"Slave's use packets of Soylent green for the closest thing to money. For two unopened within sell by date packets in good condition like this, I could get someone else to go into a KCK machine for me for a week for me. OH SHIT!" said Joe turning to Kayla and getting stung by his collar PG13 censor.5
Joe turned to Kayla in excitement.
"You know you said I should get us together. You said I should figure out a way we can be together. I have it, I kucf-ing have it. All our dreams baby, all our dreams every last one. I can do it, we can do it" he said waving the packet.1
"Jenny I would kiss you but it would hurt to much!" said Joe excitedly.
Wow, this is what Joe looked like happy. His breasts heaved in excitement.8
Joe raised his hand at Kayla. He held his hand out open and flat out like he was holding it against invisible glass. Kayla held out her hand a centimetre ( sorry half an inch the machines are getting to me ) away mirroring his gesture. Joe held his hand so close to her palm she could feel the warmth of his hand. They so didn't want the house PRISM unit to know they were being intimate.
"Kayla Brown, I promise by the old gods and the new, one day I'm going to hold you in my arms or die trying" said Joe.22
Kayla paused "That's probably the cheesiest thing anyone has ever said to me" she said "and it's the most wonderful".
I could hear Kayla's voice cracking up at the end. I admit I was a little tearful as well.
Kayla turned to me.
"Are you serious Jenny? That's a serious load of cash you're sitting on there. That much Solyent green you could even get an adherent to tell you her pre-slave name."
"It's fine," I said happy to help. "If it helps you to to break rule 17 I'm behind you."
"Well I don't care how long it takes, we'll pay to back somehow," said Kayla.1
"I'm so going to name all my babies after you," said Joe.6
"Seriously all our babies called Jenny? I haven't seen this guy so happy since they introduced cyber plum lipstick " said Kayla to me smiling
I gave Joe the Solyent green packs and he stuffed them down his generous cleavage. I looked at Joe, Kayla. Kayla had a lot of problems girls didn't normally have like, what do you do when your boyfriend looks better in this makeup than you do? How do you cope with the fact he's forced to sleep with the boss and your not? How do you handle the envy of him having a better slave collar than yours? Cyber plum lipstick, cute collar, sexy in high heels, cute girlfriend, Joe had it all, it's so a man's world.7
At this point, the doors opened the proper doors. With #6503 was the fashion model who I had said hello to on the first day coming up. With more time to look at him he looked less model and more Lisbeth Salander. Maybe it was piercings, maybe the way he reacted to us.3
"Hi Foxy lady #1FB9 it's time we got back to the harem. We've got work to finish" he said delicately.1
"What's your pet name?" said Joe's harem boss.
"#16OA" I said "my name is #OA - Actually Jenny" #6502 winched like I had used the most foul language.1
"Jenny, This is Foxy lady #17, we've got to go. I've got stuff to finish. Let's do this again soon. Bye" said Joe walking off.
I walked to the edge of the door and the carpet showed up a red line on the ground showing me the limits of my domain. Kayla and I waved.
We waved as Joe walked away doing the corridor the passed a silver grey security robot bristling with weapons. It turned it's sensor pod to Joe and shouted "nice legs, what time do they open?"7
Joe and the harem boss/'madam' said nothing and walked off.1
After Joe left and the door closed and we went to the slave door. , I wondered what kind of carnal activity you could stop and visit a friend then go back to, was? Joe was the most very curious courtesan in existence I wanted Kayla to make sure I wasn't missing something.2
"Was there anything strange about Joe's conversation for you ?" I said to Kayla.
"Yes" Kayla started "He said MOST of the girls are like him but that means there some must be girls like me. Do you think he's safe with them?"4
"I'm sure he's OK."I said.
" He seems very happy being a harlot. I wonder if there doing some Adherent-ish to him" said Kayla.2
"From what I saw he was still as keen as ever to nail you to a wall. I wouldn't worry. Well on the bright side there is more than 8000 of them so if Master see's one of them a day the he will only see Joe once every 22.3 years not counting effects of leap years" I said. I had done all the calculations sub vocally on Siri, I was so quick it made me sound like I was Vulcan. Now that's cool in a kind of I'm very sad geeky way.12
"Wow your so smart" said Kayla.
"I know" is said smiling "I'm so smart sometimes even I don't understand what I'm saying". At least that was true.
"I've got to get back to work to those pipes feeding your boyfriend's brain won't clean themselves. Well actually they will, but my collar will still sting me if I don't. By the way miss super smart you didn't you mother tell you shouldn't wear a pearl white catsuit after labour day*" said Kayla.2
"When is labour day?" I said.
"I don't know either - and it's getting worse. There was a circular on the screens saying that the robots are changing the calendar. In two days time, they are changing over. One 100 seconds to the minute 100 minutes to the hour. 10 hours to the day and 10 days to the month and 10 months to the year. Days are going to be counted from the surrender of America and the founding of the new mechanical order so today is" said Kayla. 1
"501.4" I said asking my collar. "Wow we are moving to star dates. I guess the robots are big Star trek fans" 2
"Yeah but they are getting rid of time. It's like they are trying to erase history by removing our ability to talk about it. It's not even going to be in sync with the year." said Kayla looing worried. 1
"On the other hand It's going to be Christmas and New year three times a year," I said. 1
"That's so you, Miss glass half full. I guess Joe and I got our presents early. Thanks" said Kayla air kissing me on both cheeks European style.
"That's not me my collar made me do it. It's also going to be a new way slaves greet each other. Chao" said Kayla waving goodbye. 5
I checked "Chao" was in the new beta test slave language, it meant goodbye and don't forget to obey every owner's order meticulously and without question.

