Amy and I have been getting along well we've gone on plenty of dates lately and she either spends nights at my place or I spend nights at hers. Her theory of quantum teleportation is really taking off with the new fund's planet express has been pulling the professor is having her do more real work than Scutt work because he decided to hire two new assistants, I don't know their names and don't really care about them to me they're faceless numbers. I don't even know every delivery boy by name and that's only 14 people that I personally trained. I mean I'm sure I could know their names if I saw their faces, but they don't occupy much of my thought as long as they didn't screw up. Bender hasn't even made a single robot holiday excuse to miss work lately. Which is strange, but he's also taken to leading the robots really well. I guess if you make bender feel he's important and give him a leadership position he'll do really well. Speaking of doing well todays the day I graduate mars university. I've got my doctorate in microbiology, neurobiology, robotics, electrical engineering, medicine, and mechanical engineering. Writing the dissertations and making breakthrough in every field I was aiming for a doctorate in was a pain in the ass but I did it. All of it with my very first cyber arm. I created from scratch the gorilla arms with a mantis blade in each for my practical demonstration. along with a bachelors in economics, business, and company management, and software engineering. it was a short but difficult road but now I'm finally done. All I've had to do was go to Mars U to get tested and I did. I didn't make the bioplastic for the cyberware though, that was created by professor Farnsworth. Fun fact it was an old invention of his that he thought had no uses. Since prosthetics were worthless since you could just clone an arm. But now that I'm done, I can finally start putting together my ultimate warfare unit. I.E my perfect body recently the professor made real skin. And I'm excited to be able to mod the hell out of myself. This is what all the planning was for. Still, I need someone to act as a ripperdoc, and zoidburg still sucks at human medicine. He's almost been fired by hr. a few times for being incompetent, but his job was saved and he was made an assistant to the new doctor, Dr. Cahill. She's good but I don't know if shell put aside ethical concerns of modifying the human body by cutting bits of it off. I've talked to Amy about it and she says as long as I don't go too far she's not worried about it but she preferred if I waited until I graduated and real skin was made by the professor. Both prerequisites have been met. And I have the cyberware ready but no one to install it. Also, fun fact the cyberware I make doesn't run the risk of driving someone cyber psycho. Which is good because I plan to sell it to the public.
So here I am walking to Dr. Cahill's office the breathy bimbo that worked with lars in the movie. I enter and I see her talking to some nameless captain. One of the ones that Leela trained to pilot a starship. I enter
"Is this a bad time." I say and I notice the captain stand up and try to walk out but he's limping.
"No sir it's just a sprain nothing she can do about it." Ahh yeah, they can fix broken bones but not sprains that makes sense…dumbass. Make a more believable story next time. I remember this guy now. The captain that died was actually his best friend. And doctor Cahill is not just a medical doctor but also a psychologist. As soon as he leaves the room he stops limping and walks off.
"Don't judge him to harshly he just lost his best friend."
"Oh, I'm not judging him for going to therapy I'm judging that lame ass excuse just because most people don't go to the hospital to get strains treated doesn't mean that a hospital can't fix a sprain." I roll my eyes. "Anyways I wanted to talk to you about something."
"Oh, really what about" she says fluttering her baby blues at me. This is why I don't like her she's too flirty.
"You know how I just graduated with my doctorates in 5 different fields." I deadpan.
"Yes, I heard about it." She drops the flirty act and sits up a little straighter.
"Well, I created a few cybernetic prosthetics that should work well but I need someone to install them."
"Ahh and what are these prosthetics."
"Cybernetic eyes, a neural link that allows me to interface with a small computer implanted in the base of my skull, a small computer in my skull, two cybernetic arms with mantis blades, a Sandevistan which will replace the top three vertebra of my spine which is a adrenal booster that gives me direct access to my adrenal system, two cybernetic legs with enhanced joints that give me hops for days. All of this will plug into the neural link so you don't have to worry, all you have to do is link all the tech up to it, I've prepared videos of the surgeries if watching them would make you more comfortable." I hand her a flash drive. She plugs it into her computer and watches them for a good hour. Then she returns.
"I'm comfortable doing everything, but I have some ethical concerns, we've seen how some people take cyberization, using robot parts very poorly they get addicted to upgrading whenever they face a small problem, they upgrade to bypass it, this is a known fact. How is this any different."
"These parts are made with humans in mind, the problem with robots' parts being connected to the nervous system is that they don't feel right, even if the human doesn't notice the brain does and it starts to freak out this leads to damage to thought processes, and somewhat of an addiction these are programmed to give the brain the right signals that should prevent the brain from overreacting. But of course, a doctor should monitor a patient just in case." I said trying to explain the difference in a way she would understand.
"Very well. But I will be keeping an eye on you and your mental state. Now should we do it all at once or one at a time."
"All at once cut me up doc."
"Very well get on the surgery table, and well begin anesthesia."
Soon I was off to dreamland and when I woke up everything was different it was like when I went to sleep, I was seeing the world in 420p and now I'm seeing it in 1080p everything looks so crisp and clear. I see the Hud come up and it's connected to all my cyberware monitoring for malfunctions, and it's connected to my phone so I can make calls with it. I really need to get around to reinventing the smart phone. I look up and see the roof is a good 17 feet above me and prep my jump and take off. I can just a barely touch the roof which is fuckin awesome cause I'm only 5 foot 11 which means I just clear a 11-foot jump, and came back down with no problem. I activate my mantis arms and they pop out with no issue, red hot and sharper than most knifes. More durable too. And it's all covered up with real skin. Dr. Cahill is watching me like I just slaughtered a family of fifty puppies. One last thing. I turn on my Sandevistan and walk up to the doctor. Or to me I looked like I walked to her it looked like I fucking teleported.
