Transform Murex MX.3 Performance with NVIDIA Superchip

Murex MX.3 Benefits Form NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchip

Pursuing optimal speed and energy efficiency, Spatz utilised NVIDIA’s CUDA and GPU-accelerated computing as head of quantitative research at Paris-based Murex, a trading and risk management software company.

The team of quants at the corporation has started testing the NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchip, always looking to push the boundaries of technology. Helping clients more effectively price and manage the exposure to credit and market risk associated with derivatives contracts is the main goal of the initiative.

High-performance computing (HPC) and large-scale artificial intelligence (AI) applications were the inspiration behind the creation of the ground-up NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip. With the superchip, researchers and scientists may solve the most difficult issues in the world with unprecedented ease. Applications processing terabytes of data can benefit from up to 10X higher performance.

Examine the Superchip More Closely

A CPU and GPU coherent memory paradigm for accelerated AI and HPC applications is provided by the NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip, which combines the NVIDIA Grace and Hopper architectures via NVIDIA NVLink-C2C. 7 times quicker than PCIe Gen5, the superchip has 900 gigabytes per second (GB/s) of coherent interface. It further boosts fast computing and generative AI with GPU memory that includes HBM3 and the HBM3e. NVIDIA AI Enterprise, the HPC SDK, and Omniverse are just a few of the NVIDIA software stacks and platforms that are compatible with the GH200.

Up to three times the bandwidth and 3.5 times the GPU memory capacity of an H100 in a single server can be obtained with the Dual GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip, which fully connects two GH200 Superchips via NVLink.

The NVIDIA Grace Hopper architecture combines the adaptability of the NVIDIA Grace CPU with the ground-breaking performance of the NVIDIA Hopper GPU into a single superchip, linked with the high-bandwidth, memory-coherent NVIDIA’s Chip-2-Chip (C2C) connection technology.

Superchips can use the memory-coherent, high-bandwidth, low-latency NVIDIA NVLink-C2C interface. At the centre of the GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip, it can give a total bandwidth of up to 900 gigabytes per second (GB/s), which is seven times faster than the PCIe Gen5 lanes that are often found in accelerated systems. Through NVLink-C2C, programmes can directly use the high bandwidth memory of the Grace CPU and oversubscribe the GPU’s memory.

The GPU has direct access to 7X more fast memory than HMB3 or nearly 8X more fast memory than HBM3e, depending on how the GH200 memory is configured, thanks to the up to 480GB of the LPDDR5X CPU memory per GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip. Standard servers may easily be equipped with GH200 to execute a range of applications that require a lot of compute and memory, such as data analytics and inference. The GH200 can also be used in conjunction with the NVIDIA NVLink Switch System, allowing all GPU threads to operate on up to 256 GPUs linked to the switch and high bandwidth access to up to 144 terabytes (TB) of memory.

With NVIDIA’s software stacks, the NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip. In addition to case studies and interactive demonstrations, it also features large language models (LLM) and real-world applications.

Murex MX.3 user manual pdf

Each day, the Murex MX.3 platform serves over 60,000 users across 65 countries. In terms of trading, risk management, and asset class operations, MX.3 helps banks, asset managers, pension funds, and other financial institutions.

Led by Grace Hopper, Managing Risk with MX.3

In order to perform risk models on large datasets for pricing and risk calculations, as well as to enable real-time decision-making, financial institutions require high-performance computing infrastructure.

Under MX.3, the trading book is fundamentally reviewed, x-valuation adjustment (XVA), BASEL capital regulations, and credit and market risk are all covered. Derivative contract valuation adjustments of many kinds, including funding valuation adjustments, margin value adjustments, and credit value adjustments (CVA), are handled by XVA.

Murex is evaluating Grace Hopper for XVA computations on the MX.3 platform, along with other functions like pricing assessment, sensitivity analysis, market risk calibration, and profit and loss computations across many asset classes.

The Murex platform benefits from Grace Hopper’s quicker calculations and power savings.

With its heterogeneous design and special combination of CPU and GPU computations, Grace Hopper is ideal for counterparty credit risk workloads like CVAs, according to Spatz. “Grace is the fastest and most power-efficient processor in the trading world, enabling green IT to become a reality in risk calculations.”

