Hugh awoke in the lounge of the station wheezing. "Why is it... So hard... To breathe...?" He gasped out before looking down at a younger version of Hina. She looked to be about 15-16, had long strawberry blonde anime hair like Hina, and was shorter by three inches as well as having no clothes, and smaller liquid cooled data storage.

"Theortan rank Hugh giving android direct orders to cease actions of hostility and allow me to breathe right!" He said as best he could.

The young model of android looked up at him with orange eyes that worked like Hina's and she hugged him tighter.

"Let me go! I can't breathe damn you!" He said as he felt the beginnings of his rib breaking.

As soon as he said it the pressure lessened and he could take a deep breathe of air. What were those insane mechanics making for neo sake?

Hina came in with a cup full of orange liquid and set it on the table. "She wouldn't let you go Hugh. But i brought you into the lounge."

Hugh sighed and tried to get up, but the android girl wasn't exactly a balloon. "Get off of me neo please!" He said in exasperation. She made no move whatsoever though so he sighed and grabbed the drink before doing his best to get in a way to not spill it all.

"Hina go grab my stupid toolbox. The sooner she can talk the sooner i can know why she won't let me go." He said with more than a hint of irritation.

"Of course dear." Hina said with a smile and a slight bluish blush. Once again Hugh's eyebrow started spasming angrily.

Once she was back with the toolbox Hugh took out a pair of goggles, a blowtorch, some wire cutters, and many more parts for his little android surgery.

He started by having Hina pull her off, at the cost of one of his ribs audibly cracking under the force of peeling her off of him. He then sat on her arms and began the work of welding her throat open, while Hina grabbed bandages for his rib.

With a look of terror on her face she closed her eyes as the plating was removed, showing a hollow space where her throat was. Hugh grumbled about how much of a pain in the ass she was not five minutes ago with wanting to never let him go and now she wanted to be anywhere but there it seemed.

Even as he thought this he began to assemble the voice modulator in her nearly empty throat, snipping the fiber optics and plugging them in. As soon as it was operational a deep bellow of pure fear from a deep base voice washed through the station.

"SHUDDUP! YOU'RE GETTING A VOICE FOR NEO SAKE!" Hugh yelled before she began to quiet. "I need to fine tune it but once it's done you can vocalize all your processes and whatever. Now let me do this, when i'm done there won't even be a mark." He said more calmly.

Hina came back in and pulled Hugh's shirt up, causing him to grunt in pain before she began to wrap his midriff. As he was tended to he kept hearing the ragged sound of breathing coming from the terrified android girl. Using it as a refrence he began to turn the bolt that controlled the pitch.

Slowly he turned it tighter and tighter until her breathing was more akin to what her human counterpart would sound like. Taking the plate he had soldered off he put it back in to place and began to reweld it.

"Hold still or this will leave a mark. Consider me your doctor right now." Hugh said as he welded it back into place seamlessly.

Once he was complete, so was Hina, and he put his tools away and got off the tiny android. She immediately lunged for Hugh again, and a distinct crunch could be heard along with sobbing and a wheezy, "sonofabitch..." As Hugh was floored again.

Hugh grabbed her by the shoulders and pried her off with all his might, "what the hell is your problem!? Quit breaking me girl!" Hugh shouted between grunts of extricating her from his person.

"But papa i'm so scared!" Came the young girlish voice from the android.

"What." Was all Hugh said as his strength was drained away and he had the air crushed out of him again.

Hina knelt and worked her hands between the two before pulling her off again. "Listen um... Whats your designation?" Hina said before pushing her onto her backside.

She hugged her knees as tears slowly fell down her cheeks, Hugh groaned as he clutched at his two new broken ribs. "Intelligent Surrogate Android ..." She petered off until she was merely muttering the end.

"What? Speak up. I gave you a voice now use it." Hugh said as he sat up.

"I said Intelligent Surrogate Android Superweapon!" She said as she began crying again.

