Chapter 5 - The Android

A graceful figure stood in front of them, it had long wavy white-coloured hair and blue eyes. The figure was of a human female and she was naked. Suddenly, Ariana closed the door to the medical room.

“Commodore and Max, please go ahead and pack your thing first,” said Ariana

“Eh?! Why? I want to meet my newest crew,” asked Lucas

“Lyra is not ready, so please go ahead first.”

“Not ready? She is outside of the body’s storage chamber.”

“She is naked, therefore she is not ready!” said Ariana, frustrated.

“She is right, we will dress her up first. We, girls, will take care of it,” said Sarah.

“Ohhh, right she is naked. Alright then, let’s go, Max,” said Lucas.

Then, when He and Max were about to leave, the door opened. “Greeting, Commodore.” Everyone looked at the person coming out of the medical room. She wore the Imperial Guard’s service uniform. The uniform was adorned with the patch of Recon Division and the rank insignia of Lieutenant.

“Ah, hello Lyra, you have changed into your uniform,” said Lucas. Ariana and the others were shocked.

“Yes, Commodore. In the medical room, there is storage for my uniforms.”

“That’s convenient.”

“I apologise for not telling you before. It seems it has caused an unnecessary commotion,” said Lyra apologetically.

“It’s nothing, Lyra. I guess I was worried for nothing,” said Ariana.

Lyra then walked past them in the direction of the common room. “Please follow me, I will tell you about this body’s ability.” Then, Everyone followed her to the common room.

When they were in the common room. Bianca offered to make them drink and Ariana offered to help her make coffee and tea. Lucas, Max and Sarah sat on the sofas and Lyra stood near them.

“You may have wondered why I have white-coloured hair,” said Lyra. The Lorien family strictly prohibited the production of androids with white-coloured hair, only a few approved androids were allowed to have white-coloured hair and all of them worked for the Lorien family in the Lorien Navy. For an android who was meant to work with the Imperial Guard to have white-coloured hair was something unheard of.

“Right, the trait of Lorien. I don’t know why an android of the Imperial Guard would be allowed to have white hair,” said Lucas, curious.

“The truth is this body was meant to serve you. The Emperor and the Duke agreed on the creation of this body for the sole purpose of serving you while you are in the Imperial Guard. If you were to move to another ship or facility, this body will be moved with you.”

“I see, so the body was purposely built to help me. That would explain it then.”

Ariana and Bianca started to serve everyone drinks and then sat with them. “Thank you for understanding, Commodore. Next, I will tell you the ability of this body. First, I would like to start with my eyes. It has the capability to use night vision and thermal vision with a maximum range of 5 km. I can also see an object as far as 15 km away clearly when there is no obstruction. I can use my eyes to track an object and use it together with this ship’s weaponry, in other words, we can send a missile from orbit down to a target on this planet using my eyes’ tracking function. I can also use my eyes as a display projector.”

Suddenly, from her eyes a display came out just a few centimetres away from her face, then it moved to the table. It showed the ability of her eyes.

“I see. It is just like our Personal Communication Device,” said Max. Personal Communication Device is a personal computer that the crews had, it was used to communicate and many other things, such as looking at maps and making a note. The device can be activated by looking at the forearm and touching the wrist, a display will come out on the forearm near the wrist. The display could only be seen by the person himself.

“Correct, but also incorrect. This display from my eyes is more like an extension of my PCD and I can place the display wherever I want as long as it is not too far. I can also show you cameras located on the ship which your PCD cannot do,” The display changed to the multiple cameras around the ships. “on the subject of PCD, you can use your PCD to see through my eyes. Please look at your PCD and approve the installation of new modules.” Everyone looked at their PCD and they could see from their PCD Lyra’s Point-of-view from her eyes.

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

“Wow this is amazing!” said Max, astonished.

“My eyes are also equipped with spatial detection ability. I can map a building precisely with it by just standing outside or an area 2 km away from me and within my eyes’ point-of-view. The data gathered from it can be stored and shared with you. I also can use that ability together with the thermal vision and night vision in real-time to give you precise location and movement of objects and subjects, and I can share the real-time data with your PCD.”

“Does that mean you can only detect something within 2 km?” asked Bianca

“My “radar” detection ability and spatial detection ability are two different things. My radar is not my eyes’ ability, therefore it is not limited to my point-of-view. It can detect something as far as 5 km away in a radius. The difference is my radar only gives a rough picture of an object, not precise like my spatial detection, and in a closed and walled area, my radar efficiency will become worse and even unusable,” explained Lyra.

