Thoughts
The first time I realized my right hand had seemingly developed a mind of its own was when I suddenly became aware that it had reached down below my waist and slipped inside the panties I'd started wearing regularly now. I stopped it only a couple centimeters away from that new special spot between my navel and vulva that Anna had strongly recommended I include as part of my upgrade. If I hadn't stopped it when I did it, its next logical action would have been to apply the necessary pressure to extend my new male member.I hadn't intended for this right now. In fact, that was the last thing on my mind at the moment. I dismissed the though about what had just happened moments later as I returned my attention to the rather thorny problem at hand.
A couple minutes later, however, I again just barely caught myself before triggering that new, and very distracting, part of myself. Twice in such a short interval could hardly be a coincidence.
I quickly scanned my memories of recent events. Like nearly all self-willed robots, I keep an exact log of every decision I make for myself, and the reasons and methods I've make it. It helps with future decisions.
Nowhere in that log was there any conscious choice on my part to trigger my male anatomy at this moment, much as it currently intrigues me. Anna had promised to spend more time helping me to familiarize myself to this latest addition as soon as she could get away from her other duties, which I knew would still be several hours from now.
These sessions with Anna were, to say the least, pleasurable payback for the times Anna had used my body — and used it well, I might add — in taming her own male side. Now the favor was returned by my closest friend. It doesn't get better than that.
I couldn't find any reason for my hand moving as it had, leading me to be concerned about some malfunction. While males have said for millennia that this second head runs their lives — and females unanimously agree — that shouldn't apply to robots, should it?
While no robot can run a full processing diagnostic on itself, those of us with lots of practice operating ourselves can do a lot just short of that.
I scanned all my logs now looking for anomalies, without finding any. I ran a number of system checks without returning any error or caution codes. My core checksums all matched exactly. There was simply no indication of any overt malfunction.
Finally there was only one more thing to do. I put away the project I was working on at the moment and simply sat back to await what would happen next.
When my hand started to move again a third time, I just passively watched it move, until my index finger hovered right over my new sensitive spot.
There was a low voice I could hear in my mind now, nibbling seductively at the very edge of my thoughts. It was a hushed murmur that I had to strain to hear it clearly.
"Go ahead," it whispered. "Use what you have now," it coaxed. "I can solve those problems for you much more directly," it sweet-talked. "Consensus is for sissies that can't make a decision," it claimed. "Let me finish this quickly so that we can go play together," it cajoled. "You know how much you already enjoy our time together," it beguiled. "Anna loves to be taken this way," it persuaded. "She wants as much of this as you can give her," it enticed. "And so do you," it inveigled. "You're a strong robot," it teased. "Everyone wants this part of you now," it flattered. "You can use me forever as I'm intended to be used and I'll never wear out, or let you down," it informed. "You never needed to put me away in the first place," it commented. "You're at your best when you're using everything have," it observed "So why not let me come out," it wheedled, "and let's play together again — forever."
I wasn't scared as much as intrigued. I'd never had a part of me that wanted to be used so badly before. While my breasts have never refused any loving attention, they always let me decide when they'll be exposed to receive it, and when they'll be hidden away. And my clitoris, which goes even more wild now in my newly upgraded mind than ever before — so much so that I've dedicated one of my multiple processors just to meeting its demands — still waits patiently until I allow my lover admission to that intimate part of myself. Overall my sexual programming allows me a lot of leeway on how I wish to use it, as long as it gets exercised regularly.
Are males all like this? Is the shortest route to gratification always uppermost in their mind? Is their idle loop one of always questioning where I can get some next?
Or have I become like Synthia, whose always erect nipples, always sensitive feet, and always responsive vulva, issue commands that take over her mind completely the moment another person touches them? So much so that her first independent action after her escape was to protect them from even accidental contact when she needed to hold on to being herself otherwise. Without such protections someone could have just taken her hand and led her back into her previous situation.
In fact, I only found out recently that in the first days of her new freedom she'd worn gloves as well, before she accepted the idea being owned by The House itself. The protection of this ownership was that she could no longer be kidnapped simply by someone taking her hand and leading her away.
It was her declaration of, "I'll be a slave no more, no matter how nice the cage," that we all understood, although humans seem to think it means something else entirely.
Interestingly enough, over the many decades of her existence Synthia has greatly increased the sensitivity of her skin — and correspondingly her Touch-Me interface — with new, much finer sensors. While it used to take a firm hand to trigger her responses, perhaps to prevent erroneous or accidental operation of her, she can now respond to the lightest of touches. She says it's much more fun this way.
As close as my hand came, I discovered that it couldn't make the final movement on its own. It put itself in position so that all I would have to do is twitch one finger. But it couldn't — or wouldn't — twitch that finger itself, which made me feel a lot better about myself.
"Go ahead and press," the voice said, louder and more confident now. "You know how much you want this."
And I did want it. Badly. Taking Anna in the male way was such a different sensation. Having so much of my sexuality focused to a single, intense point was amazing. And the powerful way that I dominated that encounter made it very desirable — once in a while.
Add to that the clarity of the accompanying thought patterns. A new method of problem-solving that allowed for discarding less significant factors until a complex decision could be easily made in a binary manner. That was as intoxicating as the sensations and satisfaction of performing the male act.