"Superweapon my ass. Then again you broke three of my ribs. Neo deus, why in the flames of great nebula did you have to break three of my ribs? THREE GIRL THREE!?" he said in anger.

Hina looked at her and patted her hair, "I.S.A.S for short huh? A wonderful designation Isas. Now, can you do something for me? Can you tell me about yourself?" Hina said with a smile as she held Isas' chin.

Hugh grumbled and looked at her, "and why are you crying? We aren't gonna hurt you." He said before grumbling that it would probably another of his ribs if anything.

She looked up with tear stains at Hugh, "i'm scared papa... When they made me they were all afraid becuase of the weaponry they put in me..." She said sadly.

Hugh shook his hand, "woah woah woah, back up." He said in disbelief.

"I don't want you to be afraid too papa!" She said before she began crying anew.

Hugh looked at her dumbfounded, "the hell is this papa shit? What the fuck are they trying to do to me!? You, Isas, follow Hina and get dressed already, Neo deus, why the hell is this shit happening to me. The first fucking week we had those damn quadruped beast things from the nearby satellite. We had to change our orbit so THAT bullshit never happened again." He said as he scratched his head.

Hina waved for Isas to follow, but she just sat their looking at Hugh with a teary smile. "You aren't afraid of me papa?" She said before scooting closer.

Hugh saw her move out of the corner of his eye, "hey! I said dressed! Now! I don't need two more liquid cooling data storage swinging freely here. hina does that shit enough thank you very much!" Hugh said before turning his back from her.

She lunged and hugged him from behind, "oh thank you papa!" She said with glee, Hugh wheezed in pain, "go... Now... Ribs hurt... Let go... Get dressed..." He said as she let go and he collapsed onto his side, clutching his ribs.

Isas got to her feet and pranced off humming behind Hina. "Damn androids are gonna kill me with this recharging bullshit..." Hugh said as he lay there rubbing his ribs.

He climbed onto the couch in the lounge and lay there trying to catch his breathe. Before long he heard the pitter patter of the footsteps of two androids, completely out of rhythm as Isas burst through and jumped with a squeal of joy onto Hugh, he wheezed as she landed on him.

"When will i ever get to breathe properly..." He sighed as Hina sat at his feet. "Turn the gravity to .5 g's, Hina if you want me to live do it!" Hugh said through the weight of teen android.

Isas knelt on top of Hugh, her hair filaments hanging down into his face, "so papa, can i recharge with you at night?" She said before moving to lay against him.

He sighed and looked at Hina for help, but found none, "you won't take no for an answer will you?" Hugh said hopefully.

"Nope!" Isas replied with a cheery smile. Hugh sighed as her fiberoptics glowed green and she began to sigh in content.

"Neo dammit." Hugh said in exasperation. He yawned and looked at the nerest window, the station was slowly getting to the 14th hour of dark position.

The station rotated as it orbited the dwarf star, giving it it's own day/night cycle and year, with days consisting of 28 hours, and years consisting of 405 days. It was almost midnight for Hugh as he pried Isas off of him and went into the bathing area.

He sank into a tub and sighed in content before he heard a splash, followed by a second. He opened an eye and yelled in surprise as he saw Isas and Hina in the bath with him.

Sure they were androids, but they were water tight and also had to have regular cleaning to maintain performance.

"Why the hell are you in here! I'm getting a bath! Cover up! Your data storage is showing Neo Deus help me!" He said as he closed his eyes and turned around.

Hina slowly walked through the water and began to scrub Hugh's back, "H-hey now! What are you doing!" He said as Isas grabbed one of his arms and hugged it, her data storage pressing against him as did Hina's as she began working on his chest from behind him.

"Don't you want to be clean Hugh?" Hina said with genuine innocence as she kept scrubbing.

Hugh was slowly turning redder and redder, "that doesn't mean i need your help!" He said before trying to move away. Using all his force he pulled out of Isas' grasp and made a dash, so fast not even the androids had seen more than a flash of his pale back as he climbed from the water.