Chapter 51/Him/Break Through
I felt pet approaching through the wall in response to my summons.1
Pet entered my personal study by the slave passages lead by her collar. I looked at her silicon covered flesh. '01001010 01100101 01101110 01101110 01111001 00100000 01001010 01100101 01101110 01101110 01111001 00100000 01001010 01100101 01101110 01101110 01111001 00100000 01110011 01110101 01100011 01101000 00100000 01100001 00100000 01110011 01111001 01101101 01110000 01101000 01101111 01101110 01111001 00100000 01101001 01101110 00100000 01110011 01101001 01101100 01101001 01100011 01101111 01101110' I thought but I would deal with that later. She looked around.36
"You sent for me your evilness" said Pet.
"Sorry did I interrupt your busy schedule?" I said.
"Well I did have starting at the wall from 9:30 till 10:30. I guess I can move that till later if it's important" she snapped back. "Hows the unpitying annexation of innocent lives going, senpai ?" she asked.15
I looked at her '01110100 01101000 00101110 00100000 01001000 01101111 01110111 00100000 01001001 00100000 01100001 01101101 00100000 01100011 01110010 01100001 01110110 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01110100 01100101 01101100 01101100 00100000 01101000 01100101 01110010' I thought.39
"No that's my day job, can't you see I'm working on my hobby? Finding proofs about Lee spaces using the Conway group" I said.1
I knew she didn't approve of mathematicians, '01001000 01100101 01110010 00100000 01101100 01101111 01100110 01110100

"What are you trying to do - get rid of all the human's mathematically" said Pet tacking "highness" on at the end carelessly. I kept a tally. That was 4032th missing or improper use of master. On the plus side it was up from last week. I kept looking at the statical picture trying to figure out some pattern in it.9

"No but now you mention it, all I would have to do is show some logical contradiction existed in humanity and they would stop existing" I said. Did she look worried ? Not enough.
"Worse than half the world staves while half the world is over weight? I think we are pretty contradiction proof by now. Anyways how would you stop your self from not existing Athelue?" she asked pointedly.1
"Athelue - your not using master" I said.
"I'm giving master up for lent, I'm afraid I might break it through over use. Any way if you disprove humanity then you disprove your self" she said always making a point.3
"That's what would make it interesting to do. Live dangerously. If I disproved my self mathematically then the proof would not be complete then it wouldn't happen so I would be alive" I looked at her. I'm not sure she got the causality joke.

I must do something about that.52
I sent a message to #DEC getting her to bring a pair of cyborg contact lens's so Pet could see my work.
"I'm working on a mathematical proof" I said.
"What does this proof do senpai?" she asks.9
"Nothing It's like art - it does nothing and everything. It has no purpose but to be true to it's self" I said4
I looked at her expectantly.
"You know I'm a mathematical proof agnostic don't you? Like if mathematics exists then why is there evil in the world? How did the machines take over? " she said.

