I'm a Cyborg's Pet

Chapter 53/Him/And all I got was this lousy singing voice

 Joe turned up.

"All hail our glorious robot overlords," Joe said arriving. He had a man with him.

"Whatsup" we both replied.

"Do you mind if 1945 sits in with us we are on a date," said Joe.

"Sure," we both said. My WTF-ometer was going off the scale. Joe's date did look quite hunky, has life in harem finally 'turned him'? 1945 was quite a nice looking African American. I wonder what polite term we use for African American now we are all slaves, probably fellow slave I'm guessing. African Region 1 didn't sound right.

1945 smiled sitting down he was in a red systems catsuit.

"I'm Jenny," I said offering my hand. He looked at me in surprise.

"What's your real name?" he said.

"#160A" I said "but my friends call me Jenny, you can call me #160A if you're uncomfortable. I don't mind" I said some carrot salad coming out of my mouth.

"Where's your date?" Asked Joe sitting next to Kayla.

Kayla munched on some food "She's busy, said she would be here later." 

"OMG you guys have split up?" I said nearly spitting asparagus risotto out.

Joe smiled.

"No, it's all part of my evil plan. You see using your Soylent green I was able to bribe a guy in one of the server rooms to reboot one of the machines" said Joe.

"Rebooting a master - unless they are crashed that's like a bad offence," said 1945 in shock.

"No, it turns out that the entire Cinder house dating system. Runs on an old Mac mini plugged into the server room. Occasionally the odd drop of leaking blood causes it to be rebooted. That corrupts the database. The database isn't important and it get's fixed by a certain slave. And if you know the right guy then your id can mysteriously appeare on the system even when it's not supposed to. After that I'm just following orders." said Joe.

"What's Cinder?" I asked.

"Slave dating app. If you're single you're forced to go on dates with other single slaves in the hall like him. Kayla and I both signed up both and eventually, we will date each other. Then magic happens" said Joe.

"Genius. sounds like a lot of work" I said.

"I would date 500 girls and I would date 500 boys just to be the man who dated one thousand people to fall down at your door, " said Joe to Kayla. I noticed they didn't kiss but I guess Joe had some feelings for his date.

Kayla looked at Joe and smiled the way only a woman truly in love can smile. I so wanted that smile.

"We need to do something about your Proclaimers collection first," she said.

"That's where you're wrong I was referring to Shriek," said Joe turning to me.

"How did you get your name on the system?" hoping Joe hadn't offered to sleep with the guy.

"Only cost me two packets of top grade soylent green, thank you very much," said Joe.

"You paid two packets of Soylent green for her? " said 1945 pointing at me.

"Not her, her," said Joe pointing at Kayla.

"You paid two packets of soylent green for her," said 1945 pointing at Kayla. 

"Unlike some girls,  I'm worth two packets of soylent green, " said Kayla.

"You should have said, I would have slept with you for two packets of Soylent green." said 1945 to Joe.