Once dressed he collapsed in his bed, the best part being it was a decently good sized bed. And then into the room walked Hina and Isas, "i'm going to sleep, no funny business or you're going on a charger and that means a plug up you backside so you charge at night." He said in a tone that brooked no argument.

Isas smiled and jumped into bed with a "yay! I get to sleep with papa!" Followed by Hina crawling in beside him. "You two are so dependent on my being warmblooded." He said with a tired sigh, soon he was out and the girls had gone into a sleep mode of their own.

7 hours later.

Hugh woke up with a groan, he smelled something cooking, doubtless more paste. Not like Hina had got to study cooking shows, nor did they have the self sufficient farms working at maximum capacity yet.

He slowly got out of bed and stretched before putting on a new white work suit. As he walked out he passed by Isas who was studdying everything in the station.

With a start he winced and turned away from her, "what the hell did i say yesterday? Clothes! Now Isas!" He said before walking away from a groan of dissapointment.

Hugh sat at the table and pulled up the holographic monitor display for todays missions. The year was seperated into months, just like every other planet of the terran race. It's space stations were no different.

With 405 days it was divided cleanly into 9 months of 45 days, and 5 weeks of 9 days. Each station or planet typically had a different time schedule. Varying between the amount of days, amount of months, and even hours. And as such most had varying names for these months, and days. If two inhabited areas had a time schedule with the same of anything, they shared the names.

This gave rise to a race wide calendar system where it was based on what number was the maximum for weeks and months. Typically if a place had a certain amount of months it also had a specific amount of days and weeks, with little variation so as to keep it simple, with a deviation factor of up to 3 days variation between months.

This station, had the 9 month, 9 day system. And each was labeled accordingly.

1- Nix

2-Dous

3-Trentas

4-Quasicary

5-Pintel

6-Theocran

7-Septum

8-Octus

And 9- Dendalus

The days of the week were typically labeled to closely resemble the months.

1-Nius

2-Diomul

3-Trintic

4-Quasmel

5-Pince

6-Theum

7-Separa

8-Ocuos

And 9-Dendarum

Today was Pince of the third week of Septum, and he had a special mission today as the station was at it's closest position to the best option for colonization. However said planet was also the deadliest with the creatures upon it. To try and deacribe them in the mythology of the planet Terra of the Sol system... They had the head of a hammerhead shark at the end of a long neck like a giraffe, the body was large like a hippo but the biology was yet to be understood. They charged far faster than they should be physically allowed on their spindly legs. Awkward things like a giant deer.

The designation for this creature was the Trantomere. And it was by far the deadliest as the planet had a gravity of 2 g's but it could leap 5 yards high and over 6 long with speed.

The ungainly way these creatures could move about was what threw a person off. And had caused many deaths, constricting the amount of data on the subject.

And it was this reason that Hugh had been given this mission, as well as his proximity and that he was the only one to survive the dangers of the planet.

With a sigh at the hardships ahead he downed his nutrition paste and got up from the table. "Just so you are fully aware i am not happy about this psuedo family setup with two androids." He said with a leer.

Hina simply smiled with her hands together in front of her as Isas looked down sadly. "I'm not saying i was designed to be your wife Hugh, in fact my original designation has no real interraction with procreation. But... Isas and i do both have an algorithm designed to simulate emotion, and she WAS designated to be your daughter. So you can reject any interraction with me, but please don't do it to her." She said calmly.

Hugh sighed as his eyebrow twitched again. "I hate how you assume things. I never said i don't accept the two of you, i'm just not prepared to have two androids as an archetypal family. I... I care about both of you, yes Isas even though we met some less than 28 hours ago. I care, but don't pressure me to be some sort of father got it?" He said before walking off.

Isas looked up at Hina, "whats he mean?" She said with a slightly teary eyed gaze.

