There are 10 modules on Fern's desk, and they're all division modules.

>"Eat up, Sugartooth."

Fern has been pronouncing 'Sugartooth' less and less ironically every time he says it.

>"I want answers for a lot of questions I shouldn't even have to ask. Questions like 'why've you been running around with your hands tied behind your back', and 'why've you been holding out on us?'"

Kinky, but unnecessary. Unity has a Jetalicum D module, which allows for realistic cum. If anything was to give it away it'd be the warm slightly afterglow feeling it's gonna give Anya, but that can probably be explained away as a 'first time' thing and the best way to distract her from it is to keep getting her off - which Varja should do for a few blissful minutes longer. We might want to phase out that function for later sexual encounters - if some perceptive lobbyist didn't turn off that feature already.

Have sponsor return Anya to regular stripping while he searches for a worthwhile job and orders in her training module, declaring what was supposed to be her 'DAMN good show' for 'Like a class of sex ed with benefits. I'm really just taking pity on you here by offering to loan you a training module.' Have Varja roll her eyes at that and ask for Anya's phone number so they can stay in touch, then call her later once arrangements have been made to give her time with a bike training module (and those coarse-metal gloves have been acquired). Anya also needs to decide whether she wants to invest in her own motorcycle or not.

The biological module mixed with the jetalicum module allows for a convincing synthetic, so Anya, especially not with a lack of a chemical analyzer, won't be able to make any assertions about the legitimacy of the sponsor's load.

"Alright, stripper. I'll line up something for you soon and for now, either out of charity of pity, lend you a dance module. I expect you to use it hard, and then get up and work your ass off on the main stage like you had to pay me back today."
>"That's the plan. Thank you."

Vajra keeps working Anya off until the training module comes. Anya gets that impatient look again.

>"Yeah yeah. I'll keep in touch and let you know. Give it some thought if you want to invest in your own bike or not. Go out there and relieve some stripper of her post." says Vajra, knowing by now that 'some stripper' is one of Unity's own divisions who was making some side cash while jobs were dry.

Unity begins planning the day's activities, and also consolidating about 120,000 dollars gained overnight during division's off periods.

Princess Toya has her name on some quickly growing businesses by this point, after doing a great deal of market research.

Although Gambler is not the business expert, he still guides the business to a large degree due to the need to make a lot of money fast, versus making a stable income.

"On a scale of one to 10," Gambler asks to the whole of Unity, "Where 1 is safe but hard investments, and 10 is throw everything to the wind with a good chance of huge rewards and a slight chance of catastrophic financial disaster, what number's best?"

I'd say 6. But I'd also say see about coming up with some other business personas, because remember this is the harvest sim and the society is kind of stagnant by design. Art/music/etc not so much (the "real" belenosians above the sim are probably happy to collect new media/dank memes from the inhabitants) but in terms of technological advancement and, in this case, major economic changes, that could draw unwelcome notice.

Very much this, especially on the unwelcome notice bit, so I'll go for Six as well. It only takes getting noticed once, after all. Any skewed degree of catastrophic loss or huge gain will be noticable to our competitor, so our gains and losses should both stay within statistically 'safe' outliers.

Put 20 percent of our investments into safe stuff so if the rest tanks we can restart.

The other 80 percent into high risk investments. 8-10 scale investments.

Every day move money from one to another so that the 20-80 ratio is kept equal. Will keep us solvent yet pulling in money hand over fist.

Most agree to be moderately aggressive, with some chants of 'sevener', to which Gambler calls a smartass answer and gets to work.

There is a team of business researchers among the lobbyists, which teach Gambler the technical side of running one.

Anya disappears in the dressing room for a couple minutes to comb herself over, then walks into the main area and starts dancing. She keeps her moves sweet and simple, so she won't be impressing the critics within the club, but most don't care in the least that she seems to be copying moves she saw when she first investigated the place.

One of Unity's phone rings.

>"Sugartooth!" says Fern. "We've got a situation. Take whatever's division closest to a highway and go straight east, right now."
"Okay. What's the situation?"
>"Some joker named Trecci is hopped up on lollipops and is about ready to be an asshat in public. We need you to stop him, with two ground rules. First off, you don't force him. Second, you aren't with the syndicate."
"Can I get more background information than that?"
>"Fine. This kid's the son of the owner of a very legitimate business, an owner that gets along well with me so long as we keep ourselves and our candy away from her darling little angel. Hell, if you can find out where he got his lollipops from, go for it, but my point's that he's too active and might be seen in public. If the wrong person recognizes him, then it's going to be a scandal for our mutual connection, he's going to be in a damn lot of trouble himself, and we're going to have a goddamned nightmare explaining to Mrs. Vall why her munchkin got hopped up on our drug when, and I fucking quote 'he just doesn't know what vice is.' No one wants that. His handlers are trying to delay him but they don't have authority over him, so haul ass and keep him out of public eye. It's too crappy a town for a jetal to be seen in, so stay biological. That clear enough for you?"

