    The A-V-A-3500 was decommissioned after only fifteen androids were made, ten of them were scrapped for various reasons, three of them made it out into the world, one was never turned on, another resides in Dubai and is a mascot for street racing.

    The third one is standing in Beatrice's kitchen.

    Summary

    Miss Silva sighs, dramatic and put-upon. “Alright. I suppose I wouldn’t want you to lose your stripes for the grievous crime of using my name. But if you can’t call me Ava, can you do something else for me?”

    Beatrice nods, even though it’s dangerous, even though Miss Silva could ask her for anything.

    Perhaps she nods because Miss Silva could ask her for anything.

    “Can you think of me as Ava, just in your head?” Miss Silva requests. “Even if you never say it.”

    Beatrice considers this. A truly honourable person wouldn’t agree; decorum should govern the thought as well as the action. But Beatrice is already expected to tell Miss Silva no so often that it gets harder every time, and surely this is a small enough concession that no real harm can come of it.

    -

    Or, Ava throws everything she has at chipping away Beatrice's propriety, and it only takes several years, a pirate ship, and being absolutely shameless for her to succeed.
