After breakfast, Dan and I continue doubling our servers. Debbie and I discuss processor, disk, and network upgrades for faster speed. In the background, I was still doing school. Working closely with Dan allowed plenty of kisses and teasing touches. I really wished the touches went further. But, his stiff member never had a chance of going soft, so I think I had the better deal.

Eventually, the service panel got filled with breakers, so I made a second one. That required a whole slew of additional changes to hook it up to the backup generator, batteries, and power grid. Fortunately, Dan had designed the system for this eventuality, so we did not need to contact outside companies to upgrade things. However, we ignored getting permits and inspections by the town for all the electrical work we were doing. Instead, the completed records for the original work got updated to show the newly completed job as if it got done years ago. This little cheat did not really matter as everything we did was beyond the current requirements of the law, so the inspector would find nothing to stop us for. Since it takes days to get the permit and inspections done, we saved a lot of time we did not possess to waste. An additional consideration was the fact the original people signing the permit had retired, so the likelihood of the updates being noticed was slim.

By lunch, we were done, but I knew we had plenty of future improvements to perform. The same delay to the moon or asteroids happens over the length of the cables connecting all the computers and we just doubled it. Debbie wanted us to revamp her network completely using the new IC capability.

We joined the others for lunch another make your own sandwich day. I wished it were dinner so I could relax with cuddle time. It was hard sitting with a table between us. However, the others would likely be uncomfortable with us being all over each other like this morning's activities.

After lunch, Dan and I started changing the network. I made a plug to Debbie’s design to replace the Ethernet cable at each end and then connect the wormhole between them. Dan learned how to make the part and wormhole so he could join me replacing cables. Since the network was redundant, we could break one connection and the traffic would use the other. We continued teasing each other, going further than I liked in after thought. Debbie’s cameras seeing body parts normally hidden being kissed or sucked on. I wanted him to take me on the cement floor so you know I could not care what anybody saw. Afterwards, I was very self-conscious and regretted being naked in front of her.

By two we are done, so head out to play tag. I transport everyone to the tracker on the biggest rock standing just above its surface. “Elaine, take the lead.” She pops near Tom and Debbie starts the countdown. We chase her. I hold back and watch it play out. I get involved when someone can not get tagged. Both Dan and I fed video to Debbie, who would combine them into a single live action recording. She also used our feeds to verify out of bounds and relative motionless to the cube.

It was fun watching rocks be used to get away from the pack or people misjudge the air jets to slam into rocks. I loved watching the rocks be used to switch directions. Every so often, a smaller rock split on impact and would head off in two directions. These had a nasty tendency to sneak up on people from behind, given everyone headed in the same direction. About an hour into it, they got the hang of it, so rocks got touched intentionally only. I only got to be a leader a few times, as my ten-minute limit for a leader did not happen often.

Once no leader could keep it for a minute and everyone was equal in their performance, I tagged myself in and played for real. I covered the entire cube in the last 30 minutes with only a few close moments near the corners. I am sure they thought I had some secret thing they did not. But, truthfully, I was just seeing the path with the highest odds of escape and full on jets to get me there. Aiming my jets at people to slow them down, while boosting the effect the jets had on me, certainly helped.
