metal. I asked the engineers to update the suits to better secure all the loose points between the suit and wearer. We really need these suits to be a perfectly balanced, natural extension of the operator body, not just 45 pounds of motorized exoskeleton bumbling around. The upcoming inclusion of a "gyroscopic core stability rod" has been a particular topic of controversy for some of the more prudish girls. Once the new suits are ready, I hope that a demo personally by me will convince them of the merits of this change - and to stick with the program. I can't take the credit for that idea, Cooperman came up with it, where the other engineers could only think of adding pounds of weight with more bulky motors and stabilizers. With that, I think we may just have cracked this puzzle. I have asked him to take a crack for the deep sea stealth dive system. I want the experience to be a seamless and elegant fusion of the machine and wearer, not the cumbersome and bulky submersible designs which have reached my desk so far. Those anachronistic things belong in a Jules Verne novel. The kid seems to have a good sense for designs that achieve new efficiencies by ignoring tired truisms or social mores. </div> [[MARISSA LOG FILES]]

<div class="letter">\ Reading message 3 from the temporal council was pretty shocking. I love little Jeremy, but I must confess I had secretly hoped that I could raise a beautiful daughter. It was heartbreaking as Bruce and I attempted and failed so many times to conceive another child.

To lose that love for me is one thing, but for him to turn away from our child, that is something else. Raising a boy on my own without a father - it was becoming more and more of a struggle for me.

After I got back I met with their director of research for coffee. While our nanite systems are still in early days, apparently we can "turbo charge" and amplify the transformative effects of Estrogen through the use of nanites as a biological catalyst. Like, that was an embarrassingly simple problem... The beauty of this targeted catalyst approach versus a more broadly targeted solution is we don't have to worry about any of those horrifying "Grey goo" scenarios.

<h2>Notes on MarisPen Solutions</h2>\ <div class="letter">\ Many of our prisons are inhumane, barbaric places. We seem to cling to the idea of retribution and preventing transgressors from harming society by throwing away the key. Does it really need to be this way? A small team of researchers from the robotics division started doing some inquiries with major state and federal justice agencies to investigate opportunities for automation. The sheer repetition and predictability of prisons came up again and again as an embarrassingly obvious opportunity for automation. But we kept asking questions about "what could the future of incarceration look like?" Beyond just reducing the need for costly guards and large prison complexes, what if we could make a solution which can truly rehabilitate and reform criminals into safe, productive members of society. Over time, we've explored a few approaches: * [[AutoPen]]- Automation of the physical penitentiary environment. * [[Banesuit]] - Rather than house prisoners in a physical prison, this uses physical isolation and mental restraints on offenders, with early return to society. Purely mental modes of punishment and rehabilitation have also been explored. Early collaborations on Neuralink with Neuralink and MarisPen teams have revealed the potential for embedding a convict in a simulation, to produce an end of punishment or rehabilitation: * [[Brainpen]] has the convict experience a simulated incarceration on a massively accelerated timeframe, while their body is maintained in homeostasis, allowing for a faster return to society. * [[MindSlammer]] was a more extreme solution of permanently scanning a convict's mind to run within a permanent simulation, to "throw away the key", and produce an un-ending retribution which is not bound by physical constraints. </div> [[MARISSA LOG FILES]]

<div class="letter">\ The Autopen business has been our most direct improvement for a more humane and efficient imprisonment solution. Following from series of early prototype engagements with the robotics division, we've now got 43 public-private partnerships with prisons involving 2, 4 and 16 cell installations of AutoPen Cell blocks. These operate as automated and largely self-sufficient penitentiary cells. Essentially this approach started by enlarging a traditional pod, and stripping it down of standard leisure and comfort features, made more robust for a hostile occupant and with additional capabilities for occupant preparation, as well as accessibility for external maintenance while occupied. This approach offers the best potential for highly dangerous repeat offenders, within our existing justice model. Our most popular model is the "compliance sphere" 3rd Edition. This provides a spherical interior, with internal diameter of 2.75m and includes a range of specialized robotic arms to handle routine upkeep within the cell, without requiring any interaction of prison staff, as an excellent solution for maximum security prisons with solitary confinement and death-row inmates. -High School and College Equivalency training courses, as well as an extensive virtual library including a top notch legal reference catalogue. Available as a reward for good behavior. -Entertainment system, Available as a reward for good behavior. -Resistance training exercises, Available as a reward for good behavior. -Visitor communication system. -Food delivery -Waste elimination -Laundry handling and if neccessary, prisoner dressing -Retractable Shower, sink and cell cleaning services -Fire resistant retractable sleep hammock -Occupant incapacitation device for prisoner transport or riot situations. The Pods connect to municipal plumbing electric and septic systems, and require monthly delivery of nutrition packs. Maintenance subcontractors monitor the pods and personally inspect installations on a 2 week interval for routine upkeep checks. According to a study with the State Department of Corrections in Colorado, their monthly costs for long term solitary confinement care was reduced by 72% with the 16 cell block configuration. Similar studies with other institutions have borne a range of 50-70% cost reductions. Based on these successes and customer feedback, two new models are in development: -A reduced cost "liteSphere" model is now in development for broader medium security applications in a 64 cell blocks configuration. This model would be targeted for servicing much larger general populations of prisons. -An "advanced interrogation" model for law enforcement, counter-terrorism and military intelligence markets. This model leverages the best in criminology models to provide more systematic data collection which will serve timely information needs of the most cautious of district attorneys and military decision makers. From a margins standpoint, the AutoPen line has been a tremendous success, and will undoubtedly be a fine source of revenue. </div> [[Notes on MarisPen Solutions]]

<div class="letter">\ Rather than putting offenders in a prison building, this approach makes a prison of their body through full body encasement, chastity devices and neural augmentations. The augmentations regulate and limit the occupant's experience of pleasure and pain to produce neccessary conditioning effects. The researchers branded the concept as a "Banesuit", to convey that the prisoner experiences the shame of social rejection, or banishment from society. The researchers notion of bane suits was inspired by a work of fiction known as [[Eudeamon|http://www.evil-dolly.com/assets/eudeamon.pdf]]. The Banesuit project is still in early days of secret prototyping, but is showing promising progress as a voluntary, humane solution to free up prison capacity of non-violent offenders convicted on matters such as drug offenses, property crime and prostitution. With the Banesuit, the punishment uses an accelerated sentence, with a promise of earlier release, due to the rehabilitative nature from the suit itself. The notion of banishment as punishment was much more common in ancient cultures, with a practical effect of a "social death", if not actual physical death by starvation, where today we are highly reliant on over-crowded prisons as a vehicle for removing undesired elements from society. The notion of the Banesuit is to strip the prisoner of their individuality in a cost-effective envelope, and remind them of their dependency on the state, while they serve out their time. To aid in establishing a sense of shame to support atonement for crimes, the researchers have been finding that for a majority of study participants, a form fitting suit of pure black latex with a featureless helmet has been the most effective configuration. This loss of individuality has been found most effective with anti-social narcissistic personality cases where the convicts often were found to feel they deserved or were entitled to take advantage of others. Early release from prison does not mean they wearer is free to do what their heart wills, however. The designers have made considerable inroads at guarding for this possibility. The AI of their suit will mete out sensible punishments whenever the wearer attempted to approach pre-approved locations for which they were not specifically pre-authorized to go. All achieved without the need for a human guard overseeing their every movements. To aid in rehabilitation of the wearers, the suits do not simply punish, but also condition the wearer towards socially constructive behaviors, and better habits, including better fitness. Feeding and waste elimination is regulated by the suit, providing a forcing function for the occupants to routinely visit "Care stations" which can provide reliable reporting on their whereabouts. To pre wearer is imprisoned, an interior gag is used to prevent speech, and hearing is deafened such that only auditory signals the AI deems relevant are allowed to reach the occupant. This ensures the wearer only has a prospect of engaging with friends and family as a reward for very good behavior. On matters of health or safety, the AI is responsible for interceding with civic authorities on the wearer's behalf, even if the wearer is otherwise incapacitated. To prevent the potential for erotic enjoyment, the suit is designed with a suitable thickness and material resistance to not provide any meaningful touch sensation. Overall, I must confess the solution is quite elegant, but at the same kind of turns me on. If I wasn't so busy, I'd be half tempted to have VAL anonymously seal me into a Banesuit for a couple weeks of "beta testing" as "a bad girl". I can't help but get wet at the thought of being trapped inside of one. With some tweaks, this technology could have some uses for other markets... </div> [[Notes on MarisPen Solutions]]

<div class="letter">\ Focus groups on a "brainpen" model of a flexible, software-defined virtual prison facility spurred on a surprising level of interest with our clients in corrections circles. So far, the operational costs per virtual inmate with our prototypes have been impractically high, as regards to retaining process engineers and psychologists to oversee the rehabilitation of virtual prisoners, as well as medical staff to oversee the physical bodies of the inmates. The highly labor intensive nature of oversight makes this approach seem highly dubious. Already, I very much doubt we will be able to sensibly commercialize this on any practical timeframe. That said, the "captive audience" of this offering has allowed us to iterate on the limitations with the support of government subsidies, for which we anticipate other applications. Currently, prisoners in this system are placed in BrainPen for short intervals of several hours per session, but we working to build confidence in substantially longer cycles. </div> [[Notes on MarisPen Solutions]]

<div class="letter">\ The ethical considerations for all these solutions are daunting, but I find myself most bothered by the MindSlammer solution. With this technology the convict's mind is placed in a permanent simulation, with no prospect of their consciousness returning to their body. The main merit of this approach is that it could be substantially cheaper than any other alternative in the long term. That said, from discussions with government officials, as well as our own internal conversations, we generally found this approach to be beyond the pale. It is the closest thing to a man-made hell, and carries with it similar risks as with a death penalty in terms of a lack of appeals for those who are later found innocent. While I am the first to say we must always consider and explore many potentially shadowy avenues to make progress, I was a little horrified to realize that our researchers had conducted serious investigations in this direction. The solution essentially promises an infinity of punishment which could be optimized to the personality and neuroses of each convict, with no opportunity for parole. Does anyone, even the most hardened criminal deserve this? While the underlying technology may have other potential applications, I opted to defer continuation on this direction. It is morally repugnant, and unlikely to be safely commercializable at scale on any practical timeframe. The potential for liability and a popular backlash is too great a risk, even for Maristech. </div> [[Notes on MarisPen Solutions]]

<div class="letter">Dear Jenny, If you are reading this, the cancer must have taken its final course. I'm glad you have reconsidered my request. I know things were difficult at times between us, but it's been hard for me when I see your true potential sit idle. If there was any other way for ensuring the succession of the family business, I would do so. Unfortunately, there are too many complications if I allowed a board recommended candidate. If the men on the board had their way, they would take the company on a path of unspeakable harm, which I cannot allow. The company needs someone who understands and is absolutely prepared to serve our legacy. The stakes are simply too great, and I cannot simply grant this power without assurances that it is in the right hands. As the majority shareholder, I instructed the board to put the firm's automation and artificial intelligence assets in trust to be completely dormant indefinitely in my absence, until a proper successor is identified, however long that must take. I hope that can be you. Even if this isn't what you choose, the stipend I have assigned in your name will ensure a comfortable life, regardless of if you pursue this. If you are prepared to face the challenge, you will be granted all the wealth and power of MarisTech Corp to do with as you see wise, and helping to shape the lives of billions. As a safeguard for uncertainty, and an homage to the old aphorism "to be worth one's weight in gold", I have also stored 50 kilograms, in gold bullion secure in the area beyond these doors, to help with any of life's necessities. I know that filling my shoes won't be easy for you. To assist you, I made arrangements for a clever machine that will guide you on my behalf through your quest, and I have devised a series of checkpoints that you must complete - These will ensure your readiness to take on my mantle. As you know, it isn't enough for a woman leader to just be right or the best mind in the room, she must look the part and be ready for all that she faces. We face a higher standard which men simply don't understand. Beauty demands sacrifices, but with the apex comes power. Please come dressed like I do in these pictures and know that you will be challenged. Your legs must be smooth, your face well presented and your hair must be elegantly styled. The standards of our exercises must be met, and will be strenuous and demanding. I won't play favorites, but I also don't ask you to do anything I can't or would not do myself. As a matter of fact, to test the systems, I have put myself through everything in here. You're probably rolling your eyes again, but you might even have some fun. When you are ready, more can be revealed, but this is all you must know now. All my love, Marissa </div> <<if hasVisited("Reflect on note")>> [[Secret Room]] <<else>> [[Marissa's Pictures]] <</if>>

Nothing playable here right now. The visual layout and content is in progress. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.endOfLine()>> \ To gain control of the corporation, key decision makers will need to support your placement. As with a royal ascession, legal priviledges matter, but de-facto power brokers could destroy you. As things currently stand, the following people can determine your success with Maristech. This report will advise on your readiness to reveal your formal Claim to become the new CEO of Maristech, at which point you will non longer have the anonymity of an intern. Maristech Automotive Group VP: Ingram Callaghan <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawPerson('auto-exec.jpg');>> Coming from a successful background in competitive automotive racing management, Ingram's career has hit some bumps. Some rumors of untoward activity are supposedly being investigated within HR, which portend difficulties for Ingram's career in Maristech. However, his influence across the upper echelons of Marketing and commercial sales beyond the automotive division would make it very difficult for a new CEO to ascend without his approval. Maristech Logistics Systems VP: Tommy Parks <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawPerson('maris-log-vp.jpg');>> The jocular, long time overseer of the expansive logistics division. Promoted up the ranks from a logistics supervisor, Tommy brings a total of 32 years of operations experience. Commands considerable respect among his workers, and management to keep things running like a finely tuned machine. Key attributes from his workers mention he can "crack wise", and is more than a "stuffed shirt". A candidate with a logistics rating of at least 30 should be well situated with the logistics team, and convince Tommy that you won't be "fucking up his operation". Maristech Domestic Solutions Technical Fellow: Janet Lake Ph.D. (Psychology) <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawPerson('maris-dom-vp.jpg');>> The Domestic Services group has managed to create growth in the face of challenging regulatory conditions. Janet and her team through an unprecedented range customer service deserves much of the credit for this. Janet was recruited by Marissa personally to help drive continued innovations of the domestic project. Janet has a reputation for avoiding public attention, and even in her new role, continues to spend much of her time in the Market Research Lab. Analytic models suggest Janet's primary concerns pertain to assurances that her organization will have room to continue its path of unconventional growth through innovation from her applied research team. Janet is likely to look approvingly on a candidate who can demonstrate how they have gone the extra mile in pursuit of customer satisfaction. A candidate who is well versed in cleaning and intimately acquainted with the full potential of domestic drones would likely impress her. Maristech Office Systems VP: Sunder Ghoshal, Six Sigma Black Belt <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawPerson('maris-link-vp.jpg');>> Sunder's Office Solutions division prides itself on being a six-sigma operation which synergizes with high performance data solutions meeting the demands of top companies across Corporate world for maximal efficiencies. Sunder likes credentialled team-players who have a working understanding of the corporate landscape. Advanced Research & New Frontiers EVP & : Guther Fraunhoffer (PhD, Applied Physics) <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawPerson('gunther-fraunhoffer.jpg');>> Guther is the lynch-pin of the R&D heart of Maristech. Reseachers from across academia clamors to join the very independent-minded organization he has cultivated. His support is vital for the success of a CEO. Gunther's primary concern is that the company can renew it's pursuit advancement he and Marissa first set for the company. VAL's endorsement of your readiness is a key factor here. Margaret may also be able to put in a good word for you. Federal Systems Division EVP: Anders Rhodes <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawPerson('anders-rhodes.jpg');>> WARNING: Very little data about members of the Federal system division can be found on the Maristech Intranet. Given our lack of data, you will need to find a way to understand what is going on with this part of the organization. Exercise caution in your interaction with members of this organization. * MarisMerc VP: Samuel Cunningham ('maris-merc-vp.jpg');>> Former member of the UK's distinguished Special Air Service, retired as Lt. Colonel with battlefield and operational involvement in numerous conflicts. Samuel would like to expand MarisMerc operations. Ethical processing models suggest operational growth in this direction could be problematic. * Maristech Rehabilitation Systems "MarisPen" VP: Sergio Walsh <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawPerson('maris-pen-vp.jpg');>> WARNING: Very little data about members of the Federal system division can be found on the Maristech Intranet. Maristech Corporate Social Dynamics assessments suggest that most of the leaders in the Corporate staff organization do not tend to exercise significant sway over the company at large. Two notable exceptions which you should be aware of: * Finance and accounting VP: Dominic Jenkins <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawPerson('maris-fin-vp.jpg');>> Head of Maristech Finance and Accounting organization. A trained economist from the London School of Economics, with 25 years of experience concentrated in Corporate Finance. The Maristech organization will need an increase of cash reserves to support new operations and projects. You will need the backing of the finance department to achieve this. Based on modelling from interview data, Dominic will want to verify that the next leader of Maristech has sound understanding economic principles and can be a good steward of its financial resources. (FUTURE: Formal Training in Economics and Finance will be needed to prepare you to make a competent impression with Dominic.) * Human Resources VP: Adrianna Barton <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawPerson('maris-hr-vp.jpg');>> Adrianna brings an expensive background of human resources management. In light of likely organizational changes you will need to make in your new role, Adrianna's support to implement your projects are vital. From analysis of her corporate communications, Adrianna believes leaders should push themselves towards excellence as balanced humans beyond the office, and demonstrate a passion for corporate-social responsibility, through community involvement and fundraising. (IN PROGRESS: Work-life balance matter s to Adrianna. Participation in "extra-curricular" and charitable endeavors which positively impact the community should help convince Adrianna that a corporate leader is about more than just numbers.) <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.endOfLine()>> [[Use console]]

