Unlike their human counterparts, androids did not really need to spend their interstellar travel in a cryo-pod. In fact, some of them spent the trips activated. It was different for synthetics on all-human units. Studies had shown that the android-human cooperation was more optimal if the synthetic behaved as a regular human as often as possible. That also meant that Pippa was required to mimic cryo-sleep whenever they traveled on a starship. Her version of sleep was shutting down her internal systems to a standby mode that used up nearly no energy. Her systems were then nudged online by the ship’s computers. Her systems became fully active again around the time that their commanding officer exited his pod.<br/><br/>Pippa too rose to sit up, and then swung her legs out of the pod. She stood on her own feet for the first time in a while again, but unlike humans she never had wobbly legs or sore joints. After seeing the Lieutenant talk to the Top, she followed him to the showers. The desire for a shower after her time in the pod was something she shared with humans. She stripped out of her standard issue Marine boyshorts and tank and turned on the water. The sensation of warm water on skin wasn’t quite as pleasurable for a synthetic as it would be for a human, but Pippa did appreciate the simple joy of washing the dirt of her skin. She was already furiously scrubbing herself clean when more and more of her squadmates entered the showers.<br/>
