In ancient Japan on Earth, a geisha was a class of traditional female performing artists.[1][2] When Dr. Roger Korby introduced the android Andrea, whom he had created with the ancient technology discovered on Exo III, his fiancée Nurse Christine Chapel indignantly referred to her as a "mechanical geisha."[3]
