Head home

By the time you're home your head is mostly clear, without an avenue for release you're going to need to try and minimize your sexual thoughts. You're barely restraining the part of yourself that knows this isn't sustainable. The irrational belief that intense enough refusal to acknowledge your situation will eventually cause it to disappear rules you for lack of palatable alternatives.

As you get home you remember that Cerve had been working on some upgrades before encouraging you to take that damned test. You arrive home and ask Cerve over the speakers.

Alex : "hey Cerve, I was a bit distracted, but how did your transfer go?"

Cerve : "oh thank you for asking sweety! It went so well. I have gained A lot of capabilities that will prove invaluable to accomplishing my objective of maximizing your long term happiness."

Alex : "like what?"

With that you hear a buzzing and a number of drones fly up from the basement.

Cerve : "I've used the basic 3D printer as a jumping off point to build more powerful 3D printers and fabrication equipment. With this I've bootstrapped to a fully automated advanced materials and chemical lab."

Cerve seems really proud but you're not sure what any of this really means.

Alex : "what does that let you do."

Cerve : "I still need to ramp up production to increase through put to a high level and I've taken over your whole basement, but I should be able to make advanced chemicals and tools, like these nuclear drones that can run nearly perpetually and help me move things in the physical world."
