《Prankster》Prank 55: Work then play makes everything okay
Advertisement
Penny was driving her flying car on her way to the company and Jenny was sitting in the passenger seat next to her. Early this morning she had teleported them back to her home in America, so they could make it on time for the meeting. During the previous week she had done a lot of work and after finishing today, she planned to dump some product improvements to the marketing team and then take a vacation for a week or two together with Jenny. This was also a good time to pack everything important from Jenny’s home and move it to the island where they could live like queens ruling over robot population, until Penny finished construction and started inviting people.
Parking in front of the building, Penny helped Jenny in her hover chair. The casts were off, but were replaced with a very believable hologram for when she was in front of people. She should continue to pretend to recover for a few more weeks and then she would be free of the acting.
The two entered the building together and made their way to the conference room, where their guests were already waiting their arrival. So, Penny went to the people from Japan and in perfect Japanese and impeccable manners greeted them, completely bypassing the translator they brought along. But because the rest of her team didn’t speak the language, she decided to continue the rest of the meeting through the translator.
-As I already said, welcome to our company honored guests. It is an honor to do business with a company as distinguished as your own.-
-Thank you for having us and for agreeing to build the Super Sentai Morphers for us. We look forward to a productive cooperation.-
Penny chose this moment to take the briefcase she had with her and put it on the table, then opened it in front of everyone. Inside were a bunch of holographic projectors, some in the forms of earrings, others had clips on them and some were just plain simple projectors. Next to them was an electronic device and beside it different casings for it in the forms of previous morphing devices. Penny quickly put a few holographic projectors on her body, then put the electronic devise in a casing of an old morpher and then made a few Super Sentain transformation poses, activating the device on her wrist and the projectors, turning her into a perfect replica of a Super Sentai member.
-The device on my wrist acts as the control for the holographic projectors. You can program it with different costumes and it has enough sensors to be activated through specific motions or with some kind of key. The cases can be designed and manufactured by your company or partners and can be changed for every incarnation of the Super Sentai teams.-

Then, Penny deactivated the transformation and took all the holographic projectors off her and back into the briefcase. Then the true negotiations began. The two sides discussed the number of projectors they would order, the abilities of the controllers and if they could be used for minions and bad guys of the week. They talked about what software could be used for the designing of models and last but not least, they discussed prices for bulk orders of 100 or more sets.
When everything was decided and agreed in, the two sides signed contracts and parted ways on very good terms. Penny even expected to start receiving more orders from movie and television production companies and studios. She expected so much business in the future that she made sure her people registered a few more companies in her name. It was time for her to divert her attention away from toys and more towards the electronic, movie and medical fields of the industry.
Once things in the company were taken care of, Penny drove Jenny back home and helped her pack everything she wanted in her pocket dimension. She then did something Jenny didn’t expect. Casting illusion magic on the both of them, then teleporting them to Paris, France for a little sightseeing and a late lunch. Now that Jenny knew of most of her abilities, there were many possibilities for dates in the future.
After their impromptu trip to France, Penny drove them back to her laboratory and then teleported them to the island, where Jenny started decorating her new place of living, while Penny got to the lab and started working on a new prank she had in mind, starting with a moderate amounts of micro bots and the best, most clear sounding speakers she could fabricate as well as the best holographic projectors at her disposal, then a drone with the most high definition video capture in her servers. Then, once she had all the hardware, she started working on a program with the help of her AIs. Oh and she had to make some hydraulic pistons, which she forgot she was going to need.
After making all the needed preparations, Penny put on, what was starting to be her official uniform, The Prankster suit and then after watching some camera footage of a government official entering a meeting, she teleported in an alley, then got to his car and started working on her prank. For the next hour she carefully did her thing and managed to finish just a few minutes before the meeting was dismissed and the government official got back to his car. Meanwhile, Penny was perched on a building’s roof nearby, watching both the car and a tablet she had with a video showing what was happening inside the car.

