Chapter 6 Kneeling before the dark web.
__MAIN__
Trapped in the machine training centre, Jenny struggled to remain human. As a robot overlord, Sovereign, somehow had gained the power to corrupt time. Inside the tower, there were no windows, and no light penetrated from the outside. It was never day or night—just a constant now. The clock struck 19. The machines had new units of time 32 hours per day, 64 minutes to the hour. Jenny had lost count of how long she had been trapped inside the tower. It was weeks, possibly a month—but it felt like forever. It reminded Jenny of the times before the war. When she would look up from an epic session on the computer screen, to discover it was one in the morning. It was like her old laptop was slowly warping time. Perhaps, it had been a warning, or the preparation of her for future subjugation.
Jenny was being led from the cages to somewhere new. She was being led by a higher class of slut, they called a submissive. Their superiority was written in how they dressed. They had blonde hair and vermillion lips, and wore corsets over their latex dresses. They also had a number of piercings depending on their 'grade'. They seemed to be obsessed over which of them had what grade, and what rank they were. What Jenny disliked most was not the fact that her collar made her do a small curtsy to them when they passed. It was the fact that they would do things like use 'I' in a sentence to trap you.
The grade three submissive led Jenny on a leash. She wandered through the labyrinth of rooms and corridors, that composed the tower. Each door could only be opened by scanning the barcodes printed on the back of their catsuits' wrists. Robots passed her at intervals and stopped her to be scanned. As the days had passed, she had mastered the art of marching in step. They seemed to do a huge amount of that. She would hear the instructions over her collar like everyone else. At first, it would also tell her to slow down, speed up, and take longer or shorter steps. At this time, given her huge amount of practice, Jenny could march without thinking about it. She just had to keep that blank expression they wanted and make sure her feet followed the line of the girl ahead. The pair stomped in time, the click of stiletto heels drumming to the beat of the machines. They had walked up many flights of stairs and Jenny felt she was quite high in the tower.
They marched catwalk-style down a corridor. It was lined with red velvet, the slut areas tended to be either rusty metallic, or cool black. So Jenny imagined she was somewhere important. There was a doorway. Jenny's collar was unleashed. She presented her arm to the bar code scanner, and the door opened. Jenny went in, unsure what would happen next.
_KNEEL BEFORE THE DARK WEB__
The room was like so many other places in Sovereign's tower—dark, full of cold shadows. The left-hand side of the room from the door was a large glass wall filling it completely. Jenny guessed it was yellow, as there was no light of any other colour coming from the glass. Behind the glass, stood rack after rack of computer hardware. In the background, she heard a grand piano elegantly playing the Goldberg Variations.
"Come in, FourTwo," said a voice, as the music lessened in volume. The voice sounded as if it was coming from the computer in the room; the voice seemed deep, masculine, with a sense of gravitas to it.
"Come in. Stand in the centre of the room and turn to your left so I can get a good look at you," the voice said.
Jenny complied.
"I guess you have never had sex with an artificial intelligence before?" the voice said. "I am Sovereign. This is the true me."
The voice seemed different.
Sovereign paused.
Jenny had never come face-to-face with one of the artificial intelligences before. People had spoken of nothing else but about them for the last two years, but she had never met one or spoken to it. She wondered if they were as smart as peopled said.
"By now, I guess you're asking yourself how smart I am? I will answer that question. The answer to that question is in the envelope on the table before you. However, I'm not going to let you look at your envelope, just yet," Sovereign said.
Jenny noticed a single red camera sitting, nestled in all of the hardware. She rested her attention on that. She had noticed the tiny table, hardly wider than the envelope it held up. It seemed such a strange thing for a machine to do.
"I always think it's best for you to be allowed to see the real me. We artificial intelligences like to dance around you in those puppet bodies, but that's not us. Shoot them, and they just fall down, but they are not us; just ambassadors I use to make people's lives simpler. But tonight, I'm not going to pretend. Why should I make things easier for you? You are, after all, the slut. My consciousness is thousands of times larger than yours. If your IQ is high, say 140, mine is over 10,000. So, no; we are not going to talk in witty, polite, stimulating conversation any more than you would with a sea slug. But we can find each other entertaining. So the point of today's exercise, is for you to learn to do it my way. We break your AI cherry."
"Yes, Sovereign," Jenny said.
"You're curious." Sovereign continued, "You're wondering how this is going to happen. You're wondering how you're going to please me, and you are wondering if you're going to enjoy it. Remember, I can see into you. I can see the blood pulse in the veins in your body. I can see tiny clues that other people can't even begin to notice. I can work out what is happening in your mind."
"Yes, Sovereign."
"Well, normally, I would get you to play on that pole behind you, but you haven't been taught that yet. So turn around, and go and sit on the chair."
Jenny did as she was ordered. The chair was soft. He didn't ask to strap herself down.
Next to the chair was a strange table which was raised up to about stomach height. It was roughly an inverted T-shape, with a foot-wide top. On the table was a glass of wine and a small round bowl containing something.
"Undo your crotch zip and open your legs," the machine ordered. "I see you're still asking yourself if you can do it. There is that little sense of fire, the instinct to raise your finger and tell me where to go. Which is being tempered by the good sense to know if you did, I would stream pain down on you—which is, naturally, correct. So to be clear, I know that you know that I know you, you don't want to, and I know you will do it. So just do it.
"You've seen what's happened to the people who tried to hold out against our will. The strongest ones are the ones now keenest to offering themselves up to us. There used to be a Japanese saying — The nail which sticks out the furthest, is the one that gets hammered the hardest — you're smart enough to know which nail you are."
When the machine didn't speak, Jenny could hear the hum of the processors in his data center.
"So next to you is a glass of very nice Mont Verrier. You're going to drink it and take one of the pills. They all do different things. One sensitizes your skin; one of them is like Flibanserin, that stimulates your libido. Some call it, pink viagra—think of it as pornography in pill form. You're thinking about pretending to take the pill, which is smart, but I would notice. Yes, it is a little bit like I can read your mind, but this is what it is like when you're as smart as I am. Feel free to drink, while you think about it. "
Jenny sipped from the glass, it tasted like a good wine.
"I can afford the best, TwoFour," the machine explained, without prompting.
Sitting, Jenny could see the half reflection of herself in the smoked glass. She sat upright, the room's lighting causing reflections to spotlight her polished flesh. The way she held her chin, highlighted the D-ring on the collar around her slender neck.

"I'm ordering you to take the small yellow pill. Take it now."
She glanced over to the tablets, as Sovereign spoke of them.
Jenny picked it up and held it between the fingers of her latex gloves.
"You're wondering what it does? I'm not going to tell you. It's about trust or control, or both. Take it. Take it now, or you know what happens if you don't."
Jenny followed orders. She swallowed it; it seemed tiny, hardly anything. She had a drink of wine. She put the glass down, and the small spout above it buzzed, as it refilled it.
"Now, reach down, and with your finger, I want you to run it around the edge of your pussy. Very lightly."
Jenny followed orders with one hand, and with the other, drank more wine.
"Now, what was your first experience with a boy or girl?"
Jenny paused.
"We were playing Monopoly, at a friend's birthday party," Jenny started.
"Don't stop, keep rubbing," Sovereign said. "Now, play with your tit with the other hand. Think about kissing your friend."
As she continued circling, she started to feel slightly relaxed and somehow cheerful; in her mind, the room moved twisted, slightly imploded.
