  • Secondary Motor Control

    Chapter by ArtificialFox · 04 Jan 2026
  • Rex asks about Secondary Motor Control directly. He explains the mechanics: he can move Paula's body, but only when she's relaxed; she can always override. Paula is intrigued but hesitant.

    They experiment—hands, arms, walking. Paula can always take control back instantly. It escalates.

  • The next few days, we talked more than we had before. Not through the link—just text, the way we'd started. But something had shifted. The party night had cracked something open.

    Rex: I keep thinking about the heels.

    Paula: Of course you do.

    Rex: Not just like that. I mean yes, also like that. But mostly I keep thinking about how SMALL your feet are.

    Paula: They're not that small. I'm a 5.5.

    Rex: I was a men's 11. That's basically twice the size. Your whole foot would fit inside my old shoe with room to spare.

    Paula: And yet I still managed to dance for three hours.

    Rex: On these tiny little things. Balancing on four-inch heels. It shouldn't work. The physics shouldn't allow it.

    Paula: The physics are fine. It's just practice.

    Paula: You're making it weird again.

    Rex: I'm making it accurate. I was 6'1". I could see over crowds. I took up SPACE in a way that felt normal because it's all I knew. And then I was in your body and suddenly everything was bigger. The ceilings. The other people. That guy you were flirting with had to look DOWN at you. At us.

    Paula: Yeah, that's called being short. Welcome to it.

    Rex: How do you stand it? Being small. Being looked down at.

    I thought about it before answering. It was a strange question—like asking how I stood having brown eyes or ten fingers.

    Paula: You learn to take up space in other ways. Being loud. Being confident. Wearing heels that make people look where you want them to look. You can be five foot three and still own a room.

    Rex: You definitely owned that room.

    Paula: Damn right I did.

    Rex: Can I ask you something else?

    Paula: You're going to anyway.

    Rex: When you were dancing—did you notice how weak you are?

    Paula: Excuse me?

    Rex: Your arms. Your shoulders. When you moved, I could feel how little force was behind it. If you'd needed to push …
