The engineering lab.

"I guess this is my work station?" Allison muttered to herself as she examined the adjustable standing desk, with a laptop and two monitors and instruments, next to a workbench. "I'll have to personalize this ASAP."

"Where's Robbi?" Zoe wondered, looking around the research lab.

"Over here!" Leah chirped, pointing to a large plastic Pelican storage container. "Nat, help me take her out."

The two engineers unlocked the lid and carefully removed the spherical robot from out of the foam casing. They brought ROBoT over to a work bench and started plugging in cables to run diagnostics.

"How are you doing, baby?" Zoe cooed as she turned on ROBoT.

"Why are you talking to it like a pet?" Allison wondered.

"She'll be the closest thing to one for us in here for the next two years," Zoe remarked while she looked at her laptop's screen.

"You don't find her her cute?" Leah asked.

"Sure, in a medicine ball with a dome head way," the mechanical engineer shrugged.

The girls rolled their eyes.

"Would you rather cuddle Robonaut?" Natalie asked.

"Only after I cum," Allison snickered.

"Ew!" the other engineers groaned in unison.

"Oh please, as if you never used a vibrator before!" Allison scoffed.

The girls bit their lower lips and did not say anything.

"Okay, we're in the pipe, five by five," Zoe chirped after the final diagnostic was completed.

"Nerd," Allison sighed.

"But you understood the movie reference so that makes you a nerd too!" Zoe laughed.

"I'm going downstairs to the mechanical level to check the air scrubbers," Allison humphed.
