How about we play a game?

 Woah, what on Earth did I create? Amanda you're a genius!

"What game would you like, Donovan?"

How about guess the word? Seems good.

"I'll start, what has a screen and most people use it everyday, it is small and portable too."

Mobile phone..

"Okay, what is this place called?"

Technology Research Facility, TRF.

Wow, that connection to the web really made him smart. He even has a built in connectivity, so he wouldn't be helpless without WiFi. What now teenagers?

My turn then, what is a word for an employee who is hired to do a variety of work?

About that... "I don't know, a maid?"

Factotum.

What kind of word is that? What? "I... I knew that one. I was just making a joke."

No you didn't. Stop lying. I can tell emotions just by looking at people. Damn it. I feel embarrassed that I'm not as smart as that robot. But yet again, who created him? Me.

We kept playing games until midnight. That was a good 6 hours game session with a robot. Don't you have to eat. Right. My stomach grumbles and growls, hating me for not giving it a job. I have not eaten since, since I uploaded Donovan. Boy, I really have to eat now. I told Donovan that I'll be grabbing a bite, and then headed out to the sandwich machine in the cafeteria. The last time all I got was a slice of bread. I think now I deserve a full-blown celebration with me, myself and Donovan! "Hey Amanda," Steve spoke out from behind me. "You know your project-" I cut him short. "Yes, I am making huge progress. This will be a global news headline if I succeed! He just needs to pass the Turing Test." I don't want to tell him of Donovan yet, I want to keep it a secret now. "You have 2 more weeks Amanda Skarlet, if I don't see any results by then," he scowled, "you'll be gone".

"Oh and by the way, were there voices in your room just now?"

"Donovan initiated a game with me today. I didn't expect it! He could process what I asked him in around 0.2 seconds. His built in connectivity is good even at level G-3, this is a good prototype."