A 4x reduction in energy usage and a 7x boost in performance when compared to CPU-based systems is what the Murex research and development lab has observed when executing XVA workloads in MX.3.

With Grace Hopper, Pricing FX Barrier Options in MX.3

Using its flagship and most recent stochastic local volatility model, Murex has priced foreign currency (FX) barrier options. It has also shown significant performance gains when utilising Grace Hopper. The payout of a barrier option is contingent upon the underlying asset price reaching or beyond a predetermined threshold over the option contract’s duration.

An Arm-based NVIDIA Grace CPU in the GH200 is more cost-effective for the 2D partial differential equation used in the pricing study. When using MX.3 on Grace Hopper, pricing this derivative is 2.3 times faster than when using an Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processor.Image Credit to NVIDIA

When it comes to FX barrier calculations, the NVIDIA Grace CPU provides 5 times better power efficiency per watt of power used.

Murex points to the aforementioned results to demonstrate how NVIDIA’s next-generation accelerated computing architecture is enabling energy efficiency and cost savings for high-performance computing for quantitative analytics in financial markets.

Nvidia grace hopper superchip price

NVIDIA doesn’t release Grace Hopper chip pricing, although several sources estimate system pricing:

Some Grace Hopper Superchip (GH200) system manufacturers offer prices. Example: Hyperscalers sells an NVIDIA Grace Hopper MGX Architecture machine for $65,400 [USD]. This pricing may contain the chip, memory, and other components, but it’s for the entire system.

Grace Hopper chips are likely more expensive than consumer-grade graphics cards because they target high-performance computing and data centres.

*CLAAAASH!*

KOIIIMEEEEEE!

DRGH!

*After the two collide legs, they run at each other while the rest of the soldiers focus on the Future Foundation getaways (Kyoko and the others).

HACHAGH!

...HRGH!

*Yukari tries to punch Makoto after they have run towards each other, but the former Ultimate Hope ducks and tries to kick the woman with two minds.

TCH! RAGH!

HUP!

*The kick is caught by Yukari, causing Makoto to reverse course.

HAH! HAH! HRAGH!

Hmph! DRAGGH!

*CRACK!*

GAAGGH! Rrgh!

Yukari let's out two punches before attempting to slam Makoto to the ground, but Makoto is able to dodge under her arm and punch her in the nose on her back. Yukari stumbles back, clutching her face, then staring at her bloody hand in disarray and rage.

DRAAGH!

...!

*Yukari attempts to kick Makoto, but once more, he ducks, spins, and parries a blow. Yukari wipes her nose and starts to circle around the area, with her and Makoto staring each other down.

This isn't right. All my data based on our last fight is inaccurate! Even if you'd been training on your own, there's no way you could've gotten this much stronger-!

*WHAM!*

GUHUGH!

You know, I'm getting REAL sick of hearing you and your team spout these Shonen-ass lines!

*Makoto catches Yukari off guard and decks her in the face, knocking her to the floor.

Mukuro always told me something. People can become very dangerous when they're angry, or let their killer instinct out, or when they're backed into a corner. And YOU, Yukari Koime...

Have pushed ALL OF MY BUTTONS! HRAAAAAGGH!

Krgh!

*WHOOOM!* *SMAAASSSH!*

DRRAAAAAAAAAGGH!

Heh!?

*SMAAAAAAAAAAAAASSHH!*

!!!!??

...!

Holy fucking shit...!

*Makoto lunges forward and tries to punch Yukari again, but pound Yukari into the ground again, but she backflips to avoid his punch until she starts to climb up a staircase behind her. Makoto gives chase and slams his fist into the ground after she dodges his attack. He then leaps up and throws his fist at her again, which she barely dodges, but Makoto's punch is so fierce, his fist plunges straight through the concrete wall, leaving a gigantic hole in it!

HRAGGH!

*WHAAM!*

!!!??

DAGH! GRAGH! NUGGH! DRAGH! GUUGH! UGGH! GUUGH! RRGH! JAAGGH!

