ID4: Background Aid [Episode 212816]

by Kender

All Ranma could do was stare as he took in the appearance of the pair that came in. It wasn't that they were unfamiliar faces to him, but then again they weren't exactly the sort of individuals that he'd been rushing to see every day. Sure, he'd known them well enough, but the fact of the matter was that they weren't that close to him. In this case, having them show up was kind of surprising, and it wasn't something that he'd considered as one of the possible events before him.

Of course, there was no chance that he was going to chase Yuka and Sayuri out of there. They might have been Akane's friends rather than his, but other than gossiping, supporting Akane when she was mad at him, and occasionally getting the wrong picture about him, they weren't exactly troublemakers. In fact, he was kind of happy that they were there, since he did not hate them, and wouldn't have liked having them chopped up for 'spare parts' even if he did.

That didn't change the fact that he was a bit... uneasy about their presence, even if them being there on a whole wasn't a bad thing.

Rather, it was their current state of near nudity that had him put out. Not that they were 'ugly' by any meaning of the word, as they were long legged girls with pretty faces and good figures. What had him bothered was that it seemed that the ship had even less of an idea about feminine modesty than he did, and that was a kind of disturbing concept even to him. Neither one looked combat ready though, which he could understand, as, despite being in relatively good shape, they weren't fighters.

Still, they were certainly changed, as Yuka had what looked almost like armor, but in odd spots. An antenna, or what looked similar to one, was attached to one side of her head, and she had bracers on her arms, and a streamlined pack on her back. Her eyes did seem to stare a lot more than the others, and she had caps attached to her fingertips.

Pushing mentally past those observations, and decidedly not noting how the tips of her breasts were showing how 'happy' she was to be around him, he peered intently at her emotionless face. "You're supposedta be a help, right?"

"Affirmative. This unit is Y0U-KA, a support system for your usage," the transformed Yuka replied.

"'Support system'? What's that?"

"This unit's primary function is to act as data storage, interpertation, and transmission for a Master, such as yourself. It is this unit's sole purpose to act as your personal recorder and transmitter."

"Ya mean, I can have ya remember things for me?" he commented, scratching his nose.

"Correct."

"And ya just do this on your own."

"Voice recognition would be the easiest, as this unit can take your words in and record them as needed. Direct linkage can allow for this unit to communicate with other systems. And if you desire, you can use input devices to aid in your storage needs."

"Eh? How?"

She held out an arm, and the 'bracer' on it opened up to reveal what looked like a keyboard and a small screen. "This unit has several such outlets for your use in accessing its central memory banks."

"Ah... heh...."

"And if you so desire, this unit can transmit your instructions to other units over a limited area."

"Really? 'Cause, that'd really help me."

"Such is this unit's purpose. But this would only work for units already cleared for inclusion in the data network of this Master. For access to other units, interfacing with the main ship's systems is still needed."

"Of course," Ranma sighed, recognizing that he wouldn't get out of this that easily.

"All this unit desires is to be of aid to your needs and desires."

"Which is why the two of ya are just goin' right for the things here."

"As this unit and unit SA-Y0URI are support units, there is no reason to act in any other way. This is what we are meant for, and what we desire to do," Y0U-KA answered, feeling a warm contentment over the fact that her Master was setting her up to be used to produce his offspring.

Rubbing his head, the pigtailed boy allowed her to settle down into the alcove, while:
