The next morning Maggie woke up to Joe sucking the come out of her. She had a wonderful orgasm and thought that it was a good way to start her first day working for Joe.
Joe then woke up Jenny by sucking the come out of her whilst Maggie sucked the milk out of Jenny's breasts. Joe joined Maggie after Jenny came and Jenny felt empty but fulfilled. Jenny then helped Maggie suck the milk out of Joe's breasts and help him come by riding him to orgasm.
They had a quick breakfast, abluted and then Maggie walked with Joe to the E-trip factory. On the way, Joe warned Maggie that Harry didn't like being touched.
At the factory, Joe introduced Maggie and Harry. Joe then went on to explain that Maggie was going to help automate the production of the E-trip vehicles. He assured Harry that Harry would still be needed for some assembly but also, and more importantly, that Harry would still perform the quality assurance of the E-trips.
Joe, Maggie and Harry sat in the small office. Joe asked Harry, "Harry, do you think that multi-dimensional topography would help design the automation?"
Harry thought for a while and then answered, "How do you think topography would help?"
Joe answered, "Well, you used five dimensional topography to help with making the E-trip wiring more efficient. Maybe topography could help make the automation more efficient."
"I think that there would be more than five dimensions," said Harry, "A fifth dimension could describe the manufacturing process. Such as, the axles need to be installed before the wheels can be attached. That sort of logical process.
"I imagine that there will be robots involved and if so, their contribution would need to be taken into account. There's also the time it takes for different components to be made. For example, the polycarbonate bodywork needs to cure before it can be handled and attached."
Maggie interrupted and asked, "You use bullet proof plastic for the body?"
"Yes," answered Joe, "It's not really thick enough to be classed as bullet proof. It would stop a small calibre bullet but not a high powered bullet."
"Why?" asked Maggie.
"It's light, it's much stronger than glass or steel, it's flexible enough to withstand an impact but sturdy enough to protect the occupants," answered Joe, "It also provides a bit of cushioning for the occupants before the airbags engage to provide further protection and it's relatively cheap."
"Wow," said Maggie, "I suppose that makes sense."
Joe then said to Harry, "Please continue."
Harry said, "There's also supply of components from outside the factory. Such as, the drive motors. If the supply isn't available when needed, then that would hold up production. Does that mean that the robots stop assembling or can the component..."
Maggie couldn't help but tune out. Most of what Harry was saying was fairly obvious but then some of it just went over her head. She paid more attention when she heard Harry say, "I think that we would need at least seven dimensions of topology to address all those but I'm not sure if I've considered all the aspects. Therefore, the answer to you original question is yes."
Joe considered Harry's answer. Maggie didn't want to interrupt. Her question about the polycarbonate seemed trivial compared to what Harry had said. Joe then said, "Couldn't we concentrate on those dimensions and then add more if we think of something else?"
"Yes," answered Harry.
Maggie wondered about Harry's answer. To some people it would have seemed curt, but she was learning that coming from Harry it was accurate and succinct.
"Why don't we do that then?" asked Joe, "We could use the part numbers as nodes and map those to how they are assembled. We could also map the reliance between components as well as the assembling process to robots."
"I think that would be a good start," answered Harry.
Joe asked, "Maggie, are you aware of the types of robots used for different processes? Such as, robots to make polycarbonate, weld titanium, attach things with bolts, et cetera."
"Not the actual robot models but I'm aware of the types of robots to do those things," Maggie answered carefully.
"Could you please go through the component diagrams and map those components to the robots?" asked Joe.
"Yeah, sure," answered Maggie and little bit more confidently, "How do you want me to represent those mappings?"
Joe asked Harry, "What do you think about a spreadsheet identifying the components to the type of robots?"
"That sounds logical as long as the components can be mapped to the part numbers," answered Harry.
"Yes, we've already got that," answered Joe, "I'll extract them out if the database and do that mapping.
"Harry, you're very familiar with assembling the E-trips. Could you please map the components' reliances?"
"Yes," answered Harry, "but what about the external influences?"
"We can allocate those to a reliance identified by the suppliers," answered Joe, "We can later add the disruptions that those supplies would make to the assembly."
"It's morning tea time," stated Harry as he stood up and walked to the lunch room.
Joe called out to Harry, "Harry, could you please show Maggie where the tea facilities are?"
"It would be my pleasure," answered Harry as he held the door open for Maggie to pass him.
After morning tea, Joe confirmed each person's duties and the format of the spreadsheets. He personally made sure that the data formats were inter-operable under the scrutiny of Harry and Maggie. Once they were all satisfied with their duties they each set to their tasks on individual laptops that were remotely connected to the main computer in Joe's factory.
Now and then Joe and Harry would discuss how the topology would resolve the processing. Maggie didn't understand any of that so she made herself busy with her spreadsheet.
At precisely 1pm, Harry said, "Lunch time," and walked to the lunch room.
As Harry was leaving the office Joe said, "I've got some bread and sandwich making stuff in my kitchen."
Harry answered, "It's alright Joe. Mum made me some sandwiches to bring today."
Joe then said, "Harry, could you please take Maggie to my place and show her the kitchen?"
"Yes of course," answered Harry, "Please come this way Maggie."
Harry used his own key to let Maggie through Joe's backdoor. He showed Maggie where the toilet was for her to, 'freshen up,' and where things were for both of them to make themselves sandwiches and a pot of tea. Harry showed Maggie how to make an espresso coffee for herself with Joe's coffee machine. Harry explained that it didn't get much use because most of Joe's friends preferred to drink tea.
Harry set aside the sandwich that he'd made and ate the sandwich which his mother had made. He explained, "Joe may want this if he takes a break for lunch."
They sat in silence eating their lunch waiting for Joe. Harry said, "I'm not very good at small talk."
Maggie answered with a smile, "That's okay, we don't have to talk if you don't want to."
"I'd like to practice with you if you don't mind?" asked Harry.
"Yeah, sure, practice away," answered Maggie.
Harry sat there staring at Maggie. She started to feel a little bit uncomfortable until Harry asked, "You have a degree in mechanical engineering?"
"Not yet," answered Maggie, "I'm still waiting until the graduation ceremony."
"Oh," replied Harry, "I was uncomfortable during my first graduation but the second was much easier."
"You have two degrees?" asked Maggie.
"No," answered Harry, "A degree in mathematics with honours in topology and a doctorate."
"Holy shit!" replied Maggie, "Joe's so lucky to have you."
"I think that we are both very lucky to be friends," replied Harry.
