Weirdo

I crossed my arms, as June drove. "I don't know why you are the one who is mad."

June stared at me, and scoffed. "Why can't you just listen to me sometimes? I told you what he wanted and why you should stay away from him Stella."

I looked out the window and pouted, "That's exactly why I should though. He knows things June, not to mention it makes no sense that he is doing all this stuff."

She sighed, "Stella, trust me I know. His actions seem to have multiple motives, like my current legal battle. Do you realize the people who are getting in trouble are the same ones that are trying to deny public release of your nanites?"

I couldn't help, but scoff. "Its his nanites, I may have made them. However they are all his designs."

June put a hand on my thigh and sighed, "Stella, I'm here for you okay and I'm on your side. So when I say you'd have eventually made them without his help. you would've, besides I looked at those designs. most of it went over my head. I know for sure though you made two of those designs by your own creativity."

I felt my lips pucker and I let out a long sigh. "I wanted to see the stars, and he not only pinpointed my talent, but also connected it to my dreams. I just... it makes no sense."

June nodded, "I can understand it, honestly I think he know more."

I debated about telling June how much more he just might know. Mom and Dad's research it was well documented. I had seen it as a kid, but now it was stored away on some governments filing cabinet. I was almost 99% sure he had someone how seen those papers.

I tried to lighten the mood, "Seems like he is helping an awful lot of women."

June laughed, "I thought that too, but you remember your old professor Achilles?"

I nodded, "Pretty sure he's helping him too. Just a lot more subtly, don't know why though."

Professor Achilles was pretty hot, I wonder if he was still working on his portal thingy. "What do you think i should do next June?"

She adjusted her mirror and let a car pass by us. "I don't even know what I am gonna do Stella."

Right, she would be out of a job soon. Maybe i should make some kind of robot police force... Nah, that sounded dystopian.

--------

I rubbed my forehead, I don't think I can keep Stella at arms length anymore. I had really hoped I could keep her far away. However her curiosity is just gonna spread to others if I leave this alone. The thing I wanted the least was more problematic characters being suspicious of me. 

Okay, I got an idea. I wanted to just stick with recruiting the people I wanted. however i think its time to just throw a net out. I'll recruit some actual employees for my agency. They will be both recruiters and managers. I'll pay them a bonus for the people they sign and keep on board. I'll be recruiting ones I want directly.

Second I needed to create a secondary company. This one will be products to advertise. I gave out most of the blueprints that would be just better if they are in people's lives. Cars are being sold with the kinetic nullification seatbelts already. So the stuff I needed would be more luxury stuff. I checked through all the stuff stored in my data base.

I collected a few, and set them aside. Second I sighed, I'll recruit Stella... Once the company for the products is made I'll recruit her on as a consultant. That way I can hopefully control what she does a little more. 

Third, eh my third step was actually an auction house. I thought for a second and smiled. I had a plan for that, a plan indeed. I'll use this as the debut setting for Sunny. In the novel her debut was in a group similar to that to her brother. That was however part of her unlucky disposition. Her singing talent was ore aligned for solo acts and a far different type of music.

i make some robotic helpers for it. They would be playing the violin, a piano and cello. All of which would be augmented, for Sunny. I'll dress her in a red dress, classic for setting. The last part of this would be the song, I'll have to write one.

I paused, there was a joke here about AI writing it, but I couldn't help it. I had to at least try to let an AI write it. That would be hilarious, at least to me.

This would get me a sort of easier in for the auction house I need to go to. I was like 30% sure half the trash in it would be jewelry, however it would have some occult stuff that I had to get my hands on. Occult stuff was extremely rare on Nearth. Most of it would come from the planet professor Achilles would open a portal too.

That planet was something I had to prepare for, not a lot, I mean I could just get a shotgun and conquer it. However I still needed to hold off on it. I wanted not to conquer the inhabitants of that world, but instead tame them. The Lemurians, a stereotypical lizard man or kobold that dominate their world. In the novel the steadfast Iguemente lived there, a type of Lemurian sub-species Velvys.

He would be useful little champion that could help me in the long run. Stella helps him in the novel to avenge his species. Eventually he swears to help protect humanity and blah blah blah. I knew the novel though and could do far more than just avenge his species. To do that I needed one of specific occult item called the Sun Tablet.

For now I'll stop planning for that though. Despite planning to grabbing the Sun Tablet at this auction I was still 90% sure that the first threat I had to deal with was the Throne. Those ripe-off big box of horrors.

I blinked, man I need some sleep. It's midnight...
