    • Basic Story

      • Susanna Tate, heiress to the Tate fortune, is driven with a single mission. Ever since she was made paraplegic in a car-accident, she's funded the development of Telemesh VIRA, the Virtual Independence Remote Actor. Kenneth is co-inventor of the missing piece, the Dymostat, and unknowingly becomes Susan's design partner as they make the first viable VIRA design.

    • Act 1 - Bringing VIRA to market

      • (The unknown secret story, is that Telemesh units were developed by Susanna Tate, heiress to the Tate fortune, because she became paraplegic in a car-accident.)

      • Steve recruits Kenneth, because Telemesh needs him to help un-tethering the units. He first meets Susan through a tethered "Reena" model. One unusual condition of the project, is that he'll be given an on-site apartment, which when he sees, he thinks is incredible.

      • Kenneth is introduced to the 'entertainment' aspect of the product, through operator Nicole in a "Jordan". (the units have somewhat cold/rubbery skin, and have only crude interaction, sort of mo-cap inspired... a pre-programmed strip-tease, and a mechanical "handjob" -- because of the lack of real sensation)

    • Kenneth tries piloting a VIRA, so he can better understand the technology. In auto-mode he picks between pre-programmed motions. He tries 'manual' control, but it's sensation-less, and he ends up breaking a drawer and causing the unit to fall. When he disconnects, the unit re-activates, offering to help Kenneth with the design, but not admitting who it is. They resolve for him to just call her VIRA, after the technology. In their first brainstorming session, she wants to solve tethering, but he's drawn to the "psudo-sensation" problem. She talks about their previous attempts, and after some ping-pong, he decides to try sending different frequencies of electrical current to the operator. After he makes some fast software changes, he wants to try it, but VIRA is already trying it, and can suddenly "feel" contact. The two of them nearly have a moment.

    • He has a session with Operator Nicole, where she is "amazed" at the new sensation technology they added, demonstrating it with all kinds of simple object manipulations, asking if he had anything to do with it. He shyly admits the design was his idea, which causes her to go overboard with praise (and flirtation, and "manual control" sexual reward). (her skin is still rubbery and cold)

    • At work, VIRA only briefly complements the sensory technology, including the new elaborate "full body sensory mesh", because she's frustrated that "i'm still stuck on this cord". She's asking "can we this, can we that", Kenneth responds in frustration, saying there is no solution, it's not the Dymostat, but the cooling which is so big. The units simply have to be bigger, and that "other" parts of the design (bones, motors, etc) are much easier to miniaturize (with exotic materials). She surprisingly accepts his solution, and starts working on "how much bigger" they need to be... finally working out that they "only" need to be two feet taller (8').

      • They make their first un-tethered units, as an 8' tall "demonstration unit". Kenneth oversees as Steve and Susan proudly present their first prototype ("Reena") to the company in an all-hands, with Susan opearting.. When the all-hands is done, Kenneth heads back to his lab to put the finishing touches on "Jordan++". Once he gets her online, he logs operator-nicole in to "test" the unit. Kenneth explains what it is, and the diagnostic tasks, which she complies with, even as she starts to tease him about how naughty it is that he wants her in a bigger body, with even bigger boobs.

      • At work, Kenneth works with VIRA to improve the Dymostat cooling system (participating via a tethered R-25 "VIRA"). He designs an elaborate fluid cooling system around a fluid-porous polymer (which the company just bought the maker of) to shed heat out of the entire surface area, though calculations project the skin of a 5'8" unit will be too warm (135 degrees), reaching 98 degrees only at 6'10". (Mystery-VIRA and Kenneth are getting "closer" through their working relationship, and she starts flirting, but he's not responding -- as he's kinda into Operator Nicole/Jordan)

      • Mystery-VIRA surprises him, showing up in a prototype un-tethered porous-skin cooled "6'10" Jordan" model.. commenting that they only made one, and his usage log suggests he prefers this model. Playfully suggesting he can call her VIRA, Jordan, his secret elf helper, or whatever he likes. She spends the next working session not playing fair at all, shamelessly flirting, complementing him. He tries to ignore her advances by working on the cooling problem, which just makes him more frustrated that there is "no way to shed the heat faster with a closed fluid loop", which is just the observation he needs to realize he needs to open the fluid loop, to make the unit "sweat". (talk about humans, horses, and sweat) VIRA solves the equations about how much fluid it would need to "sweat" per hour to achieve 98 degrees. Evaporative cooling is very efficient, so it turns out it only needs to shed 1/4 liter per hour, and she offers the ironic connection that since the fluid reservoir is in the bust, the hot busty models (like Jordan) will have an easier time keeping cool. She then pours on even more praise, going so far as to corner him and kiss-him in a congratulatory way -- though because she's 6'10" Jordan, his mind is really mixed up, and he gets all hot and flustered. Then teases him a minute about it, before she admits she knows about Operator Nicole, and says goodbye and suggests he bring her online.