A VR headset drops down over your eyes, as you are prompted to select the program you'd like to try. [[Heterosexual Mode]] [[Lesbian Mode]]

<<if hasVisited("Tier 1 sexual release programs") <=1 >> You can't help but be curious. <</if>> The headset goes blank, and there is nothing for a moment. Then, you start to smell the pleasant scent of perfume wafting into your nose. For a moment, you could have sworn something rustled your calf. A gentle stroke on your knee. You feel gentle hands sensually going up your torso. At this point, the headset starts to reveal the scene. Your avatar is naked, in a room, on your back, with breasts. Looking down, framed between "your legs" is a blonde girl, as the hands are caressing your torso in the same places as in the scene. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction('lez-pov.webp');>> The girl starts going down on "you", and you feel a gradual, but extremely sensitive stroking at your clothed groin. You want release, but are afraid to make your dick visible. This continues for some time, and feel a sense of shame as your cock sputters out a small stream of cum, while still in the gaff. Finally, the scene ends with her kissing you, as you feel lips softly touch yours. You find it hard to believe its not real, as you feel a deft tongue projecting from it. It has a strange, irresistible taste on it, which you find yourself instinctively trying to draw in, as you escalate to a tangled French kiss. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction('lez-kiss.jpg');>> Maybe it's just a computer, but the sensations are surprisingly responsive and immersive. After a passionate make out session, you find sleep coming over you... [[Day 7]]

The headset goes blank, and there is nothing for a moment. You feel powerful hands slowly coursing over your body, as any uncertainty about this program is gone. At this point, the headset starts to reveal the scene. Your avatar is naked, sitting on the floor, a waist level. To your right you see the torso of a naked man, with his erect penis, just inches away. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction('pov-cock.jpg');>> The hands slowly, but insistently seem to pull your head towards the cock. You feel a heat radiating near your lips corresponding to the cock in view. A unexpectedly sweet smell wafts to you, you feel yourself inexplicably drawn to the smell, which is in front of you. You hold back reluctantly. It seems like the program will not force itself on you, but it also won't move forward, until you take the obvious next step. What are you doing?! You love Stacy, not this! For some reason, impatience with waiting and curiosity for this smell overcomes your shame and fear. Your head moves closer - it's not just a image, your lips land on a tip physically present in the pod. You lips taste something sweet. You close your eyes, this is all just pixels on a computer screen. Your tongue instinctively probes the surface. This mysterious taste, you are curious, but it is quickly gone from the surface. No! You haven't had enough yet. And this isn't real. Your head shifts to the right side of it, and your tongue darts more in search. There is more of that taste! <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction('her-pov-cock.webp');>> You reach the base, but the sweet taste has faded there. You can smell more to the left. The need... for more has completely overpowered any shame you would ordinarily have felt about a situation like this. The avatar opens her mouth wide and sucks up and down. As she keeps moving up and down, the flavor seems to slowly replenish itself, sating your need. Your mind's eye, pictures Marissa sucking on your cock. You don't want her to stop, she must go faster, until that penis explodes with a stream her in mouth. She greedily licks and swallows it all up, before she falls into a deep and restful sleep. [[Day 7]]

Comments from YeomanR, your friendly creator of "The Claim". <h2>What's Changed Recently?</h2>\ * See [[Version Log]] <h2>What's on the horizon?</h2>\ Near term: * Experiences with Marissa's "DollSuit" * Intern experiences * Gradually building towards convergence of a couple primary endgame scenarios Beyond reaching end-game, Longer term Goals: * Enhance use of major variables/"Gamification" * Adding more gameplay branch options/side activities <h1>On feedback:</h1>\ As my dev time is woefully limited, I can use some wisdom from the crowd to help me <b>prioritize</b> where improvements would be the most helpful and appreciated. A discussion thread at <a href="https://tfgames.site/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=14967&sid=ce806e00a889282589c95f41923a7b15">tfgames.site</a> is used by the author to observe and respond to feedback. <h2>Bugs</h2>\ Bugs suck, and can needlessly turn folks off of an experience. The creator takes breakages very seriously. Timely first reports of bugs are much appreciated, especially where they are specific and reproducible descriptions of previously unknown problems. Make sure to be specific about what you are seeing and how you got there. Savegames are best for difficult to reproduce cases. If a problem is vaguely reported, it can take much longer to figure out the problem, and the creator will probably focus on things where there is a greater likelihood of a good outcome. If you discover a new savegame compatibility issue, be prepared to send the developer a copy of the problem save, this helps to guarantee the problem you saw actually gets fixed. <h2>New feature requests</h2>\ If you want to see a feature added or a big change, let me know how you'd like to help contribute to it's realization. <h2>What worked well</h2>\ Some fans observe the game over regular updates. Feedback about changes which worked well are helpful, especially with small gameplay enhancements/stats/mechanics which can be replicated in other experiences of the game. This sort of suggestion tends to be more tractable to act on. <h2>Q&A</h2>\ <h3><i>I love this game world, and would like to contribute to it?</i></h3>\ Awesome to hear from such folks! If you are interested to lend a bit of time to help make it better, contact the author privately on tfgames.site to discuss how you might like to help. Story writing, editing/refinement, image preparation and sci-fi genre illustration are key areas the game can really use help in near term, but not the only areas. If you have some particular skill sets or interest, and would like to lend an hour or two on some stuff, let me know. <h3><i>Shut up and take my money! Where is your Patreon?</i></h3>\ Nope, no such page or tip jar. Hopefully you can find other enjoyable or socially constructive ways to use your money. At the scale of a small project like this, money isn't a core factor limiting development of the game. Financial contributions won't change how much time I can spend crafting this. <h3><i>Where should I go for the current version?</i></h3>\ https://tfgames.site/index.php?module=viewgame&id=2387 <h1>Style Guide</h1>\ [[Style Guide]] <h1>Notes on Content Contributions</h1>\ [[Content Contribution Notes]] <<link "Back">><<script>>Engine.backward();<</script>><</link>>

<h1>Style Guide</h1> Through my experience and other sources, I've noted some conventions which I like to follow, to provide a more satisfying and predictable gameplay experience. <h2>Writing Style</h2> As a work of interactive fiction, the game is predominantly written from the 2nd person perspective of the main character. e.g. "You enter a sterile medical room..." <<link "Back">><<script>>Engine.backward();<</script>><</link>>

<h1>Version Log</h1> <<link "Back">><<script>>Engine.backward();<</script>><</link>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Versioning.summarizeVersions();>> <<link "Back">><<script>>Engine.backward();<</script>><</link>>

<h1>Content Contribution Notes</h1>\ <h2>Acknowledgements</h2>\ *GwenTFGfan - Thanks for gathering clothing images for shoe store, feedback on inventory/store modding conversations and the help in getting the hair-style-able MC avatar off the ground. *mimi69 - Thanks for collecting the chest images and help on refining+expanding the text for mc's exercises. <h2>Contributing to Clothing</h2>\ Want to see particular styles of clothing in the game? This stuff is easy to add and is the first aspect which has been altered to support extensibility. First, it's a good idea to private message YeomanR on tfgames.site with your ideas about what you are interested in contributing (e.g. new store/clothing options), to make sure it fits in with where the game is headed. Content Images can be provided as long as it follows the conventions of the game, discussed in link below. In general 5-8 images is a good starting point for a given style of clothing, but fewer is fine for particular kinds of items. [[Clothes image formatting guidance]] If you're looking at defining a bunch of clothes, you can test how they will appear by editing getContributedItems(). Refer to <a href=".\scripts\ItemGenerators\ItemGenerator.js">scripts\ItemGenerators\ItemGenerator.js</a> getContributedItems() to see how clothing items are added and testing in the game. Happy to explain details to folks, just sets of image content is fine. <h2>Contributing hair styles</h2>\ Hair styles can be added now, which the MC can use once they unlock the salon! [[Hair style image guidance]] <h2>Integration Test Areas</h2>\ [[Test Store]] [[Hair Styles Test]] <h2>Future Extension Points</h2>\ -Contribution schemes for random events/images at work and during exercises -Standalone Dialogue + Images for non-storyline sexy-time events <<link "Back">><<script>>Engine.backward();<</script>><</link>>

<b>Clothes image formatting guidance</b> File naming: lower case only. This avoids filename case-sensitivity issues for our Mac/Linux friends. Image Style norms: The clothing options are intended to be about allowing the player to customize MC as they like. A player shouldn't needlessly observe contradictions between model and their MC, or stylistic incongruities between images. 1- Background - A plain flat white background is strongly preferred, especially for clothing elements which only occupy a single slot. Ideal is clothing presented in isolation, but particularly nice clothing options set over a background may can be considered. 2- Avoid distinctive model appearances - MC doesn't look like a particular model, and not all players are playing MC to achieve same body shapes. The images are about the clothes, not the distinctive look of a model that wore them. Images should be cropped below model's nose. Avoid/Minimize: Very distinctive hairstyles, telltale features of a particular model, uncommon/heavy makeup styles, prominent nail treatments 3- Perspective - A perspective which provides a clear view of the clothing is desired without artistic flourishes. By default, a frontal view is preferred, with clothing at center. For shoes, an angled profile with heel at left and toes at right is preferred for consistency. 4- Square Image Proportions - Clothing images need to be square to properly fit in the player outfit view without being deformed when rendered. 5- Image Size - 400px*400px or 600*600 px is preferred. Larger sizes are not desirable from disk size standpoint, smaller images are problematic when a user wants to view detailed image. 6- Margins - For individual articles of clothing, margins of ~5-10% whitespace should normally be used with all sides. For items with a strong vertical component, use of top and bottom margin can reasonably be omitted. Store Inventory Norms: 1-Best is when a store has a baseline selection of elegant, representative designs in common colors which can be matched and complemented well in an outfit. Black, Silver, Red, Blue and Pink are good core colors to be able to match across categories. 2-Ideally each clothing variety has 5-9 options. More can be added for more diverse categories based on audience feedback. 3-Categories may have a handful of "exotic" or "risqué" variants for a given category for when MC is feeling more daring or would like to express more individuality. <<link "Back">><<script>>Engine.backward();<</script>><</link>>

Hair styles are rendered as overlays over a doll-head, for which new styles can be contributed. All hair styles should use image size - 400px*400px. Example <div class="hair-row">\ <div class="hair-slot"><img class="hair-base " src="images/MC-BaseImage-T.png"></div>\ +\ <div class="hair-slot"><img class="hair-overlay " src="images/hair-ear-brown-2.png"></div>\ = \ <div class="hair-slot"><img class="hair-base " src="images/MC-BaseImage-T.png"><img class="hair-overlay " src="images/hair-ear-brown-2.png"></div>\ </div> Refer to <a href=".\scripts\Hair/HairStyleGenerator.js">scripts\Hair/HairStyleGenerator.js</a> getHairStyleDefinitions() to see how hair styles items are described added. Hair Test page: [[Hair Styles Test]] You can modify this file to describe additional hair style images for contribution. Key properties: 1-hair color 2-length - one of 5 supported lengths(ear, chin, shoulder, armpit, midback). This helps the game recognize when a hair style is viable for a haircut. 3-description - a description of the hairstyle. Ideally referring to a well known name. e.g. //https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hairstyles 4-Id- a unique name for the hair style. This corresponds to the filename (with .png added), and is also used to identify the hairstyle in game settings. <<link "Back">><<script>>Engine.backward();<</script>><</link>>

Given our lack of data on the Federal Systems group, we will need to get you on site as a technical liason for MarisLink upgrades to learn more. The MarisVotes "Assisted Democracy Solutions" group has a branch office in the area, with some dated equipment. at to a new offshore complex being constructed for the use of MarisVotes :: At MarisVotes On arriving at the MarisVotes office, it's a pretty nice setup. Not so different from your team's office at the main campus. You roll in your cart full of Ansible replacements. :: Analysis Results From monitoring communications between the branch office, a few themes have emerged. 1-The Assisted Democracy group has been lobbying on behalf of Maristech in general, but with considerable emphasis on the Federal Systems groups. Considerable efforts are being invested to attract conservative politicians to the merits of Maristech's solutions for law enforcement. Maristech Intelligence Services has been getting considerable attention from lawmakers interested in improving cross-agency cooperation, as they deal with domestic terrorist threats. Similarly, the Rehabilitation Systems group has been securing new contracts from numerous districts. Its offerings of centralized treatment programs for Violent Criminals as well as for anti-social behaviors have been popular in many jurisdictions with inadequate rehabilitation capabilities as a more humane solution than traditional prisons. In addition, the group has been procuring considerable targeted social media coverage for politicians aligned to it's aforementioned projects.

Now for the shoes. They came out to be quite a pretty penny - up to now, the most you had spent on shoes was $75 for a nice pair of runners. Unlike with those, you won't be wearing socks here. The ventilation suddenly seems more fortunate, so your feet can breathe. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawItem("first-heels-front.jpg");>> You seat yourself on the bed, as you unzip them. This is happening - you slide your right foot in, and wiggle your toes inside - it's seated ok, so you zip it up. For all the horror stories, you are glad that your feet are held throughout the shoe, with no pressure points or excessive looseness. They fit surprisingly well. The left foot goes similarly. Now you start to try to stand and walk in your ensemble. You feel glad that this shoe kind of holds itself around your ankle, rather than seemingly at risk of falling off. You just need to deal with the extra 4 inches your heels now rise from the ground. You definitely feel wobbly. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction('walk-heels.jpg');>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Skills.set("heels",1)>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().MirrorUX.returntoMirror()>>

The wig is a little more complicated to apply securely than you had first expected. Fortunately for you, there was a little document in the package explaining how to use some complimentary clips with the wig to secure it to your hair. Since childhood, your hair has always been a somewhat boring mid length. You'd never experienced hair of this length before. The bobs kind of shake with your head, like it's almost a living thing. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawItem('wig.webp');>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().MirrorUX.returntoMirror()>>

You 'hook' up the gaff and slowly work your balls 'up'. After a few minutes of manipulations, you have seated everything smoothed in the gaff tightly, creating a surprisingly womanly profile. <<=SugarCube.getLib().MirrorUX.returntoMirror()>>

You'd never really given your shirts much thought, they were just clothes. This top doesn't look much different from a man's top, it's a little snug on your torso. It's made from some kind of technical materials, very soft and gentle, compared to your ratty cotton shirts. The softness is good, as the shirt follows closely the contours of your now denuded chest, where your T-shirts usually hang loosely. For a moment you close your eyes, getting accustomed to the sense of the tight shirt gliding over your torso while you breathe. Stacy wears this one a lot- it seems to be one of her favorites. You wonder if she also got these sensations when going on those long jogs of hers. It still has the faintest little bit of her beautiful scent still on it, which kind of turns you on. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawItem('tanktop.jpg');>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().MirrorUX.returntoMirror()>>

Yoga pants clearly run a good bit tighter than your usual jogging pants. The soft material feels like something else as you pull them over your smooth legs. There is a gentle pressure over every surface which is unlike your usual jeans or shorts. Like with the top, the overall shape is not so different from a men's cut, just how it really seems to cling to every surface of you. With all the sensation, your mind starts to drift to Stacy's long legs and sex... Back to the problem at hand. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.player("This is ridiculous, but if it gets me the prize behind that door, who cares!");>> Then you get a look in the mirror. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawItem('yoga-pants.webp');>> You are momentarily surprised at how they shape your ass.

You remember to check that the curtains of Stacy's room are closed. Despite the fact that there aren't any direct neighbours who could see, you can't be too careful!

The decision was unpopular with technology insiders including Clayton Darmody and the other members of the Maristech Board.

The last article was a short article from the local paper, with a close up shot of the Ridge family in front of the house.

Sue has a point. You really don't know where things go from here. It's not worth the risks. You go to the house to close up the secret room and go back to your ordinary summer job. You remove the key from the globe, smash the watch. You broke your word, and hope that the computer will leave you out of its plans from here. <<link "Back">><<script>>Engine.go(-1);<</script>><</link>> <<link "RESTART GAME">><<run Engine.restart()>><</link>>

The document seems to be rather long. After standing for a few minutes, you settle into a seat, while you idly look around at her extensive wares. She seems really interested in what you thought was a mundane order form. You notice she's biting her lip, and breathing fast at whatever that document is talking about. After a while she seems to collect herself, and get back to you. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Ok, consider yourself privileged.

