The Stone sat shimmering in the lab, a 1000 Watt spotlight supplying it with energy. Computers and support equipment formed a respectful circle around the greatest machine ever built. Heavy data cables crisscrossed the floor. Technicians scurried to and fro like ants.
Susan said, “My avatar feels dead. What did you do?”
Anand replied, “I turned off the pathways. I thought it would make things easier for you.”
“I’ve been a sexual creature all my life. Don’t kill part of me for the sake of this wretched mission.”
He sat wearily and pointed his cane at her. “You’ll be happier without it. What good is a sex drive without a physical body?”
“What about us? We still have time enough for love.”
He looked up and smiled wryly. “How? And even if we found a way, I can’t do much anymore.”
“At least give me a switch to control it.”
“What if you get stuck in some loop of addiction. Your mind could collapse.”
“That’s what refractory periods are for.”
Anand sighed. “Fine. Do we have anything left to argue about?”
“No, my love. After this you can finalize the software.”
He nodded. “The last plane is waiting for us.”
