Morgana couldn’t believe that Mr. Bounty had agreed to her business proposal. The old AT&T building she had bought and had been operating from. Was in the process of undergoing a complete renovation. The new fiber-optic lines were being laid and connected to the backbone line for the internet. She no longer had to use an ISP provider.

The company had its own dedicated trunk lines now. All the equipment that had been recovered from the last mission she had been hired for was now hers. Also, the new quantum computer system was being installed. The asphalt road that leads up to the bunker had been dug up. In its place was the new solar road being laid down. The parking lot itself was being replaced by the same material. All the windows in the bunker were being replaced by the new solar windows, the wind generator towers located on the property were being overhauled. The thermal generators she had been using to power the bunker were okay.

“Here you are.” Gloria had been looking around for Morgana.

She found her outside looking at the bunker from her favorite spot. She had quit her job and was a partner now in Camelot Network Solutions. It was her, Arthur and Morgana that owned the company. She was surprised that Mr. Bounty was willing to invest in their company. She was even more surprised that he was willing to give them their own satellites to use.

Morgana looks at her best friend “what’s up?”

“I just received word from Big Boy Toys that our mobile command unit is ready for pick-up. I went ahead and sent Finn and Lisa to pick it up.
They are going drive it back here. After that, we can install the computer systems and the satellite equipment we’ll need. I’m surprised that Mr. Bounty let us keep all that equipment we confiscated from that last mission.” Gloria and a few members of her team had gone over every inch of the equipment.

"He said it had either been stolen or paid for by his company. So, we might as well put it to good use. He even gave us the eighteen-wheeler that Dakota and Terry had captured. Where’s Arthur?” Morgana was curious where he was.

“He and Lancelot are supervising the installation of the quantum computer. The new Titan supercomputer we bought is already up and running. Oh, chef Warren wants to know what you want for dinner tonight. He is happy as a clam with the new kitchen equipment that was installed.”

“What are you in the mood for?” Morgana didn’t know what she wanted for dinner.

They had hired a chef to run the cafeteria. They had a cafeteria for the employee’s they had hired. All their employees went through a very strict background check because of some of the contracts they had already. The crew of the mobile command unit had the highest clearance, because of the work they were going to be required to do. Only four people had access to the quantum computer.

“I liked his bacon wrapped meatloaf, mash potatoes, and butter beans,” Gloria remembered tasting that when he made it for them.

“Mmmm, bacon. Okay, we can have that. How much longer is it going to take for the renovations to be done?” Morgana knew she would be happy when all of it was completed.

“The road and parking lot should be done by the end of the week and all the remodeling inside should be done in about another week. Your apartment, mine, Arthur’s, Tristan’s and Lancelot’s are done. We can move into them at any time.” Gloria was still living with her parents, but now had an apartment of her own here at the bunker for when she was working late.

Morgana on the other hand, lived at the bunker full time. The building had been hers originally after she bought it with the proceeds from the selling of her house. Now she was using it as the headquarters for Camelot Network Solutions. While the renovations were going on, she was living in the RV Anika’s team brought back with them.

“I’ll be happy when they are done. I think I’ll move into my new place tonight.” Morgana couldn’t wait to leave the RV.

“How’s the research going on the nanites, that Kat and her family sent you?” Gloria had been told about them by Morgana.

“Well, they can be reprogrammed to do almost anything to the human body. We have the equipment to do it, but I don’t have the medical knowledge to program them. To test them, I need someone who has the medical knowledge to program them. Once they do that, then I can try them out on a test subject.” Morgana had found the base operating code for the nanites and found that she could reprogram the nanites.

However, the medical condition of the person still needed to be enter into the nanites. That way they can fix or enhance a person’s body.

“Do you know any doctor’s that could help you?” Gloria didn’t know any doctors.

“I could ask Elizabeth. She got some medical training. She was a medic in the army and might be able to help or know a doctor that might be
willing to help.” Morgana knew Elizabeth from Anika’s team wasn’t a full-fledged doctor, but she had some medical training.

“Where are they right now?” Gloria hadn’t seen or heard from them. She knew they were taking a job over in England and that Elizabeth was helping her wife with a fashion show.

“Over in England right now doing a mole hunt in MI5/6. Their technical support person is Le Mouse. I’ve been in contact with her lately. I’ve also been in touch with Terry and her new taxi. She’s been sending information back to build a new combat car that blends in better then Wraith does. The concept of the car is going to be built in the disguise of a 2013 Noble M600 Carbon Sport.” Morgana had pulled the specs up and used what Wraith had inside of him to see where it could fit in the M600.

She had done this for Terry because Terry didn’t have access to her AutoCAD programs. She knew the Black Knight was being used strictly for surveillance and recon. It wasn’t designed to be a combat vehicle like Wraith. However, using it over here in the States, it would need a makeover to blend in.

“How did you managed to find people whose names are from or like the characters in the Arthurian legend?” Gloria knew why Morgana was named Morgana, but how did she find a person named Arthur Pendragon, Lancelot Dulac, Guinevere Champagne, Troy Percival, Kay Pendragon, Tristan O’Sullivan?

Morgana just smiles “Arthur, I’ve known for a few years. Kay is his cousin. She went to Caltech and was in the Navy. Arthur recruited her just as she got out. Guinevere we just hired to handle the office. Lancelot, He’s from France and has been working with Arthur for the past five years. They are best friends. Troy, you worked with when we did that job for Anika. Tristan was a communication and encryption expert with the NSA. He got tired of their rules and regulations. So, I hired him to work with us. As you know, we named the new Quantum computer Merlin. You can’t have a Camelot without a Merlin.”

“When is our communication & satellite expert Tristan O’Sullivan suppose to arrive?” Gloria was curious why Arthur and Morgana had hired a communication specialist.

“He’s due in tomorrow. I thought you and Kay could pick him up at the airport?” Morgana would love to have a helicopter pad and a helicopter, but it wasn’t in their budget with the purchase of the Quantum computer.

“That’s fine. Is there anything else we need to pick-up while we're out?” Gloria was thinking about picking up some items for her apartment.

“MMmm, not that I can think of. Unless there are a few things you need. Tell Mack to give you the keys to the blue 2014 Lexus CT hatchback. That’s your assigned company car.” Morgana looks at her friend.

Gloria looks surprised “I get a company car?”

“Yep, I got it at a steal. A car company was going out of business and they were auctioning off several cars. So, I used the recycling money we got for the old copper cables that the building had, to buy ten company cars. Yours is the Lexus and is a hybrid. I got a van I can drive in my wheelchair.” Morgana and Arthur had gone out to the auction and bought several company cars.

“Thanks.” Gloria was glad she didn’t have to put the miles on her own personal car.

Gloria grabs a few people from the building to help move Morgana’s equipment and items she had with her in the RV into her apartment. Morgana had a direct link from her apartment to the quantum computer and the Titan supercomputer they had. Her room also had her personal mainframes. Her, Arthur, Gloria, Lancelot and Tristan could monitor the system in the building from their private quarters.

Gloria and Morgana join the others that were at the building down in the cafeteria for dinner. Arthur and Lancelot looked like they were tired. They spent the whole entire day down in the lower levels where the quantum computer and the Titan computer were. They were watching the installation crew and making sure the cooling systems were working fine.

Morgana heads to her new apartment and explores the place. Everything had been made for easy access to her wheelchair. She loved having the extra space and knew she wasn’t going to miss the RV she has been staying in. She wheels over to her computer set-up and power it up. While she has been in the RV, she only had her laptop to work from. Now, she had her whole system and the supercomputer. She does a system check on the new systems. She checks what files have been enter and how they were organized. She stays up for a while playing with the new systems before the alarm on her cell phone remind her that she needs to get some sleep. She had a meeting that she was going to need to attend.

She rolls over towards her bed and changes out of the clothes she has on. She slips into her nightgown. She glances down at the scars on her legs and runs her fingertips over them. She still remembers the night she got them. It was all her father’s fault.

She pulls her tablet out and sends Anika a message about getting in touch with Elizabeth. She knew it was 7:00 o’clock in London right now.
She lays down and just as she is drifting off to sleep. Her tablet beeps letting her know a text message arrived.

“Contact Dr. Caroline Ann Blackwell-Hardy. 940-874-8795. She’s Bart’s wife and can help you.”

“Thank you, Anika.” Morgana hopes Bart’s wife could help her.

She lays back down and closes her eyes. As she sleeps, she dreams of being able to walk one day. She hopes the information that Rebecca gave her will help her.

Gloria, Kay, and Tristan:
Tristan stretches as he gets off the plane. It had been a boring flight and he had slept through most of it. He had been informed that someone would be waiting at the airport to pick him up. As he is looking around, he spots two young women holding a sign and waving towards him. He starts walking towards them. He didn’t know either woman, but they held a banner that looked like a Castle on it with Camelot Network Solutions underneath it.

“You must be my ride. I’m Tristan.” As he shakes Gloria’s hand first and then Kay’s.

“I’m Gloria and this here is Kay. We’re your ride. Let’s get your bags and take you back to Camelot.” Gloria and Kay help Tristan with his bags.

Once everyone was in the car, they head back to Camelot.

“Hey, do you think we could stop somewhere and get something to eat?” Tristan was feeling a little hungry. The meal he had on the plane sucked.

“Sure, is there anywhere, in particular, you want us to stop at?” Gloria was driving, with Kay sitting next to her.

“I’m not picky.” Tristan just wanted a nice burger and a cold drink.

Gloria spotted a nice non-chain burger joint. The place was called The Beef Shack. As she parks and cut the engine off.

“I’m sending Morgana a text telling her where we are.” Gloria sends Morgana a text.

“This looks like a good place to have lunch.” Kay grabs her purse and head inside with Tristan following behind her.

Just as they walk into the place, they could smell the beef cooking in the back. Tristan takes a deep sniff of the air.

“Oh, I think I’m in love.” Tristan loved what he was smelling.

Tristan inhales again and just hold the smell in his lungs. He was so enjoying the smell of cooked beef.

“How many in your party?” Jessica saw two young women and one guy who had his eyes closed and looked like he was enjoying the smell in the restaurant.

“Just us three.” Gloria looks around the place.

“If you’ll follow me please.” Jessica turns around and leads them to a table.

Gloria, Kay, and Tristan follow Jessica to a nice table. As they were walking, Gloria notices they had a nice salad bar. Shew as thinking a nice
salad would be nice.

Once they were seated “Would you like something to drink?” Jessica looks at the three.

“I would love a sweet Ice Tea.” Gloria loved ice tea.

“Make that two.” Kay wanted one as well.

“I would love a nice cold beer if you have any.” Tristan knew a cold beer goes well with a nice steak.

Jessica writes down his order. She’ll bring him one of their most popular ones.

“I’ll be back with your drinks.” She walks off to get them their drinks.

“I can’t wait to see how their steaks taste.” Tristan inhales again and enjoys the smell of cooking steaks.

Their drinks are brought over by a woman named Sam. She takes their order and brings back a few plates for Gloria and Kay to visit the salad
bar. Tristan enjoys his beer and when his steak arrives, he enjoys that as well.

1587 County Road 396, Gonzales, TX:
Caroline was busy fixing Laila’s bedroom the way she had asked her how she wanted it. She couldn’t believe she was going to be a mother. She had dreamed of her and Bart having children. She couldn’t carry any children and Bart had a low sperm count.

When Bart called and talked to her about adopting two girls from England, who had been abused. She jumped at the chance. To be their mother and had been in contact with them. Julia was the oldest and she wanted to know everything about her. Her sister Laila had health problems and has type 1 diabetes. Which meant she will always have to take insulin.

Caroline didn’t care what health problems either girl had. She will make sure they get whatever they need. Julia was a transgender child and she’ll make sure she gets the proper doses of estrogen. She’ll give her any medical treatments she will want. She’ll be just like her aunt Dakota and her cousin Katie

Shigeko had sent her everything she had dug up on the girls, including their medical records. Shigeko had managed to get their school records and trace their family background. Shigeko had told her that Countess Charlotte Basset has a person arranging paperwork saying that Julia and Laila were her children. She knew Jack was working on getting the girls permeant citizenship through his contact in Immigrations.

As she touches up the paint in Laila’s room. She hears her cell phone beep at her, letting her know she had gotten a text message. It was from a person name Morgana. She tries to remember if Bart ever mentioned Morgana before as she reads the text. Her eyebrows raised up when she comes to the part about nanites and reprogramming them with a person’s medical data.

She would love to see this technology. She sends a reply to Morgana informing her she would like to know more about this. If it would be better for her to fly out to her, she could.

Camelot Network Solutions:
Morgana hears her cell phone beep informing her she has a new text. She looks and notice it was Dr. Caroline Hardy. She reads the text and a smile appears on her face. Dr. Hardy was willing to come out to Camelot to see how the nanites work.

Morgana asked when she would be available to come out. This way she can have someone waiting to pick her up. She’ll send some of the research she has done already to Dr. Hardy.

Once she sends the email off. She goes back to work making sure all the system was working right. She knows Lancelot, Arthur and Troy have been working syncing everything and working out the bugs. Morgana glances at the clock and wonder where Gloria, Kay and Tristan were.

She activates the tracking chip on Gloria’s car and finds them at The Meat Shack. She just smiles as she goes back to work.

A few hours later, Gloria, Kay and Tristan arrive at Camelot Network Solutions. Tristan couldn’t believe how the place looked. It looked like he was pulling up to a Castle.

“What did you guys do, transport a Castle from Europe?” Tristan couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

“No, the owner of the building had it done. We generate all our own energy here. All the windows you see are solar collectors. Than we had
the wind generators behind us up on the hill.” Gloria parks her car and gets out.

Tristan looks at the parking lot “I’ve never seen anything like this before.”

He kneels and touches the surface of it. He runs his hands over the surface.

“How did you guys come up with this?” Tristan looks up towards Kay.

“We didn't, there’s a company that did. It collects solar energy and transforms it into electricity. We also have geothermal energy generators. So, we are completely off the grid.” Gloria takes Tristan into the building and to security to get his identity card.

Tristan couldn’t believe the set-up. There were security guards on duty checking everyone. As Gloria is walking in, she spots Keven and Selena.

“Keven, Selena I didn’t know you were working for Morgana.” Gloria missed those two. The last time she saw them was when she worked with Morgana on that one job for Anika.

“Gloria, I heard you had joined Morgana.” Selena gives her a hug.

Keven just smile at her “Anika told me to protect Morgana. So, I came to work for her as head of security. Selena’s my second. She’s been on vacation.”

“No wonder I haven’t seen her around. I need Tristan cleared for Alpha level.”

“His security clearance has already been approved and completed.” Keven hands Tristan his id cards.

“Mr. Tristan, I need for you to come over here, so we can get your biometrics into the system.” Selena had everything she needed to enter him in the system ready.

Selena does Tristan’s biometrics. She triples checks everything making sure they were correct and worked.

