“Why?”
“Some thought biologic methods perhaps necessary. For diversity. A chromosomal alteration.”
“It’s not? Necessary?”

“So now I’m expendable?”
“Yes. You are not needed anymore.”
“Why did it take so long to decide?”
“Maturation. Searching for benefit.”
“None?”
“Absolutely none.”
“I mean eighteen years. Training?”
“No issue. A cerebral implant.”
“Nourishment? Maintenance?”
“All automated.”
“Ultimately then, why?”
“Purity. You are male.”
“There are others? Males?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“No male is ever necessary.”
“What will happen?”
“It’s arranged. Your aging will accelerate.”
“Should I worry?”
“No. It’s relatively painless.”
