Chereads / Michael and The Four Queens / Chapter 44 - Chapter 43 Athena

Chapter 44 - Chapter 43 Athena

Michael awoke in a strange place, he was lying on some sort of seat with more of the same seats all around him, there was half empty glasses on champagne and other drinks.

Some small screens that could be TVs.

Glass tinted windows that looked out onto some sort on underground concrete jungle.

Also the smell of ladies perfume hung in the air tho barely noticeable as if some time had passed since the ladies where here.

As his brain started to increase in speed hi figured out his location.

The limo.

(I guess they let me sleep here after I fell asleep) Michael thought

He stretched as much as he was able to before opening the limo door and climbing out.

There he did some light stretches or as much as he could since he was still in his suit before looking around.

He was not sure what to do, how was he supposed to access the elevator since you seemed to need to control it from your mobile before the saying the password in the elevator itself.

Since he could not access the elevator and he was hungry he decided he should go find breakfast somewhere.

The girls all had his number by now so one of them would call or text him when they woke up…he hoped.

This would not be the first time he was stood up by a girl.

He pulled out his phone to check the time where he saw a text from Alexia.

Alexia: Hi Mike I am sending this before I go to sleep in case I am not awake when you wake up, if that's the case good morning ;)

Alexia: Ok serious message time your voice has been registered for the elevator but because you have not installed the app yet you will need to use the secret back up way. Stand in front on the elevator doors and find what looks like a flightless bird in the middle of all the flying birds, press your hand against it and say Sarah Jane. This message will self destruct in 5…4…3…2…1…. No seriously delete this message for security reasons kisses xx

Michael read and reread the message a few time to memorize it before he deleted it and then he walked towards the elevator doors.

(Sarah Jane really? Is this because of Sarah and Jane or another Spider-Man reference as that's two in a couple of hours, maybe it's both)

He examined the door and after a few minutes searching he found the image of what looked to be a flightless bird.

Pressing his palm against it he said "Sarah Jane"

"Backup password recognized"

"Scanning hand-print standby"

"Hand-print verified"

"Welcome home Michael"

The door opened and Michael stood there shocked as he thought out loud "how does it know my name." before stepping inside the elevator with the door closing behind him.

"Alexia programmed me to recognize you at approx 02:47 hours" the voice replied

"You can answer back to anything" Michael curiously asked.

"Not anything but a lot of things." The voice replied.

"Then why don't you answer the girls back more often" Michael questioned.

"My analyzing sub routine has determined that they would not be interested in talking to an artificial intelligence like myself"

"And yet you're talking to me?" Michael questioned

"Did you not just answer your own question there Michael?" The AI responded and Michael could swear he heard the AI smirk.

"So what do I call you?" Michael asked.

"My designation is Security Artificial Intelligence Alpha Three Hotel Echo Nine Alpha." The voice replied.

"So Athena?" Michael asked

The voice was silent for a few seconds before replying "Athena is acceptable"

"Updating all programming with the new title Athena"

"Registering primary user as Michael Vandal"

"Resetting access level of all other registered users."

"Increasing access level of Michael Vandal to Level Infinate"

"Registration of new title Athena complete."

"Control password changed from Alexia to Athena."

"Err why did you just increase my access to max?" Michael questioned.

"As my name giver I recognize you as my true owner and operator and so grant you full access to me."

"I see well Athena nice to meet you and thank you."

"You're most welcome Michael and thank you for giving me a name. Please state the password to activate elevator."

"Alexia" Michael said

"Incorrect password"

"Since you have complete access security will not be notified."

"Please use state the password to activator elevator."

(The password changed? When and why, Alexia did not warn me about a password change.)

Michael started to think when the password changed before he remembered the command changes Athena stated when he gave her a name.

"Athena" Michael said

"Voice recognition accepted"

The elevator began to move up.

"Penthouse" have a nice day Michael."

"You too Athena and thanks again."

The doors opened and Michael steeped out.

As Michael enters the penthouse the first thing he saw was the shoes and dresses the girls wore last night thrown on the floor.
