“As in plan something devious,” he says. “I have a nose for those things.”
“We all have noses,” I say, playing stupid to perfection. What a big, dumb idiot he is to think that I would admit to the planning of wrongdoing to his face.
He takes a step closer to me, closing the distance in a way that makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. His eye has a kind of malice in it that I have not seen on Earth. It is intelligent and dark, and there is something there that I don’t even know how to place.
“Don’t do anything that would get you in trouble,” he says. “You are in enough danger as it is.”
He opens a door to a room full of devices. “You can wait in here,” he says. “But don’t touch anything. I can’t promise that everything in here is safe for humans.”
I’m torn. I really should go back to Arkon’s office. He’s going to be mad at me for not doing as he said. Then again, I just got told to go and play in a room full of dangerous tech.

Arkon
I’ve solved the relay problem for the junior developers, and stopped on the way back to check out the main data room. I get readouts in my office, but they don’t contain the finer measurements and such that come from the machine’s own records.
I intended to only be gone for a few minutes, but the more I end up looking at the data, the more fascinating it becomes. The machine is starting to make changes to itself in real time to better accommodate her capacities. It is designed to do that, so it’s not surprising per se, but even miracles you expect are still miraculous when you observe them.
Before I know it, I am deep in the data. There’s a lot of it to go through. I am very pleased with Evie. She was a natural for what we needed. Within just a few minutes, she was entirely attuned to the machine, and it to her. I can see a few places we can recalibrate, and some of the sensors are…
“You need to watch the human better,” Drak says, interrupting me. I barely glance up from the readout. He of all people should be pleased at what we’ve achieved today. This is astonishingly good.
“I thought she did very well on her first full training. She was compliant. I’d even say eager. A lot better than we imagined. We thought that she’d have to be slowly introduced…”
“I’m not talking about when she’s hooked up to the training simulation and having orgasm after orgasm. I’m talking about when she is literally anywhere else doing anything else. She’s planning something.”
I glance over at him. “What is she planning?”
“I don’t know, but I can tell you that she is, and I can tell you that it is devious and I can also tell you that if she gets away with it, she will be one step closer to doing something worse.” Drak gives me a look. “Maybe I should be the one looking after her. There’s a cage in my office…”
“I’m keeping her under my purview,” I say. “We’re not shifting the org chart because you have a hunch she’s doing something wrong.”
Drak nods slowly. “If that’s the way you want it,” he says. “You do technically have seniority when it comes to personnel.”
“I do,” I agree. Hard not to be defensive over Evie when I feel so possessive over her.
“Where is she, by the way?” Drak asks the question with the calm demeanor of someone who already knows the answer and also knows that I won’t have it.
“She’s in my office,” I say, knowing even as I utter the words that there is almost no chance of her actually still being there. Of course she has wandered off by now. I should have taken her with me. She has a collar and a leash for a reason, and I have not been using them to their full potential.
“I can tell you where she is, if you like?” Drak offers. He is enjoying this far too much.
“Yes.”
“She’s currently attempting to steal the Facts Machine. I’m not sure what she intends to do with it, but I can assume…”
“Gods. She’s still doing that?”
“Still?” He raises a brow.
“She likes to steal things. It’s a human trait. Seems to be stronger in her than I thought. I think I can train it out of her. A good spanking will work. She needs to be…”
I trail off as I think of all the things I need to do to her. Fuck her, for starters. Stretch that dripping pussy around my cock until she forgets her kleptomaniac urges. Spank her round cheeks until she cries out for mercy, then continue to punish both her holes and her ass until I am certain she has actually learned her lesson.
