Anya stood up, faced Jeff, and replied, "I know exactly what I want, and it's not either one of the two options you offered. I may have lost the ability to be biologically human, but I still have more autonomy than that. You haven't earned any right to dictate terms to me."
Now Jeff got angry. "Autonomy? You turned yourself into a robot! I don't mean losing your human body, which was an accident. You literally changed reality such that you've always been a robot! I was being nice to you by offering a choice. I don't have to do that. Now sit down."
Anya remained standing, glaring at him defiantly. Jeff ordered, "Anya, sit down." She made no move.
"I didn't want to have to do this," Jeff said, sighing. In a commanding tone, he ordered, "Anya, executive override 0764625. Adjust autonomy setting to zero percent. Sit down and wait for further commands."
She sat down, against her will. She had lost control of her body. She wanted to argue with Jeff, but found that she could not speak. She tried to use her ability as the Chronivac to make a change to herself, but found that she couldn't do that either. I've made a huge mistake, she thought.
