<strong>Elsewhere.</strong><br/><br/>"She's resistant to the policy and ideas behind the program. She's intelligent, sharp and savvy, why not use her in Analytics or Strategy? She could be maintained in Simulspace environment as an Infomorph. That would restrict her ability to cause problems, and you'd have a much lower overhead." Akiko said to the empty room, her implants overlaying AR windows of the men and women she was talking with over the inner system. Department heads and board members read into 'the Program'.<br/><br/>"I don't think we can maintain feasibility of expected performance with that amount of outlook 'adaption'." She said in reply to one comment. "Because she'll fight it for one and it would require more extensive pyscho-surgery that we can use to add in other things. Even using simulspace dilation, and farcasting our specialists in from their home locations that is time that is NOT in the profile for this project. You wanted me to put sixteen assets in the field within a year. Increasing the surgical team's workload by that much on our fourth subject is going to encourage to do it with the rest." Akiko stood at 'ease' as she listened to the response to her comment.<br/><br/>"With all due respect sir, if we got that high on behavior alteration we WILL make her into a 'fuck toy'. The idea is to come at select targets from an angle that they don't expect, not give boardmembers sex toys. You don't cram the level of skill we're looking into or screen the assets that we are cherry picking all over Sol Space just to make 'fuck bunny' toys. You can do that without cherry picking folks from all over the system." She nodded again, trying hard to not roll her eyes.<br/><br/>"Doctor Emery had me do this meeting BECAUSE he's working with his team on our next asset. I'm here because I'm the one that screens them after Selections finds candidates. This one literally FELL into our laps. She is the best choice we've had for gaining access to pivotal gatekeeper intelligence. YOU wanted more exosystem profiles and assets. YOU wanted addresses and the latest in field research and theory on how the gates work. She understands the systems out there, she knows the outlook of the people, she has the reputation with them." She paused for a second. "With all due respect SIR, if you want your dick sucked that bad.. contract out a girl to profile. Like Doctor Emery says, 'don't fuck with the apparatus' and your ..appetites are doing just that. She is needed on the Gate collections project, and the rest of the board agreed."<br/><br/>Akiko watched as the debate continued among the simulated icons. She checked Ishi's feeds as the debate continued. Finally the vote was cast and as it had before, came out the way that it always did.<br/><br/>"I apologize for the bluntness sir, but honestly.. if you want something like that I can find you several suitable options that aren't vital to our programs directives. Ishi's morph is easily duplicated and I can give you a woman who fits the profile for your wants. She, however, is vital to the acquisition of data as you directed." She watched as the various AR windows shut down as each member of the conference was called away to their various duties. Till the last one remained.<br/><br/>"Yes sir. No sir. I went with crudity because I can only say 'keep your dick out of my asset pool' politely so many times before I run out of ways to do it. Why did we include him in the committee if I may ask? Because, with all due politeness, he doesn't contribute to planning and lets his libido guide his decisions. This is the second asset he's tried to claim." She nodded. "She's in the denial stage sir, it's only been a day. We have two weeks before the next series of procedure are scheduled. That time is needed to ensure the last set of.. adjustments.. are stable. Now, if you don't have anything else for me sir, I have to check up on her."
