Ed’s been spending an awful lot of time down in his workshop... well, more than usual, and he’s been pretty cagey about what he’s working on. Jess is usually pretty mindful of his own business but… he’s been getting very curious. A quick look couldn’t hurt, right?

There was certainly a lot to look at, too! Odd apparatuses, strange devices, and just plain weird gadgets absolutely littered the large workshop. Jess has always known Ed to be downright OCD about keeping everything around him neatly organized, so for a brief moment Jess wondered if was actually Ed’s workshop.

Despite all the interesting and mind boggling tech, Jess couldn’t exactly find anything that jumped out at him. He was about to leave when something caught his eye; a large cylindrical mettle tube on the far side of the room. Upon closer inspection, Jess could see the seems in the tube, and a touch panel number pad in the center, meaning it opened. Jess touched the glass panel and watched as it lit up, asking for an 10 digit passcode.

A 10 digit passcode concocted by one of the greatest minds on the planet sounds like it’d be impossible to guess, but Jess know better. ‘9,999,999,999.’ Because it is literally the greatest ten digit number.

Jess pressed ‘ENTER’ on the panel and waited for the tube to open… but it didn’t, not at first, anyways. Instead of opening the cylindrical tube, the emergency blast doors at the entrance of the workshop slammed shut, sealing him in. ‘Oh shit’ Jessi thought to himself. ‘Is whatever Edward’s working on radioactive? Did I just lock myself in a room with a mini nuke?!’

The tube hissed as the seems slowly parted, releasing the pressurized air within. Jess took a step back as the tube swung up revealing not a nuke but… a… a person? A black furred dragon, to be precise. A very large and very… n-naked… dragon…

Jess’s knees almost buckled. This was worse than any sort of weapon! Ed was keeping an actual breathing person locked in his workshop!! Wait… was he even b-breathing?

Jess wasn’t sure he wanted to know, but took an uneasy tentative step towards the form… then another… and another, until he was standing inches away from the dragon. Now that he was so close, Jess noticed some of the smaller details that he missed in his shock at finding a body, like how the dragon’s fur looked a little… odd. It was shiny. Very shiny. As if it was made of some kind of plastic, or extremely fine metal. Not only that, but there was an odd tattoo on the dragon’s left breast; a Cro-Corp. logo with a… barcode…? and an acronym. A.D.A.M. Hm… A.D.A.M, huh.

Jess took a step back as realization dawned on him. ADAM was what Ed called his personal A.I assistant that he built, and he’s mentioned in passing before that he’s played with the idea of making fully automaton chassis for the A.I. Jessie always thought Edward was just making a joke but… could he really have done it? I-it… looks so real.

Reaching out a hand, Jessie felt the fur of the android. It felt a little strange, not as soft as it looks, and cool to the touch, but if it was just a little warmer, it could definitely pass as real fur. The white underbelly that stretched from under the dragon’s chin all the way down to the end of his tail had a mesh feel, rather than a leathery one. And the dragon’s… ‘equipment’… Jess blushed. It felt a little wrong to be groping the dragon like this, but, it’s not like he’s real, or even powered on right now, so… it’s alright… right…?

Jessi flinched and took a step back. He could have sworn he just felt the dragon’s sheath twitch. N-no, he had to be imagining it. He placed his hand on the dragon’s abdomen and waited, not feeling anything other than the soft meshy surface. Though… it seemed a little warmer this time… and was that tattoo on his breast always glowing?

The dragon’s sheath twitched again (unmistakably this time), only it looked more swollen and something purple and fleshy-looking started to peek through. Jessi took another step back, looking up at the dragon, and seeing that the dragon was looking back at him with glowing indigo eyes.

Jessi gasped and tried to step back, but tripped over a toolbox and landed squarely on his tail. “What’s the matter?” A strange voice asked. It sounded as though there were two voices speaking in tandem; a light smooth voice with quieter, deeper, and almost growly one subtly underneath it. “Why’d you stop?” The dragon asked almost coyly, bringing a large hand around to grope his own large orbs. “I was enjoying the attention.”

The fleshy purple thing between his legs grew, taking a particularly phallic shape as it did. The dragon; ADAM, stepped free of the tube and loomed over Jess. He was absolutely massive! The dragon easily surpassed 7 feet tall, likely much closer to 7 and a half! Jess was never a tall person, but he’s never felt so small!

“I-I-… sorry I-… I m-mean…” Jessi stammered as ADAM stepped over him, giving the fox a clear look at e v e r y t h i n g the android had going for him.

ADAM crouched down, hovering over Jess’s tightening pants and dropping his balls on the fox’s chest. His cock mere inches from the fox’s nose.

Jessi gulped, unable to take his eyes away from that pretty purple flesh.

“Why don’t we pick up where we left off…” ADAM said with a devilish grin.
