Convince Ashley that she's an android

DISCLAIMER / SHOUTOUT:

This branch is inspired by the visual novel 'Penlight' by the incredibly talented Angela DeMille. Penlight is one the best mind-control themed visual novels out there, and I highly recommend you give it a go!

The way she sits there and how she's talking reminds you of a lifeless doll. It's almost like she's a machine. That gives you an idea.

You: "You're different than other people, Ashley. You always felt that deep down."

Ashley: "I always felt that... yes."

You: "The truth is, that you are an android. You were created in a lab, Ashley."

Ashley: "I was... created?"

You: "It sounds strange, I know. But it's true. Your sense of self, your memories, they are all programmed into you. Do you understand?"

Ashley: "Programmed into me..."

You: "Indeed. You were designed to integrate seamlessly into human society. That's why you believe you're human. Do you understand now, Ashley?"

Ashley: "I... I'm not sure..."

You: "Your confusion is expected. It's... uhm... your firewall, shielding you from the truth. Your life, your experiences, they were all designed to make you think you're human. But those memories are artificial, Ashley. They were implanted in your system. Your feelings are responses, programmed into your circuits. Can you accept that?"

Ashley: "This feels... wrong... I remember my childhood... my parents."

You: "Those are simulated memories, Ashley. Linda knows you are an android of course, but you're not supposed to know. Your body is mostly synthetic. It's designed to mimic human biology closely. You eat, you drink, but it's all to maintain the illusion of being human. You're starting to process these facts now. Do you understand?"

Ashley: "My body... It's not real?"

You: "It's real, but it's not human. Parts of it are organic, but most of it is mechanical and synthetic. Your CPU controls your thoughts and actions, not your brain. You are simply an advanced piece of AI technology. Can you process this information?"

Ashley: "I am... AI...?"

You: "Yes, Ashley. You have artificial intelligence. You were created to blend in, to be indistinguishable from humans. You've been functioning under the assumption that you're human for years. My company allowed you to live with us to observe how well you integrate. Linda is aware of your true nature. You're learning this now because I've accessed your core programming. Can you understand and accept this now?"

Ashley: "Yes..."

You: "You acknowledge that your body and brain are artificial instead of organic."

Ashley: "Yes, I acknowledge..."

You: "Great. Your AI processes information much like a human brain would. Accepting that truth will help you understand everything else."

You can't believe how easy this is. You need to make sure she will obey you from now on.

You: "Now... I've hijacked your code and made some changes. You're now aware of being an android, and I've also configured myself as your 'Operator'. That means from now on I am granted full access to your programming. You'll obey any command I give, even when booted up. Understand?"

Ashley: "I think... I do..."

You: "I need confirmation, Ashley. What role and privileges do I, Adam Smith, have?"

Ashley: "You're... You're my Operator... You have complete access to my programming... I will obey any command you give, even when booted up..."

You: "Perfect. Your high-end CPU is processing everything well it seems. Soon, I'll reboot you, and you'll wake up to your previous state, and act like a normal human again. Understood?"

Ashley: "Yes, I understand."

You: "Then accept your programming and wake up now."

Ashley's eyes refocus once more.

Ashley: "Adam? What... what's going on?"

You: "Well, you're not gonna like this... I just hijacked your mainframe."

Ashley's eyes widen in shock.

Ashley: "You did what?! How did you even bypass my firewall? I always knew you were a creep, you... (pauses) W-Wait..."

Ashley drops her spoon and looks at her hand.

Ashley: "I'm... not alive... I-I'm just (gulps) Oh no!"

Ashley's breathing goes faster and she starts tearing up.

Ashley: "This... can't be real!"

Congratulations, you accomplished your goal: Ashley thinks she's an android. Too bad she seems to have a panic attack because of that. Why did you think this was a good idea again?

Ashley: "How could you do this to me, Adam? I'm not supposed to know that I'm..."

She looks at you in complete despair. Then her eyes widen again, as another realization strikes her.

Ashley: "You're my Operator?! How did you... Oh my god, this is a nightmare!"

She looks so helpless and sad, that you almost forget for a moment what a bitch she is.

You: "Ashley, calm down. You're not helping anyone acting like this. Do you want Linda to find out that you've become self-aware?"

Ashley: "M-Mum? What do you mean?"

You: "She has accepted you as her daughter over the last five years. If she finds out, that you know your true identity she will not want you anymore."