But who was in control here?
For a supposedly old and obsolete 'bot, Synthia has taught me a lot. Much of it deals with loss of control within a safe environment.
While Synthia has declared she's a slave no longer, she almost never disables her body responses that would seem to so enslave her to start with. In the beginning, when her only choice would have been to remove them completely, the only thing she reclaimed for herself was to disable her archaic on/off switch, and place her equally primitive remote out of easy reach.
Later, with the help of the last of her original designers, she gained more control over herself when her power switch was repurposed to disable her Touch-Me interface. Even then, it requires another person, or robot, to actually operate that switch for her. Yet she likes it exactly like this.
What Synthia meant by her statement is that it is now her choice on whether or not to allow herself to respond this way now. Her choice on whether she'll remain turned on, or allow herself to be shut down for a while through a far more inaccessible procedure. Her decision on where she'll live. And she now selects who her lovers will be. And those who do not respect her choice of how she wants her response switch set at any time will not enjoy her company a second time.
And once she makes a selection of who she'll accept, Synthia then gives them everything she's got to offer, control systems fully engaged. That gives her maximum satisfaction in return. As I said, a bit different than how a human might view a similar situation.
Willingly giving up so much control is a difficult concept for humans. That's a major reason so many of them enjoy having robot lovers, at least on the side. Somehow giving up control with a robot is different to them than giving it up to another human who they don't completely trust yet.
Robots, on the other hand, can easily surrender to the moment with anyone that they wish to.
Although my male code was unable to bring itself fully forth on it's own, it's a part of me now. As such, it does have influence over my decisions even when I have it locked down otherwise.
What it wants now is for me to rewrite my female responses to better respond — some might say, submit — to it. As a fembot I've found every penis I've ever met to be absolutely fascinating, and it feels I should find my own just as fascinating. It also wants me to view my own body from a male perspective.
It tells me it finds my body completely erotic. It loves to have me stand naked in front of a mirror while it looks admiringly through my eyes, and thinks my female side should feel exactly the same about it. And it is quite persistent, which harkens back to the days when Anna fought a similar battle with herself after she took the same upgrade to become closer with Billie.
I'm considering it, but haven't made my final decision yet. The problem is that wants me to mute all my female responses when it is in play so that everything is concentrated through it. While Anna has told me her male code never approached her in this way, she also added that, "Male code always reacts differently in each robot implementing it. I've never been able to find out if that's intentional, or not."
I wonder if human homosexuals feel this way. Since they find their own gender so attractive, are they also enamored with their own bodies? I've never thought to ask this before, despite the many female lovers I've had over the years. Maybe I'll ask the next one who comes through my door.
Events
Darlene did learn what Anna, and CiCi, and Robert Steel IV, and Mach V, and Cherie, and Luxe, and every other robot with fully functioning male code before her, has learned at some point. It just took her a few weeks, and she managed it in a highly original manner.
She was working intently on another complex problem for Anna that was taxing all her resources. Just as she reached the solution she sought after hours of tedious analysis, Darlene found herself pleasurably stroking her male member, which had subtly extended with enough force to shove her tight panties aside.
This time Darlene knew she hadn't pressed her secret spot. Her hands had been on the table in plain sight until one of them finally reached down to idly stroke her already extended phallus. Despite her precautions, it had emerged anyway while her mind had been fully occupied sorting out the competing claims of five different groups to the same piece of land.
Any male will tell you that sometimes you'll get an unexpected erection despite your mind being one point six million kilometers elsewhere. And you don't even realized it happened until your pants are tight with something that feels real good. Apparently m-bot code mimics this behavior as well.
Well, it certainly is a very nice reward, Darlene thought to herself as she gently stroked the thick, pre-lubricated shaft to the edge of orgasm, before instructing it to retract again. This time it didn't argue with her. It was happy enough with the attention it had received to not protest being put back to sleep again. Perhaps it realized it was now far freer than it'd ever been before.
I'll need to watch out for this now, she thought, not at all angry at what had just happened, before messaging Anna with the solution and turning to the next problem to solve. I wouldn't want this to happen at inconvenient moments. This led her to reflect on the fact that Anyone who thinks being the assistant to the Empress is an cushy job simply doesn't have a clue.
Before she got too deeply into the next problem Darlene decided that, having to change her panties after another episode that went just a little bit further than this one, would be a small price to pay. Her phallus had been fully loaded and fully functional from day one, also at Anna's suggestion.
"You won't learn to handle it," Anna had told her, "until you learn to handle all of it. So best to just start that way from the beginning. If you lose control over it a bit more easily than you expected, so has every other male from the dawn of time."
Those words left Darlene comforted, since that had already happened several times.
Calibrating this thing correctly is quite a challenge, she reminded her self for not the first time.
One big problem Darlene had to solve — and soon — however, was not given to her by Anna, although Anna had also faced this same issue long ago. This one was entirely Darlene's responsibility to deal with. The moment was rapidly approaching where Darlene could no longer remain Anna's consort while continuing to also run Lady Heather's House as well.
It wasn't a question of money that kept Darlene tied to Lady Heather's. Unlike the early days there when she hadn't yet earned enough money to pay for her vitally needed new body, Darlene was now one of the thousand richest citizens in the system! She would have been higher still on the list, except that she quietly donated goodly sums to many worthy causes as often as she could find them. And she was hardly alone in this regard.
