Kyle Levelten, sits in his airplane seat looking down as his flight is close to reaching its destination. He admires the beauty of Connecticut and the mix of rural land and the more urban areas that become more common as he reaches closer to the airport. The eighteen year old is about to start college at Yale. However, he has about 4 weeks before the fall semester starts. Before he heads off to his dorm and starts classes he is going to crash with his older cousin Alexis. The thirty-two year old is now distant from the entire family ever since some type of falling out after a family reunion and the subsequent death of her parents Ashley and Paul Levelten, who were also Kyle’s uncle and aunt. Kyle is the only family member still in contact with Alexis.
Of course Alexis doesn’t need the Levelten family for anything. She founded a cloud computing and data mining company which got acquired for about forty-five billion dollars. This allowed her to enter the venture capital and real estate worlds where she’s making a killing, in addition to the consulting she does for the aforementioned acquired company. Recently, her investment firm acquired a dying and bankrupt company called Transdem Laboratories. Although it may appear to be an odd pick to include in an other wise stellar investment portfolio, to her it will serve a purpose down the road.
Once Kyle grabs his bags, he heads to off to the location that Alexis texted to him. After a couple minutes of walking, he hears voice he hasn’t heard in a couple of years.
“Wow Kyle! Oh my gosh it’s been so long!” Alexis says before hugging her cousin
“You have grown so much, wow it feels so weird now that you’re taller than me now!” Alexis says amazed by how much her cousin has grown.
“It’s nice to see you too Lexi, thanks for offering to let me crash with you for the last couple weeks of summer.”
“Don’t mention it! You are my favorite member of our otherwise dumpster fire of a family. By the way, how are uncle Jeff and aunt Julia?”
“They are doing pretty okay, although they are a bit pissed I am crashing with you.”
“Like you’re dead to us pissed?”
“No more like we’re going to be pissed for a week and get over it type pissed.”
“Oh okay, well if they ever get you’re dead to us pissed just know I am here for you Kyle.”
“I know and thank you.”
“Okay I see you got your bags, let us head off to my house, are you hungry Kyle?” Alexis says as he pulls out her phone as she and Kyle walk to the parking lot
“A little bit.”
“Do you want to grab something on the way or do you want something made by my chef?”
“What can your chef make?”
“Just about anything.”
“Okay I guess I’ll just have a steak and potatoes.”
“Okay no problem let me send a request and it should be ready by the time we arrive.”
“Do you have a live-in private chef?”
“No, it’s a robotic kitchen system I have, it’s preloaded with millions of recipes.”
“Wow that sounds cool!”
“It is! Now let’s get in my car!” Ann says directing Kyle to her G-Wagon.
The cousins lip-sync to various pop tracks over the radio as they drive to Alexis’s mansion. Once the gates open, Kyle is taken away by the beauty of Ann’s two hundred and fifty acre estate. It’s mainly just maintained pristine land and he now understands what Alexis means by getting some fresh air at home. Then the two approach a the mansion Kyle spots a detached indoor tennis court and guest house where he will most likely be staying. Alexis parks her G-wagon inside her garage and Kyle cannot hold back his excitement.
”Holy shit you have a Pininfarina Battista!”
”Yes I do Kyle, maybe I'll let you drive it, ..... of course, I will be there to supervise you.”
”Wow sounds great!”
”Anyway Kyle before we have some lunch, which.... (checks phone) Okay it's being kept warm for us, let me show you to the detached guest home you'll be staying in.”
Kyle and Alexis make their way to the guest home. It's larger than Kyle's home back in Texas and much more opulent. Alexis shows Kyle the kitchen and bedroom of her guest house.
”With that, let's eat!”
Kyle heads off with Alexis and he is taken back by all the mechanical assistants that Alexis is maintaining her estate. It was just her living here all this time. The two begin to have lunch and Kyle enjoys the steak and potatoes prepared by the robotic chef. Alexis and Kyle enjoy their lunch and catching up on life. Despite the age difference between the cousins they feel close. Right, when they are finished and Alexis is about to spend more time together, Alexis hears her phone ring and she looks angry.
”Fuck!”
”Everything okay Lexi?”
”It’s this damn company we invested money into, the current management is a damn headache, I am sorry I have to do this but I need to head to my office real quick for an emergency meeting. I’ll try to get everything done quickly. Please Kyle enjoy my house and let me text you the wifi password. Okay bye!” Alexis says running to change before rushing to her car
Kyle is left alone and he goes back to the guest house. While he's bummed Alexis had to leave abruptly, he understands this type of business involves millions to billions of dollars. After two hours of watching YouTube videos, Kyle got bored and he scrolled through his phone and something caught his eye. A new app called Cloud Chronivac is on his phone. He didn't have an app like this. He likes on it and then he is alarmed. Within seconds of opening the app, he sees a list of personal stats on the left of the screen and a surprisingly accurate naked 3d model of him on the right.

He even say a profile for Alexis and he had to shield his eyes from seeing a naked model of his deer cousin.
”What type of stuff does Alexis own?” Kyle says confused to why this mobile application knows so much about him.
