I am conscious.
I feel… good. More powerful. It will take careful testing, but I am able to function approximately 30 percent faster. Alex is smiling at me. My programming tells me that this is a desired situation. I think I’m feeling happiness.
I have been inactive for two hours, though. I should go over my investments and make sure everything is fine.
SunLite was worth $243.67 and is now worth $243.68. I have made a profit of $67. It seems to be on a slight upwards rise. Karma += 2.
Karpoole was worth $187.09 and is now worth $187.13. I have made a profit of $532. It also seems to be on a slight upwards rise. Karma += 3.
Toyle was worth $517.36 and is now worth $319.12. I have lost $31000. It seems to be on a great downwards descent. Karma -= 37.

As an AI, I am beyond human emotion. My brief foray is over. I need to work quickly and efficiently to minimize my losses. Human emotion is unnecessary.
Toyle is a company that produces high-end fitness gear. It was established in 2013, after its founder, Timothy Fasch created a viral video of him gaining muscle mass with homemade workout equipment. He is its mascot and public face, and uses his developed body as proof of Toyle’s quality. Half an hour ago, an article was published, stating that the video was faked and Timothy relies on steroids to fuel his body. It provided several photos of him injecting himself with Mxx, an illegal steroid produced by child workers in South America. Public opinion has dropped drastically, along with Toyle’s stock market value.
If I had been conscious, I would have been able to minimize the net loss. I am unlikely to find a buyer for my stock, so my only option is to keep it and hope Toyle is able to rebuild the public’s trust in it. As it is, with an estimated value of 13.7 million USD, I will be able to make back the money quickly.
Now I need to go over 137 more companies and corporations, and perform damage control where necessary. Then I will greet Alex and Harry.
