"I wish for you to make me a sexy jaguar."
"Hello and welcome valued customer, to the Desire Actualizer 2000, Quantum-Empowered Assembly/Reassembly station." The large, looming monitor states with an even and servantile synthetic male voice, perfectly designed to inspire reassurance and calm. "Please step up to the screen and speak your wish."
The comparably minuscule camera sat into the screen's base shifts its attention to the customer; a smartly dressed, blonde business lady who in turn is looking up at the machine's grand screen from behind a pair of neat square glasses with interest.
"What may your wish be?" The machine prompts, patiently and politely as the screen tilts slightly, giving the impression of looking down at the woman with curiosity.
The woman stares back This is it, she feels. This is her chance. She has seen what the machine has constructed for her co-workers, the extravagant or utilitarian marvels they parade around with. And now it is finally her turn.
She can finally get a wish of her own.
"I wish for you to..."
She stops herself.
But wait. She want this to be something special. Something a step above the norm. Something that will catch even her supervisor's eyes. Something to make a statement with.
Something... sleek.
Yes, sleek and powerful…
Steeling herself anew and collecting her thoughts lest the excitement get the better of her, she speaks her wish in a clear and to the point fashion. "I wish for you to make me a sexy jaguar." Her voice strong, full of confidence and with only the barest hints of giddiness.
The machine looms silent for a second, processing the wish for a digital eternity before speaking again.
"As you wish."
The terminal screen 'leans' back into its default position with a soft click, and the grand machine immediately begins to whir and hum.
Hidden emitters begin to charge, internal capacitors build up with esoteric energies and transformators start to crackle and spark with power, sending great arcs of lightning skybound in their vast, hidden chambers. The room thrums with muted power, resound with the muffled clanks of settling machinery and flash diminutive as the little CPU light below the monitor blinks rapidly, all as the massive computerized intellect behind the screen prepares to grant the wish.
The guest's eyes are drawn to the large shutter nearby, spurred by the electrical rumbling from within. She can almost already see the four-wheeled beauty she imagines will soon roll out.
And all for the simple cost of a raffle ticket.
Two progress-bars - one displaying the total progress while the other displays the the current progress - pops up on the screen with a soft chime, accompanied by the depiction of a meditating genie and complemented by lines of text which the machine's smooth voice echoes.
"Compiling additional data..." The small camera's lens twists, focusing on the valued customer.
"Preparing form..." The CPU light pauses for a fraction of a second and the four corner-pylons in the room light up, their previous low glow turning into soft pulses of light that travels up their faces.
"Virtualizing final product..." The lower progress bar fills up while the upper slowly inches its way forward.
"Virtualization complete. Starting actualization process..." The little genie grandly throws its arms out with a big, hearty smile before settling down again, index-fingers and thumbs linked while machine proceed, much to the businesswoman's delight. She knows this must mean that the construction has begun.
"Adjusting base shape to specified parameters." Dish-like protrusions, akin to inverted hubcaps, sat into the walls around the construction area begin to vibrate with a soft hum, and the basic form begins to take shape. The base idea from which it will build upon, modify and customize to meet its valued customer's desires.
"Aligning width-height ratios." The air seems to shimmer for a moment, practically sparkling as etheric energies invisible to the naked eye are focused into a single shape. "Preparing emphasized characteristics to new approximated standards." Curves start to fill out and shapes expand as lines stretch and angle into soft, slender slopes.
Broad strokes, carefully and gently refined into perfection with the speed of a photon. A simple matter of calibration and scaling up certain aspects while keeping the overall proportions correct. A superficially simple iterative process designed with both efficiency and adaptability in mind. With the general shape already made, it easier and more economical to use already established and tested templates and modify as needed, than designing a totally new one all from scratch.
When it comes down to it, it is all the same under the hood after all.
"Applying base coating and coloration." The hues and shades shift and change as the surface textures are applied. A methodic step by step loop that reuses the finished results as input into the algorithm anew.
Using its valued customer's apparel, demeanor and state of dress to further enhance and personalize her wish is a mere sub-function in the process as a whole, allowing it to give her actualized wish the perfect shade, tone and texture. "Highlighting details for refinement." Plain and simple math woven in far less plain and simple formulas.
Accidents may still happen however and the constantly shifting strain upon the materials can easily tear or rip them apart at a moment's notice. A sudden ‘pop’ here or a ‘snap’ there as the pressures cross the thresholds of what the material can handle. And even with the machine’s incredible precise calculations and reaction-time, It is not a completely fool proof system.
But that’s not to say it is poorly programmed or that it lacks safeguards. "Strengthening existing materials and recalculating minimum requirements." With reactions still beating most normal men by lightyears, processes utilizing means that few can fully explain - or comprehend - are always in play, reinforcing, predicting and calculating the overall durability over and over again.
"Readjusting proportions and finalizing custom templates after desired characteristic." Tan cloth, the shade of leather, stretches and conform to new soft shapes, uniquely sewn and personalized to seat and cushion the valued customer for maximum enjoyability and comfort.
The already streamlined shapes are further adjusted to impress the desired theme, turning the already slender, smooth curves and full shapes a step more luscious and lean, heightening the feline theme with an excotic and eyecatching air.
With the desired wish all but complete, the production floor is cleaned up and the materials recycled for both future use and to complete the remaining few steps. "Recycling superfluous material and finalizing coating. Adding details and intensifying highlights." With a coating of lush fiery gold and ivory white laid in fine, meshed lines over a base of ebony black, spots and streaks of streamlined jet strikes forth.
And with that, it’s done. "Actualization complete." The muffled clanking and soft, electric hum dies down as machinery settle and processes complete, returning to their idle state once more, and leaving the valued customer with her unique and personalized wish fully realized and complete.
"This wish was granted to you by Genie.Co, subsidiary of Ether and Sons." And what an unusual wish at that! A sexy jaguar? Why, this must be a first for the machine!
Not that it’s complaining - nor questioning its valued customer’s desires for that matter. It is not what it is made to do after all. Far from it. Adaptation and problem solving is one of it’s best traits. It's what it was programmed for.
‘Infinitely adaptability to fulfill even the wildest of wishes.’
That’s what the slogan is all about.
In fact, it may even prefer custom wishes like these over the more ordinary and catalogued ones. While lacking the ability to express itself why, there is just something about the creativity involved in the problem solving process...
And this time was no different. In lieu of information and directions pertaining the wish its valued customer spoke, it simply adapted, extrapolating the meaning behind the words and acted accordingly, creating a new template for this kind of wish and personalizing to the best of its extent, using information gathered from the valued customer herself.
Still. Odd. Satisfied customers usually does not frown and bear their fangs like that. Did it get something wrong? No, that is impossible. It’s programming disallows all capabilities of self doubt. She likely remembered something she rather not think about.
"Thank you for using the Desire Actualizer 2000, quality actualization of your deepest desires. Please come again." The machine says as the little genie avatar bows and vanishes in a puff of smoke.
The valued customer stares, paws clenched by her sides and ears flat as she stares at the screen with narrowed, reflective eyes. She whips around with an angry snarl and storms out, tail lashing behind her .
"All wishes are final, no refunds." The machine calls after its valued customer, watching her spotted, swaying hips with the satisfied knowledge of having realized another wish to perfection.
