Luna sat at her workbench, fusion torch in one hand, welding solder in the other. A few more inches, and she'd finally be done. It would be complete. She thought back to the last time she'd been with a real man, so many months ago at the space station at Bernard's Star. That was, of course, before her ship had been attacked by the Kr'Santh, a race of brutal, ruthless warriors from beyond the distant Pleiades. Only her quick thinking had saved her from being vaporized. When she had shut off the auxiliary power, they had taken her ship for dead in space. They had left it, and her, to rot. However, Luna had a few more resources at hand than they could have known about. And now she was using those resources to alleviate the mind-crushing boredom that was flooding her both day and night.
Looking down at the completed android on the table, she lifted her welding visor to reveal a pretty, almost elfin face, framed by chin-length hair that was so blonde it bordered on white. It was that hair that had earned her the name Luna, after the ancient goddess of the moon. Wiping some grease on the sleeve of her mechanic's coveralls, which clung to her slender, well-curved body like a second skin, she reached for the rocker switch just above the android's left eye. She thumbed it on, and stood back as the android's body emitted a low humming sound and his eyes rolled in their sockets, scanning what he could see of the room from his flat position. He reached up with one hand, and looked at the mix of high-polished chrome and synthetic silicone-based flesh that was his hand and arm.
"I am." he said simply, his voice pleasantly surprised. He shifted and sat up, looking around. When his eyes fixed on Luna, he smiled like she was an old friend. Just as programmed.
"Beautiful. You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen." he said, rising a bit unsteadily to his feet and approaching her. Luna blushed, filled with feeling at these words. Words she'd wanted to hear from someone, anyone, for such a long time now. As he reached out to take her hand, she tilted her head and lowered her face slowly. When he kissed her hand, she was very pleasantly surprised to discover that his lips were warm.
"Thank you. You make me feel like the most special girl in the universe." she replied, still blushing deeply.
"But you are! You gave me life, I know this. You made me able to see you, to hear the beauty of your voice. Able to feel your soft skin." he replied urgently, rubbing a hand across her hot cheek. "But though I know who you are, Luna, what would you call me? I don't know anything of my own name."
"Oh yeah, I never programmed you with a name in mind. Sorry. Hmm...How about Andy? it's cute, and a slang word for an android. And you are MY cute android, right?" Luna said, smiling as one hand slowly worked the zipper of her coveralls down, revealing the shiny red sports bra that contained her perfectly shaped breasts. Andy's eyes averted down from hers, eye lenses zooming in on the sweet, inviting show of flesh that she was making of herself.
