Ch 48: The Morning After

Dr Elune groaned as they rolled over, jumping slightly as their arm flopped onto someone. Opening their eyes, the doctor looked at a sleepy Alex, who had been rudely awakened. "Wh- I thought you were..." Tilting to glance back, Dr Elune saw the other AHOR right behind them, where they slept last night, "Oh. Greedy."

The Alex in front of them grinned, "Yes I am. And now that our ship is here, over a secure connection... I can control both at once again."

Dr Elune rolled their eyes, and quite forcefully pushed Alex right off the side of the bed. "Pity got you your cuddle. It's morning now."

Oofing as they landed, the other Alex hugged the doctor from behind, "Hey, that was mean. I met this... Greg, by the way. Interesting guy."

Sighing as they wiggled their own way off the bed, the doctor smiled, "Time to meet him, I guess. And your maintenance cradles should be installed in the room today, so no more sneaking into bed."

"Okay... Only because I know the monitoring is important." Stretching out, the Alex on the bed got up, and begn rummaging around for the day's outfits as the other maintained the conversation, "Did Ren mention anything about today's plans?"

"Just a tour of the mansion, and a discussion with Greg. Oh, and from I hear.... You are still to be a slight secret."

"Mansion... Normal clothes for you, then. I'll go with the uniform..." Handing over the clothes for Dr Elune, the Alexes began changing out of their flight suits from the day before, "And what do you mean, doctor?"

"I'll be blunt: Greg's wife, Berta, hasn't been informed of anything other than OHPS. And she is... Less than warm towards android idealists." Getting changed as well, the doctor glanced up at Alex with a smirk, "You know, it's funny..."

Stolen story; please report.

"What is, doctor?" The two Alexes paused in the middle of putting on their uniforms, an all-purpose bodysuit from the station leaving the hand, feet and head free.

Dr Elune finished putting on their shirt, "I am so used to getting naked in front of you, I didn't notice the change where it started getting... Well, slightly rude. You weren't aware back then."

Alex blushed faintly, rolling their eyes as they sealed the suits up, reaching for the accompanying boots next, "Very funny. I should say the same to you... Well, from the other point of view, though."

Smirking as they slipped on the ceremonial labcout, the doctor waited by the door, amused at the thought of how Alex would react next time. "It was a good point, though. Anyway, we should get going to meet our generous benefactor. Are both of you coming?"

"No, doctor... I shall also be helping oversee the continued unpack of the shuttle. Laura has gone to a conference in your stead, as your first one isn't till tomorrow... And Hope is, uh... Distracted. And less knowledgable on the setup of our equipment."

"... Distracted how?"

"... Having fun with the shooting range."

Dr Elune grinned, "Hey, the stuff in the armoury is awesome. Ancient swords, new replicas, bows, spears, experimental lasers... I can't beleive Greg has permits for this stuff."

Opening the door, Alex smirked, "I checked... Only most of it. Most people are too overwhelemed to notice."

Laughing as they followed after, the doctor was greatly looking forward to this.
