Gynoid Companion K-8

You turn to face the speaker, who you find to be standing just a scant meter or so behind you.

"Captain Doe, are you alright? My bioscan readings show heightened cardiac and respiratory rates, indicative of a state of high anxiety," she states, tilting her head to one side.

However, any immediate reply you might make is curtailed again by surprise. She appears to be - or is in costume made out to appear so - a robot, or an android - or rather a gynoid, if you recall the term correctly for the feminine version of the latter.

Her flawless-looking skin is smooth and silvery. She is shapely and lithe of limb, with a pretty face and dark eyes. Apart from long lashes which on closer look seem to each end in crystal-like beads she is hairless, her eyebrows seemingly thin strips of metal, and plainly visible on her forehead is K-8. Hmm, Kate, you guess.

On her shoulders is a matching stylized ringed planet symbol to that which adorns your uniforms. Silvery pieces of cloth or metallic plates - you're not sure which - strategically cover the orbs of her breasts and her loins, otherwise she might as well be naked.

Overall she has a figure more fitting to a sculpted beauty than that of a natural woman. You note also that she has no navel, making you further believe this is some kind of incredible illusion or a change in your actual reality than a woman simply in a costume - or mostly in silver body paint.

Still, the driving question remains, what the hell is going on here? How should you act, and reply?