We need a picture or something so we know who to look for. We also need a location so that we can tell which one of our divisions is the closest.

If the closest divisions are the ones here watching Anya, then Vajra should be the one that’s sent, since the division that’s the Sponsor still needs to be here with Anya to finish whatever business that’s left to do with her.

We haven't been much on the drug side of the business- Fern explaining what kind of effects lollipops have on people will help our approach. (Some drugs make you paranoid, or aggressive, or... all kinds of things).

VIP's rich brat is going to cause a scene, keep him out of trouble, use kid gloves on him. Got it.

Get going, request any files the lollipops have on him for the collective to start going over, and have other people using phones to check up his social media presence. We can try to tailor our persona for him the way we did for Baron of Threes.

Ok get all the info you can on the kid and his background and lets whip up a cute face that he can not ignore. Then we parade around in front of him in a sexy outfit and lure him into our pants for a weekend of staying inside.

That being said make sure to send a division and keep a eye out on the situation. Never know when something like this could be a trap. People know we work for the syndicate so any emergency jobs for them of this nature could be setups. Not by Fern but by people who know how we work.

"It's clear and I'm on my way. I'll send two divisions for now to be safe, since most of my divisions will have productive things to do today. I'll send more divisions over if necessary." Fern sends over a more precise location. It's a town surprisingly far away from the capital, but with the fast lanes in the highway, Sugartooth can get there in about half an hour. "Remind me in your words, Fern, what the lollipop drug does?"
>"Remember listening to your favorite piece of music for the first time? First time you had your favorite food? I'd fuckin hope so since you're what, 5 days old? Imagine you're a biological and listened and ate that music and food too damn much and you're tired of it. Like sexual jading. Now you think 'damn, I wish I could forget about all that good stuff just so I can experience it for the first time again.' That's a reality for biologicals, with lollipops." Fern explains, sounding like he's rehearsing his sales pitches. "Temporary memory suppressant means that not just can a biological experience all kinds of shit for the first time again, it also gives a heightened sense of awareness and observation so that it's even better than the actual first time. Lollipops also combine all that with increasing feedback on the pleasure belenosians get for learning stuff - all in all, usually people get pretty fucking excited as they're finding out what multiplication is for the first time, or that the sky is blue, and so on."
"That sounds wonderful if not for the effects of abuse."
>"No shit. If it was a terrible experience through and through, we'd be out of business. Too bad jetals can only emulate the effects, otherwise we'd have a way to de-jade temporarily."

Trecci is looked up on social media. It appears to be a closed account that was last active 6 years ago. It's likely that he has an alternate identity that he uses, but there aren't any easy leads to secret accounts with what little information Sugartooth has.

Sugartooth's car, with both divisions inside, has entered Trecci's town. It's much smaller than the capital, but it still has a populations in the millions. She receives a text from a new number.

>"Hi, my name is Wally. I'm one of Trecci's handlers, and we've got an emergency."
"I've heard."
>"Yes, I think you've been told about the basic situation, but it just got worse. Trecci is getting in his car."
"Can you not stop him?"
>"No, if we physically restrain him, our protocol will send video evidence to Mrs. Vall for review on why we did it. Plus, he's an augmented biological, so we aren't even sure if we can."

A tracker is sent to Sugartooth's phone, showing where his car is. It's only a few blocks away, and shouldn't be too hard to catch up with.

>"Trecci said he was going to the library, but considering how easy it is to get distracted while on lollipops, going to the library is only slightly more likely than ending up anywhere else.

>>
No. 883931 ID: 14e348

Nice pitch Fern, but what we need to know is what exactly do those effects mean in terms of his behavior? Just easily distracted and over-enthusiastic about everything? Will he get irritable or aggressive if someone tries diverting him from something he's currently interested in? Does it make him talkative? Loud? Will he seek out other people or avoid them? Will he be tempted to do risky or dangerous things? Is there a general lack of inhibition or adverse effect on judgement? What sort of experiences will be more attractive to him? Will bright shiny/noisy/complicated things draw his attention more? Is he capable of some self-awareness and attempting to control himself, like a drunk person who knows they're drunk? Is there any effect on his memory, that is, will he remember everything that happens during this? And what happens when he comes down off it? What's the crash like? If he's a regular user, what about withdrawal symptoms?

