Dark Matter

Seven was right, the security protocol was in fact the ship's android. Of course this news did unnerve her a bit, for how did she know? Only a few of them are all gathered in the infirmary while the android is on the table, and her hand that was apparently cut off is being reattached to her body. They have her under the scanner, and Two is looking at the monitor, while Five, Six, and Seven just wait. The guys continued to look around the ship, and decided that the rest should wait in the infirmary with the android. Then the door slides open and in comes three, four, and one.

"Guys we found food, who wants?" Three throws one to Six, "Kid," he says before throwing one to Five. 

He looks down at Seven who is on the floor, and drops one on her stomach. This didn't startle her, but it was a bit annoying. She sat up, and quickly unwrapped it, but as she lifted it to her mouth she heard Six's reply.

"Gah! You sure?"

"Close enough." Three turns his attention to Two who is now standing over the android's body, "What's up with the robot?"

"Technically she's an android. Her bio-synthetic physiology is incredibly similar to that of our ship's outer haul."

"That's fascinating."

"She's an extremely efficient entity. Correcter nanites have almost fully restored her broken parts."

"Well that's not a problem. We just stick her in the air lock and space her," Three replies heartlessly. 

"That won't be necessary. I've already deleted all of her security directives, and re-established her base program. She's no longer a threat to us. And she could prove useful," Two tells him, and everyone else.

Seven agreed with Two. This android is a very sophisticated model, and could help them in many ways. She is connected to the ship, and is a security protocol, meaning she knows how to fight and defend the crew. She can prove very useful in many situations. Meaning that they should not in fact just stick her in the air lock and space her.

"Whoa, we're not waking that thing up!" One says.

"The diagnostics suggests she possess some sort of neural link with the ship's mainframe. Once she's back online, she'll be able to run a more effective repair command, she'll have us space worthy in no time." A silence falls onto everyone in the room. "She may also have some answers for us if anyone is curious."

One leans over and grabs his gun from where he had put it down. "Okay, start her up," he says pointing it at her.

Four grabs a sword, and points it at her also. Six motions to Three causing him to groan, but the two of them also grab their weapons that point it at the android. Five shifts nervously in her seat, and Seven she sits calmly on the floor, where she has been this whole time. From the inside of a box, Two takes out a chip, most likely the android's chip, and moves towards her neck. Carefully she places it inside, and only moments after a whiring sound the eyes of the android open. She lifts her hand, causing everyone to gasp and back up, all except for Seven that it.

"What's your name?" One asks it.

"I posses no personal designation," she replies.

"Yeah there's a lot of that going around," Six says lowering his gun slightly.

"Why did you attack us?"

"I have no memory us such an attack."

"The reboot must have wiped her data stores," Two states.

"Well ain't that convenient," Three says angrily.

Abruptly the android sits up and faces everyone. Everyone jumps back, and Five even gets off from where she was sitting to stand up. Two moved in front of her, while everyone stood ready to attack, all except for Seven, yet again. Two asked the android to do things, and of course she did them. This android is loyal to her crew, and this group of amnesiacs are her crew. But when Two asks her about any and all information about the crew won the ship, she doesn't give a good answer. The android claims that there is no such data, that there is nothing in the ship's mainframe about the crew to this ship. One asks if there's any records about any crew ever, and their mission, but yet again she says that there is no data for that. This time Seven stands up from her seat on the floor. She walks closer to the android but it stopped by Three's arm. He might not show it but he is a bit concerned for the two young girls in the room with the robot who attacked him. Then they all found out that someone had to have deleted that information.
