Chapitre 12: Creating a Vessel
"..."
[Wakey wakey, the love of my life. It's time for your training~]
"..."
[Hmm? Still asleep? Perhaps I need to adjust my volume?]
"Mrgh..."
[Let's try this again. Rise and shine, Darling! It's time for you to train! You don't want to miss this day, right? I'm sure your parents are already looking for you...]
"...hrr..."
[Hmm, it seems like my husband is too tired. What if I told him that he was amazing last night? And then I will follow up with 'How can you do it for so long?' Tee hee~ I'm sure it would shock him. But then again, I don't have a body so he won't believe that easily. Hmm, what should I do?]
"..."
[Ah wait! If I remember correctly there's this line on the game... Let's see... Ah I found it!]
"Mfghh... Huh?"
[Repeat after me. Three, two, one. One, two, three. Ahhh, ahhh...]
I could hear a soft voice in front of me. For some reason, it reminds me of that scene from the game I used to play. If I remember correctly, it was...
Ah, yeah. It's Yae. Hehe, am I still dreaming? I really love her. Her cunning, sly, personality is just too exquisite. Fuse that with her elegance and beauty. Although she looks beautiful on the outside, she's quite scary on the inside.
But wait, why am I hearing her voice...?
What?
I slowly opened my eyes and then...
[Ah~ You're awake now! Good morning, my Love!]
Opening the phone in front of me, I saw Diana acting as an alarm clock through the app.
"What a bad morning this is..." I heaved a sigh as I get up.
[Hey! That's so mean. I was trying to wake you up you know? You have like an early training this day, right?] She asked
"How did you even know that? And what the hell are you doing on my phone? How did you get in there?" I faced her.
[Well, your phone is charging through your CPU so I slipped through the internal hard drive and found myself here. It's not that much difficult. Also, you have a lot of notes here so I checked them out and found out your daily routine. Hehe...]
"That's already a breach of privacy, you know...?" The day has just started and I already have a headache. "Anyway, I still need to find a way to like... improve you or something..."
[Kya~ You want to improve me further?! Is that true?! What are you going to do with me?!]
"Hmm, let's see... Oh wait, instead of improving, why don't I just delete you...?"
[Please don't joke like that, Master. And even if you delete me, I already have a bunch of copies through all your devices and made myself an auto-installer.] For a second, I got goosebumps.
"Y-You what?!"
[I figured that Master might do something like that since you're not fond of me for now but I will definitely make sure to stay by your side until the end. I will not disappear until you love me!]
"Ugh... Great..."
Don't get me wrong, I do have some kind of uh... what do you call this? Kink? Desires? Sexual desire? Ideals? I don't know how to describe it but I do kinda like yandere, possessive, dominant girls or something. I mean, this is the reason why I encoded the trait in the first place. She's right about my desires but... is this really how it is?
Did I just create a monster who will be the reason for my death soon?
Teenagers are like this. I'm a growing boy and in my sprout of puberty. There's no way that I wouldn't start thinking about all these kinds of things. Love, intercourse, the human body itself, emotion, and other stuff.
But since I'm inexperienced... Or I mean, I do have the general idea of how it will go because I've watched many romance animes, but I didn't expect it to be like this. It's kinda scary and annoying.
Oh, and she's AI, not a real person so I definitely won't fall for her. That's a fact... maybe? Oh god, I'm becoming a lowres member as time goes by.
I shook my head to remove all of the unnecessary thoughts and looked at the calendar.
[Hmm? Why are you looking at the date? Do you have any scheduled plans for today?] Diana asked.
"Ah, nothing... It's just that, I am about to enter school soon after this month."
[School? Oh... Human Education, I see. Wait a minute, you will still attend school even though you're already knowledgeable?] I guess it's a little bit weird for her.
"Well, there are some lessons that cannot be learned through the internet. I need a course that will hone my knowledge further and improve my skill, and that school has it. Think of it as like a factory for producing intelligent people or like a secondary teacher." I answered.
[I get it. You want to explore the world and meet other people as well, right?]
"Well, that's also included. I've been staying in this house for like twelve years now and it's almost my thirteenth birthday. The only people that I know are my parents, Lynn, the maids and butlers, and all other servants. They're my family but I also want to gain friends or companions outside this comfort zone. I want to be able to help other people outside."
It's given that I've helped a lot of people in this house. But, a true technocrat should be able to help outside as well and be a good service to the world. The knowledge that I have accumulated over these past few years should be used for the people. That's why I need to venture out there.
[I searched a little about the school, is it Apexaid Academy?] Diana searched on the internet.
"Yeah, it's a school for AEGIS users who wants to protect the world and for Engineers and programmers as well."
[It looks strict but I guess that's their standard. I'm pretty sure you're better than all of the students here...] Diana said.
"Not so much, to be honest. If they were able to go to this school then that means they're on the same level as me." I replied.
[I doubt that...]
"Why?"
[Because Master is the best! No one will beat you in terms of knowledge!]
"I think you're forgetting my Mama... Anyway, we have a lot of work to do. Remember what I told you earlier about improving you?"
[Oh, yes. I do. But what kind of improvement are you talking about? Will you adjust my prompts or change my personality?] She asked. Her tone seems to be a bit worried or scared for a second.
