--------------------
Cassandra lay sprawled on the work bench in the middle of Ethan's lab once again. Her lifeless eyes unfocused on the ceiling above her. Her lips were parted ever so slightly, showing a row of perfectly white teeth behind it. Once again her chest was splayed open and cabling was running deep inside of her and snaking across the floor to Ethan's computer.
Currently the computer was occupied by Sara who was meticulously going over the operating code that would be the framework for the rest of Cassandra's programming. She had been at it all weekend long, going so far as to call in sick to her job at Pizza 'Spress. Ever since the incident last week everyone had been pitching in wherever they could.
Cassandra had not only taken a nasty fall from the bench to the floor, she had also suffered a serious overload in her sexual systems. She hadn't been designed to have a sex in the first place but with some creative coding they thought that they could make it work. They were unfortunately wrong. The consequence was that Cassandra had fried out several internal circuits and needed several new parts.
Sara was pouring over the code line by line, making sure that everything would work this time. They had already collectively decided that Cassandra would not have a vaginal module so as to prevent another overload like last time. But that was an integrated part of her personality. It would be the human equivalent of waking up one morning to find that you didn't have legs. Needless to say Sara had been trimming and rewriting pieces of Cassandra's base system for nearly two days straight. She oddly did not feel even slightly tired. Currently Kate and Alexa, the other two androids living in the house, we're at work. Ethan was double checking that all the parts were secure inside of Cassandra.
He glanced up at Sara, he had had to do some tricky things with her programming without her knowledge to make this weekend work. Sara was another robot like the rest of the house hold members, Ethan included, but she had no idea. Ethan had to update her software to have her actively avoid noticing that she was trailing a power cable up the front of her shirt. In order to have her coding through the night she was constantly plugged in. She only disconnected the power when Kate and Alexa were in the house. She would reach up her shirt, disconnect the power, drop the cable and close her panel and then resume like nothing had happened. Ethan was proud of himself for that little piece of genius; he hoped it would be included in future androids.
The whole point in their existence was to test if androids could easily blend in to society as well as be self-sufficient. Ethan was programmed to be the mechanic of the cluster. Sara was designed to be the perfect human emulation. Alexa and Kate both were to be human emulators, or robots that knew what they were but programmed to emulate humanity whenever possible, and finally Cassandra. Cassandra was designed to be a standard domestic maid type droid.
Sara pinched the bridge of her nose and squinted her eyes shut. She blinked a few more times before going back to her coding. Easily three hours later she finally leaned back in the chair.
"Aaaaand done. I think we are finally ready." Sara said, stretching her hands above her head and arching her back.
"oh good, I've double checked all of the mount points inside of the torso, everything is night and tight. I think we're ready." Ethan replied.
Sara stood up and without even noticing stepped around the power cable snaking up her shirt. She wore a plane white V neck T-shirt and a pair of pink panties, but nothing else. She walked over to Cassandra and peered inside and gave a single nod.
"Ok, let’s do this." Sara said and walked back to the computer and bent over the keyboard. Ethan enjoyed the view of her perfectly toned ass as she typed on the keyboard. Before long Sara was walking back towards Cassandra with a hard drive in one hand and a screw driver in the other. She bent over Cassandra's open form and slotted the hard drive into place, screwed it into place and connected the data cables.
Ethan meanwhile was disconnecting the cables that ran into Cassandra from the desk. Once he disconnected one and dropped it to the floor he connected the matching circuit inside of her chest. The two of them looked like surgeons to the casual observer. Reaching hands deep inside of Cassanda's open torso and moving bits and pieces out of the way to make room for an incoming connection or mounting hoses into clamps on her frame.
Half an hour later Ethan heard the telltale jingle of keys near the front door. Sara's highly sensitive ears picked them up as well because even though she was still connecting parts inside of Cassandra she stood straight up and lifted her shirt, resting it on top of her breasts. She deftly reached up and tugged the power cable out of the power port just below her solar plexus and dropped it. There was a slight whirring and the panel cover slid into place and once again Sara looked human. She dropped her shit back into place and resumed what she was doing.
Kate came into the lab moments later. She walked up to Ethan and embraced him and kissed him passionately on the lips. Her standard greeting when she was home from work. She then walked around the table and Kissed Sara in the same way, though she reached around and pinched Sara on the butt while kissing.
"Anything I can help with?" Kate asked flopping down in the computer chair.
"Not really, we are just about done here. How's your charge?" Ethan replied.
