"Hey, Chester, I'm curious about your biomass furnace and other modifications."

"Can you specify. Which modification interests you. The most?"

"I guess all of them?"

"I understand your curiosity. My modifications were made shortly. After I was commissioned. These include. Biomass furnace and digestive tract tubes. Fully customizable visual sensor pieces. Anti-corrosive liquid coat skin dispensers. Ultra-flexible leg servos. And intra-and-ultrasound pyramidal headpiece sensors."

"Pyramidal headpiece sensors?"

"Cat ears." Agustina points at Chester's head.

Chester's head goes 'fwump' and two cat-ears spring up from his hair.

"This helps. Detect acoustic anomalies. And potential non-human threats to Miss Akrylla's safety. As well as listening and radio devices. That might be hidden in vicinity." With a quiet 'shwip' the cat ears recede into Chester's head.

"The rest are also very useful outside of combat duties."

"How so?" Agustina smiles, while Chester leans forward. His eyes rapidly change from pitch-black to human irises, emerald, dark blue, golden, purple - and back to full black.

"My eyes can be modified. For certain color combinations. Or even minor lightning effects. To mimic fashion trends in locales. That we might be visiting during our travels. The biomass furnace and digestive tract tubes. Allow me to mimicry food and drink consumption. During formal and informal celebrations. That I have to be present at when Miss Akrylla is personally attending. The anti-corrosion liquid. Lets me deal with onboard ship repairs. That might be otherwise too dangerous. For Miss Akrylla to handle personally."

"And the leg servos? He can dance better than any guy I met so far."

"Out of personal interest. I have downloaded. Movement patterns. For over six thousand different. Common dances still in use. Starting from Old Earth era. To the current Universal Space Year. Just in case Miss Akrylla. Is left without a dancing partner. When a situation calls for one."

Smiling still, Agustina sets down her tank, almost devoid of Rat Oil.

"Alright, now I would like one Amiobic Tea, if you don't mind." You nod - and discover that fortunately, your connection to SRC has been maintained.

You excuse yourself to check the sensor ping.

All the console had to give you was a notification that the Black Dragon of Angierach has undocked from the station and is headed towards Madagascar Jump Gate.

You return to your current clientele. Both Chester and Agustina are slowly enjoying their drinks.

You could strike up a conversation with...

A) Chester, about his life as android!
B) Chester and Agustina, about their work relationship!
C) Agustina, about her family and status!
D) Agustina, about her job and her cargo ship!
E) ...on other hand, let them just relax.

"So the ID chip shown me that you're a... heiress?" Agustina sighs.

"Heiress to the lordship of Beta Copernicus IVb, a small terraformed moon full of tritanite deposits." You briefly consider the charter of New Galactic Federation.

"As far as I know, there's no place for aristocracy in the democratic model of the Federation." Agustina grimaces, grits her teeth, and downs the remainder of her drink.

"My family was ruling that moon since the Collapse! They've treated their servants and population well, and even managed to keep them out of the enslaving reach of the EXO-Lumina, and for what? Only for the Federal Council to butt in, tell my parents that monarchy is bad, and that they were to get out. Could you imagine that? So my old man gets into negotiating our priviledges and there was a damn plebiscite and everything." Agustina grumbles.

"Bweugh, barkeep, get me something strong first! I'm not gonna discuss this sober." Chester eyes you warily after his escortee makes her request.

Strong? What could she mean by that?

Fiery and bitter? Fiery and spicy??