      • After Kenneth explains about the new un-tethered prototype - Operator Nicole (6'10" Jordan) and Kenneth "take a walk" around the office, something she's never been able to do before in a Telemesh.. After the walk is underway, she backtracks and asks who was operating Jordan before she came online. He stutters about the suggestion that she's "cheating" with another operator, but he's not supposed to reveal he's working with Susan, so he uses the vague "a colleague". That normally she uses VIRA, but they only made this one un-tethered unit. Operator Nicole gives him trouble about spending his day working with a "colleague" who's in the form of an anatomically perfect woman. "She must have been pretty excited today. Did you make some big progress on your project?" (he's surprised she can tell, and says yes, explaining how they can now make a normal-size untethered model. mentioning how perceptive it was of her.) (somehow they end up somewhere private) "Well, she left a little calling card on you." Operator Nicole proceeds to wipe little bits of lipstick off his cheek. He starts acting funny, feeling caught in the act, trying to explain. Operator Nicole doesn't act jealous, she just pushes forward, suggesting she's going to give him something to remember which operator he really likes. -- play ensues. (including her teasing him about how he obviously doesn't want her normal size, and she doesn't want it either)

    • Act 2 - Market Launch

      • Steve, VP of marketing, shows him "the commercial", offering the VIRA to the market. Listing off it's benefits, positioning it as a stepford-like 'perfect-wife-or-assistant', with only a small allusion to intimacy, and the 14 "aesthetics" available, only briefly touching on costs.

      • Now that production has begun on the new un-tethered 5'8" design, his mystery VIRA assistant is 5'8" and untethered. He's a bit guarded, and she comments that she can tell something is up. That if he really liked her as Jordan better, she can switch. He declines, and suggests the whole Telemesh thing is confusing, that he never really knows who he's talking to. She's all business today, and comments that they're trying to give her a face with some malleability, but that their results so far have been very poor compared to the pre-made models. She asks if he'd like to work on that, or perhaps the battery-life problem. He's hardly paying attention and she can tell. She can see, and suggests he's overworked and should take some time off. He protests, but she insists. She suggests he spend some time with someone he cares about -- which strikes right at the heart of his troubles. He explains how he's worried that he's falling for an operator, and that it isn't real. She's just an operator of a tele-presence unit. She gives him some sympathy about how his situation is understandable. The company made the telemesh units to be as real as possible, and even more, attractive, desirable. "Have you told her? That's the only way you are going to find out." --- she suggests a date, at his at work apartment of course, and encourages him to be optimistic.