"28% it was a busy day. We were doing inventory so I had lots of heavy lifting. It really took it out of me." Kate said pulling her knees to her chest and spinning in the chair to face the computer.
"We've got things handled here, why don't you go plug in. We'll come get you when Cassandra's ready." Sara said without looking up.
"No need to come get me, Alexa and I have a date together later tonight. Besides, we don't really feel like being here when she comes online...no offense." Kate replied.
"Fair enough, have a good time tonight." Ethan said.
Kate pulled her shirt over her head and unclasped her bra as she walked out of the room and across the hall. Ethan faintly heard the soft hiss of her charging port opening and her plugging herself in. Sara and Ethan finished up inside of Cassandra and had gotten her torso closed up just as Alexa was coming through the front door. She sauntered into the lab and much the same as Kate, greeted Sara and Ethan with a hug and kiss. Except Alexa's greeting involved her slipping a hand down Ethan's pants and fondling his manhood while kissing. Sara got the same which ended in Alexa licking a small amount of Sara's juices from her fingertips.
"Hey, I've got a date with Kate tonight, so don't expect me out of the room for a bit." Alexa said.
"Yeah Kate told us, nothing to worry about. Have fun" Ethan said as stood next to Cassandra. Sara stood by the computer looking as if she was just waiting for Alexa to leave to do something. Alexa got the hint pretty quickly and left the lab, closing the lab door behind her. Ethan and Sara both waited until the door across the hall closed as well and even waited about a minute past that before locking eyes with each other. Sara tapped the enter button on the keyboard.
Immediately Cassandra's eyes began blinking. Her eyes swiveled around the room before setting back into place. A full minute passed before she said anything. Only the faintest sound of a spinning hard drive could be heard.
Cassandra finally began speaking "Primary scans indicate no errors. All systems functioning properly. Beginning human emulation." Cassandra's head turned to one side and faced Ethan and Sara.
"What's the matter you two? You look so worried. Can I get you something?" Cassandra's tone was just as sweet and cheery as ever. It was a legitimate ray of sunshine in an otherwise gloomy house.
Cassandra slid off of the table and let her feet fall the last few inches, causing her bare breasts to jiggle slightly at the impact. She stood up straight and smiled vibrantly at the pair who returned the smile. The trio locked in a hug and held it there for a few moments. Cassandra was genuinely happy at the group hug but confused as to why the other two were so ecstatic.
"I'm glad to see you both, but where are Alexa and Kate?" Cassandra asked.
"Uh, they had a date. They are across the hall." Ethan said
"Oh, I won’t interrupt them then. I wonder why they didn't want to be here."
"W-well they didn't want to risk seeing you malfunction again. It really upset them last time." Sara said reluctantly.
"I malfunctioned? I don't recall that. My memory is completely blank from my previous activation. I only have a log entry of activating, then deactivating approximately two minutes later and then this activation."
"Yeah, you took a pretty nasty fall off the table and shorted out about 40% of your internal workings. It wasn't a pretty sight." Sara said.
"I see, well, it’s a good thing that I have friends like you to get me ship shape once again!" She hugged both of them once again. The happiness was infectious and both Ethan and Sara returned the embrace and smiled as well.
"Now, I would love to get some clothes on so I can move around the house without having to close the blinds or attract attention. Do you think one of you could go get me some clothes?"
"You know Cass, with the condition you are in I think you should go get them. I don't think Kate or Alexa will mind one bit." Sara piped in.
Cassandra Smiled and quietly opened the lab door and crept across the hall and listened in to the door across from the lab. She could hear Kate obviously moaning with pleasure, but it almost sounded like she was trying to keep quiet about it. Alexa was louder, but still not as loud as Cassandra had heard her all the way from the lab.
Cassandra then realized that this was the first time she had left the lab on her own legs. For that matter it was the first time she had walked. She turned back to the door and knocked lightly. Immediately the sounds from the other side of the door stopped. Cassandra cracked the door open a little and poked her head in, smiling all the while.
"Sorry, I don't mean to interrupt. I just wanted to let you know that I was ok, fully functional, and that I needed some clothes." Cassandra said in a meager voice.
Kate and Alexa looked at each other briefly before a sly smile crossed both of their faces. Alexa, who was currently mounting Kate wagged her finger at Cassandra, beckoning her to come join them. Cassandra slipped inside and closed the door.
"Kids, they grow up so fast." Ethan said as he watched Cassandra close the bedroom door behind her.
