They walked in silence down the long corridor that had taken them to the bridge. Calvo found himself unconsciously staring down at the android’s swaying ass as she walked. It was small, but perfectly shaped and despite its reflective chrome surface she found it more than a little alluring. Calvo shook his head and looked away.
With the lifts running again, the trip down to the AI core only took about 15 minutes, but it felt like an eternity. The path they took was winding, and Calvo was getting worried that they wouldn’t be able to find their way out of here without their diminutive guide, but before he could voice his concern the android spoke.
“We’re here” AISS 1 whispered, a hint of reverence in her voice. “I can go no further.”
“Fine, just tell me how to reset the core.” Calvo demanded.
“I’m sorry,” she seemed genuinely regretful, “That is not part of my programming.”
“Don’t listen to her Calvo!” Shouted Eighteen, “We can’t trust this lying hunk of scrap metal.”
Turning his back on the others and placed his palm against the plate beside the heavy looking blast door. The door hissed open slowly. Eighteen and Calvo take a hesitant step into the AI core.
