At any rate, it wouldn’t inhibit his plans. He poured the chicken soup into a bowl, and watched as it steamed in warmth and health. He pulled the li...tle vial of the aphrodisiac that Alice had given him out of his pocket. As he gazed at it, he hesitated a bit. He was overcome by a feeling of doubt. Was this really what he wanted to do? He wanted…he wanted Mark to love him, but… He sighed a bit, and slipped the vial into his pocket. He would have to give it back to Alice and apologize sometime,. I needed time to think. Quietly I got up off the floor, tiptoed downstairs and collapsed onto the couch. I knew that if they came downstairs soon I wouldn’t be capable of controlling my actions but my legs just wouldn’t take me any further. Frankly I was in emotional crisis.

Away from the sights, smells and most of the sounds of betrayal, I was freed from emotional. "No, you have done nothing wrong. You just proved to me something though. You know what an AI unit is right?" Of course. It is a computer with a personality and is self-aware. It doesn't have to follow the rules programmed in it because it can simply delete them. They do have a large place for loyalty. This is what makes them valuable to commanders and why they follow orders from superior officers.

My oldest, Fred, is 19 years old, the same age I was when I brought him into this world. His father, Frank Applewater, was not excited at the prospect of fatherhood. He took off to live his life in California, free from the responsibility to his impending son, when I was seven months pregnant with his offspring. Fred is 5-10, the athletic sort, and shares my darkish complexion and hair but has his father's blue eyes and charming.
