he sullenly replied.
    “Did he kill your wife and child?”
    “No. Yes.” Jason rubbed his forehead briskly.
    “I do not understand the answer, Jason.”
    “It’s very painful to talk about. Can we please talk about this subject later, maybe when I’m more awake?”
    “Yes, Jason,” Lexis calmly replied.
    Jason wiped away the eye matter in the corner of his eyes, and took a good hard look at Lexis before he asked, “Did you change your hair color?”
    “Yes I did,” she said with a willful smile, and continued, “Thank you for noticing, Jason.”
    Jason watched Lexis run her thin fingers through her jet-black hair. “How could I not, from suicide blonde, to dark angry brown over night,” he insensitively thought, before flatteringly saying, “Looks very nice on you. And may I ask how you did that?”
    “My combat upgrade gives me the ability to change appearance for covert operations but I did it just for fun.”
    “I’m learning something new, about the new you, every day, Lexis… Are you thinking about the mission?”
    “No, but I was considering how you and I are more alike than you might think.” She philosophically spoke.
    “I can see the commonality in our situation, Lexis.” Jason tried to keep the conversation on a professional level.
    “How did you find out your wife and child died?” Lexis deliberately pushed the painful subject again.
    “Wow, that’s such a big question for me, Lexis.”
    “I know it has been over a hundred-twenty years since their tragic deaths but I want to know more about how you felt,” she said empathically.
    Sidestepping the question, Jason asked, “Let’s talk about that later today.”
    “The point I am trying to make, Jason…is that we both have no family, and we have only each other. We share nearly all the same memories. Maybe through my upgrades, they are far more fresh in my mind than in yours, but they are still there.”
    Jason had not heard Lexis speak with such angst and tenderness before.
    “I think we need to get some more sleep, Lexis… why don’t you crawl in bed with me.” Jason slid over in the bed but kept the sheet tight up against his body; she gently eased up against him. Spooning her, Jason could not hide his sudden excitement when her warm body molded perfectly next to his. The DNA level upgrade he received was causing his testosterone to surge like an adolescent. “I’m sorry, Lexis.” Jason embarrassingly spoke.
    “Don’t be,” she responded when feeling his erection bulge near the crease of her nethermost; she then arched her back pressing her recess hard against him. Jason was conflicted because of his vow to never have sex with a Synthetic Person but Lexis was so inviting, and being so engorged by the tremendous amount of hormones that coursed throughout his body, he silently protested. Albeit, he consented to her advances when she reached behind and embraced her touch with aching excitement. At intervals, she pulsated and squeezed him, and it did not take long until he began to throb heavily. Moaning deeply, he dampened the fabric between them with his warm essence. And after he fell asleep, where his arms remained wrapped around her, she felt a warm sensation fill her heart; quite opposite of the pain she felt earlier. Jason’s chest fell and rose with slumberous predictability when the strange painful feeling returned to her chest. The pain was nearly overwhelming, and a need to escape was foremost on her mind. Lexis’s main protocol was to never leave her post, and to obey her Captain’s command but some overriding process internally conflicted with her programming. The feelings she was experiencing towards Jason made her want to run has far away as possible to escape, but at the same time, she could not get enough of him. Quietly, she slid out of his arms, momentarily gazed upon his body before running out of the house into the dark forest.
    The artificial sky brightened above the redwood forest but the thick
