Chapter 15: YES! (2)
"What if, instead of making money using your copy, someone just put your copy in their own personal VR sex dungeon? Or, what if they could alter your copy so that your copy was loyal and or obedient to them?"
She bit her lower lip before looking at him and saying, "I guess it depends on who. If it was the right person, I wouldn't mind at all." She paused a moment, then continued, "Or, wait, I guess I'd mind a little, because if it's the right person, I'd rather be in their personal sex dungeon for real."
Jack swallowed. This was twice in one day that he was seeing a side of Madison he had never seen before. He had, probably because of the way she dressed and her avoidance of any physical contact, just assumed she was asexual, or at the very least, was not interested in him.
Not sure if her answer was to his first question, or both questions, he asked, "What about my second question, about the loyalty and obedience alteration?"
"Hmm, honestly, I don't see a difference. Altered or not, the copy is a copy, and not the original me. So what difference does it make if the copy was altered to be obedient to its owner? As long as I get my slice of the profit pie, I wouldn't care."
"Okay, but if the copy is obedient to...its owner, then your copy would answer any question asked. Any question, no matter how personal. Would you really be ok with that?"
"Oh shit! I hadn't thought about it from that angle. That...changes things. If I had no way to keep my secrets, well, secret, then I would only be okay with it if it was the right person holding my copy. What about you?"
"I don't like the idea of anyone having a copy of me, not for any reason."
"No one?" she asked, then with a strange tone, "Not even me?"