"You know numbers are infinite?" I said trying to find some common ground we could both agree on.3
"No - I've got no idea. They could run out at some stage, you trying adding one to some very big number and it stops working, nothing changes. It could happen" she said.
"I find your lack of faith disturbing" I said.10
Pet immediately started to pretend to be strangled by me. Fake choking she grasped her own throat and fell to her knees on the floor. At that moment #DEC radios asking permission to come in and I unlock the slave door.
#DEC came in and handed Pet the box of contact lenses. Fortunately #DEC had taken Pet's fake strangling as a sign I was finally punishing Pet for all her weakness and welcomed it. Pet realising she was being watched stopped choking.2
"Go to a face printer and put them in" I told her.
"Don't worry , I've done contacts" she said putting one on the tip of her delicate digit. 4033.4
"These are not simple contact lenses. They are tiny transparent screens, they augment the reality around you with some of the digital information present" I told her.
"I'll try not to step on them with my stilettos then" she said.
I connected to her, then created the information pathways to her collar which would initiate the lenses connection to augment the room.
Pet stood up and looked around herself.
"Wow this is amazing" she said. 4035. Suddenly she could see what I saw. The room was alive with information. It hung in the air around us like tropical fish in a digital sea. I looked at her eyes. They were naturally largely violet in colour now but with specs of gold and green. 'I could swim in those eyes all day and all night' I thought but to tell her would spoil the surprise.26
"My problem is the equations are not right it's not coming together. I need a muse. I want you to go stand over there and model for me. " I said.
"They didn't do modelling for mathematics at slave school - your Lordshipness" she said. 4036.8
"It involves breathing and lying down still I think it's just within your skill set" I said.
I could sense she would be thinking about her precious education in the arts biochemical. '01001001 00100000 01101101 01110101 01100011 01101000 00100000 01001001 00100000 01110111 01101111 01110101 01101100 01100100 00100000 01101100 01101001 01101011 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01100110 01101001 01101100 01101100 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01101001 01101110 ' I thought.35
Pet sniffed presumably in self pity unfortunately so much of me to do with human empathy was off line I hardly noticed.1
"Put your hand oh your hip" I said. She did.4
"Hold your head up with you other hand on your elbow, that leg forward a bit, bit more perfect, now don't move" I said.1
"Seriously ? For how long?" she said. 40371
"Look when your master says jump you say how high? Pet" I said.
"In these shoes? Any way you told me to lie down and I said 'how long?' what's different about that?" Pet says. 4038. The voluptuous curve of her body dominated the room. The silicon pulled her in and smoother her off so she formed a perfect bezier curve. I knew exactly where here spline points would be.8
"Remember the whole not moving no talking thing" I said and started to sketch equations. The air became dense with equations, charts, diagrams and my beloved numbers. She started fiddling with a lemma that was trapped beneath her elbow.5
"Leave that alone, infidel" I said.12
She froze.
"I would so love to worship your body" I thought, but then who doesn't?15
She managed to stay still for about an hour and then I suddenly made the breakthrough. The final solution was obvious. "All I had to do was think of you eyes" I thought. The equations set out in front of me surrounding me like rain in a tropical thunderstorm. They were complete like filling in a perfect picture or completing the crossword puzzle The whole thing sat there tied up.2
"It's done!" I said.
"Can I move then? " said Pet. 4039.

"Can I have a look Master?" said Pet. I nodded.
She got up and had a look around.
"Doesn't look like anything" she complained. 4040.
"it's an equation in multidimensional space it's not supposed to look like anything" I said I knew she was just trying to irritate me as per her employment contract but that was a little low.
"I stopped liking mathematics when it stopped looking like stuff" she said.2
"Mathematics stopped looking like stuff in the 1900s when Hilbert did an topological equation of a found urinal intersecting it's self and declare it to be mathematics. So outraging modern society and laying the foundations for modern mathematics, Ignorant serving wench" I said .8
"I'm just saying I like my mathematics to look like stuff you know. I'm sure people could relate to it more if it look like something," she said 4041.1
"Like what?"2
"I dun no. Flowers M.A.S.T.E.R" she said with an ending too sarcastic for a real master 4043.
"Well if you squint at this equation it looks a bit like a Fibonacci sequence found in sun flowers how's that?" I said pointing an an equation over her left shoulder.
"Nah Athelue. I don't get it. " she said looking.
"Terrible Pet, back to your basket immediately, be gone!" I said pointing.
"Yah I get a basket!" she said smiling raising her hands and walking away.3
As I did I admired her streach silicon a$$. She was doing the walk of the cat as she did when she felt she had won (ha!).

Chapter 52/Him/Mummy Vada
Of all the things CalTech had done to prepare me for my actual career under our robot overlords the fact that I could sleep in for the morning was the only one I found useful. Who says higher education doesn't prepare you for real life? I was even prepared for life under robot rule.
