The Droid hovered into the small control module in silence. "The contraction is progressing smoothly, though it is a rather unusual design." It reported with a hint of curiosity to its voice. "Puzzled?" She smiled as she turned to face the unit. "Of what species would design any vessel in such a manner." The Droid responded with a tilt of its head. "Reference file 271 of the species guide." She crossed her arms and waited as the Droids face plate flickered for a few seconds, then returned to its standard illumination. "I should have guess." It finally shook its head in awe. "Humans are a strange species." "Truly." She then glanced back at the ship beyond the portal. "And what is the time of completion?" "Three hundred thirty six hours. Primary systems are operational at this time; final secondary functions are underway." "Very good." She turned to look over the massive vessel in more detail. "And the crew?" "Construction is currently still in progress with program upgrades as you ordered. Though I do not understand the necessity of this upgrade." "Oh?" "They are not and never will be sentient. The necessity for social skills and personality traits not vital to the performance of their duties." "The ability to integrate." "Interesting. To infiltrate the enemy ranks." "Exactly." She smiled.
