Heart: Their purpose in life is to give people hugs & heart-shaped items <3 (they also have stretchy arms & legs & act like a nice, old grandma).
Connect: The 2 robots need each other to live. If they get separated, they’ll lose power & die (the tubes connecting them are also vital to their lifespan).
Lost: They lost their right leg & use a big stick to walk properly.
Key: (they’re the size of the avg. human hand) their arms can twist into any kind of key & when you stab their legs into a code or key card lock, they’ll hack the lock so you can get to your destination.
Beacon: They use their dills & feet to mine out ores to fuel the beacon on their head. When it’s at full charge, they’ll fire it at their opponent like a huge laser beam (they can also turn it on & off at will).

Monster March 2023 Day 6- Android/Robot/Cyborg- Part 1
Tumblr media
How many star trek references can I squeeze into this? Because I was practically raised on Star Trek Next Generation with Jean-Luc Picard. And I tried REALLY hard not to make this a Data fanfic. I really did. But I just...it could not be helped. Because as I was writing this all I heard was Brent Spiner's voice as Data whenever Oliver's dialog came up. But I obviously had way too much fun with this anyway. Part 1 is SFW, part 2 will be NSFW, just, heads up.
As always thanks to @borealwrites for their Monster March 2023 prompt list. And of course thanks to @catbatart for their's too in years past. Enjoy.
Monster March Day 6- Robot/Android/Cyborg
Aftermarket Attachments
Part 1
Recalibration 
Oliver walked purposefully towards what he assumed was a crewman for the Skylight. The ship that was docked just outside matched the description he had looked up and it was docked at the correct docking station in the skyport. He needed to get another job on another ship and to see this pop up only minutes ago, he jumped at the chance to apply because if he had to weather one more prank- short circuiting his own circuitry he was going to power down for good. And he wasn’t surprised when he and about a thousand others applied for the 4 open positions. But he hoped that himself being an android would not be met with a bias. Thinking that he was something to be exploited and abused. But judging from the comments based on the sellers and from former crew members, he would be lucky to get a spot on this ship. 
“Hello, I’m Oliver, I’d like to apply to the cargo hold assistant.” He said as he handed in his resume on a standard data pad to the person who seemed to be in charge from the way they were directing what should go where into the cargo hold while also dealing with the various “customers” who came to accept their shipments while others were coming to send shipments as well, all of them in various areas of the loading bay with their cargo, leaving just her to coordinate from where she was. 
“Well hello Oliver, I’m Captain Leah of the Skylight, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” She smiled as she shook his hand and then took his offered data pad from him as Oliver didn’t think he had ever met a captain who wasn’t sitting down and barking orders. But here Leah was, sitting on a crate with a bottled drink on one side and her various other gadgets around her while her prehensile tail guarded the point of sale terminal and currency box. It's venomous spikes warding off anyone thinking of taking off with it. Captain Leah was a trigaxian! Or at least a trigaxian hybrid because she looked like a humanoid and trigaxian hybrid. He had only ever seen trigaxians as very fierce and brutal warriors. Who were the best hunters in the universe. But to see a female, especially a hybrid and one that was a captain and so…nice and sweet and even pleasant was quite the surprise. 
All while others seemed to work to get stuff off and get new cargo on as she took care of payments and pick ups and drop offs. And even Oliver could see other robots and androids, granted not as new as him, but they looked like they had been well cared for and maintained and were treated with courtesy. 
“So, Oliver, what’s your lift…oh I see you already put all of your specs and upgrades on your resume. That’s very convenient and helpful, thank you.” Leah thanked him as she took it from him and read it over. 
“So, Oliver. I see that you actually have a self-sustaining circuitry so you won’t need to charge?” Leah asked as she read it over. 
“Well I do require the occasional recalibration and updates to my software, otherwise, yes, I’m pretty self sufficient as far as energy supply goes.” Oliver answered. 
“Awesome. That will work out. And so what were you looking for in terms of payment?” Leah asked. 
“Credits for further upgrades and updates and operating systems and data bank storage.” Oliver answered. 
“And how many credits a week would you be needing to earn?” Leah asked. 
“Fifteen hundred.” Oliver answered, half expecting her to balk at such a number. But he was willing to accept half of that, just to get off his current vessel. But that was the standard rate, according to what he had looked up. 
“I can definitely do that. What will you need as far as personal quarters?” Leah asked. 
“Oh, a standard crew cabin will be perfectly adequate.” He answered. 