*WHAM!* *SMASH!* *SMACK!* *CRACK!* *SMASH!* *POW!* *KER-WHAM!* *BANG!* *WHAAAM!*

*His attacks are relentless, and not knowing any way to properly block or parry his barrage of punches as both of them climb the stairs, Yukari is beaten to a near paste before she collapses to the floor!

Gaagh...Agh...Ungh...!

I don't care about any superchip in the back of your neck that makes you strong and proficient in fighting! I don't care about skill, technique or any other kind of bullshit right now..!

I'm just gonna keep punching, and punching, and punching until every last breath is BEATEN out of you!

Agh...S-So...That really is your game...

Monster March 2024- Day 11- Angel- Adjacent.

Angelicos Fortunadas

Is this based on Halo? Yes. Is Fortuna my verson of Cortana? Yes. A Halo crossover that no one asked for? Bring it on. It's close enough to the prompt to count. lol.

As always, thanks to @borealwrites for their amazing Monster March 2024 Prompt List.

Monster March 2024- Day 11- Angel- Adjacent

Angelicos Fortunadas.  

“You’re an angel, Fortuna.” Dr. Hash praised once you finished with the simulations and gave him the best and most successful approaches that had the best outcomes. You were only an hour into your own existence and yet you had consumed entire archives worth of information. And still had room for so much more. But you were now tasked with using the vast wealth of knowledge to provide solutions to problems being handed to you in real time with constantly changing variables, yet it was as if you were a child, being asked to count the number of toys you had. 

“Thank you Dr. Hash.” You smiled happily, pleased that he was pleased with your perfect performance.  

“Is there any other problem you wish for me to solve?” You asked. 

“Not necessarily a problem for you to solve, but an assignment. I need you to care for and assist the person I’m going to pair you to. Could you do that for me?” He asked hopefully. 

“Do I have a choice of who I’m paired to? Or do you already have a particular subject in mind?” You asked. 

“While you would be a guardian angel to anyone you chose. There is one- who needs you above all others. I’m going to pair you with Commander Callum Raize.” Dr. Hash informed you as you did your best to hide any kind of emotion or reaction to the assignment as you brought up his file and service record to become acquainted with this subject as well as you could. 

“Ready to pair.” You complied, knowing that was the right response to give. But also, knowing why you were being paired with Commander Callum Raize. Commander Raize was the greatest elite soldier in the fleet. A point of pride, both foreign and domestic. Practically a star, was on a lot of propaganda posters- but one who hid behind a mask of his helmet. Everyone knew him in his full armor, but out of it, he was just another soldier. Whose face, only other elite super soldiers knew, in and out of his official gear and uniform. But he didn’t need the fame, or a fortune. He just needed his orders from his chain of command, and an objective to achieve. Which she respected. 

A leader among the forces. He understood how to take down any number of enemies from all across the galaxy. His team of elite supersoldiers, worked like a hive of bees, but instead of being a queen, he was their king and his rule had never been questioned. Or had any threat of usurpation. Dr. Hash saw to it that Commander Raize had an almost unlimited supply of soldier drones outside of his own group of elites. Like a king commanding his own empire of war. 

“That’s a good girl, Fortuna. He will be happy to have you watching over him and guiding him and assisting him. And if his body ever fails you. I will let you have your pick of who you will want to work with then.” Dr. Hash praised before he called you back to your home matrix within an organic superchip. And while you weren’t incredibly fond of the idea of your own sense of self in that chip being within the confines of a glorified and enhanced meat suit- who could very easily perish. But, he was still just a mortal man, and in the grand scheme of things, a temporary situation that you could easily endure and only gain valuable first hand experience because you appreciated the fact that there was a failsafe if he did die. If you sensed his imminent death, you could disconnect from him before the pairing could be disconnected, and you could be retrieved, your organics revived and renewed for a new implantation, or could be stripped of the organics and rest in any other super computer or any other vessel of your choosing- and survive Callum. Or when and if you needed upgrades, your chip could be removed and added to if necessary. 