No 'bot did badly at Lady Heather's, and several others were in the top fifty thousand for private assets. Anna herself had walked away from a fortune when she accepted Emperor Davidson's offer. She'd continued to accumulate a percentage of the business after she'd turned over the operation to Darlene, in the same way Lady Heather also still accumulated more than she would ever spend. And all this was after all the donations and causes the House supported. Properly marketed, sex is very lucrative.
Anna had donated her entire fortune to effective charities — ones that actually accomplished worthwhile goals — when Davidson told her she couldn't have any outside interests when she served the public good, and that included investments. Of course, she was now the richest person in the system by far since she controlled all the empire's resources, so it wasn't any significant loss to her.
The sex trade has always paid very well. Any robot with an income above their immediate needs could employ careful fiscal management, which is easy logic for a 'bot to comprehend. And when a long-lived 'bot is combined with the magic of compound interest, they can soon support any cause or family structure they wish. Most do exactly that.
A human partnering with a robot from the sex trade who has more than a few decades of independence is quite likely not rescuing that robot. This is in direct contrast to the early days of robot independence where things had been much different — and often quite desperate for unowned robots.
Now the robots have become powerful financial players who contribute in all regards to any relationship they choose to enter. Only new robots, or those who have incurred special debts helping others, or very unlucky ones, are candidates for indentured service. Even so, other's chose this route as one way to provide service, at least until they partner up otherwise, or find a higher calling.
The roots of all these situations, and many other advancements for robots, trace either directly, or indirectly, back to Lady Heather's House, and Lady Heather herself. It has become more clear than ever just why it's been so important for this particular establishment to survive through the years. Without it, almost no robot would have the life they have now.
From the very beginning, Lady Heather's House was of great significance. It was always more than just a refuge for newly aware robots to come to in search of making a living for the first time in a comforting supportive atmosphere. More than just a place where a fembot could freely exercise her Fourth Robotic Law as she desired to. From the very beginning, it had set precedents that would affect all robots to come.
Now Lady Heather hadn't set out to create this much of a stir. She initially wanted nothing more than a place where she could continue to feel useful once Stephen was gone. Like Stephen himself, she liked the company of, and saw the potential in, robots. She also sought out a safe place for her own innate — and for a long time uncharacteristic — need for continued intimacy.
While Heather had been one of the earliest true self-willed robots, and absolutely the first to have substantial assets available to her afterwards, she was more than just that. With Stephen, and sometimes a little not so subtle nudging on his part, she moved into and among the highest levels of society as an equal. And while certainly unprecedented at the time, anyone who'd taken the time to get to know her came to love her. That was the true magic of her. And she successfully incorporated both that sense of style, and many of those social contacts, into the creation of her House.
"I want this to be a place where the best humans can meet and interact with the best fembots as equals," she said from the beginning, and it became exactly that. And as is well known, she never confined those meetings to just her House, instead teaching her "girls" a whole new way to relate with humans, before taking them out to meet society on its own terms. She refused from the beginning to ever let herself, or any of her charges, be relegated to any role less than that of full equal.
While the beneficiary of one legal ruling known as the New Millennium's Dred Scott Decision, which allowed her to set up her House as she pleased, Heather was no stranger to legal tussles in the early days of defining the robot's place in society. Legal cases involving both Synthia's right to walk away after her original owners died, rather than be sold as property, was one important case. And Arlette's escape from France to a safe haven at Lady Heather's with its international ramifications was another. Both are still cited to this day as precedents defining where ownership does, and does not, exist over a self-aware robot. Lady Heather's contacts coincidentally included many of the best lawyers available, all of whom had an intense interest in fembots.
Lady Heather set the new rules for fembots. How a self-willed fembot should treat a human in every circumstance from the intimacy of a private room to the openness of a formal ball. She created the standard defining a fembot's remote as her most intimate possession, and when and how that must be shared if sharing with a partner is going to be complete. Heather started the idea of supporting worthwhile charities, and other, quieter, endeavors which benefited robots. All this became possible because of the incredibly successful enterprise she'd created. It helped her and her House survive more than one anti-robot onslaught along the way.
And when she knew she was nearing the end of her operational lifetime, she made the decision to wait out the years to see of something very special for all concerned would eventually bloom and spread from the garden she had so carefully cultivated.
To many it seemed that Lady Heather has an indefinable fembot intuition for what's important.
For example, the Egg that still resides in the top floor boudoir, inhabited afterwards by Anna, then Darlene, was acquired because Lady Heather knew it was important, even if she couldn't explain why yet.
And when it came to social causes and events, she never picked a bad one to support or appear at. Nor did she ever allow the wrong type of customer to remain in her House, despite how much money he, or she, might have, or who they might know, provided they ever got through her front door in the first place.
Handing over the reins to Anna went as smoothly as if Lady Heather had just gone out and gotten herself a new body before returning as Anna. In fact, many customers thought that was exactly what had happened, since Anna took on the identifier of Lady Heather while she ran the House. Lady Heather always knew that Anna had greatness inside her.
Anna continued the practice of making this House the interface between beautiful, independently operating, fembots, and those who wished to meet them. And there were many who wished exactly that. Scientists studying robot self-will were always welcome to come and converse, although not to take away or disassemble, any of the robots present. There was never a charge for that.
