Alexei nodded a little bit. "Yes, you're quite right." he smiled a little, looking at her. "I based much of his body on some of the bodyguard models, though obviously not quite as bulky as those are."

Thesa nodded, listening eagerly, "That was smart, modifying it to make him more like a slimmer more agile built model but with the same strength as the bodyguard models. What other models did you use to influence his design?"

Alexei smiled a little bit. "Yes, exactly." he replied. "I mostly just took inspiration from all the pervious ones, not just specifc ones."

"Are there any more of his model or is he the only one?" She asked, a curious smile on her face.

"He's the only one. I tried others, but they do not have the same…the same spark, yes? If that makes sense?"

Thesa nodded, getting what he was explaining, "Why does Zev have this spark then? Do you know what the difference is between him and the others that you've tried to create?"

Alexei shrugged his shoulders. "I do not know the reason. Perhaps because he is the first and I spent so much time on him."

"Do you plan on trying to make any more like him? With the same spark if you're able to?" She asked, glancing between Zev and Alexei.

Alexei shrugged again. "I do not think so. He was not meant to be a mass-produced model."

"Not even if you had someone to help you? I think one more like Zev wouldn't hurt, then he would have someone else as a friend of sorts beside me and you," Thesa offered, shrugging in response.

Alexei shrugged his shoulders a little bit. "I do not believe that that is necessary. In any case, I have very specific plans for this one."

She tipped her head to the side in question, already curious, "What are your plans for him? You just got Zev back, are you sending him out on a mission or something similar?"

"Not quite." he replied, glancing over at the android. "It's…very complicated."

"I can do complicated, walk me through it," Thesa said, her wording playing the request less as a question and more like an order of sorts, "Please."

He looked at her for a long moment. "I…" he hesitated, thinking.

She waited patiently for his answer, not catching onto the fact that he didn't want to share it.

"I really don't think I should share, the process isn't…finalized."

Thesa nodded slightly, glancing over at Zev and Alexi, "Well then, if you two have nothing else to do, maybe we could go take a look at my ship like you wanted?"

Alexei nodded, standing and letting out a soft grunt. "Of course." he replied.

Zev stood in a quick movement.

She stood as well, waiting until the other two were ready as she stepped out of the room. "Maybe one of you two should lead the way," Thesa admitted as she stopped outside the door, already not knowing which way lead back to her ship.

Alexei nodded, and took the lead. Of course, as an old man, he didn't walk very fast, but he wasn't too slow, either.

Zev was quiet, falling into step beside Thesa.

"How does your wrist feel now?" She asked Zev as they walked, calmly step in step with him and not complaining about the slower pace.

Zev looked over at her, blinking for a moment. "Better." he replied simply. "Thankfully."

Thesa nodded, going silent again. Showing her ship to someone new was exciting, and something she liked to do, though she hoped internally, Alexi would like it.

Zev blinked slowly as she walked, looking around the ship.
