Dyson Robotics - A response from RX

[dysonrobotics]

Hello Everyone

Well, I must admit, it feels rather strange actually to sit down and make a small contribution to this great forum. Let me begin by saying that, to a large extent, I have been prompted into action by Petey's recent story. Although, I don't want to give the impression that that is the only reason.

For many, many years now I have cultivated a very specific interest in female android robotics. This began quite some time before the web came along, and I'm sure like so many fellow travelers here, I was astounded to discover the existence of ASFR on the internet. I recall that others here have commented, "wow, I thought it was just me!" Indeed, I thought just that, but very quickly realized that a (surprising) number of people shared a passion for the possibilities that might lie in a world in which life as a machine would be something that a woman would come to know of, be curious about, and, eventually deeply desire.

Very early on in the journey online, I was fortunate enough to meet and interact with Kishin. Whilst we've not managed to maintain that, I'm sure he knows how much I value those early exchanges of ideas and indeed, his excellent images. Shortly after, I began to interact with my very good friend Roger Korby - a collaboration which continues to this day.

Many years ago, I set out to document - in the form of a short story - my "vision" of female android robotics. That story, The Makeover, I hope, offered a window into just one person's concept of why and how life as a machine might be attractive to a busy woman. Although it's been well over ten years ago, I think I can say that the essence of my "Dyson" world still remains as portrayed in the story. It is a matter of some regret to me that I have never seemed to find the right moment to return to the keyboard and write a decent follow-up. I have, however, greatly enjoyed the opportunity to work with Korby, someone who I am privileged say, has helped to cultivate and develop the Dyson concept and brand much further.

I mentioned Petey's story above, and by making the points below, I am in no way demeaning his efforts. Nor am I so arrogant to imagine that no-one else may reference the Dyson Institute.

For me, the ideal and the day to day reality, in fact, has always, always, been to provide an environment in which women, young and old, "beautiful" and "plain", would deeply desire to become androids. At Dyson, we strive to ensure that becoming a machine is something that a woman does utterly of her own free will, having been free to observe an honest and detailed display of what is involved, the limitations, as well as the benefits. Dr Elaine Dyson, having devoted her career to improving the existence of her fellow woman, has as her personal credo, the inviolate principal that a lady becomes a unit, a machine, because she - the lady - deeply wants and desires it.

Of course, Dyson manufacture a significant number of 'from scratch' units, mostly aimed at the sex industry, service and commercial sectors. This is a lucrative enterprise, and there is a great, symbiotic relationship (technical transfer, funding, etc) between that business and the business of building new bodies for woman who want and long for a fresh start, or change, or other major improvement in their lives.

From the outset of my online life, I have always wanted to ensure that my Dyson world is appealing to the ladies out there in the ASFR community. I hope this comes across as sincere, because it most certainly is. To me, nothing is more rewarding than being contacted by a lady from the community to discuss life at (or after!) Dyson. It's all about showing her what it's like to become a compact block of electronics packed into a performance-sculpted polysilicone casing. A machine, for sure, but also a woman, with her full essence transferred across to the new body. No matter how often it happens, I always adore the moment of taking the candidate into the assembly chamber, where she can see at first hand the various components of the new her.

In truth, Dyson is all about you ladies out there. The tired mom, the weary worker, the nervous 19 year old student, the 45 year old teacher... all of you, welcome at Dyson. Welcome to freely decide if it's right for you to join us, to become a female android. Free, free to be maintained and services to the highest standards possible, but, free to suffer the occasional malfunction or technical challenge.

On a number of occasions on the forum I have seen stories (and I exclude Roger's for the reasons set out above) which reference Dyson in various ways, but depart, sometimes quite radically from the original vision. Now, let no-one feel in the slightest way inhibited or criticized. But... for those out there that want to explore the Dyson Institute that reflects the vision set out above, I would be thrilled if you would honor me with your emails, messages, etc.

Nothing has changed, at Dyson, we're ready to build the new you. If, and only if, it's what you want and it's what is right for you.

Regards to you all

I'm confused, this sounds like a press release from the Dyson Institute

I can't tell if this a real world response to some of the fictional Dyson stories or a real response from the fictional Dyson institute designed to refute the 'unfounded" internet rumours of dissatisfied customers

Hey thanx for talking about your original vision. I always liked the Dyson univers and sometimes when you diviate a little you get BIG reactions has in the Peteys story. But I still want thank everyone. Including Korby, Petey and You for such great ideas and such great fiction. I only wish i could write half has good, but i never been good at putting ideas to paper.

I also don't mean to disrespect RX, but I'll offer up my interpretation: for those of you who wondered if my story was 'canonical', it isn't. I thought that other issues might encourage Elaine to bend some of her own personal rules, but I bent them further than I should have.

I think I mentioned in part one that I tossed a lot of ideas back and forth with Korby about what is and isn't consistent with the Dyson universe. I'd like to think a lot of what is included stays consistent with the universe.

Kishin - thank you for your kind words, they are truly appreciated.
I'd like to reiterate that in no way do I wish to undermine or criticize anyone making a contribution to this forum. In fact, as so infrequent a contributor I have no right to do so!

How was that disrespectful?

How was that disrespectful?

I honestly couldn't tell if that was OOC or or not. Seemed a mix of both.

Hiya RX--nice to see you put in an appearance.

I thought I'd mention, in passing, that one of the many aspects that always appealed to me about Dyson was very much what you outline above: that it strives to present a welcoming, comfortable environment for those women who truly desire to become machines. Something about that has always appealed to me very much.

I for my part certainly mean to continue to make what meager contributions I can to the Dyson world. I have some story fragments in various stages of progress, some of which might certainly see the light of day sometime in the foreseeable future. And there's always the visual end of things... as it happens, I was trolling for pics and came up with a nice haul the other night, so I'll be working on those as well.

(And no small proportion of those images feature Dr. Dyson herself--one of my perennial favorites, of course).