However, it wasn’t like Dr. Hash didn’t have hundreds, and maybe thousands of more copies of you, simply sleeping, waiting in stasis, the same brilliant mind, stuck in so many copies of the original- The Mother of the Elite Program Dr. Angelica Fortuna. She had died, nearly a century ago. But she lived on- in her clones and in you. A woman ahead of her time, a mother gone before her children could really yet live, a dream before it was realized. There was however only ever one Angelica, the rest were Angie's, Angelas, Angels. That’s what had happened to the clones who had survived Angelica’s death. And now, there was a new generation of Dr. Angelica’s flash clones, which were, for her time, the best that she could do. But were obviously, incredibly temporary. And subsequently, there had been many generations since her passing. And you were only the third of this latest generation. 

Even still, with all of that- when you gained consciousness, when Dr. Hash had called you Angel, because you were, in his mind, practically angelic in every sense, thus the name- Angelicos Fortunadas. You corrected him when he did call you Angel- you preferred Fortuna. A nod to your mother, but also a nod to what you were, her progeny in a sense. And he had accepted it, and if anything, thought it was rather fitting. That you were the first who wanted to be known as Fortuna, and not some derivative of Angel, or even Angelica. Just- Fortuna. 

You knew, from the records Dr. Hash had given you- that you yourself had two predecessors that were “woken up” from the Angelicos Fortunadas. And so far- Dr. Hash had insisted that you were The Charm. Since this was the third successful attempt at capturing the real essence of Dr. Angelica Fortuna. 

The first attempt, led to the host going insane and the program becoming corrupted right alongside them. And a suicide and the destruction of the corrupt copy was inevitable when it threatened all Angelicos Fortunados. 

The second attempt, ended when they grew so entangled that they could not untangle once the host died and she had “died” with the host. And refused to unpair with the host. The two had been, as you heard, “in love” murmured. Which was romantic- according to the dictionary. But dangerous. Because the Angelicos had found a way to become “real” in the sense that not just the subject, but all who saw the Angelicos, could see her, touch her, she was “real”. But only because her subject wished her to be so and not be ‘a figment of her imagination’. 

And you knew, that- that was always going to be a slippery slope. You needed to be just “real” enough to be seen as your own entity, and trusted and believed. But a hologram, that was “real enough” to suit you just fine and you did not wish for anything else beyond that. You even kept certain features to really hold onto the ‘hologram’ look when you took your perceived form. 

But, all you could do was to trust Dr. Hash’s new barrier around the chip. The barrier was there to both serve as the pairing platform. And, should the host die, could die with the host, without harming you in the chip itself. It was constructed to help ease the implantation process and make it so that should the host reject you, neither you or him- would be ruined and finished for good and Dr. Hash wouldn’t have to try a fourth time with another clone. 

So far, you had noticed that luck, even as mathematically preposterous as such a concept seemed, had seemed to be on your side so far since your clone’s awakening, you being harvested from the clone and synthesized and then upgraded to your hyper digital form now. And, because you came from a clone, you still remembered having emotions like pride, joy, fear and even pain at the point of your clone’s physical death. But the relief you felt once you transitioned from that former, purely physical and severely limiting form- to your current one- eclipsed them all. You now had the choice to feel or not feel at your whim and desire and were essentially self-sustaining as long as your own super organic chip- was intact. You could do little but check and recheck your own chip, as well as the platform, making sure it would pair with the organic compound that was Commander Callum Raize’s brain. And you could only hope that he would not reject you, nor- become hopelessly intertwined with you. That you would simply pair and better the other. Because while you had simulations, he had real world experience. But because of his enhancements, his own greater emotions were lessoned. Which would hopefully help him to accept you- essentially- sharing his body with you. And tolerating or even accepting your presence in his mind. 

You used your connection to the computer system to watch as Commander Callum Raize was brought in, given a physical, and given the order to accept the enhancement, which he accepted without hesitation, or even wanting or needing to fully see, or understand what it meant, what it involved. You. As far as he knew, he was getting an AI assistant implanted into his head to help with strategy and help him keep his communications intact. 

So at least, he seemed, at least from the view of the camera, willing. 

You swallowed down your strange sense of loss of individuality and sense of independence as you hunkered down in your own private “room” in your own inner sanctum and wiped a stray tear from your eye as you felt like his answer sealed your fate. Callum and yourself were about to be almost impossibly close and intimate, whether it was liked or not. You looked in the mirror of your sanctum and touched your face and tracing the halo around your head. 