    • "Home from work" - what it's like to come home to 5'8" Jordan the first day, through a new customer's eyes. She greets him in a sexy but standard 'little black cocktail dress', introduces herself (Jordan, though you may give me any name you like), guides him to his dinner seat. He notices apartment is spotless, new art is hung (which she confesses is just a print, but she thought it would look good there), gourmet dinner is made for him. After a casual exchange about how his day was at work, she asks if it would be a good time to go over the assistant-introduction information. After a brief monologue about the product goals, care-requirements (fluid intake, battery life), and how the "operator" relationship works (she is his operator though he can request another if he chooses. she's his 7am-9am and 5pm-midnight, and other times schedule permitting, otherwise a substitute operator will be provided due to scheduling limitations. However, her demeanor and their shared experience is managed by the VIRA system. Would you like other operators to announce themselves, or also identify themselves as Jordan?), she adds that there is extensive customer profile configuration. She asks to briefly see his mobile phone, which with a touch of her finger she causes to install the VIRA configuration app, showing the picture of a Jordan. She suggests that he can peruse through the settings, or she can review them at any time. He's loving the meal, so he requests she go over them. She almost clinically reviews a multiple-choice list, which starts with safe but interesting "demeanor" questions, and after a qualifying question about intimacy, starts to get fairly steamy. Asking for her intimacy demeanor profile (platonic, responsive, seductive, submissive, dominant, or custom). When he curiously asks what that means, she lists off the current "responsive" profile, with such settings as the "average frequency of soliciting suggestive glances", "average frequency of suggestive brushes of the body", "required certainty of sexual intent before she initiates", "preferred initiation method", and 24 more settings, though her current conversational settings prevent her from continuing, unless he'd like to override them. "No, that's quite all-right. They are all in the app I assume." She nods, as he picks up the app, and starts to fish through settings. It doesn't take him long to find the "sexual demeanor option, and try to nonchalantly switch it to "seductive". She changes her posture slightly, and she could have easily made that change for him. She suggests there is no reason for him to be shy, she's a real person, but it's her job to match his desired profile. "Are you enjoying your dinner? Do you like how I seasoned it?" While he answers, she reaches for her glass of water, and takes several long sips. When he's done answering, she leans over the table towards him, "Excellent. When you're finished with that, I have a wonderful chocolate souffle in the oven." The way she's leaning over the table, he can't help but glance at her suddenly prominent cleavage. "Or, if you prefer, we can skip right to the *other* dessert." (she slips her foot against his leg, her forwardness startling him) Then she gets up, taking his plate, and commenting that he doesn't want to miss her souffle. When she comes back from the kitchen with the dessert, her sex-appeal has clearly gone up a few notches. Her bust is obviously puffing out the top of her dress, and her walk includes a sexy slinking motion. "This is so melt in your mouth delicious," She sets the dessert down, flirtatiously resting her hand on his shoulder as she looks down. "I'm almost jealous I can't have any." (maybe she feeds it to him? where does this go?)

      • Kenneth's "evening date"... Operator Nicole (in Jordan 5'8") is shamelessly sexy and flirting, while he's uncomfortably resisting her advances, until finally she digs into why, and he admits the predicament. She's a bit forlorn too, and he's worried it's over. She stops him, and insists she feels something for him too, and that she's also afraid of it. To him she's just "operator Nicole, in this impossibly sexy body" -- he doesn't really know anything about her. He says he wants to meet the "real" her in person, but she protests, *this* is the real her. *this* is who she wants to be. That she doesn't want to be the "real" her anymore. Isn't this enough? He wants it to be, but he's not sure what *this* is? He asks her to share something about herself. She's reluctant. She finally finds something to tell him, but it's not very personal. She suggests they 'move in together'. Some discussion about what that even means. She's more aware of the company policies about VIRAs in corporate-apartments than he is. He agrees to try it, but if this is going to be 'real' she needs to open up more.

    • Act 3 - worlds collide

      • "I love my new hair, but it has a few glitches." he collaborates with VIRA, ironing out kinks in the new hair-control-system... Commenting that his 'situation' with Operator Nicole has become awkward. First, there is the awkward fact that he sees her "everywhere", because she's Jordan. Second, she won't really open up, tell her anything about herself. Whenever he tries to learn something about her, she just changes the subject (he doesn't reveal that she changes it to sex). The end-result is that she feels more like a 'service' than a person. Then he criticizes himself for opening up about this to someone who also hides behind a machine. VIRA has introspective things to say, both about how she understands his situation, and how he understands hers. She points out that they have a 'friendship', even though to him she's VIRA. That society is only just figuring out what it means to interact outside of carbon forms.

        • ...she admits that she's operator-nicole ( but she doesn't yet admit she's the owner of the company (Susan) )... "proving" it to him by listing off several things Nicole knows about him, and he knows about Nicole, including some of his sexual fetishes. He's slow to accept it, so she repeats some 'catch phrase' of Nicole, which he still doesn't exactly buy, until she turns her hair dark, and guzzles enough water the give VIRA a notable bustline. She threatens to go get Jordan-DS2 because of how much he likes her bigger, and he finally accepts it. Some discussion about why she didn't tell him to begin with.

        • They get back to work, and she turns up her collaborative flirtation quite a bit. Eventually he can't think about work, and she suggests he heads home so she can "meet him there", asking him if he has any dinner requests.

