"I see you took some creative license"

John couldn't stop himself from chuckling and shaking his head. He looked back at Holly with a huge smile on his face. "Really? THAT is your first reaction to it?"

She looked back at the fountain and zoomed out, looking at the market as a whole. "Alright. I gotta admit this looks fantastic. Probably better than I did on my first three or four attempts at building things in here." She turned back to John and nodded with a soft smile on her face.

"Then what do you want me to do next?"

"Well for now," she looked at the watch on her arm, "you can log out and get some rest. It's getting pretty late already."

"Aw man, really? I was kinda having fun!" He looked like she had just told him he couldn't ever eat food again. Was he really that dedicated?

"Alright. Then I'll give you a task that I've been struggling with for a bit since...it's not the aspect of this that I am knowledgeable about." She led him over to a terminal in the corner where the window showed a small room that looked like it was a developer sandbox area that only they could access and test whatever they needed to. She tapped a few keys on the keyboard and two figures appeared in the room.

The one on the left was an existing model of Tifa Lockhart that had circulated for a while. She stood there in an A-pose stance with a blank expression on her face and dressed in her default white tank top, short black skirt, thigh high black stockings, black undershirt , fingerless black gloves, arm guard, and red boots. John had always loved the attention to detail in the model and knew it would end up in this game at some point.

The figure on the right was a much less detailed but still well made model of Nathan Drake from Uncharted. It looked like the person that made the model had focused a lot on getting his body done correctly but not so much his clothes since it looked like they were too baggy, inaccurate, and just looked wrong. Luckily for John, he was more focused on Tifa anyways.

"So...what do you need me for. The models look alright." John kept his eyes glued to Tifa as he spoke to Holly, imagining her without those clothes on.

"Well, I need you to be my programmer and beta tester." She takes a deep breath and lets it out before she details what she needs. "To put it simply, the AI that comes packaged with the Axiom is terrible. Some model makers made their own AI for their models but they're still pretty bad. Tifa here, since I can see you staring a hole in her clothes, is fantastically made physically but has no AI other than a few simple sex acts in a couple positions, moaning and a few lines of dirty talk. Nathan is even worse." She taps the terminal and the models disappear. "So, I need your help creating a program that will pull in information about the character, sound files from their games, etc. and make realistic AI for any model we want or need."

In his head, John was freaking out but he just started laughing his ass off on the outside. Once he composed himself, he saw Holly looking at him confused and upset. "There's no way! There is ZERO chance that this stupid project I have been working on for months is something you are asking me to do."

"WAIT! You have something like that?!"

He stopped laughing. She was serious! "Hold on! Let me import it into my headset and I'll bring it in."
