Everything was settled now the shops were open and running , her employees could handle matters regarding shipments and distribution .

There were guidelines what to do when shops were sold out and if there were more serious issues Sam and Helena were to step in .

They asked to come over at the evening after the news was broadcast so that their mother could watch the news before her treatment .

He arrived at 21.10 hrs that evening and Helena let him in the house , her mother was clothed in a bathrobe sitting in the living room .

“Hi Alex , someday has indeed come soon” she said .

I never could have imagined the story that my children told me .

They even told me about the genetic disease , you have my thanks once again .

Aliens , the Nexus , the use of credits , clearance levels , business opportunities , the list goes on and on mister immortal .

I don’t think there is anything else that could make me more on edge than I am now .

“Well , if my plan works out we all will be immortal” said Alex .

“I stand corrected it was possible” said Sarah .

“You never told us about this Alex” said Helena.

I mentioned that there were technologies that piqued my interest , one of those is a bracelet with an ai that can maintain your body’s nanites once Da’grass worked his magic .

The bracelet hasn’t got the capabilities to do what Da’grass does but they should keep you at peak performance , he described it as the next generation phone which manages your Nexus account and serves as a link with it to the real world .

I bought the technology thanks to my clearance level together with the colony builder .

“You keep amazing me Alex , your like an whole other person that I used to know” said Sarah .

Trust me , I’m not .

It’s just that my purchasing power has greatly increased compared to before and the things that I can buy now exceed what we’re used to .

Did you prepare yourself with the food and water ?

Yeah , I wasn’t keen on drinking that water though …

You should drink some more water , I expect that it will take a bit longer than with us because you’re going to do both procedures at once .

Da’grass can somewhat regulate the water consumption of our body but we want to make sure that everything goes as it should .

“This is it than” said Sarah .

I’m nervous Alex , should anything go wrong take care of each other will you ?

Nothing will go wrong Sarah , Da’grass and I wouldn’t let it come that far.

Let’s go to the bathroom …

Are you comfortable Sarah ?

As well as can be I guess , it’s a bathtub.

“See you in a few days mom” said Helena .

“We’ll be here when you wake , after you cleaned yourself I mean” said Sam .

This is going to sting a bit , see you in a few days .

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

Holy cra.. , this .. dizzyyy…..

She’s out , Da’grass you know what to do ?

Yes Alex , I’ll give her the business management education course and work on her body and mind .

There is still something you need to clarify though …

Should I proceed as I should due to my programming or do you want me to change something because you don’t want to attract any attention ?

What do you mean Da’grass ?

Well , unless they are younger than their prime , I should restore them to their prime , which in this case , would be around 25 years old .

“Our mom is 43 years old Alex , people will notice for sure if she looks like a college student if you should have any doubts about that” said Sam .

“Can’t you restore her to her prime and make her look older ?

You could take a few years off , like she had some treatment or so” said Helena .

Da’grass can you restore her to her prime and make her look like a woman in her early thirties ?

Yes I can Alex , I’ll proceed with these new parameters .

Let’s not go in the Nexus these few days , I want to keep an eye on our mother.

If you wish so Helena.

Thanks , now both of you out of the bathroom !

By the way we think we figured out why they are not following normal marketing procedures , it was even on the news which we watched because our mother wanted to .

Apparently , when you attempt to log in , the initial screen presents you with various options .

One of these options is the Nexus , but it’s greyed out with a message that it’s not available due to a lack of users .

Currently , only the games are accessible .

So it’s pure curiosity and anticipation for more , well what are we going to do for the next few days ?

“We’ve got a tv , board games and you can use my laptop if you want” said Helena .

“And if you want to sleep , you can share Helena’s bedroom , but no sexual activities” said Sam .

“Sam!!” Helena cried out loud .

So for the next few days they watched tv and played board games and checked the internet’s community reactions of the games.

People were ecstatic about the full immersion vr and time dilation , and despite the shop’s sale rule of 1 vr set per customer , the black market thrived with exorbitant prizes .

By the time that the third day neared its conclusion Helena started to worry about her mother but Da’grass assured her that besides being dehydrated she was doing fine and would wake up before it became dangerous.

First she argued with him telling that a normal human only could go 2-3 days without water before dying but Da’grass told her he made sure to retain as much water as possible.

He also told her that the nanites could repair any damage and that she was in fact an optimized human by now.

Feeling reassured , Helena asked Da’grass how much longer it would take , and he told her it wouldn’t be much longer , just a few more hours .

She started to clean the house a bit , but frankly , there wasn’t much to clean ; she was just nervous .

A few hours later Da’grass finally told them that she was going to wake up and they started to make a late night dinner.

What followed next was a colourful display of curse words about the stench emanating from the bathroom .

20 minutes later Sarah entered the kitchen , happy that she looked 10 years younger and no longer suffering from lower back pains .

They explained to her she had the body of a 25 year old but that they made her look older as not to raise too much suspicion .

At which she made a conflicted expression but said that she understood the reason.

During dinner Alex suggested to take Sarah to the Nexus so that she could see with her own eyes what they were talking about.

Sam and Helena thought it was a great idea , the influx of credits should have reached his highest a while ago and if she had enough credits she could also buy a few properties.

So after dinner they made themselves comfortable and logged in.

They appeared at the world Capitol building and Sarah was awestruck by the appearance of the buildings , her eyes glazed over for a few moments and she said that she was upgraded to a level 2 clearance .

They explained to her how to buy the bracelet option , and after she bought it from a government core , they showed her how to use it .

After the story’s you guy’s told and the education Da’grass implanted I’ve decided to buy an office building , a house and a research and development building if I have enough credits .

“Woah , you don’t have to rush mom , why don’t we just show you around for the moment” said Sam

Da’grass complemented it with saying “you have enough for an medium office building and a villa but not for an R&D building , Sarah”.

“Besides why would you buy such a building , we can buy all the technologies from the mall” said Helena .

“Well not all technologies” said Da’grass.

And it’s encouraged to do R&D , these technologies are a lot cheaper when researched yourself and if it’s different and efficient enough you can earn credits from other species.

“Can we give her the credits for it ?” asked Sam .

“You can , but why won’t you make it a joint enterprise” said Da’grass .

You mentioned before that you wanted to cooperate with each other to bring certain technologies to earth .

Why not expand this thought to the Nexus ?

“That’s a great idea Da’grass , thank you !” said Alex.

“We’ll do as Da’grass suggested” said Sarah .

But like Sam said after you guy’s showed me around !

They showed her the city , the farms , restaurant , brewery , bar and made sure to sample a lot of products .

Like the rest of them she had a soft spot for the elven wine like Sam liked to call it and was delighted that she could eat what she wanted without repercussions.

When she met Cathy at the game development building she was fascinated by her ears and murmured fluffy .
