@[Neon Demon](/user/show/10023852) hey so just a quick question: when dylan says that "this drone would be happy to either delete any remnants of Dylan Renner", thats just hyperbole, right? like deep inside Dylan's memories and consciousness can kinda still be brought back even if he was told to completely delete his identity, like there's a backup of Dylan somewhere i hope???

🔥😏😈

Awesome new edition to your stable of horny boys. I can hardly wait for the next chapter. You had me dripping!

Absolutely loving this series! Found it earlier today and I'm already eager for the next installment! Really enjoying how things have been coming together

I thoroughly enjoyed the story. I am interested to note what I find arounsing and what I don't. The development of a meaningful life pleasing other is fascinating and really sexy. The end doesn't;t quite do it for me, just a little too far. On rereading the story I might find ti more arousing. It felt worthwhile reading it; there was a lot of it and it felt substantial.

🤔 Why does this read like one of my experiments with GPT-3? 🤖

@temporaryhotsaucetofu The evidence on drone intellect is a little mixed, but here are my hypotheses: 1. The symbiotes are simple lifeforms without much native intelligence, although DS-013/Jamie's symbiote is by Master's own boast considerably more complex than the ones that came before. They are primarily animated by their emotional responses to Master - love, adoration, utter obedience and subservience, and fear of disappointing him. 2. The conversion and integration process is highly disorienting, especially for a super, who's likely to have a strong personality and resist the idea of submission. 3. The intellect and personality of the fully converted and integrated drone is largely that of its human host, but only comes to the fore when Master requires it, or when the drone is given free time and Master has no reason to keep them suppressed. And even at these times, the symbiote is in control and keeps the drone's' thoughts and feelings in line. Essentially, the merger of symbiote and host is also a merger of their formerly separate intellects and personalities. Together, they might even be a little more intelligent than the original human host, but the human personality only comes to the fore when Master needs or allows it. Take DS-011/Pet. In the prologue it says that he spends his time with his mind "blank, happy, and horny." But in his appearance in Chapter 4, where Master has set him the task of looking after DS-013 while he undergoes his initial conversion, DS-011/Pet shows a definite personality, even coming close to, but not crossing, the line of insubordination. Yet as soon as he hears Master's instruction to go play, he reverts immediately back to a mindless state. As for DS-005/Dusk, every indication is that he is one of Master's most trusted superdrones, and it is possible that he spends more time "on" and is only in that blank, happy and horny state when he wants to be, when the symbiote feels he needs to be, or when Master wants him to be. Or, more likely, he too is kept "blank, happy and horny" when Master isn't using his services, but gets a fair amount of recreational time when he is allowed to be mostly his own person. This is pretty much what he told Jamie in their Grindr conversation.

Well done! Can't wait to read more! Many possible turns and avenues this can take.

Oo, Eden. Lucky guy. He's definitely going to land on his feet. Or at least on all fours once they help that knee. ;)

I grew up with the Hardy Boys, and secretly had a crush on both of them in junior high. I guarantee I would still be reading them if they got this steamy!