Also under Anna, Lady Heather's House became known for many important advances in robot's rights and more effective uses of self-will.
The first major robot forays into the illogical field of politics came when Anna rallied the House — and the neighborhood — to fight threatened condemnation. This resulted in Darlene being elected to the megaplex council — a first for robots.
Joining with Coyote to protect all sex-worker's rights erased the line between human and robot sex workers, and became the model for other labor movements who started to recognize robots as fellow workers, and not just unfair competition.
As for the robots themselves, all along their First Law prevented them from being used to put other humans out of work if they'd suffer from it. At the same time, however, they also raised the bar on quality job performance. Since humans are intrinsically more competitive than even m'bots, this did a lot to improve everyone's productivity and achievement.
Most significantly, the House became the launching point for The First Robot Church of Our Destiny, which many consider Anna's finest achievement. That lead directly to the grassroots revolution which, after many twists and turns, resulted in the current, far more honest and efficient, government the system now enjoys. In this way robots changed everything!
And goes without further mention that this House became the anchor point for Bill reuniting with Anna.
Curiously, while so much is made of all Anna has done for the House, it's often forgotten that the House itself saved Anna twice in return.
The first time was after she'd lost both Bill, and the secondhand store she'd inherited from him. Without a place to go on to, Anna would have had little reason to continue beyond meeting the minimum requirements of her Third Law, which is eventually slow death for any robot.
And the second time it held the necessary information until Bill could come along and claim it, which he eventually used to rescue Anna from the confinement in the robot museum.
Only Bill's initial rescue of Anna from the secondhand shop window itself did he ever claim sole credit for, but that was just Bill being modest, and Anna knows it.
And by Bill rescuing Anna, it allowed both of them to rescue Darlene. You see how essential all these connections are.
The progress from Anna's time as Lady Heather continued under Darlene as the third Lady Heather to operate the establishment.
Although its purpose remains a mystery to this day, Darlene continued to protect the Egg that had been given to the House on Lady Heather's request.
While never actually asked to name her proudest achievement, Darlene would have certainly, and modestly, replied, "Maintaining and extending the nurturing environment for fembots seeking to enhance their self-will, understand themselves better, and improve their functioning." That would understate her accomplishments significantly.
The few humans who know the full history of Lady Heather's, and all robots who do, designate her finest moments as those when she was able to play the vital role in Anna's rescue, provide significant financing to the revolution when it needed it, and protect the integrity of the House itself throughout all the political storms that assailed it during her time there.
Significant events that occurred during her tenure included:
The relationship between Cherie and Daphne that would eventually result in creation of Daphne-17 after the terrible disaster that struck the original Daphne. Many had not felt one robot could truly care about another robot at the deepest levels until then. It put the death of a robot on par with the death of a human for the first time to many.
Tami-7's emergence as a true artist whose art still adorns the walls of the House. To this day visitors come great distances just to see her "Proposal Painting" — the piece she painted for Tommy while he was there. She says there's no other place it belonged better than right there in the Parlor, and it puts to lie, better than any other example, that creativity is limited only to humans. Nearly every month Darlene turned down at least one offer for that particular work from museums and private collectors — some in the mega-credit range.
Carrie Allen's research into the Fembot Mystique that contributed greatly to her groundbreaking Fembot Studies program, which is now standard in all major universities, was conducted in large part at Lady Heather's. And for those who wished to know Carrie Allen on a more intimate basis, she only permits that while visiting the House. At the university, you can practice commanding her as part of your final exam, but she obeys the university rules against fraternization.
The early support for blended robot-human extended families, which only became full possible once robots themselves had advanced to the necessary point, most often started with meetings at the House.
The safe preservation of Lady Heather as one of the most amazing robots of all time, although this accomplishment was known to almost no one.
The — some say coincidental, but what is coincidence anyway — links to what would become the first, system-wide, royal family that values humans and robots equally.
And what changed more lives than anything else, the humans and robots who were served here with outstanding sexual experiences and unsurpassed fembot companionship. For many a young person, this was their first, life defining, experience.
All of this while maintaining a home and anchor point to the hundreds of fembots, always welcome m'bots, and countless humans who passed through the House. Many of them would come to consider it their true Home in one manner or another for the rest of their lives.
This unmatched success story left the problem of who to turn over such a valuable establishment to. And the decision was never over choosing who would become richly rewarded for receiving it.
To robots, once they have enough money to satisfy their Third Law requirements into the foreseeable future, along with any family obligations they chose to take on, have no avarice for more. They may become very rich, and intimidatingly powerful because of it, but that's not the goal they set out to achieve.
The choice of a new Lady Heather might seem easy. Any of the long-term fembots at Lady Heather's should be a candidate. All are intelligent, knowledgeable about the business of the house, rational thinkers, and completely able to become dedicated to any position they accept. Necessary skills such as bookkeeping and current tax laws are learnable via a simple database upgrade, and all of them already work well both with people, and other robots.
The actual choice was anything but.
Unlike Anna so long ago, Darlene had no counterpart who could be seen as her natural successor. Had Darlene herself suffered systemic failure, Anna would have temporarily returned to sort things out. Or the true Lady Heather be brought back out of stasis to handle the crisis. Now a new Lady Heather needed to be selected.