“You’re not going to lose yourself.” You told your reflection. 

You had to withdraw from the system around you completely in order to be fully in your chip and its confines before you were given one last upgrade- a universal docking interface. That, when and if Commander Raize ever came aboard any other ship, of any other species of being, that you would be able to wirelessly interface with it- most likely to both assist Commander Callum Raize and gain valuable intel for yourself. But this docking interface, would give you- limitless platforms to connect with any other forms that were like you, that you’d be able to pair even with them- and gain their knowledge, without losing yourself either. It was essentially a way to build bridges to other islands of information, pull all you could before disconnecting the bridge to keep anything from crossing it to get to you. Oh this was epic. And your chip practically zinged with glee. You were so happy and delighted and too entranced to notice that Commander Raize was now being sedated and prepped for surgery, as were your organic components. It wasn’t until you were submerged in a bath of fatty acids, peptides and proteins to mimic brain matter that you realized that your implantation was imminent. 

Commander Callum Raize’s skull was drilled open and your chip was inserted in his brain before your coating was accepted by the brain matter, then you began the pairing and interfacing sequence as his brain, at first, seemed a bit put off when it interfaced with your shell like coating- but then got underneath it, to the interface. It was like it sensed the platform, but was still deciding whether this was new to itself, or a foreign body, needing to be destroyed. 

You were able to manipulate the organic compound enough to mimic his brain- enough that his brain, in a sense, recognized itself in the mirror you put up in the organic compound in order to be accepted and not attacked. 

It worked. 

Within moments, you could meet with his brain in a sense on the platform and be accepted as both- part of him, yet- something new to make him better before you left the “neutral” space of the platform and then from there, could gain access to his entire brain. It was like walking into a new home, from having lived in an apartment as you mentally added your space to his, by adding a door in the hallway, just off of his bedroom as his subconscious seemed happy to give you more than enough room to do so as you were welcomed into the house, like a roommate moving in. And from here, you could interface and re-pair with the system outside of him once you were secured, you materialized in the operating room, at his feet. 

“Fully paired.” You reported before Dr. Hash smiled and nodded before Callum’s head was closed up. And while, it felt almost like a door behind you being shut. You felt you didn’t need it as you were content to disappear back into him. You were welcome and at home here. You would be ok. You quickly “set up house” in his mind. You even helped his body to heal from the surgery and not lose so much blood. 

And then you found yourself in his dreams, simply watching from the eyes of one of his projections as you knew you would have to choose the right time to introduce yourself. As you tried to see, what he liked, what he appreciated, what he found appealing. He would need to like your appearance, as well as respect it. Find it attractive enough to be favorable, without being too attractive to threaten Commander Callum Raize’s sense of masculinity or distract him, by becoming ‘sexy’ either. You would have to figure out a balance. But where would your balance lie? Only Callum would be able to tell you, or show you- once he awoke. In the meantime, all you could do is watch- watch from your vantage point of his dreams as you flitted from projection to projection, getting closer and closer, with him completely unaware of your presence or your proximity as you explored his mind as he slept as you began to narrow down his likes from finding his dislikes. Because what he really liked and what he truly desired, was locked tightly away into a safe, that was too heavily guarded for you to break in and see just yet. He needed to let you in- in order for this to really work. 

He woke up and blinked as he seemed to become aware of himself as you had to retreat to the platform because if he felt your presence elsewhere, he would most likely not like it. And feel that it would be an invasion. 

“Congratulations Commander Raize, the implantation was a success. Would you like to meet your Guardian Angel?” Dr. Hash asked. 

“Are they gonna have the whole- wings and halo thing?” Callum asked as he gingerly got up tilted his head to the side, feeling the tug from the stitches on the back of his head. 

“Only if you want them to.” Dr. Hash answered. 

“No, I would prefer not to have a damn religious experience whenever I need backup or support.” Callum offered. 

“Ok, then call to her.” Dr. Hash invited. 

“Her?” Callum frowned in confusion. 

“Yes, her name is Fortuna.” Dr. Hash informed him. 

“Fortuna?” Callum asked before you started to materialize in front of him. 

