Senjen became more suspicious with the Utaysi’s answer. Two years ago was recent, and he would have expected a company like Myrmidon to have learned how to prepare a computer core for a Utaysi personality matrix long ago. In his story, the company should have just been able to transfer the personality matrix without needing to retain the original core. Maybe the core was damaged? Or maybe this was not even a Utaysi? Honestly, he was not sure how much that would even matter in the end. He knew what he wanted, roughly speaking. 

“I, well...I mean no offense, but I do hope Myrmidon computer core can be prepped for a normal personality matrix transfer. I would not want to go through that myself, if I can avoid it.” Senjen answered. 

Before they had been interrupted, Senjen had wanted to get Ruknar’s input. “You didn’t get a chance to answer before. What do you think would make for the best version of a new me? I sent you the options I was looking at.” 

Briefly, Senjen glanced back at the salesman. “Do you have any models here I can try out?” He asked. He was not actually expecting, nor wanting, to transfer his personality matrix. Rather, a remote control session was much like test driving a vehicle.

Jess gave a mild sigh and wiped away a bit of gel from her face. She was convinced that he only pretended not to understand Human personal space, by this point. Regardless, she stayed close to him and spoke a bit more softly. “You know how much they know about us? Wouldn’t surprise me if they’re throwing together a little contest just because I’m here. I [i]am[/i] the kind of client they would want to make a sale to. I have money, and a legitimate business reason to buy their products on a potentially recurring basis. So...yeah.”

After a moment, Jess shrugged. “Still, if you’re bored, I could go win a contest that seems made just for me.”