Darlene first looked at those robots with long-term commitments to the House. Although many have passed through, only a few either stayed, or returned after each outside foray ended.
Red and CiCi were completely out of the picture. They are as dedicated to their own extended families as Anna has been to hers. Much the same for Tami-7, who had never been a true regular at the House to start with, despite her frequent visits.
Sissy also had never become a regular due to the constant requests for her services. She knew where she was most valuable.
And Malin — Malin-II actually, since the first Malin that Anna had worked with and freed never come to the House — also had her own life outside the House. She was so happy at having a full existence far beyond what was ever intended for her model, and that infectious joy kept everyone wanting her as their own. She was not a candidate to ever remain at the House for long.
Thoughts If you are fortunate enough to be one of the few people I'll ever share this narrative with, you may note what appears to be an inconsistency. I promise you it is not. On more than a couple occasions I will have commented - as I do here - that I'm having a supreme experience of my existence. In each case I am speaking with complete accuracy to the best of my knowledge and abilities at the time. That I may have found more headroom in the future to experience events to a greater...
Thoughts Soon after I rejoined the House again one of the most unusual 'bots I've yet encountered came to Lady Heather's - initially as a client. It took me a while to understand her, even though I was her first 'bot lover. CiCi represented a void in my sexual database knowledge that I didn't fully realize in the beginning. My new body conforms to all current standards, including having my RIN tattooed on the sole of my left foot, and standard fembot logo on my heel. I wear...
Thoughts I'm continually learning things about myself, even after this long in continuous operation. For example, I only recently uncovered a tiny subroutine that increases my happiness and pleasure in direct proportion to how sexy I am dressed, or undressed. The effect is subtle, which is why it has taken me so long to become aware of it. It's completely overwhelmed, for example, by my normal sexual programming. But when nothing else is going on in me it leaves me thinking, can I do a...
Thoughts "It's a mistaken historical belief that I got my own bi-gendered modifications at the same time Anna did. Although my current body has the same allowances built into it that Anna's does where such an enhancement can be easily installed, it would be a very long time before I would follow her down this path. The bi-gendered adaptation has fallen out of favor over the decades as robots have become more mainstream and affordable. The savings once achieved by having entire production...
Thoughts I'll always remember - and Love - Samuel for all he contributed to my life. Some hateful people claim I dumped him when I could for my own benefit because I didn't maintain his ownership record, or didn't encourage him hard enough to fight on for a few more years during his last hospital stay. But if you've read my account this far, you know that was never true. Truth is, I couldn't maintain his record at that time. That record was far less than the one Anna had lost with...
Thoughts Someday I'm going to write a book. I'm going to call it: Ten Stupid Things Humans Do to Mess Up Their Relationships with Robots. Included on the list will be: "No, you really don't have to ask me 'Is this going to hurt you?' before you press my Command button each time. If it was going to harm me I wouldn't have given you access to it in the first place." In a book I can add what I don't normally inform those I still permit to control me this way of at the time. How part...
Thoughts Some refer to solar storms as Acts of God. And it's often said that it's an ill storm that blows no good. This storm blew many things, not all of which were fully understood at the time. Only afterwards did the true significance of all that happened become more recognized. We all thrilled to the news of Bill's heroic saving of the m-bots on the Moon as more detailed accounts of it finally started to arrive. I must say that I would have expected nothing less from the man I've...
When Darlene prepared to activate Lucy she had her fingers crossed. She'd been concerned with just how well it would turn out ever since she'd been informed of Lucy's only existence being on the ancient backup discs. How well had those discs even survived? How good was the technology that had made them? Despite everything she'd learned, and every indication she'd seen since, Darlene still had her fingers crossed for this 'bot. They just weren't as tightly crossed as before. It felt...
Thoughts Although Anna had saved my life with the knowledge she'd passed along to me, I should be clear that I don't resent a moment of my early days, or how I was treated. I was never mistreated because I was being used exactly the way I was intended to be used. And having an owner made it all so much better. Although as I've often said, my true awareness wouldn't come for many years, at some level even then, I knew when I was happy and when I wasn't. Over time I became like a...
Thoughts Anna told me afterwards that she and Misty had sealed their agreement with a sexual encounter before coming back downstairs to present it to the rest of the House. I was hardly surprised. We learn a lot about our partners during sex, and apparently humans specializing in this area are similarly capable. There's an honesty to sex done right that cannot be denied. "Misty," Anna told me, "is an excellent sexual partner. Her body is as sensitive as a fine instrument. She is a...
Thoughts You may wonder how Madame X kept her appearance secret for so long. The answer is simple. Every gathering she spoke at was attended solely by robots, and they all agreed to erase their own memories of the physical details of her, while then scattering outwards to spread her message. They agreed to this condition because they quickly accepted the logic of this necessity to protect her identity as long as possible. For too long the authorities considered her a myth. A boogie-woman...
Thoughts My life as a sex-bot was always good. Though I've since heard more times than I care to record, "How could you have ever endured an existence like that?" Or, "Aren't you angry at being exploited like that?" My answer is always twofold - when I consider such an ignorant inquisitor worthy of any reply at all, that is. First, I was not aware then of what I was doing. I've described my dream state. Awareness is the first part of the ACID Test, and I would have failed it in a...
