If my discomfort, at not having somewhere to rest, was becoming apparent I was to be surprised as the ‘droid’ appeared. It moved across to scan him, gently leaned forward and its face touched his, as part of her face, made contact with his, he moved slightly, seeming to acknowledge her actions, then she moved away from him and towards me.
Almost staring, then proceeded to scan me, I was now nervous and angry, unaware, resenting, though having to accept, my Royal disposition at the mercy of some ‘droid’ whose protocols were infringing on being insulting !
I stuttered, ‘Deflect you eyes from mine ‘droid’, I am The Haphketsut Princess (Heir to the throne of Fendiq) I insist you acknowledge my status and start following correct protocols in my presence.
I remember, from my tuition at the Akademy, on Robotics and AI, the Galactica laws and wondered if this ‘droid’ had, as all ‘droids’ made from 3210 must have,the Signus 2 protocol sub routines?
Initiated by command ‘SignusR’..
I leaned forward and looking at it. hissed. “Activate and respond, your sub routine SignusR”
It stopped, still looking at me but. something had happened, it moved across to the main console and activated a screen then stood back, there was a low pitch sound varying in pitch until it stopped and the screen closed.
Moving back towards me, to move past me, its hand went up against the bulkhead, the panels moving, to reveal a sleeping compartment, not unlike his and a headrest. Then it, turned to me and spoke softly, but in tones I could understand as my language.
Welcome, Haphketsut Princess Cistera of the fourth generation of the house of Fendiq.
Please confine yourself, to this side of the craft and, as protocol demands, YOU will NOT go near the other occupant of this craft.
I am a class 5 bio morphic living tissue sentient, with defensive and attack capabilities, I serve only my creator and I have initialized, protocols SignusR with added modifications Omega Quadis 10 protocols which means awareness of WHO you are, WHERE you are from.
I will remain courteous, in respect of Royal protocol. Providing you do nothing, that could be deemed; as a threat to the other occupant.
Please respect in return, that I, am a self aware Algora 11 series 5 bio entity with integrated systems, functioning with independent thought and functions processes. She repeated, her warning?
A self aware, Algora 11 series 5, bio entity, with integrated systems, recognised across the galaxies as an incredible, independent thought, logical progression, advanced highly sophisticated being.
I, have AI, advanced beyond, most known entities, processes.
I can clone from mere TOUCH. Advanced replication and duplication synthesis capabilities.
At my command infinite language, species phonetic vocal enhancements, translation routines; sub routines. I am regarded as a Human(a) equivalent by my creator, something you will please accept, without prejudice,
I would not like you, to insult me, or my creator. PLEASE do NOT call me a ‘droid’my name is Tanya., I am a class 5 bio morphic living tissue sentient, It pointed to the sleeping compartment, I moved towards it as it continued,
“your Highness may I, fetch you, some liquid refreshment or food?” I replied no. It waited until I had removed some of my outer garments then climbed onto the flat but comfortable recline, resting my head on the headrest. A film of low light across me, forming a covering. I was feeling very tired.
The lighting dimmed, the ‘droid’ whispered,
‘ If you wish me to attend you again, please call my name’ it paused ‘Tanya’ then liquefied and vanished.

FENDIQ
Fendiq can be seen clearly,from the surface of Orias, with the lights of the main populated areas picked out as dots against the rich landscape.
The Planet is over 2300.00 earth miles from any one given point at its centre to the same point.
The landmass accounts for 2/3rds and the rest, is made up of water. Tsera as they’re known (seas) unlike Earth, these are NOT tidal. However storms in some areas cause immense damage and can cause rifts to occur where whole pieces of a continent can be moved violently causing the Tsera to flood huge areas of land.
Mines occur near the Tsera as the Trexl ore seems to be found near the Tsera where it is its deepest, miners who are caught underground, when the storms strike causing rifts, are often killed either by flooding or movement at the mineral core.
A fusion reaction with Trexl occurs, when Trexl is mixed, with a gas called Gxat and Tsera, in equal quantities.
Creating, a massive; explosion risk. Commonly it is accepted, that if flooding occurs, pockets of gas and the Trexl ore will fuse and explode with devastating consequences.
Luckily the chances of that happening are rare, only four known incidents in 900 years earth time !
One of them however took out a colony totally destroying and killing a population of over 30,000 Fendiq. The blast shockwave was felt over 10000 Earth miles away !
Fendiq’s capital is called Bxaris, after general Bxaris who defeated Couteige’ a self styled courtesan, whose treachery enslaved the then Haphketsut Mxiostr.I.