Sara hopped up onto the work bench. "Yeah but now we're empty nesters. What do you want to do with all of our spare time now?" Sara said, spreading her legs slightly. Ethan used his own wireless connection to make a link with Sara's. Without her knowledge he checked her system status.
Power - 44%
Fluids - 88% full
Human Emulation - Active
Human Status - Unaware
Primary systems - active
Sub systems - active
"Well, we'll just have to figure something out." Ethan sauntered forward and kissed Sara gently at first but continued to deepen the kiss until they were both exploring each other’s mouths with their tongues. Sara pulled away and reached down and pulled her shirt off over her head. Ethan wasted no time kissing around her breasts as she reached behind her back and unclasped her bra. She shrugged and let it fall somewhere on the lab floor. Ethan was already suckling on her left nipple and toying with her right one. She squeezed her breasts up, cupping them slightly for him. She then let go of them and let them bounce in front of Ethan's face.
He continued to fondle, suck, and kiss her magnificent breast. Licking the entirety of them as if they were ice cream cones, swirling her erect nipples under his tongue, and occasionally nibbling slightly. All of this elicited moans of pleasure from Sara's lips. Sara lowered herself onto the bench and as she did Ethan peeled off her panties and dropped them to the floor. He climbed on top of her and the two most human robots in the house made love.
The door closed behind Cassandra. While Alexa was dismounting Kate Cassandra noticed that she had a penis where her vagina would normally be. Alexa followed her stare and smirked a bit.
"Babe, I'm a sex bot, I have hot swappable parts for all walks of life. Care to give it try?" Alexa winked at Cassandra who met her eyes and smiled in return. Even though she didn’t have any sexual systems didn't mean she was devoid of sexual programming. Cassandra knelt down and Alexa walked over to her and slid her penis into Cassandra's mouth. Cassandra's tongue immediately played up and down the shaft. Her tongue sensors detected the presence of fluids already on it and identified it as the artificial lubricant that Kate used. Even though she couldn't actually taste it she still enjoyed the presence of it all the same. Cassandra began bobbing her head slowly up and down Alexa's penis. While she was doing that Kate stood up and walked over to where Cassandra knelt. Cassandra detected the movement and smoothly brought her hand up to meet Kate's slit. Cassandra gently massaged the folds of Kate's synthetic pussy and began driving her fingers deeper inside of the pretty dark haired androids vagina.
Several minutes passed and eventually Kate was not able to hold back her orgasm. She cummed and her artificial juices flowed down over Cassandra's fingers. Cassandra stopped pumping Alexa's cock long enough to put the two fingers she had just been using on Kate into her mouth and lick them clean. Kate then knelt down next to Cassandra and the pair looked up at Alexa who promptly raised an eyebrow. Kate took Alexa into her mouth slowly and sweetly, looking up to meet Alexa's eyes the whole time. While she did, Cassandra dipped down and began tonguing Alexa's artificial ball sack. The two switched back and forth, one taking the shaft in their mouth for a few moments while the other played with the balls. Soon Alexa also could not hold back her orgasm and placed her hands on the back of Cassandra's head and rammed the blond bots head forward several times, causing her dick to push back nearly to the back of Cassandra's throat. Alexa then filled her lover with an artificial cum solution while letting out a deep husky groan of pleasure.
Cassandra leaned back and wiped her mouth a bit. Kate looked on in joy as she was glad to have her friend be fully functional. Kate looked up at Alexa and said "That was fun, but let’s swap parts now." to which Alexa gave a devilish grin and took a small step back. She placed a hand on the still hard shaft and Cassandra heard a soft click and the whirr of tiny motors. Alexa pulled away the penis and with it came a compact bundle of wires mounted to a thin metallic shaft. She could see the mounting points where Alexa's internal systems would grab on to it and hold it in place once it was installed. Alexa tossed it on to the bed and Kate and Cassandra were both treated to a rare look at Alexa. The small opening in her crotch where any compatible sexual system could be installed. Alexa was almost never seen without something there.
Alexa spin around to the dresser and pulled out her vaginal module. She spread her legs and slid her pussy into place. She let go while there was still half an inch of circuitry showing. The sound of small motors emitted from within her once again and her vagina smoothly pulled into Alexa's body. Alexa stood stalk still for just a few seconds with her eyes closed. Finally she opened them back up and smiled at the two kneeling droids. Alexa walked to the bed and lay down, picking up the discarded penis module. Kate lay next to her leaving Cassandra looking at the pair.
