ISS: The Iliad Myriad
Unending BE - episode 297840
Upon their return to Earth, Sharon said "You will be working for me from here on." She led him back to her room and adjusted one of the control panels. "We are now hacked into the computer systems of a secret government agency called CUPID, which is currently embarking upon a Project Iliad, a worldwide search for female beauty. Their files will be the basis for your coming up with four thousand prototype models. Of course, you will also be given morphing powers as well. Enni will be of assistance to you. She can, of course, become any new model that you find or create, so that you can perform ... personal tests." She gave a smug little grin."Ah ... four thousand?"
"I know that sounds high, which is precisely why -- " Sharon tapped the console. " -- I want your imagination to become as widely informed as possible. You will be permitted to scan millions of models of beauty, and will be encouraged to select all manner of perturbations of beauty which, left to yourself, simply might not occur to you. Also, I may as well let you know in advance that your choices will be weighted to Earth's present ethnic mixture. So I might advise that you concentrate on Chinese and Hindu types first, as between those two you would have to come up with at least fourteen nundred models. Don't worry, Jim. As I say, we have plenty of time, and I know you're ... up for it."
Jim frowned slightly. If Sharon was launching the next men's magazine, that would be one thing, but instead she was planning some sort of alien sexual revolution. It was all a little too selfless for his tastes.
"What's wrong, Jim?"
"Sharon ... couldn't we -- "
- " -- build our own little media empire based on all these beautiful women?"
- " -- start this out as our own ... escort service?"
- *" -- clone these women? I still feel funny about sexual machines."
- " -- talk a little more about everything the State wants from Earth?"