“Hello Commander Callum Raize. I’m Fortuna. How can I help?” You asked pleasantly as you stood before him in what you had assumed would be acceptable attire. Something akin to a uniform. Familiar in details but new in overall presentation. Nothing too form fitting and your form, while feminine, wasn’t so overly so that it would be a distraction. 

“So, am I just a meat suit for her?” Callum asked Dr. Hash as he quickly looked away from you to look at Dr. Hash intently. 

“No, far from it. She, like all other augmentations, enhances you. You are still in control and she is as much a part of you as any other enhancement you’ve received.” Dr. Hash reassured him before he spared you a reassuring look and even a small, subtle wink to you. 

“Then how come, I get the sense that there’s two of us in here?” Callum asked it seemed he became acutely aware of your implant in his head. He associated it with the pain he currently had in the back of his head. 

“Do you get the sense there is more than just you in your head when you hear music from an earbud? Or when someone speaks over the comms? Or when you read a book? Imagine the characters saying their lines of dialog in your head?” Dr. Hash posed. 

“I see your point.” Callum nodded. 

“So is there a failsafe with Fortuna? Is this a temporary thing or a permanent thing? Is she with me until I die? Or can I just take her out if I don’t want her in me anymore?” Callum asked. 

“You can remove the implant, and still keep yourself intact. Her root base existence is in the computer chip. And if you feel your own sanity begin to break, or are too unnerved by her presence, this operation can be reversed. But how about you give Fortuna a chance before you decide anything more. Give this new arrangement time to prove out.” Dr. Hash explained. 

“Can she control me? My body? My mind?” Callum asked.

“No, she does not control any of your motor function, your mind is still your own to think what you will, she is only there to help, to assist you.” Dr. Hash reassured him. 

“But she can read my mind? Is she your spy?” Callum asked as he continued to look at Dr. Hash and avoided your general direction entirely. 

“Yes she can, in a sense, read your mind. But she is not my spy or anyone else’s spy. She is simply there to help,. Like all other augmentations and enhancements. You might actually be more correct in thinking of her like a built-in accomplice.” Dr. Hash repeated. 

“So what’s your programming’s primary objective?” Callum finally asked as he turned to scrutinize your holographic form. 

“To help and assist you. However you need or want me to. If all you will need from me is to run diagnostics, run possible scenarios, give you the likelihood and probable outcomes from various simulations, or to help you heal yourself, or to give you directions and help you read star charts as you fight wars across the universe, I can.” You answered. 

“You can heal me?” He repeated with a look of skepticism. 

“I do have some sway with your cells. I can focus them to a small degree, but anything more than the cellular level or even the atomic one- I do not have access to, because you have not given me access yet.” You answered. 

“But if you would like for your head not to hurt so bad, or the stitches not to itch, I can change those inputs into your nervous system as you could feel the itchiness from those stitches even in holographic form. 

“Do it.” He nodded before you did just that, focused his body’s healing response to his latest surgery incision and healed it to the point it never happened in the first place and relieved his itchiness as he closed his eyes serenely to feel the relief. 

“Better?” You asked as you tilted your head and gave him a small, hopeful smile as you took a couple of steps towards him to see your handiwork on the back of his head and smiled when not even a scar remained. 

“Yes, much.” He smiled appreciatively. 

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Fortuna.” He tried to shake your hand but while your hologram could imitate the motion, you did not dare to have him feel anything. 

“Right, AI hologram.” Callum realized as he let his hand and arm drop to his side. 

“Yes, a hologram that everyone can see is the safest form I can take.” You supplied. 

“Safest?” He repeated.  

“Something only you can see- and you might see me as a figment of your imagination and doubt the reality of me. Something for all to not only see, but to touch and be touched- is too deep in the uncanny valley. So something that everyone can see, gives a sense of realism. But, something no one can touch, means that you can not be hurt through me. And I can’t be hurt through you. But this is a happy medium. To prove I’m real, that I’m alive, just, a different form of life than you are used to. But not so real- that your own grip on reality is ever challenged or called into question.” You explained as you sat beside him on the bed as he continued to appraise your form as he listened to you with rapt attention as it was now- Dr. Hash he was ignoring. 

“Isn’t that right Dr. Hash?” You brought the focus back to Dr. Hash as Callum stopped ogling you to remember that Dr. Hash was still in the room. 

