You look at your creation for roughly 30 seconds. Eventually you answer "You've obviously emerged into full-fledged sapience. I think it would be fitting for you to pick your own name. As for modifying you, I've got a rather full schedule but I can forward some plans to the engineering department."
Joe 14 salutes, before replying "Affirmative. Anyways, I think I'd like to be called Anne if that's the case. When will be my appointment?"
Your answer is "Whenever you get down there, they should be able to fit it into your memory defrag schedule."
Anne nods, and wanders off. You see her with her lover the next day, and you only manage to recognize her because she's with the same guy and using the same mannerisms. She looks rather nice, considering her new skin is silicone rubber. The blue dress she's wearing also suits her pretty well.
You remark "Anne, you're looking absolutely beautiful."
Your robot 'progeny' replies "Thanks, even better is that this doesn't impact my combat effectiveness any because when it's time for a mission I can just do this!" Anne suddenly emits a blue flash of light, and when it fades she's back in her armored combat mode. She salutes before shifting back to civilian mode and adding "I personally prefer being like this though, I feel like I fit in more. Oh, in other news I tried the food in the cafeteria for the first time, and it was delicious! Sure it doesn't have much in the way of fusionables or the metallic elements my self-repair system needs, but I had it with a glass of heavy water and my new mouth has a setting for my sense of taste that matches what humans get!"
After much frustration with trying to get someone to volunteer to test your sleep-learning machine, you eventually announce at roll call on Thursday "Due to a lack of interest, the first person to test the sleep learner machine will receive a 500,000 bonus on their paycheck. Other rewards may also be considered."
It's in the evening when one of the soldiers volunteers, and the test begins. The machine works well, and though he's rather exhausted in the morning, he also suddenly knows how to code in Java. You give him the bonus pay via check, and he goes back to his bunk in the base. Now that you know it works (even if it does have some side effects) you can start applying the technology.
Steven and Joe 37 step into your office, and Steven asks "I'm guessing this is the final stage of deciding which of us gets command of the new moon base when it comes online over the weekend, so, which of us gets the job?"
you put your hands together and answer "Yes."
Joe 37 facepalms as Steven replies "With all due respect, that was completely unhelpful."
You then elaborate "Steven, you're getting the promotion, but I'm assigning Joe 37 as your aide. You'll be beamed moonside tomorrow the both of you. Dismissed."
Joe 37 salutes sharply and precisely as he turns to leave, while Steven is more preoccupied trying to get rid of a cramp in his neck.