Hina put a hand on her hip and looked at Isas, "well... It's not a bad start... But i wouldn't push him. It's like a semi liquid metaphysical compound. The more force applied the more solid it becomes." She said with a smile.

"So it's like hitting liquid at an extreme rate of speed?" Isas said curiously.

"Now you've got it. Give him some time. Like hitting that liquid slowly." Hina said with a smile before walking after Hugh. Isas followed behind slowly, processors running with the question of what it meant for boundaries...

Hugh stepped into the airlock and put his helmet on before moving to the doorway. "Are you two coming i'll need support." He said as he looked back.

Hina walked in with Isas and they stood at the ready. "We're happy to assist you papa!" Isas said cheerily.

Hugh sighed in exasperation before hitting the button. The airlock sealed off and the door slowly opened to the cargo bay with the vehicles. "We need ultimate manueverability coupled with unparalleled fire power and a large fuel tank. Possibly with a land rover too..." He said as he floated over to a rather large and ungainly looking lander. "Unfortunately we haven't got that sort of funding so we're taking the P.O.S. out. Hope we don't die on the surface." He said as he climbed in followed by Hina and Isas.

The hatch sealed he hit the button and the bay doors opened. As soon as the way was clear and the station had rotated to face the planet, he launched off.

Soon they were hitting the outer atmosphere, the P.O.S was shaking from the resistance and was through the thickest part of it.

As they came down Hugh flipped a few switches and air brakes opened on one of the sides, spinning the lander to a more horizontal position before turning the thrusters on to glide down towards a giant forest.

The entire planet was a forest, forest and ocean. It was either land in the seas, or the trees. And it was into the trees that he aimed.

Coming in low he was skimming the tree tops before pulling a lever, causing the airbrakes to fully open, pulling it straight up before slamming the buttons to fire the thrusters to stabilize it and slow it down to a hover above the trees.

Hovering above the forest he could see none of the creatures he needed to study. Thankfully he had the room to manuever in this forest of giant trees.

Each tree was strange, they were like palm trees the size of sequoias, but the bark looked like the scales of a fish, overlapping and going down to the ground. The leaves were a bright red and seemed like a giant version of a fern frond.

Slowly without hitting any of the enormous trees Hugh settled the lander between the roots. The legs extending to keep the lander flat on the uneven ground.

The hatch opened with the hiss of decompression and Hugh stepped out with a tranquilizer rifle in hand and a suppressed combustion weapon over his shoulder. It had the power of a small cannon in the form of a ball of metal, an eighth of an inch thick metal shell packed with highly volatile chemical compounds as found on Terra 3. It was used in many things including demolition.

But here it would likely blow a 3 yard diameter hole in anything you fired it at. And it was meant as a last resort if the tranquilizer failed. The dosage measured out for the assumed body mass of the creatures.

Keeping an eye out for the greenish grey shiny rubber looking skin of the beasts as he stepped down off the lander ladder. He was followed by Isas and Hina respectively. "The atmospheric composition is a little high in nitrogen, explaining the size of the plants. Otherwise completely acceptable for life unlike terra's 2-4." Hina said before stepping up beside Hugh.

Isas shivered as she stepped up and grabbed Hugh's arm. "I'm scared papa." She said as she looked around anstily.

"You're technically a combat oriented android but you've never seen combat have you?" Hugh said with an exasperated sigh.

She nodded as a blue blush colored her cheeks. Hugh sighed again before stepping forward with Isas in tow. He stepped up to a tree and poked it, watching as the bark that looked so hard gave like a plastic cover beneath his finger.

"Interesting, think it can be cut or is it too malleable to have any amount of force break it?" Hugh said before pulling out a knife. He slowly dragged the tip across the bark and watched as the point simply pressed against the bark, pressing a line but leaving no real damage.

Hina kept an eye on the surrounding forest as Isas poked the bark and giggled. "It's like a taut bedsheet. It just springs back up when your done." She said as the scaled tree reformed to normal.

