Prof. Mark
Hello Luke.

Luke
Good afternoon Professor, it's a honour for me.

Prof. Mark
Forget it, let's get straight to the point.

Luke
Sure.

Prof. Mark
What you see here is nothing but one of the many Nanotech labs. There are many other similar ones around the world, belonging to other companies. But what we are researching in here is something unique.

In fact, we are carrying out a series of experiments aiming to create a real artificial human being.

Luke
Wow...

(Monologue)
This explains everything... Tanya said she was a prototype! She could be one of those experiments. But how did she manage to escape from here? It's virtually impossible! Maybe she comes from some other lab.

Prof. Mark
I know you do not morally agree with these kind of experiments.

Luke
Well, no, actually...

Prof. Mark
And what if I offered you the opportunity to cooperate with me?

Luke
Me... working with you on this project?

Prof. Mark
You are one of the most brilliant minds in the whole company. Your salary would be doubled. But you must not talk to anybody about your new job. Not even to Tom or Helen.

(Monologue)
Uhm... seems like he knows many things about me. I don't like this!

Luke
Well, I don't know... it's actually a great opportunity.

Prof. Mark
You don't have to decide now. You can think about it until tomorrow, but then you'll have to give me an answer.

Luke
Okay, I'll think about it.

Prof. Mark
Maximum secrecy. There are bigger interests than you think behind this project. If you talk about it to someone, unpleasant consequences may occur.

Luke
...

Prof. Mark
It doesn't depend on me, believe me. I'm just warning you! I don't want you to make the same mistake that I did.

Luke
You were talking about a mistake before...

Prof. Mark
What?

Luke
You said you don't want me to make the same mistake you did. What are you talking about?

Prof. Mark
... It's a personal matter. As you can guess, I don't want to talk about it.

Luke
Uh, as you wish.

vbZE7.jpg

Luke
But how does it work, exactly?

Prof. Mark
You'd remain in your office, normally. Another clerk will do your work, undercover. Then in reality, you'd be working on my project from your office.

Luke
Without ever visiting the lab?

Prof. Mark
You'd have access to the lab, but only during closing time, so that nobody can see you coming down here.

Luke
I see... then I'd have to do more working hours.

Prof. Mark
Sure, that's why the pay is double.

Luke
Okay, I don't have any other questions.

Prof. Mark
Good. Let me know your decision. But now, go back upstairs.

Luke
Yes. Goodbye, Mark.

Prof. Mark
Have a nice day.

We return to work

Today I'll have lunch at the internal canteen, so that I'll be able to be alone for a while, to think about what to do next. I don't know why, but I'm almost afraid of meeting Helen at the park! Fuck... what a shitty situation...

I'm sure that sooner or later she will bring up the living together topic...

...and how can I say no to her this time?

I go back to my office, and I finish my working day.

(Monologue)
I am about to go, when I receive a call from Tom.

XWQLN.jpg

Tom
Luke...!

Luke
What do you want? I was about to go home!

Tom
I am very sorry, I hope I didn't get you into trouble with Helen...

Luke
Eh? What did you tell her?

Tom
Ehm this morning...she video called me at home, when she coundn't find me in the office...and she asked me about you...
She wanted to know if there was a reason why you treated her so badly...

Luke
So badly!? What is she talking about...

Tom
I...I told her about Tanya...

Luke
Tanya!? And what do you know about it?

Tom
That's the point, I don't know anything about it...but yesterday in the office you were dreaming and you mentioned that name...

Luke
And you went to tell Helen!! IDIOT!!

Tom
I am sorry...it slipped out!

It seems shit is starting to hit the fan

Do not accuse him, we don't want to completely break the main character... Yet.

Luke
I can't believe it.

Tom
Listen, this morning I wasn't feeling well, I was confused by fever...

Luke
And you had the great idea of creating a mess between me and Helen?!

Tom
I'm sorry!

Luke
Bah...If I didn't know you were really so stupid, I would think you did it on purpose.

