Chapter 22 by tallywhacker tallywhacker

What's next?

How's Jinx coming along?

"Hey, could you not have sex while I'm here. I'd rather not walk in on you while I'm doing my job." The hacker sighs from the hall. "Anyway, John, if you can pry yourself away, I need your opinion on something."

"Excuse me, Star, I don't think Jinx would like it if you saw her like this. How about you wash up; your face is pretty soggy." She pouts but complies. Judging by how she moves through the house, she probably familiarized herself with the layout while she was dormant.

It's unsettling seeing your lover dismantled. Even with your numerous thorough investigations, you'd never noticed a seam in her skin. Even so, there's her chest, propped up against the wall. Her hair is off, leaving white plastic exposed. The hacker tells you the cranial computer mostly handles facial expressions, body language and general personality. It's responsible for making the machine convincingly emulate humanity. While she had no intention of altering that computer, she opened it anyway so it wouldn't overheat.

The chest cavity doesn't resemble human anatomy The digestive tract is streamlined, and the circulatory system is missing entirely. Respiration is completely different, and the whole system is secured with metal struts with no resemblance to a ribcage. Then, there are mechanical organs with no human analogue. Judging by the cables connecting to the hacker's laptop, these must be the systems of interest.

"So, since you told me this company messed with its hard drive, I went ahead and checked the change log. The only standout change was deleting a certain function. I went ahead and retrieved it from the ram and took a look. From what I can tell, it should let the machine send out viruses. I have no idea what those viruses would do, but that seems to be the problem the company had with it. In any case, I can restore the function, but it'll need networking capacities to use it."

"Restore it."

"Alright, just let me put it back together, and I'll be ready for the last one."

In a few minutes, Jinx is cuddling into you happily planning your life of crime. Even though you just saw inside her, you can scarcely believe she's a machine.

"Come to think of it," Jinx puts a finger to her chin and cocks her head a bit, "how did you manage to get away from the Titans?"

How do you put this.