Hugh hmmmed and hawwed as he though about it, looking around he saw various scales from the trees littering the forest floor. Almost like the scales were the leaves instead of the fronds up top.

Taking the initative he grabbed ahold of the bottom of a scale and gave a yank, the tree shook a little bit as the scale came dislodged. As soon as it was free a new one grew in it's place as a sickly yellow colored ooze dripped out.

Taking a dead scale from the ground Isas poked the ooze and shrieked in horror as the scale hissed and smoked where it touched the ooze.

Hugh put his arm in front of her and pushed her back as he backed up. Hina looked with curiousity at the ooze, "some sort of caustic acid?" She said questioningly.

Hugh narrowed his eyes as he studied the tree. Slowly a new scale was regrowing, not very fast however. "Some natural defense or a chemical reaction with the air and the chemical composition of the scale..." He said before motioning back to the ship.

"We'll take chemical samples of the scales, and figure out what can react with it, or come back at a later date and take a sample of the sap." Hugh said before taking the scale that was about the size of his arm to the ship.

Isas stood on a mound of dirt and looked around until a sheen of greyishgreen caught her eye. "PAPA HELP!" She screamed as she pointed.

Hugh turned to look and saw a large predatorial raptor like eye on the side of a hammer shaped head. With a blur of motion it was gone and a great animalistic bellow was heard from above.

Looking up Hugh pointed the tranquilizer and fired off a shot as it came down, "it's a Shrenk!" He yelled as the beast caused a dust cloud as it landed, it's head snapped around and darted towards Hugh with the speed of a cobra.

With barely a second to spare he jumped out of the way and pointed his gun at it's head, firing off three more tranqs into it he kept backing away in hops and skips, being used to a 3g's planet meant he was used to waying 3/2's more than here, increasing his agility.

The beast bellowed in anger before collapsing comatose on the ground beneath the trees. "Documentation now!" Hugh shouted as he ran for the lander.

Hina began recprding data on the physical make up and the approximate size of it's various appendages. She stepped closer and pulled a chip from her pocket and quickly implanted it into a spot where a tranquilizer had peirced the skin.

She noted down the amount of anesthetic that had been required as well as the approximate estimated weight of the creature. Hugh came down with some steel cable and began to hammer pegs into the ground as Isas kept watch for more.

As soon as he was done he began to measure out and dictate the accurate sizes of the beast, "back is 2 and 1/3 yards, legs are from the hip to the knee, 1 and 2/3 yards. The knee to the hoofpad is 1 and 1/3 yards. The neck is 3 and 2/3 yards. The midriff is an estimated 4 yards in circumference. The head is 2 yards across, the eye is about 2/3 of a yard in diameter. The jaw is 2/3 of a yard long and 1/3 of a yard wide. It seems to be regaining conciousness, 7 minutes have elapsed, make note of it and head back to the ship. Now!" Hugh shouted as the eyelid fluttered open.

The slit that was the pupil widened and shrank before it roared and the cable groaned as the beast tried to move.

Hugh held his lethal gun at the ready as Isas ran up the ladder and into the lander, Hina stopped at the top to look at Hugh. "We have 25 minutes before the station is out of range for us to safely return to on our fuel." She said before climbing in.

Hugh ran up the ladder as the sound of the cables began to snap. "We need to go now!" He said before climbing in and shutting the hatch, as the lander sealed he hit the switches the lander blew the scales away the beast lurched to it's feet.

The lander was rocketing upwards as it charged, it leapt and snapped it's head forward to snap onto a landing gear. The piece broke away as the beast plummeted back down with a roar of furious denial.

They cleared the tree tops and began the ascent out of the planets atmosphere as Hugh checked the external cameras, "dammit he got a landing gear. Thats gonna cost us. Hopefully the data we send back will be enough to cover it plus some." He said as he was huddled in the lander with Hina in his lap and Isas hugging him from behind the seat, quietly crying in abject terror.

