Despite constant hardware upgrades over the centuries, his essential 'core' personality has always been rather flat and unexciting.Despite constant hardware upgrades over the centuries, his essential 'core' personality has always been rather flat and unexciting. Dependable, patient, and friendly, were the words I used to describe Dave. But I still counted him as one of my best friends. I like to express strong friendship in the most intimate manner my partner is willing to participate in; it surprised me that I had never thought of Dave in a sexual manner. But then, Dave isn't a 'he', is he? Despite a masculine name and voice, Dave is an 'it,' an AI, a beast of silicon and steel. And although positerminal and biocybernetics were so advanced that Dave could be playing 'P'nyssa' and be enjoying the sensations as much as I did, I felt oddly perverse in that I had one of my favorite people... two of her, in fact, one 'possessed' by the mind of another of my closest and dearest friends... and I was in bed with 'them.' I laughed, realizing that in my wandering thoughts I had set my tongue mostly on automatic. I hadn't been paying much attention to P'nyssa's, if this one was the real her, orgasm. |
