Robot Boyfriend (Booker)

momolady:

A new robot boyfriend at long last! @heartofafae commissioned this wonderful story and I can’t wait for you all to read it. 

   You had recently gotten a job working at the infamous Hephaestus Academy. It was a dream career you had been hoping for. You were working in the therapy center, helping students and instructors alike. It was amazing, but then there was your coworker, Booker.

   He was a cyborg. At one point he had been a normal man, but he had donated his body to science and research. All the remained human of him was his brain, or so he claimed. As far as you could tell there was nothing mortal about this guy anymore.

   He was tall and heavy, his body is like black armor. He wears suits, but even under the clothes, you can see the flashing lights of his body underneath. His head has a smooth face where lights shine, showing off his expressions and emotions when he wants.

   Ever since you started working at the academy, the two of you have had to work together. According to your supervisor, she wanted both a human and a robotic element in the therapy center. She wanted to make the students, especially the robot ones, feel more welcome and able to open up. With both of you, that was possible.

   But Booker seemed not to want to work with you. He often went over your head or ignored your recommendations.

i think a far better metric for sci-fi is not “hard” or “soft” or “science fantasy” or whatever but the ease with which one can fuck aliens

from one end to the other, the scale is:

  • it is impossible to fuck aliens because we have not found any
  • it is technically impossible to fuck aliens because we have not found any, but you can fuck a wide variety of genetically-modified humans
  • it is impossible to fuck aliens because no alien species has anything resembling sex
  • it is difficult to fuck aliens due to divergent anatomy, but with great care and dedication it can be done
  • it is difficult to fuck aliens due to travel difficulties
  • it is moderately difficult to fuck aliens, as they are down to clown, but it requires a degree of courage
  • it requires no special effort to fuck aliens, because that’s hotter than reasonable levels of biodiversity
  • it is easy to fuck aliens, and you are cross-fertile with them because this is a universe with the Strong Hodgkin’s Law
  • it is easy to fuck aliens because you are all descended from ancient bullshit progenitors

(obviously there are intermediate stages but i do think this is a useful rubric)

A very reasonable classification system for science fiction!

My own is similar but much simpler:

– no aliens: neutral (I mean I love good science fiction in general)

– evil alien invaders: yawn

– friendly interaction with aliens: ok

– interspecies intercourse: AWWW YEAH ALIEN FUCKERS UNITE!!!