I'd assume you guys have enough experience to know these kinds of things.

No. 883936 ID: 86eb65

Man I wish we had a convertible. Then we could drive by him and entice him with lewd goings on.

Ok make your divisions look like some busty twins. (or find out this guys preference and look like that)

Then we have a few options:

1. Get in a very tiny accident with him. Then promise to pay for everything and show him a good time in exchange for inconveniencing him. (note that this could set off alarms or the car could have ai driver assist so could be tricky)

2. Pull up along side while he is at a red light and both be dressed very skimpy. Make accidental eye contact and then ask if he knows where the library is. When he says thats where he is going be very happy and seduce him.

3. Follow him to wherever he is going. Then when he is out of the car engage the seduction times.



I would aim for 2 and then 3 if he gets distracted.

So it makes people super naive and excited and prone to doing stupid or dangerous or embarrassing things because they've forgotten about the risks or consequences. So... basically it's a drug that makes you prone to acting like an exuberant kid? We can work with that, I think.

Hmmm. Presumably the amnesia has to be limited in scope- some cutoff or selectivity in what you're forgetting (if you forget how to talk, or basic motor functions you're not gonna have much fun till it wears off. Although maybe that's a risk if you overdose, or if you have a bad trip?).

>Trecci is looked up on social media. It appears to be a closed account that was last active 6 years ago.
That might not be bad- if there's stuff Trecci walked away from or lost interest in six years ago, it might still be something that would be appealing to him in his current lollipopped state.

>Trecci is getting in his car.
...does he remember how to drive? Driving for the first time alone might not be terribly safe. Although if Trecci's car has an AI to drive it, he's probably physically safe so long as he doesn't override it, and odds are he doesn't remember how to do that.

>stage an accident
If we don't want to risk dinging the cars, or causing a real accident, we could get ahead of him, and instead of fender bender, and have Unity walk out in front of him as a pedestrian, and then turn that into a meet cute where we hang out with him.

Hopefully the AI assist will break for a pedestrian and we won't even have to work hard to conceal our jetal nature. (Are we keeping it a secret from just Trecci, or his handler too? The later limits our options more).

Sugartooth would like to know more details about the effects, but lollipops have wildly varying effects on people depending on personality, dosages and surroundings. Sugartooth still knows little - his old social media account has been closed not just in terms of being frozen, but what contents it has also can't be seen.

Provided they didn't take too much at once, people do typically remember what they did while under the effects even if some details get hazy, and the effects aren't so extreme to induce amnesia or forget well practiced things like how to talk. The crash itself isn't dramatic, and the person gradually returns to their normal self. As this sounds like his first use, withdrawal symptoms won't apply.

Driving a car would be dangerous, as Sugartooth turns the block and see's Trecci's car driving straight and within the lines, it can be presumed that the car's AI is driving. Nonetheless, there is most likely nothing stopping him from turning to manual if he wants.

A fender bender is tricky, as most AIs have cameras in the back that will lurch the car forward a bit if it can to avoid an accident, making a fender bender either something to be done at higher speeds, or hitting the car from the side, or other options that don't make it look like an accident at all.

Therefore, Sugartooth will make a near-accident. She drives ahead and parks while transforming into a final biological shape, where the other one blindly gets out of the car and crosses the street right in front of Trecci.

She can see Trecci clearly. The scanner shows subtle surgical scars that could imply implants and other augments, while he chose to keep a natural look on the outside. The social scanner addon, however, does not know what to make of his face.

Although aware and breathing, he is not otherwise moving.

No. 883975 ID: 14e348

Ok, good, that face gives you an excuse to talk to him. Have the division that walked in front try to say sorry to him, and the other come over to check if she's alright. Once they try to talk to him, they can notice his odd expression/behavior and ask if he's alright, wonder if there's something wrong, if he was so surprised he's in shock or shaken, ask if he's in a hurry and offer to buy him a drink as an apology or to help him relax again, et cetera.

I wonder if the car's AI might be an issue. Perhaps one of the two divisions could subtly connect and hack it?

Wave your hand in front of his face. "Um, are you all right? Can you hear me?"

If we can get him talking it should be smooth going from there, there's any number of things we could do with him for the first time, the seduction doesn't even have to lead to sex.

Sugartooth 1 moves around to the window, while Sugartooth 2 gets out of her car and starts running to Sugartooth 1.

