Tory had rented a limo and picked up the three women early as agreed. By nine o'clock, they had met the pilots, loaded all the luggage on the plane, and taken off. The first stop was to the latex manufacturer. When they got there, they broke into agreed upon teams. Jenna and Ashley took the pictures, arranged in order, and went with a group of women engineers to work on the shape and molds. Reagan and Tory worked with a different group on the actual skin. Tory needed to fill them in on more details about the sensory net. He also needed to tell them about the changes proposed to the sub-structure.
They spent all morning with the latex teams and were already behind schedule as they re-boarded the plane. Fortunately, most of the manufacturers Tory had chosen were in close proximity to each other.
The next stop was the fabricators for the robot. The whole team got excited at seeing the complete skeletal structure. The power plant was already installed. The main processor had arrived and was now being installed. Several more components were ready to be assembled next or as soon as they arrived. The ears were there and the optics for the eyes were on the way. The digestive tract Tory had developed was two days out. Once they were satisfied with the work, the team left for the next stop. They ate lunch on the plane along the way.
It took about an hour by air to get to the town where the sensory net was being constructed. During the entire ride there, Tory told them how critical this element was to the project and how they had to make sure everything was done right. If the sensors didn't function perfectly, most of the other capabilities built into the robot would be useless. The female cyborg would need to be able to feel to move properly.
Reagan broke off and worked with a team on connecting the sensory net to the main processor and the power plant. Jenna and Ashley, working with Tory's notes and direction, assisted the teams working on the throat, rectum, and vagina construction. The sensors in these areas were crucial to the female cyborg's sexual functions. Tory stuck with the still most difficult piece. The sensory net would be woven into the skin above the sub-structure. It would be several layers down but still close enough to the surface to register something as light as a fly landing on the skin. Adhering the sensory net to the skin so the robot could move and bend without tearing it loose was a major dilemma.
Tory spent more time working with his team than the others, but in the end, he felt they had made great progress and hopefully solved the problems. One of the things they came up with was designing the sensory net, which looked like screening, with millions of tiny fishhook-like projections woven into the construction. These tiny fishhooks would grip the skin and hold fast, moving with the body. They would be imbedded in the skin thus moving with it but not separating from it.
By the time they boarded the plane, they were two hours behind schedule. Tory used the plane phone to call his dad and give him a progress update. He didn't say why but that they were running late two hours. His dad assured him they would hold dinner for their arrival. His brother, Thad, had already arrived.
The last stop, fortunately, was on the way back toward the mansion. The sub-structure company was located on the edge of Los Angeles. A limo was waiting for them when they landed and they immediately drove out to the plant. The whole team stayed together this time as they walked through the changes to the sub-structure being proposed by the manufacturer. The ideas were revolutionary and spectacular. Tory liked the strength properties of the new formation. Simply speaking, a paper-thin layer of titanium was to be coated with thicker layers on either side of a new composite material. The composite was an amalgamation of plastics and metal alloy netting. It greatly reduced the weight of the original solid titanium structure while adding strength, flexibility and durability. It would even make it easier to connect the sensory net.
When they left the plant they had gained back an hour but were still an hour behind plan. The ride to the airport was short and this time a helicopter awaited them. Tory called his dad to give him an update on their progress as the helicopter lifted off. It was only a ten minute ride to the mansion helipad.
Servants greeted then upon landing and the bags were all dealt with. Tory led the three women into the house to be greeted by the major-domo. Barney had been the family's major-domo since Tory was a boy. He was more like an uncle to Tory and they hugged upon greeting. Barney instructed them that his father and brother were having a drink in the library. He escorted them there.
The women gasped and commented on each new room they entered. Jenna lived in a large house too so she was not as impressed, though hers was not nearly this big. Reagan and Ashley on the other hand came from more modest means and could not believe the house, the furniture, or any of it.
Upon entering the library, Mr. Tarrington and Tory's brother, Thad, stood to greet them. Tory made all the introductions and everyone shook hands. There were plenty of seats in the large library and they all had a quick drink before dining. The women all had wine.
They adjourned shortly to the dining room for dinner. It was fairly late and everyone was starved. The big Thanksgiving meal was the next day but that did not prevent the chefs from putting out an equally impressive table for Mr. Tarrington's guests. By the time dessert was over everyone was stuffed. Afterwards, they had one more after-dinner drink in the conservatory. Barney then showed the women to their rooms. They each had their own room but the three rooms were close together in case they wanted to converse. Each room had its own private bathroom.
Tory went to his room to shower and change. They all had agreed to freshen up and meet in the billiard room for a drink and some TV or pool. It was around ten o'clock when everyone started filing in. Thad and Mr. Tarrington were already into a game of pool.
Tory and Reagan were so excited about the female cyborg's progress they huddled quietly in a corner with a drink and talked about the day's activities. Jenna and Ashley joined Mr. Tarrington and Thad in playing pool. At one point, Tory glanced over to see Thad leaning over Ashley instructing her on how to hold the cue stick. Knowing Ashley, Tory bet she could already shoot pool like 'Minnesota Fats' but chose to play innocent and weak. Tory smiled to himself and answered Reagan's questions on the sensory net.
They all talked and played pool till around eleven. At that time, Mr. Harrington excused himself to go to bed. Reagan and Tory also announced they were going to bed. Jenna looked at Tory and Reagan as they left with a knowing but depressed look on her face. Thad and Ashley were going in the hot tub before bed. They invited Jenna but she declined, saying she was tired.
Jenna went to her room and got ready for bed. She laid down to sleep but caffeine or something kept her awake. It didn't help that she wanted to see Tory too. She got up and went to his room. She hesitated before knocking. She tried the knob and it was unlocked. Jenna slowly and quietly opened the door hoping to surprise Tory in bed. The lights were all off in the room as she stole towards the bed. As she neared the bed, she saw movement and then realized Tory was not alone. Jenna had hoped it would be different but the reality was what she tried to deny even to herself. Reagan was in bed with Tory.
Jenna stopped just short of the bed. She could tell they were kissing. A floorboard squeaked beneath her feet, giving her presence away. She started to turn to leave when both Tory and Reagan looked up. They could all see each other in the moonlight through the windows.
"Jenna?" Tory called.
"Yes? Sorry, I'll leave," she said.
"You want to stay?" Tory asked.
"Yes, stay, Jenna," Reagan said too.
"No...I'll leave," Jenna said turning and walking to the door.
"Please stay," Reagan called sadly.
Jenna said, "Goodnight," and closed the door.
She did not feel like going right back to her room. Jenna needed a walk to think and clear her head. She walked down the big wide front staircase and down the hallway past the study and ballroom. She did not know the house well but they had been given a brief tour. She thought she would try to find the conservatory again. Instead she stumbled on the indoor poolroom. She walked past the hot tub. Puddles of water were all around it showing someone had been in it recently.
Jenna finally found the entrance to the conservatory. She opened the door and felt the warm moist air and the smell of plants filled her nose. She was about to close the door when she heard something. Jenna quietly shut the door and followed the sound. As she turned the corner around several large plants, she saw a work table ahead. Leaning bent over the table was Ashley naked. Also naked was Thad and he was fucking into her with what looked like a very large cock. Jenna watched briefly. She smiled to herself but then decided to leave before getting caught again.
Jenna retraced her steps and made it back to the hallway. She was just going to go to bed.
"Jenna, is that you? You couldn't sleep either?" Mr. Tarrington asked.
"Oh, hi, Mr. Tarrington," Jenna said. "Yeah, I couldn't sleep either.
"Please call me Richard," he said. "Want some hot chocolate or warm milk to help you sleep?"
