Take a Tour

"I suppose I'll take the tour," You say after a moment, your tone hinting at your contempt for being made to wait.

"Very well," The secretary replied, gesturing towards a nearby hallway. You followed her gesture and moved forward, missing the brief moment in which her **** businesslike smile morphed into something both genuine and sinister. And why wouldn't it, showing hapless investors just how the factory worked was one of her favorite parts of the job.

The hallway the secretary had gestured to looked virtually identical to the rest of what you'd seen so far. Pristine black and grey tiles that had been polished to a reflective shine, looking down at them you could even catch a glimpse at the shadowed area under the secretary's dress. The walls were a spotless white with simple grey lines. The only thing distinguishing this hall from any other was the text on its holographic sign which pointed ahead to "Demonstration Assembly Line 12".

At the end of the hallway, a metal door barred your way, a small computer console next to it projected a screen which requested a valid ID. As you approached it, the secretary brisky stepped past to swipe her card. The screen became a pleasant green revealing the secretary's name as "Talia".

The doors slide open and Talia lead you into another hallway, this one far, far longer than before and lined with windows to your right. As you walked, she began to speak up, apparently beginning your tour.

"This is an example of one our assembly lines, specifically one configured to assemble our ever popular Doe Mk. IV Humanoid Class Femdroids." As Talia spoke, you took a moment to look down at the factory floor, the line didn't seem to be running currently, but you could get a fairly good impression of it in motion. A conveyor belt of sorts stretched the entire length of the 100 yard factory floor. Various mechanical arms were interspersed throughout, accompanied by dispensers for various plates and parts. Looking back to the beginning of the line, your eyes fell on a set of plastic-looking black forms, humanoid in shape but lacking any distinguishing features.

"Those would be the base templates," Talia explained, following your eyes. "All of our femdroids are built around a flexible yet durable plastic polymer internal frame. All hardware and software is applied is added as an external shell built into mass produced parts. It helps save on costs for both production and maintenance."

You nod along silently as she explains in a quiet, serious tone. You could pretend to understand or care about half of what she was saying, but your only concern was speaking to the Chairman about actually expanding their factory or mining operations onto your homeworld.

"Excuse me..." Talia asked. You swore she had asked something as you zoned out for a moment. "I asked if you would like a demonstration?" She repeated, wearing an almost off putting smile.