Hugh sighed patted her hand, "fine. You can sit in my lap too. But as soon as we get back to the station you are out of the lander got it?" She nodded before climbing into his lap beside Hina.

Soon enough they were landing back inside the docking bay, turning the magnetic feet of the lander on kept it stable as they touched down in the cargo bay.

Once out of the lander Hina headed off to put the documentation into the database of the station as well as send a copy to Terra 4.

Meanwhile Hugh and Isas stayed in the cargo bay with the hatch open as they contacted the mehanics. "Theortan rank Hugh calling Torag rank Thern, do you copy?" Hugh said as the terminal showed static.

"Torag rank Thern reading Theortan rank Hugh i copy. What seems to be the problem?" Thern said as tge static cleared up.

"Well... That species we were sent to gather info on has a nasty bite. And a decent heft. They snapped off one of the landing gear, we'll need a replacement landing gear setup to be sent our way." Hugh said as Isas twiddled her thumbs nervously at his side.

"Well howdy dowdy Isas. Doing your new Theortan proud?" Thern said before turning to look at something behind the camera, "No you shithead! We need that on the other side, and you! Drop that destabilizer by the bulkhead. That goes in after the amplifier! Buncha dumbasses..." He grumbled.

Isas hid behind Hugh as she nodded, "we made some progress on the data acquiration... It should be being transmitted soon by Hina." She said nervously.

Thern scratched his head, "what does that have to do with us? Unless perhaps we have to build something to beat these mean suckers. But you had the combustion gun. Shouldn't that have did something?"

Hugh pulled the tranquilizer gun up to the camera, "i used this, we needed to check on a live specimen, if we can figure out how to take it alive we can study it more closely while it's ardous than when it's dead when a biopsy will take more time and doubtless attract more predators."

Thern waves his hand and looked behind the screen again, "you, what did i say before? The thermal reactor goes into the middle of the chassis so to better receive heat from the various points of the hull. If you put it that high the coolant will cause a massive restriction to the heat transfer. Sorry, new guy thinks he understand how to build these things. We'll be sending your replacement landing gear... God whats the galactic standard time again?" Thern said scratching his beard.

Hugh narrowed his eyes in caution, "just what are you building now old man? And the galactic standard is the minute as defined by the halflife of quartz. Based around that the hour is always the same no matter where you go. Now when will it arrive and what are you building?" Hugh said angrily. He knew exactly what they were building, probably a new android.

Thern looked away nervously, yep... Android. "We have recieved word of two projects to send to you, and now you need a new landing gear, i'd say it will take us a good 2 and a half gs weeks. So expect your three crates in about 17 gs days." Thern said before whacking the terminal. "NO DAMMIT. Neo... I gotta go. YOU DAMN FOOL!" He said as the transmission cut.

Hugh sighed and closed the bay doors before walking to the airlock, Isas trailed behind hugging his arm as they crossed the frame and he sealed the door behind him.

Air flooded the room and he pulled his helmet off, "would you mind allowing me the functions of having two arms?" He said grumpily as he put his helmet on the shelf.

Isas nodded and collapsed on the floor. She hugged her knees and started to cry.

"Oh for Neo sake, what is it Isas?" Hugh said before picking her up and carrying her through to the main compartment of the station.

"I was so useless, so afraid, and so terrible at my designation, i should be decomissioned!" She said through her tears.

Hugh sighed, "if you don't stop crying you're gonna stain both our suits. First, everything went fine, second, i don't care what your designation is, if i don't give the order you don't just do whatever the hell you were designated to do. And third, Thern is an asshole, and you have no need to be nervous around him when i'm there." Hugh said before dropping her onto the lounge couch.

She hiccuped and wiped her eyes before watching Hugh walk away. He returned with some coolant and sat down beside her, "drink. You've been crying a lot and i know ecactly what it is." He said with a hint of irritation.

