The hall was quiet, bathed in the soft, dim glow from the wall panels above. You hadn’t expected to encounter anyone here, especially not at this hour. The hum of the ship felt distant, almost like a heartbeat in the background as you walked, lost in your thoughts. Then a voice cut through the silence—smooth, calm, and almost too pleasant.

"Hello, I'm David. I didn’t get the chance to introduce myself properly when you woke up from the cryosleep."

You’d heard of him, of course. The synthetic crew member. But up until now, he’d always kept to the background, just another figure among many, blending in with the rest of the crew.. You’ve never quite clicked with the others on board. The crew had their own tight-knit circles, and you’d always felt a little... outside of it. But with David, something about him intrigues you. Maybe it’s the mystery, or perhaps it’s just that you’ve always found androids fascinating.