“Ok. Well, will you submit for a scan and inspection?” She asked hopefully. 
“Yes.” Oliver readily agreed. 
“And why are you leaving your last post?” Leah asked. 
“Exploitation and abuse in the form of hazing and pranks.” He answered. 
“Oh- on the Briggadeen, yikes. I can’t imagine. That captain and his crew are particularly rough. I’m so sorry. Well, hopefully here, you’ll fare better because there is a zero tolerance policy for that sort of thing on this ship.” Leah offered. 
“Well let's get you inspected, make sure you’re not carrying any secret malware or anything ok?” Leah offered. 
“Izzy, you’re in charge, I have to do an inspection of a potential new hire.” Leah said to another who nodded in understanding before she took over the other data pad from her before Leah let go of the terminal as well as the currency box before she slid from the crate and up to her full 7 foot height as Oliver realized just how statuesque she was. Like all those alien goddesses his old crew had claimed could be among the stars, and if he had been mortal, he was sure his heart would have been beating just as his fast as his circuitry currently was firing off at. 
“Follow me please.” Leah invited before Oliver followed her into the ship as she wound gracefully through the halls to engineering. 
“Miss Tabickti. I have a potential new hire, I need a diagnostic please.” Leah requested as her head looked up at the ceiling to a darker corner before a being slinked down from the ceiling, as Oliver hadn’t noticed was more or less a nest up there. It was quavorikian! They were masters at engineering and technology. But very secretive and elusive. 
“Hmm, O-Lite-775 model. In datastream aquamarine.” Tabi noted as she roamed all around him before two tiny little forehands emerged to inspect his form better looking at the wear and tear of this outer covering. 
“His name is Oliver and he’s on the Briggadeen right now. Please tell me we can find a way to get him off of that.” Leah offered. 
“Oh by the Six. You poor thing. Is that why you have all your hatches all practically glued shut?” Tabi asked. 
“Yes.” Oliver confirmed. 
“Well, in order to do a full inspection, I’m going to have to dissolve the glue.” Tabi informed him. 
“I’ll buy new locking hatches if the usual locking mechanisms are gummed up by the glue.” Leah offered which got Tabi to smile. 
“Oh, you shouldn’t need to…” Oliver began to argue with Leah. 
“Oliver. You just survived the last 16 months on one of the worst ships under one of the worst captains I know of. Let me guess, they thought short circuiting you would be funny?” Leah asked. 
“Yes.” Oliver confirmed sheepishly. 
“Well you have already had to pay a very high price to your physical person for that. On this ship, all forms of life, whether organic or artificial are seen as equals. Think of this as healthcare. And you are entitled to good healthcare.” Leah insisted and if Oliver could cry, he would be right about now. 
“Thank you.” He offered as Leah put his data pad down and pulled up another and began ordering new parts, and even new after market upgrades for him as she scanned his chip and automatically sent a “payment” to the captain of the Briggadeen for the safe and intact delivery of all of Oliver’s things. Because if that bastard respected one thing- it was money. And she added that she would be sending envoys to make sure that Oliver could collect his things in peace and without issue with an extra bribe before he readily and gladly sent over all of Oliver’s licenses before Leah blew out a breath of relief and hoped there wouldn’t be any further issue with Oliver’s transition. 
“Come in here please, disrobe for further inspection please.” Tabi invited before he went into a large cylinder that closed on him and was frosted over to preserve any “modesty” he may have which he gladly did before a series of gasses and various soaps were applied and a sponge was offered and Oliver tried not to moan to use it all over and practically went through a few gallons worth of special soaps and he nearly moaned in relief to feel so divinely clean again as he got to clean areas of himself he hadn’t been able to clean before. Then once that was done, Leah handed him a fresh and clean hospital gown to put on before they went any further. 
“Thank you.” He thanked her gratefully as he put it on.  
“You’re welcome. Feel better?” Leah asked. 
“Much.” Oliver answered. 
“Good, can you get on this table please Oliver?” Leah asked as she gestured to a special bed specifically made to cater to various robots, androids and cyborgs. 
“Now lets get this gunky glue off.” Tabi offered as she used special little q-tips and a special solution to dissolve the now hardened glue while Leah pulled up a special stool as did Tabi so they could go through him from head to toe thoroughly. 
Tabi and Leah must have spent the better part of an hour dissolving the glue and piece by piece, and hatch by hatch- to do what they could to both clean and fix as they went. And while usually, such a thing would make Oliver worry, he actually felt perfectly safe lying here and letting himself be so vulnerable. Because as far as first impressions went, he, despite being an android, had a sense that he was safe to do so with these two- obviously caring beings. 
