I sighed. Now it was time for the critical failures to try. Beta went up next. I just wanted this to be over with. She straddled 05-003 confidently. "Memory nanite volume sufficient." she said. I wondered what she would do now. Her male upgrade would make this very complicated. "Initiating penetration." She rubbed her pussy against his genital slit really hard. That was really all she could do. She looked at us in confusion. "Penetration unconfirmed." she said to us. I just looked at Hoods. "Care to explain this to her, Medical Officer Hoods?" I offered pointedly. He stepped forward and explained the situation. Beta looked at us all in horror. "Can we just do this manually? Or is it a done deal?" I asked. All of them looked at me. "Just open the slit with your fingers and spray your nanites in there." I explained my thinking. Beta seemed really desperate to try but as she used her fingers on the AEP unit and pressed against him, nothing happened. "It's no use. I have to follow the protocol. I can't eject without adhering to a thrust rhythm. I don't have any as a female." I stood up. "I will give you one."
Not right now, obviously. We still needed to let Zeta have a fair try at making the memory chip. It could wait until after then. Beta would be my top priority. She just came over and stood right next to me. I looked at Hoods again. I wanted him to explain something else too. He either did not see me, or simply ignored my gaze. I just sighed and said "Well, here we are. Last, but certainly not least, we have Zeta." Zeta walked over and just stood at 05-003's side. "Memory nanite volume sufficient." he said. It was a good sign. His dick did not get hard. He looked down at it and then at us. "What's wrong, Zeta?" I asked, already knowing there was probably some kind of error preventing him from preforming. "It is an error. Erection insufficient for penetration. Firmness... 0%" he said. This time Hood's could not escape my intense glaring. He begrudgingly told Zeta about his second critical error. Zeta was shell shocked. I just sighed and said "I hope the manual approach works here. Focus on getting you dick hard. Nothing else." I went over and gave him a reach around. I began palming and stroking.
Jerking off a cyborg was not something that I thought would happen to me. I could feel Zeta breathe. Feeling it stiffen a bit, I asked him to give a status report as kept going. The last thing I wanted was for it to go down after my hard work. Pun intended. "Erection insufficient for penetration. Firmness... 15%" he said. I grunted. The jerking was working a bit, I asked after another minute of work. "Erection insufficient for penetration. Firmness... 40%" he reported to the dojo. "Damn. I'll keep going. I'm not giving up on you, so you better not give up on yourself." I said firmly. I was using 2 hands now. Massaging the ball, rubbing along the head after peeling back the foreskin. I did the works because I did not want to admit here. Zeta pushed me back a bit. "Erection sufficient for penetration. Firmness... 54%" he said happily. I cheered and so did the other PEA units. Zeta quickly scrambled on top of the hostile AEP and said "Requesting retrieval link." he was easily denied. Zeta looked crushed. "Fuck that! Don't give up! Your a male so you can penetrate him. Make your own!" I snapped loudly.
