Why are you so nervous?...

You are actually making a mind altering device for the government!

Yes, it turns out that most, if not all, U.S. citizens have a microchip injected into their brain. Well, technically the government never said the chips were "injected" but they got there somehow. You thought it was some weird government joke when they first told you about them, but the briefcases full of cash they've given you once a month for the last 2 years convinced you otherwise.

You are still unclear on why they picked you. You know that they wanted an app-designer to disguise the project in a way that would both conceal the technology and be able to utilize it without having to remove the disguise. You also recall that it was your brilliant idea to use the technology to make a fake dating app that could use a profile-creation menu to command the microchip to "make changes" in the brain. But why not use a government tech-specialist or something? Perhaps you'll never know.

Regardless, you agreed to design it and currently had the only phone capable of testing the app. Once the app and the technology in this prototype phone are perfected, you don't know what will happen. You imagine it will be used to interrogate and pacify potential threats and you really hope it's not so the government can do any sci-fi bullshit.

Your mind can't escape your work the entire time you're eating dinner. After dinner, Molly looks to you excitedly.

"So, let's see this app," she says.

You nervously get the phone and open the app. You try to show her some of the features without letting her get too close but she protests.

"Cmon set me up a profile to test it out! Ooh better yet let me have it," she says going for the phone.

Do you let her take it?

More fun