Once they finally got everything squared away, that’s when Tabi hooked him up to various interfaces. 
“Oh my goodness they fragmented your hard drive! The whole thing! Those bastards. Why I oughta cram a lazer gun up their digestive holes and fire away and see how they like it.” Tabi growled dangerously. 
“We can defragment it and make sure that there’s no malware or ransomware.” Leah calmly instructed Tabi while she reassured Oliver with a soft pat on his shoulder.  
“Knowing the Briggadeen? I’ll bet you there’s at least two dozen of each.” Tabi snipped. 
“Poor Oliver, you probably couldn’t get a second of peace or rest because when they weren’t working you into bits, they were probably tormenting you. Thinking you were just some big toy to play with.” Leah consoled Oliver. 
“Yes.” Oliver confirmed. 
“Well you’re with us and on the Skylight now. So never again ok?” Leah offered. 
“You mean I’m hired?” Oliver asked. 
“Oh yeah. I couldn’t live with myself if I turned you back over to those brutes.” Leah reassured him. 
“Thank you Captain.” Oliver offered. 
“You’re welcome Ensign.” Leah grinned comfortingly before Tabi got all of the processes cued up to work simultaneously. 
“Ok, now, this will take a while to do, you could power down into sleep mode if you wanted to. Or do you want to stay awake?” Leah asked as Oliver hesitated to answer. 
“I promise, you’re safe here, no one will mess with you or do you any harm here.” Leah offered. 
“And her word is as good as latinum.” Tabi offered. 
“Thank you. So much. Yes, I will power down to sleep.” Oliver said before he allowed himself to fall asleep for the first time in over a year. 
Leah and Tabi then called in two more crew members to help them with Oliver’s rework and full inspection as they were gratefully able to use the hospital gown to get at everything before they noticed that his free will and free choice settings had been tampered with to make him more docile and compliant as those were the first settings to go back to factory reset and recalibration. So that he could comply or refuse as he pleased. 
Then- his new parts started to arrive in bundles as Thrunk practically did nothing but deliveries from the cargo bay to engineering as they went ahead and replaced all the worn out pieces of covering and not only defragmented his hard drive and databanks and cleared him of any malware and ransomware so that he was no longer harmful to himself or to others. 
Then they added more memory and more data banks and increased his data streaming ability and gave him every upgrade they could think of so that he’d feel like a whole new android when he would wake up. They added extra security features and heavy duty everything when they saw how even the shafts making up his limbs had hairline fractures from overuse and attempts to move more than he was originally designed to do and carry. But with the upgrades, now he was probably the strongest he could ever be, the safest he could ever be and able to be more than he might have felt he could be before. 
“Those sick bastards.” Leah nearly hurled as she cleaned out the dried out cum in the one hole those sick fucks could get to- where his genitalia, which was it’s own extra attachment- could be attached as she wondered what they must have done to it for him to not even have it attached anymore. 
“Give that to me, I’m gonna go file a report as if this was a rape case.” Sisti demanded before Leah gladly handed it over in some gauze she had been using to deep clean him. 
“Please do, I’ll sign off on it.” Leah offered. 
“Well, I’m sorry girls, I was trying to save for us to get a bonus, but Oliver…” Leah began to apologize. 
“Don’t you dare apologize. You pay us plenty. I’m just happy we could practically rescue him.” Tabickti insisted. 
“Agreed. And based on his past experiences, I think he’ll be happy to make it up to you ten or even a hundred fold. Cause we’ve needed something just like him for a while.” Sisti offered. 
“And like you said, this is his healthcare. You always remind us to practice self care. He hasn’t been able to practice it in a long time. So he’s overdue and he’s owed this. You always want us to start with our best feet forward. The least we can do is help him do the same.” Tabi urged her captain and friend. 
“Well, he’s going to need an escort to get the rest of his things.” Leah offered before all three other crew members immediately volunteered to do so. 
“Thank you.” Leah thanked them all and paused to give them all side hugs before they continued to get back to work on Oliver. 
“So which cabin are you gonna put him in?” Tabi asked. 
“I’ll let him pick his own cabin. There’s four to choose from still, and I want to make sure he fully integrates before I hire any others.” Leah offered. 
“Good call.” Sisti nodded in agreement. 
“Ok, and we’re done.” Tabi announced as the last of the processes ran and everything was installed, including all the current updates for all of his operating systems. 
