"Just look at this body. Perfection. Customized. Maximized performance. Even managed to optimize its future compatibility with whatever future augments I chose to go with in the future. Personally I wasn't too fond of cybernetics felt like it would waste all my hard work. Kept on tinkering with it even after the bombs dropped although after that it was difficult to find the right resources and it was all about damage control. Fucking radiation and mutagens I swear."

"So...ending up doll like was on purpose?"

"What can I say? I was just a child at the time. Later, I did some modifying but to be honest I didn't really mind that much. Had to redo the whole reproductive setup and make myself less childlike but oh well wasn't too much of a hassle."

"The...side effects for that were so extreme they were banned for a reason right?"

"Due to lesser minds yes," she admits. "A child's mind has issues if its not strong enough. My mind was strong enough and I customized it all myself. They say experience and natural growth should be considered. It's waste of time and unpleasant experiences. Puberty...why the fuck would I to go through something so awful?

"See I can tell. Your eyes don't lie and your face or words cannot fool me. So why just...waste your talents and abilities here hm? Why else would you be so interested in ME and what we are doing here? You have AMBITION and drive. Aren't you ready to...rot away with the masses now, are you?" She sharply points out with precision. "Meanwhile right before you with me...and mine is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change everything. Are you really so willing to just...throw it away?"

You did not sleep well that night and sure enough in the morning company had arrived. You realized she must have known they were going to show up today. An entire team in combat armor who were looking at you sideways and strangely...like you were some kind of fascinating specimen to be observed and enjoy the spectacle.

"Don't get any bright ideas. Is the rest cleanyet?" She asks them when the officer responds with.
