Not Too Many Surprisingly.

How many times? Has she bitten you for oil

Kiki, what does it feel like when Tera drinks from you?

"It... doesn't hurt as much as you think it would." She shrugs, as if it's no big deal. "Tera does her best to be as gentle as possible."

"It's like a little pinch, but then it's just- kinda tingly? And the area gets really warm. It's not pleasant... but not unpleasant?"

"I think her saliva is a numbing agent or something... "

I’m not crying you are…

Spectre sits crouched, squinting her eyes as she stares deeply into the eyes of Tera's tail.

...

...

"What the fuck are you doing?"

Ignore the height difference

?

*Slips a copy of Twilight into Tera's room and vanishes*

"Huh?"

She picks it up and looks curiously at the cover. After a moment of hesitation, she opens to the front page and sits on the edge of her bed...

She remains there for the next several hours.

Spectre looks to the floor.

Why do I want to? Why…

She thinks of the drones she knows. Of all their faces. The happy ones, the sad ones, the angry ones, and all those in between.

Right. That's why.

With a sigh, Spectre puts aside everything she can't travel with, and enters the shadow in front of her.

…

…

She emerges in what appears to be nothing. But that's not really the case. She looks at the void.

"Copper-9. Where I first met you, Tera. Where I saw the panic and growth of your family, and where I saw the deaths of all those who couldn't make it." She sighs. "But you made it. And those important to you did as well."

She frowns. "Well, I guess that's not entirely true, is it, Mr. Doorman?"

There was no answer. Of course there wasn't. As sentimental as she was being, she knew that she'd probably never again hear his voice. Not this one, at least.

Even so…

"Your daughter is doing great. Her—no, your family is doing great. They've encountered many hardships, and some have traveled along to the new home with them, but I know you'd be proud of the people they've become."

She chuckles.

"I uh… proposed to Tera. We're engaged now. Kiara too. Seeing her with Ai reminds me of how Uzi was with her, so I'm sure you would smile seeing it. Heheh, I can only hope you'd approve of me for you granddaughter. She's done so much for me. Your entire family has. And I can't be more thankful. To them, and to you, sir."

She looks once more where the exoplanet once was.

"Goodbye for now, Khan. Thank you for everything."

"You too, Doll."

She entered the void again, and went home. Back to her new home, on Titanium-28

You good Bri? Need some water?

I have been on the road since 10am and just got back a bit ago... if I have to do anything else today, someone is dying.

She got a little hungry

No, I feel bad now for Kiara and Delilah because it sounds there might be a divorce on the rise, and it hurts cause they’re both amazing people that don’t deserve it. Tera give Kiara a hug for me pls and I pray that they’ll both be alright

When Kiara wakes up, and sorry if this ask hurts you. Has your dad changed around your mom too?

Tera can answer too if Kiara can’t or doesn’t want to

"He has. But she won't admit it."

"The guy is always drinking, he smells like battery acid constantly, and every time I've been over Delilah and him have argued."

Tera is guarding the bed subconsciously, her tail arched around Kiara's sleeping form.

"He still treats Kia okay. But I don't like him almost as much as he doesn't like me"

Class of 09 reference

Any pet names you call her behind her back?

Somehow, Kiara speaking fluent French has been the most surprising thing from these asks so far. Why do you know French?

"Hehe, Mom and I both do, it's a way to talk without Papi noticing; he always has his translator off. It's like a little secret language!"

"It's not like I want to hide things from him, but some things are better left between me and Mom."

You’re so nerdy it’s adorable :3

Hey Bishop, can two female drones even get one of them pregnant? I recall V and Lizzy saying they used an external machine to combine their code, though come to think of it, I don't recall what happens after the machine combined the code.

"Yes. It's entirely possible."

"Drones were initially created as gender neutral, blank faces, white eyelights, basic voice patterns. It's because of this default base code that our reproduction method works the way ot does. It was originally just used to copy desirable traits into a new machine, similar to cloning a hard drive."

"Now, any drone can combine with any other drone, regardless of outward gender expression." He closes his eyes for a moment, a settings menu appears for a split second. When he opens them again and speaks, his voice is very feminine.

"Our gender is just a series of if/and statements and any feature can be changed anytime, except hair and eye color." He closes his eyes again, and switches his voice back to normal.

"The receiving core takes trait data from the donor core and processes it, gender isn't even taken into account, so long as someone has the hardware to connect the cores."

"Aunt V and Aunt Liz didn't want to deal with developing the new neural network inside either of them, so instead they hooked themselves up into a machine that combines and gestates the code externally, and when finished, can be uploaded into a shell like normal."

"I hope that was an educational demonstration."