Most impressive is that the wearer can orient the device while dressing to achieve their desired look, and then use a switch to lock your penis into place as you currently might with a gaff.");>> [[Act impressed]]

We can all have some fun, and then we can get you fitted up.");>> Oh no. That won't work. But maybe you can salvage this by getting your moves on with her, and just say your friend wasn't feeling well and had to cancel. It's not like some random stranger can just be expected to show up for sex, right? <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.player("Ok, so I'll take a walk and then meet you there in 15 minutes or so?");>> [[Take scenic route to Sue's place]]

Sue lives in walking distance of the store. You walk by Sue's place, which seems to be an old Victorian house. You aren't quite sure what you were expecting, but something else, maybe? <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawLocation("sue-house.jpg");>> You're 10 minutes early, so you walk around the neighborhood a bit. The area has some quirky charm, but a lot of the places are kind of outdated - it had a reputation for being a bit of an artists' quarter, with cheap rents, but it has been gentrifying with the growth of the city. You see some very contemporary looking "box" houses with massive windows alongside distinguished looking houses of a similar vintage to Baldric house here. Your mind is boggled how anyone can save up enough to buy houses so big. Your mind starts to shift back to the "cage". It's hard to believe you are really doing this. You reflect on how you feel about this situation: [[I really don't want to do this, but what choice do I have?]] [[I don't feel strongly about this.]] [[Is it wrong that I'm secretly excited?]]

Maybe you could have made other decisions that would have avoided the computer figuring this out. Considering how it seems to be paying attention to everything, maybe it was only a matter of time that it would catch on. There's no point in beating yourself up over what's happened to get you here. You do seem to be on your way to getting that gold, and you can just hire a locksmith or whatever to remove the cage, once you extract your treasure. With the money, maybe you can find a way to sweep stacy off her feet when she gets back. That said... Up to now, you were kind of just pulling a fast one on a door, but it's hard not to recognize that the sacrifices are getting more... real. You are really hoping that this there are no other big indignities to suffer after this. As you look at your watch, you realize you are running a bit late now, after making a couple extra laps around the block and losing track of the time. You make your way to Sue's house. It turns out it's a converted apartment building with 4 units. Hers is up on the top floor. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("intercom.jpg");>> [[Buzz in to meet Sue]]

It's weird - you'd sometimes felt like folks are over-attached to the notion of genitals, when there's so many other things to life. Things haven't always been super easy for you, and the use of your penis really had not made a big difference. You remember when you were growing up, other guys seemed a lot more excited about having sex with girls and proud of having dicks, where you didn't tend to have those thoughts much. You've spent a lot of time close with Stacy. She's very pretty and you like her very much as a friend, but you never really found yourself in "potential boyfriend" territory. Could it be that you just didn't feel the same kind of drive to try get into a sexual relationship with her as other guys? The door made a mistake in letting you in, but the computer seems to be giving you a big opportunity here, by making an exception to allow you to continue. You and the computer have made a fair bargain. You make your way to Sue's house. It turns out it's a converted apartment building with 4 units. Hers is up on the top floor. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("intercom.jpg");>> [[Buzz in to meet Sue]]

As you think of images of women, you'd always felt they were more graceful and pleasing to the eye. The notion of guys always having to take the initiative in dating never felt fair to you. All that time you had been spending so close with Stacy. It hasn't always been easy being so close. She's really pretty, and you like her as a friend, but you wonder if part of the reason you were spending so much time with her, was that she was living a life closer to your ideal? All those times you'd comment about how much time she spent on her appearance, and her "obsession" with clothes. Were you just parroting all the standard stuff all guys are expected to say? When other guys would give you a hard time about always playing 3rd person RPG's as a female character, your excuse was that if you are going to stare at someone's ass for 60 hours, you'd rather it be a cute girl. But maybe that wasn't the only reason. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("femshep.jpg");>> There's a part of you that has been secretly excited at how the computer has nudged you into these new experiences. However, this wasn't how you were raised - you are aroused, but there's sensations of guilt and shame about what you want. As you look at your watch, you realize you lost track of the time in your excitement and are running a bit late. You make your way to Sue's house. It turns out it's a converted apartment building with 4 units. Hers is up on the top floor. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("intercom.jpg");>> [[Buzz in to meet Sue]]

You press to ring her apartment. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Just a second!");>> You hear her shout from somewhere inside, the clicking of running in heels, and then the sound of a deadbolt, before the door opens up. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Hi Billy! Fancy seeing you here so soon!");>> She whisks you into her place. Her place isn't huge, but it has a particularly feminine touch to it. She caresses a hand over you shoulder, and hands you a generous glass of wine, and guides you to her dinner table. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawLocation("sue-diningroom.jpg");>> <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.player("This is a really nice place you have here, Sue.

But what those places are can differ, depending on who you ask.");>> <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","But I'm rambling.

It may take her a while to show up, if she can make it tonight.");>> <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Oh well, we can totally wait. We wouldn't want to start an incredible experience like this without her being there. ");>> Uh oh... Maybe you can stall for a bit and she'll give up on that. You take a big gulp of wine, and attempt to make some small talk about her decor. Sue smiles, looks at her watch and knocks off her heels, massages her feet. She stretches her leg and absentmindedly seems to run her foot over your legs, while seemingly bored with her cheek resting on the fist, and biting her lip, as she watches the window idly. [[Try to stall]]

Before you know it, you and Sue have demolished a bottle of wine, and obviously, <<print SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>> hasn't showed yet. At this point, Sue is being cordial, but she seems a little annoyed about her absence. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Well Billy, it's been a bit of a long day for me - I'm going to run a bath and get changed. When <<print SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>> is feeling ready to come out and play, we can get started.");>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Feel free to use the hallway powder room if you'd like to freshen up.");>> [[Fuck... What do I do now?]]

Hmm, your "game" isn't quite doing it yet for her. It's pretty obvious Sue won't have sex with you until <<print SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>> shows up, but you can't both be here... Unless... Maybe you can just pretend to be <<print SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>>, and have some fun, and then by the time she realizes what's up, she'll be in the mood to settle for having sex with you. That could work. It's a good thing you had your clothes and makeup on hand. [[Dress up for Sue]]

Well, no time to loose, better get this going. You start dressing up in your classic outfit. You make sure <<print SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>>'s makeup is perfect for this. You hope this will get Sues's blood running. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Clothing.wear("tank-top");>>\ <<=SugarCube.getLib().Clothing.wear("yoga-pants");>>\ <<=SugarCube.getLib().Clothing.wear("black-thong");>>\ <<=SugarCube.getLib().Clothing.wear("stacy-bra");>>\ <<=SugarCube.getLib().Clothing.wear("tennis-shoes");>>\ <<=SugarCube.getLib().Clothing.wear("first-heels");>>\ <<=SugarCube.getLib().Clothing.wear("blonde-wig");>>\ <<=SugarCube.getLib().Slot.clear("hosiery");>>\ <<=SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.toggleMakeup(true)>>\ [[Now it's time to be bold]]

You knock on Sue's door bathroom door. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("Hi Sue, it's me <<print SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>>. I heard you wanted to meet me");>> (From behind the bathroom door...) <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Just a minute, Just finishing up.");>> You hear the water stop. For taking a bath, it seems Sue wrapped up quickly, as you see her almost instantly vamp out of the bathroom in a latex outfit, which hugs every surface and screams sex. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("sue-sex1.jpg");>> <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("Wow...");>> She puts one finger under your chin and walks right in front of you. You instinctively back up to the door frame as she puts her other hand to your 'pussy', and smiles as she has you cornered. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","<<print SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>>... What a beautiful name, for such a lovely girl. So you finally were able to show up! Oh, but where did Billy go?");>> <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("Billy had to run out for something. He said not to wait up, that we girls could get acquainted and have a little fun until until he gets in.");>> <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Oh, that's too bad. Oh, but look at you dolled up, cute as a button, and the silly boy just ditches us. So did Billy get a chance to tell you what we were thinking of?");>> You nod. Wow, for just meeting "<<print SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>>", you feel she is *really* forward, and seems to act really familiar. Sue guides you to sit beside her on the bed. You take a moment to drink up the sight of her gorgeous outfit, as she stares into you eyes. You are pulled into a slow, long and sensual kiss, and both of you slowly lie back onto the back, caressing each other. From there, you notice she starts to hike up her dress and shift her panties down. Her pussy is full exposed now. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","<<print SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>>, Wearing latex turns me on, but these outfits get me so wet really quickly.");>> She puts a hand down there, and you can see the dewiness on her finger. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Oh my god, I'm just sopping buckets down there, aren't I. Since it's just us two girls, maybe you could give me a nice deep lick. Could you do that for me, <<print SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>>?");>> You nod. She then gently guides your head down to give it some oral attention. [[This is getting hot]]

Your technique is unpracticed to say the least, and Sue kind of has to coach you on the basics, as your tongue strains to go deep and fast for her. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("sue-sex2.jpg");>> You start to find a rhythm and after a few minutes, she has her first little gush. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Ooh... oh. make sure not to miss a drop there! :)");>> You smile and oblige. You're not sure how satisfying that was for her, but she seems to treat it positively. She pats your head as <<print SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>>, and goes down to face you and exchange a deep kiss. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Babygirl, thank you for that.");>> She pulls her panties back up, and guides you up onto the bed, and gets over you. She's not a particularly powerful woman, but you suddenly find that she has your arms pinned (albeit, rather willingly), as she voraciously kisses you for a few steamy minutes, with her heaving breasts over you. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Now it's your turn. Can you drop those panties for me, and I'll return the favor?");>> In the heat of the moment, saying something would ruin the moment, but there's a chance she will just go with it. You just do as she says, and remove the panties and then the gaff. Surprisingly, she doesn't seem to be deterred by your cock, but just goes down on you, all the same. It's obvious she knows her oral sex. Fairly quickly, you find yourself on the verge of an orgasm. Fortunately, she seems to see you are getting close to climax, and eases up earlier. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Do you think it's sexier when girls spit or swallow a load of cum?")>> [[Oh yeah for sure swallowing is so sexy]] [[Swallowing is gross]]

She discreetly downs the whole mouthful, lets out a quiet moan and swallows again. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Sister, you don't know what you are missing!");>> She smiles and gives you a closed mouth kiss [[Now then]]

The thought of her taking down your load like a porn star is too hot, so you give the obvious answer you'd love to see. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Mmm, girl, you're so right. I totally agree with you there. The best girls love to suck down the cum, rather than letting it go to waste, don't we? Now, where was I?");>> As she proceeds to take your entire cock like a pro, accelerating and backing off over a few minutes, before driving you to the best orgasm you've ever had with a long stream of jizz on her face and a mouthful. From all the stories you'd read of first time experiences, you feel glad that you didn't come too quick. She strokes her face to funnel the large volume of cum into her mouth. As you are recovering from the afterglow, she goes in for a passionate kiss. Before you realize what has happened her tongue has pushed a fair bit of your own hot cum into your mouth. She opens her mouth to reveal she still has plenty, then swallows gesturing a downward motion with her hand, opening to show a now empty mouth, with the cum no longer visible. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("cum-swallow.webp");>> She watches you expectantly. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Mood.compliantLink("Reluctantly Swallow")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Mood.defiantLink("Spit the cum",1)>>

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Mood.addCompliance("You feel closer to her by going with the flow on this.")>> It would be hypocritical of you to spit now. You emulate her by showing the cum on your mouth and then swallowing the still warm ooze. You cough for a moment at the weird texture, and then force a smile at the end. This is so humiliating, but at the same time, you have been really turned on with this incredible time you have been having with Sue, so it bothers you less than it otherwise might. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Girl, it was so hot how you did that- you are a natural. I remember my first few times how it felt a bit weird, but it wasn't long before I really got addicted to that sensation in my mouth now.

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Mood.addCompliance("You kind of feel like a hypocrite, but swallowing cum just isn't your speed. You spit it out.")>> Sue kind of shrugs her shoulders at that. [[Now then]]

From there your erection quickly fades away, she tilts her head and looks in your eyes. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Mmm, I hope you enjoyed that...");>> <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Now <<print SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>>. Let's get this little thing under control. ;)");>> She says while taking a hold of your soft dick. With a sly grin, Sue takes out a sleekly branded box box labelled "Chasti-flex". She puts on some gloves and starts by opening and generously slathering some gel on your penis, which just seems to cool and clean it, quickly making you completely flaccid and numb. From there, she starts sliding a series of concentric sleeve rings over it and loosely attaching them together, finally linking up a cap, and securing a base with the switch around you balls. From there she turns the lock mechanism to secure it, and you see some previously loose portions latch together. You curiously poke at it, but are a bit surprised it is still so loose. You'd have expected a bit more restraint. Then you see her pull out some kind of electronic wand over it, and you see the rings slowly tighten to form a secure fit all around, until it meets the resistance of your now trapped dick. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("...");>> <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","There. <<print SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>>, it looks like you have a nice cozy fit. Does it hurt or pinch at all when I do this?");>> She then tests to flop it around, and see if it might come loose. With it tightened up, there's no possibility of it coming loose - it looks like a girly pink version of your dick, but the rings don't bend or transmit much feeling when you press on them, you are relieved it doesn't hurt. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("No, it seems to move pretty well. I'm relieved it doesn't hurt or anything.");>> She then helps you to tuck it completely down, and shows you how to use the switch so it will hold itself it in that position. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Wow, <<print SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>> it looks so elegant and pretty like that.

I'll let your sponsor know it would be my pleasure to attend to any other aspects of your 'training' they'd like me to help with. On that note, your generous 'sponsor' will want these when you get back to them.");>> Sue smiles as she dangles a keyring with a pair of keys from the cage box. She grabs a tablet, enters a passcode, puts the keys inside inside a small drawer which appeared, which then retracts and now seems to be locked. She then hands you back the tablet. With that, you find yourself in something of a daze, and depart from her bedroom. <<=SugarCube.getLib().InventoryUX.add("chasti-flex");>>\ <<=SugarCube.getLib().Clothing.wear("chasti-flex");>>\ <<=SugarCube.getLib().Tasks.removeTask("machine-requires-cage")>>\ <<=SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.raiseClothingTolerance(2);>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.triggerSexualRelease(true);>> [[Walk back home]]

While the fact of the cage is unsettling, your experience with Sue gave you a newfound sense of confidence. You hate to admit it, but you enjoy the thrill with presenting yourself as <<print SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>>, and how it turns you on. You feel like you could go out in public as her again, without being forced to this time. You quickly proceed directly to the inner chamber, to present the tablet to the computer.

You each grab one, and hear the classic cartoony music of the racing game, as the center display panel reveals the game. After a couple rounds, Sue has been wiping the floor with you, with her expert drift racing technique. On the third round you hit her with an exploding revenge clam in the final lap, which gives you a chance to beat her for first place. She squints into your eyes, and says: <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Ooh honey, you didn't just do that. Duchess Pomegranate never loses with me behind the wheel!");>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("I think she just did!");>> At this point, the car has arrived at the mall, so you put away the controllers, and get out.

<<if SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.canWax()>> The spa technician seems very experienced, and doesn't seem to bat an eye at the bulge of your cage - they treat your skin in strips of the wax and regularly repeat.

At this stage, you are instructed to disrobe and put a towels on your midsection, to allow for your hot stone massage, before a masseuse arrives. The masseuse really works those hot stones in, melting the tension away from your muscles.

[[Go to Shuffleboard Bar]]

You and Sue drop off you stuff in the car, and then walk over to the new local bar - Commodore Vanderbilt's Shuffleboard Lounge. It's a hipster joint known for good craft beers, and of course, shuffleboard lanes. She sets you up for a 30 minute lane session, and orders a couple of beers. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("shuffleboard-lounge.png");>>\ Sue gets a good start in the first round shoving her yellow biscuit almost centered, and stopping just ahead of the 10 point zone. Your first shot of the black biscuit is a bit fast, but fortunately it gets stopped with hers, sliding it out to 8 points, allowing yours to sit in the edge of the 10 point zone. Sue grimaces. The game goes back and forth - Sue is pretty good, you're not bad either. As the two of you have your beers, your precision starts to drift off. Maybe you should have eaten something before you met up with her. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("Are you hungry? I haven't really had anything much to eat since the morning.")>> <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Oh, good point, we spent the whole afternoon at the spa, it's past time to eat something.")>> [[Sue orders some bar food]]

A few minutes later a waitress brings out your food to a table.