      • Kenneth shows up at home to finished dinner and 5'8" Jordan, talking about how much better she feels now that he knows it's her. She asks if he'd prefer she use VIRA in the lab, to which he says yes, and that perhaps she can tone down the flirtation so he can think straight. She chuckles a little, reminding him she's been his collaborator from the beginning. He pushes that he still doesn't know much about her, and she finally drops some details of her life. After he finishes with dinner, she tells him she has a surprise waiting for him in the bedroom, pointing him off in that direction without following, "go on".

      • In the bedroom, Jordan-DS2 (6'10") is kneeling on the bed in sexy lingerie, and picks up the conversation where they left off. Flirting, and teasing him.

    • Act 4 - demand explosion

    • Steve, VP of marketing, has a meeting with the executive staff, about how demand is exploding. They watch the new VIRA commercial, expanding on how they may be self-operated (remote-presence, personal safety, or inhabiting the body you've always wanted) or operated by the VIRA-service as a (nanny, secretary, receptionist, or 'perfect-wife' at home assistant for him *and* her) -- including vague language and suggestive scenes.

      • They shipped over 22,000 units, and their three retail locations are mobbed with interest and selling units faster than they can make them. How it's not just single men buying them. Families are buying them instead of a nanny. Business are buying them, putting the 'real' staff in an operator booth. Even some women are buying them, for themselves, just to feel sexy. They have license rights to ramp up on seventeen new 'famous personality aesthetics' (all deceased former stars). Steve wants to open up the line to "male aesthetics", Susan states "we're not going to do that" with detachment. Steve asks why, and she refuses to offer any explanation. "We are, however, going to begin a service to offer custom aesthetics matching the user, with any desired adjustments of course. I expect the early customers to be the financially elite. I trust you can decide how to price it appropriately."

      • Kenneth has some time outside of the office... He meets some friends in a downtown shopping district.

        • While he's waiting for some friends, he sees a Jordan and thinks he knows her, he quickly realizes it's not the Jordan he knows -- though the VIRA AI allows her to recognize and respond to him personally. As he walks with his friends, we get to see how quickly VIRA has penetrated commercial society, and how strange it is.

        • His friends want to stop by the VIRA store, "because it's fun". The store is staffed entirely with VIRA models (thus the staff is both gorgeous, and includes obvious twin-duplicates, all dressed in matching uniforms). His friends are impressed at how they acknowledge Kenneth as a cherished employee of the company, though they also 'recognize' the crew from them having visited the store before. They offer Kenneth to show his friends the VIP-area. They cajole him into doing it, and as they head back, she instructs him to activate any demonstration models he wishes.

        • The VIP area entry hallway contains real-sculpted-VIRA photo panels, touting the real woman next to her VIRA sculpted personality. Which the guys check out and remark about.

        • Inside, there are a dozen VIRA models along the wall in matching elegant black dresses - in an array of configurations that spread the spectrum of height, curve, and ethnicity. The guys are floored at the sexy display, and each gravitate towards their 'preference'. One of them asks him what it takes to activate them. He demonstrates, holding his fingers on the tallest's Jordan's wrist for a few seconds. She comes to life, with his 'girlfriend' Operator Nicole at the helm, making quippy flitations ("Couldn't stand a day away from me, could you?")

          • He explains his friends wanted to visit the store, and they basically forced him to show them the VIP area.

          • She looks around, addressing his 'friends', (hello boys. they make for a much more interesting demonstration activated) She waves her hand, and suddenly they all activate, the one nearest each of his friends introducing herself, while the others converge on each friend's arms. ("that should keep them busy for a while.") -- After noting she feels kind of 'tall', and then noting why (this model is a 5'10" Jordan, in 4" heels), she notes she could switch his model out at home if he prefers this. Though she references 'though why bother with a couple inches when you have me 6'10" in the bedroom". Then she teases him about something special she has planned for him the next day, sunday.. but she won't let on what it is, other than innuendo that it's "big". She flirts and kisses him. Then she returns to the wall, and tells him he better rescue his friends before they spend their life savings on VIRA home units, before she deactivates.

          • He turns, and finds his friends overwhelmed by the girls. One of his friend full on kissing, the other two looking like they are being hunted by models. He interrupts the kiss, and says they should go get lunch before this goes too far, and instructs the girls "that's enough demonstration". The girls politely laugh and excuse themselves to the wall, disgruntling his friend a little. The other girls quickly follow suit, leaving the guys following Kenneth to the exit but wanting more. The one guy asking if they tried kissing, which the other guys didn't even know they could do.

