The Cyberneticist

[Are you absolutely certain you know where you are going?]

“I’m absolutely certain that I already regret letting you into my head,” Kaya muttered, her voice deeper and more guttural than anything human. As she walked, she swept her eyes back and forth across the gritty streets of the Aura District. Everything in this section of the settlement was bathed in a soft, eerie blue light thanks to its proximity to one of the massive shield generators. She had forgotten how much it annoyed her.

She was also more anxious than she had expected, and the thugs with Syndicate tattoos on almost every corner certainly weren’t helping her mood. She had to keep reminding herself that she was traveling in disguise. So far, no one seemed foolish enough to cross a two-hundred-kilo Krosian mercenary, but bravado and stupidity were the most common character traits on Cira Narn. It was only a matter of time before some idiot or another tried to test their luck.

[It may come as small comfort, but you were correct about the nature of your implant,] the AI said. [The rudimentary design is limited and quite uncomfortable. Perhaps you could simply grow another orifice to conceal my avatar.]

“I’m not putting you inside any orifice of mine, sorry,” Kaya replied with a grunt. “Frankly, I’m still a little creeped out about you living inside Dorian’s head.”

[That is not an accurate description of our relationship. I do not physically occupy space within his brain.]

“No, but you can see and hear what he does, right? He never gets a moment of privacy.”

[He does not require one. I can provide advice on virtually any topic or activity. For example, when he was copulating with you for the first time, I was able to analyze your body’s responses and predict what techniques you would find the most pleasurable.]

“That’s exactly what I was worried about,” Kaya muttered, pushing herself flat against the side of a metal building in the nearest alleyway where no one could hear or see her talking to herself. The foot traffic in this district was sparse at the moment, but there was no point in taking chances. “It’s…creepy.”

[I fail to understand why. Please explain.]

She snorted. “If you don’t already know, you never will.”

[Perhaps you simply misunderstand my intentions,] Ghost said. [I assure you, I have little interest in Master Dorian’s sexual activities, other than my general concern that they negatively impact his judgment. Additionally, the psychological profile I have constructed for your personality suggests that you do not often experience shame.]

Kaya scoffed as she left the alley. “Is that supposed to be an insult?”

[It was merely an observation. Is it incorrect?]

“Not really,” she admitted. “But now I’m a little concerned that you’re the reason he’s so good in bed. Please tell me he doesn’t need you to tell him where to stick things.”

[He does not.]

“Good.”

As she turned a corner, Kaya stole a glance behind her to make sure she wasn’t being followed, then continued striding forward at a not-quite-jogging pace through the district.