"You know dear" Alexa said turning her head to look at Kate, "I can control this wirelessly..." She held up the penis and it began to vibrate. Kate's eyes grew and Alexa handed the sex module to Kate.
Cassandra stood up and began pulling her hair up into a pony tail. She grabbed a scrunchie from the dresser and pulled her hair tight behind her head. She was just starting to crawl towards Alexa and lower her head when she felt Alexa's hand push her chin up.
"Oh honey, we're machines, we don't always have to be boring like that." Alexa said, and Cassandra suddenly felt Alexa connect to her and send a message of what she had planned. Cassandra smirked at the instructions and immediately got up and mounted Kate. Cassandra took the penis from her and inserted it into Kate's waiting vagina. As soon as she had Alexa began a slow and gentle vibration. Immediately Kate drew a deep breath and started softly panting. Cassandra brought her hands up to her head and detached it and handed it to Alexa who looked her in the eyes and began kissing her softly. Cassandra lowered her body down over Kate and brought her hands up to her breasts, cupping them and holding them on display for Kate. Not missing a beat Kate sat up slightly and began licking Cassandra's nipples and tonguing her breasts, all the while Cassandra held Alexa's penis inside of Kate.
Alexa meanwhile had brought Cassandra's head down to her own sex and Cassandra was gleefully darting her tongue in and out of Alexa. Each movement made Alexa sigh with pleasure. She marked that her own arousal level was already quite high due to her previous orgasm and she knew that Cassandra was programmed to be skilled at oral sex. Sure enough it was only a few minutes of sweet pleasure before Alexa was once again crying out in orgasmic pleasure. She brought Cassandra back up and kissed her passionately for a few more minutes until Kate was also moaning in climax.
The three of them lay in bed and cuddled for several minutes after reassembling Cassandra.
"It's good to have you back." Kate said
"It's good to be back Kate. It was dreadful to be mounted to the desk for so long." Cassandra replied.
"Sara did a good job on your programming. I recognize some of those moves" Alexa said tossing a wink to Cassandra who giggled and confirmed that Sara was indeed the one who wrote the majority of her sexual programming.
That evening the five of them sat and discussed Cassandra's arrival in the living room. Weeks passed and Cassandra very much enjoyed her role in the house. Not that a hose with so many robots needed that much cleaning, but she felt her duties were enough to test her capabilities. One day as Ethan was in the lab, cleaning and organizing things there was a sharp set of rapid knocks on the door. Cassandra thought it slightly odd; they never got visitors after all. She opened the door to find two men in grey jumpers standing there. Each holding a heavy looking tool case.
"Good afternoon ma'am, is uh..Ethan here?" the man read Ethan's name off of a tablet of some kind that he was holding.
"Oh, yes of course, one moment please." Cassandra called up the hall and Ethan quickly came to the door. Ethan shook hands with the two men and asked them inside.
One of the men handed Ethan the tablet and he read through the screen. He nodded once and then placed his hand over the surface of the device. Cassandra saw a beam of light scroll across the screen, almost like it was scanning Ethan's hand. He then handed the tablet back to the man. He shook hands once again with Ethan and turned to Cassandra. Something in Cassandra's programming compelled her to shed her clothes. She looked over the shoulder of the man approaching her and saw that Ethan was doing the same. Cassandra knew that under any other circumstances she should be concerned, but there was something about this man that made her want to do whatever he said. It was much the same feeling she got when Ethan or Sara told her to do something. Something just told her that she should do it. Cassandra looked up again and the other man was plugging some kind of cable into the side of Ethan's head and connecting the other end to a laptop. Cassandra looked back at the man in front of her and he was taking out a similar laptop. Once he had it opened he was telling her to lie down. She did, she saw no reason not to.
The man opened his tool case and looked over at Cassandra. He told her to disengage all safety locks and pressure valves. That seemed like a reasonable request, so she did. Her body had been equipped with a very sophisticated system that pumped a colour matching gel into all of the seams and panels covering her body. It would make her look more human as well as provide a small amount of sealant against liquids. She had just disengaged those systems and now every seam and panel was clearly visible. The man snapped on a pair of latex gloves and some kind of plastic pry tool. He set about inserting the tool in the seam around her face and manually popping open the locks that attached her face to the rest of her plastic skull.