Tom
I swear I didn't mean to!

Luke
Okay, I believe you. You have no reason to lie to me.

PLv1h.jpg


:hmmm:

Tom
Listen, Helen is not stupid...she just wants to know where she stands! But she loves you for real, trust me!

Luke
...

Tom
Just tell her the truth, whatever it is.

Luke
Yes, as if it was that easy...

Tom
By the way...I also want to know who this Tanya is! What does she look like? Blond, brunette? Does she have a nice ass?

Luke
...I'm going home. Bye.

Tom
It was a pleasure talking with you, my friend!

(Monologue)
Damn it!!! I have to think carefully about what I tell Helen tonight...for sure she will show up at my place again! Or maybe would it be better if I went to her place...

Let's turn Tanya in again at the Police
:troll:


Let's head home, hopefully this will turn into something majestic.

Hmm I don't think is a good idea going there right now. I should go to see Helen instead.

:hmmm:

I arrive in front of the building where Helen lives. I try ringing the videophone.

Luke
Helen?
Helen, are you home?

VUKyO.jpg

Helen
Yes.

Luke
May I enter?

Helen
...

Luke
Please!

Helen
No!

We'll pick the option that causes the most potential drama

Luke
Don't you want to know who Tanya is?

Helen
...

Luke
I know that it was Tom who told you about that. He told me.

Helen
Is she your lover?

Luke
No. If you let me enter, I'll explain everything to you.

Helen
...

(Monologue)
Without saying a word, she opens the door and I go up to her flat.

It's much smaller than mine, a real single-room. But it has an enormous bedroom.

(Monologue)
Helen is wearing a night gown...and she is tremendously sexy! But...she is crying!

Luke
You look marvellous...don't cry...

Helen
Who is she then? Speak!

Luke
Ehm, let me explain...

Tanya is a...a robot.

Helen
...are you crazy? What are you talking about?!

Critical failure!

Helen
Listen, go away! Of all the possible excuses, this is really the worst you could find!

Luke
Look... it's true!

Helen
Go away!

Luke
But Helen...

Helen
I beg you...go now. I don't care who Tanya is.

(Monologue)
Unfortunately, there is no way I can convince her. After all, it would be difficult even for me, believing such a story...!

Tanya
Where have you been?

Luke
Why?

Tanya
It's very late... I thought something had happened to you.

Luke
You were waiting for me... So you were worried about me?

Tanya
...no.

Luke
Are you sure?

WnjUe.png

Tanya
Well ok.. A bit...
But only because you're my cover.

Luke
Yes sure...

ArtPY.png

Luke
You know, I have a question going through my head since yesterday, but I didn't have the time to ask you...

Tanya
And that is?

Luke
Yesterday when I came, you were taking a shower... why?

Tanya
Why not?

Luke
But you... are a robot! Or something like that.... What sense is it for you to take a shower?

Tanya
I feel the same pleasure as humans. And I get dirty like humans, you know?

Luke
...

Tanya
I don't like feeling dirty.

Luke
Uhm, I understand.

a2PnS.png

Luke
Forgive me if I insist, but... why are you wanted by the police?

Tanya
I already told you that I don't want to talk about it.

Luke
But what is your plan!? You can't stay here forever!

Tanya
It's better if you don't know, trust me.

Luke
...

Tanya
It's late, go to bed.

Luke
Ok then... goodnight.

Tanya
Goodnight, Luke.

Luke
...

It's strange. I got the sensation that she wants to tell me something. Like back in high school... when I used to go out with a girl and we were alone there was a moment of silence. During those seconds, the strangest ideas passed through my head-

(Monologue)
Tanya's soft lips touched mine for a few seconds...!! She...she kissed me!?

Tanya
Forgive me... I don't know why I did it.

:hmmm:

You've just been spurned by your girlfriend/would be fiancee. What could possibly go wrong with flirting with a death-bot?

Your fiancee turned you out of her bed. That means you've got moral high ground and can flirt death-bots with impunity