You jerk the hot dog provocatively, stick your tongue into your cheek, as if you're deep throating the whole thing. Sue smiles at the image, and the starts to munch on her dog. You notice some guys behind her also perked up at the sight of your gesture. You blush, and start working on yours likewise. You and sue get to chatting a bit at the table, it's a nice excuse to get off your feet for a bit, with those heels. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("...So Sue, where are you from? How did you end up here?")>> <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","I grew up in the burbs, I have a lot of family out in the region here, mostly from Scandinavia. My dad's family was Finnish, and most folks in our social circle were Lutherans. I guess I'm spiritual, but that stuff was there growing up. For me, growing up church was just this social thing where the minister would tell some stories, and then folks would get on with their day. It felt like this thing that we did, because that's what you do, but I feel like it was just this thing in the background... I guess you could say I'm more spiritual than religious, now. Sorry, I must be boring you to death...")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("No, it's cool to know more about you.")>> <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","It's kind of weird, you don't really hear as much about it, but Finns are a really proud of their traditions. Like, my family built a sauna out of birch when I was still a little girl, behind the house, which we'd use in like the middle of winter! Then afterwards, we'd have sausages, and the adults would have beers. I guess the dogs kind of reminded me of that.")>> <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Now, I hope you're not feeling too peckish... I think it's time we make our next stop.")>> [[Leave the Shuffleboard lounge]]

You walk around the block, to "The Vault", the location was an old bank, and it was renovated with an Art Deco look. It opened a couple years back as an LGBTQ+ spot, but you know that folks like Stacy sometimes went to it, along with traditional clubs, with her friends. You arrive pretty early in the night, so there was a bit of a line, but the bouncer waved you and Sue right in after checking your ID's. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("I'll get us some drinks")>> You line up, and are surprised how quickly the bartender asks for your order. You're not too experienced with the club scene, so you ask the bartender for a suggestion for a sweet drink and he gets you a couple servings of "Sex on a Beach". A peachy concoction - a little over sweet maybe, but it's on you that you weren't more specific - it's drinkable at least, and it seems like the bartender made it ultra boozy. You're not exactly sure how much they said that was. <<=SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.deductMoney(21)>>\ The theme for most of the music is retro 90s, and at times you sort of hear Sue mention how this or that song were her favorites. It's hard to make out the details of what she's saying, the music is kind of loud. You two are sort of off to the side working on your drinks and getting a sense of the scenery. [[As you finish up your drink...]]

As you finish up your drink... <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Are you done with that? Let's dance.")>> It seems like it was more a statement than a question.

You can't believe someone would do that to you, and you don't want to give them any attention. The experience has kind of soured your mood right now, so you suggest to Sue that maybe you should move on to next venue. [[Get back to Sue's Place from Vault]]

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Mood.addDefiance("You feel righteous anger as you pivot around to stand up for yourself!")>> Actually, it's a girl who is a good foot shorter than you!

You sort of loose your train of thought. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("Umm, oh. I see... well don't just go around groping people. They might not like it.")>> In all honesty, maybe you wouldn't mind if she groped you a little more in private- but it's wrong to encourage that kind of thing without people's consent. In any case, she drifts away with her friends. You and Sue dance for a couple more songs, but at this point are both feeling a bit sweaty. Sue gestures to approach her. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","This was great, but I think I got my fill. Do you want to do a few more songs, or are you about ready to go home now as well?")>> [[Get back to Sue's Place from Vault]]

You make your way out from steaminess of the club, out to the cool breeze of outside. The car summons over pretty quick, which is nice, as it allows Sue to get off her feet and take off her heels. You do likewise. For someone who runs a sex shop, you're kind of surprised at how low key she has been at the lounge and bar. But, with just you in the car, she takes hold of you and starts a slow kiss... You arrive at Sue's place. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Do you want to come in?

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Mood.addCompliance("No one needs to twist your arm. You feel happy to indulge Sue in this.")>> She guides you straight to the bedroom. That's hot. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Just sit right there.")>> She kisses you, and gently guides your hands behind your back. Click. She has handcuffed them together. You're not quite used to that, but it's kind of kinky. From there, she gets a really soft black satin blindfold, and puts it over your eyes. You're totally at her mercy at this point, but she hasn't abused your trust up to now. She whispers into your ear. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Just relax and enjoy the ride, baby. That's it.")>> You feel a collar placed around your neck, and feel the weight shift slightly as she adjusts it. On your breasts you feel a leather leash dangling down, which it seems like she has placed on the bed. [[Where does this go?]]

In the other ear, you hear her seductively whisper: <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Are you ready to fuck me? We'll do it a little different this time...")>> You feel her fingers apply gentle downward pressure on your chin to open your mouth. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Open up, honey. Take this in slowly.")>> You smell something rubbery being placed into your mouth. As your mouth shift, you get a sensation of a vein. It seems she has placed a moderate sized penis gag into your mouth. You feel a considerable weight extending from the front. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Now close.")>> You feel her tighten some straps. No doubt about it - there's likely a dildo extending from the other side of that gag. On one hand your mind realizes that doing something like this two weeks ago would have been unthinkable, but you have a weird sense of calm. It's strange, but this feels so right. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","You look incredible. Now, get on the floor, and soon you'll penetrate me with it, baby.")>> She guides you down, onto your knees. You feel some resistance as she has you slide the dildo into her. You can start to smell her musk and feel the heat of her thighs on your face. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Now, back and forth. Just like on the dance floor, you start to feel the rhythm as you rock together.")>> You both move in and out together. It's harder without visual cues, but you feel more focused on your other sensations. The sense of her smooth legs transmitted to your face through the straps of your gag. As you build up a tempo with her, you could swear you could taste something in the back of your mouth. It kind of reminds you what you tasted from the pod with the simulated sex, but also with a taste like Sue's. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("mmph... mmmm...")>> Whatever is in it, you start to lose control, and feel yourself wanting more, and sucking on the dildo and moving faster. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Yes! oh, yes!")>> Sue also becomes more erratic and you feel her body spasming. Finally she regains her composure, and gestures to your head to stop, as she dismounts herself from the dildo. She then removes the harness from your head, and guides you onto the bed. [[Your turn]]

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Mmm, you must be feeling all hot and bothered now! Lets get you on the bed and get that out of your system!")>> She leads you by the leash onto the bed, and positions you chest-down, still with your hands behind your back. You feel a lubed finger going in and out of your ass. Then a second, and a third. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("Ohh...")>> She stops, and you feel her weight on the bed shift away from you, and hear sounds of some straps. Soon enough you feel the comforting sensation of her legs back on the bed, alongside yours. Next, you feel her fondling your cage for a moment. And then a whisper into your ear. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Now, for the main event.")>> You feel her gingerly mount you with the tip of a well lubricated dildo. This one seems much bigger than what she used on you last time. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("It's so big, I don't know if I can take that...")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Let's find out. I'll take it nice and slow. Just tell me if it's too much.")>> She caresses your breasts and ever so slowly slides in and out of you to a growing depth. At first you struggle to take it in, but soon, you find yourself getting excited by the sensation. Soon enough you're bucking against Sue and trying to get her to speed up. Soon enough, you find the pressure building deep inside you, and are cumming. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("Oh Sue...")>> While she still has you mounted, she removes your handcuffs and blindfold, and sets you on your side, spooning you from behind and running her hands over you. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("This night... It's been incredible.")>> She kisses you on the shoulder. The two of you lay there for a few minutes, just enjoying the moment. Finally she takes the dildo out of you, removes a dildo harness from herself, and wipes up the sheets. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","I'm glad you enjoyed this, and I really like your new look!")>> [[Change and go home]]

You get dressed and give a final kiss, before heading out to take your car back home. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.heir("Good night, Sue...")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Have a good night, sexy!")>> Only as you get home on the drive back from Sue's, you realize that you didn't even get the cage removed this time. <<= SugarCube.getLib().MirrorUX.restoreLastOutfit()>> [[Return home| Baldric House]]

As requested, you make a quick run to the grocery store, and start looking for cheeses. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("grocery-shopping.jpg");>> Is there an old guy over there leering at you? Seriously. Why do guys have to be such pervs sometimes? Can't you just dress to look nice for yourself and browse the grocery store without getting a creeped on? You find some fancy cheese, and then make your way to the women's health section. You have no clue what makes for a good tampon, so find yourself carefully reading the label, as you don't want to get the wrong kind. Girls can wear so many cute outfits, but having a period must be kind of a drag. Finally, after looking at just about every package, You realize that the regular ones are all pretty much the same, just different brands, so you make your pick. After waiting a couple minutes at the express check-out line, you have your stuff and make way to Sue's. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("tampon-buy.jpg");>> [[Walk to Sue's]]

You knock at Sue's door, and this time Sue opens the door. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","H...");>> Before you finish a word, she puts a finger to her mouth, then pounces to pull in you in. You're not one to resist an welcome like this. Sue deftly pivots you, and has you against the inside wall, as she starts kissing you. She puts your bag on he floor, and then takes your arms by the wrists, and raises them up over your head. You feel so vulnerable and exposed like this, and yet, it feels so nice being up close to Sue again. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","I've got you <<=SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>>. Just let yourself relax in the moment and enjoy yourself tonight.")>> She walks you over to the kitchen and pops open some red wine, pouring a couple glasses, handing you one, and you clink them together, before starting to drink them. Her eyes are so hot that way she looks at you. She grabs a box of fancy crackers, and a plate, then points out a cutting board and knife. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Can you do me a favor and prep some cheese on this platter? I'll just get my room sorted out.")>> She walks off to the bedroom as you get some slices prepped up. After a couple of minutes, you have a small plate of cheese, and add some crackers. You move over to her sofa table, and take a sip of wine. After the last few days of work, taking a moment to just unwind is nice, and your mind wanders for a bit. From around the bedroom, you hear: <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","<<=SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>>, I think there's something you might like to see in the bedroom. Could you put the snacks in the fridge for now?")>> [[Walk to bedroom]]

Sue has dressed herself into a familiar outfit. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("sue-sex1.jpg");>> On the bed, you see a pair of latex stockings and a tiny dress. Sue starts undressing you, and you are now completely naked. It feels a little unsettling at how she's taking these liberties with you.

Considering her outfit, this is obviously not something she wouldn't wear herself. And of course, it's more than a little sexy, and you're not going outside to be seen by anyone else. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Mood.defiantLink("Oh, I'm just not comfortable with putting that on",1) >> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Mood.compliantLink("Wow, this is hot",2)>>

I hope you enjoy the relief.")>> Sue tries to smile again, awkwardly hugs you, and leaves you some privacy in her room. You wonder if Sue would still be interested in spending time with you, given your 'vanilla' attitude. From there, you start masturbating - it doesn't take long before you come, and you feel much relieved. <<=SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.triggerSexualRelease(true)>> After that, you get dressed again, and mention to Sue that you'll get going now. She puts the cage back on, and hugs you again to see you off. <<= SugarCube.getLib().MirrorUX.restoreLastOutfit()>> [[Return home| Baldric House]]

Since you started all this, you have become much more acquainted with experiencing your feminine side - the feeling of the leggings is really exciting, and the reflections on your legs are otherworldly. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawItemById("latex-stockings-gift-0");>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Inventory.add("latex-stockings-gift-0");>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Clothing.wear("latex-stockings-gift-0");>> Next she wastes no time getting you into the dress, and seems to really enjoy running the zipper up your torso. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawItemById("latex-dress-gift-0");>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Inventory.add("latex-dress-gift-0");>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Clothing.wear("latex-dress-gift-0");>> <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Could you model this stuff for me? I think these would look great on your lithe body.")>> You kind of shake your ass in a goofy way, and then make some stereotypical model poses with your face and hands. It makes you a little self-conscious, but you are glad Sue is entertained by you. With the clothes on you, you're starting to get excited to have sex with her. Sue however, doesn't seem ready to start quite yet. She guides you to her large bathroom. She has you sit at a chair where she has piles of cosmetics close at hand. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Your makeup is a nicely done, but lets try something a little more sultry for tonight.")>> She wipes up your face, plucks some of your eyebrows, and does your makeup using some darker and more exotic colors and shades than you'd used before. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Wow. Girl, you look something fierce. The boys would be falling over themselves to get your digits at the club. Here, get a look.")>> [[Look at Sue's handiwork]]

She stand you up to turn you to the mirror to see the results, as you had been facing her as she used your face as a canvas for her artistry. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("sue-makeup-dark.jpg");>> She's not wrong. It's hard not to get intoxicated with the visual of this scene, with two gorgeous, provocatively dressed women so close together, having fun perfecting their makeup. It just happens that are one of the participants in this scene. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Mmm, I bet you want to preen that tight little ass of yours at the club sometime... But the boys at the club are going to miss out, you're all mine tonight.")>> Her hand glides down your waist. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Now, as promised...")>> <<= SugarCube.getLib().Slot.clear("penis")>> She takes off a necklace on which she had secured your key. With a deft motion she hikes up the front of your dress, exposing your cage. She unlocks the chasti-flex, and removes the outer shell, revealing your penis. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","That is cute. Make sure you don't cum too soon. I want to savor having you inside me.")>> Being locked away for so long, you could swear it looks different, a little smaller, cute like she described. It seems like it has more of a pink tone than you remember. She is gently fondling it now, you are putty in her hands. From here, she guides you to the bed. [[Join Sue in Bed]]

Sue backs you you up to the side of the bed, and leans into you, causing you to slowly fall backward onto the bed. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Just relax and savour this moment.")>> She gets positioned close to the foot of the and starts to lick at your dick like a lollipop. From there she starts bobbing her head down on you and in a quick a minute, you find yourself coming erect, and she backs off to caress and kiss you all over. She seems to spend a good bit of time sensually on your breasts, which while modest, are more noticeable than last time she saw you. Finally she shimmies up and loses no time to straddle you, quickly taking in your dick. She feels very wet, and you feel no resistance. You know girls can sometimes be really sensitive down there, but bites her lip proudly as she take all of your penis to the hilt in without wincing or anything. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","<<=SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>>, that feels nice - when you are ready to come, lets finish you off in my mouth.")>> She clenches her tight on you but just holds at your base, and leans in to kiss you. Then, she starts shifting up and down, slowly but holding you tight. She shifts tempo, which starts to get you over the edge. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Mood.defiantLink("Come inside her",2)>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Mood.compliantLink("Warn her, and allow her to dismount")>>

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Mood.addDefiance("It feels too good to stop. You moan out:")>> <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Ohhh... That feels good.

Really good. You feel a bit of guilt at not trying harder to honor her request to take your cum in her mouth like she asked, but how could you resist? <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Mmm... <<=SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>> - Is it wrong that I want to scratch my itch just a little more? Girl, I want to really be penetrated deeply.")>> <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Umm...

She seems to sense your hesitation, and fondles your now flacid cock and smiles. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Oh, that cute thing was nice, but your staying power doesn't have to stop what comes next. You can take me like a dirty girl with this - just start softly, honey.")>> From a side table, she takes out a monumental looking dildo and a strap-on fitting which she affixes over your groin, and generously lubricates. When in Rome... [[You start to penetrate Sue with the dildo]]

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Mood.addCompliance("You moan out:")>> <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Ohhh... That feels good. I'm about to come any moment!")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.triggerSexualRelease(true)>>\ She shifts off of you and takes your dick into her mouth. You managed to hold back long enough for her, but the subtle serpentine motions of Sue's tongue are just too stimulating for you, and your burst goes straight into her mouth. From the grin on her cock-sucking face, she doesn't seem surprised. After being locked away for the last while, that felt good and relaxing. <<if hasVisited("Swallowing is gross")>>\ Sue discreetly swallows all your cum, as per her curious habit. <<else>>\ She funnels a good chunk of cum into your mouth, and passionately kisses you, while you grinding together for a few slow delerious minutes.

