unpacking your gear on the beach.

The 7 longest minutes of your life. Without shields and with limited maneuverability the descent was frightening. Controlling the ship on your own, you managed to aim for a large archipelago in the eastern hemisphere.

The water provided help to slow your fall and cooled down the red hot hull of your craft, and the sleek corvette came to rest halfway up a sandy beach on one of the smaller islands in a mid-sized archipelago.

The beach of the tropical island was beautiful. You buried Williams and Smith in their suits, unwilling to open them to find their dead bodies. Strangely you reflected that given your life expectancy on this world it was the closest you'll ever be to touching a woman's body, but you mind revulsed at the idea of even touching their cadavers.

The ship clearly won't fly again without months of work on it and huge amounts of resources to remake the missing pieces. Yet it made for a nice house on this world. It provided safety, power, some water purification, the engineering system could manufacture useful items and the food processor could turn biomass into food. (nearly anything in the universe would be better to eat than what came out of it, but you wouldn't starve.)

You decided to unpack the brand new android from its crate, it would provide you with help and company (as far as a maintenance bot could) on this savage world.

The human sized crate looked like a coffin. You look for the tag on the crate.

M54 Maintenance Bot, can be operated in the void. corvette Gorgon. Prime operator: Captain Thorn.

There was something wrong.

The tag's chip had been tampered with. You activated your neural implant and used your debugging tool to clean the fake reading on the tag.

F969 Pleasure Bot, not void operable. Ship carrier Acheron. Prime operator: Vice-Admiral Stretton.

The Vice-Admiral smuggled a pleasure bot on board the Acheron. The 900 class of androids were the latest versions, a 900 pleasure bot could be worth over 20 million credits.

And now with the Acheron leaving you stranded here, left for dead in the attack, you were alone with it on this world.

The Prime operator setting on a brand new android could easily be changed before the first activation with a little knowledge in this domain. (in which you had a degree.)

You stood before the crate and checked the custom build and options before pondering your next actions.