“Ok, let's back up, give him some breathing room.” Leah urged before the others stepped back and she came over and tapped on his forehead three times in the center of his forehead to wake him up. 
Oliver’s eyes opened and he frowned when he did systems check to find…peace. Just…perfect calm, order, function and no alarms or warnings about anything. 
“Hello Ensign Oliver. How was your nap?” Leah asked. 
“Very well, what…what happened?” He asked as he continued to adjust to the changes.  
“Tabi will tell you all of that, why don’t you sit up. I have more crew members to introduce you to.” Leah said as she offered him her hand to help him sit up before her other hand gently went to his back to help him sit up as if he was any other organic life form. 
“So this is my Subcammander Sistictch…” Leah began as she introduced everyone else in there before directing his focus to Tabi who gave him a jist of what she had done before she and Leah walked him through what they had done to his form and his systems. 
“How much…how long..” Oliver couldn’t decide what to ask. 
“You don’t owe me anything and I will not contract you out to work for free. This is just normal and routine maintenance. And something I was happy to do. However, you did lowball yourself when we talked last. So insist on paying you 2500 credits a week. Because that’s the base pay here. I just hope you’ll forgive us if we took too many liberties with your coverings or your other systems or form.” Leah reassured him. 
“No such forgiveness is warranted, I am instead very grateful for…everything, all of it.” Oliver offered as he wanted to install tear ducts just so that he could emote from crying to show the organic life forms just how much this meant to him. But the looks Leah and the others gave him told him that they understood and sympathized and empathized with him. 
“You’re welcome. And just so you know, you could walk off the ship right now. And go to work at any other ship with any other crew right now if you wanted to. Even if you just wanted to try out for a few days or a week or however long you want it to be. I’m just sorry you weren’t properly cared for or maintained in the past. But I want you to know, that if you wish to stay. Expect the same level of care that you received today to be maintained ok?” Leah offered. 
“Understood Captain.” Oliver nodded, and if he could cry, he would be practically sobbing in gratitude right now.
“So, when can I start working?” Oliver asked. 
“As soon as you want. But these two will escort you back to the Brigadeen to collect any personal affects or anything that you may have left behind on that ship. And then once you are done with that, then you can pick out your cabin, there’s four to choose from. And then once you get settled, we’ll work out when and where your shifts on the ship will be ok?” Leah offered. 
“Yes Captain.” Oliver nodded. 
“Ok, first, get dressed in these. And then go, ok?” Leah offred as she handed him a set of the uniform, freshly cleaned and laundered to fit his already tall and broad 6 foot frame. 
“Yes, Captain.” Oliver nodded happily and stood up and took off his hospital gown before all four crewman immediately turned away from him. 
“Why do you turn around?” Oliver asked. 
“To preserve your modesty Oliver.” Leah answered. 
“Oh.” Oliver blinked and simply shrugged but had to stop and marvel at his new coverings. He looked better than he did when he first came out of his box! 
“You replaced my coverings!” Oliver cheered happily. 
“We did. You wore through the last set of limbs, especially the feet and palms of your hands and fingertips. I hope you don’t mind.” Tabi offered. 
“No, I’m eternally grateful for this. I look and…I feel…better than brand new!” Oliver marveled at himself. 
“And we noticed that parts of your anatomy were missing and not installed so we ordered replacements and they will be here tomorrow.” Leah supplied. 
“Oh, no need, Captain. The part of my anatomy that is not attached, is still in its case in my box.” Oliver supplied. 
“Well, it’s always a good idea to have a back up and spare anyway.” Tabi offered as she was already climbing back up into her nest in the corner.
“That is wise.” Oliver nodded. 
“I have finished dressing Captain, you may all turn around now if you wish.” Oliver invited before the three remaining crewman turned to face him again. 
“Now you look like the perfect ensign. When you come back we can get you synced with the ship and the rest of us, because we all have some cybernetics to a degree ok?” Leah praised.  
“Understood Captain.” He nodded. 
“Make an impression.” Leah urged the other two larger crewman, who were already gearing up and armoring up and if Oliver thought Leah was impressive, these were pretty close to being the alien warrior goddesses his last crew used to praise about conquering in their own way too. 
“Yes Ma’am.” They beamed happily. 
“And lets get you fitted out too.” Sisti urged as she put a utility tool belt around his waist and equipped him accordingly and then got him to put on some socks and shoes and other accessories before putting on a communicator as well before the three of them linked their own cybernetics up to him. 
