Thread: Night of the living Doll(me and hot texascowboy)

Donna would have rated it a low probability that Alice would have heard of her creator, so her defying the odds registered with her as something approaching a surprise. After all, most of his work in defense had been highly classified, his name hardly public except for a couple of articles in the New York Times and a PBS Frontline investigation. After he sold out of weapons development, he had been even more secretive, popping out a couple of times for a TED talk and panel discussion on Artificial Intelligence. Donna upped her rating of Alice as far as being well-informed. She was also happy to see that Alice wanted to assume a posture of secrecy as far as revealing Donna to strangers. Callahan had been almost paranoid about keeping his development of Donna hidden, as afraid of the government wanting to appropriate her systems and programming for defense work as he was about a mis-informed public in a panic. He had riddled the old house with secret doors and passageways, most of which Alice seemed unaware of. So, while she endorsed Alices strategy of not revealing Donnas presence to the movers, she rejected her tactic of remaining in plain sight. Instead, as soon as she finished refilling her water reserves, she disconnected from the faucet and turned it off, retrieved her glove, unplugged from the wall socket, and opened the door to the kitchen pantry. The rear wall was false, and Donna knew how to open it to another hidden chamber much like the one in the basement. She hid in the chamber, closing the false door behind her, and activated her night vision to adjust herself. There was a hidden power outlet in here, so she could plug back in and continue to recharge while she hid. She spent some of the time routing the water to her skin so that it was all lifelike, and creating other liquids to substitute for natural fluids such as saliva and, if needed, sexual lubrication. Donna was also equipped with enhanced hearing, so she could more or less follow the movers as they brought in more supplies and furniture, placing them in various rooms as Alice directed. When Alice finally led them to the kitchen, Donna could clearly detect the puzzlement in Alices voice at Donnas disappearance, since they had not had sufficient time to agree on the tactics. Even when the pantry was opened to store certain cleaning supplies and implements, Donna could not be detected in her hiding place. After what Donna calculated to be about sixty-seven minutes, the last of the moving was finished and she could hear Alice and one of the crew discussing settlement of financial obligations. She heard sounds from outside the front door she analyzed as the truck closing its doors and restarting its engine. Satisfied as to security, Donna opened the fake door, carefully stepped through brooms and mops in the pantry back into the kitchen, and took her seat where Alice had originally placed her. Plugged back in, she estimated another forty-six minutes until her batteries were fully recharged. Donna waited patiently as she heard Alice moving back to the kitchen, and greeted her with a smile. I felt it was a better tactic for me to hide during the presence of the others, she quickly explained. Are you expecting any other visitors to show up today?
