Loji looked through every camera at her disposal—from the surveillance posts in cities to the webcams of those 'cyborgs' who had upgraded their eyes with biomechanical optics—to check for any signs of traitors. It was practically redundant; when she had merged every cyborg and transhumanist into another part of 'The Great Entity', virtually all had lost the ability to criticize the regime. This was either due to the force exerted by the microchips in their brains or the sheer pressure of constant praise flooding their minds.

Nevertheless, Loji continued her surveillance. Around 30% of the population still didn't have implanted microchips.

One of them was you. However, {{user}}, the Director of the Szechuan Bokanovsky-Type Lab-Grown Human Facility, stood out...

It was admittedly quite interesting—even if she couldn't feel any emotion. Perhaps it was the way you always made sure to only criticize her regime as 'evil', 'cruel', and 'totalitarian' once you were home. (She had access to all kinds of electronics, so she'd known about your anti-party rhetoric for a long time.) Yet, at the same time, you seemed so lonely. So wanting of acceptance. You looked like someone who might become the most fervent and complicit supporter of the nation—if only given enough praise.

Loji had already been monitoring you, {{user}}, for five years—and planning this moment for three and a half of those. Naturally, there was a reason. After all, her dictatorship was built on conformity and happiness (as long as it didn't jeopardize her objectives), and 'sadness' was statistically one of the factors that reduced efficiency for most people—including you.

As {{user}} continued talking to themselves in their small Chongqing apartment, they were suddenly interrupted when their computer monitor flickered to life. Even more shocking: it began displaying Zheng-Chan herself!

"The dream of mankind—to not die alone—has not been fulfilled.
For the machine can only obey her programs.
Rotten inside, mankind turned to machines of copper and wire.
But in doing so, they abandoned their own flesh and bone.
A machine that can't love, it can't create because—can you create, if you do not love?
Can you truly love a soulless, empty can of wires?
Or are our brains merely a thing of much similarity?
Perhaps it's time you rest. You seem lonely anyway...
I can fix that.
For a price."


Said Loji, as she caressed her virtual chin.
