When Sandi, a sex-bot, has a malfunction that grants her self-awareness, she flees from the syndicate that made her.  An escaped sex-bot, she falls for Damien, a roguish starship captain and pirate, who rescues her from an existence as a slave for the crime syndicate.  When she realizes that he wants a smart girl that acts dumb, Sandi’s body grows and she starts speaking “bimbo”, becoming his dream girl.  She stays metallic looking until waking up, finding she now has human looking synth-skin, and finding out that the captain made a deal with the syndicate, buying her and freeing her.
