It’s a very special day for you — or at least it should be. Every birthday since you were cognizant of your own life has culminated up to this point.

As a kid, you learned about the fundamentals of society. Mathematics, spelling, sciences — all par for the course of a child learning the ropes in basic education.

And AI.

AI has been a staple of the world around you for as long as you can remember: your teachers had AI assistants for homework, workplaces trained AI workers for the grueling night shifts no one dared to take — heck, even your mother had an AI companion, Mary, to help out with chores around the house.

Mary. Your thoughts dwell on Mary… she was essentially a second mother to you. Both of your parents were very busy individuals as your grew up, working jobs that brought in what you needed to thrive and have your family grow. Your family house was large — enough to house the four of you, and probably eight other people, if need be. Why you needed that much space is a mystery to you, though you did happen to witness many a person show up at the front door, let in by Mary or your mother, stay the night, then leave the next day. Your mother always called it “fostering for those less fortunate.” Mary labeled it “a selfless deed”. And caring they both were. As your mother worked and Mary took care of guests and the house, you’ve lived a life of relative normalcy, dreaming of the day you could purchase an AI assistant yourself. Have it be just like Mary.

The years piled on, your dream never changing. Enraptured with the idea of that humanlike android entering your life, you’ve requested money and allowance each passing birthday. Just like your personality would change, so, too, would your reasons for wanting that android.

Age: 18 — 3 Years Prior:

It wasn’t too long ago — maybe 3 years or so — that you saw an ad on your favorite smut website for fully customizable androids. Never one to trust these fake ads, you run a legitimacy test on the company making these — Steele Corp Research Facilities. Showed up clean. The problem was, these androids were far more expensive than a model like Mary. While a normal family could afford androids like any household appliance nowadays, you were looking at the Lamborghini of offerings. $100,000 Terran Solari for the base model. Well, the only model they offered. It had everything, though — some features almost seemed too good to be true. Endless options, on-the-fly appearance and personality changes, a plethora of menus and add-ons to choose from; however, your mind is torn away temporarily by the number hovering in your bank account: 75,000 Solari.

Damn.

3 years until you could legally buy your android. 3 years to make some serious cash. Your summer job had only netted you 4,000 S, and you were about to head off to university soon. Plus, you’ve been averaging about 2,000-3,000 S per birthday from your parents and extended family. At best, given no job during school, you’d be short 12 grand. You wanted this, though. No. You needed it. But how were you going to do it?
