Chapter 5: Jeffrey The Eye Bot

The ship was buzzing with the news that they had met a sentient species but were confused as to why they came in the shape of ponies. Only one did not seem to care. And his name was Jeffrey. He was an eye bot that served as the captain's advisor and personal AI. The eye bot looked around at the scurrying humans as they kept the ship in tip top shape.

"Jeffrey, I need a report on the Leviathon's systems. Just to make sure everything's alright." Captain Corellious ordered the small hovering robot. A small groaning sound came from the little guy.

"Sir, with all due respect... you're worse than old people. Always worrying about shit that doesn't matter." Jeffrey said in a rather normal voice. He was called an eye bot because he was circle shaped and had powerful thrusters on the bottom that allowed him to float.

The captain looked at the small robot with exasperation. Sometimes it was just too much to bear, "Just... do it." The captain said.

"Yes sir. And... would you like frys with that?" The robot asked and made a sound that could only be interpretated as a laugh. The captain rolled his eyes and returned his attention back to the viewing screen. Atleast Jeffrey wasn't as weird as the talking ponies that were on the screen. Especially the blue, flying one that showed up.

Jeffrey studied the systems with about as much interest as a fat child is interested in the art of not eating so much damn food. The rear thrusters were doing pretty good. Considering the ship was propelled by small black holes. It sounded dangerous but was actually an amazing propelling device. The worm hole creator was at top notch shape. The hull wasn't damaged but then again why would it? Nothing exciting ever happened on the ship. Except that one time when that fat astronomer started choking on some homemade donuts. It was quite funny to Jeffrey. The small robot had human emotions put inside of him and it strangely worked out perfectly. Jeffrey came across a certain schematic that sent his systems into high orbit. This was basically the equivalant of robot porn.

"Oh baby... that's what daddy likes...." Jeffrey said out loud, which made the captain look at him with wide eyes. The old man just shook his head and laughed softly.

"Well, sir. Everything seems to be alright. I guess a 'I told you so' is in order." The robot said, making the aged captain groan in annoyance.

"If you don't stop that smarting off, I'm gonna' stick you up Nedry's ass." The captain threatened the small robot. The fat man that had previously choked on some donuts looked up in alarm. The robot looked at the fat man.

"But sir... it's dark, tight, and scary in there." The robot teased the captain, "And my mommy told me not to crawl up strangers' asses." Jeffrey loved to be a smart ass. In fact, it was programmed into him to be as much as a nuisance as possible. Apparently, the captain that was going to fly this ship before they left was quite the joker. Too bad he's dead. Because he Jeffrey would have loved to meet the guy who programmed him. It would've been pretty fun.
