   The washing room looked familiar, except, all the surfaces were from the same white material, with no difference in texture.

   I turn around and hang on the door, I see the suit I'm supposed to use "the hell" I scream, then cover my mouth in shock, what the fuck suit is this?

   This is a goddamn latex sexy, sexy, porn shit; a black shiny jumpsuit with zipper starting at the neck in front, going all the way down between legs and up the ass area till waist.

   My ears start getting hot from embarrassment. Are they making fun of me or is this, really something they also use?

   Oh well, nothing I can do about now, will see later, if it's custom made maybe I can ask to be changed into something else, more, hmm, more not porno, yes! Then I looked at what I was wearing.

   Was nighttime when all these "x files" started, and I still had my green fluffy pajamas, flipping hell, it's not like this was my first choice at an alien submit.

   Taking them off, I jump in the shower, close the doors and look for the water tab ... I sneer... "We made the bath similar to earth style, he said," bla bla.

   "How do I open the water, and where is the soap?" I ask myself out loud.

   BEEP The water will start if u ask for it, and soap will be incorporated into the water at your request.

   Jumping in fright, I shouted, "who are you?" Where was the voice coming from?

   BEEP I am the ship AI, you can talk with me everywhere at any time after you get your device, you will also be able to hear me inside your mind.

   "Alright, you scared me." Do An should have told me about this. The voice sounded metallic and plain. "Thank you," I mumble.

   BEEP You are welcome.

   "Water start," I try, and of course, warm water starts flowing from the ceiling like heavy summer rain. It feels fantastic, but...

   "Make water hotter," and hallelujah the water gets just the way I like it—almost too hot to bear, hot enough to warm even the bones inside. I start washing as I giggle.

   "AI, do you have a name?"

BEEP Same as the ship's name, Eye-One.

   "Humm the ship is the ship and you are you. There should be two different names."

   "Eye-One can I call you by a different name? I pray.

   BEEP You can call me however you want, as long as I'm made aware of it prior.

   "Then ... hmm, I'll call you Orion. Wait, are you a male or a female?"

   BEEP An AI does not need a gender concept, so I'm neither.

   "Oh, then Orion it is, nice to meet you," the AI seemed quite smart and easy to talk to.

   BEEP Nice to meet you, Andra.

   "Soap," I solicit.

    "Orion, can I ask you things?"

   BEEP You can ask me anything, and I will answer within the limits of your information allowance.

   "Sure, no problem. Where is the ship located now?"

   BEEP Near Jupiter on a wide orbit.
