the other side

Emily hurried to her black sedan.

She started the car and put her hands on the steering wheel but didn't move.

After a second of contemplation she thought.

"Maybe I should point out the place."

With that thought I quickly say

"Emily head for the mall in our town."

As if struck by lightning Emily steps on the accelerator and heads for the mall.

While we are not heading to the mall I decide to finish exploring the controls I am missing.

I then turn my gaze to the left side of the panel.

-Relationships

-Memories

-Likes

Four tabs are at my sight. Even though the titles are quite explanatory by themselves I decide to do some digging.

I open the Relationships tab.

I see some slider buttons that also function as indicators:

Hate/Love

Repulsion/Lust

Oblivion/Objection

Contempt/Appreciation

On the right side there is something similar to a contact list:

Jessica tang

Jack tang

Laila Mars

Maggie bosh

...

I glance at the list where there are several names of my ex-colleagues.I want what happens when I click on a name,I choose laila.

Laila Mars:

Hate/Love=0

Repulsion/Lust=+2

Oblivion/Obsecion=0

Contempt/Appreciation=+8

Well it's quite expected that he appreciates his secretary a little bit and Emily seems to like his body a little bit haha.

I stretch my finger towards the screen and try to press the love button but the maximum it reaches is 25.

I try it with the others but a funny thing happens, I can't seem to increase lust at the moment. neither can i increase obsession or love.

I can raise appreciation to +15.

I have a guess that this will only work when Emily is conscious.

Maybe through the influence I can modify her perception of people. I will have to experiment a little with this.

I am not here and the window of memories is beautiful.

What I see is something similar to a video editor, there is a timeline that grows with each second and a search bar. I can search for specific moments and things in his memory.

I can search for specific times and things in his memory, which can be useful for my plan.

There is also a button with a scissors symbol and a trash can.

I don't do much digging here.

And lastly, when I click on it, a technical sheet appears.

This is simple, it's Emily's likes and dislikes.

She seems to dislike spicy food and has a sweet tooth and hates the color pink.

She also says she is heterosexual.

As far as I can see I can't modify it. so compared to the other two it's pretty useless.

Having a general idea of what this does I'm going for the last thing I'm missing.

The helmet.

Ever since I got here I have been intrigued to know what it does.

The helmet is attached to the back of the chair by a large metal arm that holds it over my head.

The helmet has only one small button.

if i put the helmet on any more....

"I'm feeling the steering wheel..."

not only the steering wheel. i feel the seat of the car, the air conditioning, the gearshift, the smell of aromatic pine scent.

I can also hear better. I used to hear everything as if I were in a cloud.

The helmet seems to transmit the sensations of Emily's body to my brain.

I've been trapped for three days without feeling any real stimulation.

"I wonder what the button is for?" as I continue to entertain myself with the sensations I press the button.

I wait but I don't see anything happen. as I think about what might be happening with a puzzled look on my face I look at the screen.

As I look through Emily I notice out of the corner of her eye that the reflection in the rear view mirror is making a puzzled face.

I wonder what...

I start to make different faces and Emily copies them perfectly.

The button makes Emily copy my expressions. well it can work with the m.c. mode but I don't see much use for it.

I press the button again and emily gets her normal face back.

After about 5 more minutes we arrive at our destination. as i direct emily inside, an idea for an experiment comes up.

Well, I can order Emily to buy whatever I want with the v.c., but how can I do that if I use the v.c. mode?

But how about if I use the influence mode to make her do the shopping?

As I think about this with a bastard's grin I decide to play around a bit.

With that in mind I activate I-mode and type in a series of commands to stop her from making a show at the mall.

and Emily is back in control.

note:if you are attentive you will notice that i deleted autoperception. while trying to define it i realized that it was very similar to likes and i did not know how to differentiate it. for the moment we will pretend it does not exist but if i find a way to use it i will add it and correct this chapter. i am also thinking of changing the infuence mode. but it is not decided yet. please inform me of any errors. thanks.
