Customs Android

Description

For this piece I just have a short bit of flavor/story to introduce it, in the style of an RPG of some sort.

Story: The android on the other side of the desk is modeled to look like a chubby woman wearing a Korschak military uniform. Her voice is light but stern, and contains a hint of artificial hum to it.

"I'm sorry, but we do not have any extra quarters available due to the high influx of refugees. This station is already over capacity. And don't even think about sleeping in the hallways, the guards sweep the halls for indigents every night" She says, as she slides your paperwork back across the desk.

"But your ships are the reason we had to leave, our colony is a pile of rubble now!"

With an exaggerated sigh she replies "The Korschak Empire is not responsible for damage to property or displacement due to acts of war." The statement sounds pre-prepared and mechanical even for an android.

"Can't we at least stay for one night, we just need some food, and we haven't slept since we left Argus IV... Please there's children with us."

The android looks over your shoulder to view the handful of children milling about the boarding ramp of your vessel. "I'm sorry sir/madam, but as I just told you we do not have room for any more refugees..."  She pauses, looking around briefly before continuing "however if your ship were to experience a breakdown you could file for a repair-docking-extension, which would give you fourtyeight hours before being forced to leave during which time you could sleep in your ship. And if you happened to be transporting any livestock, you could file for an agriculture resettlement incentive package which would include type 3/4 animal rations" She says, leaning in close and punctuating her sentence with a mechanical wink.

Catching her implication, you nod slowly "Th-thank you ma'am."

"Now, if you have no further business with this desk, please be on your way" She says, returning to her stern militaristic tone. As you walk away you can hear her muttering quietly "I understand that androids are supposed to handle menial desk jobs, but what do they expect an Asimovian-robot to do in a situation like this?"