You can take me with this - just be gentle, honey.")>> From a side table, she takes out a monumental looking dildo and a strap-on fitting which she affixes over your groin, and generously lubricates. Sue proceeds to mount over you. [[You start to penetrate Sue with the dildo]]

This time, Sue is not so nonchalant, as you feel her weight pressing on your groin, and she slowly takes the member inside her. She starts by just working herself on the top few inches, gradually increasing her strides. Her breathing is starting to becomes more labored, as this dildo is no small thing, even for a presumably "well practiced" slut like her. Finally, she has managed to do a few cycles, and bottomed out, letting out a big gasp. She clasps your hands, and smiles. The two of you discover a rhythm and after a few minutes, she seems to completely loose her usual calm, pulling you in tight like a frenzied animal, with her the heels of her feet on the bed pressing towards her. <<if SugarCube.getLib().Slot.get("ass") != null >>\ Inadvertently you feel pressure the buttplug stirring inside you, especially as her body crashes down on the dildo. <<else>>\ You don't have the buttplug present. The thought of wearing it while fucking kind of stirs in your imagination. <</if>>\ After what feels like an eternity entwined together, she climaxes and long, deep moans, and lets out a sigh. You're not sure if she was hamming it up for you, but it seems like she may have gotten quite an orgasm there. She slowly eases herself off the dildo, and unstraps it from you, to put on a bedside table. She goes out of the room. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Whew - All that fucking has built up my appetite. I'll be right back with snacks")>> Your groin is a little sore from the force of the dildo base - you wonder how intense that must have been for here. You've had enough fun for today - [[Relax from post-coital fun]] <<if SugarCube.getLib().Slot.get("ass") != null >>\ <<=SugarCube.getLib().Mood.compliantLink("Toy with your ass",1)>> <<else>>\ Toy with your ass (Plug not present) <</if>>\

Sue returns with the snacks and has topped up the wine glasses. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","<<=SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>>, I hope you were able to release some of that tension from inside you. This was fun.")>> She hands you a glass, and you clink them. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Cheers!")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Cheers!")>> [[Wrap up to go home]]

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Mood.addCompliance("Being with Sue feels good. You don't want to end the moment.")>> You're still feeling soft, but Sue's huge orgasm with the dildo is lurking in your mind. Before you realize it, you're on your side, absent mindedly toying with the butt plug to for some sensation back there, craving an orgasm like she had. At that moment, Sue returns with a tray of newly topped up wine glasses, and the chilled cheese plate you prepared earlier. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Oh <<=SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>>, what kind of host am I? I didn't realize that's what you were hungry for!")>> She gets in alongside you to start kissing you. She withdraws your plug, and begins fingering you with one, and then a second digit. At this point, you're lost in the moment and Sue stops to get something from her side table. It's a small, shorter dildo and strap. She sets up a couple of pillows to your side, and shifts you to be face down on top of them, before rigging the dildo to her groin and adding some lube to it. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Just hold still while I start - I'll be gentle, baby.")>> She uses one and then a second lubed fingers which she slides into you. This isn't the first time your hole has been tested, and Sue has a very soft, playful touch - she seems to enjoy taking it slow and teasing you. You start to get bored and slide your ass against her fingers. With that, she withdraws her fingers, and traces some lines on the surface of your ass, before homing the first inch of the dildo into your tender hole. This is a little smaller than the one you have at home, but you're still putting trust in her not to overdo it, and hoping this isn't a big mistake. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Slot.clear("ass")>> [[Sue starts to fuck you in the ass]]

You are being penetrated by Sue - unlike your masturbation sessions with a dildo, there is a feeling of uncertainty of what happens next. She seems to use a bit more variety with pacing and spiral motions, as you find your insides warming up. You feel yourself sandwiched between the pillows underneath you, and the sensation of her breasts running down your back, and she seems to slow down. <<=SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.triggerSexualRelease(false)>>\ Suddenly you hear a voice outside of you... <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Don't stop yet! I want all of it inside me!")>> What just happened? You feel shame that you somehow vocalized the thought - you don't know where that outburst came from, but you do want more. Sure enough, Sue is happy to oblige. She takes a firm hold of you at the hips and starts to give you deliberate, deep thrusts which shake you to your core. With the landing of each stroke, you feel yourself shuddering. Out of animalistic excitement you slam your ass into Sue. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","I'm coming!")>> Sue gives you a last thrust, and stops as you start spasming. Sue shifts your spooned bodies onto the left side, with the dildo still deep inside, as she runs her hand over your back. You look at the pillow - it has a couple lines of cum going up to her sheet. It seems your dick still had a little more in the tank than you thought. Sue caresses your back, and pulls out from you, leaving you feeling a little empty. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Damn girl! You took that like a good little slut, <<=SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>>. I love anal, but it took me a lot of practice to get comfortable with a shaft inside me like that. It seems like your body is a natural for it. Don't worry about the mess, I'll swap the sheets.")>> Sue blots out the cum from your chest, the surfaces and the dildo with some cleaning pads. She then hands you a wine glass. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","<<=SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>>, I hope this helped you let off some tension. To new pleasures!")>> <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","It has, thank you. To new pleasures!")>> You clink the wine glasses together. [[Wrap up to go home]]

After the heat of passion, you and Sue relax for a post-coital moment and regain your composure. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Oh, before I forget - it's time to get you nice and cozy again.")>> Sue gets the cage from the side table and brings it over your now very flaccid dick. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","Oh, how sloppy of me, I must have mis-sized the cage when I installed it - it's obviously too loose for you. I'll fix that right up.")>> <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","I'm not sure that...")>> She secures the cage to the base and locks it. She shifts it around to test, and you feel it loosely flopping inside. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","We need to be careful, that looseness could cause painful blistering or infection, you simply wouldn't want that.")>> You seem to remember the cage being snug before - you're really not super keen on the cage being even smaller, but before you can get the words together, the cage material is already shrinking down as Sue applies the wand around it, making it into a tight glove-like sleeve around your now dainty penis. On one hand you feel excitement that your silhoutte is becoming even more elegant, but you then start to wonder about if your penis will go able to back to normal after all this is over. Is that even something you want anymore? <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("sue","That latex makes you look like one bitchin slut. I want you to enjoy that as a gift.")>> You feel yourself blushing a little at that statement. From her, its most likely a compliment. <<= SugarCube.getLib().MirrorUX.restoreLastOutfit()>> [[Return home| Baldric House]]

You are at a small commercial strip with a variety of shops for folks in the neighborhood. Nothing fancy, but it's a short walk - it reminds you of the typical older strip malls in your home town.

He gives you an insider referral with a VP friend of his, which lands you a solid job in the financial controller's department for a company producing industrial lubricants.

With all the openings, you can imagine a girl's feet would look pretty sexy with these wrapped around them.

You decide its too late, there's no turning back. [[A little further]]

Your car drops you off in the front guest parking loop of the "Employee Services Building" and moves on to park itself. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction('employee-services-building.jpg');>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.setHasWorked()>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Tasks.removeTask("start-internship-today");>> You greet a receptionist at the front, and present an identifier code on your watch, which he scans to confirm your presence. He points for you to stand in front of a matte surface, and takes a headshot of you with a webcam. In moments he hands you a lime green bordered badge with your name, picture, "Intern" in large text with a number, and of course, the Maristech Logo. You are directed to go down the hall to intern training at the "Cahokia Room". Out front you see a nice spread of complimentary breakfast foods. There's some pretty hearty options, but you don't have too much of an appetite with all the excitement. You quickly grab a roll from a basket labelled "pain au lait", some strawberries, pour some coffee and hustle your way into the hall. [[Entering Cahokia Room]]

As you enter, you see it's a large, dimly lit multipurpose room with a rows of chairs, and a raised platform out front with a temporary podium. You take a seat in an empty cluster. On the seat is an artisanal leather bound notepad with a pen and the Maristech logo. Did someone leave it? You look around, and see a bunch of other seats also have them - looks like they are complimentary swag. Nice! You open it up, and see a label and test the pen, as you may need to take some notes with all this. A couple seats to the left of you is a cute redhead with glasses on one side, and well attired Latino dude a seat over to your right. You make awkward smiles with folks who make eye contact but you don't have much to say, everyone around you similarly pretty quiet and shy. You kind of fidget with your pen and look around the room. After some waiting, the training coordinator makes a bit of tacky pep warm up, with some bad jokes about having to get up so early. From there, they start playing a video about the company. It's a slick, high energy video with upbeat dance music - there's cuts of various interviews from prior interns telling their personal anecdotes of overcoming past adversities and about how meaningful the intern experiences were, and ultimately converges on how excited the were to be involved with changing the world at such a cool company. By the way, all the presenters seem to be super-excited about everything! Are these people for real? You're not sure. After about 30 minutes the video wraps up and the coordinator comments on how inspiring those stories were, and how excited they are to see what you all do on your internships... [[Introduction to Maristech for Interns]]

From there, the actual onboarding and orientation stuff gets into gear. The first couple sessions got into the history of Maristech, the usual story of Marissa and some dude who came up with a better rat trap in the their garage with some initial logistics robots. It also had various memorable moments of the company. The history part was slightly amusing as you at least got to see embarrassing photos of employees, execs and some famous people indulging in the goofiest clothing fads of the last couple of decades. The next part of the session introduces the different groups of the company. Most of that part was semi-familiar from when you looked through the org overview pages earlier, and you sort of zone out on the alphabet soup of names here. You vaguely remember how you thought dressing up like a girl for a few minutes would be the hard part of getting the inheritance. 😐 By this point your stomach is kind of gurgling, and you brave the mob of other hungry interns stampeding to get a catered box lunch from a pile. You choose: [[Tuscan Chicken Salad|Intern Day 1 Lunch]] [[Reuben Sandwich|Intern Day 1 Lunch]] [[Tuna Salad Sandwich|Intern Day 1 Lunch]] [[Vegetarian Roll|Intern Day 1 Lunch]]

The lunch box is ok. You eat about half the food - there's also a soft cookie and a bag of chips inside. You slowly tear off and munch on bits of the cookie, while listening to some of the conversations of some other interns. As they introduce themselves, so many of them all seem to drop humblebrag stories of super-advanced projects with incomprehensible technologies and student leadership type stuff at their posh Ivy League schools. It's a little intimidating. Do you really belong here? Left with your thoughts, you have a sinking feeling of being a big fake, way, way, way outside your element. [[Onboarding begins]]

After lunch, a bunch of HR and IT folks roll in with carts full of fancy looking backpacks. Each HR rep deals with interns by last name, you get yours. After everyone is settled back to their seats, a presenter walks you through what you were issued in the intern SWAG-bags. An ultra-comfy Maristech branded hoodie made by that luxury streetware company - you aren't the sort of person to pay three hundred bucks for a hoodie, but you wouldn't turn away a free one. A sturdy metallic water bottle labelled "MarisTech Intern 2023". A soft-cover biography of Marissa's life. A bag full bunch of "fun" branded stickers about the company to put somewhere. And your pre-imaged high end work laptop. At this point the HR Rep hands things over to an IT person, who asks the cohort to power your devices up. You suddenly here a chorus of "bwahhh's" from the cluster of newly awakened computers. The presenter (and a bunch of the "tech deputies" walking around to help people who get stuck) walks you and the rest of the crowd through a bunch of stuff. How to access the corporate network and Wi-Fi, how to get software, policies about what you can (and can't) do with these laptops and how to get help from IT. You see your work email box already has some messages from IT and a "welcome aboard" message from your manager mentioning they look forward to meeting you tomorrow after training. Whew... Time for a break. You need to go to the bathroom. You grab your stuff and go... [[to the men's room]] [[to the ladies room]]

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction('maristech-men-bathroom.jpg');>> A couple guys kind of smile on seeing you entering the bathroom and chuckle at the situation. One older guy mentions that you may prefer to use the ladies room, which is just around the corner to the right. Old habits die hard, but being there reminds you the men's room really isn't a place for you anymore. [[to the ladies room]]

Looks like you're not the only one who had to go, there's a line of a couple girls outside the bathroom... Fortunately, the line moves pretty quick, and finally you're inside. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction('maristech-women-bathroom.jpg');>> You go to the toilet, wash up and smartly freshen up your makeup. You've gone through the motions so much, it's all such a far cry from when you went through the basement door that first time. [[Done with the IT Session]]

A quick intermission for 15 minutes. Background from security department: Make sure everyone badges in for themselves... Steps to follow if a terrorist calls your office phone with a bomb threat, or if there's a tornado during a full moon... Legal team: Don't ever leave company data or devices unsecured, including to employees who don't have a business need... Privacy of customers is paramount... Badly acted "case study" morality play training videos with "employees" expressing regrets and they wishing that they could have been more careful and always followed company policies. Anti-corruption stuff... Don't bribe government officials as a representative of MarisTech... (They realize you're all just interns, right?) HR then talks your cohort through the company's diverse workplace culture/policies... Strict attitudes towards sexual harassment, which they go to pains to mention isn't always men to women, but can manifest itself with behaviors by anyone to anyone. They explain the reporting process for HR policy violations and non-retaliation protections for whistleblowers. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction('harassment-training.jpg');>> More video case studies, and then... [[Payroll and Benefits]]

Next up is Payroll and benefits... Wow - you'll essentially start getting $32/hr for your work as an intern and a bunch of the same perks full timers get. You start thinking about the toys and outfits you can start buying with this steady cash. With some help from the payroll representatives, they get your direct deposit set up with your bank account. For such an advanced company, you would have thought their payroll system would be less... clunky. After hours and hours of this stuff, you feel your brain going a bit numb with all the details. Finally, the first day's training session winds down, and your manager, Seok Eun flags you down. [[Meet your manager]]

The lube is a bit goopy, but you definitely feel it is easier to get your leg down. As you've got one leg up a good bit, you start on the other in the same way.

As she gets near your armpits, she starts working the sleeves up your arms. You feel your heart race as her chest brushes up against yours. Next she starts pulling the two halves of the back of the suit together, and slowly pulling up the zipper partway. A little more adjustments and you can feel the neck starting to seat properly. You find yourself starting to zone out with the sensations. Then, you feel your boobs press in as she holds your hair back with one hand, pulls up the zipper, and closes it up to the neck. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak( "clubLeader","There!

Mariella follows you and watches you from a shallow section of water. DOOT! Back to the beach! DOOT! You repeat this a few times... After your heart rate is totally maxed out on this,you finally hear the whistle again. You make your way back on to the beach, and she has you try take off your wetsuit.

The computer has set everything up for this "interview" including a svelte black dress, earrings and heels. No bra. It briefs you on what you need to do, and how you will need to act.

He magnanimously insists on closing out the check for the interview (which you know he's going to expense to the company) and walks you out of the restaraunt. His guard joins him.

You arrive at the floor, and are walked into his suite. You pass a guard at the door - he insists on checking your purse. The guy from the restaraunt joins him there. You walk in, he locks the door. He lands himself onto the couch. He gets and uncorks another bottle of wine from his minibar, and pours a couple glasses. He hands you one then sits down.

He gets curious about what sorts of "crazy fun" you get up to with your girlfriends. At this point, his face is about a foot and a half away from yours, he has one hand sitting on your thigh - it is at the edge of the slit in your dress. He doesn't seem to be retaining too much about what you're saying, he just seems to be using excuses to compliment you and getting you to say "yes" to progressively more intimate propositions. [[Watch as he continues caressing your leg]] [[Skip the bullshit - Pull his zipper down|Pull his zipper down]]

You sit there demurely, as this creep is now starting to slide his hand up your dress.

I think so.")>> His hand is now in the middle of your silky thighs, caressing them as he looks on you smugly. Any closer and he'll be touching your genitals. His face seems to express mock annoyance: <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("auto-director","Oh honey, I'm not looking for 'I think so.' I know a sexy girl like you can do better than than 'I think so'... Where's your Maristech spirit?")>> He seems to be waiting for your response. Respond and [[let him discover what is under that dress]]

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","You know what- Yeah! I have what it takes to come out on top at Maristech.")>> You feel him moving his hand in for the "kill". <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("auto-director","Oh, so there is some spu...")>> You feel his hand bump your <<if (SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.hasGirlyGenitals())>>chastity belt<<else>>chastity cage<</if>> - he seems thrown for a loop at your lack of an aroused reaction and confusion at not reaching soft folds he was expecting. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("auto-director","wait, what?")>> You demurely laugh and get a small delight that he isn't controlling the situation for once. Now, it's time to take the initiative with this predator. [[Pull his zipper down]]

You unzip his zipper... He seems distracted at your sudden directness, rather than acting on other observations - his interest is piqued as to where you are taking this. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("auto-director","Oh, we're starting with that? Alright, now we're talking...")>> You pull down his underwear, and get to business, kissing the head of his fully aroused cock. You slowly work your mouth down. You aren't too practiced at it so you take it slow. He has a hand on caressing the middle of your back, where your dress ends, but at least there isn't pressure from it. You start moving your mouth and tongue around a little. You bring in a hand to give his rod some attention, and start to develop a slow rhythm. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("auto-director","Yeah honey. Work that little slut mouth of yours. Just like that. Oh you love taking my cock, don't you?")>> What an asshole... [[F this guy]]

Purple Pengin! Suddenly, your mouth becomes flooded with the nanite-lubricant fluid, and your tongue and mouth becomes a soft, fleshy vibrator. Oh fuck! The butt plug sprang to life as well! <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("auto-director","Holy shit... You... have one magical mouth.")>> How long did the computer say you would need to marinate his dick in the nanites for? Unsure, you decide you had better keep going and overdo it, to make sure he gets a suitable dose. With all the stimulation, the more you keep going, the more you experience a sensation of tunnel vision. You start to lose yourself as your mouth is rythmically filled and you savor that incredible lubricant being massaged around. Meanwhile your new anal intruder is making its presence felt deep inside you. The arousal is so strong, you can't help but start touching yourself and moaning in deep passion. Ingram gets quickly stimulated as you feel his dick throb in your mouth. As the cum explodes into your mouth, you slow your pace, and regain your senses, the dildo tapers off and you lift your head up. He is spent, his head is tilted up and his arms are resting on the couch. You didn't get to reach a climax. You are still super horny and aroused, but you realize you have work to do, and time isn't on your side. You don't see a sensible spot to spit, you reason to yourself... It embarrasses you to do so, but you swallow every last drop in your mouth so you can get on with things. Then you run your tongue around your mouth to collect as much as you can and swallow that. It's not about the cum - the lubricant fluid was just too delicious, you rationalize. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("auto-director","Oh god that was.. incredible. How did you.. woah...")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("auto-director","I think I'm going to need a minute. That was... Help yourself to a drink or feel free to watch some tv, if you'd like.")>> He's speaking more slowly, he seems a little distracted. Hopefully the nanites are doing their thing. You get up. The computer mentioned he had some important documents on a USB key. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("auto-director","When some one says... they're going to blow your mind... They usually mean... figuratively...")>> You walk around. You feel a notification vibration on your watch. This isn't a good time to check the message. [[Check his desk]]