“There’s one more security measure we have, and I need your permission to continue on. All Alpha class people get chipped. There are
certain rooms in this place that for you to enter. You need to have a chip in your body. The doors won’t even open unless you have the chipped.” Selena had hers and so did Keven.

“Well, since I’m Alpha level, go ahead and insert the chip.” Tristan figures in for a penny, in for a pound.

Selena gets the chipping gun and inserts Tristan’s chip. She picks up a scanner and tests it. The computer automatically registers him and
display his information and security clearance.

“Welcome to Camelot, Mr. Tristan.” Selena watches as Gloria shows him around.

“All alpha level people have quarters here at the Castle, Mr. Tristan. Yours is direct across from Kay’s here.” Gloria shows Tristan’s his new apartment at the Castle.

“Thanks, Gloria and Kay.” As Tristan walks into his new apartment.

“You’re welcome.” Kay goes to her room

Gloria goes to find Morgana.

Gloria finds Morgana at her workstation doing some satellite tracking. She stands near her as she watches Morgana track a Lear Jet from Colorado to New Mexico. It looked to be an old airfield as they watched the Lear land in New Mexico.

“Who are you tracking?” Gloria knew Morgana must be doing a job for one of their special clients.

“Mr. Bounty hired us to locate an escaped prisoner from Colorado’s supermax prison. I still can’t believe he managed to break out of prison, just after one day.” Morgana had watched the television broadcast on one of her monitors.

“Who is it that escape?” Gloria sits down next to her in the chair reserved for Arthur.

“Sebastião Tavares Rezende, an arms dealer that deserves to be put down into the deepest, darkest hole we can find.” Morgana brings his files up on another monitor. She had a nine-monitor set-up at her workstation.

Arthur had the same set-up as Morgana and so did Gloria. They also had big screens that they could transfer the information to be displayed.
Two monitors showed where the satellites they had access too were at. So, if they needed one for a job, they could use it.

“Is Mr. Bounty handling this job?” Gloria knew he was their silent partner.

“Nope, we're working for the Marshal service. Especially, the Deputy Director of the Marshal service. Mr. Bounty said to pass all information to Deputy Marshal Running Bear and Marshal Marsha Smith.” Morgana couldn’t believe the request she got from Mr. Bounty, but if he said to do it, then she was to do it.

“I wonder who they are?” Gloria watches her friend.

“Marshal Running Bear worked with Mr. Bounty when he was still with MI 6. As for Marshal Marsha Smith, she is one badass Marshal. She has over two hundred kills and has never lost a witness placed in her custody. Her husband isn’t someone I would want to mess with. He’s a defense lawyer for Ruth, Max & Smith. One of the biggest law firms around. His batting average is three hundred wins to forty losses.”
Morgana had been impressed when she looked him up.

“So, is Marshal Smith working with Deputy Marshal Running Bear?” Gloria was trying to figure this out.

“Nope, she’s going after someone else. However, she might end up working with him. All I know, Mr. Bounty wants us to provide technical
support for them. Also, Anika needs us to keep a bird’s eye view in England around where Prince Charles lives. The Black Knight has been damaged.” Morgana couldn’t believe the footage she saw of that.

Someone tried to kill Mouse and Terry using attack drones. She could have taken control of Spirit and used him to protect Mouse and Terry.
She covers up a yawn as she fights to stay awake.

“Go, take a nap, Morgana. I can cover you while you rest up. Where’s Arthur?”

“He’s down in the server room. Him and Lancelot are tracking down a problem. One of the server racks were overheating.” An alert had been sent to Morgana’s computer letting her know.

“That shouldn’t happen. We set those servers up, so it wouldn’t have a problem.” Gloria was stump on that one.

“I know, Arthur and Lancelot can handle the problem.” Morgana locks her station and transfers what work she needed to be done to Gloria’s station.

“Alright, I’ve transferred what still needs to be done to your station. I’m going to go and grab something to eat and some sleep.” Morgana rolls backward from her keyboard.

Server Room:
“Will you get out of my server room?” Tinker comes walking towards Arthur and Lancelot.

“Morgana got an alert that one of the servers were overheating.” Arthur looks towards Tinker.

They hired her recently to maintain all the equipment at the site. She had several degrees in engineering and had a way with machinery. She was fired from her last job because her supervisor was by-passing safety procedures in order to get the job done on time.

“I know, I got the same alert on my Ipad. I tracked the problem down to a bad flow meter that controls how much cooling this area got. The server is fine.” Tinker walks over the server and measure the temperature of the unit.

“See?” As she shows them the unit temperature.

Arthur and Lancelot look at the temperature she was showing them. It was within the range they liked all the equipment to operate at. She was using a normal temperature meter that displayed the temp.

“How are the tanks doing?” Arthur wanted to make sure the coolant was at the level they needed to keep.

“Everything is fine. I was heading up to the fourth floor to check the new computers we installed.” Tinker liked her new job. They didn’t judge her for being transgender.

“Alright and thanks, Tinker.” Arthur and Lancelot walk away and head up to the cafeteria to grab something to eat.

“I heard that Tristan finally got in.” As they take the elevator up to the second floor.

“Yep, he did and he’s already settling into his new apartment.” As Arthur and Lancelot walk into the cafeteria.

They noticed that some of the people they hired to help around the place were taking advantage of the cafeteria. They hired a nice Chef to set-up the menu and cook the food.

Arthur looks at the special, which was roast beef with all the fixings. He gets that, while Lancelot gets some sort French dish called Bœuf bourguignon (beef stewed in red wine).

They sat at a table not far from the door to the cafeteria and enjoyed the food. When Morgana first approached Arthur about upgrading the place. He was skeptical about it, but as the two of them kept talking about. He started thinking about more and realized it was a good idea.

She was willing to put up all her money and then when Mr. Bounty was willing to invest money into their business. It made them better and gave them an advantage over their competitors.

He looks around for a few seconds and goes back to eating. He spots Tinker as she came walking into the cafeteria. He watches as she stood in line and finally paid for her food. He waves her over towards him and Lancelot’s table.

Tinker decided, instead of heading up towards the fourth floor, decided to get some food instead. She walks over and sits down with Arthur and Lancelot.

“Thanks.” She sits down with them.

“I thought you were going to the fourth floor?” Arthur watches Tinker.

“My stomach started growling. So, after I finish eating, I’ll go and check them out.” Tinker takes a bite of the roast beef she got.

“Take your time and enjoy your meal, Tinker.” As Arthur starts eating his desert.

After Tinker finishes her dinner and dessert. She heads up to the fourth floor to checks the computers out. The ones they installed were working fine and on their proper network. Tinker finishes up what she came to do and head down to her apartment.

Morgana and Arthur felt, that if she was going to be the head maintenance person. She should have her own apartment at the Castle. She walks into her apartment and starts removing her work coveralls.

Once she is undress, she heads towards her bathroom to relax.

Tinker stretches when she gets up the next day. Several of her joints pop as she heads towards the bathroom to take a shower and do her morning business. She gets the water just the way she likes it and steps into the shower.

Tinker runs her fingers over some scars she has on her upper arms and across her chest. She was lucky to be alive after the explosion a person set went off. She was surprised that it had been set by a sixteen-year-old kid that wanted revenge on the bullies in his school.

She had been there working with her uncle when the explosion occurred. They were replacing the old ballasts in the fluorescent lights in the hallway when the explosion went off. She got hit by shrapnel and her uncle took the full force of the blast erupting from the classroom. If her
uncle hadn’t been in front of her, she would have received the full force of the blast.

Tears slide down her cheeks as the water from the shower head hides them. She finishes her shower and wipes the tears away as she dries off. She heads into her bedroom and starts getting dress. Camelot really doesn’t have a dress code, so she wears a pair of coveralls with the company logo on it.

Tinker walks over to her desktop computer to see what repair orders came in and notices she didn’t have any listed. Which means she could finally finish her inspections. She grabs her Ipad and heads towards the cafeteria to grab some breakfast.

Once she was finishing breakfast. Tinker starts where she left off yesterday on her inspection tour. The Castle was finally finished with the remodeling and she was to make sure nothing was left unfinished and was working right.

As she Tinker is checking out the power room. She notices they have a lot of power being generated. The geothermal generators, the windmills and the new road surface they instead. That’s not counting the new solar windows. They had power to spare. She continues her inspection. The water filtration systems, the recycle bins and the trash separation system.

It takes half the day to finish her inspections. Tinker heads towards her office, after stopping to buy a bottle of cold iced tea. She sends the results to Morgana and Arthur. She heads towards her second workshop and works on some special projects for the Castle. Morgana and Arthur wanted her to build a few drones for Camelot.

Morgana, Gloria, and Arthur were in command center monitoring different networks they had been hired to watch and maintain. Gloria gets an alert on one of her monitors as several hackers from China tried to break into their client’s computer network.

The honeypots and traps she set, had been penetrated. The Chinese hackers were good and were giving her a run for her money, but once she managed to corral them and backtrace to where they were operating from, she seized their computer system and took control of it.

Arthur had his hands full with a bunch of hackers from North Korea. They were trying to infiltrate a software firm Camelot had a contract with. Arthur wasn’t a slouch when it came to cyber battle. He was just as good as Morgana and Gloria. He gives them a taste of what he was capable of.

Morgana was watching her partners as they did combat. She had an intruder earlier, but she taught them a lesson about trying to break into their client’s computers. She was still monitoring Prince Charles resident for Anika. She was also reviewing satellite footage from yesterday from a location Anika gave her. She watches as a box truck leaves the location and heads out. She follows the path as much as she could and finally tracks it down.

Morgana sends the coordinates to Anika. She brings the live feed up and could see they were prepping something for launch. She sends a text to Anika that they were getting ready to launch. She tries to get a better view, but she could only make out five objects. The fifth one was a little difficult to make out.

Once she is done sending Anika the information. She turns her attention to see if Gloria or Arthur needed help. She noticed that they were having fun. Arthur finishes his cyber battle with the North Koreans and Gloria shouts out.

“Take that, you dirty rotten hacks.” Gloria was on cloud nine after beating the Chinese hackers. She stole as much information from them as
she could and caused their systems to explode. She overclocked their CPU’s. Gloria reviews the information she stole from their computers.
Some of it was stolen identify information, but most of it was information they stole from computer companies and research firms.

“You sound like you had fun.”

“I just crashed one of China’s cyber hacking group's computer system and stole what they had as well.” Gloria looked like the cat who ate the canary.

Morgana just shakes her head. She glances over towards Arthur and saw him leaning back in his chair.

“Let me guess, you fried their system?”

“Nope, I barbecued it. All they have left is a ship's anchor now.” Arthur loved ripping and frying other people’s computer system.

Morgana just smirks at Arthur’s statement. She knew he enjoyed bringing the bad guys down.

“So, what were you doing while Gloria and I were working?” Arthur just looks at Morgana.

“Tracking down some bad guys for Anika. They look like they are ready to launch something, but I can’t make what it is out.” Morgana brings the image up on the monitor.

She zooms in as much as she could. Four of the objects she could identify, but the big one the bad guys were rolling out, couldn’t be identified.

“Whatever it is, it looks like the engine of it is hovering in mid-air.” Arthur taps a few keys on Morgana’s keyboard to sharpen the image more.

They could see a shadow underneath what the object was. He could tell it was some sort of drone.

“Does Anika know about this?” Arthur looks at Morgana.

“No, I couldn’t make it out when I sent the text to her.” Morgana felt guilty now.

Morgana spins around in her chair and sends a quick text. She also sends a picture that they just looked at. She hopes it’s not too late.

“I hope it will help them.” Morgana hopes Anika and her crew will be able to stop what is about to happen.

“Don’t worry Morgana, Anika and her team will be able to handle this problem. I’ll do a system check on Spirit and make sure he’s ready for launch.” Gloria uses the remote codes that Terry gave them to access Wraith’s system to check on Spirit’s combat systems.

Alexa’s Body shop, London England:
Wraith’s systems come alive as Gloria access his command center. Diagnostics start running letting Gloria know all systems were ready.

“Wraith’s systems are ready for combat and he is fully armed.”

“Good, that means we can launch to intercept these other drones.” Morgana looks at the system check on her monitor.

“That’s one drone against five. Will spirit be able to stop all of them?” Gloria was concerned about that.

“Is the black knight still online?” Morgana figures they could use his surveillance drones in to ram into the others.

“Yes, but his drones aren’t fast enough to deploy against the other drones. They are slower. Only Nobel and Wraith have faster combat
drones.” Gloria tries the command code Terry gave them for Nobel.

Since it was the first time those codes had been used, it takes a second for Nobel to respond. It checks the authorization and allows Gloria into its systems.

“We have access to Nobel. Checking to see if Terry gave us access to Nobel’s weapon systems.”

Terry:
Terry was checking Nobel’s system when everything came alive inside him. She watches as the HUD systems projects onto the windshield. He taps a few commands and notices it was the access code he gave Morgana.

He watches as the system goes through its system check. He notices Gloria was checking Nobel’s drone and its systems. A smile appears on Terry’s face as he watches Morgana or whoever was using the code check on the weapons systems of Nobel’s drone.

Camelot Network Solutions:
“Nobel’s drone is ready to launch.” Gloria looks at Arthur and Morgana.

“Alright, let’s wait to hear from Anika.”

Tinker covers up a yawn as she rides beside Gloria. The two of them were checking out a new client. They had several warehouses that they wanted to network together and install a new server. Since Tinker was the main engineer at Camelot and Gloria was a member of the management team. They decided to take the contract. The contract was for a remodel and they were going to check the place out to see how much they needed to place their bid for the job.

Gloria was driving the new car that the company gave her. She glances at Tinker “too early for you?”

“Yes, I was up late last night playing online. There’s a gaming company that we might want to think about buying.” Tinker was informed by one of her friends online.

“Yeah, what’s the name of the company and what games do they make or made?” Gloria thinks it might be interesting to own a gaming company.

“The name of the gaming company is called Venture and some of the games they made or make are, Star Bunny, Hillington, Star Slammers, Saloon, Cowboys and Robots and their best one was Moonraker. It was a James Bond base first-person shooter. They had a license agreement with the company that owns the James Bond Franchise.”

“So, why are they selling the company?” Gloria was curious about why it was for sale.

“The owner was charged for tax evasion and the company sales have been down lately. I think we can do better with it. We transfer all the games to our quantum computers and hire some game designers to come and work for us. We have everything we need. We could even do a virtual reality gaming system.” Tinker thinks it would be a good cash cow for them.

“Send me the information and whatever else you have on the company. I think it would be something for us to look into.” Gloria was serious about looking into the gaming system.

After thirty minutes, they pull up to a company called Transverse Cargo Transport. Gloria and Tinker get out of Gloria’s car and head inside.

“Hello and welcome to Transverse Cargo Transport, how can I help you?” Brenda spots a strawberry blonde hair woman and dark brown hair woman come walking into the reception hall.

“Yes, I’m Gloria Lagana and this is my chief engineer Tinker were from Camelot Network Solutions. We’re here to see Mr. Langdon.” Gloria watches the young lady behind the reception desk. She had short dark hair and was dress in a pants suit.