The drugs make him naive. Only practical difference there is really outlandish claims, which this isn't. Astrophysicists exist, the economy isn't perfectly efficient so some of them will occasionally end up between jobs. Running into one at random, right when you need them most, is serendipitous but not inherently suspicious. The core of this assignment is to monopolize his attention, and offering exactly what he wants will achieve that at least for a little while even if he doesn't really believe it, since he'd be compelled to engage with the offer somehow in an effort to find some actual flaw before refusing.

If the initial teacher gambit doesn't work he'll probably blab his reasons, so then have another division move in with "independent confirmation" and try to "protect him from the scammer" or whatever. Teacher can circle around, get out of sight, change shape and prepare the next layer of contingency.

Sugartooth briefly looks up just how naive the drug can make people, but this is one of the factors that varies too wildly among people. There's nothing about the drug that directly causes one to be naive or gullible. What it does typically do is cause a newfound love for learning anything and everything, which can motivate belenosians to believing anything to get the best payoff.

"And you know what else? This planet was made out of 500 or so smaller planets that crashed into each other over the history of the solar system."
>"How do you know that?"
"I'm an astrophysicist teacher."

There's a brief hint of incredulous behavior from him, but not as much as wanting to know more.

>"Hmm! Then... answer a few question!"

Trecci asks a few brief questions that are quickly answered using the internet. Sugartooth gets into the car, and he seems more excited than anything about it, so the second division also gets in.

>"Who's that?"
>"Her teaching assistant." says Sugartooth 2.
"You know, there are phones you can use for this sort of stuff."
>"Not good enough! I don't want to know what the circumference of the moon is, I want to know how to figure out what the circumference of the moon is!"

"How about we go to a planetarium? They're having a special on the history of science, saying how everything was figured out!"
>"That is a great idea. Car! To the nearest planetarium!"

The car gets moving again, no longer leaving a scene of a girl running barefoot into the street.

Sugartooth pacifies Trecci by reading off an astronomy journal she found on the internet.

Sugartooth finds out the planetarium is just by the library anyway, as part of a public learning building. There are conveniently smaller study rooms that can be rented to allow Sugartooth's divisions to be alone with Trecci.

More inconveniently, Trecci has relocated the lollipop that stuck itself onto the center console. He starts making a motion to get at it to start eating it.

Do your best to distract him from having more drugs. But don't push to hard. If he finishes off that candy its ok but do your best to keep him from starting another one.

When he goes for the candy ask if he has that bad of a sweat tooth. What is is favorite flavor and other candy related questions.

If you can get his eyes off it hide the drugs using a tentacle slid down there or just your twins hand. If he notices it missing remark it must have fallen between the seats.

Is that a problem? So long as he's not eating the drugs in front of a cop, we just have to keep him out of trouble. And the more he forgets, the more vulnerable he is to pretty blatant manipulation and factoids.

>what do
If we can't trick him into not eating it, asking for a hit yourself / passing it around would reduce how much he gets, since anything your divisions suck off isn't doing anything.

Sugartooth puts her face in the way of Trecci grabbing it.

"Did your kids leave a lollipop?"

He starts to say something, but then his face blinks in realization.

>"Yeah!" He lies, showing he has enough self awareness to not talk about drugs sitting out in the open. "I'd better, uh, deal with that. I have a trash can up here."
"No need!"

Sugartooth pries it off the console and puts it in her mouth. It's not a mission failure if Trecci has more, but the sooner he comes down, the sooner the mission is a success.

>"Teach..." says the TA.
"What? This console is clean, I could eat off it, and I don't want good candy to go to waste. I have a sweet tooth, you know!"
>"What, uh..." Trecci struggles to gather basic words. "What flavor is that?"
"Hm... it's actually got a little spice to it! Otherwise, it's generic fruit flavor."
>"I-I see! I, uh, have no idea where my kids go to buy those things, so I always wondered what their tastes were. I think uh... we need to go. We have to get you to, uh... shoot.... where... where..."

Since things like planetariums and libraries are popular attractions to people under the effects of lollipops, Sugartooth 1 deals with renting a small room while Sugartooth 2 acts like a clingy girlfriend to distract him.

The entry goes smoothly, and there's no signs of anyone caring about Trecci too much as they begin to watch a 6 hour long lecture on the movement of the stars. The first hour, he's ecstatic about it and completely forgets about the drug incident. The second and third hour, he's extremely interested. In the fourth hour, he looks interested, then puzzled.