    • "Gift for my wife" - A wealthy husband surprise gifts his wife one of the 'personalized' VIRAs to operate for herself.

        • She's sort of upset. He bought it for her because she was complaining about two of her friends now operating them. Did he get the order wrong? (He means the 'improvements' from her normal self. They have a back and forth conversation about her reluctance. He convinces her to 'try' it. He shows her the jack-in-console, which is quite a large machine he put in an extra bedroom downstairs. At first she's sort of upset the machine is downstairs, and finds the whole thing awkward. He tells her he's going to start the tutorial, and meet her back upstairs.

        • The tutorial talks her through the basics control systems (automatic, and manual), has her "sit herself down" on the couch, then it calibrates her sensation sensitivity. She laughs and gets a kick out of feeling the tingle in her fingers and arms. Her hubby asks what it's like, and she says it's not exactly like touch, kind of like gentle tickling little shocks. The tutorial talks about disposition, and how it helps the autopilot adjust it's movement quality, explaining she's now in 'refined' disposition. It asks her if the person in view is her husband. She confirms, and it explains person-based disposition, that she can set the autopilots typical disposition towards her husband. She laughs at this a bit, and finally sets it to "affectionate", which causes her posture to instantly change to a more inviting position, a moment later, her hand briefly rubs her husband's leg. She's a bit shocked, because she didn't "do" anything. The tutorial explains that's the autopilot. That command intentions are shown on the screen for two seconds before they are executed, if she'd like to alter them. Then it suggests she head to a mirror, explaining to her how to navigate in autopilot.

        • He follows her, and she gets a real kick out of seeing "herself" in front of the mirror. The autopilot begins quite an alluring 'pose' session, which she talks about. "This is not at all what I expected. I guess I thought it would be, I don't know, more difficult. It's really easy to use. Like if I want to pose with a little more sass, I just select this, and.." Her posture changed, her hand propped on her hip as she added a sexy-sway, then she looked her husband's reflection in the eye, and her finger flicked at her bottom lip suggestively. "Wow, I've never felt so sexy. Honey, I think you're starting to drool. I don't know if that should make me happy or upset."

        • "Look, I bought this as a gift for you. If you don't like it, I can send it back." He stepped up to her, and she snugged up in a way she never had before. It was like being with his wife, and not being with his wife. The machine mostly looked like her, though a significant amount younger, prettier, and taller. However, her movement was entirely different. She seemed to glide with an alluring willfulness about her.

        • "Ohh, no you're not sending it back. I really like it, I just don't know if I *should* like it. Well, here goes, let's try this." Suddenly she leaned in naturally, and he could tell it was for a kiss. Part of him felt strange, that a machine was trying to kiss him, but the other part already saw her as his wife. It started soft, then a little tongue, and then before he knew it, it was over. Probably the most sensuous little kiss he'd ever had. "Ohh no, she kisses better than I do, doesn't she?" He realized his face must have shown a little shock, and he turned beet red.

        • "Honey, she *is* you. And it turns out you are a good kisser whether you're using VIRA or not." She pulled him in, rubbing a hand against his hip, the look in her eye very sexy.

        • "A bit evasive, but a good recovery. This thing is a real trip. It's almost like a video game, flirt by numbers. I tell her how much, and then I get to see what she does. Like this." She bit at her lower lip, then her posture shifted. She hugged in close, her chest pressing against his. "Ohhh, that feels really good. I might have that sensitivity setting up a little too high. Or not." She pulled his head down, and this time there was nothing soft about the kiss, it was pure passion. By the time it ended, he let out a little gasp for air.

        • "What's wrong honey? Trouble keeping up?" She was already backing towards the bed. "She's just a robot. Though I admit she's damn sexy for a robot." And she was. Even just the way she flicked her dress out of the way and glided up onto the bed had a quality of movement that wasn't at all like his wife. It was like everything she did was a deliberate performance. However, the way his wife was talking about herself in the third person was a little eerie.

        • "Honey, please stop saying 'she'. 'She' is you. Maybe a version of you, but you. That's one of the real benefits of this new operator personalized model. When I look at you, I see my wife." He reached the bed, sitting on the edge, not quite pulled into her flirtation, despite the kiss.

        • "Hmm." She looked to the mirror across the room. "Or a younger prettier version of me. That part's a little strange, looking in the mirror and seeing myself like this. Though I suppose I'll get used to it." She looked down, brushing her hand up her leg, pushing her dress out of the way as she admired it. My friends who have VIRA are never out 'in the flesh' anymore, and I guess I can see why. Let's see what she.. what I really look like."

