I'm a Cyborg's Pet

Chapter 90/Resitance/I like any plan you can write on a t-shirt

"You don't understand Joe she's back on the game. She was working for Rockwood all along. The reason I didn't tell you was because I was brain washed" I said digging up an old past I would rather forget.

"That brings me to urgent part two. You brainwashed Really ? Argoto" said Joe.

"Yes and?" I began.

Joe looked at me confidently "Don't feel like a quick having, what do the the English say? A quick snog?"

"No. Hang on what's happening?" I said ,'Argoto' was the brain washing keyword Zola had used on me.

"Zola said brainwashing but she actually used her acupuncture skills on you." said Joe.

"But I saw the video of Rockwood and Kayla. Kayla could took the collar off" I said.

"Kayla only changed collars minutes before that interview.  She had been upgraded to an iCollar 3.0 like you, but if you notice the collar she was wearing in the meeting was a green and black standard cortona collar. We were all amazed you didn't pick that one up.We hadn't figured on your lack of attention to detail skills, and yes I have changed my hair color thank you for not noticing" said Joe. 

"I was going to mention it but you know zombie horde outside"  I confessed. 

"Forget it If The commission had figured out Kayla was lying they would have killed her. She lied about being a collaborator the second time around. It was the only way Rockwood could make the whole - Jenny was just an experiment, don't take her away - , lie work. Kayla really put her backside on the line for you. She was taking really big risk, but she did it for you."

I sat down on the bed. I didn't know who was more dizzy.

"But he said he didn't love me. I was just an experiment" I said hardly able to say the words.

"That was what we technically call 'a lie' in the trade. If he told them the truth they would have either killed you or sent you to a huge amount of obedience training. Rockwood wouldn't find it easy to be more than a second assistant to a Unicorn in Alaska after that too. Zola thought she had him. He could say yes he loved you and the commission would take you away for upgrading, or he could say no and Zola could use it to create a split between him and you. He thought if he lied blatantly enough you would pick up the errors. She had people looking at your collar cam constantly to make sure he didn't contact you. That's why he sent you on the pod delivery mission."

"How was sending me delivering pods help?" I said.

"Did you look in the pods?" Joe said

"No"

"I know you didn't, you know how I know ? I was sitting next to Master while watching your collar cam stream he's shouting 'LOOK IN THE POD YOU IDIOT'' He was sure your natural curiosity would make you look." Joe continued.

"Look. look at what?" I said. I was feeling something for the first time and I wasn't sure what.

Joe pulled out a small tablet and used his collar to bring up some photos.

"I took these when Kayla and I went to check out the Osprey a couple of months ago" said Joe. I swiped at the photos the first one was of the landed Osprey where Areanna had dragged me out. You could see the solar panels facing the sun. There were a few more it looked like pictures captured from a collar cam. The photos got closer and then into the deck of the Osprey. The next one was of the pod. Then the pod with a hatch marked 'do not move this hatch' lifted up. It covered a small porthole window. The next picture was clearly down the view of the portal. It was on to a face.

"That looks a bit like My half brother Jez" I said.

"It should do, that is your half brother Jez" said Joe.

The next picture looked familiar "That's my cousin Mary" I said.

Then I got to the next photo and my heart jumped out of my chest over a building in single bound. It was a picture of my mum smiling and an arm around a smiling Belinda with the buildings of the Artificial island 7 behind them.

"Mom!" I said.

"And your dad too" said Joe.

"Which one?"

"Number one your bio dad" said Joe.

"I thought they had all been packed" I said.

"Packed into a suspended animation chamber yes." said Joe.

I paused. "So when Villeria said they were being 'put to sleep' she meant it literally"

"Yeah but it's a big secret. Don't tell anyone, the quadratic alliance would hit the roof if they knew" said Joe.

Then a huge harpoon hit my heart. I was starting to realise what happened.

"So Rockwood actually loves me. Really truly." I said to Joe.

"If you had seen him over the last month... months desperate to find you then you wouldn't ask. He wants to tell you him self. I was sent to ask you if you would talk to him again. Him just him. He doesn't know what you have been doing for the last few months. He said what ever you choose he would understand, but if you could bare to talk that would be the only wish he would ever have. He promises not to bring any slave robots with him. So If you want to go afterwards he's good with that. "

"He still loves me?" I said still stunned.

"You don't choose who you love Jenny. Even if your a cyborg" said Joe.

"Hang on what about thingying me. I was told he was using me like a drug" I said.

"Who told you that?" said Joe leaning back confidently.

"ohh I see what you mean - Zola."

"The neutraliser kinds of allows him into your mind,but it means you get into his." Joe started " For a while you form a group consusness. Two minds linked as one forming this single entry which apparently called it's self 'Brokney'. You revel your self completely to each other. "

"A single mind? Called Brokney?"

"It generally doesn't work - the minds must be sympathetic to each other. You too just clicked" said Joe.

"oh so he wasn't sucking the brain blood out of me" I said sitting down.

Joe half smiled "No more than a phone call - you share ideas"

"Really that's it? So why could I never remember" I asked.

"He rohypnoled you or rather you rohypnoled your self. Rockwood generally did that as a precaution, when you were in his mind you would know what he knows and he knew about ... well some pretty important stuff. You would have remembered it while you were awake. Brokney knew that Jenny couldn't be trusted. You would have to be locked in the harem and Rockwood wanted you outside and a live incase he got found out. Well Brokney thought it was for the best."

"So you're saying I hack my own brain" I said.

"No, Brokney nobbled its brain and you were 50% of Brokney"

"Wow I so hate my self when I'm thingyed" I said.

"Well if you don't like that then never get blind drunk" said Joe.

I felt I was out of control over thin ice I didn't know how I felt. I was like I had been through an emotion steam press and my two dimensional self didn't know how to feel any more, but it wouldn't hurt to talk to that cyborg.

"OK send him down" I said.

Joe stood up and pressed a button on his collar.

"Big momma, Big momma It's a go for the other packages" said Joe to his collar leading the way outside again