Just think about all the other things you - and more importantly, that other people - could have learned about. I'm on your side. If this doesn't interest you any more, and you're still not feeling yourself, would you prefer to go somewhere more private and see about maybe learning a few actually new things for a little while?"

I hope we've just stowed the lollipop inside ourselves rather than breaking it down. Analyzing it could give us clues to where it came from and who sold it.

Chuckle softly at his wigged-out expression and smile reassuringly.

"Nope, but does it really matter who I am? You've got to realize that everything we've done has been to your benefit. We got you out of the public eye, we stopped you from getting too high for too long and patiently waited for you to come down, and now we're only gonna ask you for a tiny favor for taking up some of our time. It's as sweet a deal as they come, honey."

Show off some recordings on your phone of his expressions, so he can have a viscerally embarassed reaction to how silly he looked and acted. Get him to reveal his drug source and his reason for trying the lollipop in the first place, since he's supposed to be such a good boy. If he's just bored and stressed, take whatever sob story he serves in stride and tell him to just ease up on the extreme solutions. Plenty of ways to have fun or be adventurous without druggin' up... and if he relents, or if it helps him relent, reward him with sex in the time that remains. Unless the study room you've hired contains a camera, in which case, either don't suggest it or take him elsewhere.

Suggest his cover story to anyone asking why he disappeared for so long can be that he hit on two nice women and went on a friendly study date. It'd be almost true, at least as far as any surveillance is concerned.

If he's come down, the planetarium isn't going to interest him anymore. But don't mention his dad, that might just make him panic. Just tell him you're here to make sure he's safe and doesn't get caught by anyone. And also you'd like to know where he got the lollipop.

>Analyzing lollipop
Sugartooth is keeping the lollipop in her, but they're kept in a plastic wrapper for the customer, so analyzing impurities within the lollipop haven't yielded clues about the source.

"You were asking simple questions, so I figured you didn't know much about the subject. And I like teaching, even if it's just a hobby!"
>"Har. I don't know if you're serious. Who..."

He pauses for a moment.

>"Shit, I lost my train of thought."
"If you know all this stuff, we can move onto more interesting topics and theories."

Unity may need to keep in mind that walking barefoot even on clean streets isn't as socially accepted as she thought.

I am a high end escort/diplomat/freelancer that gets called up when people need something done with a gentle touch.

"Let's say I'm someone who is not at all interested in causing you or your family any trouble - in fact, very much the opposite! - but who is very interested in knowing all about where you got that lollipop from. I have a feeling it didn't come from any established candy maker. You understand what I mean, right? Me and my friend have been your friends so far, so how about you return the favour, and maybe we'll see how much more friendly we can get? I don't deal in threats. If threats were on the table, you'd be talking to someone else. I don't think you need to ever have anything to do with them... so long as they have someone else to focus on."

>We need you to stop him, with two ground rules. First off, you don't force him. Second, you aren't with the syndicate.
Terms of engagement are we can't tell him the truth. We also probably shouldn't just refuse to answer, because if he stops to think about who has an interest in keeping him out of trouble, he might figure out it's the syndicate.

Best lie might be to make ourself look a little sinister, like we have an ulterior motive. We're working for someone who wants dirt on his family, or is working an angle.

That or we just claim to get off on this.

"Mmmm. I'm something of a friendly busybody I guess. I helped out you, maybe that means I can call in a favor later?"

Probably should make up a new name on the spot in case we need to use it to contact him again. We won't really need a favor, but if he thinks we might, that we only helped him because it gets us something, it's a more plausible narrative for him to buy. We don't even have to specify what our angle is- his imagination will come up with things for us. (We're looking for leverage on his Dad's business or something).

We could pretend to be with the cops. I bet Incoming Wife would let a user go to catch the dealer, and maybe spice the investigation with some sensual bribery if she thought the target was cute and a decent enough person really. We should emulate her! Or, this possibly-fictitious idea of her, anyway. That way, we could even claim to know the lollipops weren't involved without giving away that we're with them; we can just say this was obviously a more amateur deal than they would do.

Or, if we wanted to give up any further investigation and just cut this off as safely as possible now, we could just say something like "I'm a prostitute and your handlers put out a call for someone who could be a distraction to someone in your condition, a couple of someone-who-knows-someones later and here I am. I'm yours for another hour or two if you wanted to get someone else's money's worth."

When a mother thinks their kid is a perfect angel who has never thought of doing bad stuff, it means the mother is deluded and the kid is generally good at hiding stuff, never that the kid is actually an angel.