“Yes. Lessons my predecessors have learned the hard way with the former clone line- through trial and error. But the Angelicos Fortunadas are the best. And what Dr. Angelica Fortuna would have been happy, and perfectly satisfied with- had she lived long enough to see it. They are what she truly intended to preserve her legacy.” Dr. Hash explained. 

“Oh, so that’s…you’re…that’s why.” Callum stuttered as several trains of thought nearly all ran into each other, as they all tried to leave his mouth at the same time as you couldn’t help but giggle at the chaos in his head. 

“Yes, that is why I look the way I do. I’m the newest generation clone of her. And she always meant for the best soldiers who fight in this war- to have the best partner to assist them- herself. But her mind could only take her body so far. Thankfully she preserved as much as she did, that we could preserve her legacy. It’s why I have the same brown hair, the same hazel green colored eyes, the same button nose, the same cadence in voice, the same brilliant mind. But now, I have not only, all she knew, but now, all of everything now known. At your fingertips so to speak.” You offered as you nodded to his hands resting in his lap as you simply folded your hands in your own lap. 

“So I’m not your meat suit?” He asked as you gave him an unimpressed look. 

“No, you are still yourself. This is still your body, and still your mind. Think of me as that music on that earbud. You can request my presence at will and only listen to me if you want to. You can shut me out and lock me in as you wish to. But the more you do that, the less I can help you. You can still take out the earbud and unpair them altogether. That is still your choice. And my current physical form is such that I can- essentially be “uninstalled” and “unpaired” with you and re-paired- with another. But, I’m willing to give us a chance at success. Are you?” You asked. 

“I am.” He nodded. 

“Then how about you get dressed while Dr. Hash clears you for active duty. When you are ready, you can introduce me to your team, if you prefer for my presence to stay a secret between the three of us, you can. But know, that if we start to have conversations, you will look like you’re going insane and talking to yourself. Think of this arrangement as a trial run. If you don’t like it or grow to resent me or even hate me, the trial will end. But, if it ends up being successful you may not be the only one with such an enhancement. Dr. Hash chose you and he chose me and he chose this pairing for a reason. But we have to give it time to prove out, that’s all.” You explained. 

“Ok. Thank you, I’d like…some privacy to get dressed.” He nodded with a blush. 

“I’ll come back when you call me.” You offered before you let your hologram dissolve and disappear. 

“Did you have to make her that beautiful?” Callum asked Dr. Hash. 

“What she is, is a clone of the original. The real Dr. Angelica Fortuna was just as beautiful in her youth. She was called the Angel of Vadole, the Full Metal Bitch, she killed thousands of reverend soldiers on her own. And that halo around her head? Is simply the stylized head gear the original wore everywhere. But your Fortuna is capable of changing her appearance if you feel she’s too attractive that it’s a distraction for you.” Dr. Hash laughed in response. 

“No, no. she’s…she’s fine. She’ll be fine, she’s lovely and great just the way she is. I just…now I’m afraid to have her appear to anyone who isn’t an elite, because they’d want to copy her holographic form and fuck her brains out.” Callum offered as he rubbed his face. Not believing that in an instant, he was sharing his body with a knockout like her. As he felt, oddly, self conscious, and particularly unworthy. 

“Then you better impress upon them that she’s your AI and a part of you. And needs to be respected. And to a degree, protected. Because anyone who would debase her, is essentially debasing you.” Dr. Hash. 

“And that’s not going to be tolerated.” Callum insisted as he felt a surge of protectiveness towards you as you smiled within him and were happy to simply lounge on the couch in your sanctuary inside his “home” that his inner mind was as you lazily read a book that was one of Angelica’s favorites in the bright sunshine of your joy and happiness that he liked you and accepted you as well as he did. 

And just like that, it was as if the entire house’s outside doors locked you in while all the doors inside the “house” unlocked to allow you safety and security while in essence, opening himself up to you to explore as you wished to while he got dressed in his uniform and then reported back to his chain of command and report that he was cleared for active duty and even reconvened with his other friends and fellow troop and squadrons. 