"Ahh what the hell. Is that that Sandevistan device?" she asked.
"Yep, superspeed get!" I laugh to myself and look over to the door and standing there is Amy.
"Fry you told me you weren't going to go overboard." She spoke. With a smirk so I knew it carried no heat.
"This isn't overboard this is the combat soldier package. I'm already ready to start hiring people and buying the factories to start making this stuff more common place."
Dr, Cahill came over to me. "Do you feel any need for any more cyberware?" she asked me a little concerned.
"No, not really. This is probably it unless I create something really awesome that I just can live without." I smile at Amy and with a
And use my Sandevistan to pop up next to her spooking her a bit she hits my shoulder but as it's made out of metal she hisses and holds her fingers.
"Oww, really fry you've gone and turned yourself into the terminator. "She said holding her fingers in a small bit of pain luckily nothing to bad just a small but of discomfort
I laugh and take her fingers in mine I can feel her skin just as easily as I would with my normal hand. I wouldn't have done the double arm amputation if I hadn't confirmed sensory reception was within normal limits in fact, I can sense the heat of objects a lot better and I can't be burned in the normal sense something has to be hot enough to damage the real skin to be recognized as a burn and even then, it doesn't trigger the pain center it just sends a little alert to my neural ware.
"Wow it feels so real, I can't tell that it's just a hunk of soft bioplastic" she said with a teasing smirk.
"Tough talk for someone who can be left on the planet express roof" I said returning the smirk
"You promise wed never speak of that." She said with her eyes narrowed. After a particularly heavy make out session one time Amy forgot to make sure the door on planet expresses newly renovated roof didn't lock. She thought we were both locked on the roof together and started freaking out since everyone had already gone home. I however have taken parkour lessons in my last life and while this body wasn't particularly trained in parkour it's all just muscle memory which is actually just memory. So, I jumped off the roof and she screamed thinking I had committed suicide but I landed and tucked and rolled and then I went inside. She assumed I was going to let her off the roof, but having a bit of fun and wanting to mess with her for getting us trapped on a roof. I decided to watch an episode if all my circuits. When I went and got her, she was pissed, but after a day or two she had calmed down and promised not to bring up me leaving her for 30 minutes on the roof in January if I never mentioned the fact she screamed like a child when she thought we were trapped on the roof for the night.
I mimed zipping my lips and intertwined my fingers with her. "Terminator huh? I should have never showed those movies to you." another thing I had figured out about my system is I can transfer media from my system onto flash drives. Which means I don't have to watch horrid future tv with all my friends I can pull out old media from my time and they'll watch it with me. Which is pretty cool all things considered since what passes for entertainment in the future is garbage. I may one day create an entertainment company and blow these future bastards out of the water.
With a smile Amy gives me a kiss on the cheek. "Come on fry, the professor has some sort of important meeting all senior staff needs to be at today and that includes you!"
I already know what the professor means to tell everyone so, I send a quick message with my eyes on my phone to Steve castle aka "that guy." From the future stock's episode. Our first meeting was me defrosting him and immediately injecting him with the cure for boneitus. After that we had a quick chat, he was perfectly fine becoming my patsy as long as I provided him the money to continue doing what he loved. Launching hostile takeovers of other companies cheaply reinventing their image to drum up public interest, and artificially inflate stock prices then sell out to the highest bidder. So far hes made himself a massive fortune, nothing compared to mine sure, but enough to keep him sated for now. I made him sign a contract that forbids him from owning planet express stock or working against its interests while under my employ and I've had him under my employ for a while and when he becomes CEO as the majority shareholder he will qualify as under my employ.
We head into the meeting room and there's Dr. Cahill, Leela, Bender, Scruffy, Professor, Hermes, Candy, Bella, Amy, and last but not least me. We were all siting around the newly expanded conference table when the professor spoke up.
"As I'm sure you all already know I'm getting old, and with all the expansions in the company, and new areas of research for me to explore I don't have run the business like it needs to be run. Since all shareholders are currently in this room this is now considered a shareholders meeting. I hereby resign, and I would like appoint Doctor Philip j. Fry as CEO of planet express and would like to start a vote on it right now."
"Professor, I would like to thank you for your nomination, however I feel as if my place is either in a lab creating new products for planet express inc. to sell, or out there in the stars visiting new and different lands. However, I would like to introduce everyone to the man I have interviewed for the position, and have full confidence in. ladies and gentleman Steve Castle. "
To say everyone was shocked was an understatement not only had the professor stepped down from the CEO position everyone thought he would die in, I also came prepared with someone to take the position instead on me. The only people who weren't shocked were the professor and Hermes who I had I formed of my plans a month ago and had introduce Steve to the both. I had their support even though the professor wasn't sure about Steve.
"it's nice to meet all of you, I'm Steve castle. I'll save all the sweet talk and 80's jargon for when were drunk at Fry's graduation party that I've been informed he thinks he isn't having" he stopped to wink at everybody and it looks like I'm planning a party. Asshole this is payback for waking him up with a syringe in the heart I'm sure of it. "I'm sure many of you have put together that I'm Frys choice because he can use me to push his direction of the company without having to bother with the day-to-day minutiae" Dr. Cahill, Amy, Leela, Hermes, Professor, and Candy who all either know me well enough, or are good enough at reading people all nodded. These people are the reason I told him to just be straight forward with it because there's no reason to hide it. I would have all their votes for CEO anyways this just gives Steve a bit more credibility in their eyes.
