I heard a buzz, someone was downstairs and wanted entry into the apartment building. About an hour earlier, I'd received a text, "Please confirm you will be available to accept delivery of your package from TRUSTED RESELLER at 6:03PM". The clock on my phone said it was 18:03... right on the money. I buzzed whoever it was in. I waited by the door, eager to open my package. They probably need to bring it up on a dolly. Finally, I heard three knocks. Perfectly timed, no variation in tempo between the 2nd and third beat. I opened, expecting to see a man (or maybe a woman) in a brown uniform with a large box, but instead I saw... The Package.
"Are you Mr. Jacob House?" it said in a surprisingly human monotone.
"That's me."
"Please confirm receipt on your phone, and present me with government ID."
"Of course." I fiddled with my phone, and fished out my ID from my wallet and handed it to her. She stared at it, then stuck the chip into her arm.
"Identity verified. How should I address you?"
I looked over at her, an average sized woman-shaped object of average build, dressed in a french maid outfit with the frilly ruffles. She has fair skin, short brown hair and brown eyes, but all that was adjustable.
"If we're alone, call me 'Master', otherwise call me 'Jake'. Similarly, I will call you 'Slave' or 'Nikki'"
"Yes Master. How shall I serve you Master?"
The cold submission was exhilarating. "Please, come inside and close the door, there's no need to stand in the hallway."
"May I pair with your phone?" "Of course." A notice appeared on my phone, reading "Pair request, confirm numbers are the same on both devices: 4 A T 7"
She responded "Four. Ayy. Tee. Seven." I touched "confirm" on my phone.
She looked around the room, "Shall I begin standard cleanup routine?"
It was a bit of a mess.
"Not just yet, is that all you came with?" I gesture around noting her lack of accessories, not even a suitcase.
"From the factory, I come with a week's worth of clothes, and several cleaning tools that interface with my system. My memory was wiped before transport, I have no idea where those other objects are now."
"Oh that's fine. Most of the tools you need are in the closet."
"Noted." She started to head toward the closet.
"Stop." She stopped dead in her tracks. "I didn't really get you to be a maid bot anyway."
"What, then shall be my primary function?"
I finally get a good look at what she's wearing: it's a simple black dress with a white apron. Garters hold up black stockings on her legs and simple black flats fit snugly on her feet with a white lace ribbon in her hair to complete the French Maid look. It's not exactly the "sexy" version you'd get at a Halloween store, but it's very submissive.
"Pleasure. Now strip."
"Yes Master." She kicks off her shoes and starts to take the dress over her head.
"...but I am not programmed for 'Pleasure,'..."
She takes off her dress folds it neatly before putting it on the coffee table, revealing a plain bra supporting basically no bosom, and a garter belt on top of panties. She doesn't have a belly-button.
"...nor is that available as a downloadable upgrade." She unsnaps and removes the bra, showing the barest hint of breast, but lacking any nipples. She sits down on a chair to remove the garter belt and stockings. After taking off each garment, she folds it as best as possible and puts it on top of the dress.
"I lack all the necessary... wetware."
She relinquishes the panties revealing a bare pelvis with no pubic hair, or labia, nor slit of womanhood. A model designed for cleaning had no need of nipples, or belly buttons, or vaginas, but Klein's Bio-Robotics prided itself on lifelike robots that looked really human, outside the uncanny valley. Also, by selling non-sex robots, they could advertise on mainstream media, and we could all pretend that it was just a cleaning robot at someone's house and not a sex bot in a cleaning routine.
"Turn around for me."
She did without speaking, lifting her hair with a hand, so I could see all of her back. Her ass wasn't much, and of course she lacked an asshole.
I wonder why the previous owner got rid of this bot? Did they upgrade to a sexbot? Why did they keep the factory defaults? Or did the body get reset back to defaults when the memory was wiped. Oh well, the guy only wanted $850 for it.
"Good Nikki, now move over here and get on your hands and knees."
"Like I'm going to scrub the floor?"
