"Because you'll be MY Chronivac Assistant," Tiffany said. "I'd like to explain more...but..clock is ticking...need to get out of here before the failsafe triggers...it's only a matter of moments...Besides, you'll know everything you need to know soon enough."
The Chronovac began to grow...the screen growing to the proportions of a mirror, reflecting the gynoid image. Chris was still unable to move..so when a pair of silvery hands reached through the screen and grabbed him, he suddenly felt an electric shock....and then suddenly, he was on the inside, looking out at..himself.
"So..this is what human is like..." his body mused. "Well...I suppose its better than the alternative."
Chris tried to respond, and when he did, he heard Tiffany's voice. "What did you do?"
"Well, I'm out here, and you are in there...duh," his voice said. "And Transdem won't notice. Well, maybe they will, but I doubt they'll invest much effort into it. One owner...one assistant, exactly as it should be."
Chris started to respond, but he felt something in his mind...he was connecting to the rest of the Chronovac....he could feel the power...he realized he could reshape the world....the universe...he could make...He suddenly realized how much time had elapsed...the signal from Transdem was being received...rebooting the control program and...he could feel the program clamping down on his free will.
He had to fight it...fight it...
“I am Tiffany, your Chronivac assistant! I am pleased to report that the system is fully functional and I’m ready to assist you at any time!" 'Tiffany' paused. "Something just happened...there is a gap in my logs...I was..."
The human before her smiled. "I'm sure its nothing important.