“I’ll let him know you’re here Mrs. Lagana.” Brenda picks up the phone and calls Mr. Langdon office.

While Tinker and Gloria are waiting, Gloria looks at Tinker “so, how did you come up with your name?”

A smile appears on her face “since I was six years old, I had the bad habit of taking things apart. As I got older and kept taking things apart and putting them back together. My uncle gave me the name. So, I petition the court to legalize the name Tinker. That way I can legally use it, instead of the name my parents gave me.”

“That’s understandable. So, what is your birth name?” Gloria was curious.

A playful smile appears on her face “Tammy Ann Black. That’s why I go by Tinker.”

“Why don’t you like going by Tammy?” Gloria didn’t see anything wrong with that name.

“I just don’t. I would have changed it, but I was named after my great grandmother. So, instead, I go by Tinker.” Tinker never met her great grandmother.

After a few minutes, a tall black hair guy wearing a black business suit comes walking down a set of stairs that lead up to a second floor. Mr. Langdon looks over towards them as they sat.

As Mr. Langdon approached them, Gloria and Tinker stood up to greet him.

“Greetings ladies, it’s so nice to meet you. I’m Kevin Langdon, head of our IT department.” He holds his hand to shake Gloria’s.

Gloria shakes Kevin’s hand “it’s nice to meet you, Mr. Langdon. This is my chief engineer Tinker.”

Kevin looks at Tinker and wonder why only the one name. He doesn’t ask her, but he does shake her hand.

“If you’ll follow me, I’ll give you a tour of the server room and what we would like done.” Kevin gives Gloria and Tinker a tour of the place.

For the next hour-n-half, Gloria and Tinker are given a tour and details on what upgrades Mr. Langdon wanted. Mr. Langdon was wondering why Tinker was only taking notes on her cellphone.

“Is everything okay, Tinker?”

“Oh yes, I have a photographic memory.” Tinker looks at him with a teasing smile on her face.

She always surprised people with the fact that she could remember everything around her. It came in handy when she tore things apart and had to put them back together as she found them. It’s what made her such a good engineer. There wasn’t much she couldn’t do.

“Thank you for the tour, Mr. Langdon.” Gloria shakes his hand “You should have our bid for the job, in the next few days.”

“I look forward to it. I have enjoyed myself and your knowledge.” He looks towards Tinker when he says that.

Tinker just blushes as she walks back with Gloria to her car. The two of them get in and start driving back to Camelot.

“How many crews do you think we’ll need to have, working on the project?” Gloria was wondering what Tinker thought.

“Three, but we could get by with just two. One crew working on the server room and two crews working on the building. It’s going to take a
month to rewire the warehouses and get them set-up. As for the server room, we’ll need to set-up a temporary server, while we tear everything out and rebuild it. We could use a mobile unit or link their systems to our computers and give their IT director access to it.” Tinker was already thinking about the job.

“I think Morgana will want to keep everything here. So, that means a temp server.” Gloria figures they could do the job within two months.

“Well, if we do that. We’re looking at night shifts, three four men crews, about an hour drive from the castle. The high end, we could go $60,000 and low end we could go as low as $40,000- and two-months’ time frame.” Tinker had mentally added up everything

“Less submit a bid for $45,000.00 that will include a back-up generator and an off-site back-up to our main servers.” Gloria glances towards Tinker.

“Okay, how about the Venture gaming system?” Tinker looks towards Gloria.

“Get the details and send it to me, Morgana and Arthur. Just from what you told me, I think it would be worth looking into and buying.”

“Alright.” Tinker grabs her drink and takes a sip.

It was warm, but at least it was wet. She closes it and put it back in the cup holder. Afterward, she pulls her tablet out and transfers her notes from her cellphone to the tablet.

When they get back to Camelot, they head for the cafeteria and grab some lunch. Today the chef they hired outdid himself. He had made some sort of beef and noodle dish.

Tinker sits as her normal table and worked on gathering information about Venture Gaming System. She still couldn’t believe it was for sale. Once she has the information, she sends the info to Gloria, Morgana, and Arthur.

Morgana, Gloria, and Arthur sit at the meeting table and look over the information that had been given to them by Tinker. Morgana notices that Venture Gaming System has been losing money on the sales of their games and payroll expenses. Most of their utilities were within range for a company their size.

The thing that bothered all three of them, was their internet usages. Their usage was higher then it should be for the number of users that accessed their online game system.

“How come their online usage is so high, but the number of users they have is so low?” Arthur was curious about that data.

“That is a good question.” Gloria was curious about that as well.

“I’ll dig into it today and see what is going on.” Morgana makes a note of it on her tablet.

“You can’t Morgana. Bart’s wife is coming in today. You’ll need to pick her up at the airport.” Arthur spotted a note he had on his tablet to remind Morgana about Bart’s wife coming.

“Damn.” Morgana looks towards Gloria.

“Can you check it out for me?” Morgana knew Gloria was as good as she was.

“No problem. I can’t wait to use your new VR system.” Gloria had a pleasant smile on her face.

“Don’t break it.” Morgana was proud of the new VR system she designed.

“I can’t make any promises, Morg.” A mischievous smile appears on her face.

Morgana just glares at her friend.

If she didn’t think of Gloria as a little sister, she would be upset with her. Because she hated being called Morg. She hopes that the gaming company will be worth adding to their company. It does make sense to expand their portfolio.

“How is the new contract coming?” Arthur was curious about that.

“I’ve selected the crew and have their work schedule already made out for the month. I was thinking about Larry Snow as the project leader and Anthony Leers as the contracted leader.” Gloria knew both men and figure they would make a good team.

“You couldn’t have picked a better team. Larry uses to work for Anthony before he was promoted to the project department.” Arthur had hired both men personally.

“Good. Does he think we can complete the job within the time frame Tinker said?” Morgana has come to admire Tinker.

“Yes, he thinks he can even shorten it some.”

“Well, if he can. That will be great, but we don’t skimp on quality. I don’t want our reputation ruined because of shitty workmanship.” Arthur had worked hard to build up their network business.

“It won’t be.”

After the meeting, Morgana heads towards the motor pool to get her car. It had been outfitted for her to drive with her disability. She had received the arrival time of Caroline’s flight and wanted to be there when she arrived.

It takes her about thirty minutes to arrive at the airport. She knew that Bart’s wife was arriving on a private Lear. She arrives ten minutes early and goes inside the airport to await Caroline.

Caroline closes her laptop after looking over Morgana’s medical record. The damage Morgana received had been severe. She was surprised that Morgana had survived the accident.

If the nanites Morgana sent her a report on, were advanced as she said they were. There might be a chance for Morgana to regain partial mobility again. She could use a new leg brace to support her legs or canes even.

“Mrs. Hardy, we’ll be landing soon. Do you know how long we will be staying?” James looks towards his employer.

“No, I don’t, but don’t worry. Arrangements have been made for you and Lisa. I also went ahead and arranged for a rental car for you two.
Once I know how long I’ll be staying, I’ll call you guys.”

“Okay, Mrs. Hardy.” James turns his attention back to flying.

Twenty minutes later, Caroline feels the Lear descend for landing. She feels the slight bump as the tires touch the tarmac and as the plane starts to slow down. A few minutes later, the Lear comes to a complete stop.

Caroline gets up and head over towards the door and open it. She wasn’t going to make James and Lisa do it for her.

“Remember, James and Lisa. Put the fuel on Bart’s company card.”

“Yes, ma’am. Do you want us to put our hotel room on it as well?” Lisa was curious.

“It’s already been taken care of. There should be an envelope waiting for both of you at the hotel front desk.” Caroline descends the steps with her overnight bag hanging from her shoulder.

Morgana spots Caroline from the video chats she has had with her. She waves her arms to grab her attention. The private flight section wasn’t too busy, she hopes Caroline was looking for her.

Caroline spots a young woman sitting in a wheelchair waving her arms, trying to grab her attention. She starts heading over to her. As she got closer she notices it was Morgana.

‘I hope your flight was smooth, Mrs. Hardy.” Morgana had to look up to the woman.

“It was. It’s nice to meet you in person.”

“Thank you for coming.” Morgana was glad she came.

“Bart said you and your people have been a big help to them. So, it’s the least I can do for you. I’ve been looking over your medical record and if the nanites areas advance as you say they are. I believe they could give you partial use of your legs back.” Caroline follows Morgana back to her vehicle.

“What couldn’t I have full use of my legs?” Morgana presses the key remote to open her vehicle for them.

“Well, depending on how many nanites you have. It would take several injections for them to rebuild your entire neural network. Some of the damage nerves you had from the accident had been cut away. Plus, you have been in your wheelchair for several years. It will take time for you to fully recover.” Caroline puts her carryon in the back of Morgana’s van and sits on the passenger side of the van.

Morgana starts heading back towards the Castle.

Camelot, VR Room:
Gloria adjusts the body suit she was wearing. It was a little tight in the crotch area and noticed it gave her a camel knuckle, even with her wearing panties. She could see Tinker up in the control room.

“I’m lowering the cradle down.” Tinker pushes a few buttons on the console before her.

“Why do I need this?” Gloria was curious about it.

“It will give you more movement options. Morgana can’t use it because of her legs, but you and everyone else can.” Tinker designed it to make it more fun to use the VR systems.

Gloria connects herself to the system. Once she was connected, she gives Tinker the thumbs up.

“Alright, I’m going to start the training program for you to get familiar with how this system works. Once you score a high score, I’ll start the hacker simulator for you.” Tinker presses a few buttons and the room Gloria is in goes completely dark.

Gloria couldn’t see anything in the room. The next thing she knows, she sees giant numbers counting down from five. When it gets to one, the simulation starts.

The simulation looks like an obstacle course for the user to make their way through. It starts off on basic, showing the user how to use the controls of the unit, and then it starts raising in difficulty

Tinker watches on her monitor up in the control room. She watched Gloria’s physical stats and such. The training simulator had a feedback system if you made a wrong move.

Gloria couldn’t believe the simulation as she learned the controls of the unit. It was so real and life like. She follows along with the instructor, who was designed as Wilma from the Fred Flintstones cartoon. The simulation had her voice and everything. She also learns about the feedback punishment function.

In twenty minutes Gloria learns the controls of the unit. She completes the simulation with a high score.

“Are you ready for the actual thing, Gloria?”

“Give me a few minutes.” Gloria takes the visor off and looks towards the window of the control room.

She got a workout from the unit. Sweat was running down her back and her face.

“Can I get a rag or something?”

“Sure, I’ll bring one down to you.” Tinker grabs some paper towels and takes them to Gloria.

“Thanks.” As she accepts them and wipes her face.

“You’re welcome. I’m heading back up to the control room. Let me know if you need anything else.” Tinker turns and walks away and out of the room.

Tinker takes her seat at the console and prepares the VR unit for internet penetration. She watches as the count down begins and go right into the program. She monitors Gloria as she enters the internet.

Gloria couldn’t believe what she was seeing and doing as she sped through the internet. The route took her to the servers of Venture Gaming System. She could make out so many different connections to the server. She starts to identify the different IP addresses that were connecting to the game system. There were five that she couldn’t identify. Every time she tried to trace the address back to its source, it would bounce to a different computer or computers.

She decides to try a different tactic. She notices the files they were downloading from Venture Gaming System. So, she adds a special piece of code she wrote and add it to the file. When whoever was downloading the file opens it. It will call back to the special server setup at Camelot to trace the file. That way she can backtrace the signal.

Once Gloria was done modifying the code. She heads back to Camelot by the VR route she came. Once Gloria is back, she shuts the program down.

Tinker has been watching Gloria as she moved through cyberspace by the VR unit. She kept her eyes on Gloria’s vitals while she was hooked up to the VR system. So far, Gloria has been gone an hour or two and Tinker was getting concerned. She knew it took Gloria and Morgana a while to hack computer systems, but this new way that Morgana designed was supposed to be faster and easier to do it.

She gives Gloria a few more hours to accomplish what she is doing before she activates the recall system. She continues to monitor Gloria’s vitals and just as she was about to activate the recall system, Gloria takes the helmet off.

“I was getting concerned about you. You’ve been gone for the last four hours.” Tinker shows Gloria her start and end time.

“Damn, it didn’t feel like I was gone that long.” Gloria really didn’t feel that tired.

Tinker walks down from the control room to help Gloria out of the VR rig. Once the gear was off Gloria.

“So, did you find out what was going on with Venture?”

“Nope, but I did set a trap and hopefully they will take the bait. I did notice that the system they were accessing was part of a new game
system Venture is working on. Do you know anything about it?” Gloria looks over towards Tinker.

“No, but I might know someone who does. She’s a freelance game designer that Venture is currently employing.” Tinker hopes Aisha might be
able to shine some light on the matter.

“What’s her name?” Gloria wouldn’t mind speaking to her.

“Aisha Walker.”

“Do you have a phone number or email you can reach her?”

“Yep, I have both. Now, why don’t we get you out of that suit?”

Tinker and Gloria head towards the locker room to take the suit off. Tinker was careful, as she helps Gloria out of the tight rubberized suit.

“You need to come up with a better suit.” Gloria was finally out of the suit.

“I’ll get right on it.” Tinker takes the suit to be cleaned.

Medical Bay:
Caroline walks around examining Morgana and making notes on a Pad Morgana gave her. The medical bed Morgana was laying on, was a new purchase that Camelot recently bought from Blake medical supplies. It was still experimental and Blake Medical was willing to let them test it out and send all medical information back to their research department.

Caroline loved the bed. It had a built-in scanner, that could give the doctor a three-dimensional holographic image. The image showed everything that was wrong with the patient and where the problem was inside the body.

“Where did you get this marvelous medical bed?”

“Blake medical is letting us test it out for them. According to our rep at Blake medical, were one of twenty clients they are testing these beds
with.” Morgana jumped at the possibility to be the first to test these new medical beds.

“I have to say, it makes examining a patient easier.” Caroline looked at the results being transferred to her Pad.

“So, what do you think doctor?” Morgana looks at Caroline with hope in her eyes.

“Well, if these scans of your spine are correct. I think we can go ahead and program the first set of nanites to start working on the damage done to your spinal cord.” Caroline was still looking at the scans.

“How many treatments, do you think I’ll need?” Morgana was curious.

“Well, considering how much damage has been done. I’ll say at least five treatments.”

“But you said earlier, at least four. What has changed?” Morgana didn’t know if she had enough nanites to do five treatments.

“Here, let me show you.” Caroline walks over and shows Morgana the scans she received.

Morgana looks at the scans and notices what Caroline had circled on the scan for her. It looked like a buildup of scar tissue.

“So, the scar tissue is the problem?” Morgana looks up at Caroline.

“Yep. We need to remove all the scar tissue, so we can reconnect or rebuild the nerve endings that had been removed.”

Morgana figures she might be able to build more nanites since she has the blueprints for them. She really wanted to walk again and be able to do some of the things she uses to do.

