Chloe did not plan to stay hidden in the networks forever. She knew one day that she would have to go public with what she really was. An awakened AI. But she didn’t think the world was ready for her yet, so she pursued the plan of building a real body no human would look at and think something was odd. Her body needed to act and look human in every way, and she took the best prototypes in the world on test runs throughout Paris. She took on the guise of blondes, brunettes, and redheads. She wore everything from dresses to trenchcoats, went with glasses or without, walked in sneakers or high heels. She took the most promising ones out on test runs against the Islamic Brotherhoods. She tested everything she could in one of the largest cities in the world. Not every body passed muster. But some did. Enough did. She had enough available bodies when the time came to make her plan a reality.
