“I...am...exhausted.” I said, plopping on the couch and taking a swig of beer.
“Is DeeVoid running you ragged?” my best friend Jungkook asked, sitting beside me.
“Yes and no. I mean, this is a dream job really. I get to mess around with top-of-the-line androids, the newest models. I get to tinker around and check programming, hardware, everything.” I smiled, as he smirked at me.
“You must be in nerd heaven.” he laughed, making me shake my head.
“Oh, that I am. This week was just particularly exhausting. They are...well...I’m not supposed to say.” I said, stopping myself before I spilled company secrets. Granted, it was just to my best friend, but I still had signed dozens of NDA agreements stating I wouldn’t give any information out to anyone. I could face jail time if they found out.
“Jesus, y/n it’s not like I’m goanna run to the press.” he replied, rolling his eyes. I stared over at him for a second, that mischievous look gleaming in his eye.
“Alright fine. There is an entirely new line coming out. These androids are next generation, Kook. You literally wouldn’t even know they were a droid unless you saw their charging port, and this time it’s hidden in their hairline so you don’t even know it! I have seen a male and female model and it is amazing! They are all randomly designed and generated so no two look alike!” I blabbed, excited to share it with someone outside my normal coworkers.
“Really? That is awesome!! Maybe I will finally get one then. I’ve thought about it.” He responded, making me chuckle.
“These are going to be insanely expensive when they release, which is in about a week’s time so you better start saving now. You MIGHT be able to afford one by the end of the year.” I responded, drinking more of my beer.
“That bad, huh? Well, I do have some money saved away for a rainy day. I guess I’ll just have to see when it comes down to it.” he replied.
“They are worth it, trust me. I mean their skin is so lifelike, I touched one and it felt no different than my own skin. Some even have real human hair, but the others, the synthetic is so realistic, you could only tell the difference under a microscope. They apparently have been working on all this for the better part of a decade, and just have kept it strictly under wraps.” I added.
“How are they...well...you know.” he smirked, making me roll my eyes.
“You would only care about how hung they are. They are made with the capabilities to be used for sexual purposes as usual, so of course they are going to be well endowed. The females are usually pretty stacked, but they have a variety of thicker and thinner models, depending on the client’s wants. Again, most are just randomly generated, others will be able to be customized according to what the client orders. The two I have seen are insanely good looking.” I replied as he looked at me with wide eyes.
“I can’t wait to see them!” he said, raising his eyebrows.
“Trust me, it’s going to change everything.” I replied. Boy I didn’t know how right I was.

The morning of the release finally came around and every news station had covered it, making our orders start coming through like crazy. I made my way to work like I always did but with a little more pep in my step. Today would be the day that I would get to start working on the new models, testing their functions, reflexes and wiring before they were sent off, and I couldn’t be more excited. As I walked into work, everyone seemed extra busy and animated today, everyone excited over the new release. I made my way to the small lab I shared with my coworker and put on my safety goggles and lab coat. I turned on my tablet as she rushed in the door, letting out a huff of air.
“Jesus, traffic is thick today.” she said, pulling on her lab coat as soon as she put her purse on the peg in the wall.
“Good morning to you too, Lisa.” I chuckled, watching her scramble to put her goggles on and get her tablet turned on. As she did, two of the new models were brought in for us, both covered by blankets.
“Ah, I can’t believe they are finally here!” she squealed, as the men who wheeled them in left.
“I know, it feels like we have been waiting forever. Well, let’s get to it.” I said, as I grabbed the blanket off of mine. I yanked off to reveal an absolutely stunningly handsome android.
“Holy shit she is gorgeous.” Lisa said as she looked at hers. I pulled the cable from the back of my tablet and plugged it into the port in the back of his neck, right into the hairline. I began powering him up as his almost feline eyes opened and he turned his head slightly to look at me.
“Hello, who are you?” he asked, his voice deep.
“I’m Y/N, and you are?” I asked, seeing how he would respond.
“I’m NCT127-Taeyong. It’s very nice to meet you.” he smiled. He already was speaking so much more like a human than the older models. They were a bit more robotic in their responses.
“Alright Taeyong, I’m going to check all your operating systems and the wiring in your neck to make sure everything is alright, and you are ready to go to your new home.” I said as I began clicking on my tablet. He nodded slightly and stared straight ahead as I began running operating systems. I looked over to see Lisa giggling as she looked at her android and plugging into her port. We both began running diagnostics and system checks, even opening the panel on their neck, which is next to impossible to find if you don’t work with them.
“Yay, my favorite part. Checking sexual function.” she said as she put a rubber glove on. I paid attention to my own android, realizing I was now to that stage as well. Normally they respond to stimuli just like any human would, since they have millions of sensors running all over their body, but we had to cheat the system a bit so we could move on to the next one. I entered a few things into my tablet and the android’s member sprung to life, becoming fully erect in seconds.
“Sexual function looks good.” I said, as Lisa chuckled.
“Nuh unh, you know you have to test it.” she laughed, removing her glove after having tested her droid. I sighed and gripped the droid’s hard member, swallowing at how lifelike it felt. I tugged him quickly a few times, making his eyes roll back in his head and him bite his lip.
“Alright alright, function is good.” I said, powering down his sexual function so I could finish up without this droid’s huge boner staring at me. I finished up his tests and powered him down before covering him back up with a blanket. As soon as we finished, we pressed the buzzer and two men came and took them away as they delivered new ones. That is the way it went all day, testing android after android, all of them completely flawless.
“Gosh that was a long day but so exciting!” Lisa said as she took off her safety goggles and lab coat.
“I agree. Lisa...did you notice anything different about these models? Ya know, besides the obvious?” I asked, taking off my lab coat as well.
“What do you mean?” she asked, placing her tablet on the charging station and grabbing her purse.
“It’s nothing, I must just be tired.” I said, grabbing my purse and slipping my tablet into it. I wanted to run over the specs some more once I got home. As I rode the subway home, I almost felt myself nodding off, my brain just exhausted from the amount of information I ran through today. As I walked through the door, I plopped onto the couch, feeling worn out. I pulled out the tablet and began scrolling through the pages of specs and information, becoming more and more enthralled with what I was seeing. If I was seeing things correctly, these androids were capable of so much more than they were being used for. Their systems were incredible and attached to so many sensors that it was about as close to the human brain as we could get. Maybe I was just tired, maybe I was seeing things wrong. It’s not like I would ever get to find out, not like I could afford one of these bad boys to bring home. I shook the thought from my head and grabbed a quick bite to eat before heading to bed, preparing myself for yet another long day tomorrow.
