A loud rumble slowly died down as the muffler of a truck spat out black smoke, sputtering and coughing as the vehicle came to a stop. A man in dirty coveralls and welding goggles came out of the run-down shop, waving a wrench around as the driver stepped out.
"What do you reckon this hot pile of scrap heap is worth?" The driver spoke as they slammed their door a few times, making sure the latch locked into place. His dirt covered hand adjusted his woven hat while he walked to the back of his truck and began to show the mechanic his findings.
"That better not be a body, we don't need that kind of attention, especially after the last incident."
"Quit your worrying, its some type of android, high grade too. You think its one of them robotic sex dolls? Might sell well if we make sure its clean."
The mechanic leaned forward and poked the body with his wrench.
"You scared of it, Danny? It's just a pile of metal and synthetic flesh."
"Looks different than what I've seen sold at the market. I don't trust it."
The truck driver sighed and hopped onto the back of his truck, moving the rusted metal parts he scavenged out of the way and dragging the replicated female body to the edge of the truck bed, propping it up. Though covered in dust and dirt, it was clear to see it was a female android, most of its limbs torn pretty harshly. The usual lights that came from inside them were dark and seemingly dead. Reaching around the shoulders of the android, the man grabbed its breasts and bounced them a bit, trying to show them off.
"Just a fancy doll, see? Take a feel for yourself, bet it would be better than your wife's. I'm telling you, top quality."
The mechanic was hesitant, narrowing his eyes as he wiped his brow.
"Fine bring it inside, but don't try anything with it. I'll see if I can get it running. Might be self-cleaning or something."
"There we go, making a good deal here Danny, just you wait."
The man was quick to start unloading his truck as the mechanic returned to his shop to prepare some workspace. It wasn't long before they had the android across the table, opened up with tools and worn down clamps full of grime.
"Quite the body she has." The scavenger spoke after a whistle. "Might keep her for myself."
"Always were a gross bastard, since you could never keep yourself a woman."
"Not my fault they can't handle my way of living."
"You treat women as well as you would treat this doll."
"I'm just saying, a man has needs."
"Just hand me the prybar right there, it looks like there is something stuck in her."
The scavenger stood quietly for a moment before retrieving the tool, not wanting to pry his own eyes of his haul.
"Where did you find this doll anyhow?"
"Nowhere special."
"When you say that I know that you did."
The mechanic struggled as he attempted to wedge the bar in the android's arm, hearing a sharp twang of metal.
"Just a bit beyond the ridge is all."
Another twang echoed as the prybar snapped, sending a piece flying across the room. Hands slammed against the table as Danny turned to face his customer.
"Goddammit Dave! I told you not to get your shit around those parts anymore. Nothing but trouble beyond the ridge. The last thing we need is some alien agents roaming around looking for something that belongs to them!"
"Hold on there Danny, the hell is that."
"The hell is what." He turned to look back, freezing in place at the blue glow emanating from the android's arm.
"Pliers. Now."
Silence as the scavenger snatched up the tool and handed them to the mechanic. With shaky hands, he dipped the nose of the pliers into the arm and pulled out a sparkling blue blade. Advanced electronic energy whirred and sizzled from it, a deadly weapon in the right hands. A large crack was visible down the blade, possibly making it too weak for any proper use.
"That ain't no sex doll."
"Alright so it ain't a sex doll, just take out the weapons and we turn it into one, right?"
'No Dave, I'm out, you can go ahead and take this right out of my damn-"
Initializing complete. Repairing damaged nodes.
"Oh shit."
"What do you mean, oh shit, Danny, what's it doing?"
"Look at its arm."
The two watched as the tissue and metal seemed to melt back into place and grow, sealing the previous gaps while also absorbing all the dirt and grime on it. The blue glow shone brightly from its chest through the skin. After a few silent moments, the android sat up, looking around, seeming to not notice the two men as it examined its surroundings. She sat with pale skin and starch white hair, with bright blue eyes. Her skin was shiny and smooth looking, with no markings besides small outlines along her body that made it obvious she was synthetic.
"Look, ma'am... android... thing, my buddy here didn't know what happened to you and we were just trying to help out, nothing bad, alright?"
The android tilted her head, her soft upturned nose sniffing the air and her downturned eyes glancing back to the mechanic.
"I am unsure what had caused my malfunction, but I appreciate your help. Do you happen to know where it is that I am?"
"Uh, just a bit outside Markov?"
"Markov?"
"You must have been roughed up something mean back there, you don't even know Markov?"
"It appears that my navigation and directives have been reset. Can you tell me anything about how you found me?"
"I don't know if-"
"Well, you were right by my house of course! I bought you as my personal android wife a while back, how could you not remember?"
The mechanic turned to give Dave a dirty look, trying to signal to him to cut the shit.
"Wife? I don't believe I understand."
"Well look at yourself, all beautiful and whatnot, of course you're my wife."
"Your wife..." The android seemed to process the information slowly.
"Of course, you see, with your nice tits and all." The man slowly walked forward, separating her from the mechanic, who stepped back with caution.
"My... tits? Are you referring to my breasts?" She looked down and placed a hand to her chest, unsure of any implications.
"Aren't you a smart doll." His hands reached down as the mechanic's eyes widened in surprise and disgust. "And don't forget about this wonderfully tight-" The soft blue of the android shifted and quickly turned to a piercing red, her right hand motioning around and thrusting her palm into the chest of the scavenger. A look of confusion fell on her face as she watched him launch across the room into the wall, causing dust to stir up in the shop. She glanced at the opening in her forearm, noticing the empty compartment and looking towards the cracked blue blade next to her on the table.
"Woah alright hold on there, no need to get violent. Yes, my friend here is an asshole and an idiot but we can talk things out! I'll get you some clothes and you can go wherever you were going before we found you."
The android seemed to calm down as her color returned to its previous state, shining blue.
"There we go alright." The mechanic looked at the man on the floor, he seemed to be out cold but still breathing.
"I'll be right back okay, don't go anywhere." With that he then rushed out into his shop, calling out for what sounded to be his wife to find some clothes. By the time they returned, Dave was holding on to a nearby shelf to pull himself up from the floor. The android was nowhere in sight.
"Even fucking androids are cunts," the man groaned.
"Get the fuck off my property Dave. I'm done with your shit."
"Fine, like I needed your goddamn service. Can't even fix a busted robot."
The scavenger stumbled back to his car and began to drive off as the mechanic looked around for the android, but only empty roads stretched as far as he could see.