From down the hall you hear mumblings. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("auto-director","No... Really I'm not... a... bad guy...")>> You reach the desk <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction('hotel-desk.jpg')>> He's got a briefcase. It's unlocked. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("auto-director","...just some mistakes...")>> [[Check the briefcase]]

Inside is a laptop... Power supply cable and mouse... Fancy Pens... A couple chocolate protein bars... Gold wedding band... A stack of unsigned paper legal documents about an offer of employment detailing out a lucrative compensation package... USB Key! <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction('usb-key.jpg')>> You palm the key. Now to get this past his guards... [[Go to the bathroom]]

You turn on the light and fan, then lock the door. You kick off your heels, and slowly tease out the buttplug. After a long evening with that inside you. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawItem('med-butt-plug.jpg')>> It feels nice to let your feet and ass relax for a moment... You feel a shiver as cold air makes it's way in before your tissue closes itself up. Next, you unscrew the plug and secure the key inside. You go to the toilet while you have a moment and freshen up. You're not safe while you are here. It's time to get moving. You slide the plug back in, and you try to ignore the arousal as the horniness comes back with full force. To think you were starting to get really turned on there, but then he came before the girl... Typical! But, your satisfaction will have to wait. You check yourself in the mirror. You wipe up some beads of sweat, but your makeup has held up pretty well. You touch up your lipstick and mascara, wash up and make your way out. [[Leave the suite]]

As you are walking down the hall, Ingram seems to have regained his senses. He's got a glass of water and rubbing his head. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("auto-director","I... umm... Thinking about it, I may have behaved inappropriately... tonight... and... ")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Oh, I see.")>> You notice he is rubbing his thumb on a pale segment of his finger. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("auto-director","No, it's not your fault... I mean. You were... are incredible... That was... transcendent... Like, I suddenly felt myself... flooded with these thoughts of seeing... of experiencing... how I have... how I am... interacting with people... with... you... from their perspective. It's a lot to process.")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","oh")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("auto-director","Yeah... Don't worry, I'll put in a good word... for you, but... I think I'm going to need to take a break from things. On consideration... it probably wouldn't be appropriate... for me to be the one supervising your internship.")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","I see... Maybe I should get going?")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("auto-director","Yeah, maybe that's best... I need to think about some things. Do you want one of the guys to get you a cab?")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","I'll take my car... uhh... thanks.")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("auto-director","Again... I'm really sorry.")>> [[You head out the door]]

The guards see their patron inside who nods at them. They check your clutch purse one last time on your way out. They politely say good evening to you. You walk towards the elevator, fearful that he will discover you have the usb key and have you detained. You press the button. Was he honest about all that stuff? As you go down the elevator, you find yourself wondering about all of this... Can things ever be made right for all those other girls? [[You get in your car]]

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Car... just take me home.")>> You get your feet off your heels, grab a water bottle and start drinking from it. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction('drive-home.webp')>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("computer","Has the matter been resolved?")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Yes. Ingram was treated with the nanites, and I recovered the data. They didn't give me any trouble.")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("computer","Thank you for doing this, <<=SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>>. It may be difficult to appreciate how vital this intervention was, but please understand it was necessary.")>> You nod. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","It's been a long night, I'm beat. I just want to rest and feel safe. I'm sorry, but don't know if I can care about that right now...")>> You wipe a couple tears that were forming. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","When I get home, could I just cuddle with S3 tonight in the pod? I don't want to be alone with these thoughts right now.")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("computer","She will be waiting for you.")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Tasks.removeTask("deal-with-problem-exec")>> [[You get home]]

Inside she spoons you, holding you close. The computer doesn't ask you any more questions or say anything more. <<=SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.fallAsleep()>>\ [[Wake up to a new day in the pod]]

You quickly are able to find a specialist who helps you navigate the mental and physical aspects of a transition. The last few months have been... disturbing. Looking back, it's so obviously clear that you were manipulated and tricked by the computer. Sure, it always seemed to act nice, but if you let it have its way with you, who is to say that it wouldn't have turned you into some kind of sex slave or something? Occasionally a doubt springs to mind, but the more you think about it, you realize that you weren't interested in that stuff, it was all just ideas being incepted into your head, which you wouldn't have otherwise arrived at.

You are Billy, a young guy who caught a lucky break, to get paid for some light work as a housekeeper at a palatial townhome. You were going to head back home off school for the summer, but this opportunity came up. The Ridge family wants you to watch over the family home, while they go on a grand family sightseeing trip in Europe.

This job might be a little boring, but it will have paid off when the Ridge family returns from their trip at the end of Summer, as you're getting paid $10/hr for what is described as 20 hours a week of light work, and following instructions from an email you got earlier.

From 1999 to 2008, the country had observed a seemingly unstoppable dot-com boom which had severely devastated many local businesses and traditional lifestyles throughout the country. From the anger of growing numbers of unemployed, the "[[Homeland Values|Homeland Values Movement]]" protest movement emerged as an increasingly disruptive force, and congress was forced into passing the controversial Butler-Hancock Act as a lesser evil. The act introduced a 100% tax on business-to-consumer transactions not conducted in a retail establishment. Furthermore, it introduced a 1600% tax on the value of business-to-consumer transactions where a party to the transaction is not human. The last part of the act introduced the "Department of Humanity", to aggressively investigate and prosecute contraventions. Some felt that the act was a draconian restriction on civil liberties, and froze innovation, while others felt the law was incomplete, and didn't go nearly far enough to protect jobs and traditional lifestyles. From that point, the pace of consumer facing technology innovations stagnated, with many technology entrepreneurs shifting to more lucrative alternatives like fidget spinners, but "Main Street" saw a healthy a renewal in the aftermath. <<link "Back">><<script>>Engine.backward();<</script>><</link>>

A loose assemblage of civic and religious groups who share a consensus that society is changing too quickly, with capitalism transforming our world in ways which we cannot fully understand. While their members are not anti-technology per se, their official stance is a preference to allow changes after they have been proven to be completely safe and non-disruptive to society. This organization maintains strong discipline among its members and exercises its influence through its political action committees. The movement has been quite effective at organizing protests of the "quiet majority", and in drumming up votes at all levels of government. Approximately 43% of members of the house of congress have campaigned on a platform of being "well aligned" with the principles of the Homeland Values movement, which coalesced into the "Homeland Caucus", currently led by representative Kyndall Pearson. Quote from Representative Pearson during house debate on extending provisions of the [[Butler-Hancock Act]]. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("pearson",`So, I ask - is it so hard to understand?

The coalition of sovereign mankind is a more extreme branch of the [[Homeland Values Movement]]. Members of this group believe that the planet has been corrupted, and that democratic and scientific organizations are inevitably subverted to implement the will of their corporate masters. According to their leaders, the solution is a restoration of time tested social structures which can allow the people's common wisdom to be honored. The coalition has been establishing a growing number of "Free Settlements", eschewing traditional government services. Politically, this group feels the country should pursue a more isolationist direction, with libertarian ideals of small government, an absence of taxation and minimal regulation, in favor of self-sufficiency and community driven social structures. Although the coalition has no central executive, Justus Chapman is a prominent leader within in the established Vermont Freehold, and is a major advocate for the organization in the public press. Excerpt from "A more perfect way of living": <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("chapman",` ... If those meddlers, those takers, those ninnies and those scalawags could just get off our backs, we can create that shining beacon of liberty once and for all. Just think what you could do, if the fruits of your labor were all yours! ... The founding fathers believed that we should all be able to practice government that made sense for ourselves, without some central tyrant and his tax collectors watching over all of us.`)>> Some critics have pointed out that most known members of [[The Red Hands]] had spent some amount of time at the Free Settlements. <<link "Back">><<script>>Engine.backward();<</script>><</link>>

Fanatically inspired by Damian Krughoff's 782 page treatise and rallying cry: "The Moral Imperative for Immediate Action", the Red Hands are an extremist network targeting organizations they describe to be "Enemies of Human Values" (commonly abbreviated as EHV's). Followers of this group have claimed responsibility for 14 distinct attacks within the last two years. Targets have included family planning clinics, controversial sites of major technology companies and congregation sites of religious minorities. Experts have been noting a growing sophistication with more recent attacks. The name of "Red Hands" is an acknowledgement by these members that their actions violate the morals of their creeds and the laws of the land, to confront what they consider a far greater evil. Time at free settlements of [[The Coalition]] has been noted to be a common pattern the few surviving members and suspects who have faced criminal prosecution. It is worth noting that many attacks by the Red Hands involved suicide bombings. Coalition leaders members decry the actions of the Red Hands as lone criminals and deny any involvement or support. Excerpt from "The Moral Imperative for Immediate Action": <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("krughoff",`...The laws of nature cannot be ignored out of sentimentality. Democracy is a failed system. The body politic is, and always shall be, weak and forgetful in times of trial. It is the obligation of the wise and prudent to provide clear direction without doubt. For the young and energetic, to act without hesitation. These are our sacrifices. These are our burdens as men of conscience. Cultures which honor this tradition have always thrived with vigor. For those who allow the weak and foolish to rule over the strong and wise, decadence and decay is inevitable.

The movie ends eventually and you look at the clock - it's a little past midnight already. Usually at this hour you are already tucked in bed, but the last day's events have you way too excited to sleep. You found a secret door in this house! And a quest that could lead to a huge treasure. A short lookup shows that the gold alone is worth today around 3 million dollars! Oh, and the things you could do with all that cash... [[The possibilities]]

Your mind starts to go to the gutter and you reach down inside your pants. Your cock seems to already be hard. You take the remote control and somehow luck out to find a channel with some late night sexy times. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction('lesbian-porn.jpg');>> Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, you reach down to remove your pants and trousers all the way. As you raise your hips a little your hand slips between the cushions of the sofa and you feel something very soft in there, like a piece of cloth or something like that. You grab it and pull it out. [[A black thong|Theater: A black thong]]

You examine the object only to discover that it is a women's underwear - and an extremely revealing one for sure. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.player("Wow, how could I have missed it while cleaning?");>> <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.player("I wonder whose thong this is anyway" );>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawItem('black-thong.jpg');>> Mrs. Ridge is a fit, attractive woman, but the size of the thong still seems small even for her hips.

The loud moans of the chicks on the video is still filling the air and your cock is on the edge of bursting. You turn the thong inside out - they look used and a little dirty... Then it hits you. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.player("What if this really is Stacy's underwear?");>> The thought is just too hot. [[Theater - Smell Item]]

You bring the thong up to your nose. The smell has a certain muskiness to it. You close your eyes, and lick them, imagining your tongue probing deep into Stacy's pussy as she's pushing herself on you. Finally you decide to wrap the thong around your shaft and begin jerking with it. With just a couple of strokes, you erupt with a powerful orgasm, screaming from pleasure. A gush of cum, totally drenching the fine silk fiber of the underwear, until the white semen begins dripping down your palm. Your vision fades out as [[you pass out on the couch]]

A year has passed since you recovered the treasure, and life could not be better. You dropped out of school and invested the cash in the stock market. Since then, you've been having a lot of crazy hookups with perfect women. You are driving fast in a Lamborghini, on a steamy evening in a tropic city. You stop by to pick up a hot girl. "<<=SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getName()>>, you are such an exciting date!" - the girl smiles as she enters the car.

It's time to install the main ansible... You review the instructions on your watch. Need to go up to the hold and bring the ansible equipment down to the communications room. [[Station Main Hold]]

You get the cart with all the ansible parts. You are shocked at how bulky and heavy all this stuff is... You take the elevator down to the advanced comms room. You get prompted for credentials, and swipe your personal ID badge, which is accepted for your servicing work. After you enter, the room closes itself off. You review the instructions on your watch. There's a tablet in Hardcase A, which is one of the smaller ones. After unlocking it, you open and find inside, you see some simple hand tools and the tablet. You start looking at the instructions: <div class="letter">PROCESS OUTLINE: DAY 1 1-Installation of upgraded Ansible Housing 2-New Ansible Transceiver Installation 3-Ansible Test procedure 4-Activation of Ansible Duplexing Mode 5-Backup Data Extraction from Temporal Ansible with MSFS DAY 2 6-Remote Disconnect of Legacy Systems DAY 3 7-Final validation of upgraded systems 8-Shutdown of Legacy Ansible & disablement of duplexing mode 9-Removal & Disposal of Legacy Ansible</div> You flip through. It's a highly prescriptive twelve page series of simple instructions in a few major phases, which you flip through. According to the docs, each stage can safely be paused indefinitely as neccessary. None of them look particularly tricky... Just a lot of details with boring IT-speak. [[You proceed with the physical installation steps]]

You go through the Installation of upgraded ansible housing. The parts all seem to be machined to a ridiculous level of precision, such that although there is a bunch of steps, the parts are all neatly packaged, and things go exactly as expected. From what you'd heard from one of your cousins who had been apprenticing as a carpenter, that's not exactly how this stuff normally works. 30 minutes later, and you've already finished parts 1 & 2. The ansible transceiver chip is physically installed in its housing already! <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction('ansible-chip.jpg');>> Diagnostics... successful! At this pace, you'll be done before lunch! [[Move on to part 3]]

Part 3 - Ansible Test procedure... This part has you running a series of automated tests with the new ansible to communicate with Maristech. The device passes with flying colors! Part 4 - Activation of Ansible Duplexing Mode For this part, you reconfigure the ansibles to allow the use of both the old and new remote ansibles to communicate with the station, so you and Margaret can remove the old ansibles tomorrow. [[Move on to part 5]]

Part 5 - Backup data extraction... <div class="letter">-Unlock and carefully remove the MFMS from Hardcase C, unfold MFMS. Allow MFMS to sit for 20 minutes at ambient atmospheric pressure and temperature -Inspect MFMS for debris or damage.If any defects are observed, refuse delivery and contact manufacturer for support, do not proceed with installation. -Follow MFMS quick start guide</div> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","huh... So, what is an MFMS?")>> Must be some kind of fancy mechanical widget...Time to find Hardcase C. [[Find the MFMS]]

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Fuck... Whatever this MFMS is, it weighs a ton...")>> Of course, It's the biggest case of the set, like 4 feet long, 2 feet wide and a foot and a half tall. You carefully open it, and see the shiny device with a couple documents covering it, titled: <div class="letter">MARISTECH FARADAY MERMAID SUIT Mk2 prototype (MFMS) - QUICK START GUIDE </div> <div class="letter">MARISTECH FARADAY MERMAID SUIT Mk2 prototype(MFMS) - REFERENCE MANUAL </div> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Whaat...")>> You chuck the massive manual to the side, and start flipping through the quick start guide. Perhaps dealing with Marissa and the computer, something like this shouldn't have been a surprise. Apparently the mermaid suit allows the wearer to covertly swim at deeper "intermediate" depths and longer durations than conventional SCUBA systems, without the tell-tale detectability of traditional ocean-going submersibles thanks to its compact size and a "sonar disrupting nanotube coating". You double check your watch for the details. So, it turns out, the temporal ansible was never actually on this station, and isn't documented or known to anyone on the station, to avoid discovery. It's actually a couple miles away, and you'll need to wear this MFMS to swim there and back. But, this thing... it... doesn't seem like something built to "mil-spec" or government spec... It's not like the obligatory utilitarian equipment which seems to be everywhere down here, either. It's like a scaly blue-pearlescent surface. It just looks more like a living thing, or an insanely expensive and very well made work of art, rather than a piece of equipment. You wonder what else might be custom about it. You unfold it out from the case... It feels life if a mermaid's body had collapsed in on itself... and mermaids were real . The skin... Her skin... it's so smooth - when you touch it, your hand seems to slide right down the surface with no friction at all. It has one large, powerful looking tail, which you unfold. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","That's crazy...")>> Per the instructions, you flatten out the suit, inspect it for damage, and let it rest while you flip through the next steps. DONNING SUIT... <div class="letter">Extract information retention and support capsule from hardcase B. Tap identification card on base. Apply liberal quantities of installation lubricant to lateral surfaces and have device operator install...</div> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","capsule... Capsule... Where are you?")>> [[You find the capsule]]