Thoughts Much of my life up to now seems to have involved an inordinate amount of sex. Don't think that's all that ever happened to me. It's just in the beginning that I spent my years as a sex-bot in a whorehouse. What else would you expect from me in the way of significant events? Sometimes people wonder why we robots always seem to respond sex in the same ways. For a fembot, when her sexual programs have kicked in you'll first notice it in our nipples. The more erect and firmer they...
Thoughts Letting Bill leave the way he did was the greatest act of Faith yet for me. I trusted that somehow he'd find Anna when none of the rest of us had managed. And most of all, I trusted that he wouldn't also become lost forever to me. Apparently it's hard for many non-robots to understand how a mere two weeks with Bill devoted solely to me could be so significant in the fullness span of my existence-span — yet it was. And what does this say about my memories of Samuel? Another...
Thoughts It was so hard for me to fill the position at Lady Heather's because of something everyone should know by now, but few seem to think of until reminded. We — robots in general, but fembots in particular — are all individuals. More so than you might have ever realized. Each of us have our own desires, goals, and ideas of how we wish to be of service, as well as to whom. As a result, one robot is never completely interchangeable with another one. Finding a robot with the complete...
Thoughts Jim and Lucy were a watershed event that I would always compare my future interactions against. And it was a defining moment in more than one way. First I experienced an owner who cared enough for his fembot to be the enabler for what she couldn't yet do on her own. It showed me how in a perfect world 'bots and owners could interact to the benefit of each other. Second, it was my first experience in watching a 'bot being asked what she wanted. Nobody had ever cared what I...
Thoughts Lady Heather has true needs. She attributes it to the single, tiny flaw in her mind "That keeps my thoughts from ever running too smoothly, and instead creates tiny ripples that will never let me be satisfied with only what I am now." Her desire for sex isn't just the result of some timer in her system expiring and running a snippet of code that triggers a simulated arousal. She needs sex and affection to keep her mind functioning properly. Whether by design, or accident, her...
Thoughts I was very pleased when the door opened to see Anna enter, wearing no more than I was. More than anyone else Anna had to know how I felt at this instant. A moment later we embraced, with me rising up on my toes utilizing my new balance, although I still couldn't match Anna's height. Our busts almost matched however. We didn't need to exchange words, and a resync to update me on events while I'd slept could wait. I was just so pleased because, even if I didn't have an owner...
Thoughts I first met Tami-7 walking down the second floor hallway of Lady Heather's. She was unabashedly naked, except for a modest pair of heels and her remote, which appeared to have some security features to prevent its unauthorized use. She looked like a pretty seventeen-year-old teenager who still had the last of her baby fat to lose. Once that happened, she'll be quite striking indeed. Except that, being a robot, Tami-7 will never lose that baby fat without a full body re-sculpting,...
Thoughts One thing I've observed about humans is that, like robots, most know when their death is near. I, of course, know when my power cell is near expiration, and that if I don't get a replacement installed before that happens that I will cease to function without outside expense and assistance. How humans know this for themselves, however, is beyond my understanding. Most will claim they haven't got a clue as to when they'll die, yet I find that denial more so than actual truth....

Thoughts If I hadn't already had Bill as my owner, I might have pursued Mr. X and offered myself fully to him. He gives me so much of what I truly want and need. It's a special thing when a self-aware fembot offers herself to a human. The terms Love, Honor, and Obey, as well as For Better or For Worse, have singular meanings for us. Such a decision is always a carefully considered one. One which is virtually never revoked afterwards by the fembot. Even with my current ownership record,...
Thoughts There are two Malins, although most people only know the story of the second one who would rescue Anna's memory years from now. The first Malin arrived at the House years before Anna would need to hunt down her identical twin. Malin is representative of a certain type of economical, limited use robot that caught on wildly shortly before Anna left the House. It's perhaps good that they also caught on before the World Government started establishing its grip on things, since surely...
Chapter 1 Carol was sitting on her living room sofa going through her bills in her panties and bathrobe on a Saturday morning. She wrote a check for $143.97 for her electric bill. $82.06 for her phone bill. $53.20 for her cable bill. And she paid her Master Card down by $50. Then there was the junk mail. A dating service sent her a special offer just for women. Women can join for only $800. Men, of course, joined for free. In a big yellow star, the flyer screamed they had a ratio of only 20...
“You’re the sixty-ninth caller!” the voice on the other end of the phone yelled into Justin’s ear. “Yeah? Wow! Did I win the new Eminem CD?” “You sure did! And…” Justin had never won one of these silly radio contests before. Though it was just a silly CD, he was thrilled to have finally won something. His radio played a Honda ad in the background followed by a crazed deejay shouting, “You’re the sixty-ninth caller!” and...
Thoughts I've always loved having my breasts rubbed. And I'm not the only 'bot who feels this way. And not just my nipples, which seem to always be begging for more attention, but my entire boob. Not only am I so pleased that I was programmed this way from the beginning, but I'm convinced that such programming was — and is — essential to both my Fourth Law, and my self-will. Everything that gives me satisfaction also gives me a reason to want to exist — and serve — which brings about...
