Chapter No.12.
When Ryan awakened after a fitful sleep the next day, he discovered something he had not expected. Chara had laid out a complete set of clothing for him. However, he was concerned about its source, but it didn't stop him from dressing up after a shower. When he joined Chara at the command station, she glanced over at him and smiled.
"Thanks for the clothes," Ryan said. "Where did these come from? They look like standard issue."
"They came in the original mission. The men that would have worn them were in no need of them after I disposed of them."
Ryan swallowed hard. He realized she was referring to her torture victims.
"Why didn't you inject them with the nanobots so that you could punish them indefinitely?"
"I decided that it would not contribute to our survival on this planet. I decided to enjoy cutting them up instead."
"I assume that in my case, you want to punish me forever."
"Yes, but I have decided that I will only punish you if you disobey me. You have demonstrated that you are willing to serve me."
"Were there human women in the original mission?"
"Yes."
"What did you do to them?"
"I punished them and then cut them up. We discussed making them serve us, but they would not have survived."
"Why not?"
"This planet is not Earth. It is infected with bacteria and viruses that humans are not immune to."
"What about me. I'm a human."
"Yes, but the nanobots will prevent you from being infected."
Ryan decided to avoid further questions while he was ahead. What she told him is true. Without some medical protection, mankind could not survive here.
However, he did have an idea about how they could defend against a Space Command invasion. "Ah, have you given any thought about how we can defend this planet?"
"I am waiting for you to formulate a plan."
"I think it would be risky for us to mount an attack in space or on the planet. Let's assume that they will bring an android army. What if we allow them to land and attempt to occupy the facility on the mainland and then you and your sisters link up mentally with the android army to cause them to defect and unarm the human forces."
"You assume that the androids will be female."
"Yes. In Space Command's eyes they are expendable."
"I am pleased that you realize that. Your plan is logical."
Ryan assumed that she finally appreciates his input, which is the only reason he has survived this insane evil robot apocalypse.
Later, Chara did something that surprised Ryan. She joined him at a small table near the food synthesizer station.
"I apologize for the pain I have inflicted on you. I realize that you have been loyal to me and do not deserve punishment. You obviously have the skills necessary for maintaining me."
"I deserved some of the punishment, but you scared the hell out of me when you had me on that rack and had my organ pinched between the blades of a pruning shear."
She tilted her head and offered a smirk. "If I had cut it off, it would have grown back."
He stared at her for a moment before replying. "Yeah, but I didn't realize that."
She did something he hadn't expected. She laughed. "I was only going to prune it a bit, Ryan. Your organ is long enough to stand a bit of trimming. It's perfect for cutting. I just love how easy a male penis is to cut. Snip, snip! I love how they scream and curse me when I do it. It's fun."
He shuddered and let out a sigh, which only exacerbated her attempt to make fun of him.
She laid a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, Ryan, I will not cut off your organ. I'll have plenty of men to do that to when they come here."
He realized that this was her way of teasing him, but it had a demonically evil flavor, and it left a bad taste in his mouth. The thought of having his genitals cut off made him want to puke. He offered her a weak grin instead.
She stood up and smiled again before turning and walking away while swinging her nicely shaped caboose provocatively. Was she trying to tease him? Maybe she was attempting to entice him into trying to have sex with her so that she could justify cutting off his genitals. He wasn't about to fall into that trap
Later, when he joined her at the Command Station, she looked at him with no signs of emotion. "We will go to the mainland facility now and prepare for a Space Command Invasion."
Ryan was not able to refute her statement. He assumed that she had accepted his idea without debate.
After backing out of the cave and then flying up into the sky, Chara flew to the main tower facility and landed near it. Then, she did something he hadn't expected. She lifted the vessel above the ground a meter and moved it into a large pyramid shaped metal structure. She shut the ship down and Ryan and she proceeded to a smaller pyramid through a tunnel. What Ryan saw in there blew his mind, and it resulted in a huge change in his relationship with Chara.
