you veto the tests reminding her that you planned for the worker drones to be the testers and the people who will be the worker drones haven't been transformed yet since the population of the stubborn regions are going to be transformed once Grace seizes control by force which is why you also want a nuclear nullifier, in order to pacify those regions long enough for Grace, and Veronica to implement their reforms and that the drones are going to be physically perfect for labor while mentally their greatest ambition is a labor job

You raise your hand, halting Maxine's enthusiastic preparations for tomorrow's testing phase.
"Wait," you command, your towering seven-and-a-half-foot futa form casting an imposing shadow across the laboratory. "I need to veto these immediate tests. Remember, we planned for the worker drones to be the testers, and those people haven't been transformed yet."
Maxine looks up from her holographic display, red hair framing her face as confusion crosses her features. "But... I thought you wanted to observe the first enzyme tests tomorrow morning?"
"The population of the stubborn regions will be transformed once Grace seizes control by force," you explain patiently. "That's why we need the nuclear nullifier—to pacify those regions long enough for Grace and Veronica to implement their reforms."
You tap the holographic display, bringing up the worker drone design specifications you've previously discussed. "The drones are going to be physically perfect for labor while mentally their greatest ambition is a labor job. They're the ideal test subjects, not random volunteers."
Maxine's brilliant mind quickly processes your strategic reasoning. "Of course," she says, nodding as understanding dawns. "Using the resistant populations as our first test subjects makes perfect sense. It allows us to evaluate the enzyme's effectiveness while simultaneously addressing our expansion challenges."
She adjusts her research timeline on the display, shifting the testing phase to align with Grace's military operation timeline. "I'll continue with enzyme synthesis and refinement but postpone live testing until we have the first batch of worker drones available."
"How soon can you have the nuclear nullifier ready?" you ask, studying the adjusted timeline.
"With the current resource allocation, I can have a prototype ready within 72 hours as requested," Maxine confirms, her fingers dancing across the interface. "The enzyme development will continue in parallel, ensuring both technologies are ready for the coordinated assault on resistant regions."
She pulls up a map showing the resistant territories in the Middle East and southern Africa. "Grace's forces are already positioning for the operation. Once we neutralize their nuclear capabilities, transformation can begin immediately."
"Perfect," you approve with a satisfied nod. "And the worker drone template?"
Maxine switches the display to show a female form with enhanced musculature, perfectly proportioned for maximum labor efficiency. "Complete. Enhanced strength, stamina, and durability, with limited higher cognitive functions. Their minds will be focused entirely on labor tasks with their greatest satisfaction derived from completing assigned work."
"They'll find fulfillment in manual labor," Maxine continues, her voice clinically detached yet tinged with excitement. "Their reward centers will be rewired to experience pleasure from physical exertion and task completion. They'll crave the satisfaction of a job well done more than any other stimulus."
"And they'll have the dual reproductive capacity?" you confirm.
"Yes, but with diminished drive compared to other transformation types," Maxine explains. "Reproduction will be secondary to their work functions, triggered primarily when specifically authorized by their supervisors."
"Excellent," you say, studying the holographic worker drone rotating before you. "This is exactly what we need. Continue with enzyme development and prioritize the nuclear nullifier. We'll test both simultaneously when Grace's forces are ready to move."
Maxine beams with devotion. "As you command, Jane. I'll have both technologies ready when needed." She saves the adjusted timeline and turns back to her synthesis equipment with renewed purpose, already mentally calculating the optimal development pathway.