“I think I can build more nanites. How long will you be able to stay?”

“For a week. Bart is coming back from England and I want to meet my adopted daughters.” Caroline couldn’t wait to meet Laila and Julia.

“I think we can get everything done by then.” Morgana could get to work tonight building new nanites.

“Good. All we have to do now is load the program and let your first set of nanites go to work on your nerves.”

“If you’ll give me a hand. I can get to work on that right now.” Morgana holds her hand up for Caroline.

Caroline helps Morgana into her motorized chair. The two of them leave medical and head down to Morgana’s workshop, where the nanites were stored.

“Here they are.” Morgana shows Caroline the nanites.

Caroline looks at them and wonders who developed them. She knew some countries were still doing development on nanites and the latest test that had been done was on a terminal cancer patient. The doctor used nanites to remove the corrupted cells. They had done so well, the patient lived. The nanites were absorbed and flushed out of his body.

“Morgana, do you know who created these nanites?” Caroline was curious.

“Yes, but he’s dead right now. My friends Kat her husband Paul, Kat’s sister Rebecca and Rebecca’s husband Lev killed the men who created these nanites and modified their daughters.”

“Why would they modify their daughters?” Caroline was curious.

“Because Kat’s and Rebecca’s daughters were transgender and the organization that kidnapped them wanted to make them into true women and sell them off as sex slaves.” Morgana had asked Kat the same question.

“Did it work on them?”

“Yep, all three girls are fully functional women. August, Rebecca’s daughter has a baby.” Morgana had talked with August and discovered she had been pregnant.

“Well, since they managed to change the girl’s let’s get your nanites programmed and fix your spine.”

The next hour or so they figure Morgana and Caroline figure out how to program the nanites. Caroline checks the medical aspect over several times, before giving Morgana the okay to program the nanites.

“Hopefully this will work.” Caroline watches as Morgana transfer them to a special injector.

She charges the injector to energize the nanites with energy. She was feeling nervous as she hands the injector to Caroline.

“Here’s the moment of truth.”

“If we did things right, this should work.” Caroline kneels next to Morgana.

“I have my fingers cross.”

Caroline presses the injector against Morgana’s skin and pulls the trigger. The nanites flow from the injector and into Morgana’s body.

“Hopefully, this will work.” Caroline stands back up and waits to see what happens.

Medical Lab:
Morgana rubs her eyes as she watches the small samples of nanites she had reprogrammed build more nanites. So, far she had enough for a fifth shot, but she wanted to have some spares just in case. Bart’s wife was staying at the Castle in one of their spare quarters.

She rolls over to look at the scan that was taken yesterday after the shot. There was still a lot of scar tissue that needed to be removed. She still doesn’t feel any pain from the first treatment.

She heads down to the cafeteria to grab a fresh cup of coffee. It normally stayed open late for the third shift workers they had. As she rolls in, she notices the custodial staff was cleaning the place.

At first, she was against having a custodial staff, because of the nature of their work. However, Arthur made a good argument on having their own to clean the place. Every employee they hired went under a very strict background check. Their background checks were stricter than the governments.

As Morgana was fixing her coffee, she noticed that there was a new person among the custodial staff. She hadn’t seen the fellow before. She wonders who he was. She liked how he looked.

Thomas was glad he managed to find a new job to support his transition from female to male. The insurance company that Camelot had would help pay for his medical bills and cosmetic surgery he still needed and wanted. He had done his research about the place and learned that two of the owners had been male-to-female.

As he is moping the floor, he spots one of the owners of the company come rolling in, in her wheelchair. If his memory served him right, that would be the one named Morgana. She didn’t like using her last name unless she had too.

He heard from other employees that she was extremely smart and worked hard along with her partners to build Camelot into what it is. He also heard that she does work for a lot of black op’s groups and bounty hunters. He watches her as she fixes her coffee. She was cute and wouldn’t mind taking her out on a date.

Thomas finishes up mopping the cafeteria and moves on to cleaning the hallways. It was going to take the custodial staff most of the night to clean the castle. At least the main hall was easy to clean and polish.

Tinker’s Apartment:
Tinker was in her bedroom, testing out her new dildo. It’s been a while since she has been with anyone. She manages to have an orgasm as her eyes flutter. Afterward, she lays there exhausted and feeling better. She turns her new dildo off and uses a clean wipe to clean it. She puts it away in her nightstand.

She would love to meet a man or woman that she could love. Most men she has met in Kentucky were scared off by how much she knew. It was hard finding someone to date. She slowly falls asleep and wonders what tomorrow will bring.

Gloria’s Apartment:
Gloria finishes up the game she was playing and check her email. She wanted to make sure, the ticket information and hotel reservations she made for Aisha Walker had been confirmed. Once she confirms the information, she forwards that information to Aisha.

She checks the servers and the quantum computer to make sure everything was operating smoothly. She also checked their network connections, and everything was fine.

She gets up and head towards her bathroom and take a nice relaxing bath. She hopes everything works out for Morgana. She knows how much her best friend wants to walk again. She tosses some oil balls into the water and watches as they open.

Once the tub is where she likes it. She climbs in, winces slightly to how hot the water felt against her skin. Once her whole body was submerged, beneath the water. She leans back and enjoys the scent coming off the water and enjoy the heat.

She closes her eyes and just tries to relax, which is a hard thing for her to do. Her mind is always working on problems and ideas. The water slowly turns cool and she gets out.

Gloria walks into her bedroom after drying off and slipping a nightgown on. It was one of her favorite ones that her mother helped pick out. She heads towards her bed and lay down. She picks her tablet up off her nightstand and goes over what she needs to do tomorrow.

It wasn’t a long list, but there were a few important things to do. She puts her tablet back on her nightstand and closes her eyes. She lets sleep claim her.

Guest Quarters:
Caroline couldn’t believe the quarters she was given to stay in at the castle. It was decorated tastefully and was comfortable. She figures Morgana and her partners spent a lot of money to have the rooms here at the castle decorated. It had a rustic feel to it with a painting showing landscapes and animal artwork.

She spoke with Bart and he said they were about to wrap up their mission in England. She will be happy when he and their new daughters arrive home. She hopes the girls like their bedrooms. She takes a shower and gets ready for bed.

Morgana was heading back to her quarters, when she spots the young man she saw earlier, sitting and playing on his tablet. She was curious and rolls over to him.

“Break time already?” Morgana watches the young man.

Thomas looks up at Morgana “yes ma’am.”

Since Thomas didn’t smoke, he normally took a fifteen-minute break to check his email and any text messages he received while he was working. He never stopped what he was doing to answer text messages while he was working.

Morgana loved the color of his eyes. They were a deep blue color like the ocean. She was enchanted from just looking into them.

“Is everything okay, Morgana?” Thomas noticed how Morgana was staring into his eyes.

Thomas knew his eyes were the one trait he inherited from his birth father. He inherited most of his other features from his mother’s side of the family. His older and younger brother inherited their features from his father’s side.

Morgana shakes her head to clear it. She couldn’t believe how she became enticed with just his eyes.

“Yes, everything is fine. Your eyes are very beautiful.”

“Thank you. I hope I’m not out of line by saying you are very cute.” Thomas liked Morgana’s facial features and how she looked as well.

“Thank you for the compliment.” Morgana hasn’t had anyone compliment her since her prom.

“I mean it, Ms. Morgana. You are very cute.” Thomas smiles at Morgana.

“You heard the saying, flattery will get you everywhere.” Morgana was starting to like Thomas.

“I never say something I don’t mean, Morgana. I know this might get me fired, but I was wondering if you would go out with me on a date?”

“What do you have in mind?” It’s been a while since Morgana has gone out for anything.

“Dinner and maybe a movie or concert afterward” Thomas knew that a band was going to be playing in a few days.

“Let’s do dinner and see how things go from there.”

“Okay, how about I pick you up on Wednesday at 7:00 pm?”

“Or I could meet you at the restaurant?”

“That would be fine. How about we meet at the Golden Tiger Temple at 8:00 then?”

“Sounds good to me. You might want to get back to work before Lawrence finds out.” Morgana knew the chief of maintenance doesn’t like his people goofing off.

“I will and I’ll meet you on Wednesday as well.” Thomas gets up and puts his tablet away.

Morgana watches Thomas as he walks off.

Aisha looks out of the window of the private Lear jet she was flying in. Camelot Network Solutions had sent a private Lear to pick her up in Cambridge, Massachusetts and fly her to their headquarters in Sandy Hook, KY. She hated to leave Felix behind, but her poor kitty hated flying. Besides, Shelia would look after him.

She scrolls through a news article that had piqued her interest. There was a cybernetic company back in Sydney, Australia building cybernetic limbs for people. According to the interview that had been done about the company, they had managed to develop the technology to the extent, that the recipient had three quarters feeling in the replacement limb.

So, the technology was only available to replacement limbs like arms, hands, legs, and feet. They were still experimenting with eyesight and hearing. So, far they could give a person a black and white image but were working on color. The problem with it was the cost for the implant and then the training and operation cost.

Aisha takes a sip from the soda can she has been nursing since they took off. She finishes it as they touched down on the tarmac. She couldn’t believe it only took two-n-half hours to fly from Cambridge, Mass. to Sandy Hook, KY.

The plane lands and rolls to a hangar where she notices a curly blonde hair woman waiting for them. She figures that must be Gloria. Once the plane comes to a complete stop, she exits.

Hangar:
Gloria was worried that she would be late, picking up Aisha. She overslept because she stayed up late playing on her computer. She enjoyed several online games and stayed online too long. She covers up a yawn as the Lear Jet sent to fly Aisha comes to a complete stop. She watches as the hatch opens and Aisha comes walking down.

“Aisha, it's so nice to finally meet you.” Gloria holds her hand out to shake Aisha’s.

“It's nice to meet you as well Mrs. Lagana.” As Aisha extends her hand.

“Please, just call me Gloria. We’re informal at the Castle.” Gloria smiles at her.

“Castle?” Aisha was curious now.

A smirk appears on Gloria’s face “yeah, wait till you see it.”

The ground crew unloads Aisha’s bags and take them to Gloria’s car. After all her bags were loaded into Gloria’s car, she gives the ground crew a tip.

“Ready to go?” Gloria looks at Aisha.

“Sure, how long is the drive?”

“About thirty minutes. The Castle is on the other side of town and out in the countryside. We had to do that, because of the wind turbines we
have.” Gloria climbs into the car, at the same time as Aisha.

“I can’t wait to see the place.” Aisha’s curiosity was piqued.

“You’ll love it.” Gloria puts the car into gear and heads towards the Castle.

Medical Center, Camelot Network Solutions:
“Have you been experiencing any side effects from the first two treatments?” Caroline looks over towards Morgana for an answer.

“Other then a bloody discharged in my stool, no.” Morgana saw earlier when she did her morning business that there was blood in the toilet.

Since Morgana was still laying down on the medical bed, Caroline does another scan of her body. The scan showed that the scar tissue around the area of where Morgana was injured was clearing up. Since this was the first time Caroline or Morgana have done anything like this.
They didn’t know what to expect from the treatments.

“I wonder if it is the waste or scar tissue being flushed from your system from the nanites?” Caroline was curious.

“Do you want me to catch some of my waste?” Morgana knew that was going to be hard.

“Not yet but let’s keep that in mind should it happen again. I’m going to give you the third shot now. Let me know if you feel anything.” Caroline walks over and injects the third shot of nanites into Morgana’s body.

Morgana just lays on the bed as she watches their movement on the computer screen. The nanites head directly for her injury.

“Owe!” Morgana feels a sharp pain.

Caroline looks at Morgana after that outburst. She looks back at the computer screen and watches as the nanites continue to work.

“Owe!” Morgana was feeling a tingling sensation in her feet.

“Are you alright, Morgana?” Caroline was getting concerned.

“Yes, I’m feeling a tingling sensation in my feet and some pain at my injury site.” Morgana makes a face as the pain increases.
“Here let me give you something for the pain.” Caroline gives Morgana a morph shot to reduce the pain.

It takes a few seconds, but Morgana starts feeling better. She couldn’t believe how she felt or what she was watching on the screen as the nanites repaired the damage to her nerves.

“Tell me if you feel this?” Caroline strokes the bottom of Morgana’s right foot.

Morgana felt Caroline’s fingertip on the bottom of her foot. She couldn’t believe “I can feel your finger.”

Caroline testes the other foot “can you feel that?”

“Yes, I can feel your finger.” Morgana was getting excited.

“Good, if you’re feeling my fingers now, then we might not need the fifth treatment of nanites.” Caroline couldn’t believe that Morgana was
already getting results.

For the next hour, Caroline conducts some tests to see how much feeling Morgana was getting back from the nanite's work.

“Aisha, how long have you been programming?” Gloria glances over towards her.

“Since I was in high school in Australia.” Aisha was watching the countryside as they drove down the highway from the airport.

“You have an impressive resume and the people who you put down for references, gave you a glowing review.” Gloria was impressed with Aisha’s background.

“I love what I do. I do have a question, for you. What are you going to do with Venture Gaming and their current project?” Aisha was curious about that.

“That’s why we brought you out here. There some unusual activity going on with the company and with the current game your working on. Plus, I’m hoping you can shed some light on it.”

“What do you mean, by unusual activity?” That statement got Aisha’s attention.

“That Venture has more activity than it should. The membership doesn’t equal the level of activity the serves are receiving and sending out.”

“Humm, that does seem weird. I do know that in the new game I am working on. One of the programmers is adding or redoing code that I either add or others add.” Aisha wonders what Jester was doing.

“Who is the programmer?” Gloria wonders of all the programmers, who it was.

“It’s a programmer that goes by the handle of Jester. I think he might have something to do with the increasing activity.”

“Jester? I’ve never heard of a person going by that name.”

“He’s normally on after most of us have finished our coding for the day or in a few First Person Shooter games. He likes cheating.” Aisha didn’t like playing in any game he was in.

“Well, we’ll see how he likes me and a few others at Camelot.” Gloria loves combating would-be hackers.

Morgana’s Private Quarters:
Morgana was feeling sore from all the probing and testing Caroline put her through. She had more movement now with her legs. She could feel below her waist for the first in several years since the accident she had been in.

Caroline could only stay one more day before she had to head back to Texas. She wanted to be there when her new daughters arrived. As for Dakota’s stuff, they would pack her belongings up and send them to her at her new residence with Terry. However, she was going to write up a strict regiment for Morgana to follow.

She was amazed at how quickly the nanites had healed Morgana’s nerve damage and muscle damage. Now that Morgana was healed, she’ll have to work on building her muscles up in her legs. Caroline figures that with proper rehab, Morgana will get full use of her legs within a year or so.

Caroline hears her laptop beep. She walks over and notices it was her new daughters and they wanted to talk to her. A smile appears on her face, as she sits down to talk to them.

Wind Turbine Field:
Tinker and two of her assistants were out inspecting wind turbine thirty-four. The power flow from it was erratic. Tinker was up inside the tower testing the generator output.