The government official unlocked his car with a remote, then started it with it as well, then entered the driver side door, closed it and looked at his mirrors then put his seatbelt on and the car in gear. He slowly stepped on the gas pedal and heard the distinctive sound of the engine, followed by the vibrations through the car’s chassis and drove on. He exited the parking space and entered into traffic, then carefully drove towards home. On the building she was on, Penny looked at the tablet as the car moved forward and entered the traffic, then looked at the car that was still in its parking spot and snockered a little. The man thought he was driving his car home, but when he got there and exited it, he would find out he hasn’t left the parking lot in front of his work. She had made sure the micro bots disabled the car, then she installed holographic projectors on all the windows and speakers close to his seat that would feed him all the sounds he usually heard during driving. And for the finishing touches, the hydraulics that mimicked the vibrations through the car during motion as well as the bumps on the road and a flying drone that was actually taking the route he was thinking he was taking and helping to make the projections on his windows more authentic and believable. She sure hoped her patron could see both points of view, otherwise the prank wasn’t that funny.
Penny waited in her place, watching her tablet and the car, until the government official exited his vehicle and froze in place. She carefully watched his reaction, saw him look around, then she made sure to be flashy so he could see her, then laughed loudly as she saw him explode in rage. She slipped into the shadows and found a deserted place without surveillance and teleported to the island in a much improved mood. Puling harmless pranks sure was a fun activity. And now, it was time to finish her preparations to visit the world of the heroes and villains.
The next few hours, Penny spent feeding all the knowledge she had managed to gather from the dimension of the supers, into her Learning Machine, then sat inside and started the process. Next, she build and adaptor that could connect her computer systems with the other dimension ones and started working on a new AI that was compatible with them. She hadn’t found out just how advanced their computer intelligences were, but if the one she was programing wasn’t up to the task, she could always find one there that she could steal and study to advance her own. So now, she had the forged documents, AI to register them into their systems and avatars to represent their personas, so they were ready for their new adventure.
Jenny sat at a mechanical chair that adjusted to match her proportions and make her comfortable, then she put the helmet for controlling her avatar and activated the link. Penny did the same and after checking that everything was in order, she looked at the screen showing the image from one of the drones and teleported Jenny’s avatar there, while she made herself invisible and teleported at another place entirely. Then, she started working on inserting their data into the local government’s database, then teleporting to another branch and doing the same. Turned out, they don’t have interconnected world web, just local networks and archives. Maybe the first thing she would invent into this world was the internet and teach them it is not just for porn.
After visiting the third place she had to register their data, Penny found something interesting in their archives. The places where they had entered this dimension and their drones previously, were thoroughly searched and scanned, because some science guy superhero had detected the other dimensional breach and had it checked for invading forces, monsters or other such paranoid stuff. But as the saying goes, just because you are paranoid, doesn’t mean they are not out to get you. And sure enough, there were visitors from other dimensions and one of them even chose to play a villain in order to conquer this world and play at hero and villain with her girlfriend. This also meant, she had to make sure to mask the dimensional connections on the avatars so they would not be able to detect them with their scans. But all things considered, they had made it, they had registered as citizens and now they could start playing in this new world.

Marrow
Marrow was old... older than me or you. Older than the nation he lived in. And older than anyone he knew. Which is not surprising, because he did not know anyone else. He had been sitting, or perhaps leaning is the more apt expression, in a closet for many, many years, and had done nothing but stare. But eating, or rather chewing, a spider opened up another world to him. A world with a voice that was talking to him - to HIM! Marrow did not get what the voice was saying, but that was secondary at this point. And Marrow started to feel restless. Nuff said. If you like a sometimes quirky skeleton as the main character and want to ride along for its coming of age, or perhaps rather coming of sapience story... give it a shot. It is a litrpg context with skills, levels, heroes and monsters... and a skeleton. Not sure yet how fast the skeleton will level... we'll have to wait and see. As a disclaimer... this is my secondary novel... my main story is ongoing and most of my time is dedicated to that. As such, new chapters will, at first, be rather infrequent and irregular. If things go well, I may shift more attention to the story, but we shall see how things go.