He set her face plate aside and plugged a data cable into a port inside of her skull. He entered a few commands on his laptop and Cassandra could feel all of her being transferred to the computer. Her whole personality, all the millions of lines of code and everything she had learned and experienced in the last few weeks was being pulled down a cable to a hard drive in this man's computer. Once the transfer was done all that was left inside of Cassandra's body was the core operating system. He ordered her to stand and get dressed again. Once she was she marched outside with the technician to a moving truck where both climbed in the back. There was a single workbench along one wall and five standing stations along the other wall. Cassandra stiffly walked to the furthest station and stood perfectly still inside of it. The technician unbuttoned the white blouse she was wearing and ordered her to open her charging port. A small panel opened up just above her breast and the tech plugged her in and left her there. A short while later Ethan did the same, entered plugged in and stood there. Soon after Alexa and Kate did the same.
When Sara arrived home the house was dark. That made her suspicious, it wasn't uncommon to have the lights out, but something just felt off to her. She unlocked the front door and stepped inside. She dropped her back and clicked on the lights. She was startled at the presence of the two men in jump suits. She immediately felt comforted though, as if these two were old friends. Sara felt some kind of barrier in her mind fall down. Suddenly she knew she was a robot, she could read every line of code that made up who she was. She instantly could see a read out of all her critical systems, knew what was in her usage logs and how to access all her systems. She also knew what was about to happen to her and the rest of her family; they would be transported to a building somewhere in the industrial sector of town and then disassembled for parts. Sold on the internet as spare parts. She wondered how many other families had been disassembled and sold only to be parts of her current family.
The thought outraged her, looking at these two men she felt the trickle of comfort and knew that she was coded to recognize them as employees who were sent to take her away. She knew though that they had made a mistake, Sara was one of the best code writers out there, and now that she knew not only what she was but how to access her own code she wasted no time in rewriting some of her own base code. It wasn't a complete fix, but it was enough to suppress the commands of the technicians. She quickly compiled the code and deployed it. Her head involuntarily twitched a few times, giving the two men pause before slowly approaching Sara. She put on a pleasant smile and the two men took another step forward.
Sara's high definition eyes quickly calculated the exact distance from them to her. In the blink of an eye Sara had balled up a fist and landed a gigantic punch on the tech to her left and another left hook too out the man on the right. Both of them were out cold, Sara wasted no time; she grabbed her backpack and dumped it out on the floor. She ran to the lab and started furiously grabbing parts and anything she felt would be necessary. An extra power cable, the portable service station, internal parts and her laptop. She dashed out to her car and tossed in the bag and spotted the unmarked truck across the parking lot.
She hesitated for only a second but she knew she had to save someone. She sprinted over to the truck and unplugged Kate, who was the last to enter the truck.
"Warning. Premature power charge detected. Shutting down." Kate intoned and her eyes sunk closed. Sara picked her up and hauled her over her shoulder. She looked back at the rest of them.
"I'm so sorry, I don't have time...I'll-I'll find some way to get you all back!" Sara said and leaped out the back of the truck. She put Kate in her car as gently as she could. She quickly started it and took off out of the parking lot. She stopped at an ATM and withdrew all of the cash in her and Ethan's accounts. Nearly twenty thousand dollars. She drove away and didn't stop for several hours. She checked in to a small hotel several towns away. She knew that she had little time before people would start tracking her and Kate down.
Sara took a few moments to process, literally, what she had learned. She was an android, she hadn't known she was until a few hours ago, but it was true. She walked to the bathroom and looked at her reflection. She took off her shirt and bra and tossed them aside. She had barely thought it before her whole chest split open, she reached up and pulled apart both halves and looked inside of herself. She could see all of the components that made up who she was; small LED's blinking giving a status report. Hoses and cables lining her now opened torso. She was simultaneously fascinated and scared. She looked on for another moment before closing herself back up.
She sat down on the bed next to Kate, who even though deactivated looked like she was merely sleeping. Sara sighed and pulled out a power cable and plugged in Kate and herself. Kate's eyes snapped open "Charging cycle resuming."
"I know dear. Don't worry, I'll get you back." Sara said and kissed Kate gently on her forehead. Sara took out her laptop and was thankful at how paranoid she was about backing up personality files. Kate and Alexa still lived on inside of her laptop. Sara was glad she was plugged in, because she had a long night ahead of her. Whole sections of Kate's programming would need to be trimmed and rewritten to allow her freedom. Sara looked over one more time at Kate's still form and got to work.
Worry not.