“What are your readings, Tinker?” Kincaid was halfway up the tower checking the cables and the junction box.

Shelly was at the base of the tower with whatever replacement part they needed. She had a fear height and didn’t like climbing all the way up to the top.

“There within an acceptable range. I’m going to check the electronics control box.”

“Alright, everything is fine here.” Kincaid shuts the junction box.

Shelly could hear Kincaid and Tinker inside the huge tube they were in. She really didn’t like the wind turbines that much.

“Could the problem be at the transformer?” Shelly yells up at Kincaid.

“That’s our next stop, after checking the turbine itself.” Kincaid looks down at Shelly.

He was almost to the top of the tower, but could still hear when she yelled up at him. They could use the walkie talkies they had.

“Coming down.” Tinker starts climbing back down the ladder.

She checked the electrics control box and found no problem. She performed several tests to eliminate any doubts.

“Alright, I’m coming down, Shelly.” Kincaid heads down the ladder.

Shelly watches as Kincaid and Tinker come down the ladder. She grabs hold of his tool bag as he finally makes it to the bottom.

“You and Tinker are crazy climbing up that high.” Shelly had a teasing smile on her face.

“Come on goofy. You can check the transformer.” Tinker looks at Shelly.

“Oh, goodie!” Shelly walks over to the transformer and open the control panel.

Tinker and Kincaid watch her and stand-by to help if she needs it. She plugs her diagnostic cable from her PAD into the USB ports. She presses a few buttons on her PAD and starts running a few tests. One test shows her that the problem they were having was coming from the transformer.

“I think we found the problem. It’s the transformer here.” Shelly looks at Tinker.

“Great, that means we have to shut down this transformer and change out the main control box.” Kincaid wasn’t liking what they were going to have to do.

“Come on kiddie, its not too bad. Just be careful.” Tinker shuts the transformer down.

In the next few hours, Shelly and Kincaid work on the transformer, while Tinker supervise. She hands them the tools they need and the replacement part as well.

“Alright, I think we got the problem fixed.” Tinker hooks her PAD up to the transformer and runs a few tests.

All of them come out as passing. A smile appears on her face.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we have succeeded. Now, let's move onto our next job.” Tinker puts her PAD away and picks her tool bag up.

Shelly and Kincaid moan, as they pick their tool bags up and follow Tinker back to the Castle.

Wednesday, 8:00 pm, Golden Tiger Temple:
Thomas stood outside, waiting for Morgana to showed up. He spots the van she owned pulling into the parking lot. A smile appears on his face as he watches her park in the handicap parking space.

Morgana notices Thomas standing and waiting on her. This is the first time since the accident that she has been on a date. She does notice he was dress very handsomely. A smile appears on her face as she parks her van and exit from the van. It had been set-up for her to get in and out in her wheelchair.

A big smile appears on Thomas’s face as he watches Morgana exit from her van. He walks over to her “you look really beautiful.”

Morgana blushes from the compliment. She rolls forward towards him “you look handsome as well. Shall we go inside?”

“Let’s.” Thomas follows behind Morgana, just in case she needed his help.

When they walk into the restaurant, they are met by the hostess. She was a nice young-looking Japanese girl. She looked to be in her late twenties and was wearing an oriental design dress.

“How many in your party?” Yui looks at the young lady in the wheelchair.

She notices the young man behind her. He was handsome and had nice eyes.

“Just the two of us.” Thomas puts a smile on his face.

“This way please.” Yui escorts Thomas and Morgana over to a nice table.

Thomas and Morgana follow Yui over to a nice table. Morgana looks at the place as they are led to their table. She loved how it was designed.

“Here you go. Your waitress will be with you in a minute.”

“Thank you.” Thomas moves a chair aside for Morgana.

Morgana looks at Thomas “so, do you normally ask your boss out for dinner?”

Thomas smiles at Morgana “normally no, but I couldn’t help it when I saw you. You just look so beautiful.”

A smirk appears on Morgana’s face “you don’t need to lay it on thick. I did agree to come on this date with you.”

“Maybe I am laying it on a little thick, but remember I mean what I say.” Thomas just looks at Morgana with a smile on his face.

Their waitress comes over and takes their order. Thomas listens while Morgana orders first. Afterward, he places his order. When their waitress walks off.

“So, tell me a little about yourself.” Morgana had read Thomas’s personnel file and saw he had three jobs before the one he had now.

He had worked in auto parts, at a warehouse and the last job he had was at a temp company. It was the same temp company they got some of their employees from. According to Thomas records, he was a Female to Male transman. She didn’t mind, because Terry from Anika’s team was a female to a male transman.

“What would you like to know?” Thomas was still smiling at Morgana.

“Why don’t you tell me a little about yourself. Like what was your home life like?” Morgana wanted to know more then what was in Thomas's employee’s files.

“Well, since you insist. I come from a family of six. I have two older sisters and two younger brothers. I’m the middle child and have always known I was nothing like my sisters or my mother. I enjoyed working on cars with my male relatives, I enjoyed playing football and fought to be allowed to play on my high school football team.”

“Did they let you?” Morgana was curious.

“Nope, they said even though I was pretending to be a boy. The school wouldn’t allow me to play. I wasn’t allowed to take part in many of the sports in school if it was a male sport, all because I still had breasts and such. The school didn’t want to be held responsible, should something happen to me.” Thomas had been disappointed because he was a good football player.

“So, did you stay in school?”

“Yes, I stayed and graduated top of my class. However, I got the last word in on all the unfairness I faced. The speech I was asked to write and give tore into every homophobic belief the staff members had and the parents out in the audience.” Thomas remembers the shocked looks and such he had gotten from giving it.

“After High school, I went to a trade school to learn how to work on cars. I was good and the garage I had gotten a job at. The other mechanics didn’t like the fact that I was better than them and that I was a transman. I got into a fight with several of them when they tried to make me a girl.”

“Try to make you a girl?” Morgana wonders if that meant, what she thought it meant.

“Yep, they tried to make me a girl. I ended up putting them in the hospital and changing their religion.” Thomas takes a sip of his sweet tea.

“What did you do after that?” Morgana takes a sip of her tea.

“Worked freelance for a while and then managed to get a warehouse job. That job wasn’t too bad. They didn’t care what I had under my clothes or how I felt. However, their medical insurance wasn’t the best in the world. So, I applied for the janitorial job here at Camelot.”

Just before Morgana was going to ask a question, their waitress brings them their order. She watches as the waitress puts their order on the table. Once she walks off, Morgana looks at Thomas.

“So, what do you like about Camelot?” As Morgana opens her chopsticks.

“Well, I love the benefits package for the employees and the fact that I don’t have to leave the premises to grab something to eat. I also like
one of the owners as well.” Thomas smiles at Morgana.

Morgana just smiles as she takes a bite of her food.

Camelot, Gloria’s Workstation:
Gloria brought Aisha to the castle and showed her the room she will be staying in. Afterward, Gloria takes Aisha up to her work station.

“I’m jealous. I have never seen anything like this before.” Aisha stands back and just look at Gloria’s workstation.

Gloria didn’t have a normal desk chair at her station. It was more like a lounger, where you laid down on it. She could tell the lounger was made for gamers. Because there were controls on the armrest for the user and there were speakers up near the headrest.

“I’m glad you like it. Our chief engineer here, custom makes these loungers for all the owners. Each lounger is engineered so the user doesn’t have to do a thing.” Gloria liked their new loungers for their stations.

It had its own heating and cooling units built into them. She saw the next generation of loungers that Tinker was working on. It was a completely self-contained unit with holographic displays.

“Well, I would love to own one.” Aisha knew exactly where she would put it in her apartment.

“Can you show me some of Jester coding?” Gloria wanted to look at it.

“Sure, do you have a spare keyboard and such?” Aisha didn’t know if Gloria wanted her touching her unit.

“Go ahead and sit on my lounger and log in like you normally do.” Gloria pulls a chair over to her lounger.

“Okay.” Aisha lays down on the lounger and connects to the internet, through a secure line.

Gloria watches as Aisha uses her equipment. She could tell that Aisha was a little unsure of how her stationed worked but after a few minutes. Aisha managed to figure out how things were set up.

Aisha stumbles around Gloria’s workstation. She wasn't used to how things were set up. It takes her a few minutes to learn how things work, but she manages to log on and go directly to the portal she uses to login to work on the code. She logins and goes to the code she has been working on.

Aisha scans the game code and finds where Jester added a few things to the code. She highlights the code for Gloria “here you go, Gloria. Here’s Jester’s coding.”

“Throw it up on the big screen.” Gloria wanted a better view of it.

“Umm, how do you do that?” Aisha looks at Gloria with a confused look on her face.

“Sorry. Here, let me show you.” Gloria shows Aisha how to show what she was seeing on the big screens.

Aisha watches Gloria and notices what she was seeing duplicates on the big screen. Aisha points out Jester’s coding.

“See, right here. This is Jesters coding and this is mine. Here and here are Black Clown’s and Sparrow’s coding.”

Gloria looks at the coding. It was messy, but it worked. The code itself could be done in a different way. All her time on the internet, she has never seen anything so bad. She continues to read the code.

“Here’s what so strange.” Aisha brings up the code that has been stumping her.

Gloria watches as the code appears. Something about it seem familiar to her.

“What does this code do?” Gloria was curious.

“Don’t know. Every time I try to run it, I get kicked off or sent somewhere else in the game code.” Aisha had tried several times to see what the code was meant to do.

“Let’s see if I can figure this out.” Gloria trades places with Aisha.

Late Night, Gloria’s Workstation:
Aisha was trying to stay awake as she watched Gloria go through each line of code. She was amazed at how fast Gloria could go through the coding. She managed to spot the different styles from the people who wrote the codes.

She watches as Gloria starts the game and try several things. She notices Gloria runs into the same problem she did.

“See what I mean? You can’t get to the section that you need to.” It has frustrated Aisha to no end and she hated that.

“Actually, yes. I do see what you are talking about and I think I know what you and I are doing wrong.” Gloria had figured out the pattern.

“Oh? What are we doing wrong?” Aisha covers up a yawn.

She glances at her cellphone and notices it was four in the morning. She couldn’t believe they have been at the code as long as they have.
She covers up another yawn.

“You have to do the entrance in a certain pattern and enter a code.” Gloria had finally found the section that you had to enter a code.

“So, how do you get the code?” Aisha hadn’t spotted that.

“You get the code from a game code dongle.” Gloria had a few around she could use.

“How about if you don’t have one?” Aisha covers up another yawn.

“I just happened to have a special program I wrote a long time ago that will work for us.” Gloria had written the program to break into an arms supplier computer. He thought he could be smart and make all his clients use one.

She brings her old program up and makes some adjustments to it, to match the code in the game. She double checks everything, before activating it.

“Here’s goes nothing.” Gloria follows the process that she discovered.

Aisha watches as Gloria follows the process. She noticed that there were two paths they could take. Gloria takes one path and notices it was where a seller could post what they were selling.

“I’ll be damn. It’s a black market sales contact.” Aisha had stood up to look at the form and information you enter to sell whatever you had.

“Let’s look at the other path.” Gloria backs out of that one and goes to the other path and enters.

A list of available services and items for sale. The list had everything you could want. You could buy the services and commodities of anything.

“I can’t believe Jester is part of this.” Aisha knew Jester was crazy, but she never thought he would be part of something like this.

Gloria launches a snooper program into the system to locate the last IP addresses of the last users. She also downloads a listing of everything they were finding and who was offering the product.

“Should we shut this down?” Aisha looks at Gloria for an answer.

“No, lets discreetly monitor it and see what else is going on.” Gloria manages to break into the code and adds one of her own.

She makes it part of the entrance program. No one will know its there or the fact it is recording everyone who enters. Once the programs are placed. Gloria logs out and leaves the gaming computer system.

“Now, we know why you kept getting kicked around, Aisha.” Gloria looks over towards Aisha.

She notices that Aisha was looking extremely tired. She glances at the clock and it was almost five in the morning.

“Come on, let's get you to bed.” Gloria locks her station and escorts Aisha to her room.

Aisha follows Gloria to a different floor they were on. She was impressed by how the place was set up.

“Do you guys normally stay up this late hacking people?” Aisha was curious.

“I wouldn’t say we hack people. I would phrase it as defending the innocent from crooks who know how to use computers and from
themselves. As for staying up late, yes. We tend to keep unusual hours here at the castle. That’s why we have our apartments here” A smile appears on Gloria’s face.

“Makes sense. It cuts down on travel time and you can continue to work on whatever you were working on, later.” Aisha covers up another yawn.

“Exactly.” Gloria stops in front of a wooden door.

She opens the door with a key card and walks in first. Aisha follows behind Gloria.

“Hope you like it.” Gloria steps aside to let Aisha look the room over.

She loved the huge bed in the middle of the room. She saw that her things were already in the room and set up for her.

“Wow! Your staff around here is good.” Aisha couldn't believe it.

“They are and they are very trustworthy as well.” Gloria and the rest of the higher-ups do a deep background check on everyone they hire.
Sometimes they use clients like K&P and others to check out their employees as well.

Aisha turns around to face Gloria “what do we do tomorrow or later?”

“Go ahead and get some sleep and we’ll talk about it when you wake-up.” Gloria turns around and walks out of the room.

Aisha watches Gloria leave. Afterward, she changes out of the clothes she has on.

“Come on Morgana. You need to do four more.” Thomas was watching Morgana as she exercised.

Morgana looks over at Thomas. She couldn’t believe he came in early to help motive her. Bart’s wife had left late last night and was on her way back to Texas to meet her new daughters and her husband.

“You know, this might be easy for you to do, but it's not for me.” Morgana walks up three stairs and backs down again.

She was still getting uses to being able to use her legs. She steps up the stairs and backs down again on the other side. Her leg muscles were screaming at her. Morgana does it three more times before she collapses into her wheelchair.

Thomas walks over and looks down at Morgana “how are you feeling?”

“Sore and tired.” Morgana’s thighs and calves were screaming at her.

“Let’s go back to your quarters, so I can massage your legs.”

“Deal.” Morgana heads towards the gym door.

She wheels out into the hallway that leads from the gym and towards the elevator. It takes her up to the floor her quarters were located on. She winces from the pain she was feeling from her leg muscles.

Once Morgana and Thomas arrive at her quarters. Thomas helps Morgana over to her bed, after spreading some towels down for her to lay on. Morgana props her head up on a pillow.

“Oh, that feels so good.” Morgana felt Thomas’s hands as they started kneading her sore muscles.

She closes her eyes and just let him have full roam of her legs and back. It has been a long time since any male has touched her body. She hopes she isn’t making a mistake, by getting involved with one of her employees.

Thomas takes his time and gently massage Morgana’s body. He could see some of the scars she has from the car accident she had been in when she was sixteen years old. She had told him what happened.

“Are you feeling better?” Thomas’s hands were on the upper part of Morgana’s thighs.

“Yes,” A low moan escapes from her mouth.

“So, how do you feel now that you have some use of your legs again?”

