Chapters A Report from the Farm Foreword
To all private members whom it may concern,
I’m very pleased with the recent changes to our program, which we have had great success with so far. Of course, improvements to our working progress were necessary after not only the incident at the beginning of the last fiscal year, but also the ongoing problems we’ve had this year with our implants. We’ve been forced to delay nearly 80% of our custom orders for months while looking for a new lead surgeon and nurse, never mind the refunds we had to give for braindead Toys. With those delays came further losses, as you are all well aware of due to my request for an investment from your association.
But I’m happy to report that we are back in the black! And even though the Board has refused to return controlling interest in my own venture to me, I understand what I signed up for when you found my company at your proverbial doorstep, and I especially look forward to collaborating with your other subsidiaries in Switzerland and Japan now that we can keep up. Together, we will produce new techniques and products at a breakneck pace, I assure all of you.
Now for the main content of my report: myself and my new lead developer (see Appendix B for qualifications, background check, and other hiring forms) have found the solution to the sudden deaths of our older models. As I’ve previously mentioned, we are only having these problems with Toys we have wiped completely. Those who have been conditioned or left mentally intact have not been affected. To explain, in an issue completely unrelated to the instability and spontaneous recovery of Sarah Beaton, it seems that there is an unresolved stability bug in our brain interface. After we had substituted the free will and behavioural functions of these hosts (largely female), the brain was left with nothing to do in much of the frontal lobe, and we began to see consistent atrophy. This is not a problem in and of itself, but against all expectations, that atrophy would spread over the course of years and shut down the rest of the brain. Our implants can keep the body alive and functioning, like a pacemaker to the least complex white matter, but with no cognitive platform left to operate with, the hosts are effectively brain-dead. Such catatonia may excite our doll owners and forniphiliacs, but the rest are quite displeased. We must remember that these ToyGirls and ToyBoys grow to become beloved parts of our customers’ lives.
Well, we have good news and bad news. The bad news is that we have no way of restimulating those Toys that are already “on the way out,” as their deleted personalities and memories are just that: deleted, and no facsimile we create can restimulate to the same level as natural thought. But we have adjusted our warranties appropriately for our past customers. The good news is that we have a solution for future production, and it simply includes more work on the implant’s part (and our behavioural programming team). Our new implant model, instead of a brute-force deletion after acquisition, now interprets more complex thoughts and internal monologues, and watches this stream for restricted actions or behaviours, training the Toy down until it reaches its intended role, whether that be a bimbo wife, an animal, or a decorative object like a doll. This is a longer, more complicated procedure, and we can sadly no longer produce guilt-free Toys that are unthinking or unaware of their new reality, so we have also implemented a way to livestream the data back to us so we won’t be caught off guard ever again by another Sarah Beaton-like incident.
A memlog of one of the newer models is included below. She is our last test pilot before we begin production once again. Please forgive if this log is raw: very little editing has gone into it since we received it last week. These are the unfiltered thoughts of our product, with some sections excised for brevity.
Enjoy! And thank you for your continued support, Jasper
