It had been a solid week since anything had come up on the long range scanners, two weeks since anyone had bothered hailing the ship, and nearly a month since I'd left Centauri 7. It was times like these I wished for a crew. My small and fast smuggler's ship was great for fast runs between systems when the jobs were coming in. The past year had been hard though. Not much work for a smuggler when the galaxy is at peace. I'd already burned through all of my savings so now it was down to salvaging wrecks. A wholly dull and boring job, or so I thought.

A voice spoke through the systems speakers. "Salvage detected Heath." The mechanical female voice of B.I.R.D.Y. my ship's A.I. informed me.

"Finally some action Birds!" I reply with a grin. In the weeks of deep space we've grown quite close. "Can we pull alongside it?"

"Already ahead of you, pulling alongside now. Shall I extend the retrieval arms and bring it aboard?"

"Please do. And Birds, see if you can get a quick scan of what's inside and start tallying it's worth for me huh?"

"Roger, Captain!" The AI responds pleasantly.

After minutes of minute adjustments the debris, which appears to be some sort of life pod, is in the bay. Jumping over the railing in a full on sprint I quickly grab my hazmat mask and gloves and rush to the small hanger bay. Inside is a long, sleek, silver rectangle roughly 7 feet tall and 5 feet wide. It appears to have hinges on the side and what looks like a door on top. As I pry off the lid a loud hissing noise erupts from the capsule as a freezing cold gas escapes into the hanger. I peer into the now open box and see two shapes.

One, an alien girl of a race I've never seen before. Two, a female android of some alien tech like nothing else in Earth space. She looks completely real except for her eyes which appear to be two screens.

"Birdy, what the hell is this thing?" I ask, taking stock of the situation.

"A Cryo-Pod." The AI's voice says. "The alien girl is of an unknown species not found in my data banks but her vitals appear to be stable and rising. She should awaken shortly. The android appears to be an advanced humanoid prototype. I could try to interface with it. Would you like me to attempt to possess the shell and awaken the droid?"

"Hmm... decisions decisions. " I say aloud scratching the bottom of my unshaved chin.

In the mood for a fun SciFi Roleplay tonight with a rogue and a sexy lady on board his ship. I would like for someone to play as either the alien girl or the AI inside the android or both if you'd like. Please describe briefly what your character looks like and we'll go from there.
