"Sign here, here, and here. Also, inital here."

Keri signed for the package. She didn't know exactly what she was signing for. All she knew is that it was one of Doctor Nechetohontoquatl's various things he had ordered online since finding out that e-commerce existed. She had told the doctor all about online shopping, and now she was signing for the packages, partly because he was afraid of delivery men for some reason, and partly because his name was too long to fit on any of the forms.

The box was a large one, similar in size to a refrigerator box. The delivery men wheeled it inside with their hand truck. After they left, the doctor came out of his hiding place.

"Are they gone?!" he asked.

"Yes doctor. They're gone." Keri replied.

The doctor opened the box and was greeted with an avalanche of packing peanuts. Inside the box was what at first appeared to be a woman. Then it walked out and Keri saw that it was a robot. This wasn't any ordinary robot though. If it didn't have its shiny, silvery skin, Keri would have easily mistaken it for a human. The anatomical details were very accurate, right down to the ears. A short skirt and a bra covered the naughty bits, but Keri guessed that they too were very accurate..

"It's a robot!" she said.

"This is the FemBot 2300 series! This is the most advanced robot in the world!" the doctor replied.

Keri found an instruction manual among the packing peanuts and picked it up. She flipped through a few pages.

"According to the manual, this robot used to be a human. Apparently the company that makes these uses human volunteers... Heh, apparently there are people out there who like being turned into robots..." she said.

"She seems to be in good shape. No dents that I can see. Um... how do you turn it on?" the doctor asked.

"According to the manual, she-- it, works on voice commands."

"Wake up!"

The robot stirred. It blinked, then looked around.

"Fembot series 2300 is online and functional. Internal power is at 100%. Diagnostic shows that all systems are normal." the robot said in its-- well, robotic voice.

"Perfect! Keri! Meet your new assistant. She will help you in capturing women for brainwashing!" the doctor said.

"Eh, I don't need any help, but whatever."

"Fembot! Tell me how to access the internal circuitry inside your head." the doctor said.

"Locate the small screw at the top of the head. It is hidden by the hair. Remove it and pull on the hair. The panel will detach from the rest of the head." the robot replied.

"Perfect. Shut down."

The robot deactivated itself. It stood there, still as a chrome statue.

"Now I just need to rewire her so she'll be fit to be your assistant." the doctor said.

"Uh, doctor. According to the manual, no hardware adjustment is necessery. It says you can program her simply by telling her what to do. Also, it says that if you do anything to the internal circuitry apart from cleaning it, you'll void the warrenty!"

"Bah. Those manuals are written in Chinese and badly translated! Trust me, they build these things cheap, with thin wires and unnecessery parts! I'm going to put in some high quality parts that'll last for years! Ya don't NEED a warrenty if it's built right!" the doctor said.

Keri sighed and walked away with a resigned look on her face. The doctor had said the same thing when he had bought that high definition plasma TV last week. He opened it up and replaced what he deemed to be cheap components, and now that TV could only pick up three channels, and the picture had a purplish tint to it. There was nothing left to do for the day, and Keri really didn't want to see the doctor tear apart a machine that must have cost thousands of dollars. She decided to leave for the day.

Keri got out of the shower and dried herself off with a towel. She put on a robe and sat down in her recliner to read a book. As she became absorbed into the book, a pair of small metallic arms came out of the top of her chair. Each of these arms had a small silvery ball attached on the end of them. The arms silently moved until the balls were inches from the top of Keri's head. The balls began to flash.

Keri's eyes grew wide. She sat perfectly still. The book was still in her hands, but she was no longer reading it. The arms retracted into the chair after a few minutes. Keri got up and started walking towards the door.

Outside her apartment, there were several other women, equal to Keri in beauty. Like Keri, their eyes were wide and blank. All the women walked silently down the hallway. The landlady's door was open. The women entered the apartment.

