-beep- beep-


The man sleeping on the couch opened his eyes slightly and tilted his head towards the source of the beeping sound. It was not his alarm clock,  but a flying metal sphere little bigger than a tennis ball, black in colour with a red screen as face.


The screen displayed a simple face with two dots and a line which changed based on her 'mood'. Yeah this piece of metal was like a teenage girl with mood swings which even the man couldn't predict.


Two triangular protrusions on both sides which looked like its receptors, gave it a total bat-like appearance.


-beep - beep -


" You know that I'm already awake right?" Stream was getting annoyed, he turned off his earpiece which didn't look like a standard model.


" Master as per your command, I am required to continue with the alarm until you get up from the couch and get yourself out of this room." Nova said in a monotonous voice.


- beep - beep - 


" Is that so? Then the first thing I'm doing after getting up is to delete your collection of "Plug-in bot videos" you have saved, and after that I'll also delete your Q-Bot account, how about it?" Stream slowly got up while pulling his underpants which he had forgotten to put back after doing his 'work' last night.


There were no more *beep* sounds anymore, it seemed that the threat was effective. The only joy of Nova's life were those videos which made her circuit go haywire and her processor excited , something that accompanied her lonely nights. 


Her screen displayed a sad face, " Master you can't do that, that's a violation of Cyber law 13B." She could only try to fight for her rights now.


" Cyber law 13B is  only for registered bots my dear Nova, are you registered?" 


There was no more reply from the other side, he didn't expect one anyway since it was not their first time arguing the same way .


He went in the corner of this 5×3m 'room' which was nothing but a small compartment with a small couch and a small fridge in the corner. The floor was Special having the function of auto-clean with  microscopic suction fibres installed inside . Still there was a mini-carpet for showpiece.


There were windows on both sides made of Forex-pitter material, Stream didn't know who gave it such name because it really sucked. 

At the back side there was a mini-cabin of 1 × 1m^² for bathing and fecal discharge purposes, it could switch between both as one wished. 


He went towards the mini-cabin and with a *beep* sound the door opened. There was nothing but a toilet chair and a toilet paper roll by side. He sat there quietly as the the door closed itself. The inside surface had a mirror which reflected him well.


He was looking at a man in his mid-twenties with black hairs and an ear piece in his left side which kept blinking and normal black-eyes. A lean and wellkept body but one could see some tiredness in his eyes.


Stream knew that he hadn't gotten any good sleep since a few days, he had been deep diving too much into those VR **** at nights.


He gave a light sigh, reflecting on it for a few seconds. This was his daily routine, even though he knew this wasn't anything good, he couldn't help himself.


" Nova, display." As he said that, the mirror's surface turned to a screen. It displayed a humanoid figure, he had blue skin with four upward slanted eyes. Two normal eyes and a pair of extra eyes above, a little sideways. There were two antennas like projection coming out from the place where his ears were supposed to be going backwards. Red hairs with a small beard of same colour. His nose was flat and long running to his mouth. 


" Who was this guy again? " He didn't even bother to remember this poor guy. He was so busy in those Deep dives that he put him at the back of his head.


" Zophra , Blo' ala species. They are selfish and have a flame resistant skin. Peaceful by nature and lovers of art and dance. They have advanced scientific knowledge and enhanced sense of morality. " Nova's monotonous sounded again in his earpiece.


" Selfish but peaceful? And high morality? They're such a messed up species. So what did this guy do?" he said that as he finished his 'busniness' and grabbed a toilet paper. The auto-suction function activated and vaccum-cleaned the chamber. He threw the used toilet paper inside too and stood up pulling back his underpants.


There was a small box above the toilet seat, he put his hands inside of it. With a *buzz* sound, a moisturized spray with a mix of antiseptic washed his hands clean which were dried by  molecular vibrations released by it.


" He is a supplier for our employee but he's been avoiding him since he got his last delivery. It was a prototype weapon that he's been refusing to hand it over." 


" Doesn't look like a person with high morality to me." " Bath " as he said that, the toilet seat folded itself and went back inside the wall. A shower head came out of the box and started a high-pressure vapourised shower . He cleaned himself well and the shower head went inside the pipe turning it into a dryer which used the same molecular vibrations to dry him off completely. He changed his underpants and came out of the mini-cabin.


Nova was still hovering in the air with an smiley expression, " Master you look surprisingly handsome today."


"No need to flatter me, I'm not going to delete those videos." Stream really doubted his decision to buy this discarded bot from black market as he didn't have enough credit to buy a standard one. That was the reason she was unregistered.



" I knew Master is the best!" Nova had a blushing emoji face all of a sudden.


"Please stop it, you're cringing me." He distanced himself from her as he went towards the corner and crouched down to open the fridge.


" Empty?! Where did my Mr. Smoothie from last night go?!" He turned his head towards the only possible culprit.


" Uh ? W-Why are you looking at me like that? You c-can't possibly be thinking that I took it? I-I'm a bot you know?!" Nova said with a flustered face which didn't help much covering her lie.


"That's what I want to say! Why would a bot even drink that? No, how do you even drink that?!" Stream put a 'shocked' expression.


" Master it seems you have forgotten that I have a built-in mechanism to absorb organic food and change it to energy I can use to power myself. Though that Mr Smoothie doesn't have a high caloric content it tastes so good." Nova had a proud emoji face while saying that.


" What good taste? Yesterday's Mr Smoothie was so bad that I just kept it back." Stream had a little frown on his face as if remembering something unpleasant.


Nova made a surprised face, " Master how can you say that! Yesterday's Smoothie was so good you kno- " She stopped her words as she realised that she had slipped up!!


" No more Q-Bot for you for a week now." Her punishment was unavoidable this time.


" Master , No! You can't do that! Why are you so mean, it was just a Smoothie! " There were two dotted lines coming down from her eyes.


Stream completely ignored this piece of junk and pressed at the 'recent' button at the side of fridge. Ten seconds later, it gave a *ding* sound. When he opened it again there was a cup full of Mr. Smoothies. He took it out and stood up.


" Mhm, this instant cooling function is the best function I have seen." He was enjoying his fresh chilled Mr. smoothies.

He picked his sweatshirt lying over the couch which served as a bed too, the shirt had a face of a bald person saying "ok". He wore amazon trousers which was clearly not his size looking by the wrinkles and folds in it and finally a black hoodie. Dressed up he turned towards Nova and pointed his hand around.

" Set this room or I'll seriously consider what I said before." Saying that he went towards the door at front side and went through.


" Sure!" Nova quickly folded the couch and sent it inside the floor, the fridge entered the front wall and the windows were shut-off. After that she followed him inside the Cabin.
