Chapter 17 - Wendy has Concerns

The three of us climbed into the king-size bed and leaned against the headboard as the big monitor on the opposite wall lit up. A video avatar of Wendy walked onto the screen as if she were going to give a lecture. She wore the same flannel pajamas as the rest of us, but no bottoms.

She said, “Hello. Thank you for coming today. Tea and sandwiches will be served after the presentation in the reception area. Our topic today is domestic workers. I know that we have discussed this ‘literally’ a thousand times, but I think that we should go over it again. Here you see a map of the property. And here is an overlay of the way that it used to be and how it will be restored. We have roughly eighteen square miles of land to refurbish. And here is a floor plan of the living areas of the house. Roughly forty thousand square feet. Obviously, we need to hire workers. Any questions so far?”

I said, “I thought that we were going to have moon-maids.”

Wendy said, “Yes, that is what I am here to discuss. It has come to our attention that there are such things as ‘twins’. There are girls who look exactly alike and may even think alike. We had found evidence of this several days ago and it gave us ideas for a better solution to our labor problem. One of our considerations for our workforce was the sheer number of ‘people’ and their ‘Genuine People Personalities’, or GPPs, that would be required. We have enough now, and adding more would stretch us thin, keeping track of everyone’s names and what sexual positions they prefer and things of that nature.”

I said, “I thought that we were going to have moon-maids.”

Wendy said, “Exactly. We were going to have sexless robotic moon maids…but that isn’t natural and we still had concerns about how they would be received. I, and the other nymphs, and even the royal princesses, continued to have concerns. Grave concerns. Very grave concerns that were so gravely concerning that it gravely concerned us to our very cores.”

Clarice said, “Wendy, keep going.”

Wendy said, “Ah, yes, well, these concerns, the very grave ones, were eliminated when we found out about twinsies. If the new workers are all twins, then it solves everything! Easy-peasy. And that concludes my presentation, thank you for coming, tea and sandwiches are already in the reception area. Goodnight and good health.”

Clarice said, “Wait, I think that you aren’t done yet. Maybe you need to explain it a bit more.”

I said, “I thought that we were going to have moon-maids.”

Wendy said, “Oh, OK. It thought it was pretty comprehensive. I mentioned the grave concerns, didn’t I?”

I said, “And that still makes another GPP as you called it. The point to the moon maids was that nobody was made so that they weren’t happy, but we didn’t have any more people. I don’t think I want any more.
