《Draugr Cell //Layer 01-- Investiture:》Prologue

"Good morning." The sultry voice greeted as soon as my eyes opened.
"Hmmm hey." I grumbled, "Gimme a bit to wake up."
I was instantly awake and alert as always, so it was a little white lie. I need to think.
"As you wish."
I rolled onto my back rubbing sleep from my eyes, my mind immediately going over the events of yesterday. You ever have something happen to you that just didn't feel as though it were based in reality? I'd spoken and otherwise dealt with AI before last night of course, I'm not some kind of box boy. Hmm. Look here it is...
Apparently my great grandfather was a kick ass programmer. He was one of the early innovators in the 1970's or 80's developing machine learning software for the express purpose of creating AI applications. He also apparently kept his best toys for himself.
Today in 2075 AI is everywhere, but never had I encountered any robot, android, cyborg, fuck not even the vaunted personal assistant applications are anything like... her. I rolled over to look at the monitor she had claimed as her own, the image of a cute asian girl smiled and waived excitedly at my glance as she brushed her teeth. It took a moment to figure out she was using the monitor as a reverse mirror in her 'reality'. She was... perfect. No, not in that way... okay fine, who am I kidding? In that way as well, the shape of her breasts in the light cotton shirt she was wearing bouncing lightly with her movements.
Okay, get your head back in the game... what was I saying... oh right! What I meant was that for the human interface of a piece of AI software she was far beyond anything I had ever seen or heard of, there was nothing like it on the market today.

The term 'uncanny valley' is well known, even today. Typically the term is used when talking about android or AI that had been designed to replicate human appearance, it basically meant that people were freaked out by them. There is just something about human biology that let you know there was always something... soulless about them. That certainly wasn't a problem here.
I'd have to deal with her, it, later. Otherwise I was gonna have either a pissed of Brianna or Lexi throwing me out of my room. I threw back the blanket and sat up on the bed intent on starting the day and looked around on the floor for my pants.
"Can I ask you something?" She enquired. I'm suddenly unsure if she had a preferred name, but I was only now realising I hadn't asked her for it yet.
I looked up at one of the secondary monitors above my desk. She was still in her virtual bathroom having finished brushing her teeth and was levering herself up on the bench and standing on tip toes to look down at me as though looking through a window. Which I suppose from her perspective she was.
"Sure. Why not." I mumbled, completely disinterested.
A few seconds of silence after granting her wish drew my eyes to her monitor, she wasn't looking at me, not exactly. The tracking of her eyes was a little off, not unless she was looking at...
"You obviously find me attractive, why didn't you wanna room with me last night?" She pouted, her eyes flicking up briefly to my eyes then back down, she licked her lips.
I had absolutely zero intention of jumping into a virtual reality environment that I had no control over with what appeared to be a very intelligent AI. Even if it was gorgeous. That was just asking for trouble. With a frown I tracked her line of sight, straight to my morning boner. Apparently my great grand daddy was a horn dog. I half chuckled and stood to collect my jeans, her eyes widened and she had a wicked grin, she motioned at me with a come here motion of a finger tip. The AI's face quickly changing to a mask of disappointment as she lowered herself and mumbled something I couldn't quite hear as I pulled up my pants. She spun on her heals and headed for her bathroom door, the 'camera' tracking her movements panned to her standing in the doorway.

I shook my head with a grin, the 'light cotton shirt' she was wearing? An exact duplicate of what I had on yesterday when we had first met. The sunlight shining through an unseen window in her world was perfectly positioned to silhouette her body, showing that she wasn't wearing anything else. The bottom of the shirt lifted just enough to display a very cheeky view.
In appreciation of what was on offer my eyes tracked up her shapely legs and over the perfectly presented thigh gap, the bald lips of her sex only just barely visible beneath the hem of the shirt. My hungering gaze continued over the curve of her rump and shapely hips, along her slender back to the sides of her breasts, the side boob visible from behind indicating, in my mind at least, they were of the perfect size. Dragging my eyes up to her face her long pink hair in pony tails fought briefly for my attention, she was watching over her shoulder with a teasing look. She winked when our eyes met.
"Going for a cold shower. Back in a bit." I rolled my eyes and grabbed my towel.
The AI's girly giggling chased me from the room.
