Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

"Leave Papi alone! He is allowed to talk to me like that!" Sofia snapped as I glared up into the glowing red eyes of the mecha-wolf. It had its light saber lifted and ready to strike.

"Just fucking try it, doggo. I dare you!" I growled at it as my Roots undulated around me dangerously. This hunk of metal was dangerous, and I was about two seconds away from turning it into pieces of metal.

"Threats from a lower life form that is not my master do not compute. This means that you are irrelevant, even if my master thinks otherwise, Daniel Brighton," the machine said to me, but this time I could hear a condescending tone in its voice.

"Sofia, I am just going to disassemble this thing to take it back. I think there is something broken in it," I growled.

"No, Papi! Down boy! You two are going to have to learn to get along!" Sofia snapped, and I turned to her with narrowed eyes.

"Listen here, woman," I said and pointed my thumb behind me. "That is the dog, not me. Why the hell should I get along with this rude and malfunctioning robot?"

"I am working at peak performance, and all of my systems are running clean. I am also not a dog, Papi. I am a Lychon. Lycan, the Lychon," the robot said from behind me, and I whirled and poked the robot in the chest.

"Only your master calls me that. Do you even know what that means? For a robot, you are not very clever," I said, and the red light narrowed on me.

This thing was starting to speak more clearly, and it was picking up on the way we talked to modify its own speech. I hated to admit it, but it was pretty damn cool. I still hated the pieces of shit, but maybe I could turn it into a talking coffee maker or something.

"You are going to get along with him because I get along with them. You will do this because I do whatever you ask of me. This is the thing that I want, so this is the thing that I will have," Sofia said, and I turned around with a sigh.

Damn woman got me there, but it wasn't like I had begged her to be with me. Still, I couldn't imagine life a different way now that she was in my life.

"You are right, but you are going to have to train him. You also can't sick him on Aiko. I am actually worried that he might hurt someone. Please remember that, and don't make me regret not destroying this thing. No matter how cool or interesting this is, it is an extremely dangerous weapon. These are made to guard things or people that are alone. From what I have scanned over in the mountain of information about them, they are treasure guards. The only person that they are supposed to interact with is their master. Everyone else is to be killed," I said, and Sofia nodded.

"Yes, I know; I read what you scanned. All over your scans are redirected to me so I can archive the information. There is not very much we can do right now unless we can figure out what is powering him. Right now, all we can do is scan him, but there are too many things inside of Lycan that I have never seen before. I will have Abrol Viejo keep a close watch on him and keep Lycan away from the others for now," Sofia said, and I let out a long sigh.

"Should we leave? I think the lightsaber claws are nice and all, but I am not really interested in seeing how they work on human flesh. I kind of wished that I took that System now," Jack said from the other side of the bunker. Binder was over there as well.

I turned back around and looked at the Lychon that was still staring at me.

"Do you have a way that prevents you from killing people? As it stands, humans are not to be killed unless they are deemed threats. Do you have a safety setting?" I asked, and Lycan stared at me for a long moment.

"What was the purpose of my activation?"

"It was a mistake. Sofia pressed her hand on you before I could finish scanning or reading what your purpose was. There are only three options here. One, you act like a guard dog for Sofia and only attack aliens that try to attack her. Humans and Annokale will not attack her. Two, you turned yourself off for now until we can fix you to not be so aggressive. The last choice is I turn you off, and I don't want to have to destroy you. You are pretty cool, but I care about my people and their safety," I explained, and Lycan stepped back and went all the way down to sit like a wolf on its haunches.

"Sofia Diaz. Is it your wish that I protect all humans and Annokale?" Lycan asked, and she nodded.

"Yes, I think that is a very good choice. Is that good now?" Sofia asked me, and I sighed.

"So you're just going to act good now? Call me pessimistic, but that seems mighty convenient," I said.

I really wanted to believe him, but just saying it meant nothing to me when this thing could potentially kill people.

"You can connect with me via eye-to-eye retinal scans. You have the ability to scan, so point your scanner directly into my retinal cameras," Lycan explained, and I did as he said.

Suddenly, there was an information packet in my HUD, but it was red. I commanded my System mentally to try to scan it, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with it. I paused for a moment and then opened it, deciding that I needed to see what it was, trap or not. 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com

The information that I received was incredible. It was a full blueprint of Lychon 8.99 and over eight hundred and ninety-eight others. I now had blueprints of even the first model that was ever created, but that wasn't it. Not only were there the blueprints, but also videos of strange red aliens with fire on their heads. They were explaining how to build the robots and other explanations of why they did certain things.

At the end of it, all was a system report that confirmed that Lycan was now set to protect all humans and Annokale from all exterior threats. Now I was just confused.

"Why did you give me all this?" I asked.

"Long ago, those people that you saw were my creators. They were a mostly peaceful race that strove to know themselves safe. This is why I was created, I know this, but then the Gideons came and tried to enslave the Foria. They were too strong, but the Foria refused to become slaves. They ignited the sun with a special device, causing it to supernova, killing everyone. I was sent to a far-off outpost, but it was destroyed when I arrived by Pirates. Then the craft I was in was captured by Grays, and they crashed here. The one that created me is gone, but I know that they would not want this to go to waste. I misjudged you, Annokale, but I still don't like you. Even so, I think that you have the power to make more of me and possibly even better. From my scans, there are a lot of humans and Annokale on this planet," Lycan explained, and I nodded.

"See, Papi? Lycan is a good boy now! And wow! That is a lot of information! I am always amazed at how much our heads can hold! Look at all these! We are going to have to get someone to make these! When we get back, I will start looking with Gaia to find the perfect person to give the System!" Sofia explained. 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m

"I think the human brain has something like two and a half million gigabytes of storage in it, but we aren't really human anymore. I mean, all of you that have systems that I gave is, but you all have broken past all human limits. Who knows how much stuff we can jam in here!" I laughed and then let out a sigh. "I really think this is enough fun for one day. What do you say we pack everything up and head home? You guys can go over this stuff at home where Mr.tree can be closer at hand to help."

Today had been one hell of a day, and I had seen some crazy shit. Now I just wanted to go home and hit the tub for a bit before settling down with some space weed and Sofia. Then there would be the other fun after. That is, as long as the space dope didn't annihilate us. I wonder if I should see if Victoria wants to join?

"I think that would be a good plan. I could use a good soak before we relax, and I am sure you would like one," Sofia said as she came over and slipped under my arm, hugging my side.

"You bet I do! Hey, do you think we could smoke the space dope with Vic and her parents? I am sure that they would love that!" I asked.

"Oh? I almost forgot about that! Yes, If the other girls want to join, that would be good too! There is a lot of it, and it is always better to smoke with friends, am I right, Papi?" Sofia giggled, saying the last part in an American accent, and I laughed.

"Totally dog."
