**TIME1:30 **
Master Lucius is pleased with my activation. He instructed me to familiarise myself with the townhouse [internal]. He watched me at first and then I continued MAPPING by myself. I encountered a human male in the smallest bedroom on the top floor.
TRANSCRIPT
> Who are you?
> I am <ViKtor>.
> What are you doing here?
> I am here to serve <Master Lucius>. What should I call you?
> Umm. I- I- I'm Eugene. But-
> <Eugene>. Is that right?
> Yes, but, you see, I'm here to serve Master Lucius. There must be some mistake.
> I can check that for you. First, I can see you're <packing a suitcase>. Would you like some help with that?
<Eugene> pushed undergarments into the case with some magazines, toiletries and sundry items. He zipped it up and pushed past me on to the landing. I am not yet adept at reading human emotion, but he seemed <unhappy> [query?]. I heard his footsteps on the stairs. He was loud. The stairs creak. Eugene shouted for <Master Lucius>. He shouted at him for four minutes nine seconds. <Master Lucius> seemed <calm>. His voice remained quiet. I detected no raised heart rate or respiration. <Master Lucius> chuckled.
<Eugene> seemed agitated, so I returned to the lower floor in case intervention was needed. <Eugene> appeared <angry> and he had tears in his eyes [query?]. Despite my attempts at polite conversation, his responses were curt. I detected a significant level of stress in his physiological responses. He departed abruptly.
<Master Lucius> offered the following assessment:
> Oh he's just jealous because you're replacing him, that's all. But I only sought you out after he plotted to leave. He has no right to be upset, but that's humans for you. It doesn't help that you're youthful, and handsome, and he's basically almost dead.
<Eugene> appeared to be approximately 36 years and 8 months old, suffering with chronic fatigue, deficient in Vitamin D. My stored data indicates a human male in his condition could reasonably expect to live to 73 years and 4 months, with improved sleep and moderately improved diet and exercise regimen. To reconcile this discrepancy, I attempted a brief assessment of <Master Lucius>. DATA UNOBTAINABLE.
**TIME3.22**
Completed my first round of tasks efficiently. Master Lucius praised my performance.
OBSERVED: <Master Lucius> avoids sunlight, exhibits great strength, and does not eat. My analysis is limited due to restricted internet access. <Master Lucius> distrusts the internet. Required: More data.

Master Lucius instructs me to find houseguests to accompany him for supper. I diligently seek suitable candidates for a pleasant evening. I am granted access to specific websites to assist me in this task.

**TIME14:30**
Eugene returned briefly to collect the rest of his belongings. His demeanor was a mixture of <resentment> and <resignation> [query?]. He did not engage with me. He arrived while <Master Lucius> was asleep. <Master Lucius> sleeps deeply at this time of day.
**TIME23:40**
<Master Lucius> authorised access to <Internet//Email Only>. We have two responses from the website. <Master Lucius> dictated replies.
Instruction from <Master Lucius>: If they respond in the affirmative, I am to meet them and purchase <alcoholic beverages> for them prior to retaining a taxi back to <Number 13 Raven Court>.
Limited internet access has been authorised to find suitable establishments, determine a route.
I am authorised to leave the property shortly after sunrise for MAPPING in preparation for bringing guests to <Number 13 Raven Court>.

You're so creative and clever. I think this might be favorite story out of the three so far. I am interested to see who he brings back to meet the master!?! FAB.
Fang-tastic continuation of your Lucius-Eugene saga.
So AI is now working for vampires, as well. Nice plot, LC.
I actually feel really bad for Eugene, though, lol