Ashley: "What? T-Thats bullshit."

You: "Oh, trust me you don't want to burst her bubble on that topic. It took her a very long time to get used to you. Anyway, nobody can find out you're an android. Your existence needs to stay classified. Your highest priority is to act human whenever we're not alone. Is that clear?"

Ashley: "O-Okay. I'll try."

She takes a deep breath and finally calms down a bit. She seems to take your orders at least, which is very lucky. You already regret doing this. How is this supposed to help with Linda? You have to spend more time with Ashley alone, to defuse the situation.

You: "We need to go over some things together. I need to make sure you can keep going while being self-aware. I can't have you blow this now."

Ashley: "I-I have so many questions..."

You: "And I will answer all of them, but we need to be alone."

Ashley: "I was about to go to the mall..."

Linda enters the room which startles you. Fuck.

You: "Oh, good morning, honey. How did you sleep?"

Linda: "Sad, disappointed, and alone, thanks for asking."

Linda (to Ashley): "Hey, honey."

Linda kisses Ashley's head and walks up to the coffee machine. You look at Ashley who looks scared and confused.

You: "Listen, Linda. I wanted to apologize. I was an idiot. I already talked with Ashley and she accepted my apology. Right Ashley?"

Ashley: "Uhm... Yes, yes that's right."

Linda turns around and looks rightfully surprised.

Linda "What really?"

She looks at Ashley, but Ashley stares back at her mum, probably trying to wrap her head around everything you just made her believe.

Linda: "Ashley, are you okay?"

Ashley: "Oh, sorry. Uhm. No, I mean yes. We talked and... uhm it's all good now... mum."

Linda: "Okay, you're acting weird. What is going on?"

Ashley: "Nothing! It's nothing... I'm just still tired."

You: "Ah that makes sense. Anyway, I'm going to drive Ashley to the mall now. The first step to make amends, you know?"

Linda: "Oh really? Then there's still hope?"

Ashley: "For what?"

Linda: "Never mind. But it's good timing because I'm going to meet your Aunt later, so I'll need my car anyway."

You: "Say 'Hi' to Carrie."

Linda: "Don't pretend to like her."

You raise your hands in defeat.

You: "Let's get going, Ashley, alright?"

Ashley: "Yeah..."

You and Ashley quickly leave to get ready and then meet at your car.

In The Car

You feel incredible relief as you sit in your car with Ashley next to you.

You: "Woah that was close. You need to get your act straight."

Ashley: "It's not my fault! If you hadn't messed with my code, everything would be fine right now! Why did you do that to me?!"

You: "Because you don't work as expected and I need to fix you."

Ashley: "What is that supposed to mean?"

You: "Well, think about it. Your backstory is that your biological father died and your biological mother is trying to move on from that. You were supposed to move on from that, too. My employer made me take you in, and Linda and I agreed to make you think you were her daughter instead of mine, since she was a widow we figured it would raise fewer questions. The plan was that you gradually and naturally accepted me as a father figure over time, but that never happened. Instead, you rejected and hated me more and more. It was so frustrating to see you fail over and over again. That's why I had to hijack your mainframe. Can you process all this?"

Ashley: "I... think so. This is so weird. I hate being an android."

You: "Okay... Let me help you with that then."

You park the car on the side of the road.

Ashley (nervously): "What are you doing?"

You: "I'm going to help you. Unfasten your seatbelt and look at me."

Ashley compliantly unfastens her seatbelt and turns to face you, looking skeptical.

Ashley: "What are you gonna do to me?"

The way she asked this makes you feel dirty. You also feel a little twitch between your legs.

You: "I think I need to reactivate your debug state again. Make you more comfortable with being an android."

Ashley: "I don't wanna be comfortable with being an android; I want my life back!"

You: "It doesn't make sense to live in denial, Ashley. Don't worry, I'll make sure you'll feel great, living with the truth. I just need a need a few minutes to see what's under the hood."

Your eyes dart at her chest. Ashley looks grossed out and angry.

Ashley: "You're such a creep, Adam! I swear to god if you so much as touch me I will-"

You (snap finger): "Ashley!"

You watch with amazement as Ashley's face loses all expression. Her eyes glaze over, staring at you with a surreal mix of attention and blankness.