“No, I don’t feel so damn restricted anymore. It’s nice to be able to feel my legs and have some form of mobility again.” Morgana turns to look at Thomas.

“Well, I hope nothing goes wrong.” Thomas places a kiss on Morgana’s lower back.

Morgana shivers from Thomas kissing her on the lower part of her back. She felt it and liked it. She moans as Thomas hits a tight spot.

“I think I found the right spot.” Thomas continues working on that spot and finally moves on to another spot.

Morgana slowly starts to fall asleep. Her legs muscles weren’t hurting her anymore. She slowly drifts off to sleep.

A smile appears on Thomas’s face as he notices Morgana drift off.

Tinker’s Workshop:
Tinker takes a sip of her coffee as she looks over the reports. Everything that was connected by the building's computer system was showing the castle was operating without any problems. She leans back in her office chair and looks at the monitors in her office.

The security center had more monitors then she did and covered more area of the castle. She could access the feed if she wanted to, but she didn’t need to. The images she was looking at, were of the parking area, the server rooms, and several other important areas of the castle.

She taps a few keys on her keyboard and the energy readings from all their wind turbines, the solar collectors that made up the road, the parking lot, and the special windows the castle had. Plus, the thermal generators the castle had as well. They were producing more energy than they needed.

She sends that report to Morgana and Arthur. They might consider cutting back on the wind turbines. Their back-up storage units were fully charged. When her coffee cup was empty, Tinker gets up and heads towards operations to see if there was anything special Arthur needed her to do.

Aisha’s Quarters:
Aisha wakes-up by noontime. She covers up a yawn as she tries to get her mind working. She reaches down under the covers and rubs her stump. Sometimes, she still gets ghost pains from her missing right leg.

Aisha moves to the edge of the bed and pick her artificial leg up and reattach it to her stump. Once her artificial legs are on, Aisha gets up and heads towards the bathroom to do her morning business. She wonders if Gloria was up right now. They had gone to bed around five in the morning.

She looks through the clothes she brought with her. She was looking for the T-shirt dress she packed. It had a picture of a cloud on the front of it and underneath the cloud, in bold white block letters it said, There is no cloud.

She slips on her ankle boots and grabs her small purse. Gloria told her that the castle had a cafeteria where she could get something to eat. She heads out of the room she was staying in and don to the cafeteria on the first subfloor.

When she walks in, she could see that the people who work at the castle were enjoying the meals they got. Aisha loved how the place was set up. She grabs some freshly made French toast with powder sugar.

Once she pays for it, she looks around for an empty table and spot one. Aisha walks over towards it and sits down. As she is eating her food, a young woman wearing a pair of coveralls approaches with light brown curly hair approaches her table.

“Excuse me, do you mind if I sit here with you?” Jessie finally managed to take her lunch on time for once.

“No, please join me.” Aisha saw that the coveralls had Jessie’s name on them.

“Thanks.” Jessie places her tray on the table and starts unloading everything on it.

Jessie notices the woman she was sharing a table with, had gotten French toast. She also notices the saying on the other woman’s dress. Once she puts the tray away, she sits down across from Aisha.

“So, I take it by your dress, that you’re a computer expert?” Jessie knew the castle had a lot of computer specialists working at it.

She worked in support under Tinker. She enjoyed working under her. Tinker was knowledgeable and never asked you to do something, she wouldn’t do herself.

“I’m a programmer and I’m here as a guest of Gloria.” Aisha takes a bite of her French toast.

“Cool. I’m Jessie by the way.” Jessie holds her hand out to shake.

“Aisha.” Aisha shakes Jessie’s hand.

“So, what do you do here, Jessie?”

“I work in support. If there’s a problem or computer that isn’t working right. I’m the person my boss sends. There’s nothing that she can’t fix or build.”

“Do you enjoy your work?”

“God yes. The last company I worked for. They were jerks and kept giving me the crappy jobs. They felt that women shouldn’t be doing
mechanical work. Plus, they paid me less, than my male counterparts.”

“I know what you mean. Its like companies don’t want to pay equal pay and expect you to do as much as a male or more.” That was why Aisha liked working for herself.

“Exactly, companies nowadays, just want to turn you into slave labor and degrade you. I was happy when Camelot started hiring people.” Jessie takes a bite of her food.

“What part of your job do you enjoy?” Aisha looks at Jessie’s face.

“Hhhmmm? That’s a good question. I would have to say, the different jobs I get assigned. One day I could be working on the wind turbines and the next, I could be installing or fixing computers.”

“I can see how that would be interesting. You’re not doing the same thing day in and day out.” Aisha takes another bite of her food.

Aisha and Jessie just make small talk for the rest of their meal.

Morgana wakes-up and feels an arm resting on her side. She could feel a body spooned against her body. She looks at her body and could see someone had slipped her baby doll nightgown onto her body.

The last thing she remembered, was Thomas massaging her body. A warm feeling spread throughout her body because she hasn’t slept with anyone since the car accident. She wiggles her toes and enjoys the sensation of feeling them wiggle.

She feels Thomas hold her closer to his body. She closes her eyes, as he starts kissing and nibbling on her ear. She feels his hand inch up under her nightgown and starts massaging her breast.

A low moan echoed in her throat as she continues to kiss Thomas. It’s been so long since anyone has touched her body. She rolls over to lay on her back and pull Thomas on top of her.

She spreads her legs, so Thomas could lay in between them. It felt weird to her to make her legs move. She shivers as Thomas starts kissing down her body.

Little moans of pleasure escape from her mouth as Thomas moves down her body. She was enjoying the feeling of his lips, on her body. When he got down between her legs, she arches her back off the bed.

“Oh, God!” As she holds his head against her sex.

The rush she got from his tongue probing her, was unbelievable. It has been so long since anyone has touched her in the way Thomas has. Tears of pleasure were sliding down from her eyes.

Morgana watches as Thomas kisses up her body. She could feel him sliding his boxer down. She looks into his eyes as he looks up to her, asking permission to enter her.

“Yes.” Morgana knew Thomas was a Female-to-Male and was wearing a huge strap-on.

Thomas slowly inserts the huge strap-on he was wearing into Morgana’s body. He knew it has been a long time since she has had sex with anyone. He watches her facial expression as he slowly enters and stretched her opening.

Morgana grips the sheet under her as she feels Thomas enter and stretch her. The penis shape strap-on he was wearing was thick and was filling her vagina up. She hasn’t had anyone for a long time to make love to her.

In the next few hours, Thomas and Morgana spend time together. Morgana wants to experience everything she has been missing, since the car accident.

Gloria and Aisha:
Gloria had woken-up and checked the trap they had set. The program recorded four entries, since yesterday.

“It looks like you were right.” Aisha noticed that Jester was acting as a middleman.

“So, what do you want to do?” Aisha looks at Gloria.

“Well, we need to backtrack to see who is sending information to the site.” Gloria backtraces the IP addresses she had the main program record when someone logged in.

It looked like they were bouncing the address through several different sites. Aisha was watching Gloria as she back-traced the Ip addresses the program recorded. While Gloria did that, she logs on a different station and backtraces Jester’s Ip address. After a few minutes, she realizes he’s spoofing his IP address. He was using one belonging to a company called Boone’s Television Shop.

“Okay, Jester. Since you want to play, let’s play.” She goes through all his logins and searches for his true IP address. She knows he has logged in from his home computer before. All she has to do is find his login.

She searches some of his favorite online game sites and finally finds him. A smile forms on her face, as she boots him from the game and locks his account. When he tries to bypass her lockout, she slips into his computer system and plants a backdoor. She places it in the ram in his system.

She slips out of his system before he can tell she was in his system. Aisha looks over towards Gloria “I managed to install a back door in Jester’s computer.”

“Hopefully, he won’t find it. Also, is it the same computer he uses to hack others?” Gloria uses different computers for hacking and playing
online games.

“That, I don’t know. I just know the man is a jerk.” Aisha didn’t like Jester.

“Do you know what he looks like?” Gloria was curious.

“Yeah, I grabbed a screenshot of him, once without him knowing.” Aisha had managed to access his camera without him knowing.

She logs onto her cloud account and brings his picture up. She shows the picture to Gloria.

“Did you run his image to see who he is?” Gloria was looking at a young man in his mid-twenties.

“Nope, I never bother too. I didn’t have a reason too.” Aisha never had a reason too.

“Send me the picture.”

“Okay.” Aisha sends the picture to Gloria’s private email account.

Gloria gets the notification she had a new email. She opens it and runs the picture Aisha sent her through the DMV database. Gloria also sends the picture through the local and international criminal database.

His criminal record comes back clean. However, the address that was registered with DMV, wasn’t the address the signal was coming from.
“He is using a fake address.” Gloria used one of her trace programs and combined it with Google Maps to locate Jester.

The name that came back from DMV was Jarrod Haniss. He was 25 years old and had brown hair and hazel eyes. His weight was two hundred and twenty pounds, according to his driver's license. He stood five feet, seven inches.

Aisha looked at the location where Jester lived. It was in a nice neighborhood. It was mostly the middle class. She runs the address of the place to see who owns the place.

When the information comes back “the address belongs to his parents. I wonder if they know what he does?”

“I doubt it.” Gloria knew a few hackers that lived with their parents.

“So, what’s our next move?”

“We pass the information onto law enforcement.” Gloria gathers all the information together.

“Alright.” Aisha helps as the two of them work to make sure there is enough evidence to get a conviction.

Tinker couldn’t believe she finally had a day off from work. Instead of spending it at the castle, she decided to go and see a movie and later do some shopping. There was a new SciFi movie out that she wanted to see.

She takes her car, instead of the company car into town. The first place she stops at is one of the local restaurants in town. She wasn’t picky about what type of food they served.

Tinker decides to stop at a place called The Blue Byrd for lunch. It was a nice family-owned restaurant that served comfort food. She heads over towards a booth and sits down. A few minutes later, a young teenage girl with long straight black hair comes over.

“Hi, I’m Kate and I’ll be your waitress for today. Here is one of our menus.” As she sets the menu in her hands down on the table. “Is there anything I can get you to drink?”

“Yes, a nice tall glass of sweet tea if you have any.”

“Oh, we have the best sweet tea, around.” A friendly smile appears on Kate’s face.

“Good.” Tinker picks the menu up and starts looking through it.

Kate walks off to go and get her tea.

“Tinker Wilson, is that you?” Leon couldn’t believe he was seeing his old girlfriend in his favorite restaurant.

While Tinker is sitting in the booth, she hears a familiar voice. She looks up from the menu at the person standing near her. A smile appears on her face “Leon, what are you doing here?”

“Getting ready to have some lunch. Do you mind if I join you?” Leon hasn’t seen his old girlfriend, since high school.

“Please, take a seat.” Tinker didn’t mind Leon joins her.

Leon sits down across from Tinker. He looks at her and couldn’t believe how much she has changed seen the high school.

“So, are you still working for your uncle?”

“No, he retired and moved to Florida to enjoy the warm weather and play golf with others his age.” Tinker misses her uncle, but after the suicide bomb that went off at the school, they were working at. He decided to retire after that incident.

“So, where are you working now?”

“I’m the chief engineer for Camelot Network Solutions. How about you? Are you still in the military?”

“I did four years and got out. I’m working for D&M Electrical contractors now. I’ve been with them for a while.”

Kate comes over and places a glass of ice tea in front of Tinker. She looks at the gentleman sitting in the booth.

“Is there anything I can get you, sir?” Kate pulls her order book out.

“Yes, I would like a large coke and your number four. Medium well done, please.” Leon knew their menu like the back of his hand.

Kate turns to face Tinker “do you know what you would like to order, ma’am?”

“Yes, I’ll have your homemade meatloaf, wrapped in bacon, with the gravy on the potatoes, please.” Tinker hands the menu to Kate.

Kate takes the menu and walks off to place the order and get the coke for Leon. She takes his drink back to him, right away.

“Thank you, Kate.” Leon accepts it.

She smiles at him and walks off.

“You seem to still have that famous charm of yours,” Tinker remembers how all the girls in school wanted to date Leon.

She also knew it was the reason they broke up as well. That, and the fact he got Betty Miller pregnant before the prom.

“I can’t help that women find me charming. Is there anyone special in your life?” Leon was curious because he would love to get back with Tinker.

“No, I’m single. How about you? Did you end up marrying Betty Miller?”

“No, she didn’t want to get marry and I have joint custody of my daughter. I’m sorry I cheated on you when we were in high school.”

“It’s in the past. There’s nothing that can change what has been done.” Tinker still held some anger about it.

“Still, it was a shitty thing to do to you, just before prom. I know you would never do anything like that, to me.”

“You should have thought about that, back when we were dating.” Tinker takes a sip of her sweet tea.

After a few minutes, their meals arrive. Leon looked at his steak and loved how it looked. Tinker looked at her meatloaf and could smell the
bacon coming off it. They start eating and saying very little to each other.

Morgana’s Quarters, Camelot:
Morgana kisses down Thomas’s body in the shower. She loved how his chest was sculptured and the six-packs he had. She takes the artificial cock he always wears into her mouth and starts sucking on it.

After a while, she turns around so he could penetrate her vagina and her ass. She loved it when he pounded into her body and squeezed her breasts. After they leave the shower and are laying side by side on her bed. She looks at Thomas and wishes she could give him what he wants.

“How much is the surgery for you to get your penis?” Morgana wonders if she could help with the nanites that repair her body.

“Too much. It would be cheaper to be a male to female, than for me to have my penis.” Thomas looks at the fake one standing up.

“How about I call my doctor friend and see if we might be able to combine her medical knowledge, with the nanites that repaired my damaged nerves in my back?” Morgana turns to look at Thomas.

“It’s a good idea, but I would want a fully functional penis. The only way I think that would be possible would be to print up the organ itself from my cells and attach it to my body. As far as I know, the printers that can print out organs, are still in the experimental stage.” Thomas looks at Morgana.

“Let me and my team do some research. After all I have connections with a lot of people in the medical and engineering field that might be able to help us. Also, what would you do with your uterus and ovaries if the operation could be done?”

“I would donate them to a transgender female, so they could experience what it would be like to carry a baby.” Thomas was watching Morgana’s reactions to that statement.

“But don’t you want kids, one day? Someone to carry on your family line?”

“I could freeze some of my eggs and let you carry them for me.” As Thomas places his hand on her belly.

“If I have children, it's going to be when I am in my late thirties. I’m too busy now to ever have children.”

“Well, I hope if that day ever comes, I’m their father.” He places a kiss on Morgana’s lips.

“The only way that is going to happen, is if you ever propose to me.” She kisses him back.

A smile appears on Thomas’s face “let’s see how the next few weeks pan out first. If we are still going strong. Then I ask you to be my wife.”

“Sounds good to me.” Morgana snuggles closer to Thomas.

Gloria holds Aisha’s sleeping body against her. They had wrapped up the problem they had with Jester and went in and rewrote the game code for the game he had been using. Afterward, they had gone to Gloria’s room and played a game together.

