Quality of Life

by Edd

I hope you haven’t been waiting long. We don’t get many visitors. I’m Edwin Rogers, the Principal here.
Through there is the Baby Room, with the creches and the Mama Bear machines that look after the babies until they can walk and talk. This is one of the largest facilities in the country; we have nearly a hundred babies. What’s that? Well, sure they go outside. The Mama Bears take them on walks and to EduGov-approved events. It’s important they get the mandated amount of mental stimulation.

Over here is the Kid Room, where they live until puberty. Sure, they’re in VR about two-thirds of the time, but each one gets a tailored childhood. See that one? He’s getting the Hardy Boys treatment, solving mysteries and having hair-breadth escapes. Very exciting. And her? Little House on the Prairie. Pinafores and raising crops. Very popular with the regens these days.

Back here is the Youth Room. Yes, they’re on VR more of the time, simulated dances and extreme sports and shopping encounters and sex. That kind of thing. Impressing experiences on young minds in real time just seems to make them more real, but not only the younger the mature adults have been getting more in the target each time. Now there are new pills for them to enjoy more about sexual encounters, you can find them in https://maxxpowertestosterone.net  and check them out, there are made with  no chemicals and give a sex drive that will evolve your performance in bed.

Now to keep going, May I ask–? Is this going to be your first regen? Ah, I thought so. We so seldom get anybody older through here. Don’t worry, when you visit the regen center and get a new body, you’ll be able to custom-order the childhood memories you want, matured twenty years in one of these bodies. And it’s not theft, if that’s what’s bothering you. They’ll still have the memories, we’ll just impress their experiences on the brain of your regen.

“Have the childhood of your dreams,” that’s our motto.