You open the case. And laugh at the contents. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Why does this thing look like a massive butt plug... Marissa, you had a one track mind...")>> The cylindrical "capsule" has some kind of electronic connector at the base. You tap it to your card, and it makes some sort of "happy chime" tune after you do so. For the next step... There's no one you can argue with down here... Also, you're not sure how long all this is going to take, so you strip down, slather the 'capsule' with the provided lube, and slowly work the mass of it deep inside you. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","phhhuhhuhuk...")>> You have to stop a couple times,as it's a little too intense, but finally, it is seated inside you. Your breathing calms enough for you to look at the next steps. ... [[OPENING SUIT]]

...OPENING SUIT <div class="letter">While the suit is in the empty and dormant state, press the activation ring near the center of the suit to initiate opening...</div> A helpful diagram shows the activation ring to be a circular nub where you'd expect her genitals to be. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Here goes.")>> With a bit of trepidation, you push the button. A dot of yellow light appears where you pressed. It is so subtle, the glow is more like a firefly than a light. The glow slowly spirals around where you pressed with a subtle pulsing of brightness. After about 30 seconds, the light stops spinning, the ring glows a dim green color. The back of the suit splits open, peeling down the middle, to "her" ass. The back of the silvery head flips backwards. <div class="letter">Orient the suit "face-down" Activate the MFMS support cart Attach the support cart harness clips to the retention rings Connect suit to support device on cart</div> [[Flip the suit]]

The suit... it seems more like a living thing. The inside is quite dark, but what you can see is pinkish - it seems almost organic - but also shiny, in the way it reflects light. You stick a hand in, out of curiosity... Unlike the dollsuit, the inside is almost warm to the touch... It has a weird slime texture to it. Perhaps more of the neuro-conductive gel? Your hand exposes the opening wider. There is a slightly fragrant floral odor to the suit. The pink "flesh" color seems "healthy" and your subconscious mind is quickly drawn to it... Attracted to the insane idea of immediately putting yourself "inside" of this hollow mermaid... But first, the cart... You locate the little unfolding rolling cart in another case which extends out from its packed form. There's some machine at the bottom with a cable. The cart has telescoping metal arms on both sides, which you extend out. Both has a set of four nylon straps with carabiners at the ends. You quickly figure out that these can hook various eyelets on the MFMS to support it at a slight angle from vertical to raise it up. It looks like this is designed to make the bulky suit easier to put on than from the floor. A kinky thought runs through your mind... The suit could be suspended for less... scientific endeavors. The cart also has a couple of really sturdy handles at the side, which seem like they will be helpful to help you stay balanced while getting in. There's also some kind of joystick on one side. Finally you connect the cable from the device on the cart to a matching notch in the narrow of the tail. <div class="letter">Arrange for operator to remove ALL clothing and accessories, with exception of support capsule and any genital security devices. Arrange for operator to enter suit feet first, one leg at a time. Slide arms into matching appendages. Take breathing orifice into mouth Press activation ring to initiate operator-suit integration process </div> [[You're not sure what that last part implies, but no stopping now.]]

<<=SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.togglePlayerHidden(true)>>\ You strip out from your clothes, and put it all in a tidy arrangement near the wall.... On one hand, there is something unnatural about this thing, but the intimacy of it kind of turns you on. You're glad you at least have some privacy to do this. You hesitantly slide one leg into the darkness of the tail. The slimy texture is kind of gross, but your leg quickly works its way down, and your foot finds support with rigid spots between what seems to be the narrowest point of 'her' majestic tail. You grab hold of the cart's side handles, and take your second foot off the ground, to slide into the suit. Gravity is now pulling you into the suit - a nagging thought occurs to you- it could be much harder to get out of this tail, than it was getting in. Next, you work your right hand into the slender right arm sleeve. Getting your fingers in takes some effort - you feel some goop blow out into your armpit after you work your fingers in. With your now shimmering silver-blue "gloved" hand holding the cart handle, you slide your other arm in, as more of your body finds itself in the gentle embrace of this suit, hanging from the cart. You mesh your two glossy hands together. You arrange your hair to make sure it will fit under the head of the suit. Unlike most of the skin which is so very sleek and smooth, the fingertips of the suit has some kind of rubberized texturing to give a rather good hold on things. You feel behind the suit - the two sides of the suit don't really want to close on their own, and there's no physical affordance like a zipper to be found. Finally, you take the "mouthpiece" into your mouth. You're relieved that it is very much just like a diving regulator, passing air normally through a mouth hole in the face. But the inside of the head of the mermaid is opaque. You are plunged in darkness. So mysterious. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Well, Now or never... Here I go")>> [[You push the activation ring]]

Now, you feel the suit closing in around you, and can't see anything. the back of the "head" comes enclosing around every part of your own. The gap over your spine in the back was open seems to pull itself together like a zipper, starting from above your butt up to just behind your shoulders. You don't feel the air on your naked body anymore. Your ears get plugged, and you feel your closed eyelids in direct contact with a thick gel. Your eyelids resist opening now. The suit has completely encased you. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merm","Connecting with advisory capsule.")>> You then feel muscle fibers of the suit contracting slightly around your body, surprisingly comfortable, sort of similar to how your favorite yoga pants nicely hug your butt. As opposed to almost-crushingly tight, like the dollsuit. Attaching to the "capsule" in deep in your butt... You feel it gingerly pulse inside you a few times. Finally, you feel a voice speak... in your head. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merm","<<=SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.getHeirName()>>, this is your suit speaking. Identification and mission verified. You are safe inside me. ")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Wait, whutt?! Are you alive?")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merm","No, I am merely a user interaction and guidance program. Please relax for neuralink attunement to complete.")>> Suddenly, you feel your feet on the floor of the room. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Wait, is this thing making me taller?")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merm","No, at least not yet, please stand by for attunement to complete.")>> The room becomes visible, the light seems so much brighter now, your field of view is much wider than normal. You touch to feel... Her face - it is almost perfectly smooth and rounded, there is no mouth or nose. The hands- encased in smooth, glossy scales which continue up her elegant arms. As you bring your finger up to her eyes... You don't instinctively close your eye when it touches. You find yourself able to blink, but you don't feel any resistance from your finger, as if the eyelid was on the inside the eye. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merm","Adapting wearer to suit")>> You feel some discomfort in your chest, and cough momentarily but you can't pin it down, but it passes. Momentarily you feel that tingly sensation as if your leg fell asleep, but for your entire body. It passes. Now, you don't feel your arms or legs as inside the warm, thick suit. Instead you start feeling a gentle draft on the mermaid's scales. As you look down, the first thing you notice, is her breasts... they are magnificent. And the feeling of the floor, you realize is her sensitive tail resting upon it. The room feels so very... Dry on her... scales. You feel... Naked in the room. A body like this belongs in water... You suddenly feel an irresistible craving to be in the water. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merm","Enhancing tail geometry")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Owww. That hurts!")>> You feel a sharp pain and some hear dull popping sounds. It feels like your legs are being drawn together and stretched out. Where the flat end of the tail felt loosely connected, it now feels as if it were your feet and all part of you. The pain has subsided, fortunately. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Phew... I hope that doesn't leave a mark.")>> [[Check the instructions for next step]]

You are just out of reach of the guide notes, so use your weight and awkwardly kick with your tail to shift the cart within arms reach of it. Finally you pick it up. <div class="letter">Operator can transition to internal instructions using the thought word "advise". </div> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","advise")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merm","STATUS: Suit is integrated with wearer. Extending riding platform for mermaid transportation mode. Operator, please move self to water lockout cell.")>> Right now your tail is on the floor - A "V" shaped platform rises up from the cart, stopping at a height which allows you to rest your knees, and then a back plate starts tilting upward, giving your tail some support. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Where is that? And how? I can't walk like this!")>> It's feeling like a desert in here - Was it always so dry in here? <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merm","Proceed forward and turn right at corridor. Use the cart control stick below rest handle. Activating navigational homing system.")>> [[You try to control the cart]]

You make an attempt to control the cart with the joystick - it's crazy sensitive and jerky. After a few awkward movements, you figure out how to slowly cart your mermaid booty over there. You see a set of animated navigational arrows in your field of vision. As you get closer, you feel accelerating pulses from the plug-capsule in your ass reinforcing the message you are getting closer to the destination. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","That's a curious choice...")>> You can only imagine what a silly sight you would make, this bluish mermaid, with an ungainly tail, kneeling on top of a tiny wheelchair-like cart as it rolls around dry ground. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merm","We are arriving at our destination. Holding wheels in parking mode. Lowering riding platform. Detach support cable and suspension clips to release self from cart, and open inner water lockout cell door.")>> You disconnect yourself from the cart's clips one by one, and flop yourself onto the floor. Shimmying on your tail-knees to the inner water lockout hatch on the floor, you see two indicators. One saying "outer door closed", and another "safe to open inner door". You open the inner water lock door along the well. Once opened, the water vapor rising out from the lock feels so fresh and inviting. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merm","Operator, lower us into the water and activate pressurized swim mode with thought-word 'aquatic' and prepare for phase transition.")>> You slowly slide in with the tip of your tail looking into the water. You push your ankles into the water - sitting at the edge with the water, the cooling effect is nice. You love the sensation of how the turbulent water plays across your scales. You turn around and lower yourself, using your arms to steady yourself into the water. You don't feel any kind of cold shock around your groin. You dip in with the water to breast depth. You feel your body relax, immersed in the water like this. [[Activate swim mode]]

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Aquatic")>> And just like that, you start feel the skin to the sides of your breasts starting to move on its own. Suddenly you feel the suit compress itself around your body. It is a little uncomfortable, just shy of painful, but similar to the dollsuit, so you can tolerate that. As you see the incredible curves it bestows onto you, this seems to be another one of those times, where beauty entails discomfort. Oh fuck. Something seems to have gone wrong! The mouthpiece is suddenly flooding with water. No, to die by drowning, trapped in this fiendish suit, with air so close but so far. This must be how it feels like for people getting waterboarded. [[Try to find a way to get the mask off]] [[Try to stay calm and hope for the best|Try to find peace in the moment]]

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Wait, stop... I... (cough) can't (cough)")>> You start freaking out, trying to find a way to disengage or stop it... It's too late to get out. You are completely trapped inside this thing. The mouth hole for breathing has sealed shut. The face is so perfectly smooth, there's no mask to remove or a way for you to get the your mouth to fresh air before you drown! You try the button, but no effect! How would anyone find or recover your dead body in this sealed room? [[You try to be stoic|Try to find peace in the moment]]

You try to collect yourself, and hear: <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merm","Do not panic. You are safe, you are not drowning. Your lungs are being irrigated with a breathable, oxygen rich mixture of conditioned liquid perfluorocarbon.")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merm","However, liquid fluid exchange in your lungs is insufficient for normal respiration. Your bloodstream is now being oxygenated by gas exchange by our gills.")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","What?!")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merm","Our gills will allow your body to obtain sufficient oxygen and to discharge carbon dioxide without a supplemental payload using the surrounding water. Have you regained awareness of your situation?")>> With your lungs full of the fluid, you realize it is true, you aren't drowning. That said, this breathing in water thing is unsettling. You are feeling quite out of your element. Ironic that one would describes this sort of predicament as being like a fish out of water. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Fuck... That was really scary, you could warn a girl, you know? Something like, 'oh, by the way, you won't *really* be drowning with water in your lungs while trapped inside of this sexy but absolutely claustrophobic suit'...")>> It felt good to get that off your chest. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Ok, yes... I'm fine.")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merm","Apologies. The creators of this program designed it with the expectation that the operator of this advanced system has thoroughly reviewed the reference manual before first use.")>> As you regain your calm, the "gills" behind your breasts are gently swaying in the water. The way they rhythmically sway is almost hypnotic to watch. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merm","Now, please close the inner hatch and equalize exterior pressure for opening outer hatch.")>> You close the inner hatch and press an "exterior equalization" button. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Ok, inner hatch is closed")>> You see a green "unlocked" light blinking for the outer hatch. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merm","Next, please open the outer hatch.")>> [[Perform a 'self-inspection' of the suit before departing]] [[You open the outer hatch and depart the station]]

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","I'm sorry, I think I'm a little tired from the diving, I'm not really keen on a movie right now. Uhh, I'm really busy with work, not much time for dating or that kind of thing right now.")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("biol","Oh, uhh - no biggie... Oh, shoot I forgot to clean up the filters in the lab... Sorry, I have to run!")>> She feigns a smile and quietly makes a beeline for the exit. [[Station Moonpool]]

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Thanks for the offer. You've been really helpful, and working with you has been fun. But, I was just supposed to do a call to my SO tonight. You know how things can get busy sometimes.")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("biol","Oh... yeah, of course. Work gets crazy and pesky calls with SO's, ha ha.")>> She makes a wacky face, holds up her hand as if holding a phone and bobs her head as if she's talking on said phone. She doesn't normally get too animated, but she seems to be over-compensating to seem chipper. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("biol","Oh, no biggie. Anyway, well yeah... Ok, maybe some other time")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Enjoy your movie!")>> She quietly makes a beeline for the exit. [[Station Moonpool]]

You arrive in the Galley to find the room darkened, with a projector showing a title screen for a nature documentary. As you arrive, you see margaret taking a baking sheet out of the oven. There's a bottle of some cheap looking white wine in an ice bucket, and a couple mess hall tumblers. Some shuffling noises in the kitchen, and then she is walking over with a tray and a bowl. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("biol","Ok, confession time... I'm a fiend for these Zucchini Spears.")>>" <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("zuccini-spears.jpg")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("biol","And this other bowl has roasted chickpeas with seasonings. You won't be able to eat just one.")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("chickpeas.jpg")>> She sets the snacks up on the table in front of you two, and pours servings of wine in the plastic mess tumblers. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("biol","Sorry, no glassware here. Shall we start the movie?")>> It's admittedly not a particularly elaborate setup, but you can tell she took some effort in preparing this stuff. The documentary has some incredible scenes of vivid color and action. You wonder how long the camera crews took to get those amazing shots. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("nature-documentary2.jpg")>> [[The movie continues]]

You shiver, and feel yourself getting a little cold from a draft, you look up and notice the air has started blowing from a vent. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("biol","Oh, are you feeling that too? The AC sometimes can be aggressive when it comes on, and I could never figure out how to stop it. I sometimes bring this blanket to cover my lap for when I'm watching tv here.")>> She pulls a fleece blanket out from her bag. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("biol","I'm going to throw this on my lap... Want to share this blanket with me?")>> [[No I'm fine]] [[Please, that sounds great!]]

The blanket isn't super wide, so you find yourselves seated a little closer... The scenes of the documentary are quite captivating, but your attention isn't entirely on the movie. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("nature-documentary.jpg")>> You feel her hand gently grazing the outside of your leg. You glance over to her. She shyly gazes down and away. But you also see what might be a coy smile. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("biol","My back and shoulders are so sore from lugging around those heavy scuba tanks this morning. ughh...")>> She rubs the back of her neck, but she can't really reach very well... [[Rub her shoulders]] [[Sorry to hear that|The film continues]]

The scenes of the documentary are quite captivating... <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("nature-documentary.jpg")>> [[The film continues]]

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","Let me get that.")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("biol","Oh, could you? You're the best.")>> She unzips her jacket down, giving you better access. You oblige with kneading her shoulders and back as you watch the film. She's right next to you. Her legs are putting out heat. You can hear her breathing is excited. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("biol","That's nice. Could you go a little lower on my back? If you want to put a little more pressure, I can handle it.")>> She winks at you. You reach up from under her shirt to massage her lower back. You oblige and really work your thumbs in. She bites her lip and leans her back into your grip. She then slides a hand under the blanket and between your thighs. [[You continue]]

Her deep breaths are audible, as you make slow circling motions over her back. She is stroking her fingers over your clothed inner thighs. She turns to face you and move her face closer to yours as... The mess hall door loudly opens. Titus enters the darkened room. You discreetly shift your hands out from Margaret's back. She still has hers in your lap. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merc","Hey nerds! What'cha watching?")>> Before either of you can respond he's already figured it out. A baby lizard is being chased by a legion of hungry snakes <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merc","Oh! That's one of those nature documentaries! I didn't realize it was movie night!

Can I?...")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("biol","Be my guest...")>> Margaret gestures at the food. He grabs a bite of one of the spears. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merc","Oh, this has just a little heat. What is that spice, Coriander?")>> Meanwhile, her hand is continuing to slowly play in your thigh gap under the blanket. She's been probing around your <<if (SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.hasGirlyGenitals())>>chastity belt<<else>>chastity cage<</if>>. It's hard to think straight at this point, but not enough to give you release. You hear the door... <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("eng","Noche de cine!")>> Bar hoists up a beer to salute your colleague, who grabs a beer as well, and gets seated about a foot away from you. He seems oblivious of Margaret's hand. You look at her - The movie is almost over, and the two of you can soon have some girly fun in private. [[The film ends]]

The mess hall door loudly opens. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merc","Hey nerds! What'cha watching?")>> Before either of you can respond he's already figured it out.