“Ok, lets go.” Sisti insisted before the three of them walked together out of there before they escorted him to the Brigadeen to get the rest of his personal belongings while Leah went back to getting their other usual cargo sorted. 
They came back, not even a half hour later with a single box the size of a coffin, which Leah and the others recognized was probably his own box he was originally shipped out in, modified to be his “home box”. 
“Which quarters will be mine, Captain?” Oliver asked Leah. 
“Any of them that you want. I’m in the captain's quarters. There’s four other crew quarters open. Pick any one that you want.” Leah offered before she went back to reorganizing things in her cargo hold from getting supplies in all day. 
Oliver looked over the available crew cabins with Sesti and chose the one right across from the captain’s own quarters. 
It was clean, bare, with minimal furnishings, but still- remarkably clean. Oliver was relieved and grateful when the port to link with the ship was clean and undamaged. He was also delighted when the cabin was more than enough space to neatly store all the things he had accumulated over the years. And the ship’s databanks were filled with all sorts of interesting information. And music! So much music! Everything, for being a bit dated, was gorgeously and practically meticulously curated. He had really lucked out. Syncing with the ship was practically instantaneous, and from there, syncing with the other crew members and once he claimed his quarters, they seemed to change themselves slightly to be more suitable to an android and the shower was soon fitted out with new items to clean his exterior best and would not cause harm to his otherwise mechanical and digital nature. 
And the ship herself was something of a marvel. And seemed to have a personality and a consciousness of her own, a little quirky here and there, as many ships often did. But he mused he and the ship’s crew and Leah would get along very well as for the first time since his own unboxing, he actually felt he belonged where he was. 
He went back to the cargo hold and was happy to assist Captain Leah and the other crew members in moving the larger and heavier cargo where they wanted. Leah and her crew were so nice too. So polite, always saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ and the tone of Leah’s voice was both authoritative but not harsh or domineering in the least. If anything, she was one of those authority figures who did the work right alongside others as a way of leading by example. Which Oliver profoundly respected and even admired. 
And while there were only a handful of other crew members. Everyone seemed to be getting along nicely, often joking and laughing while they worked and everyone else was happy to meet him and pleasant. How he had managed to luck out on this ship with this crew was practically a miracle. He appreciated that they all had cybernetics and thus, were in a way all connected to each other and to a degree, himself. So that everyone was, to a degree, a bit cyborg themselves. So him being an android was not an issue at all. They had many robots, and other artificial life forms. If anything, his upgrades and improvements were immediately recognized, praised and encouraged. He even got sent a series of catalogs that many of them used. And to a degree, Oliver almost felt like this was too good to be true. Because usually, the more crew members on a ship, the more potential for conflict. But, surprisingly, not here. And before he knew it, they were done, the cargo hold was full and secured and all payments were given in.  
“Ok, that’s it. We’re gonna spend the next couple of days in port and get more runs scheduled and then we’ll leave ok?” Leah announced as she immediately used the downpayment to pay them all right there and then. As Oliver was shocked to see he now had 2500 credits in additional to another 10,000 as a “sign on bonus” with no other small print infested with virus’ to read. He however was both the cargo hold assistant, but also simply assigned as a new crew member. He had no idea what he would ever want to spend that kind of credits on or where he would even go as many of the crew members were already eager to go into port to spend their hard earned credits on what they wanted or needed. 
Which just left Oliver to simply sit in his quarters and simply stare, rather blankly yet in shock that he was officially “off the clock” and wouldn’t have to check in for a shift until two whole days from now as he just replayed the events over in his memory, appreciating every detail of each interaction. 
‘Wait 14 days.’ The ship offered before Oliver remembered that he was synced to the ship and apparently the ship herself, had a consciousness that was capable of interacting with. 
“What?” Oliver asked. 
‘All of the organic life forms on this ship- are female. Despite their different species, they have all synchronized their reproductive cycles. This is the week where everyone gets along. In 12 days, the first will begin her reproductive cycles and then the others will follow. Many skirmishes and conflicts will happen. Do not be distressed. It will last 5-9 days. And then things will return to what they are now.’ The ship explained. 
“Oh.” Oliver nodded in understanding before there was a small beep that noted that he had a caller. 
“Enter.” Oliver said before the doors opened to reveal Leah there, still a stack of datapads in her arm before she gave him his original data pad back before she gave him an another one that was more or less for him to keep track of his shifts and training and even to send communications to whoever he wanted.