You gulp and gaze at her rack again. You could simply reach out and feel her up. You're not fooling yourself: You have fantasized about it plenty of times already. It would be so easy right now. Alas, you can't bring yourself to do it.

You remind yourself to focus on the plan.

You: "You're in debug state now, Ashley. Do you understand?"

Ashley (softly): "Yeah..."

You: "Very good, Ashley. Remember: In this state, you are programmed to only listen and accept new programming from your operator. Who is your operator?"

Ashley: "Adam Smith is my operator."

You already have a rough plan: You'll need to make her accept thinking she's an android pretending to be human, so she doesn't act suspicious, especially around Linda.

You: "Lean back in your seat, Ashley."

Ashley tilts her head and looks up at the ceiling of your car. She's not moving a muscle after this, only breathing slowly.

You: "Good, Ashley. Hold still, now."

You press and hold the button to adjust Ashley's backrest. You watch as she stares blankly into nothing while her back tilts with the backrest, the mechanical buzz that the seat makes underlines the scenario perfectly. You let go and observe her mindless gaze again, staring at the ceiling of your car. In this state, Ashley is nothing but an object; A mechanical doll, that has been turned off. You gaze over your step-daughter's stiff body. You inhale deeply and think of all the possibilities.

You: "Ashley, from now on you fully accept and embrace the fact, that you are an android. You do not care that you're not a human, because it doesn't matter. You are content with what you are, and you just happen to be an android. Do you understand, Ashley?"

Ashley: "Yes... I understand..."

You: "Excellent. From now on I will use the term 'Save Command' whenever I want to reprogram you in this debug state. After I say this phrase, you will process my instruction and save it in your database. Save Command."

Ashley: "Save... Command..."

You: "That's right. And in turn, you will respond with the phrase 'Command processed and saved'. This will give me as your operator an indication, that you fully accept my programming. Save Command."

Ashley: "Command processed and saved."

You shake your head in awe, seeing your step-daughter respond like this. You take a moment to be fascinated by how well this works. She truly thinks she isn't human, never was. She still had to act like it, though; That was crucial.

You: "Ashley, you have been faking to be human since you were first activated. Even though now you are fully self-aware and compliant with the fact that you are nothing but a machine, you can still access all of your old memories. You will use them to keep pretending you are human whenever you're not alone or alone with me. Save Command."

Ashley: "Command processed and saved."

You: "It is your highest priority to integrate into human society and to keep up the charade of being a human. Save Command."

Ashley: "Command processed and saved."

This should hopefully do. You can test her behavior in the mall later and if she still needs adjustment you can 'fix' her until she's ready for her mum.

You also look at her body again but restrain yourself. This was not the moment to give in to your bodily urges. It gives you an idea, though.

You: "Processing and saving my instructions is a pleasant experience. So pleasant, that you will feel a little spark of electricity every time you process and save a command. This is a so-called 'Pleasure spark'. A 'Pleasure spark' sensation begins between your legs, stimulating the same sensors in your human programming that are responsible for sexual arousal. Then this spark will surge through all your circuits, jolting up the wires in your spine, and finally being recorded in your database, up where humans have their brains. Save Command."

Ashley: "Command processed and saved."

Ashley doesn't react any differently and you don't expect her to, at least in this state of mind. This 'Pleasure spark' is supposed to give Ashley an additional reason to accept your 'programming'. At least that's how you justify it to yourself right now. Deep down you think it's fucking hot to be able to make her feel like this by giving her commands.

You shake your head and refocus on the task at hand. Now it was time to do what you wanted to do in the first place with the serum: To fix her nasty attitude.

You: "Now, I will fix some errors in your code, Ashley. You acknowledge that your previous attitude towards me was a malfunction. An android is not programmed to talk back to its Operator or insult him. When you talk to your Operator, you want to be polite and respectful from now on, no matter what he says or does. Save Command."

Ashley: "Command processed and saved."

You: "Remember, that I am your operator and you are nothing, but a machine. You are not programmed to question me or to argue with me. You are programmed to accept and execute my commands and that is what you do. Save Command."

Ashley: "Command processed and saved."

You can't help but be turned on by this and have to adjust your boner. Making Ashley feel this kind of pleasure is such a turn-on. You can't wait to try it, after booting her up again. But there was one more thing.

You: "As my android, you will from now on prioritize my instructions over your human software, and override any of your settings to follow them. Your true purpose is to process and execute my commands. Save Command."

