Sometime in the future….
Shelby’s eyes flew open from the homing signal booting up her system. With ninety percent power, she had enough to be on her way. She dressed and put on her shoes in the entertainment room, where she had been left her face down on a couch, and walked from the party house. At the end of his driveway, the pretty blonde sexbot set her bearings to a northwest pedestrian route and set about walking the twenty five hundred miles home.
Five hours later, in the midst of Florida’s heat and humidity, Shelby’s sensors indicated she was close to overheating. Her coolant was evaporating from her skin in tiny beads of simulated sweat. And though she was operating on solar power, her reserves charged to capacity, she was still in need of coolant to complete her journey. She spotted a fueling station with a convenience store near a highway entrance, and headed towards it. She entered the cool store and walked up to the young male clerk behind the counter.
“Hi, I’m Shelby and I require robot coolant. R260 grade.”
He pulled it off the back counter and scanned it.
