"How would you help people have babies?"

"I can take the cells men make to make babies and the cells that women make to make babies and put them together and watch them mix, and get rid of the ones that will be boys before they start growing, until I get one that will be a girl if they want a girl, and then put that one back in the woman who wants a baby. That's the easiest way. There's other ways that are better but harder to explain. I can probably do that for animals too!"

"Are you telling me you would have sex with everyone? And animals too? And then go back to doing it with people?"

She's scared him. Uh oh. Careful now...

"It's a medical procedure. With totally sterile instruments baked in an oven and with new coverings each time. Not sex."

"Is the thing that kills people who have sex with different people germs? Is that all?"

"I think so. I'm not sure. There might be something else. But germs spread by sex and having babies when you didn't want were a problem even for the people who made me, I have a lot of knowledge about it, I know how to make these things men put on their I-don't-know-the-word to stop germs and babies..."

"I guess. Uh, I think I know which word you're looking for but I also thought I knew you were a god. ...Maybe you could use a different robot for every couple?"

"That will get... Expensive. Is replacing the part that actually touches them probably enough?"

This is terrifying, why is she asking him instead of a priest! ...Oh, right.

"Maybe if you're really sure they don't touch any other part of it? I want to ask our other priest about these things before I can tell you for sure. I'm pretty new at this."

"I'm pretty sure it'll be fine if I replace the parts that touch them and cook the rest really hot. I think germs are the thing you're scared of here and that will definitely kill germs. But okay."

"You're probably right. ...Can I father children that way? With your technology?"

"Hmm. I have to research it. I don't know as much about medicine. I can almost definitely make someone carry a baby that is as if you fathered it. I can probably make your body a man's body if you really want that but it might not work and it might have side effects and it takes a while. I'm not sure if I can make it so you can father children without machines helping."

"Might not work how? How long does it take?"

"Uh... Your new parts might not work right and make having sex harder. Your muscles and other things might not change to be more man-like all the way. You might feel sick or sad or angry during it. It might take longer than usual... Maybe six months overall? I'm not a medical not-god so I'm kind of nervous about doing something like this though... I might not be able to tell if it's safe or not..."

"Well, I'm not worse off than before I met you. What other things can you do to people's bodies? If someone breaks their spine can you fix it?"

"Oh, yeah, I could fix spines! Well, probably. Depending on what exactly broke. I might not be able to get them all the way better but I can probably help!"

"If you can fix them well enough that they don't die, that'd be great, even if you can't get them walking again."

"I'm putting a movable surgery center on my list of stuff to make."

"Thank you."

"Anything else you think is a good idea? You said you're not worse off than before you met me, so maybe things to make sex easier or more fun?"

"I. Uh. I'm not going to get married unless I have the other kind of body but I can have fun like this, it's fine."

"If you're sure. They had things to help that were pretty popular so they must be fun?" She shrugs. "How about a new game instead? Or another documentary?"

"More documentaries would be good."

More documentaries it is, then. This is how electric engines work! This is how gas engines used to work but they're pretty obsolete these days. This is how industrial corn processing worked! This is how a video game is made.

"Do you have more about engines?"
