Hana was perfectly enjoying her tart as Fallon and Liezel sat beside her. Hildegard used their break time as an advantage to introduce the AI she was working on for her robotics class.
The German girl raised a small blackboard that said: His name is Mikebot. Ask him questions.
Everyone stared at the little dude. Mikebot's a mechanical robot with a large head that looked like a Nintendo game console, a small body with two arms and legs.
"What time is it?" Fallon asked. "And is it going to rain?"
"Boring," Samantha yelled. "You have your phone to check the weather update!"
But despite that, Mikebot replied with his little voice. "It's three in the afternoon with a cloudy chance of rain."
"What's the most poisonous mushroom?" Liezel took a shot at questioning.
"LIEZEL!" Fallon said, her voice scolding.
Liezel merely gave her signature cackle as Mikebot replied with clear precision. "Scientific name: Amanita phalloides, more commonly known as the Death Cap."
"What's Hildegard thinking right now?" Samantha pointed a fry at the robot.
"That you're an idiot!" the high-pitched reply of the little dude was a little too loud as he pointed back to Amanda's face.
"WOAH! Alexa, Siri and Sophia beware!" Samantha grinned, enjoying the responses Mikebot gave them.
Hildegard took a series of cardboard and showed them to the group one by one.
I made him because I need a helping hand in performing various tasks and as well to express myself. So everything he knows he either learned from me or because I connected him to the web. I'm still adding the feature where I allow him to speak on my behalf. So for now, I programmed him to have sentience and intelligence of his own, allowing him to work independently.
"It's so beautifully made!" Natalya said as she took a piece of donut from the box on the table and handed it to her. "Here's a prize."
Hildegard smiled as she accepted the donut and happily ate it.
Being introduced by Hildegard's gadgets, Natalya'scooking and Amanda's prank stories and ideas were some of the reasons why Hana love hanging out with the group. And on every occasion they were together, Hana knew what was up inside Liezel's devious mind. Although frequently she couldn't tell what sort of surprises and pranks were actually brewing, she just knew that she's always up to no good.
"The treats and teas should perfectly be free of any mushroom sauce, okay?" Hana asked, reminding Liezel not to mess with Natalya's proud creations.
"Yes of course," Liezel said in a monotone. "After all, it would be obvious which treat has a mushroom sauce. All my handmade brews have a different color among all sauces. You are an idiot to always fall for them."
