I don’t like that name much any more.” Shaniqua said " Jenny might have been stupid when she was young. She’s definitely not now.”

“Good point” I agreed. ‘What would you prefer?”

Oh..I dunno..what about ‘augmented sapient systems?” she said..then her eyes grew wide. She covered her mouth with her hand and giggled.

“That works.” Roy said " How long will this take?

Jenny told me the answer and I relayed. "It’ll take years.”

“Why so long?” Shaniqua asked me.

“That’s how long it would have taken for your augmented SAPIENT system to grow and mature in your cybernetic nerve net.” I told her.” We discussed that.”

“So we did.” she agreed. "and you’re different how? "

“He was touched by a goddess.” Kitty said...

And she was gone.

The Browns couldn’t detect Kitty or Jenny yet. Shaniqua could. "The way I hear it she did much more than just touch”

“A gentleman never kisses and tells” I said righteously.

The Browns looked at us, then looked at each other , shook their heads and said no more about it. They thought Shaniqua and I were NUTZ.

There are many kinds of jerks in the world. Some are Bullies who pick on people weaker than they are.

Some of are Don Quixote's ...who charge at windmills and fight ‘The MAN’ , AND the Bullies (but I repeat myself)

and then there are the Sancho's. They’re not a jerks. They’re inherently really nice people.

“I concur” Kitty said.
...and then she was gone.