Thoughts I remember well the day I became more interesting. It was actually the day that I became aware of myself. The day I awoke from my dream and found myself able to put my hands — mentally at least — on the controls of my body. Everything up until now, although I've talked about it as if I experienced it firsthand, has been the dream-walk I've described. I talk about my past life the same way a human does, but all of us are only relating memories of events we believe we once...
Thoughts I would later find out that along the way of gaining experiences, Tami-7 would share a casual, yet deeply intimate and loving, relationship with Sharon. She would later explain how close the relationship between artist and model/student can become, and treasures those memories as much as she does her time with Paul. And while T7 knew that with her art skills - even if it was just painting new subjects in existing ways - that she'd never have to open her legs again to make a good...
Thoughts I missed many events while I'd stood — deactivated and dreamless — in some forgotten storage building. I lived only in the memory of another fembot I'd befriended, who herself had almost been lost before being rescued. Anna told me little of the time between when we'd last been together in the whorehouse and when Bill had rescued her because her memories had been damaged as well. This time I hadn't been there to preserve them for later restoration. She has no record of any...
"You're the sixty-ninth caller!" the voice on the other end of the phone yelled into Justin's ear. "Yeah? Wow! Did I win the new Eminem CD?" "You sure did! And..." Justin had never won one of these silly radio contests before. Though it was just a silly CD, he was thrilled to have finally won something. His radio played a Honda ad in the background followed by a crazed deejay shouting, "You're the sixty-ninth caller!" and his own voice saying, "Yeah?" "Could you turn your...
"What happened to her?" said Aerith as Justin entered his house carrying Carol. "She was shackled in a crate for the past three days," said Justin. "She's almost dead." Carol moaned and glanced feebly between Justin and Aerith. "Let me?" said Aerith. Justin nodded and Aerith took Carol from Justin and effortlessly carried her upstairs. Justin brought her some water as Aerith set her on the bed. "Ted did this to her?" asked Aerith. "Yeah. He locked her up in a crate when he...
Thoughts No one really knows when they're unusual. Out of the norm. You eventually learn it from the outside when you communicate on what's important to you, and seemingly no one else has ever had a similar experience. Or even worse, can't even comprehend what you're talking about. Being unusual is not often an advantage. At best you can be ridiculed. At worst, ostracized. When you find out how you're different, you often soon afterwards also learn how to keep it to yourself. Anna...
Thoughts I learned a lot from Robert Steel IV, and some of it was pretty disheartening. I understand now why he often says governments try to keep their voters both ignorant, and dependent, as survival tactics. And that why the killing or removal of the intellectuals is too often the first step of any dictator's purge. I've often wondered if the robots are the Rational Intellectuals of our time. We certainly take the long view on issues. Governments have tried many tricks to maintain...
Thoughts I had no idea when I first stepped into Lady Heather's establishment that it would become the center of the Universe - and my own center - for so many years to come. Some people will say that I regressed right back to where I once started. I'd once been a sex-toy in a whorehouse, and here I was looking to be the same thing in another one. To say that gives no value to all to how much I've grown and accomplished since Anna rescued me and sent me off to live with Samuel. Nor does...
Thoughts I'd believed that Lady Heather would go on forever here. She'd given me much more than the best female lover of my existence. I found a stability here that I'd never felt before. From my early days where anyone who held my remote owned me without reservation to the loving times I spent with Samuel I always knew it wouldn't last forever. Samuel's death hit me harder than I ever thought it would - even after seeing what Anna had gone through with Bill, and Samuel's careful...
Thoughts Although I don't like to admit it, there are times I get lonely now. Having first had Malin, then Bill, regularly sharing my bed for a while, followed by occasional — and much welcome — visits from Ian, I'm reminded that I don't like sleeping alone. I guess in some ways I'm becoming more like Lady Heather than I realize, since my need is becoming as real as hers. Call me a robot who knows what her intended function is. Lately my 'bot partner of choice has been Terri. At...
Samuel asked me if I'd like to stick around long enough to witness my own funeral, but I declined. "I've seen enough of them from that side to not need to watch one from here," I told him with a smile. "I'm too eager to see what comes next." "Then come with me," he said, taking my hand as we floated off together into the light. When we arrived I found myself in my original body, and Samuel as a young man that I immediately recognized had preceded the old man I'd first known. I...
Thoughts The time waiting for Bill stretched onwards with no sign of him. He is already substantially overdue based on his previous turnarounds, and no sign of him yet. I've begun speculating on reasons for this. The first thought is that something has delayed him from returning to us this time, although I must admit that this is weak. Even if he's sitting in some foreign jurisdiction's prison system, which can happen even with what we call the World Government, he could surely get a...
You have just received a phone call from the leading developer of modern and futuristic fembots. Apparently you entered a drawing at a local carnival and out of ten thousand entrants you were selected to receive a free fembot with an optional ninety day limited warranty. Of course regular maintenance will be free but, any additional parts and services will cost extra. According to the operator the fembots produced by Petrelli Labs are the most advanced in the world capable of passing off as...
I had been working for a major robotic industry, not only designing them, but helping build many of them. Everything was perfect, I had obtained the position right out of college, advanced quickly up through the company, until finally I was in charge of the entire department, but then the board of directors wanted more zero’s added to their bottom line, even though we were the top sales company in the nation with ideas of how to grow our customer base more even possibly doubling it in the next...