        • In one smooth, almost choreographed movement, she sat up on her knees, gathered her dress, and slipped it up and off herself. He'd seen pictures of what she model would look like, but somehow in the flesh it was much more stirring. In just a white lace bra and panties, she wasn't just younger and prettier, her body was perfection. Slim and trim, with just a tiny bit of softness and the most perfect perky tits. After she finished preciously laying her dress onto the bed, she looked towards the mirror. "Ohh my god. She looks like a lingerie model! I look like a lingerie model!"

        • She raised up on her knees, turning her body to see her profile, her hand landing on her hip in the process. She looked so sexy he couldn't help but react. "Honey, you look absolutely amazing. I mean, I don't know what to say. It's not just how you look. There is something about how you *move*."

        • "Ohh, it's working for you, is it?" She flirtatiously ran a hand down her side. "Don't think I don't know the real reason you bought her for me. Janie thinks husbands buy them just to have a sex-robot. At first she was all upset, then we all decided it's better this than cheating with some young flirt. I'm not sure how I feel about it, you getting turned on by a machine." She reached over to the nightstand, picking up the water bottle. They both knew why. One of the most whispered 'features' of VIRA, was her cooling system, most notably the 'cooling reservoirs' and how excess coolant inflated her chest. "But you know what I always say, I'll try anything once, and if I like it, I'll do it again."

        • With that, she tipped the water bottle to her lips, letting nearly a litre of water pour in. In just a few seconds, her breasts inflated from perky yet modest, to more than double the size, pressing together and puffing out the top of her bra. She looked to the mirror again, turning to see her profile, her tits prominently jutting out from her chest. "Well that is a little unnatural. Maybe I over-did it. Ohh well. Let me find that flirtation setting. Ahh, there it is." The change in her posture was paradoxically subtle yet dramatic. She sank down as her legs spread, and she faced him, her arms folding underneath her new massive tits, disturbing them slightly.

        • "What do you think honey?" Somehow even her voice sounded sexy, as there was a little lilt and pause in her words. "Ready to try your sex-robot?" One of her hands turned up, cupping the giant breast, and pressing into it slightly.

    • Act 5 - Behind the Curtain

      • Kenneth wakes up in the corporate apartment, to Jordan making him breakfast. He searches around for any hint of susprise, and then asks her about it. She teases him for being impatient, and tells him 'in good time'. Asks him about his night out with the guys as he eats. He enjoyed it, and hadn't realized how little he'd seen them while he'd been sequestered at the corporate apartment. However, they also spent a disturbing amount of time talking about VIRA, asking about what he did exactly (which he couldn't answer). Kenneth also found it strange to see so many units in retail stores already.. which she comments on casually...

      • After he finishes, she announces 'alright, let's go', and leads him out the door. He's unclear where they are 'going', but she just smiles, implying it's part of the surprise. They take the elevator to the first floor, where there is a car waiting. They get in and the car drives off. He's shocked, because until now her unit was not allowed to leave the corporate premesis. She says that's the first surprise, "she's yours, or I'm yours, or you're mine, depending on how you look at it." (the first surprise? where are we going?) "Where do you want to go? The mall? The movies? drinks with your friends? We can go anywhere." He's happy-shocked, and coments -- until now the whole relationship with her didn't exactly seem real, but somehow it suddenly seemed like a real thing. She suddenly seemed like a real person. / She makes fun of him for being excited about something so little (she's more of a real person), never-mind her being gorgeous, smart, or having other unique *talents*. "or do I need to remind you already." she starts flirting hard, kissing him. Suddenly the car stops, and she stops. "we're here. you're second surprise."

      • Resume in the elevator, where he's pressing her to know why they are in this hi-rise building, as the elevator lights tick their way towards her having pushed the top button. She hangs on his arm and maintains a silent smirk. When they reach the top floor, she leads him out though a wide hallway leading to a single wide french door. She gives him a speech about the company being *very* appreciative how his contributions have made an incredible impact, and having taken the liberty of creating something that they hope will have an equally positive impact on his life. She pushes the doors open, and declares, "welcome to your new home."

