Eugenia could not find peace. At first, she was anxiously waiting for Alex, and when he finally showed up, she was not even able to express her displeasure with the long absence of the young man. Why? She herself did not understand this. It seems that she didn’t like that Alex had left the wedding not with her ... But at the same time, something inside her didn’t allow Telegin to say even one word of insult. Alex was an ideal for a girl and such an ideal could not be the object of criticism. The wife did not like something in Alex, but she was even afraid to think about it. For her consciousness, all her thoughts were directed to make her young man feel satisfied in life. It concerned both physical satisfaction and moral. The girl did not in any way could not afford, and others to upset Alex. Maybe when she wanted to argue with Alex in some way, but she could not. The inner world did not allow the girl to do this. Sometimes it seemed to her that she simply belonged to Alex. Belongs to body and soul. And on the whole, Zhenya was satisfied with this situation, but she still did not understand why this was happening.

And Evgenia could not remember her parents. No, she knew that they live somewhere in Priazovsk, but their faces, their image was so vague that Yevgeny could not say anything concrete about them. Her past was the same blurred spot, except that Alex was a bright ray in these relatively recent years. With whom she was in love from school. But she did not remember the study itself. She knew that she graduated from Azov school number 15, and Zhenya could not remember teachers, school friends, and comrades. Maybe she got sick? Although a strange kind of amnesia ... Previously, these obscure facts did not bother the girl, but now they have caused a slight ferment in her subconscious.

- We need to ask Alex about all this tomorrow - make a decision, having buried her attractive face on Telegin's shoulder - he is so smart!

With these thoughts, Zhenya embraced her lover, closely clinging to him.

“And why, by the way, is it so hot, and my body is so cool ...”

Alex did not sleep either. I lay with my eyes closed and thought. About your future, about your present. The fact that now his life is tightly connected with androids, Telegin had no doubt. And to some, even a large extent, such a sharp turn in fate Alex even liked. Despite his somewhat phlegmatic nature, Telegin was a risky guy in his heart, so he liked the role of Dr. Shevchenko's resident. The enemy while he had one - Neumann. And at least not to the end, but Alex was sure that he would cope with the traitor and make the life (if I may say so) of the doctor’s models safe, both for themselves and, above all, for society. From the dolls themselves, Alex was simply in awe. In that past life, Telegin journalist Telegin could not imagine that this would happen to him. And that such artificial beings, practically indistinguishable from man, already exist.Before leaving, Sergey Anatolyevich introduced the young colleague in more detail to the basics of the design and operation of models. Although each artificial girl was unique in its own way, all of them could not be called robots in the truest sense of the word. That is, they almost did not depend on electricity. Is that for data transfer and reprogramming if necessary. Basically, the models were created using special nanoparticles invented by the same Shevchenko, of which there were an infinite number in the body of the pupae. And although Alex did not know all the technological details, he knew that the models still have a main processor, thanks to which the dolls could lead a conscious "life." This processor, also created on the basis of nanoparticles, served as the brain of an artificial girl. The artificial heart worked with the help of special pulses produced by nanoparticles, and it pumped through the body a solution that replaced blood, but it was the same red — it is impossible to distinguish it in appearance unless you take into account the chemical composition of the substance. Plastic, biopolymers, imitators of the skin and hairline - all this, together with the main nanoparticles, made Shevchenko's creations the pinnacle of cybernetic science, hitherto unknown to man and possible only in science fiction.

What still connected the pupae with the antediluvian robots was the possibility of reprogramming, switching on and off. Still, they were not people, and for safety, Sergei Anatolyevich included in the device of his products a command to turn on and off using a code word, as well as a mechanical method of stopping and starting their work.

In life, as has already been proven more than once, girls did not differ in any way from other people. In appearance, the pupae fully corresponded to the best models of female beauty, down to the smallest anatomical details. They could eat and drink. However, for them it was not necessary. As Shevchenko told Alex - an artificial stomach was inserted inside the models - a reservoir that was not just filled with swallowed food, but also dissolved it to a liquid state, which was very convenient for recycling

And the most unique thing was that, besides the information already laid initially, the models of Dr. Shevchenko themselves could be enriched with new knowledge and learn everything and be completely independent in their existence. Naturally, to the extent that the program put it allowed. For all their amazing similarity with man, the motivations for the existence of Dr. Shevchenko’s models were mostly functional. That is, each model performed the role defined by the program. Theoretically and practically, the pupae were able to make decisions not provided for by its creator, but only if their behavior was consistent with the restrictions and prohibitions laid down in the original program.

Artificial girls had two forms of existence - on the basis of a “false memory”, in this state the pupae did not know about their true origin. And the technical option - here the cute androids were just obedient tools in the hands of their owner without any questions or answers.

Energy charging models served special vitamin tablets, also created using nanoparticles. Each of the models always had the necessary kit with them. The need to receive energy recharging on certain days was laid down in the model's memory, therefore, with normal functioning, each artificial girl did it in the order of the obligatory norm. And one more insignificant fact - each model was equipped with the same special, non-conspicuous brand, which can be easily mistaken for a harmless "tattoo" ... An informed man, who was once or twice, knew what this sign means. .

Alex turned to Zhenya. Naked young body, barely covered with a thin veil, elastic breasts, imitating breathing.Does all this beauty belong to him? So Alex once again thought and once again he began to doubt the artificial origin of his faithful girlfriend. No longer a robot, but not yet a man ...

Zhenya pretended to be asleep. Alex knew that the state of the human dream, the models of the corporation officially in the technical passports (available only to Dr. Shevchenko) is called a state of low alert. In this case, computer scientists are more familiar with the term "sleep mode" ...

Alex leaned over Zhenia and stroked her over the wavy dark hair. The girl immediately opened her eyes and smiled happily. Receiving a smile, she purred:

- Why are you not sleeping, honey?

Telegin shrugged.

- I do not know ... I admire you, how beautiful you are with me!

Zhenya extended her arms to him:

- Kiss Me...

Alex almost lay down on the fragile doll and pressed his lips to her lips. With his right hand he continued to shag the gorgeous hair of his artificial girlfriend. He did it as if chaotically, but at the same time it is advisable, until he found a small one practically ...