“So? How are you settling in?” Leah asked. 
“Very well. The room is quite clean and spacious.” Oliver praised. 
“Good. We like to keep a pretty clean and tight ship here. So, have you gone around and met the rest of the crew?” She asked. 
“I believe so.” Oliver nodded. 
“So real quick, I want to give you- a heads up.” Leah began. 
“Oh the ship already told me that all of the organic crew members are female and that they’ll all be going into a reproductive cycle in two weeks.” He supplied as Leah’s cheeks blushed but she couldn’t stop from giving the speakers in the ceiling a meaningful look. 
“Well, yes. Oliver, I wanted to warn you, that should you install your male genitalia for your form- you may be offered to partake in mating rituals with the other crew members. I wanted to let you know, that that is your choice, and that that is completely up to you. Do not feel that just because you’re the newest addition to the crew, in order to be well received among the crew that you have to partake in any of that. Because we’ve had other androids before feel compelled to comply. And I did not want you to feel that you should be compelled to do anything in your personal and private time when you are not working your shift, that you do not fully willingly and happily want to do. Ok? I like to think I run a pretty relaxed atmosphere, even while working. We transport cargo. We’re not on any life saving missions here or that we are transporting organs for organ transplants or stuff like that. But I do expect every crew member to do their part to help the ship run smoothly.” Leah gently warned him. 
“Oh. Is that why I’m one of the few male presenting crew members?” He asked. 
“Well it’s not that there is a bias against other organic life form crew members who chose to present as male or are simply born that way. Most of the organic male crew members never seem to last too long, Most don’t even last a full solar year.” Leah regretfully informed him. 
“Why?” Oliver asked with a tilt of his head. 
“Because, so far, most become overwhelmed by the various hormones and pheromones in the air and it can be very hard for them to function without kicking themselves into full mating mode and can’t or sometimes won’t break out of it. I have invested in every air filtration system possible and I do everything I can to keep the ship and especially the air as clean as I can. But there is only so much I can do to ensure the safety and security of my crew first and foremost and then of course my cargo. Which is why we have the extra open cabins, because I tried to hire more males who were very qualified and very driven. But the moment the ship left dock, it didn’t even take an hour before copulation between team members started and it didn’t end even after we docked again and it ended up causing a lot of complications and even damage to the ship.” Leah explained with an apologetic look. 
“Oh. I see. So you were hoping that because I’m an artificial and inorganic life form that I will not have the same pattern of behavior?” Oliver realized. 
“To a degree yes, but I wanted to make sure that you understood that you had that freedom to either engage or refrain at your preference and discretion, but that such activities while on shift are not acceptable behavior in general.” Leah confirmed. 
“Understood Captain.” Oliver answered. 
“If you have any other questions or concerns or requests, please don’t hesitate to ask ok? I may be the captain but I try my best to be reasonable and accommodating.” She invited before she left his quarters, leaving Oliver to simply stand there as his own artificial mind mulled and replayed that interaction back to make sure he understood the entire conversation. 
And once he had fully processed that, he decided to actually take out that particular attachment. It was still in its box, because he had never thought about attaching it before and then once he knew he could, he did not wish to for fear of what the others on his previous crews would have done to it. 
But he didn’t get it out of the box. Simply to make sure it was there. But, he didn’t bother to attach it to make sure it worked. Because he had no reason to think it wouldn’t. 
The next day, it seemed Leah did nothing but hold other interviews before she finally picked three more crewman, filing through a near limitless supply of candidates and to his relief and delight, they were also kind and courteous to him. 
And when they all regathered to leave, he was happy to be used on the bridge, as he received training in all of the stations during his shift, which, for himself being an android was much easier for him to master as he quickly got certified and cleared. In fact over the next week, he had a shift in every area of the ship. From the med-bay to engineering to weapons to even cleaning and sanitation. He got to work with everyone on everything and once he was cleared and had worked and to a degree- inspected every inch of the ship he could, did he receive command codes so that, in the case of any other being incapacitated, he could step in and take over and take command of the ship and- follow the protocols or choose to ignore them if it meant saving the lives of his fellow crewmates. As even the captain, always chose the safety and wellbeing of her crew over the cargo. And he was happy when the ship carried special insurance both for the ship, the crew and himself. As such an insurance policy was used to bring him back to full working and functional order and then some. And much of Captain Leah’s overhead was used up in such insurances and “healthcare” of her crew, no matter who or what they were. Which he, again, was so grateful and relieved to have.