      • "Are you kidding me?" He walks into a fully appointed, modern, stylish, and *huge* penthouse apartment. Floor to ceiling glass. Views of the city from edge to edge. "Ohh my god." He keeps exclaiming, as he checks out the different rooms. "This kitchen is bigger than my living room. This living room is bigger than my apartment. There is a wet bar?! Ohh my god, the guys are going to go crazy when they see this. This is really all mine? As in mine?"

      • "She confirms some of the financial details, how the company will provide the paperwork later, but thought it would be more dramatic for her to introduce him to it. They hope you don't mind." He hugs her, briefly lifting her off the ground, causing her to awkwardly stumble and nearly fall over as he puts her down. (a limitation of the robots control. he comments on how they should work on that.) He pulls out his phone, snapping a picture, starting to text his buddies, when she points out that he hasn't seen even half of the place.

      • "What?!?" She leads him down a hallway, where she points out some extra guest rooms, a study/office, and then another set of double-doors she tosses open into "your master suite." It's a huge room, with an unusually oversize bed, a wall of windows to the city, and a door, presumably to the bathroom. He heads towards the door, to find a closet stocked full of clothes, from casual to tuxedos. "Holy smokes. They really spared no expense." Beyond that, is the master bath, an impressively large room, with a huge shower, and a jacuzzi tub that looked big enough to comfortably fit six adults. She hadn't followed him into the bathroom, so he headed back out, to exclaim some more. "This is just too much. I can't believe I live *here*."

      • "Surprised then? That's number two. Ready for the real biggie?" She walked over to the interior wall, towards a small non-descript panel that looked like it could have been heating and cooling controls.

      • "There is *more*? You are kidding me. What more could they have done?" He watched as she pushed what seemed like an access code into the panel. Suddenly, the entire wall split, receded, and started retracting to the sides in a finely articulated motion. Behind it was a bank of screens, and some kind of large metal container. It didn't take him long to realize what it was, though he didn't recognize it's design. "Wow, this looks much more sophisticated than the production recharge stations I've seen." He walked up to it, the screen coming to life as he touched it. It had some kind of access lock on it, though a camera showed an image of him and a computerized confirmation that he was a recognized user. Then the screen filled with a minimalist interface, showing pictures of three different VIRA models, two Jordan, one Angelique, and one classic VIRA.

      • "Ohh, it is not a recharge station. It's a unit selection and customization console. Behind here there's six recharge units and inventory space for many more units." She tapped the Angelique model. "I took the liberty of selecting some initial units for you. I'm sure you'll approve." A rhythmic sound, like steps, could be heard from behind the console, then a sliding door sound, followed by another as the metal door to the left of the console opened. "Say hello to Angelique." Inside the bay, a nearly seven foot model stood. She was a tower of milk-chocolate brown skin, long black hair, and a giant pair of knockers. Her white two piece outfit, skin tight cropped top and shorts, might have passed for workout gear if it wasn't made of lace.

      • Kenneth was both stunned and a little perplexed. He traced his eyes up her body, impressed at the beauty and shape, even as he felt awkward that his girlfriend had just effectively thrust another body-type on him. He liked Jordan. Why was she doing this? Then the goddess-like model spoke to him.

      • "Hello Kenneth, you can call me Sonya. So charming to meet finally." After she took a slow large step out of the metal bay, the door slid shut behind her. "I hope you don't mind that Nicole invited me to share your special day. This is quite a gift the company has created for you. Isn't it?" She gestured towards the expanse of the apartment. Though with her only a foot away, Kenneth's attention was entirely consumed with how the see-through nature of her lace outfit did nothing to hide the plump contour of breasts and cleavage. A moment later he realized he was staring, and his eyes darted away to the room.

      • "Ohh baby. No need to be shy with me. Come here." She moved to embrace him, reaching an arm over his shoulder and down his back, her palm landing on his opposite hip. He quickly found himself hugged up against her, and with her height advantage, one of her giant lace-covered milk-chocolate breasts wedged under his chin and against his neck. "Nicole told me *all* about you, and thought the two of us would give you a *pampering* afternoon." As she seductively palmed his cheek, he was too close to her to see anything but her long dark hair falling over her shoulder and white lace top. "Isn't that right Nicole?"

      • He suddenly felt compromised, realizing the embrace was far too provoking to be comfortable right in front of his girlfriend. Especially the way his hand had instinctively fallen onto Sonya's bare hip. He tried to gently let go, to find his partner. However, Sonya held him firmly. "Not yet sweetie, she's almost ready."

