I’m not sure what Cassandra gets out of this. I mean, look at him. He’s gorgeous and, well, really well hung, but you don’t experience sex the way we do, Cassandra. You said so yourself.’
    ‘I… decided that I should,’ Cassandra replied. ‘I’ve been working with the AIs to alter my sensory inputs and re-channel certain elements of my behavioural subroutines. I think it’s worked. You know that I don’t react to physical sex the way a Jenlay would, so you don’t stimulate me that way, but you can’t stop yourself from some intimate behaviour. When you have it has been… pleasant.’
    ‘We used nanobots to reconstruct her skin,’ Winter said. ‘It’s similar to Aneka’s now.’
    ‘I thought it felt… more real,’ Ella put in.
    ‘Then we had to adjust a lot of internal wiring to channel that new data into her brain, add some software patches to respond to it, and then it was a process of acclimatisation which is still ongoing. She’ll need to, um, practise. We loaded the same sensory processor software into Al’s package when we transferred him over.’
    Aneka could just tell that Winter was trying hard not to laugh. She looked at the drone in the pod, her eyes drifting down its form to its hips. Then she shook her head. ‘If you break my support AI, I’m going to make you buy me a new one,’ she said.

    ‘They’ve been in there for two days,’ Ella said.
    ‘Uh-huh,’ Aneka replied. She was mostly concentrating on the data they had collected from spy drones in the Lonar system, and Ella’s ‘concerns’ were more of an amusing distraction than anything else.
    ‘Two days, and no one’s seen hide nor hair of them.’
    ‘Uh-huh.’ It looked a lot like the Herosian forces were in disarray. If the Jenlay forces were lucky they could walk in and take the system back with barely any effort.
    ‘They’ll wear bits out, that’s all I’m saying.’
    ‘Abrasion is certainly a concern,’ Aneka agreed. ‘Cassandra has internal lubricant reserves though.’
    Ella blinked. ‘Oh. What kind?’
    ‘Water-based, or so I’m told. One of her few reasons for drinking fluids.’
    ‘I did not know that. But… Two days! ’
    ‘You’re just jealous.’
    ‘Fucking right I am!’

    ‘You’re looking happy,’ Aneka said as she let Cassandra and Al past her and into the apartment. ‘We were beginning to wonder whether you’d ever emerge.’ The robot couple were dressed in robes which suggested they had just come from the apartment they had been sharing for the last three days.
    ‘Eventually our batteries would have run out,’ Cassandra replied. ‘Al isn’t cosmically powered like you, and I’m still on the same power system as ever.’
    ‘Personally I thought you’d both need repair work,’ Ella commented from the sofa. ‘Abrasion damage.’
    ‘We have not ,’ Al stated, ‘spent the entire time in acts of a carnal nature. We have watched three videos together and engaged in analogue communication for extended periods. Both were novel experiences, though I, like Aneka, cannot quite understand the appeal of these comedies you like, Ella.’
    ‘There was,’ Cassandra admitted, ‘quite a lot of sex, but we both needed to teach the new software what it was supposed to be doing.’
    ‘Sex for science,’ Aneka said as she sat down beside Ella. ‘Wouldn’t be the first time. You think you’re there?’
    ‘We spent some time comparing our responses with the data I’ve collected from you,’ Al said. ‘Three of the cybernetics AIs Cassandra worked with assisted in the analysis…’
    ‘You’re comparing your reactions to mine?’ Aneka asked, frowning.
    ‘Winter supplied additional comparison data,’ Cassandra said. ‘However, her avatars utilise organic processors which operate differently. You have an entirely electronic brain, even if it is a rather different one to ours. It was the best we could come up with to train our systems against and, uh, it
