Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

"That is why I love you! You are just like me and love books above all else! I need a fantasy fix on how to get this AI out of my head! We need to think of a way to transfer consciousness from my mind into the body," I explained, and Anya\'s eyes went big.

"Really? I never thought that using that kind of knowledge would ever be useful," Anya said, pinching her chin between her thumb and index finger.

"Neither did I, but when I flew over this morning, I gave a bit more thought to everything that has happened so far. We lost all power, but there must be a way to replace it with something better, but how? My brain is only so big, and I don\'t have all the answers, but I realized that I have been looking at this the wrong way. We no longer live in what we have always considered the real world; This world has become fantasy, and we need to start thinking about it that way,\'\' I explained, and all three girls nodded.

"I see what you mean, and when Gaia and I were setting this up, I actually pulled the idea from a science fiction novel I had read. I will keep this in mind moving forward, and we might even be able to edit our own bodies like this. Imagine a world where everyone could fly and climb trees like it was normal?!" Sofia said, getting more and more excited as she explained.

"Let\'s not just imagine these things; let\'s make them a reality! Consider no idea too far-fetched or out of reach. We might not be able to replicate some things exactly, but I am sure that we will figure out something close!" I said with a smile, and Sofia nodded, grinning.

After that, Gaia led us back to one of the blank Elf clones, and it was definitely featureless. Its face was so plain that it was almost hard to look at.

"Don\'t worry, we can change your face after. This is just the easiest way to mass-produce them. It would take too long to give the individual faces, so we decided to wait until they were ready to be used," Gaia explained, and I nodded, turning to Anya.

"So, any good ideas?" I asked, and Anya shrugged.

"I mean, all the transfers that I can think of use magic or some kind of special technologically advanced equipment. May you try to meditate while connecting the body? I just have never heard of transferring another conciseness out of an existing one. Everything is trading places or sending one to another, but we don\'t even know what the AI really is," Anya said with a sigh, then asked, "How did they even get in your head? Were you abducted? Are they something physical, or some type of energy-based beings?"

I created an oversized round couch that wrapped around the whole pod and then made cups. I concentrated and broke down the concept of making coffee.

Growing and roasting them and then crushing them to run hot water through. After a moment, small green tubes pissed out as close to coffee as I could get.

"Ooo!" All three girls said and reached forward to grab a steaming cup.

​ I reached forward but had no hope of it being any good. I lifted it up to my nose, and it predominantly smelt like coffee, but it was a bit watery looking.

I sipped it and confirmed that it was pretty watered down, but it was coffee. The fact that I could do what I just did made it that much better, and I could improve by roasting the beans longer so they release more flavor, or so I assumed.

"For my first cup of coffee made by a tree, this is really not bad. A bit watery, but it is pretty good. Way to go, Papi!" Sofia exclaimed.

"I figured that you would be the one to appreciate this the most," I said to her, then looked at Gaia, asking, "How do you like it?"

"I have always wanted to try things, and it is bitter and dry, but not that bad. Maybe with some sugar and cream like I had seen before, and it might be better," Gaia said, and Anya nodded from beside me.

"I agree. Some soy or almond milk and cane sugar would be very nice!" Anya said as she sipped her cup.

"Not that we are comfortable; let\'s get back to what Anya was talking about. There is a lot we don\'t know about the AI still or how they even got here. Maybe we should ask the expert on this stuff; Orphus might be able to help us figure this out," I said.

Anya and Sofia nodded, but Gaia looked to be concerned.

"What is wrong? You cut him off, right? So letting him talk should be fine, right?" I asked, and Gaia nodded slowly.

"I am just worried about how much I should be believed. Orphus said he is not concerned about how things play out in our world. He doesn\'t seem to care if we win or lose, and that is dangerous. How are we supposed to trust anything that he says? Some could be true, but just as much could be lies," Gaia explained, and I nodded.

"That I can agree on, but I think we should be okay for now to focus just on getting him out of my head. I am sure that he will want to get out of the darkness he has been trapped in. Once we have him in an actual body, you and I will be able to tell if he is lying," I explained, and Gaia nodded.

"As long as we have a plan going in, and we don\'t deviate from it, then we should be fine. Just keep things simple until we can monitor him. This is an unfortunate thing to do to him, but as things stand, I don\'t see any other way that doesn\'t put us at risk," Gaia said and nodded to me.

[I guess it is time to kick me out?]