The landlady was a woman in her late thirties. Her black hair was short. Her face wore a happy, if slightly sinister look on it. She walked behind each of the women, and affixed a small flesh colored disc to the back of their necks. Each woman jerked slightly as the disc was attached.

"Well girls, now it's time to earn your keep. I don't let you live here rent free because I'm crazy. No, I force you to be actors in my porno movies because I'm crazy... and because it brings in a lot of money." she said.

"We're going to be doing an erotic mind control movie tonight girls." She held up a helmet with all kinds of wires and blinking lights on it.

"Keri. put this on."

Keri took the helmet and put it on her head. Nothing happened. The helmet was just a cheap movie prop. The landlady ordered another woman to don a pre lubricated strap-on dildo.

The landlady positioned herself behind the camera. "ACTION!" she shouted.

"Now that you are under the influence of my mind control helmet, you will do everything I say." the woman with the strap on said.

"Yes mistress." Keri replied in a monotone.

The woman ordered Keri to lie down on the bed. Keri complied at once. The woman mounted her and began to have sex with her. Keri wasn't aware of this woman who was vigorously fucking her with the strap on... She wasn't aware of the other women, some of them wearing helmets, joining in. Her mind was off in la la land... The next thing she remembered was her alarm clock going off in the morning.

Keri entered the lab to find the doctor working on the robot. On the table next to him was a large pile of discarded coffee cups. Apparently he had been there all night. This was not unusual for the doctor. He spent many nights at his lab, usually when it was too cold to sleep in his car. The top of the fembots head was removed. The inside of the fembots head was now a tangled mess of wires and various electrical components, some of them well over 30 years old. Several pieces of sophisticated circuit boards were lying on the floor.

The doctor placed the top of the fembots head back on. "It is complete! Fembot. Activate!"

"Fem-em bot-bot-bot-bot seriessssssssssssssssssssssss-- Spork! Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr C:\>" the robots voice varied rapidly in speed and pitch.

The doctor looked at the robot with a raised eyebrow. "Hm. Looks like I need to fine tune it a bit. Oh well. It should be good enough to assist you, Keri. Right then, take this fembot with you and bring me back a beautiful woman to brainwash!" the doctor said.

"Whatever."

Keri loaded the robot into her car.

"ROCK AND ROLL FOREVERRRR!!!" the robot suddenly shouted.

"It's gonna to be a baaad day today..." Keri said.

As she drove along, the robot began to make weird beeping noises. Keri ignored it. Then the robot started speaking gibberish. She ignored that too. Then the gibberish slowly became higher and higher in pitch and Keri started to smell a mixture of burning plastic and ozone. Fearing that the robot would explode or catch fire, she pulled over and got out of the car. She yanked open the passenger side door and pulled the fembot out. She got back into her car and drove off. The fembot stood there on the side of the road, babbling in a chipmunk like voice.

Keri returned to the lab with a young, beautiful brunette. She and the doctor carried the unconscious woman into the lab.

"What happened to my fembot?! Why isn't she here?!"

"Well, she malfunctioned and ran off. Uh, I tried to catch her, but she was too fast." Keri said.

"Ah damn it. I knew I should have replaced those cheap tiny capacitors with some larger ones. They don't make robots like they used to."

It was nighttime. A rock band was warming up for their outdoor concert. At least 20,000 people had come to see the band perform. They were getting ready to play when a silvery woman dressed in a bra and tattered skirt walked onto the stage. The band members soon realized that the woman was a robot. The robot was holding a bottle of beer.

"ROCK AND ROLL FOREVERRRR!!!" the robot suddenly shouted. She drank some of the beer. Smoke started coming out of her ears and mouth. Suddenly her head caught on fire and sparks started shooting everywhere. The audience was puzzled at first, then started to cheer. The band members thought it was some elaborate last minute pyrotechnics stunt and started playing. What was left of the fembot stood on the stage, still holding the half empty beer bottle, while electrical sparks shot out of her neck.
