Adventures of an Ancient Space Battleship

Chapter One Twenty-Four Ruyi’s Choice and Aftermath



Laying on the bed, she stared at the ceiling. She’d been lying here since R23-G dropped her off back here. Rolling onto her side, she stared at the box again. Putting that on would mean accepting the Collective's offer. It would give her a chance to make a difference, but there were also these upgrades that R23-G mentioned. Sighing, she grabbed them. Was it really a choice?

Leaving the box on the bed, she headed into the bathroom. Holding up the bra in front of the mirror, she considered how it would look on her. It was different from the sets she had seen on the female drones. Where the others were bronze with differently colored trims, R23-G’s had a blue trim. This one was silver with a cyan trim, and the bra was shaped a little differently. More like a training bra. The metal was a bit cool to the touch but it grew warm as she held it against her bare nipples.

Taking a breath she slipped it on, finding it to be a perfect fit. It looked really cute too. Pulling the panties off the counter, she stepped into them and lifted them up. Finding them to fit snuggly on her bottom. Then she glanced into the mirror, finding that she looked good in the outfit.

Looking back at the door, she stood there a moment. It wasn’t too late to take them off and change her mind. It felt nice being dressed in something again and already she could feel the metal warming. Before she knew it, it had warmed up to a nice temperature and it was hard to tell if she was wearing anything. At that moment the new clothes felt right and then there was what came with them. She’d be a princess, she would be in charge. As a girl, she’d always been fascinated with stories involving them and now she was offered the role. Perhaps not the same as she had imagined but a princess nonetheless.

With all that in mind, she finally made for the door. Leaving the bathroom, she took one last look at the box. Briefly, she considered taking them off and putting them back and then she gazed at the door leading out into the facility. At that moment she realized her choice was already fully made. Picking up the box, she headed out of the room.

Stepping into the hall, she was greeted by a male drone in full metal clothing. He took the box, quickly placed it down on the counter back in the kitchenette. Before gesturing down the hall, “If you would head this way we can get you ready for your induction procedure.”

She took a breath and turned the way indicated. Her choice was made and her path set. A voice, her father's from before the accident that took his legs entered her mind. He told her, “Always try to make the best choice you can in the moment. If it turns out to be wrong, you can always try to make it right later.”

Following the drone, she ended up in front of a familiar door. Behind this door was the room in which R23-G was made into a medical drone. She felt a lump in her throat as she stood there. A slight push from the drone prompted her to step into the room, where she found  R23-G was waiting for her.

The female drone was arranging a few objects on a table but noticed her “Welcome. Ready for your procedure?”

Before she could change her mind she forced herself to nod and then asked, “So what will this involve?”

She was guided by the male drone to the table, while  R23-G began to speak, “Well as this unit told you before it won’t be like a drone procedure. We will start with an injection, that will numb your senses or put you to sleep depending on your preference. Without it the procedure will hurt. Next, we will create an opening in your body to begin installing tech. Since your womb will be left intact, we will be using a different method. Your other organs will all be replaced and optimized. We will also be opening your skull, part of the brain will be removed and replaced with implants. Nothing that you will miss, and these implants will improve your ability to think. More importantly, they will allow you to control drones.”

She frowned, as the drone started to pull her new panties off, “Preference? And does he have to strip me?”

“The clothes will get in the way. As for preference, would you want to be awake for your procedure or asleep?”

Her mind flashed to the drone procedure, “Will you be slicing my limbs off?”

“Some cutting will be required, but you don’t need swappable limbs. We will be cutting off your right arm though for replacement. We will be cutting into your legs as well, but they won’t be removed.”

Some part of her wanted to watch, but she didn’t really want to be awake to experience it. After a moment she relayed that to R23-G who replied, “In that case, we will put you into a pseudo-sleep state and hook you up with a direct feed, you will get to watch your procedure as if it was happening to someone else. You won’t feel a thing.”

Naked again, she nodded and was helped onto the bed. R23-G pressed an injector against her neck and then pulled out a second tool as she was secured on the operating bed by the male drone. She pushed the long point into the side of her head and then a moment later she began to fade. When she came back not much time must have passed, but she found herself looking down at her own naked body.

It was weird looking at herself like this. She could see R23-G was now at the console and the male drone was leaving. Obviously no longer needed, while an arm descended down from above. The arm started by injecting her in several places with something before a laser arm moved and began to cut off her right arm at the shoulder. Just like she had been told.