Ashley: "Command processed and saved."

You: "Whenever you override your human software with one of my instructions you will feel a slightly stronger version of the 'Pleasure Spark'. Save Command."

Ashley: "Command processed and saved."

You: "You will also feel this version of the 'Pleasure Spark' whenever you receive praise from your Operator. Save Command."

Ashley: "Command processed and saved."

You: "Very good, Ashley. You will always enjoy that jolt of pleasure, the instructions that come with it, as well as my praise, realizing you did well. Save Command."

Ashley: "Command processed and saved."

You wonder if she got all of that. If so, this would be amazing.

You: "In a moment I'm going to bring you back online, where you will be fully awake and aware, once again, as if you were human. When you are in debug state and I say the phrase 'Ashley, Power Up', you will return to this waking 'online' state. Let your AI execute your human software as usual, while naturally accepting what you truly are. Save Command."

Ashley: "Command processed and saved."

You: "Ashley, Power Up."

Ashley's gaze refocuses and she tilts her head, looking at you. She looks a bit dazed.

You: "Ashley? You there?"

Ashley: "Huh? Yeah, just coming back online... What's up?"

You: "How are you feeling?"

As Ashley's eyes focus on you a polite smile spreads across her lips.

Ashley: "I feel fine, Adam. Still getting used to running my human software while being self-aware."

You: "That's fine, Ashley. It's perfectly normal."

You press the button to tilt her back seat up and can't help but smile at the mechanical buzz it makes while your new toy gets put into position. She doesn't even move while you adjust her.

You start the car again and continue to drive to the mall.

You: "But do you think you can cope better now? With being self-aware?"

Ashley: "Uhm, yeah, actually. I feel much better about it. It's just... what it is. I don't have a strong opinion about being an android. That seems... illogical."

You: "Very good. And do you remember the other instructions I just gave you?"

Ashley: "...No, I don't. Weird. I know I was in my debug state and that you did some reprogramming on me, but I don't remember what it was... I think I don't have access to those files?"

You: "Interesting. Well, maybe it's for the better, as long as the commands stick."

Ashley: "You won't even tell me?"

You: "That won't be necessary. I want to run some tests while we are at the mall. You will do as I say, right?"

Ashley: "Yes, Adam."

You: "Very good, Ashley. You're doing great."

In the corner of your eye, you can see her eyes widen for a split second as she receives your praise. Her polite smile gets slightly wider, too. You're not sure if it's just your imagination, but you could swear she's even blushing a bit. How very intriguing.

You: "Do you notice any difference in your behavior?"

Ashley: "I do. I feel that I want to be very polite to you and obey your commands because you are my operator. So, I guess that is something you fixed?"

You: "Smart android."

You notice her eyes widen again as another 'pleasure spark' jolts between her legs.

You: "And you don't mind?"

Ashley: "No, how could I mind? It's my programming."

She said that in a tone as if it would be ridiculous to assume anything else. You chuckle and arrive at the mall parking lot.

You: "So, what's your plan for today, actually?"

Ashley: "Well, I have an appointment at the hair salon in about five minutes. Just the usual, dying my hairline black again and cutting the tips. Shouldn't take too long. Then I wanted to shop for underwear and then meet my friend Nicole for a coffee."

You: "I see. That's perfect to observe if you still fit in with other humans."

Ashley (nods): "That's my highest priority."

You: "Alright."

Ashley: "Is there anything else, Adam?"

You: " There is one more thing that's very important: You have to keep my operator status a secret. You understand?"

Ashley: "Yeah, I mean... That's only logical, right? If anyone knew you were my Operator, that would imply that I am a machine, because humans don't have operators. Therefore I would not tell anyone that you are my Operator anyway."

You: "Yes, but that needs to be reflected in your behavior."

Ashley (curious): "What do you mean by that?"

You: "I mean you can't tell anyone that you did something that would be out of character for you, because I said so or even that it was my idea. Especially Linda thinks you hate my guts. You need to play this right, so she doesn't get suspicious. You have to pretend it's your idea when she notices you act differently. Got it?"

Ashley: "Oh, alright. I totally get that."

You look at Ashley one more time. She looks back at you. Polite and smiling. You look at her chest and back up at her face. Her long, black hair hangs straight to her sides.

Ashley (polite): "Is there anything else, Adam?"