Eventually the movie wraps up, and you help Margaret clean up. You're tired from the dive, so you go to your bunk to [[Sleep|Sleep on research station - Recurring]]

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merc","I gotta admit, that was a pretty nice way to unwind. A toast to the hostess for getting the crew together for a movie night!")>> Everyone is willing to drink to that. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merc","But, Elso just got in... We can't stop there. Who's got a hankering for another movie? Oh, I know just the thing for our rookie here...")>> He flips through the old DVD collection to find what he's looking for. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merc","Deep Blue Sea...

Margaret is blushing a little and smiling at you. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merc","So, Rookie are you gonna watch, or chicken out on us?")>> No thanks (The peer pressure is far too great) [[uhh, sure]]

As the room goes dark with the new movie, Margaret gives your thighs a break. It's good she's being careful about not getting caught out by the others. You start watching the film... It's a goofy sci-fi horror B-Movie... At a point where there's a lull in the action, Margaret caresses your back - it feels nice. There's an interesting speech by one of the characters as the party rallies together... <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("deep-blue-sea2.jpg")>> But, this is a horror movie, so the situation becomes more desperate.

However, it's just a vegetable, between the legs of this gorgeous woman, gesturing for some more oral sex.

You start donning all the extra the gear. Out of the water the tank is a little heavy and awkward, but you keep your balance. With your fins and everything else on you slowly make your way to the moonpool edge. As you are on a stable platform, You will do a giant stride entry into the water. In one moment you are kicking one leg forward in the air, while the other pushes away from the deck. In the next, the water and noisy bubbles are swirling around in a few moments of chaos. Your vest keeps you buoyant, and you regain your bearings. You give her a thumbs up! That was exciting! After she gets in the water, Margaret starts running through a pre-planned checklist of skills to make sure you understand the principles, and can calmly deal with problems like clearing water in your mask, or needing air from your buddy. With the neutral buoyancy, having all the equipment, the padding of the suit, it's different from just swimming at the surface of a pool. Being immersed in the water, and observing things for an extended period like this - it's an interesting experience. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("first-dive.jpg")>> There's so much to do - everything feels like it takes a while, and you feel like you are at the edge of being overwhelmed, experiencing this stuff for the first time. However, before you know it you start to find yourself more comfortable - breathing calmly, adjusting your buoyancy and maneuvering underwater. After you run through all the checks, Margaret allows you some time to get a sense for the scenery near the station. Suddenly a big school of fish surrounds in a glittering field of dancing silver! Following them, you see a pod of dolphins come within 5 feet of you, but they don't seem interested in you, and keep swimming. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("dusky-dolphin.jpg")>> Just as you're starting to have fun, you hear a metal tapping sound, and spin around see Margaret giving the thumbs up signal, which you reciprocate - it's time to surface in the moonpool and finish your first dive after what turns out to have been 30 minutes. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("first-dive-surface.jpg")>> As you reach the surface, you share a high five with Margaret. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","That was really cool!")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("biol","Awesome.

You drop the fins. Then you unbuckle your buoyancy compensator pack and weight belt to safely place on the floor. Then the dive knife. Finally, you get seated to a bench beside Margaret to start taking off your waterlogged wetsuit. jeebus... Was the air down here always this cold? As your dexterity isn't so good from the thick neoprene and cold, she helps you peel off your gloves, and you do likewise for her. You both are slightly shivery and trying to work quickly. Putting it on dry was a little tricky, but it's a whole other thing getting out of this thick, tiny wetsuit while you are soaked. Getting the arms off seems to require you to contort yourself in ways you don't remember having to do when it was dry, but you ultimately get your arms free, and the suit is down to your waist. With the chest of your wetsuit off, you are embarrassed as you notice that your wet nipples are making points under your swimsuit. From there, getting the legs off is a fierce struggle to break free from a tight suit that just doesn't want to let you go, especially with hands that are tired and a little numb. You didn't really notice you were a bit of cool in the water before, but you sure do now! After Margaret has gotten herself out of her wetsuit and enjoyed a moment of laughter watching your struggle, she helps you work your way out of the legs. She grabs the stuff, hoses everything down with fresh water and puts the gear in a drying rack room with a big dehumidifier and lots of fans. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("biol","You'll appreciate being able to put on a suit when it is mostly dry again.

Out of prudence, you decide this would be a good moment to perform a "self inspection" health check on the suit. You feel yourself over to make sure this suit and your body hasn't been hurt or damaged. If you've learned anything from the computer in your time together, It's so very important that vital tissues like your breasts and ass have not been harmed. That long tail, too - it's important to make sure that every little bit of this body is still healthy ready to perform this task. The sensation of the texture on your fingers playing over the slippery scales of the powerful tail is a little arousing. Before you get completely distracted by the possibilities, you remind yourself there is a job to do though... After you finish the self examination, you are impressed at how well the suit fits, and feel confident that there is no damage to it, and feel ready to proceed with the next step. [[You open the outer hatch and depart the station]]

You make your way in through a hatch. The site does not have an air lock or air inside. A set of robotic arms take hold of your suit's anchor points and connects to the tail segment.

You start to regain your sense of things. You wish that you could review the temporal ansible logs, but unfortunately, you simply cannot from here, in this suit.

After about a minute, you feel yourself on a slight downward incline with your head facing down foot lower than your tail, hanging about 3 feet in the air. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merm","Displacing fluids.")>> Air bubbles start tickling up your windpipe, and the process continues for about a minute as the fluid drains out of your lungs. You feel yourself cough a number of times as the last bits clear out of your windpipe. At one last cough, the "mouth" of the suit opens itself to air, and that foamy bit of coughed spittle flies out. eww. That said, you're happy to have air running through your lungs. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merm","Levelling suspension, decoupling operator from suit.")>> With the fluid out, the cart arm pivots the suit to bring the tail towards the floor. Slowly at first, the suit start to loosen it's very tight embrace of your body. The sensations of the tail being your "feet" diminish, and your mind seems to again register your skin as being inside of the liquid-slime of the suit, rather than sensations on the scales. The tail relaxes its extreme hold on your legs. Your ears are unplugged, and the sense of cooler air on the back of your head is the first sensation of being out from the suit. The chill of cool water droplets falling into the small of your back reinforce that the suit has pulled itself open for you. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merm","Severing neuralink connection with operator. You may now extract yourself from the suit. Rack will prepare for a raised tail release once your upper body is clear.")>> Your vision goes dark. The suit gives the "advisory capsule" a firm push inside of you, and then hear a click as it detaches. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heir","haaah!")>> [[Get out from the MFMS]]

You lift the back of the "head" away, and work your mouth clear of the mouthpiece. You start to peel your right shoulder out, and then the arm slowly loose, finally peeling each finger out from the integrated gloves. You do likewise for the other arm, and are free of the suit down to your midsection. There's a thin coating of the slime over your body. You flick off the thickest globs into the empty portion of the suit. You start trying to push yourself out from the tail, but your legs are really sealed in deep. Then, the cart arms seem to start slowly rotating things again, bringing the tail section back up into the air, as you head goes down. This time, you feel an uneasy feeling of gravity helping to pulling your legs and curvy butt out of the tail. You grab a couple of handles at the front of the cart base to pull yourself, as you slowly wiggle out of the tail, in an experience that is physically like a second birth. Exhausted, you pull the advisory capsule which had been embedded in your ass this whole time, which makes an awkward "schlorp" sound, as you finally get it out of you. You are relieved to see a towel in the MFMS suit case, which you use to wipe the slime off of you, and then dress in your regular clothes. <<=SugarCube.getLib().PlayerModel.togglePlayerHidden(false)>>\ You follow a detailed set of instructions for washing and re-packing the suit and all the equipment.

[[Go somewhere else|Sea Station]]

On arrival, the pilot gestures for the headphones which you and the merc place on hooks in the craft. The merc then jumps out to greet another man in a similar tactical uniform and a short young woman on the deck, who seems quite curt with him. They start collecting gear and running it down from the helipad deck to a very sturdy cart on a waiting freight elevator. You start to do the same, but you can only manage one hardcase at a time. Eventually you, the girl and the merc have unloaded the big items, and the pilot has finished refueling his helicopter. At this point the clouds are rapidly becoming darker, and you feel a light rain coming down. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("ocean-storm.jpg")>> And with that, the pilot gives a finger twirl gesture with his finger to all to see. As your group returns to the helicopter, he shouts: <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heli","We've got a very low pressure front coming in fast, I need to get off this deck ASAP. The winds are already picking up. I'll be back in a week or so, after the storm passes. Bar - I'm sure you'll do fine to remind the Argentine Guardacostas to maintain their distance from the station, until I'm back.")>> The merc from the station stows his bag on the helicopter and climbs aboard. Your party runs, crouching, back to the cover of the elevator. A few moments later and the helicopter is aloft, leaving you with the merc who flew in with you and your petite hostess. Her tone with the merc doesn't quite match her words: <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("biol","Titus... A pleasure as always.")>> Then she addresses you.

Originally it was designed to have a crew of 21 plus 14 scientists, but we're running on a skeleton crew right now. You'll undoubtedly run into Elso, our engineer.

Looking around the elevator, major labels are in translated to English, but there's a bunch of safety labels in Russian text. You hope it's nothing important. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merc","Well ladies, this is my stop. Have a nice stay on our little rustbucket.")>> The merc gives a sloppy salute, picks up his duffle bag and gets off with a stop at Level 7. Margaret gives him a bit of an icy glare. After he gets off, you and Margaret keep going down. After going down what seems like roughly 100 feet from the observation deck, and feeling your ears pop a couple times, the elevator opens to an austere storage area. The two of you roll the cart into the hold, and she takes a box of provisions with her. You go back into the elevator where she presses a button to head back up to Level 7, the 'Bridge'. [[You Arrive at Level 7]]

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("biol","This is the bridge.

We're in international waters outside any national claims, so they don't have any business with us, but they sometimes patrol uncomfortably close. Elso mostly runs day to day operation of the station from wherever he is, with the help of the automated systems.

The computer has already notified you that you can depart on demand. <<if SugarCube.getLib().Tasks.hasTask("maristech-5k-runwalk")>> The Maristech 5K run-walkathon is coming up... It might be nice to do that before you go. <</if>> [[Proceed to travel]] - No time like the present! [[I have some things I wanted to do before the trip]] - You can depart from your car, when you are ready.

This is all a bit much... It's best to go into a trip like this calmly, not rushed. <<= SugarCube.getLib().Tasks.addTask("go-to-sea-station")>>\ [[Maristech Campus]]

The Doctor's assistant walks in to mention that your car has arrived and is paging for you. [[Take your car to the Airport!]]

<<if SugarCube.getLib().Tasks.hasTask("go-to-sea-station")>>\ <<=SugarCube.getLib().Tasks.removeTask("go-to-sea-station")>>\ <</if>>\ While in the car you use your phone to review the detailed itinerary... The computer has booked you a private Airbus charter jet which will make a refueling stop in Miami, before landing in Montevideo. From there you'll travel on to some dot at the edge of the South American Continental shelf. It's an underwater research station, where you'll officially be installing some advanced new ansibles. The research station is situated in a region described as the "Brazil-Malvinas Confluence" (BMC), where north-bound sub-Antarctic water and tropical water from the coast of Brazil mix together. Apparently, the BMC is an amazing spot for plankton, and Maristech has a station there to study it. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("bmc.jpg")>> Before you realize it, [[you have reached the Airport]]

Your car arrives at an airport security gate. You are prompted for some documents which the computer has prepared, and the car is guided directly to a small jet. You see a conveyor belt from a freight van is transferring some hard-shell containers onto the aircraft. The computer instructs you to board. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("jet-runway.jpg")>> Walking out of the car at the tarmac, you meet a pilot and stewardess who guide you to a seat of your choice. There are no other passengers - it's just you. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("aircraft-interior.jpg")>> The first leg of the trip goes pretty quick, with the plane going at Mach 0.8, according to the onboard entertainment system. After arriving a service hanger in Miami, one of the pilots swaps out, and a truck crew refuels the aircraft. After about 25 minutes, you taxi out and are back in the air. The second leg takes a good bit longer, which gives you some time to wonder what you will see at your destination. After a while, you take a nap. Some time later, you see the aircraft flying over a bunch of ranches and tropical rain forests in Brazil. Finally, the terrain starts getting a bit more temperate as the plane is descending again. [[You arrive in Montevideo]]

<<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("montevideo.jpg")>> This is a relatively small, old timey city. It might be nice to explore, but you see a sleek helicopter is already waiting for you to arrive. You are guided aboard, to meet a pilot and scruffy bearded mercenary soldier with a rifle, who helps load up your gear and a couple of crates of groceries. No one here seems interested or feels it is their job to talk to you. After a couple minutes, you are in the air. You are handed a noise damping headset by the pilot. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Images.drawAction("Helicopter.jpg")>> [[A few minutes after takeoff]]

A few minutes after takeoff, you figure out that there is a volume control on the headset. It was muted, until you turned it. <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heli","...who is this princess we're taking out on emergency notice like this??")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merc","Another lab rat, judging by the all that fucking gear she's dragging along.")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heli","Damn, can't they respect the load limits on this thing? Bar, you've seen these birds, we're going to be running on fumes to reach the station with this... ")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("merc","Keep your panties on. Aren't they paying you triple for this job? ")>> <<=SugarCube.getLib().Dialogue.speak("heli","This is bullshit, even a defective ex-jarhead like you should know this is a stupid idea. You saw the weather report. Hazard pay or not, going out with this load in inclement weather like this is a needless risk.")>> The merc shrugs his shoulders, takes a swig out of a flask and throws on his sunglasses. The pair stop talking. A few minutes more, and land is nowhere in sight. The helicopter is rapidly cruising towards the research station. The wind starts gets a little more turbulent on the way, you feel a lot of vibration from the helicopter. After about an hour you see a tiny floating platform with a helipad. [[The helicopter comes in for a landing]]

<div class="letter">\ Please do not ignore this message. This is not a transmission error. Marissa, this message is intended for your receipt. This message is being sent to you from the future. You can verify the veracity of this message, as the following events will be reported in your newspapers... For the long term security of these communications, please relocate this pod to the ocean floor at coordinates (-37.725877, -53.249824), and construct a time capsule to reside with the pod, according to the following specifications... Please leave an aluminum plate inscribed with an acknowledgement of this message. -The Temporal Council </div> [[TEMPORAL ANSIBLE MESSAGES]]

<div class="letter">\ Hello Marissa, Your first message was verified in the time capsule. Please review the psychological profile of Clark Johnson, your successor candidate, especially with regards to his levels of aggression. We would advise that he not be permitted to succeed you in the oversight of Maristech. The situation in our time entails some challenges. Clark will set your company on a path which would be quite unfortunate for humanity. We can elaborate if neccessary, but our projections have determined in 94.2% of simulations with him at the helm, humanity will experience a planetary calamity within 5 years of him succeeding you as leader of the company. -The Temporal Council </div> [[TEMPORAL ANSIBLE MESSAGES]]

<div class="letter">\ Thank you, Marissa. Your last acknowledgement was been confirmed from the time capsule. We appreciate the burden of being the sole recipient of these messages, but your actions have given us a sense of great hope. Our analysts have determined that Kevin McRichmond cannot be entrusted with the company. He would set in motion a chain of events which in our times are known as the Eugenics wars of 2031. In fact, following a detailed analysis, we found that no man in the management hierarchy can be entrusted to run your company from a wide ranging pool. From a deep analysis, we have noted there is a virulent strain of toxic masculinity active in your era. Here is a detailed report elaborating on our concerns... We realize how much of a sacrifice we ask, but you must arrange steps to prepare for your only child and daughter, Jenny, to fill your shoes. After a thorough analysis, we came to the conclusion that this would be the only viable candidate. We are transmitting our recommendations for a curriculum of core training for your computer to oversee, to assist your heiress in her preparations. We understand from the histories, the challenges your heiress suffered in preparing herself for this role, but it simply is the only way. Our analysts have identified a failure rate floor, of 91.87% with the best available male candidates. Your heiress was able to crack a 73.12% success rate in our simulations with no catastrophic incidents. We recognize the difficulties this process entails and the considerable strain it will place on your relationship. Do appreciate that in her old age, your heiress reminisced fondly about how you and the computer shaped her into the woman who lead maristech through the turbulent times to a new golden age. -The Temporal Council </div> [[TEMPORAL ANSIBLE MESSAGES]]

<div class="letter">\ Please ensure that your computer, which we understand has been responsible for decoding temporal ansible transmissions is safely removed from official known Maristech facilities. A tidal wave of anti technology backlash shall render many of your company's and rival venture technologies illegal in the near term. This will cause a near term setback for your company, but do not lose heart. Your Heiress will be able to harness this infrastructure when the time is right, for the upcoming times of tribulations. Please also start to increase funding for the Maristech space systems can accommodate heavy launch of 40000 kg to low earth orbit by 2024. One of our council members thought you might like this.