      • He heard sounds from behind, the metallic sound of the mechanical door sliding, and a few steps as Nicole approached. The sounds were enough to confirm what he already suspected, that she had switched to an oversize model herself. However, as she stepped into view, his jaw dropped. The "Jordan" model she switched to was not the typical oversize he was used to, it was at least six to ten inches taller than Sonya! She was wearing a matching black lace two-piece outfit, which was see-through enough to show off every curve of a pair of massive tits provoking him at eye level. He briefly looked down, expecting to see heels helping to help her to tower over them both, only to see that like Sonya, she was barefoot. She posed for a moment, a hand on her hip, as his eyes scanned back up her frame, drinking in every inch.

      • "I told you it was a *big* surprise!" After a dramatic pause, Nicole approached them both, completing the triangle. Her height and proximity was as awkward as it was tantalizing. She was so tall, that when she hugged alongside, her right breast hovered and brushed clear over the top of his shoulder. And she wasn't just tall, she was proportionally oversize, her wide-shoulders and frame felt dominating, and her other breast filled half his view. "Or maybe I should have said *two* big surprises!" The two women smirked and each let out their own soft yet sinister sounding snickers.

      • "Congratulations, Kenneth!" As if to punctuate the moment, Nicole's hand grabbed his butt and squeezed forcefully. The gesture caught him off-guard, not only because it was a little painful, not only because of how large her hand felt palming his rear end, but because what to her had been a casual squeeze caused his feet to briefly leave the ground. It wasn't much, maybe half an inch. In the process he was pulled against her, the side of his face smashing into her breast.

      • "Yes, congratulations Kenneth," Sonya deftly slid around behind him, forcefully grasping each of his wrists. "Let's unwrap your presents." A moment later, Sonya had lifted his hands, reorienting him towards Nicole, and urged his fingers over the ....????????

      • ????? He craned his neck back in his best attempt to meet her eyes, the back of his head landing on Sonya's sternum. It was like a noose was tightening around him, only it wasn't a noose. It was two machines, believable imitations of female perfection, but much larger and apparently stronger than the real thing.

    • Act 6 -

    • Kenneth Arriving at work,

      • VIRA activates, apologizing she was late. She was busy attending to something.

        • Kenneth is despondent. Feeling like the company is doing something really "bad". Putting robots between people. She argues the case of less-able handicapped, being out in the world as full people now. He concedes, but suggests that only makes up 10% of the customers. She makes the slippery-slope argument, that in this world, anything less than perfect is some kind of handicap, and they're taking all that away. He's still not buying it... "Look, trust me, we are helping people. I don't know if you're ready to see this, but here." She shows him a picture of a woman in a hospital bed, with tubes into her mouth and nose, looking very sick. "This woman is able to walk around, because of our product. This woman is able to have a normal relationship for the first time in over a decade. This woman, is me, Kenneth." His jaw drops in shock. "My lower spine was shattered in a car accident. I've been confined to a hospital bed ever since. Without VIRA, I would never walk again, never have a normal conversation, let alone a relationship. And now, I have you!" She flicked her finger off his chest.

        • (kenneth reacts to the shock of learning his girlfriend is actually a paraplegic.) Can you walk or talk? -- "Of course I can silly, I'm right here. This is me now. Mostly anyway, I have grown to think of myself as more of a Jordan because you like her better." He's still a bit in shock. "Look, I didn't show you that to make you feel bad, or guilty. Nothing has changed. I wanted my life back, and now I have it. I feel great that we can give that to others too. But this stuff is too heavy for work chit-chat. Should we open up that control-system schematic, and see if we can reduce the cognitive load?" He was actually relieved for the topic change. She was right that it didn't change anything. He'd never met her in person anyway. Now he suspected he never would. Still, something felt different, and he couldn't put his finger on it.

    • Alterations

      • rewrite to third-person

      • change it so Telemesh bought the Dymostat company. So after recruiting him, he finds out the company already owned his job.

      • change the first "operator susan" scene to be PG-13 tease, with a normal-sized unit, introducing her vaguely as someone "important"

      • ?? how to weave-in some access to what VIRA is doing to change the world outside..

      • ?? should VIRA be a single-look? (i.e. Jordan)

      • ?? should this be more of an iRobot bender? (where VIRA is actually an AI?)
