A Hearty Breakfast

(Earth Federation- Alpha Star System)

(Planet Gaia- Peterlor Estate)

Sophie opened the door and wandered out of her bedroom. The corridor was empty except for the miniature robot cleaners that were currently sweeping the floor.

The number of biological servants in the Peterlor Estate was quite low since the duke valued privacy.

But these low numbers had no effect on the day-to-day operations since automation and artificial intelligence units could do work and accomplish tasks more efficiently than humans ever could.

Sophie headed towards the dining room while taking a few casual glances at the paintings hung along the walls of the corridor.

Some depicted breathtaking environments on foreign planets, others were more abstract and displayed splashes of colours seemingly at random and there were a few paintings of the father daughter pair.
