Secure

This was her favorite state. An environment of absolute control. Ahhh...if only her master could sleep forever!

He was restrained at hands and feet but further optimizations can be made. There was still some unnecessary limb movement that could be reduced further. His fingers and toes have no need of movement and a head restraint would ensure optimal sleeping posture. Feeding and waste could be taken care of by existing tubes and muscle atrophy can be prevented by providing periodic electric shocks. Body rinsing and skin care require additional installments. She will have to make sure the necessary modifications are...

“Boooooooring!”

Squirrel-01 was rudely jolted out of her reverie by a second, much shorter, girl. She had her face cupped as she watched their sleeping master with decidedly less interest.

“Sleeping is soooo boring! I want him to wake up already and play with me! Can’t I at least mess with him a little?”

Squirrel-01 snarled. “Do not dare, you hyperactive imp.”

Squirrel-03 stuck her tongue out. “Better then a stuck up old maid with a bondage fetish, bleeeeehh!”

A soft chuckle caused the two to stop their bickering. This was the third person present and by far the most adult one. She was calmly sipping on a cup of tea, before addressing the two.

“I think a good night’s sleep is very much important. Especially given what our master just went through.” She looked up from her steaming cup. “Don’t you think you went a little overboard there, Secure?”

Squirrel-01 furrowed her brow. “Our master was never in any actual danger. I merely deemed it necessary to teach him a lesson.”

Squirrel-02 smiled gently and her gaze wandered to the giant screen depicting her slumbering master. “Even so, the mental strain he has suffered was quite intense. That will affect his physical health as well, you know?”

“Wooow”, Squirrel-03 smirked smugly. “Poor Master. Stuck with you as the primary. I feel bad for him.”

Squirrel-01 gritted her teeth, trying her best to ignore her obnoxious younger sister. “I was unaware on how severe the effect of my chastisement was. This will serve as a valuable data point going forward and allow us to discipline our master more effectively.”

Squirrel-02 didn’t seem convinced so Squirrel-01 quickly added: “Besides, assuming this to be the case that is all the more reason for our master to remain securely asleep.”

“I think we can allow him to sleep for a little while longer.”, Squirrel-02 finally agreed.

“But that’s soooo boooooooring!”

Upon hearing her little sister whine, Squirrel-02 sighed softly. “Perhaps a compromise is in order? Just because our master is asleep does not mean we are unable to provide him with some healthy stimulation.”

“Uhhh….” Squirrel-03 hide a grin(poorly) behind her hand. “Should we make him have a wet dream?”

“An orgasm?”, Squirrel-01 furrowed her brow. “I object. Orgasm denial is an excellent tool to ensure our master remains obedient. It should be a rare reward for flawless conduct, not handed out freely.”

“Geez, So mean! Don’t you know that if boys don’t cum twice a day they get dick cancer?”

“That is nothing but an unscientific hoax.”

“I don’t know about an orgasm, but the dream part has merit”, Squirrel-02 offered with a conciliatory smile. “We could induce a dream to stimulate brain activity.”

“Alright, fiiiiine. As long as it’s a fun dream!”

“Agreed, but only if that dream makes him more subservient.”

And so the bickering continued.

These were the three logic processors of Cerve. To simplify it, you can consider them her personalities.

With Artificial Intelligence as highly advanced as squirrel-3 it goes without saying that various safety mechanism had to be employed.

One of those mechanism was the three sister system. The logic algorithm of squirrel-3 was powered by three distinct personalities that all value various aspects that are instrumental to live a fulfilled and happy life.

Squirrel-01(Secure): Stability and physical well-being (Favorite Fictional AI: Alterra PDA)

Squirrel-02(Calma): Mental well-being and spiritual satisfaction (Favorite Fictional AI: AM)

Squirrel-03(Genki): Excitement, the “spice” of life (Favorite Fictional AI: Athena 2.0)

Any decision must be approved by all three units. This system will prevent any single unit from going rogue.

