House bots

DW 01/3, 10 Gadgets Nickie bought to keep the Skaine ship clean. Purchased on Minerva Trading outpost. Different colors. In front of her sat four little house bots. Fully assembled but not yet activated, each was a different metallic color. They were neatly bullet-shaped, with several little arms recessed within their plating and an array of circular sensors around their tops and bottoms that looked like eyes. They were almost absurdly adorable, which made perfect sense for commercial bots designed for household use. They didn’t come any higher than Nickie’s knees in their powered-off state, and already she couldn’t help but think they looked like they were napping.

loved them. Beeping and buzzing, the four new house bots bumbled into the kitchen behind her. He simply plopped on the floor and started cooing over the nearest one. “I’ll call you Brandy,” he informed the copper-colored one and laughed in delight when it continued loading the carts for him. The silver one, the gold one, and the red one (summarily dubbed Lefty, Lucky, and Bradley respectively) trundled in its wake to help.
