There are a few timezones where this isn't late... not mine but they are out there.

Part 6

Kai let out a sigh as she stared down at the scale below her. With how big she had gotten recently she could barely see the numbers past her stomach. Even subtracting the weight Bruce had said her endoskeleton and augments weighed (which she was beginning to suspect he rounded up to make her feel better) her weight was still hard for her to believe. She had been working hard at the gym between jobs to build back up her muscles and had managed to lower the assistance level of her augments but it was not giving her the results she was looking for.

“Bruce said that I might put on a bit of weight while I try to put on muscle again.” Kai said, turning as she examined herself in the mirror. “But, this is ridiculous…”

Kai’s phone vibrated. She glanced down seeing that Bruce was calling her.
“Hey Kai,” Said Bruce as Kai answered. “I got your text and I looked over your biometrics from your current scan data like you asked. Your muscle mass is still a little on the low side, but it’s no longer at a concerning level. As for the extra weight I’m not sure the only thing I could think of is that you're using too much protein when you're working out.”

“I don’t know how.” Kai huffed in response. “I’ve got the assistance level set to 50 percent, and at my current weight that should be plenty for exercising. I’m hauling around more weight than I used to when I was skinny during my exercising and I still can’t lose weight! ”

Bruce was silent for a moment in response. “You have it set to 50 percent?” Bruce said after a pause. “Kai 50 percent means 50 percent motor power, not that it's only lifting half of your weight. That's barely anything I’m surprised you even notice a difference with how powerful that thing is. Is that the lowest you have set it to?”

Kai slumped back leaning against the wall draping her arm over her face. “Bruce… Please tell me you’re joking…”

“No,” Bruce replied in an apologetic tone. “I guess I could try to figure out how to make it be able to calculate that but it would take a lot of math to figure out what percentage of motor power equals your perceived weight. I guess that would make trying to calculate your needed caloric intake easier…”

“Just let me know when you’re done.” Kai sighed, hanging up.

Kai squeezed her belly as she examined it in the mirror. “This is going to take forever to get rid of.” Kai said, giving her stomach an annoyed shake. While Kai liked Bruce's extra bulk, the sight of seeing herself getting so big didn't exactly elicit the same feelings. “I guess, I should just be glad that I don’t have to deal with most of the down sides of being this big and heavy.” Kai sighed “Except for being too big for everything that is.” She said looking at her over stretched suit.

And there was always the other plus side she thought. Kai paused for a moment looking at herself again before as she took a selfie of her breasts spilling out of her suit and sent it to Bruce. ‘Not to distract you from the homework I gave you… But you coming over tonight?’

‘Ooooh wouldn't miss that. Let me grab something to eat and I’ll head over’ Bruce responded immediately

‘I’ll order something just head over.’ Kai replied as she looked up places that delivered nearby. After everything today she needed something to take her mind off her stress about her weight, self sabotaging as it was. ‘Oh yeah and can you bring me a shirt or something… I’ve outgrown all of mine and I need something to hold me over till I can go shopping…’
