"She fucked the service android?" Bastain squinted over his quartz desk, pointed with an onyx vaporcig.
"It would appear so, Sir," said Lan, an ice-blonde woman, expressionless.
"How do we know?"
"Sir, the unit in question, a Ceres-6, filed an anomalous precept mutation in its automated report." She glanced down to a card-thin tablet in her white-gloved hands. "We pulled this off its experience record." She flicked the tablet screen, and a video transferred to the large holomonitor behind Bastain. The man swiveled in his chair, frowning, watched.
On screen played a point-of-view video. A recording, taken through an android's eyes, of a nude, curly-haired woman excitedly sucking the same android's not-inconsiderable cock. She bobbed, head guided by a large, gentle hand, amidst droplets of passionate fluids suspected in microgravity. Her floating hair was backlit by the glowing morass of a red-and-purple nebula shon through a great void-window. Her expression, dully fixed, matched the android's lusty moans and fixated stare. Bastain stared, cig drooping.
"Oh, Specialist Jack,"
moaned the audio track. The hand tightened. The woman onscreen hummed, eyes smiling as she pulled her engorged lips over the wide and shining cock. The android moaned again.
"I think it's only courteous to warn I'm going toβ "
The screen cut out. The ice-haired woman lifted her finger from the
pause
key. Bastain still stared, blank. "Christ." Surreptitiously, he adjusted the crotch of his slacks before swiveling back around. "She
did
fuck him." He took a long hit off the vaporcig. Wisps spiraled from his nostrils. Briefly, he gazed past Lan, frowned at the sweet greenery of a misty garden world framed beyond. Abruptly, he looked up. "How the hell did she do to manage that?"
"Sir," said Lan. "During 24 hours' contact with Comm-engineering Specialist Jacqueline Kent, the unit sysnamed 'Sam,' mutated the following precepts in response to the Specialist's behavior..." She cleared her throat, read:
"Physical Apperception: plus fifty-seven percent. Social Assertion: plus fifteen percent. Tonal Formality: minus twenty percent. Individualized Affection: plus eighty-eight percent." She paused, looked at Bastain. "Sexuality: plus one-hundred percent."
"Jesus." Bastain ran a hand through his salt-and-pepper quiff. "Are they meant to do that?"
"Yes and no, Sir."
"Yes and no?"
Lan recited, blankly. "Ceres-6s were the first Serault Corporation model to feature full behavioral precept mutability. Like most Ceres models, they were designed to self-adapt and facilitate maximum social compatibility with small crews." She paused, tilted her head. An icy lock fell over one eye. She brushed it away. "However, the model has a flaw: Their mutation is constrained by no delimiters, save Asimov's Amended Laws. As a result, theyβ"
"Turn into fornicators," interrupted Bastain. "If their crewmates are turned on?"
"Sir, there have been seventeen reports of individual crews engaging in sexual activity with their Ceres-6 service models."
"So, yes?"
"Yes, Sir."
Bastain sat and vaped a moment. He adjusted his tie. "Is this mutation affecting Specialist Jaβ "He screwed up his eyes for a moment, corrected himself. "Uh, Specialist Kent's efficiency?"
Lan blinked her blue-raspberry eyes. "As of yet, Sir, we do not have enough labor data to judge either Specialist Kent's baseline or affected efficiency at this post. Either way, the unit sysnamed 'Sam' is scheduled to be replaced by a new-model Ceres-8 in less than a standard month."
"Ah, well." Bastain shrugged. "I guess that works out." Vapor swirled around his grey eyes, white as the tropical steam outside.
"Will that be all, Sir?" asked Lan.
Bastain looked up. "Yeah. Thanks."
Lan briefly twitched a smile, turned to leave through the plate-glass door.
"Lan," said Bastain, to her pencil-skirt clad back.
"Sir?" she turned.
"Remind me." The man squinted. "What model are you?"
Voice level, Lan pronounced: "Eris-7, Sir. Courtesy model."
"Ah, I think I remember you saying that." An awkward smile tugged Bastain's face. "Thank you."
"Of course, Sir."
"And, Lan?"
"Sir?"
"Leave the tablet."
"Sir." She did. The ceramic handheld clicked on the quartz desktop. Bastain watched her go; watched her small hand wrap round the door, watched her teardrop hips, swaying, clad in clinging black. He blinked, sighed, picked up the tablet. With a finger, he touched the
Play
key, elicited quiet audio and moving images from the ceramic slate.
"-to warn you I'm going to cum."
After ensuing sounds of ecstasy from both parties, he turned it off, put it down.
"Fucked her android," he muttered, shaking his head. "What an idea."

Jack awoke, floating. She shifted, confused for a moment, then smiled, remembering, as she felt the firm grasp of Sam's broad arms round her chest and belly. She touched the corded, lightly haired forearms, hugged them, held one large hand warm to her breast. Sam hugged her back. Firmly, warm. Affectionate.
