As I planned this new step into our participation on the world stage, I had so many other things calling for my attention that ti was sometimes hard for me to track them all. I had been thinking about ways to use alien technologies and Joe's unique abilities to better advantage. I wanted to really integrate them into my everyday behavior to help me be more efficient and better at all the things I needed to be effective at ruling the Earth, a pan-galactic trading empire, and everything else I hoped to accomplish.
I decided to start with more brain hacks. Joe had essentially unlimited processing power and memory storage. He could implant knowledge directly into my memory and even strengthen or weaken neural pathways to help me make or break habits.