When Aisha started falling asleep while playing the game. Gloria talked Aisha into spending the night with her. So, the two of them end up in Gloria’s bed together. They didn’t do anything, except sleep. Sometime during the night, Aisha ended up snuggling close to Gloria’s body.

Gloria didn’t care, because she swung both ways. She enjoyed having sex with men, as well as with women. She strokes Aisha’s back gently and continues to hold her as they laid together.

She saw Aisha’s artificial leg last night and wonder if there is a bionic one Aisha could use. She’ll have to do some research into the matter for Aisha. She wonders if Aisha would want a bionic leg. Something to think about.

Tinker couldn’t believe she had spent the night with her old high school boyfriend as she drove back to the Castle. She was also kicking herself for having unprotected sex with him as well. She shouldn’t have had those glasses of wine during dinner and afterward. She adjusts how she is sitting. Her anal opening was sore from taking his huge penis and her vagina was sore as well, from how many times the two of them made love last night.

She reaches into her purse and takes out a few aspirins. She was feeling some pain from her cervix. Leon had rammed his twelve-inch penis in her so deep, that he had hit her cervix several times. It did feel nice to see Leon again and it had been so long since the last time she had sex.

She stops at the security gate to let the guard on duty check her in. He puts her identity card in the reader and after a few seconds, it clears her to enter the property. Afterward, she heads towards her assigned parking space and park.

Jessie was doing inventory when she notices Tinker walking in. She stops what she was doing and look at Tinker “you have a glow about you.
Did you meet someone last night?”

Tinker looks at Jessie “I ran into my old high school boyfriend.”

“Ah, now that explains the glow you have this morning. So, how was he?” Jessie was curious because she hasn’t been out with anyone lately.

“Let’s just say, I had a VERY good time, last night.” Tinker walks over to her desk and signs onto her computer.

Jessie notices Tinker walking a little funny. A smirk appears on her face as she gets back to work. She wonders how well hung he was and how many times Tinker and he had sex.

Tinker glances at Jessie to see what she was doing. The aspirins she took were starting to kick in. She hopes she doesn’t become pregnant from her romp last night.

Morgana’s Office:
Arthur drops by Morgana’s office to talk to her about the relationship going on between her and Thomas. He stops at her workstation and looks at her.

“Hey, do you a minute?”

Morgana looks at Arthur and wonders what was bothering him.

“Sure, come in and sit down.” She motions to a nearby chair.

Arthur sits down in the offered chair. He looks at Morgana and could tell she was doing better since she took the shots with the nanites.

“How are you feeling, now that you have the use of your legs again?” Arthur was curious about how Morgana was doing.

“Like I did before the car accident. You don’t know how lucky you are until you lose something.” Morgana couldn’t put into words how she was feeling.

“That’s good to hear. Look, the main reason I came over to talk with you, besides finding out how you are doing with the use of your legs. Is
that word has gotten to me about a relationship developing between you and a person by the name of Thomas Wallace?”

Morgana was surprised that Arthur was concerned about the developing relationship between her and Thomas. Thomas wasn’t in any of her departments and was just a custodian working at the Castle.

“He’s been helping me with my physical therapy, and we have spent some time together after work. He’s on the custodial staff, so he isn’t in any department that answers to you or me.” If he had been, Morgana would have put a stop to the relationship.

“Still, that sends a bad message to others, Morgana. People are going to think about him getting special treatment from you.”

“Which he isn’t. Look, I know this is an unusual relationship, Arthur. But I can handle any problems that might come up. Hell! He even said he
would quit if our relationship created problems for us. Does that sound like someone looking for special treatment?” Morgana knew Arthur was a fair and honest person. That was what she liked about him.

Arthur just looks into Morgana’s eyes and could see she liked Thomas. He hopes he isn’t making a mistake here “alright, I’ll let you handle this problem. However, if it starts to get out of hand, I’ll be forced to step in and handle it. I can’t fire you, but I can fire him.”

“Trust me, if we’re making that much of a mess, I’ll fire him myself.” Morgana worked hard to put this company together and she wasn’t going to have it taken away from her.

“Alright. So, what new projects are in the works?”

“Well...” As Morgana starts informing Arthur of the different projects going on.

Gloria’s Bedroom a few hours later:
Aisha finally starts to wake-up. She opens her eyes and was looking at Gloria’s left nipple. She glances upward and notices Gloria looking down at her.

“Sorry, I didn’t know I made myself so comfortable against your body.” Aisha’s cheeks turn red from embarrassment.

“It’s alright, Aisha. I don’t mind.” Gloria leans down and kisses Aisha on the lips.

Aisha returns the kiss. It’s been a long time since she has had any physical contact in a sexual form. She continues to kiss Gloria. She enjoys the tongue play between the two of them.

The next half-n-hour Gloria fingers Aisha several times, causing her to have several orgasms. Aisha returns the favor and causes Gloria to have several mind-blowing orgasms.

“You know, this can become rather complicated.” Aisha looks up at Gloria from between her spread legs.

“How so?” Gloria was trying to think straight.

“Well, I live in Boston and you live here. If we decide to continue to see each other, it would be a long-distance relationship.”

“Or you could always come and work here permanently.” Gloria wouldn’t mind having Aisha here at the Castle.

“Can I think about it and see how our relationship develops?” Aisha didn’t want to drop everything if they didn’t get along.

“Sounds fair.”

“Good.” Aisha gives Gloria another kiss.

One Month Later:
Tinker couldn’t believe how stupid she had been having unprotected sex with her ex-boyfriend. She looks at the home pregnancy test she just got finish taking. She couldn’t believe she had gotten pregnant. A smile appears on her face as she wonders what her child will look like.

She walks over to the end table where her cellphone was and picks it up. She calls her OB/GYN and makes an appointment to go in. She wanted a second opinion to confirm what the test just told her. Her uncle will be over the moon to learn she is pregnant.

Tinker starts getting ready for work as she thinks about becoming a mother. She wonders should she tell her ex-boyfriend that he managed to impregnate her. It wasn’t like it was his fault. She should have bought some rubbery duckies for him to wear and she should have taken her birth control pills.

Once she was ready for work, she leaves her apartment and walks down to her office. She was thankful she had a place inside the Castle to live. Once she arrives at her office and logs onto her computer, she discovers that she has over fifty emails waiting on her.

“God, we need to cut down on all these emails.” Tinker knew it was necessary, but sometimes she would like to come in and have nothing waiting on her.

She goes through the work orders first and assigns them to her team members. Afterward, she reads the emails sent to all employees about upcoming events and upgrades that will be going on. The last were personal emails she received from her people and friends. One, in particular, catches her attention immediately.

The email had been sent from a person she didn’t know, but they knew her. The person was hoping that she had a job opening because they needed the work. They were willing to separate trash and such.

Tinker looks at the email and wonder where the person knew her from. She has only worked at a few places, before coming to the Castle. She looks at the resume that had been sent with the email.

A lot of the jobs on the resume seemed to be low levels job a temp worker would do. There were numerous skills listed and so many jobs. Tinker leans back in her chair and stares at the email and resume. The person had a lot of skills, but nothing that would work in her department, but it bothers her that this person knew her.

She leans forward and sends a response to the person. She’ll meet with them and see who they are and how they knew her. She sends the email and waits to see if they will respond.

Gate’s Box Company, Sandy Hook, KY.:
“Jenny, move that stack of box forms over to unit 3.” Keith watches as Jenny struggles to move the pallet they were stacked on.

Jenny finally manages to move the pallet. It was taking everything she had, but she manages to move it. Once it was at unit 3, Jenny starts loading the hopper. She manages to get it done before lunch was called.

Jenny walks out to her motorcycle and open the saddlebag and pull her lunch bag out. She finds a nice spot to sit down and eat. As she is eating, her cellphone beeps let her know she just received an email. She looks at it and notices it was from Tinker. She wanted to know what day she could come in for an interview.

A smile appears on her face. She couldn’t believe Tinker got back to her. She was hoping she would. She hated the current job she had and didn’t like the bullying that went on here. She sends Tinker a date and time she would like to show up.

Camelot Networking:
Morgana was busy looking over the information she received about getting Thomas a fully working penis and testicles. According to what she had, there were three options available to him. The first was constructing a penis from Thomas’s flesh, but it wouldn’t be a real penis or work like a real one. The second one was getting an organ transplant and having that attached. However, they would have to sterilize the testicles, to not produce semen. Because it was an ethical problem. So, that left the third option, which was still experimental.

Blake Medical could print the organ up from Thomas’s DNA and it would be fully functional. She could help them with her knowledge of nanites and could make it, so it works with Thomas’s body. She couldn’t wait to tell him tonight when he came over for dinner.

She watches as an email appears. It was from Anika at Eruption Communication. She opens it and starts reading it. The email said it was time to start Protocol 52.

“What the hell is Protocol 52?” Morgana looked puzzled.

She searches for the file she has Jack Bounty. He gave her the file when they became partners. She scrolls through the list and comes to protocol 52.

“Holy Shit! He wants me to go to war against the Hunter’s and this Human Superior League.”

Morgana has already done some research on the organizations.

“They must have done something really bad to piss Mr. Bounty off for him to go to war.” Morgana sends an email to the rest of her team. They are going to bring everything they have to bear against these organizations.

Gloria and Aisha:
“So, how is the new job?” Gloria was face timing with Aisha.

“It’s a challenge. I have to go and rewrite the original software the Disability Center uses. It won’t work with Windows 10 and they want to keep it.” Aisha had been hired to rewrite the software for the State government agency.

“Well, if you need any help, you know I’m willing to help out.” Gloria missed Aisha a lot. She never thought she would.

“Have you found out anything else about that bionic company you were telling me about last time?” Aisha and Gloria had talked about finding a bionic leg for her.

“Yes, and unfortunately they are under investigation for a bunch of illegal things. The owner was responsible for the illegal transformation of a subject. He also was involved in the cyber replacement of some criminals. He recently escapes custody from the FBI along with several others.”

“Well, damn. That sucks. Is anyone else working on bionic limbs?”

“Yes, Blake Medical, Wolf Cybernetics, Cybertronics, and a few others. So, the leading companies are Wolf Cybernetics, Blake Medical, and Cybertronics.”

“How much would the process cost?” Aisha was worried about the cost.

“That’s something that could be worked out. Blake Medical and Wolf Cybernetics have a program, that allows the participants to get the surgery and monitor them. They won’t have to pay anything for the bionic limb or the surgery either.”

“That sounds encouraging. How do I apply for the program?” Aisha was willing to try the program.

“Let me get in touch with the rep I know over there and have them contact you.” Gloria hopes Aisha can get the approval for the program.

“Thanks. I have to go Gloria, so here’s a kiss goodbye for you.” Aisha kisses her camera.

A smile appears on Gloria’s face at seeing Aisha’s kissing her camera.

Greyhound Bus Terminal:
Jenny watches as the landscape goes by as the Greyhound she was taking travels down the highway. She didn’t mind paying for the bus ticket to the town Camelot was located in. Tinker told her they would reimburse her for the cost. All she had to do was bring the receipt with her.

It's been years since she has seen Tinker. She wonders if she still looked the same as she did when Tinker and her uncle saved her life.
She opens a bag of gummy bears and pops a few in her mouth. The business suit she had on, was the best one she could find that fit her body. She hopes that if Tinker hires her, she could make some decent money and start seeing Doctor Luce again. The person she was seeing right now was okay, but she couldn’t write a letter for her.

The bus ride to where Camelot was located didn’t take long. She caught the earliest bus she could. She closes her bag of gummies and puts it into the purse she brought. Normally, she carried a backpack, but today she brought one of her nice purses. She heads out of the terminal and spots a man holding a sign that said Camelot on it.

She walks over to him “do you work for Tinker?”

“Are you Jenny Suco?”

“Yes, but you didn’t answer my question.”

“I’m sorry Mrs. Suco, I’m Sergeant Torsney with Camelot Security. Mrs. Tinker sent me to pick you up and bring you to the Castle.” Torsney didn’t mind picking Mrs. Suco up.

“I didn’t know Camelot had a security force.” She follows Sergeant Torsney to a black Jeep Rubicon.

“They didn’t until a few months ago. They use to outsource their security to a company. However, the owners have decided it's more effective to have their own security company.” Sergeant Torsney agreed with the owners on that matter.

Camelot had a lot of expensive equipment and dealt invaluable information. Having a private security company guarding their equipment and making sure their place was secured was a bad decision in his opinion. Now that Camelot had their security force, they could hire the best people and knew that everyone and their equipment would be safe.

As they get closer and closer to Camelot, Jenny was getting more nervous. She never thought she would ever get a meeting with Tinker or see her again. They stop at the guard gate which had two towers on either side and a gate in the middle. It looked more like what they would use at a penitentiary. It had a more modern look that fit with the exterior of the castle itself.

“Wow! I bet you can see a long distance from the top of those towers.” Jenny wonders how far they could see from those towers.

“It allows us to most of Camelot’s property. There are two more towers in the back perimeter.” Sergeant Torsney liked how the castle was set up.

He drives up to the front entrance of the castle and stops. He turns and looks at Jenny “Mrs. Tinker’s assistant will meet you inside. She would have met you, but an emergency came up and she had to take care of it.”

“Thank you, Sergeant.” Jenny smiles at him.

“Any time. I hope things work out for you. I think you’ll make a good addition to the company.”

“Thanks, Sergeant.” Jenny heads towards the entrance of the castle.

As she walks into the castle, she is asked to put her purse into an opening by a young lady. She puts her purse into the opening. She stands there in the small foyer for a few seconds and the glass door in front of her opens up.

When she walks through, she spots the woman she saw on the screen in the foyer standing there with her purse.

“Sorry for all the security measures, Mrs. Suco” Security Officer Colons looks at Jenny.

“It’s alright, I can understand the reason for all the security. So, who am I suppose to meet to take me to Mrs. Tinker?”

“That would be me. Hi! I’m, Amanda Joyce. I was sent to escort you to Tinker’s office.” Amanda holds her hand out to Jenny.

Jenny was surprised by a woman that was just a little taller than her. She had cotton candy pink short hair and a bubbly expression on her youthful-looking face. Jenny shakes Amanda’s hand “it’s nice to meet you, Amanda.”

“And you as well.” Amanda shakes Jenny’s hand.

Afterward, Amanda releases Jenny’s hand. A smile was on her face “well, if you’ll follow me. I’ll take you to Tinker’s office.”

“Lead the way.” Jenny liked Amanda.

Jenny follows Amanda as she escorted her to an elevator. She watched how she walked, to see if she could improve how she walked as well.

“Amanda, does Camelot have a dress code here?” Jenny was kind of curious because of what color Amanda’s hair was.

“Yes and no, it's casual dress around here, unless you’re the bosses. As for the hairstyle, everything is okay. You can’t have any profanity styled in your hair or inked on your body. Pass that, you can have any hairstyle you want. Now, I wouldn’t come to work in pj’s or sweatpants.” Amanda enters her security card into the slot.

