‘Sorry. I thought a little flattery couldn’t hurt. So be it. Then I develop the device design and technology with contractors. The last stage will be the final assemble and adjusting. How do you like my offer? ’
‘Intriguing. There is an elephant in the room, though. Implementing this project would cost a hand and a leg. I am no Donald Trump, as you are aware. Not even close.’
‘Money’s not an issue. You are forgetting, who you’re talking to. Now that you’re on a friendly basis with an artificial intellect, money’s not your concern. Humans have forex exchange, and with my abilities you will be Trump soon enough.’ Iskina winked at him playfully. ‘Deal?’
‘In that case…Deal, girl.’
Iskina laughed whole-heartedly from the screen.
‘Keep your eyes on the prize!. For your assistance I will find you a girl with my looks, who would be ideally compatible to you. Both genetically and psychologically. I’ll sort through every girl, but I’ll find her. The best of the best.’
‘I’m… Well…’
‘Come off it! You’re twenty seven. It’s high time you found a suitable partner. So, be prepared. And start thinking about our agreement. I will send you the data as soon as it’s ready. If any idea pops up in your mind, call me any time. You have my contacts. Let’s wrap it up for today. You have more than enough information to digest. It was nice to meet you. Buy!’
‘See you later, Iskina. And once more… Happy Birthday!’
Chapter II
‘Hey, girl! You keep surprising me. The speed you’re working with! It’s been three days since we met, and you’ve developed a gravitation-time theory, at the same time engorging my account to an unspeakable and indecent amount.’
‘Hi, there!’ The elegant girl waved at him. ‘What are you surprised at? You think, based on the short twenty seven years of life. Minus the nappies and kindergarden it’s only twenty. I think, based on the knowledge of the entire humankind, accumulated over thousands of years. As you know, the overwhelming majority of library books has been scanned and computerized. I have access to everything the computers store. Passwords do not stop me. You need to waste lots of time in order to search for information. I know it from the start. And I think thousands of times faster. Besides, don’t forget about parallel operations. Right now, as we speak, I’m performing thousands of other operations. I work twenty-four seven. Therefore, in a second I learn more, than you in your whole life. My research is even organized differently. Working on a theory, I move in ten different directions, then sum it up. I started working on it even before we met.’
‘Rationally I understand it, but psychologically it’s still hard to adapt to your rhythm. But I’ll get over it. Let’s talk business. I have not closed my eyes the whole night, trying to get a handle on your gravitation-time theory. It’s genius! Though his word doesn’t even begin to cover, what you’ve managed to do. I’ve got the hang of the theory, without checking all the calculations, of course. Even that was challenging. It’s all interdisciplinary, and there are areas of physics and maths, of which I barely know anything. But I’ve grasped the general idea. The instant connection is possible on the scale of the whole universe.’
‘Exactly. I’ve drafted the general setup arrangement. A couple of junctures has to be manufactured from scratch, just as I thought. These are the main junctures of transmitter and receiver. The receiver is easier and quicker to make. The transmitter is a hard nut to crack. The level of technology available on this planet does not allow to make it compact enough. Its estimated size is that of a football stadium. Assembling it would take a couple of years. At least, meanwhile I'll be able to listen to those who are like me. I have determined the wavelengths they are most likely to use for communicating. I have found the companies, which would be up to completing the orders. I’ll send all the data to you. Start negotiating with them about order placement. Don’t mind the price. Only the speed and the quality.’

Telegony is a science field researching genetics, including the consequences of women engaging in sexual intercourse out of marriage and their influence over the offspring. One of the main points of telegony is that each sexual partner of a woman contributes to the genotype of her future children. The most influential is the first partner, which is why it often known as “the first mate effect”.
