Sion nodded vigorously, suddenly resembling an overexcited child with a new toy. “Understood, completely. An offshoot of the Central Brain-highest classification. I’ll purge all surveillance logs immediately. Follow me to the Level Three Specialized Lab. The vessels there are all military-grade.”
The Central Brain’s luminous form flickered twice above them, its light beginning to condense and recede.
“My purpose here is fulfilled.” Its voice relaxed, carrying a finality, “I shall continue maintaining the Empire’s computational networks-Vex’s legacy to this world. As for you…
Its voice softened, the mechanical timbre almost gentle. “Go live the life you choose. This time, no one can
erase you.”

The air in the Level Three Specialized Lab carried the sharp, sterile scent of cold oil and metal.
Sion led the way, his thin fingers dancing across a control panel. Heavy blast doors hissed open, and harsh white lights activated in sequence, illuminating a vast hangar.
Row upon row of stasis pods stood in perfect lines, each housing a different model of military-grade robot: treaded units, multi-legged walkers, fully armored combat frames.
“Your Grace, this is our prized collection. Every one of them is built with superconducting alloy frames and the latest generation of independent quantum chips. The cost of a single unit could buy a small moon in the outer systems,” Sion announced with palpable pride, gesturing expansively.
Margaret kept her hands in her pockets, her eyes scanning the array of cold, metallic forms.
In her mind, Primo had lost all composure.
“Jackpot! Absolute jackpot! Host, look at that one! Third row from the left!” Its electronic voice squealed with excitement, making Margaret’s temple throb.
She followed its mental direction.
There stood a combat mech over seven feet tall, painted matte black. Its shoulders were broad, chest plates pronounced, gleaming dully under the lab lights.
“A hunk! A pure mechanical hunk!” Primo was doing mental cartwheels. “I want that one! Those lines, that texture-it’d be so cool to live in!”
Margaret eyed the hulking metallic behemoth, her eyelid twitching slightly.
“You plan on carrying demolition charges to the front lines in that thing? Over seven feet tall. You’d crack my doorframe just walking through,” she retorted mentally.
“We can widen the door! You don’t get it, Host! This screams security!” Primo argued passionately.
Before Margaret could reply, Cheiron, who had been walking silently beside her, came to a stop.

He followed her gaze, his eyes resting calmly on the heavy assault mech. He took two steps forward and rapped his knuckles against its armored shell.
A low, hollow thud echoed through the lab.
“Interested in this model?” Cheiron asked, turning to Margaret, his tone measured. “Designation: ‘Bastion.’ Heavy fire-support platform. Weighs over three tons, extreme energy consumption. Each step would compromise the structural integrity of standard residential flooring.”
He paused, delivering his verdict with clinical precision. “Hardly suitable for domestic use.”
Margaret nodded in agreement. “It is rather cumbersome.”
Cheiron withdrew his hand, continuing in that same unhurried, reasonable tone, “Furthermore, our living quarters are already occupied by several males. Space is at a premium. Introducing another occupant of such… substantial proportions would complicate daily routines.”
His gaze softened as it returned to Margaret, his voice dropping to a more intimate, considerate pitch. “More importantly, young Norman is at a critical stage of development. She requires attentive care. We males can be… somewhat lacking in domestic meticulousness. A feminine-presenting android could serve dual purposes: providing security while also tending more effectively to the daily needs of both you and the child.”
Listening to him, Margaret found his logic impeccable.
Their home currently housed five beastmen, with Ryan and his Aegis squad often nearby.
The masculine energy was already overwhelming.
