"So, you say that you are a Karakuri Chachamaru," Aaron began, "Is that your model designation? Product number?"

"...Umm...It's my name?" The robot provided unhelpfully.

"..." Aaron was silent, tilting his head in confusion, "Like a pet?"

"No, no," Chachamaru replied, "It's my name. My name as a person."

"Hahaha, that's just silly." Aaron chuckled lightly, "Appliances aren't people!" The engineer slapped his knee in amusement, before leveling a finger at the green haired gynoid, "Now, what can you tell me about how you work? I've got you plugged in, and unless I can find some cost effective way of keeping you powered, I'll have to consider tossing you back into space in order to save energy."

Chachamaru's logic circuits hummed to life, taking in this conundrum. After several seconds, she complied. "I run on...magical energy, basically. By inserting a key-shaped object into the port in the back of my head and turning it while feeding magical energy into it...my energy gets recharged?" The robot replied, smiling in a way as to appear shy about it.

"Magic doesn't exist." Aaron replied smoothly, whereas the gynoid in front of him appeared to become agitated.

"It does exist! I'm a magic robot!"

"Hmph. I doubt it." The engineer replied, "If magic really did exist, then I'm sure that there would be some system of laws that governed it's usage, after all." The blond man raised an eyebrow in challenge, "If you really [i]are[/i] a magic robot, you should be able to explain the principles of it to me, right?"

In her emotional emulation subroutines, Chachamaru felt the need to restore her imitated "pride" and so took on the guild tech's challenge. The lecture lasted for several hours, being interrupted first by the arrival of an unseen rodent from seemingly nowhere, three separate stabbing attempts by a young Shinn Asuka, and finally, the two-ship convoys arrival at the [i]Troya[/i] Space station, an installation belonging to the Deep Space Survey and Development Organization or, DSSD for short.

There, stuff happened, where Flit Asuno and Councilwoman Joule negotiated with the DSSD for access to working prototypes and data on their Voiture Lumiere technology as well as their other projects. In exchange, Aaron let them hack into a conscious Chachamaru, drawing upon her artificial intelligence to advance their own development into the technology by years. If humanity survived, the GSX-401FW Stargazer would no longer be just a pipe dream. 

This also coincidentally proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that Karakuri Chachamaru not only ran on magic, but also was from a parallel universe, on top of causing the gynoid immense personal pain. For some reason, Lt. Commander Badgiruele did not take lightly to the Gynoid's presence aboard the [i]Nava-Hoe[/i] and proceeded to force her way onto the ship in order to better "keep a watch on the suspicious machine and keep it from compromising their tender ship". An unnecessary concern, Aaron indicated, by virtue of having shut off Chachamarus ability to influence anything of a technological nature outside of her own body.

His assurances fell on deaf ears, however.

After a few weeks perfecting the technology and then adding it onto the [i]Dominion[/i] and the [i]Nava-Hoe[/i], courtesy of the efforts of Aaron, Flit, and one Selene McGriff. With the installations done, the Voiture Lumiere technology was then used in conjunction with the nearby DSSD satellite, Apollon A, launching the two ships towards their next destination:

Mars.