“I understand,” said Bianca.

“My ears have enhanced hearing ability, I am able to hear someone whispering from afar or speaking behind a wall. My shooting skill and my melee combat skill are excellent, and my hand–to–hand combat is unmatched. So you don’t have to worry about me, I am able to protect myself. I am also equipped with enhanced nanomachines meaning if I get wounded, it will repair my body faster than the regular nanomachines. That is if I was able to get wounded, my skin and muscles are different from those of a human, my body can’t be pierced by rifle bullets and swords would have a hard time to even piercing me, especially my muscles. You would need multiple rounds of 120mm shells to even destroy me. And as long as this body core and processor are still functioning, you can’t stop me.”

“What?! You are practically indestructible then. The Imperial Research Institute just made crazy shit,” said Max, frustrated and amazed.

“Yes, this body was a prototype designed and made by Lead Researcher Orion Lorien.”

“Ah, my father,” said Bianca, surprised. She looked dejected.

“This body's purpose was to serve Lord Lucas Lorien. Therefore, I will follow all the orders from you, My Lord. You may use me whatever you wish for, including night service,” said Lyra nonchalantly. Everyone was shocked when they heard that.

Ariana looked flustered. “Yo-you should not do that, Lyra. Wh-what do you mean by night service?” said Ariana, stuttering.

“It is as you imagined, Lieutenant. After all, out of everyone that is able to service him, I’m the most experienced,” said Lyra with a smug face. All the girls were shocked by her remarks.

“Ho-how dare you!” said Sarah, flustered.

“And I don’t have a reproductive system, therefore there won’t be any worry of me getting pregnant,” said Lyra.

“What!? Yo-you damn robot!” said Ariana.

“But, don’t worry. I won’t hog him every night so all of you will get a turn to service him.” She looked at Ariana then smirked. “especially you, Lieutenant Ar–”

“Stoooooppp!” shouted Ariana. She stood up and her face flustered. She looked at Lucas and Max. They were holding back their laughter. “Lucas, say something!”

“Pffttt, sorry, that was funny. It was funny when she teased you all,” said Lucas

“Ahahahaha, that was a good one!” said Max while holding his stomach.

“Night service? She was just joking, all androids were programmed to never agree to sexual intercourse or even offer to do it,” explained Lucas.

“I do. I was programmed to do it only with you,” said Lyra in a serious voice.

“Only with me?”

“Yes”

“Said who?”

“Lead Researcher Orien Lorien.”

“Are you sure you are experienced?”

“Yes, I was fed with information on the subject.”

“Hmmm, still not buying it.”

“Then, we can do it right now. I will let you judge it.” Lyra answered all of his questions in a quick and serious manner.

Lucas went silent after she said that, and then he stood up. “Sure, let’s go to my room,” said Lucas seriously.

Ariana rushed into Lucas and hugged one of his arms, her face was red, then she looked up at him. “Wh-what d-did you say? Yo-you should not do that, especially with an android,” said Ariana.

“Ariana, I am doing it in the name of science,” said Lucas with a straight serious face.

“You caaaan’t!” said Ariana. She pinched his stomach.

“Agghhh!” shouted Lucas in pain.

“Ariana, stop it!” said Bianca. She looked at Ariana with a deathly glare. “He was just messing with you.”

“Eh?!” she stopped pinching him and looked at him. She saw him trying to hold his laugh.

“Ahaha, sorry Ariana, I was teasing you. You just like her when teased,” said Lucas. He petted her head. Ariana felt something sharp on her chest once again and at the same time, she felt fluttering on her chest. She then went back to her sofa and sat and looked down at the floor, her face red from a mix of emotions. Lucas sat on his sofa.

“Haah, my father did make a peculiar thing, huh,” said Bianca, frustrated.

“I don’t think I would need your night service, Lyra. Just keep it to yourself, for now,” said Lucas after he composed himself.

“Understood, My Lord. It is a shame that you don’t need my service, sh–” said Lyra, cutting herself mid-sentence.

“Hm?”

“Nothing. That would be all for my introduction. I, Lieutenant Lyra, will be in your care!” said Lyra. She ended her introduction with a salute to them.