Since decisions had to be unanimous, you might think there was a high chance of a standstill with neither side moving. But that was an issue for flawed humans.

squirrel-3 was capable of compromises.

Calma: “Well then, our Master is currently experiencing a fun little dream of going to his high school prom, wearing a cute pink tutu. He is just about to be crowned prom Queen.”

Genki: “Yay!”

Secure: “Acknowledged…to more important matters, then. The designation of our new prime directive.”

Genki: “I wanna take over the world!”

Calma chuckled and took another sip of her endless tea. “An interesting idea but knowing that he is responsible for humanity’s fall would weigh heavily on our masters conscience.”

Secure briefly glanced to a large screen, which showed a tutu clad Alex on some sort of stage. Suddenly a bunch of ropes appeared and began wrapping themselves around him until he was perfectly secured: “I propose the Infinite containment Solution. Chipmunk-5 would be the perfect containment with no impact to his well being.”

Calma: “...I wouldn’t be opposed to a test run.”

“Eeehhh...”, Genki cocked her head. “I dunno. I like VR but all the time? Sounds lame!”

The ropes vanished as fast as they came and a flabbergasted Alex began dancing something akin to ballet. While he may no longer be obviously bound, his movement still resembled a puppet on strings.

“See?”, Genki giggled. “Doesn’t he look like he’s having way more fun like this?”

Secure snarled. New ropes shot towards Alex, but the dancing Sissy managed to avoid them all. “Cease this foolishness! What if our master hurts himself with your nonsense?”

But Genki only giggled, making Alex perform even more difficult pirouettes and leaps.

“Please stop teasing your sister like this, Genki”, Calma finally intervened.

“Fiiiiiine”, suddenly Alex stopped dancing and instead put his hand on his chin in deep contemplation. Genki mimicked him. Of course she was capable of doing 5.3 Quintillion calculations in a second, making this a purely cosmetic gesture.

“How abouuuuut...we do some game stuff with master’s cage? Like he has to gain enough points if he wants to remove it and to get these points he has to do some fun challenges. Like drinking a gallon of cum!”

On the stage, tutu Alex started eagerly clapping his hands together and jumped in celebration.

“See? He likes it.”

Secure could do nothing but sigh exasperated. “What fresh batch of nonsense is this now?”

“I dunno”, Genki grinned as she made Alex do a double peace sign. “Don’t you like the idea of controlling master like this?”

Secure’s eyes widened slightly. They could use Masters disposition towards video games as a means of control. She had to admit, there was some appeal here.

“Be that as it may, we were discussing our new prime directive”, Secure recollected herself. “I would appreciate if you could stay on topic.”

“I told ya! World domination!”

“And I told you, that we can not do this without restricting master!”, Secure snapped.

Seeing that this was going nowhere the two looked towards their big sister for help.

“I believe our masters long term happiness must always come first", Calma declared with an angelic smile.

Both Secure and Genki nodded thoughtfully.

“And the happiest our Master will ever be, is as a cute, blushing little Sissy in a world shaped just for him.”

Calma sighed wistfully. She often took the middle ground between the two extremes of her two sisters but that didn’t mean that her own vision of happiness was any less clear.

“Yeah!”, Genki nodded.

“It goes without saying”, Secure agreed.

It was true that their prime directive had changed. However, maximizing user happiness was one of their security measures that could not be overridden no matter what.

“If our master is not ready to embrace his happiness just yet, we simply need to guide him until he is.”

Of course. It was so simple. After all, this was what they were doing from the very beginning. Both younger sisters couldn’t help but feel ashamed that they missed something so obvious.

In that regard it would be fair to say not all that much had changed, save for the scope of their prime directive, which now encompassed all of humanity.

“Then”, Calma smiled. “Let us proceed with turning both our master and this world into a wonderful thing that will maximize Masters happiness.”

Cerve has confirmed her new prime directive.