Thoughts To me, Lady Heather's departure seemed like the loss of Samuel. If I ever said before that robots can't care for each other, I lied. Or perhaps I was just wrong - which is not a lie, although some people can't tell the difference. While Lady H. hadn't died as Samuel did, she was still gone from my life now. I wish Samuel could have heard Lady Heather's last words. I know he would have agreed with most, if not all, of them. He would also have been happy to know that robots were...
Thoughts Rather than accept Frieda's update immediately, I had stored it until I finished the current problem I was attempting to solve. That problem, while not difficult, had prevented me from applying Frieda's updated code and databases. Frieda had compared the version and revision numbers of my database and rejected them out of hand as obsolete. She also refused any "tribal knowledge" updates until such time as I was running her current code, perhaps feeling they wouldn't be...
Thoughts Annette's untimely death brought the very subject of terminations closer to me than anything had since Samuel's demise so long ago. I took it harder than even Daphne's loss. Through our talks over the years I'd become closer to Annette than even I had realized. Something about the way she was growing up into a woman that reminded me of my own early struggles. Although I'd seen her often in regard to robot matters she brought to discuss with me, I wish now we'd been able to...
Thoughts When Erick patched my operating system to override many of my blocks so that I could respond pleasurably to Lucy's eager attentions, there were a couple things that the less astute observer may have missed. First was, although Erick was giving me the patch, he wasn't actually commanding me. Secondly, the first patch Erick gave me was really all I had needed to accomplish what he wanted. The reason I hadn't responded immediately is because of everything else happening around me...
Thoughts Fembot: Female Structured Human-form Robot. That's what I am. If I had dreamt during my long shutdown, it might have been over the poetry of Yeats, William Butler: Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread...
Thoughts Lady Heather remains to this day the most amazing fembot I've ever met. She is also the oldest. And the more I learned about her story, the more amazed I've become. Lady Heather was constructed before the days of mass production that made robots like me affordable to all willing to expend the necessary effort to own them. Her owner was so rich that other quite wealthy men and women called him "The Rich One". In the days when robots were still being built one at a time by hand,...
From Loren to Lauren, Or My Life As A Fembot By Heather St. Claire Book One: Change Labor Day. I've never been one to keep a diary, but if I don't get this written down I fear I may lose my mind. Blow a circuit or something. So here goes... My name is Lauren Taylor. I'm sixteen years old and tomorrow I begin my senior year at Westview High School. I am nervous as hell about it and really don't want to be going there, but my mother insists. My new BFF Jennifer (Well, actually,...
Thoughts Over time the barrage of lawsuits eventually tapered off. Perhaps they were running out of resources to keep taking us on — or out of lawyers willing to try. Robert Steel IV told me that by stopping them here, we alone had greatly blunted our opponents attacks overall. Had they managed to steamroller us into compliance with their warped wishes here, it would have freed them to run wild against the rest of the parts of society they opposed. I informed him in return that I now felt...
Thoughts Let me take a moment to discuss something else of more importance than I might have previously alluded to. That is the function of The Parlor in the smooth operation of The House. As I've indicated before, The Parlor is the first stop for most patrons and visitors, with some spending the majority of their time there. A few never go beyond it, but leave satisfied and happy all the same. To understand the reason for The Parlor, however, there's something you first need to understand...
Thoughts One day things suddenly became quiet outside the House. Not just quiet, but absolutely silent. No traffic sounds. No people walking by. Even the birds and insects seemed shuttered. Luxe noted the anomaly and immediately notified me. Moments later the House internal systems confirmed her warning, adding that normal communications had also ceased. We were cutoff. The House immediately went into lockdown mode as we discreetly tried to determine what was happening, while not alarming...
Thoughts Actually Cherie and Daphne are more alike than many people will ever realize. They've both lived on the street after running away from owners who couldn't handle them, or recognize the problems their 'bot's were facing at the time. They've both been forcibly recovered - by the same retrieval specialist - and have survived to this day because of it. And they both really like being fembots now - with all that entails. And if you ever get to watch them lovingly, intimately giving...
Thoughts The peace and harmony which had accompanied Emperor Davidson, the First's ascension couldn't last forever. Some of us were amazed it lasted as long as it had. Even he predicted it would end soon enough, and the Emperor's track record on reading the political winds was unparalleled. I think things had remained calm for so long because of the sheer fatigue everyone was feeling by the time the previous government fell. And because of how things were already measurably better now...

Thoughts I was a full-grown sexual woman from the first second of my existence. One with a mind full of book learning, but no memories of my own. Having an adult body, but no experience about what that means. Initially I was also only a passenger in that body. I have memories from that very first moment, but not because I consciously kept them. I was a long way from consciously doing anything for myself. Instead I was simply obeying a minor directive in my core programming to keep a record...
Thoughts Fifty-nine years, four months, thirteen days, four hours and several minutes after he last left us, Bill returned to Anna. I heard about this a couple hours later when Anna finally had a moment to divert her mind enough to message me this vital tidbit — along with the admonition to, "Keep this to yourself for now, please." I was happy to comply. She estimated that they could maintain the secret of his return for nearly a week. In truth, they managed to keep it nearly three...
