"You can also command it to park itself around a corner or driveway…

"

n

"There are just so many things tied to it…

"

n

"It will be better if you just connect to it and go through them yourselves, but first, you have to rename the watch AI, because that is the same name this SUV will respond to whenever you are close-by…

"

nTim finished and stepped back for Sam to begin the connection process…

nSam simply turned his wrist to check the time, and instantly Tim the watch AI came online;

nChu-Lom

n

"Hey Sam, what would you like to do?

" It asked;

n

"Change your name…

"

nSam said in hope, he wasn't sure whether that was the right way to rename the AI, but when heard another Chu-Lom sound, he understood he had been worrying for nothing;

n

"Say my name…

" Damn… This came out wrong… LOL!

n

"Orchid!

"

nSam said, and after telling him to repeat the name two more times for verification and confirmation, the watch AI finally adopted the name 'Orchid', then Sam was about to approach the SUV, but the moment he turned around to face the SUV, he heard a Chu-Lom sound and then;

n

"SUV has been discovered, would you like me to assume control over this it?

"

n

"Affirmative!

" Sam responded like they did back at the base…

nChu-Lom!

nSynchronizing User Data with SUV mainframe…

nSynchronization Complete…

nAssuming Control Of SUV Command System…

n2% complete…

n5% Complete…

n10% Complete…

nThen Sam watched as the process bar filled up and when it finally completed, he heard another Chu-Lom sound;

nMerging System Mainframe & Algorithm…

nMerging Complete…

nDownloading User Life Preferences From Satellite…

nDownload Complete…

nThe moment all these finished, the SUV in front of all of them lit up with azure colored interior lights, and all led lights as the engine started without Sam having to do anything…

nJust the presence and proximity of Sam, or to be more precise, just the proximity of the watch on Sam's wrist was enough to get it started as the door opened Suicide Doors, and three floating slabs steps arranged held together by what seems to be a magnetic field fell off from door trim…

nSam watched everything with a stunned mind and slacked jaws, then he walked up to the SUV and actually had to climb into it, because this SUV was like a medium monster truck due to its height, width and balance…

nWhen Sam entered, he gestured for James to come in and the door actually stayed open, and once James climbed in, he sat across Sam who looked to these three nerds and spoke;

n

"I'll be back… Gotta get to the offsite control center and do some security checkups…

"

nThen the door closed seemingly sensing Sam's intent based on his stance on the seat and sitting posture…

nThe steps stacked over each other before returning to the door trim as both Sam and James once again watch it happen in awe, then the door closed, and an image of Sam's favorite superhero character appeared, clad in his usual superhero outfit, which was basically red with black belts and straps everywhere, including a red mask and some touch of white…

nHe looked ready to be up to no good; this superhero character was none other than Deadpool all rights reserved to its trademark!

nChu-Lom!

n

"Where would you like to go, Sam?

" Orchid asked;

n

"Aeon Consult Secret Offsite Control Facility, please…

"

nSam responded as he watched the SUV move, and they were just about to drive past the three nerds when Sam and James saw that Kiki and Tim were already at it, whilst Jim just walked away with slumped shoulders but determined expression etched on his face...

nHe seemed to be thinking of something to create that would surpass what his brother had just done...

nPerhaps, that was his way of getting over the frustration of not only being single, but also having no girlfriend to share a romantic time with, but as it turns out, little did he know that he wouldn't remain single for too long, not even up to three hours…

n

"Tint the glasses, please.

"

nSam said as the windows of the SUV went pitch black, so black to the extent that, not even the daylight could spill in.

nFurthermore, it was so black that, not only could people outside not see what was inside, even Sam and James who were inside couldn't see what was going on outside, and just as they were about to start worrying over the situation, a projector projected a 2 kilometer radius, 360 degree view of the car and its environment…

nThis projection settled down in front of both Sam and James, as Sam decided to test it out;

n

"Zoom in on projection…

"

nThe moment he said that, the projection zoomed in so clear and accurate, that Sam was able to make out the steams coming out from the subway lids along the sides of the road…

n

"Woah-ho-ho!

"

nJames was ecstatic by what he was seeing as Sam finally relaxed into his seat, followed by his favorite song coming on and playing subtly in the background in a way whereby, he could actually converse with James without shouting and they were both still able to enjoy the music with the top grade, hi tech, surround sound system installed in the SUV...

n

"One can even live within this gem and not even miss out on anything…

"

nSam said with a relaxed tone whilst James added;

n

"I could really get used to this…

"

n

"I've told you brother, we can ride together anytime…

"

nSam replied as he and James bumped fists before they both relaxed and enjoyed the fast but comfy ride, as they truly realized that it truly seemed like the traffic lights didn't exist at all, because they never stopped or slowed down too much, even on sharp turns, as the handling of this SUV as well as its suspension and the grip of its tyres to the road made perfect sure of that…

nA journey that would have taken Sam about at least an hour or two using James's SUV actually took only ten minutes for them, and they were so relaxed to the extent that, when the SUV pulled into the offsite control facility which was more like a secret base, because all they saw at the entrance was;

n'Sukky's Beef'…

nBut when they went around to the back, they saw a little gate with high tech electric fences and guard wielding advanced military grade weapons and armor, as they stopped them, and one of them came to the window area to check on the people within this SUV whose appearance was currently giving the guard the chills…

nHe came to request for their passes, whilst his colleague took a Dog that looked like the hybrid of both an intense K-9 dog, but with the build of a tiger…

nThe dog sniffed the car whilst the man holding it used his other arm to use the UVI mirror to scan the underside of the SUV for anything suspicious…

nSam simply leaned towards the window with his face and the SUV window lowered itself automatically, as the guard with the gun passed something that looked like a POS machine into the car, which Sam took and scanned his watch with it, and the machine beeped before showing a green light...

nThen the Guard, Sam and James watched as some green bars began to light up on the machine, and it continued to light up until it stopped at nine bars, something which stunned the guard to the extent that his heart trembled immensely…

n

"Welcome, Mr. Sam, we have been expecting you…

" The guard said with the curtest salute he could ever muster…

nThen the gates rumbled open by itself, apparently, the POS looking device was connected to whoever was in control of the gate, and after seeing the clearance level of the person within the SUV, Sam and James were allowed entry…

nThe SUV entered and parked at the double-door leading into the control facility itself, and the doors opened, followed by the automatic slabs steps, as Sam and James descended, feeling a little underdress when compared with the car they just stepped out of, as they both made a mental note to dress the part from now henceforth…

nThe two ladies at the entrance of the glass double-door were just able to catch a glimpse of the SUV interior as they opened the door and welcomed Sam and James like a 5 Star VIP visitors…

nThe slab-steps stacked once again and returned to its position, followed by the doors closing and the SUV parking itself perfectly at the indicated parking space a few feet in front…

nThe ladies also saw this and they began to get the butterflies as they readjusted themselves with beaming smiles, and after they began to lead the way, they began to sway their hips enticingly…
