In Space, No One Can Hear You Climax
The battleship Daisy, 30,000 tons of nano-armor and weaponry that was widely regarded as the most dangerous vessel ever constructed, spun a lazy orbit around a barren looking world. Inside, the ships AI waited patiently for her crew to return from the surface of the barely-hospitable rock. At the airlock to the ship, a holographic projection of the living computer construct hovered above the projector with her arms crossed, tapping her foot as she stared at the hull. She wasn't idle of course. If anyone had been there to watch they would have seen the projected female's eyes tracking some unknown object beyond the hull. Several hundred subroutines also ran, monitoring lightyears of space around the ship for potential threats. Overseeing the nano-reclamation factories inside as they produced anything the crew might need at a molecular level. As well as scanning everything within range for a possible genetic compatibility with human DNA.
The reason such a well armed vessel of the Human Defense Fleet was so far out in space looking for nonmilitary targets was simple, if tragic. Daisy was the byproduct of a xenocidal war between humans and an alien species. The human race had eradicated the aggressive aliens, but no one would say they had won the war. The enemies last weapon against humanity had been the femino virus. Infectious down to the DNA of every last man woman and child, the virus had killed off all females. Faced with their extinction, mankind had sent their vast armadas to search the infinite galaxy for a species that would accept human DNA, allowing homo sapiens to continue in spite of their enemies best efforts. A possible bio-match was what had the biological members of Daisy's crew investigating the surface of the planet now.
As Daisy waited, her eyes momentarily flicked to the side as if distracted by something. A small smile of satisfaction formed as she confirmed one of her personal subroutines had finished. Having a will of her own, Daisy often programmed simulations to pass the time. Her latest one had taken quite an effort, and she was looking forward to testing it out. Time was up though, her outer sensors detected the shuttlecraft docking. Her crew was back.
"Airlock secure. Welcome back guys." Daisy said as the airlock door began to open. "How did it go... never mind." The two members of her crew stepped inside with tired, frustrated steps. Dick's suit was splattered with splotches of green blood and clawed tentacles that clung to the armored eva protection even though Dick had burned them with his laser gun. Ashway's suit was covered, head to toe, in a yellowish fluid that had corroded part way through the armor. Through his visor, Dick had murder written all over his expression. Ashway had a haunted "I just got eaten alive" look on her face as she staggered along behind Dick's purposeful strides to the bridge.
"Richard, we really should put you and the suit through detox first..." Daisy started.
"Get me a firing solution on the dust off point and prep the hypergravity canons." Captain Coxwell said as he entered the bridge.
"Dick, those will Crack the planet in two!" Daisy protested.
"Good point. Better start with a tesla bomb. Burn off the atmosphere and make sure." Dick amended.
"But..."
"I got eaten... It eats your thoughts... Like, from your brain... " Ashway said to no one in particular as she stared a thousand mile stare at the wall. Daisy's holographic image gave the alien girl a concerned look before looking back at the captain. His face was deadly serious.
"Firing solution plotted." Daisy said with a simulated shrug.
Dick went to the firing console and input his secure code required for planet killer weapons and pulled the trigger. He watched the targeting screen until the moment of impact before firing the second weapon to eradicate the planet. When he looked out the viewport at the raging display of destruction, Daisy could detect signs of intense relief from her captain.
"It's stomach had vaginas. The vaginas had teeth..." Ashway said, still staring at the wall in apparent shock. As Dick and Daisy both cast concerned glances at Ashway, then each other, Ashway slowly turned her blank expression their way. "It wanted to skull fuck me with it's liver..."
"Maybe a singularity bomb for good measure..." Dick said.