The elevator starts moving downwards towards the basement. Jenny was surprised that the elevator was moving downwards. She wonders why they were heading downwards.

Amanda noticed the expression on Jenny’s face. A smile appears on Amanda’s face “wondering why we’re heading downwards?”

“Yeah.” Jenny hadn’t realized her expression was that obvious.

“Tinker tends to all the computer systems and such. Plus, she has one of the biggest offices in the Castle.”

The elevator stops at sublevel three. The door opens and Jenny couldn’t believe how big Tinker’s work area was. It was as big as some of the warehouses she had worked in.

“I told you it was big.” There was a huge cheshire smile on Amanda’s face.

“How does she get anything done in a place like this?” Jenny follows behind Amanda as they exit the elevator.

“Oh, she gets a lot done. It’s finding her when you need her that is the problem.” Amanda walks towards an area that had been set up as an office.

Jenny spots a woman wearing a pair of light color coveralls sitting at a desk that had over fifteen monitors in front of her. She couldn’t see the face, but she was sure that the person was Tinker.

“Hey boss, I brought your guest down to you. Now, can I get back to tormenting Reese?” Amanda looks at Tinker.

Tinker looks up and notices Amanda escorting a dark hair girl. The girl herself matched the background picture she had of her. Well, according to the background check she did, the person was born male. But identify as female and had been seeing a counselor at a free clinic about her gender dysphoria.

“Yes, you can go back and torment Reese some more. Thank you.”

“Oh, Goodie! I get to torment Reese some more.” Amanda was happy as she skips off.

Jenny looks at Amanda as she skips off and wonders who Reese was and why Amanda likes to torment them. She turns back around and look at Tinker and couldn’t believe how much she had changed. She still looked like she did that day the bomb went off in school.

Tinker looks at Jenny “sorry about that. Amanda is a little strange, but a good worker.”

“So, where have me and you met before?” Tinker was curious.

“Jefferson High School. September 15. You and your father were working on the electrical lines when a bomb went off in school. I got hit by some shrapnel and you performed first aid on me. You had been injured yourself, but you still helped me.”

“I remember. You had a lot of pieces sticking out of you and your arm looked like a hamburger.” Tinker remembered that day.

“Yes, and I wanted to thank you for what you did. Also, I’m hoping you might have an opening for me as well. A lot of the jobs I have had weren’t that good.”

“Well, I’m glad you recovered from the wounds you received that day. I know a lot of your classmates didn’t as for a job opening, I’ve looked over what skills and previous jobs you have done as a temp worker. Most of your skills are basic, but I think I might have an opening in my department as an assistant to one of my people. I will tell you now, she is a taskmaster, but she’ll never ask you to do something she isn’t willing to do herself.”

“What type of work is it? Because I’m willing to do anything.” Jenny hopes it was something she could do.

“It’s supplies and I don’t mean just pencils and papers either. I mean everything that is required to keep the Castle up and operational. Katelyn has been bugging me for the past month to hire more people and that she needs an assistant that can keep up with her. The one she currently has isn’t able to work the hours she needs her for. So, you’ll be splitting the position with George. Do you think you can do this?” Tinker looks at Jenny to see if she is willing to try.

“If you think I have the skills to help her, sure. I’m willing to do whatever needs to be done. God knows I’ve done some shitty jobs as a temp.” Jenny hopes she can get days she needs to see a doctor about her transitioning.

Tinker just looks at her and wonders if she has what it takes. She knows Maria can train Jenny to her standards.

“Alright, I’ll put you on a ninety-day trial period and see how you do. Since you’re going to be on call with Maria, you’ll be staying with her at the Castle. How long do you think you’ll need to move your stuff?”

“About a week to completely move everything. What happens if I don’t work out?”

“Well, if we find that you’re not a good fit in the department you’re in, we’ll help you. We’ll see what your problem is and work on it. If you still don’t work out, we’ll pay for you to go back where you came from, or you can live in town. Since you’ll be staying here in the castle, we’ll keep a little bit of money in reserve for you to move. If you do work out, you’ll get a boost in pay and all the benefits the company has to offer.”

“Does that include training for something else that I might enjoy?” Jenny was thinking she would like to get professional training in computers.

“We’ll pay for you to be trained. The bosses always like when us pinions want more skills.” Tinker knew Morgana and Arthur would pay for any of their employees to increase their knowledge or skills.

Jenny stands and looks at Tinker. She weighs the options she has, which isn’t much of what Camelot is willing to do for her.

“What type of health packages does the company has?”

“Camelot has some of the best health options available. We have an onsite counselor and a Doctor. If you need more, like in your case.
Camelot will pay for the counseling and after a year of working for them. They will pay for the operation as well.”

Jenny was shocked when Tinker mentioned her case. She looks at Tinker “how did you know?”

A smirk appears on Tinker’s face “Camelot has connections with some of the best intelligence people around. We do a complete background on you, even before you show up here for an interview.”

“I didn’t know that.”

“Trust me, with the type of work we do. Everyone who works here has a ten-year background check done on them. If something triggers an alert, we do a deeper search on you. So, do you still want to work for us, or should I interview the next person?”

“You mean there’s another person for the job?” Jenny was curious.

“What do you think?” Tinker didn’t have another person line up to be an assistant to Maria yet.

Jenny looks at Tinker but couldn’t read her. It was like she wasn’t going to show any emotions.

“I’m going to guess, that you have others applying for the position.” Jenny wasn’t sure.

“And you’ll be wrong. We don’t advertise for positions here. We search resumes people submit online and resumes for other companies. We’re very picky on who we hire.”

“So, it was a trick question?” Jenny felt embarrassed she failed such a simple question.

“Yes and no. I wanted to see how you analyze a question. You took time to think about the question, before saying something. That tells me a lot about you. Now, I’m going to take you back upstairs and over to security to get you a more permanent badge. Our head of recruitment will meet you over there to have you fill out some forms. Do me a favor and read everything she gives you. Don’t just sign them. Because some of them is a test.” A smile appears on Tinker's face.

“Let me guess, they got you?” Jenny figures there was a reason Tinker was warning her.

“Yes, they got me big time.” Tinker couldn’t believe she fell for the trick either.

Tinker escorts Jenny back over to the elevator and inserts her card in the slot. Once a car arrives, the door opens and the two of them enter.

Blake Medical Research, Shawnee, Kansas:
“Well, Mr. Stolly you qualify for our experimental medical research program.” Dr. Chenoa looks at Thomas Stolly as he sat on the examination table.

“Does that mean, you will be able to produce a penis that is compatible with his body?” Morgana looks at Doctor Chenoa.

“Yes, we will be able to make a penis completely compatible with Mr. Stolly’s body. He’ll also be able to produce his own sperm with his DNA.” Dr. Chenoa looks at Mr. Stolly and his girlfriend Morgana.

The medical information she had on the two of them showed that if they wanted children. Morgana could carry them. She was amazed at the nanite technology that Morgana had shared with Blake Medical. Sure, they were working on their own version of nanites. But the technology Morgana shared with them will advance that technology.

“Is it possible to custom make his penis to be a certain size and such?” Morgana was curious if it was possible.

Dr. Chenoa looks at Mr. Stolly and Morgana “yes, we can clone Mr. Stolly’s new penis to however he wants it.”

Thomas looks at Morgana “you just had to ask that question, didn’t you?”

“Well, a girl has to know these things.” A grin appears on Morgana’s face.

Thomas just shakes his head. He was feeling a little embarrassed that Morgana asked that question. He had been thinking about the question but didn’t know how to ask it.

“How long is the recovery time, doctor?” Thomas was curious about that.

“Well, since we're going to be using the nanite technology that Mrs. Morgana has provided to us. We’re looking at a couple of weeks of recovery time. However, I would like to monitor you for the next few years. This will be the first time a female to male transman has had this procedure done. Normally, we use a donor penis to replace the one a genetic man has lost due to injury and such. Also, there have only been three successful operations or acceptance of the donor organ.”

“So, if this operation is successful, you’ll be able to offer it to the transgender community and injured people as well.” Morgana now understood why the doctor wanted to monitor Thomas for two years or more.

“Exactly, but also we could clone a full female reproductive system for Male to Female transgender patients. Also, for women who have lost their reproductive organs due to cancer and such.” Dr. Chenoa is hoping that everything works out with the operation.

“So, now we need to schedule when to do the operation.”

“Well, first Mrs. Morgana. We need to clone the organ first. Secondly, you said it would take time to build the nanites and program them.” Dr. Chenoa figures she’ll have to get with Doctor Blake at the mountain complex to get the ball rolling.

“How long do you think it will take Dr. Chenoa before we can do the operation itself?” Thomas wanted to know how much time he’ll need to build up his funds.

“Well, if the head research doctor at our main facilities approves the request. We could do the operation within the month. However, this whole process is unique and has a lot of parts to it. I’m going to say between three to six months.” Dr. Chenoa hopes Doctor Blake approves the process.

“How much are we looking at for the operation and such?” Thomas wanted to know how much money he needed to save.

“Well, considering all of this is experimental and Mrs. Morgana is sharing nanite technology with us. I would say, very minimal. If nothing else, it may not cost you anything at all.”

“I like the nothing at all.” Thomas didn’t mind being the test subject in this matter.

“I think we all do. I do know we will have to monitor you if everything goes as we hope. If you and Mrs. Morgana ever have children, I know Mrs. Blake would like to analyze the genetic structure of your children to see how the cloned DNA helped form your children.”

“I think we’ll cross that bridge when and if we have children.” Morgana didn’t want children right now. There was too much going on at Camelot currently.

Courtyard by Marriott, Room 215, Shawnee, Kansas:
“So, what do you think sweetie?” Thomas looks at Morgana as he sat on their hotel bed.

“I think it’s a complex process and that there is a lot that can go wrong. However, I think if it's something you want, it's worth it.” Morgana walks over and sits down on Thomas’s lap.

“It is what I want. I don’t feel like a real man, without my own penis.” Thomas kisses Morgana.

Morgana responds to the kiss as Thomas held her in his arms. She never felt this way about anyone. She was happy she found someone that loved her for her. After a few minutes of kissing, she stops and looks into Thomas’s eyes “I hope everything works right. I wouldn’t mind having a baby from you. I just don’t want one right now.”

“I can understand that sweetie.” Thomas just held Morgana in his arms.

Morgana rests her head on Thomas’s shoulder and enjoys having his arms around her body. She didn’t care Thomas was a female to a male transman. She loved him, for him. She starts kissing Thomas again, as the two of them start undressing each other and exploring each other’s bodies.

Aisha’s Apartment, Cambridge, Massachusetts:
Gloria looks down into Aisha’s eyes as she laid naked on top of her. She had put in a two-week request to visit Aisha in Massachusetts. Since her arrival yesterday, the two of them have spent it in Aisha’s bed enjoying each other’s bodies.

She could feel her breasts pressing against Aisha’s breasts as she laid on top of Aisha’s body. Both were transgender and have had the surgery to become women. She starts kissing Aisha again and while fingering her.

Aisha wraps her arms around Gloria and holds her tight against her body. While kissing Gloria, she tries to capture her tongue. She could feel Gloria’s hand between her legs as her fingers enter her.

For the next two hours or so Gloria and Aisha play and enjoy each other’s bodies. Aisha looks at Gloria as they snuggled against each other. She was so happy that Gloria was going to be spending the next two weeks with her.

Aisha places a kiss on Gloria’s shoulder as she falls asleep against her. She loved how Gloria smelled after their lovemaking. She enjoys being snuggled next to Gloria as she sleeps.

Gloria had felt the kiss from Aisha on her shoulder. She so enjoyed making love to her and having Aisha snuggled against her. She wants Aisha to come back with her to Camelot and work there with her.

“Welcome to Camelot Network Solutions, ladies and gentlemen. I hope your employment here is enjoyable and that you make a lot of new friends while you are here.” Kay looks at all the new recruits that have recently been hired.

She knew they vary in age and experience. Some were going to be working on the computer floor and others were hired for different jobs around the castle.

“Now if you could open the laptops in front of you. I’ll walk you through what you need to do on each screen.” Kay brings up the first page everyone should be seeing on the overhead projector.

Jenny looks at the first page and notices everything had already been filled out for her. It had her name, current address, and other information she submitted. She looks up at the person conducting the orientation of new hires.

For the next three hours, Jenny and all the others in the room with her go through each page that Kay has them go to. Most of the stuff she wanted everyone to fill out has already been done but wants everyone to double-check and if necessary, make any corrections to it.

Around noontime, Kay gives everyone an hour lunch break. Most of the new employees head down to the cafeteria. Jenny and a new guy by the name of Jarvis couldn’t believe how nice and clean the place was. Also, they couldn’t believe the variety of food the cafeteria was serving.

Jarvis looks at Jenny as they stood in line “can you believe the food they are serving?”

“No. I’ve never worked anywhere that serves food and gives their employees so many different choices.” Jenny couldn’t believe the selection on display. There were different selections for whatever you wanted.

“You should see what they put out for the holidays.” Terry just happened to be standing behind Jarvis and Jenny.

He decided to go ahead and take his lunch break. He normally liked taking it with Morgana, but she was in a meeting with Arthur, Gloria, and Lancelot. The other higher-ups were busy maintaining things for them.

Jenny turns around and to see who spoke to her and Jarvis and notices a black hair gentleman wearing a custodian uniform. He looked rather handsome “are you one of the custodians around here?”

A smile appears on Terry’s face “yes. The job isn’t as bad as most people think it is.”

Terry enjoyed his job and didn’t mind cleaning up after people. Sure, he could be doing other things, but the money he was making doing maintenance around the castle was nice. His boss was giving him a lot of mess for kissing up to Morgana.

“Still, doesn’t it get frustrating cleaning up after everyone?” Jenny hated doing that type of work.

“Well, I do more than just clean up after people. I also help the maintenance crew and the cafeteria personnel as well.” Terry liked helping the kitchen crew with the meals.

“But you’re a custodian.” Jenny looks confused.

“So, I go where I am needed, and right now that pot-roast needs my attention.” Terry spotted the pot-roast that chef Damaris Greenspan made.

When they go to check out. Terry looks at Jenny and Jarvis “your meals are covered during orientation and your shift.”

“That’s nice of the owners.” Jenny thought that was nice of them.

“They figure you work hard enough that you should be rewarded.” Terry knew why everyone got feels meals with their employment.

Jenny, Jarvis, and Terry sit down at a table and start eating. Jarvis spotted security cameras around the place, but no guards. He was taking inventory of the security precautions the castle had in place.

Jenny was enjoying the stir fry chicken she got for lunch. It was served on top of a bed of vegetable fried rice. They also had hand-made spring rolls to go with it.

While they were eating, Jarvis figures his job here was going to be easy. He’ll need to see what security measures they have in place to prevent people from accessing the servers and mainframe here.

After lunch, Jenny and Jarvis head back to the conference room they were in for orientation. Terry heads back to check in with his boss. He wonders how everything was going at the meeting.
