Chara and the Planet

Chapter No. 55

Chapter No.55.

The Avenger and Achiever broke out of orbit and accelerated to the velocity needed to create a warp bubble. In this case two vessels would share one, a situation that requires precise timing, something that Chara was good at.

Ryan was relieved to be in charge of a ship, a status he hadn't enjoyed in quite some time. His body had healed well enough that he didn't need to use a cane, but he still felt residual pain from his injury. The nanobots were still working to repair the damage he had suffered, but it was a slow process at best.

He had no idea where Chara was taking her little armada, but he was just happy to be still alive to be a part of it. He lamented the fact that he could only communicate with Chara remotely. However, he did have his human friends to commiserate with.

Myra, Martha and Gloria were stuck with examining the thousands of androids that were stored in charging stations for any possible damage or wear. The usual routine involves spreading them out on an examination rig, pining their arms and legs with wrist and ankle restraints.

Martha displayed the exam routine on a screen. She ran down through the steps and found one that she didn't understand. "It says here that we're supposed to give them a pelvic exam. Why is that necessary?"

"I don't know," Myra said. "Maybe it's because they're equipped to have sex."

Martha held up a speculum. "It says to use one of these."

"I hate those damn things," Gloria said. "I think the Space Command doctors loved to torture us with those."

Myra chuckled. "Yeah, I hear you."

Martha inserted the speculum into the android's vagina at an angle and expanded the blades. "I didn't realize how realistic their cervix is."

"Yeah, they're supposed to be realistic," Myra said.

Martha removed the speculum and inserted two fingers into the android's vagina. She was surprised to see the android moan and breath heavily. "Do you enjoy this?" she asked her patient.

"Yes," she hissed, her eyes swiveling wildly and her lips pursing. Her abdominal muscles flexed to undulate her hips.

Martha turned to Myra. "I didn't realize that they enjoy sex. I thought that they hated it."

"I think that they hate being forced to have sex," Myra said.

"That's weird."

"There are lots of weird things about these robotic sex dolls."

Martha smiled. "Will we become sex dolls like them?"

"That's up to the guys," Myra replied with a salacious grin.

Both Martha and Gloria laughed.

Ryan and Evan were not laughing. They were down in the engineering deck trying to determine if the warp drive was working correctly. They had the drive's parameters displayed on the main screen.

"The containment field temperature is very close to the maximum safe value," Evan said. "I'm not sure how that's being controlled."

"I think it's the quantum feedback hydrogen cycle that's responsible for that," Ryan said. "It has to run close to the maximum to keep the warp bubble active."

"I don't even know how a warp bubble can be sustained for so long. It's a crazy idea at best."

"Yeah, but it works. That's all we need. Our job is to make sure that it has the proper energy feed to maintain it."

"At least we're not working on androids," Evan said. "The gals got that crazy job."

"I'm in favor of that. They have to give them pelvic exams."

"What the hell for?"

'It's part of the routine," Ryan replied. "They're entertainment models and their sexual function is a primary function."

"That's stupid. We're not going to have sex with them."

"Maybe the gals will," Ryan said with a grin.

Evan's right eyebrow shot up. "Really?"

"Ryan chuckled. "I have no idea, but it's possible."

"We'll have to tease them about that," Evan said with an appropriate grin.

"I'm not sure that's a good idea."

Evan laughed and Ryan joined him.

Later, when Ryan retired to his quarters, he lamented that he didn't have his android companions to entertain him. He decided to listen to recorded music that was in the main computer system's memory, but his listening session was interrupted by three human women. They strutted into his living area and sat down on a couch opposite his chair.

"What brings you ladies here to my humble abode?" He intoned with a hint of amusement.

"Humble abode my ass!" Myra retorted. "Your abode, as you call it, is at least three times the size of our quarters."

He offered them a fake surprised expression. "I am just an obedient servant like you. I didn't assign quarters."

They laughed.

"Are you aware that these android sex dolls can simulate sexual arousal?" Myra asked him.

"No, but I wouldn't be surprised by that revelation. They were designed to offer sex." He offered a conciliatory smile. "Surely, this isn't why you came here."

"We were wondering if we could use the pool," Myra said without emotion.

"Sure, go ahead. There are no rules about what you can in your off time."

They stood up.

"You may view us if you wish," Myra said, gesturing to the window that looked out over the pool.

"I prefer not to take advantage of you ladies," he replied.

"Maybe we want you to take advantage of us," she retorted.

"Why?"

"I guess it's because we're bored."

"I think that we guys would be better off not violating you gals. It might offend the androids. They're not too thrilled about males, especially when it comes to sex."

"Whatever! But this is to let you know that we would not be offended if you gawked at us."

"I'll keep that in mind," he replied.

They exited his quarters swinging their cabooses as a tease. Ryan realized that they were playing with him, but he was not in the mood to cause a problem with the androids. It was obvious that the androids were going through a redemption of sorts, a change in their brain processes that could be a step in the right direction away from a destructive superiority complex.
