Hope there will be updates soon! This was a good story and looking forward to reading more. Thank you!

Suuuuuuuuper hot!! I can't wait to see Eli's punishment. It could be an interesting chance to see more of his dynamic with Mac... After all, doctors are rather infamous for their disdain for nurses, so I wonder what the uncle could really think of his haughty, prick nephew? I also assume Vince is somehow going to work his way around to controlling Sam, especially now that he knows what's going on under the Kingstons' roof and could cause him some serious trouble? Given that he's such an unrepentant prick for even pettier reasons than the other men in his life, I wonder if he could present the perfect opportunity for Vince to acquire a guinea pig that he doesn't feel too bad about really screwing with and really testing the limits of his program? Ah, the possibilities! I also wanted to say that this story otherwise has been a really pleasant suprise (aside from it being blisteringly hot!). I'm not usually into emotional intimacy where mind control is concerned, but you've really managed to incorporate it into your story in a way that I feel adds to the hotness, and I guess the overall depravity. Really hope you'll be continuing the story, Blackjinx123!

So, Kane is wrong in his assertion that Jamie didn't deny that Midnight was his boyfriend. Jamie did flat out deny that. However, he's correct to suspect that Jamie is protecting Master Myriad, because Jamie actually is protecting Master. We don't know if this is a conscious or unconscious choice on Jamie's part, or some kind of compulsion put in place by Master and enforced by 013, or 013 on its own subtly preventing him from betraying Master. The fact is that at this point, Jamie is protecting Master. Jamie's memories have returned, and he is experiencing Master's and 013's concerted efforts to persuade him to become a loyal DS. He knows more about Master and his operation than anyone in the League. The information he could give them might be the difference between defeat and victory for the League. Yet, it doesn’t seem to have even occured to him to tell them what's happening to him, and what he knows about Master and his Network, at least from what we see of his internal monologue. So what's going on there? There are several possibilities. It could be that he is so off-kilter right now that he hasn't even had a chance to think about it. It could be a conscious or unconscious choice made as a function of his instinct for self-preservation. Let's face it, if he somehow manages to spill all, the League is unlikely to give him the honor he'd deserve for doing it, and quite likely to send him to the Tomb. It could be that Master and/or 013 are exerting a subtle influence that restrains him, and keeps him from even thinking about telling Master's secrets to the League. In any case, given what 013 revealed about its imperatives, and the level of control 013 can exert over Jamie even now, I'd say that 013 would do whatever it takes to stop Jamie from confessing. Allowing it would place both Jamie and Master in severe danger, and violate both of 013's prime directives. So, what do you think about why Jamie is remaining silent?

Fantastic writing, as always! I hope you continue this series. Maybe on your Patreon, if not here?

When will we get to see the “warm kind and welcoming” side of Dusk again Especially I anticipate them making out with latex tongue and latex tight grips

i just remembered one of @copsboy's old theories on what the symbiotes are, and to basically open up an open ended discussion: **What more can we infer from the symbiotes, now that 013 is accessible?** One of my theories that I've been thinking is of their saturation within their hosts. We can see from Chapter 3, 4, 5, and 6 that Jamie's latex symbiote not only wraps around his body; it can also be detected as "particles" embedded within Jamie (see Dr. Ambrosius), as a swirl of latex inside his brain lobes, and has the ability to quickly wrap around and coat its host body. I think that, along with Master's prompt of an activation during the 3rd part of the Interlude, this gives some evidence that the symbiotes have physically fused, in every way shape and form, with its host. From the concept of a "soul", the symbiote now shares with, the consciousness has two perspectives, eventually converging into latex loyalty towards Master Myriad! :thinking: i think we can also see some evidence from how DS-008 acts. sure, "Horizon" acted unruly, but the symbiote somehow didnt chime in and follow Master's orders directly. now, i think this gives some credence to the thought that the dronified host fully combines with the symbiote, or the symbiote merely is too dumb to question its host's orders to be fair. . .the two ideas that were just aforementioned . . .yeah they have problems. for one, we know that scene in Chapter 1 where somehow Ambrosius *was* able to separate a suit (symbiote most likely) from the worker drone, so i'm not sure how the body merging aspect works for different types of drones. second of all, even though Jamie's superdrone symbiote is the smartest, i honestly think that most superdrones are _already pretty sentient/conscious_ in order to execute Master's plans. Overall, there's a lot of ideas, and I'm glad that there's so much lore that's embedded so that the story feels extremely immersive! Kudos to Neon, and thank you for writing this chapter! (P.S. :sob: this hasnt even been touching on the theme/motif?? of "Balance" which i was mentioning about earlier; Dusk and Daybreaker, Light vs Dark, freedom vs dronification, ok this comment is already too long maybe later)

The complexity of the coin/pet relationship is one of my favorite things about this series, aside from the truly exemplary writing and imagination displayed. It's such a caring relationship while also being so deeply strong in power dynamics. And Aristotle's subtle manipulation of Jasper, while problematic in the real world, makes for such good story.

when will dusk come :DDDdDdDdDdDD

More please! Love the growth of submission. Would like to see more public play, Thor going to any lengths to please his master

Yo. OK, so Yeah. Congrats mate that was an extremely fun read (so far; I assume I've just gotten up to date, and there's more to come) **Con #1** There are grammatical errors and tell-tale signs you're new to this and learning quickly. It mightn't be any harm "picking a week" and reading over your older chapters and... licking the dusty bits up to a fresh latex shine. Or, say if you're thinking of making a book out of this, get an editor on board when you do, as a second line of technical expertise. **Con #2** Latex / Droning isn't even my kink (personal con, not *your* problem, obviously I didn't downrate it 'casue of this. in fact, back handed bonus cause it means the rest of it; characters; story; etc, had enough to make me read and rate) **Con#3** Watch out for repetitive language slowing down the reading pace (for no good reason), it feels like some paragraphs are written as they are because you didn't re-read them, or you published "one draft too soon." Maybe when you finish, wait a day, then read the entire thing in one sitting, edit, then go. Or if you already do this, do this process an additional time. (and I would know about this, I am probably the most error-prone writer on this site) **Pro #1** I mean... look at all the shinies badges. this stuff is gold dust. It's like the "perfect" latex/drone-X-Superhero series. you did it; this exists now. All these characters are vivid and alive and doing their thing. **Pro #2** I didn't know it was possible for something to be this fun, but this kinky, but this silly, but this serious. As a lore, it's up there with proper anime. It's a full lil' world with characters of your creation. It achieves the same silly/serious farcical/high-stakes that anime shows do. **Pro #3** I truly do not know how this will end (your storytelling isn't trite or predictable). It's so much nicer to read/watch/listen to stories that don't use narrative idioms and tired setups. I dunno. yeah. It's just a happy series; your joy for it beams through in a way that makes the rough bits irrelevant; It's silly and passionately-conceived and interesting. It's the real deal; It's not just writing for the sake of writing. It's also perfect for the site. Love and Peace. Spiders.