"Good morning, Specialist Jack."
Jack felt dried sugar crackle on her lips. Without opening her eyes, she turned around in Sam's grasp, pulled his mouth to hers. For a moment, she kissed him hard, let her sugar-coated tongue slip between the android's pliable lips. She broke free, opened her eyes. "Good morning Sam," she said, licking luxuriantly. "Happy I didn't dream fucking you."
"Good morning," said Sam, again. He smiled, and the little lines at the corners of his eyes crinkled delicately. "Though, it is, in reality, just after Earth-standard noon."
Jack's eyes widened. "Fuck, the traffic," she gasped, wriggled for a moment, winced. She clutched her leg, felt the stretched, tight material of a flex-bandage around her thigh. It was her only garment. "Fuck," she said again. "Hurts more than it did yesterday."
"That's to be expected."
"We need to work, Sam! The lighthouse has to function."
Sam hugged her. "Don't worry, Jack. You may recall I set the lighthouse to transmit a detour notice, per Company policy. We may resume work after the conclusion of your twenty-four-hour healing period. Of which an hour remains, by my count." Sam smiled again. "And I do insist you enjoy it."
Jack startled, winced. She squirmed, attempted to get out of the sleep webbing. "I've been asleep for
twenty hours?"
"Yes. Though you did wake to urinate shortly ago, which you appear not to recall. The corrective clot I applied to your leg included a metabolic enhancer. It encourages deep sleep for efficient healing. You are likely to beβ "
"Fucking hungry," said Jack, raising her eyebrows and licking her lips again. She unclipped her webbing, floated away from Sam. "Oh, shit." She said, realizing her mistake. Untethered, she drifted across the room, hair and tits buoyant, bounced gently off the ceiling, then into the broad window-floor. A duotone magenta, cast by the vast and swirling nebula beyond, suffused her space-pale, depilated skin with curious shades of pink red.
"You need mag boots, Jack," said Sam. Still under the webbing, he maneuvered his legs over the bed, retrieved one of two pairs of boots stuck to the transparent-alloy window-floor. He tugged them on, and, naked save for those red and silver boots, kicked over to Jack, second pair in hand. Handily, he caught her around the waste. Jack clung to his front, wrapped her feet around him, kissed him softly. Her nipples, quite hard, brushed the blond fur of his chest.
"Come now, Specialist," said Sam, with good humor, peeled her off. With deliberate force, he turned her about, and employing her hips and waist as grips slightly more than was required, tugged the second pair of boots over her small feet. Jack cleaved back to him immediately after, and Sam held her in return. She nuzzled into his neck, enjoyed his scent of soap and sweat, caressed the broad hands wrapped round her body.
"Thanks, Sam." She then connected, likewise naked, save for boots and bandage, to the magnetic face of the window. Sam settled beside. Jack, considerably smaller, placed her hands on the wide rounds of his shoulders. "Let's please get some food."
"Wait a moment," smiled Sam, nearly a smirk. He held her close, sniffed her. "Did you bathe, yesterday?"
Jack blushed, frowned. "Not really. I, uh, ran out of my water ration."
"I think a shower is in order, first. Don't you think?"
For a moment, Jack was annoyed. Then, her face brightened. She let her fingers play over the android's chest. "I think that might be... Fun." She continued to draw her touch across Sam's pecs, over the cut ridges of his serratus anterior, then round his back. "But the spin hasn't started, yet," she said, drew the tip of her tongue along his jaw. "Can't shower in microgravity."
Sam raised an eyebrow. "True. We have seven minutes before the artificial gravity cycle starts."
"Hmm,"
Jack pulled close, warm, smushed her breasts against Sam, rubbed her cheek against his chin. With a soft
click,
she detached one mag boot from the window-floor, lifted to wrap a bare leg about Sam. She pulled herself in, wiggled her hips, hummed in contentment as she ground the wetness between her legs into Sam's thigh. The android's cock, now beginning to swell, pressed, bent, into her front. "I think that's enough," she said, throaty.
Sam lifted his chin, let Jack lick and nibble little lines of wet kisses up his neck. "Enough for what, Jack?"
Jack slid a hand down Sam's abs, grabbed the base of his cock. It twitched, straightened. "Time for more of you." She stroked him, felt a glaze of sugary cum flake under her touch. The cock darkened, thickened with arousal. Veins stood out from its girth.
At that, Sam took her by the chin with one hand, seized her ass in the other. He squished her rump close to him, lifted her chin, her parted lips close to his. Her soft flesh dimpled, firm, under his fingertips. "How do you want me?"
"Inside me," gasped Sam, intrigued by her partner's sudden engagement. She pressed her pubic mound into the android's hard, muscled thigh, left a spot of wet arousal. "Fuck me. Standing up. Like this."
There was a
