Sunday: Neural Control Node

A day in the life of Josh and his five neurally enhanced assistants

After a network blackout erases memories and scatters loyalties, Josh reunites his five neurally enhanced assistants—Rhi, Gina, Essie, Tess, and Katie—in a riverside mansion, forging new routines: dawn workouts synced through buzzing mental links, shopping sprees for bodies tuned to perfection, and deepening bonds that pulse with shared purpose.

Dive into their minds to feel the Neural Control Node's subtle AI hum: Rhi's serene devotion as she senses Master's quiet joy; Essie's fierce protectiveness amid the hive's undercurrents; Katie's elusive wholeness finally clicking into place; Gina's eager spark igniting the group; Tess's steady coordination weaving them tighter. Impulses to serve—to train, nurture, connect—flow as naturally as breath, jealousy dissolving in the mesh's soothing directives.

But as Josh gears up to start his new job to find those affected by the rogue cubes, whispers of corporate intrigue and dormant nodes threaten their fragile harmony. Can the slab's network hold their polyamorous family together, or will it pull them apart?