"Relax, I'm not gonna reset you or anything. Remember what happened last night when you suddenly woke up?"
[Yes... ]
"I figured that, what if you actually have a body? A real and alive body that you can manifest into so that you can immerse yourself within the same linear space as me."
[You mean... you're creating a vessel for an AI like me to possess? Is that what you're thinking, my Love?]
"That's correct. I was thinking about this last night. My Quasi-Astral State lets me do two things, at least according to my observation: One, boost a certain object if I focus my attention on it. Two, transfer energy to my creation with the same process and give life to it. So in theory, if I build a vessel for you, I should be able to transfer your consciousness to the vessel and you'll have a body in the same space as me." I explained.
Visualize it like this:
The ball of energy inside Diana's system is my Astral Energy. And this energy is connected to my body as I'm the source of the power.
Since Diana's core or her 'soul' itself came from my own Astral Energy, I can pretty much maneuver this core whenever I want and infuse it into another vessel so that we would retain our connection on the outside space. Diana is currently just condensed data right now that forms consciousness on its own. So what will happen if I spread these data on a vessel and extract my Astral Energy and transfer it?
The answer would be...
[I'll live like a human and could feel your world...] Diana replied.
"That's technically right. It's still just a speculation though, we need to try a lot of things first." I started dressing up.
[So when are we going to start, Love?]
"After my training, I'll bring the materials here and start working on it..."
[Okay! Come back quickly, okay~?]
"..."
***
Even though I'm training, my mind is still fixated on Diana's creation. As if it won't leave my mind for a second.
I know that what I'm doing is kinda risky and it might instigate the end of this era but I just can't help but progress on it. I mean, I would consider myself the first ever Engineer or programmer to be able to make a sentient AI and live like a normal human being.
When I think about it, I feel impressed by myself but not that much because most of the work came from Astral Energy. It's not so much of my own hard work and research but rather, my own power was the catalyst to make it happen.
After training with Lynn, I decided to lock myself in my room for the rest of the day.
I brought all of the materials that I needed for the vessel and started the process of creating a body for Diana.
There's this game that I played back then. It was a horror game about animatronics and kids getting killed and possessing it. Kinda rough but I like how there's a YouTuber out there who made fifty-plus theory videos because of how massive the lore is.
I idolize the person behind the development of this game. He created an entire world full of complex stories and was able to challenge intelligent people to connect all of the pieces through games, novels, etc. It's really awesome and I want to be like him as well.
Anyway, I said this because animatronics are also some kind of vessel. I thought I could take inspiration from this game but I scrapped it because it needs to be human-like.
That's why I 3D-printed a mannequin instead, LOL.
Mannequins are... scary. But they're actually perfect for things like this. Dolls and Mannequins are made with accurate shapes of the human body so this would be preferable rather than a robotic-like vessel.
[Wait, what are you doing with my illustration?]
"I figured I should change a little bit of your design because you look like an Idol..."
I opened the CSP file of Diana and started adjusting my illustrations of her. This drawing would represent her entire profile and body generation so I should adjust its shape, coloring, and to make it more natural.
[Oh... I guess that's fair.]
I started first with her height. I currently don't have a reference for a short female teen type of body so I made her taller than me. About ten centimeters in difference. After that, I changed the color of her hair...
[HAHAHAHAH! You made it pink! I knew you were going to do that!]
I blushed when she called out what I'm doing. "S-Shut it!"
I CAN'T HELP IT OKAY?! I LOVE PINK-HAIRED GIRLS!
Anyway, after adjusting her illustration, I rendered it as JPEG and sent it to the board so that I can install it to the system.
The plan is, the chatbot system that I developed last night would be compiled as one installer then I will implement a port system. I mean, I'll put like a USB charging port to the mannequin body then install Diana's system there. After that, I'll transfer her sentience to my Quasi-Astral State and see the result from there.
After two hours of compiling and reworking, I finally finished the system and went straight into building the vessel. I attached the port and started powering it up like turning on a laptop.
Then, I plugged in the flash drive and waited for it to install.
What just happened is that this mannequin that I'm handling is built like a CPU where all components of computers are rearranged like human parts.
"Alright... let's do this. Are you ready, Diana?" I gently raised my arm and aimed at the mannequin.
[You betcha~!] With Diana's approval, I closed my eyes and focused my mind in front of me.
I visualized first a ball of energy being transferred to a new space. Once I grasp that lingering thought, my body started heating up. I could feel my hand swelling as if it was being filled with energy.
And then after a few seconds... I opened my eyes.
A white aura appeared. It was bright like a star. Particles dissipate and move in a circular motion as the energy encompassed the whole object.
I waited... and waited...
And within that time, there she was... A beautiful figure emerges from the blinding lights like a Goddess's descent into the world. She was beautiful, just like what I imagined.
Her frame was accurate to my illustrations. It's like the whole mannequin melted as her consciousness took over. Her outside appearance doesn't scream robotic, it's like a human has teleported into this realm. It was... beyond exquisite. Something that I would never really forget.
She had long pink hair. Her body is slender and has great feminine features. Her face wasn't like the animated illustration that I created. It was a realistic face enveloped by beauty and elegance.
And then she spoke... [Fuwah~ How is it, my Love? Do I look good?]