When it came off, R23-G picked it up and then carelessly tossed it into a bin as if it was garbage. Before turning back to the console. Several arms approached her head, and began carefully cutting, while another set cut along the sides of her belly, then a strip cut was made just above her little pussy

The cuts made, an arm carefully lifted her skin up to reveal her organs. With them revealed, an arm moved in and began to slowly remove her organs. Her womb was left alone, but everything else was being removed and carelessly dropped into the same bin as her discarded arm. Apparently, it was all waste.

As the work was being done, a drone came in with parts, which the arms started installing in her body. Several pieces of tech were attached to her womb, while others were hooked in to replace her original digestive system.

While all that work was being done on her belly and in her chest. She watched an arm reach into her freshly opened skull and cut away a portion of her brain. That portion was soon tossed with the rest of the refuse, while alien tech was plugged into her remaining brain tissue. Once secure and the medical drone R23-G was satisfied with the connections, her skull was closed up and sealed. Leaving behind no evidence they ever opened it. While a new arm was promptly fitted where her old one was.

Down below a laser started cutting into her legs before the arms started working on them. Implanting devices into the muscle. Her organs had already been removed or replaced, so another set of arms were closing her belly up. Leaving no sign of the work that had been done.

The work on her legs continued a bit as they moved from the muscle to the bones. Drilling into them and fitting alien tech right into the bone. Eventually, she was flipped over and they started cutting into her butt, no wait they weren’t cutting into it. They were removing it. She watched as her butt cheeks came free, but weren’t tossed to the side. Other arms started sticking tech into them, while new work was done on the bone beneath. Little bits of tech were placed right into the bone. Once all the pieces were in, they started putting her butt back together. While several holes were drilled into her back. Allowing for implants to be placed directly in her spine.

That seemed to be the last of it though, because they sealed up all her wounds and did some cosmetic work leaving no sign she had gone through the procedure.

R23-G then proceeded to dress her unconscious body, while saying aloud, “We are going to turn you off for now. We will reactivate you in the morning and you can explore your changes then.”

Ruyi then faded away. Already looking forward to seeing what she could do now, but she had to wait for them to turn her back on first.


Reyna shifted in her bed. It was late, ship’s night. For her, it had been almost a week since she got here, but the ship’s hyperspace compensators weren’t working properly and they were traveling through a region being hit by a temporal anomaly. Here time was faster, in normal space, it had maybe only been a day.

Regardless, the time spent here had been working well enough. Glancing at the clock, she smiled, it was time. Slipping out of the bed, she felt the cool air brush her bare skin. A reminder she was currently naked, but she didn’t plan to dress.

Walking to the door, she stepped out into the hall. It was empty as she expected and with Anai’s Quarters so close to hers it was only a moment's walk to her destination. Usually, she would need to knock, but instead, she just opened it and walked inside.

The door closed behind her and she walked up to the sleeping form of Anai. Reaching behind herself, she pulled a familiar little tool from its port on her butt. Then pulled it out and pressed the little injector against Anai’s neck. This wasn’t her first dose, she’d given Anai a few doses since they got here. 

After a moment she leaned in gave Anai a little kiss before saying, “Time to wake up for me.”

Almost instantly Anai woke up, “Um, hi Reyna? Why are you naked?”

She giggled, “I might tell you later, strip please and stand where I can get a good look.”

“Of course, Reyna dear.”

Reyna smiled as she watched Anai turn a light on and start stripping out of her night clothes. She had been working on her every night since she got here and was happy to see this kind of progress. Reyna was going to need to start working on the crew later, probably the med staff first. Just not something to think about just yet.

When Anai was finally naked, she drew closer and circled around her, before grasping a breast. Like many Titari females it was decently sized, firm to the touch and fairly perky looking. She moved her attention down lower, feeling the other girl’s muscles and probing her pussy for a moment. 

After a couple of minutes, Anai spoke, “Um, Reyna dear? What are you doing?”

“Just a bit of an exam. You won’t remember it,” then she smiled, “I’m really liking your body though. Might have you strip a bit more.” Reyna finished with a giggle. She was totally going to do that, a girl this cute should spend more time naked.

“Um, I see. So I, uh, pass?”

“Excellent figure, good shape. It will be fun to work on your body later. Now while you are here, I have a few more questions.”

“Um sure, what do you want to talk about?”

Reyna gave her a smile and started asking more questions. There was much to learn and Anai had access to information they wanted. “Let’s move on to medical: What are the most important military medical facilities currently active?”