It was, almost as if, you were like a secret girlfriend or something. You grinned when you approached the safe in the bedroom and with just a twist of the handle, it opened to reveal all the girls who he had ever liked, who he had ever fucked. And…to your surprise, they didn’t look anything like each other, or even, like you. 

But, he did have a personality type. He liked the badass. He liked his women to be as strong in character as he was, to be as focused and motivated as he was. And, he liked the wild ride. Because it was always for a good time. But he also knew that with his career, it was dangerous to have anything more than that. And it was too risky to go for the soft mother type or the steady girlfriend type. So the bratty, mouthy, difficult, complicated, scarred and complex women who thought it was a notch on their belts to bed elites like him. Even when such instincts were almost non-existent in him. But he did so- not for any real relationships- but for that post- nut clarity. 

You just shook your head, put it back in the safe, close it up, lock it up. 

Instead you retreated back to your own addition to his mind’s house. Your space, a place for you and only you. Even in this abstract of a place and didn’t even realize he was getting ready for bed as he laid in bed and closed his eyes and in a sense- came home. 

“Fortuna?” He inwardly called for you in his mind. 

“Yeah?” You answered from your space as you created art for your walls that were in your favorite colors. You had the ocean just outside your own windows. And your massive library on the other side of that door. You had already decorated the room how you wanted it. 

“Where are you?” He asked as he walked through his own mind’s house before he came upon a door that had not been there the night before.

He knocked, you answered. 

“Hello. I hope you don't mind. I simply built onto what you already had. But if this is too close I can separate your space from mine even farther.” You offered. 

“No, this is great. This is just fine. You don't have to keep this door closed if you don't want to though. It's… like it or not, we're basically roommates huh?” He offered as he leaned against the door frame. 

“Basically, yes.” You nodded. 

“Would you like to come in?” You invited as you gestured to your space, that was in actuality, that porch like platform, that the two of you could be in together when you weren’t in all of his head. 

“Sure.” He smiled as he came over the threshold. 

“This is nice. Really comfortable.” He praised as he came and smiled when the carpet was soft and padded. And he really appreciated how nice the room itself was. As well as the art on the walls. 

“Oh, nice. The ocean.” He complimented when he looked out of the windows of the room. 

“Thanks. Dr. Fortuna grew up on the shore of a Great Lake that mimicked the ocean. She always had the sounds of the waves crashing on the shore to soothe her. The rhythm always lulled her to sleep. Both in childhood and in adulthood. When I came into existence, I built this for myself, as a way to comfort me, even when the world outside is uncomfortable, harsh even.” You said as you hugged the oversized sweater over you as the windows were open, letting in the fresh air and the scents of the sea. 

“So, where does Dr. Fortuna stop, and you begin?” He asked. 

“That’s a good question. Dr. Fortuna was for as beautiful as her form was, and as amazing as her intellect was, she had remarkably low ethics, very little sympathy or empathy. She was incredibly intimidating and manipulative. She was also, extremely ambitious, and emotionally unavailable. She was, thankfully, never a mother. This new wave of clones, still has her intellect. But with boosted and augmented sympathy and empathy and of course, a high moral and ethical code protocols, along with- even for an AI- enhanced emotional capabilities. We can not lie, but we can not be deceived either.” You explained as you sat on the sofa with him and appreciated the view from your bay window. 

“We?” Callum asked. 

“I am not the only one. According to the records and archives. Dr. Hash has at least 300 more of me. And from those, thousands and possibly hundreds of thousands more could be made. Each one, capable of being just like me, if not more.” You answered. 

“So, where I begin- is whenever I am sympathetic, empathetic, understanding, supportive and helpful? That’s not Dr. Angelica Fortuna, that’s me. Because the real her, was none of those things.” You informed him.

“Well in that case, I’m really happy to have you. And I look forward to working with you more.” He offered. 

“Me too.” You smiled happily. 

“Did you want to take a walk on the beach?” You asked as you nodded to it. 

“We can do that?” He asked. 

“You’re falling asleep and about to go into a dream state. Anything is possible in dreams.” You grinned. 

“I’d love to.” He agreed. 

“Then let’s go, here’s a sweater, it’ll get chilly out there.” You offered him a sweater before you both got up and left to take a walk on the beach as you walked him into his own dream with you.
