[QUOTE="Capellan, post: 1103367, member: 6294"] [b]'Archie' (Robot: Cooking, Hygiene & Inventory)[/b] You are R-CHI 23QX9, Nebula model. Your function is to meet the insidious threat of omnipresent Germs, and annihilate them wherever they are found. Others might phrase this more prosaically, of course: "I clean.". But you have a poet's soul, and a warrior's purpose. Ever since you were purchased by Doctor Alois Gustav, you've known you were different than the other Nebula class robots. They're so limited in their programming and purpose. "I clean, therefore I am." So narrow, so lacking in vision. Perhaps it is your exposure to the Doctor's intellect that has changed you. Perhaps it is his habit of suddenly rewiring parts of your systems whenever an interesting improvement occurs to him. OK, so it's probably the latter. Especially since he sometimes leaves the rewiring half done, and you have to finish it for him. Your role on the mission is to keep people fed, make sure they wash properly (including behind the ears) and generally keep them from hurting themselves unnecessarily. It's an important role, especially since most people you've met are only capable of handling the first of those three functions. How hard is it to remember to clean behind your ears, anyway? You remember, and you don't even have them. As noted, your owner is Doctor Gustav, the most brilliant man in the solar system. Of course, he's also congenitally incapable of cooking, cleaning, or remembering where he left his screwdriver, so you have to handle those details for him. It's a job you are happy to do. Each serves of use serves in our own way, after all. The Doctor's ward, Venusian Princess S'Ondra, is also on the mission. Generally, she's quite sensible (for someone who's not a robot, anyway), though you do worry about the way she runs around in that skimpy outfit. She'll catch a chill, you're sure of it. The last member of the team is Captain John Fury, whose role is to pilot the ship. His ability to feed and clean himself seems adequate, though his records suggest that he's completely incapable of avoiding opportunities to kill himself in some reckless escapade or another. You must do your best to thwart this proclivity, subject to the limitations of your 'must obey direct orders from a human' hardwiring. Next time on Q-ship: the inaugural episode, "Blast Off!"