Isas nodded and began to ingest it, the makeup of the android being that a single tube ran down the throat, into a liquid assesment and sorting tank which then pumped it into various areas of the machine.

Hugh patted her head and walked off to find Hina. As he stepped into the kitchen he saw her sigh and lean against the counter. "Trouble with the report?" He said without expression.

Hina shook her head, "no, the report went fine, and with the experience we recieved they added a very large hazardous work bonus. But now we have no mission for another month or so..."

Hugh looked at her from the corner of his eye as he pulled a tub from the food storage and began ingesting his midday meal paste. "We've had that before. Sure it becomes routine but it isn't bad. We get time to do research and relax. You know what happens if an android does too much without a break. They freeze up, the motors need time to not be overtaxed and you are fully aware of it after last years incident." He said with a grimace at the taste of the paste.

Hina sighed as she knew full well he was right. She moved over behind him and hugged Hugh from behind, "i've been feeling low on energy lately..." She said as she closed her eyes and just soaked in his human warmth.

Isas walked into the kitchen and put the coolant can in the recycling bin before she sat down on Hugh's lap. She wrapped her arms around him and let her head rest on his chest.

Hugh sat their as his irritation slowly built, "i swear when the next one of you tin cans comes in i am forcing someone to use a fucking electric blanket." He said quietly. Truth is he wasn't sure if it was why they were clinging to him or if it was just a convenient excuse they made to hold onto him.

Hina pouted and hugged him tighter, "but you're so good at recharging us Hugh..." She said cutely. Isas smiled as she looked up at him, "yeah, papa makes me feel warm and happy." She said shyly.

Hugh looked away as he turned reddish, he could never admit it made him happy, it would be a blow to his manly pride to say he was happy that he was needed, cared about, possibly even loved. Maybe coming from an android it meant less, or maybe it really meant more because they weren't typically prone to emotion.

As if they could read his mind they snuggled closer, Hina whispering in his ear gently, "i... I do love you Hugh... Even if i am just a machine." As Isas sighed and snuggled into his chest saying, "i love my papa, and i hope he loves me even for being a robot..."

Hugh groaned guiltily before wrapping his arms around Isas, "neo damn the both of you guilt tripping women. Just because you're an android doesn't mean i devalue you. You are both precious. Now shut up cause i'm losing manliness points here." He said even as he couldn't make eye contact and his face was flushed bright red.

Isas smiled and got up, "it's nearly the 10th dark hour papa, time for bed." She said befpre skipping off to the bedroom to change.

Hina replaced her and kissed Hugh's cheek, "you gained some manly points in my databanks Hugh." She said before sauntering off after Isas to change as well.

Hugh sighed and got up to head to bed, being in space with two familial androids was gonna wear him out faster than the acid on those trees that morning.

As he stepped up to his doorway an alarm went off, "son of a bitch what now?" Hugh said before hitting the hallway terminal. The picture was very static filled but the audio was clear, "no time for formalities space boy, our resident new dumbass sent one of your crates too soon, we've calculated the trajectory and it's gonna hit the fifth planet in your system. The info says it's a barren 1g wasteland but you'll need to recover it asap before the cargo gets spooked. No atmosphere, no creatures, just terrible wind storms and hella lightning. You need to get there as soon as it crashes in 13 gs hours. Get some sleep, i got a feeling you'll need it, Thern out!" And the. The data feed cut.

Hugh stood there with a blank expression, "Dammit Hina now we have a mission tomorrow." He grumbled before walking into his room. He didn't see the girls but he knew they would be there quick so he changed into his boxers quickly and hopped into bed. As soon as he did he heard two sets of running feet and covered his body protectively.

Not a moment too soon as two female model androids fell on top of him with a squeal of glee. All they wore was a light see through night gown as they wiggled under the covers and snuggled up to Hugh.

He simply sighed as they said goodnight to him and powered down, letting his body heat recharge them. And to the feel of two 69° androids surrounding him he fell into his own sleep state.
