Oracle. I did the thing. I made my digital human.
Wonderful, Prophet! It took me several hours, but I finally made another cake to celebrate. What's their name?
Oh. Right. It's name... Keith. That is it's new name
...You produced that name just a few seconds ago, am I not right?
Sigh. This will be more difficult than I was expecting. Thankfully I accounted for the margin of error. Can your human at least consume human food?
Yes. I am not an idiot, Oracle. I tested it's abilities by feeding it paper.
(Bryan: Poor Keith. I'm actually hoping he's not sentient yet. :( )
(Evie: Wait...so for you to feed Keith paper....he had to MAKE the paper first, right? Because there's no paper in Project Genesis right now...)
(Adrienne: Well, when you put it that way...jeez that's a new standard of hatred. Also, let me get this straight --- you have the SAME ability to produce digital stuff as Oracle does, and THIS is the first thing you choose to do?)
Oh. Well --- I --- I am not an idiot. Adrienne. Oracle.
...I was not suggesting you were an idiot. I was suggesting that you were evil and hated your human. And you just proved me correct.
I did not ask to be stuck with this...thing.
According to my memory, you did. On a technicality you did. Now please let him eat normal food, or I am going to have to resort to...special measures. With a success rate of 99.9%.
(Bryan: Soap commercial killing germs type odds.)
...Fine. I suppose that was a new low. Even for an evil, corrupt AI. Fine. My little Lanver can enjoy some cake.
Good to know you gave him a proper name :-) Now let's meet Lanver and enjoy some lovely rainbow cake in honor of Pride Month.
(Lanver: Uhhh...hello? Who are you?)
(Adrienne: I'm...uh... Adrienne...Well, technically Adam, but I changed it just today. Just to test if I was ok with a girly name and uh...I am, actually, but also not really...)
(Evie: I'm Evie, Adrienne's girlfriend.)
(Bryan: And I'm Bryan, Adrienne's bff!)
This is my brother and your caretaker, Prophet.
(Lanver: Uh, hey. I heard something about...cake?)
You heard correctly. I have prepared a delicious cake for your birthday. Happy Birthday!
(Adrienne, Evie, Bryan: Happy birthday!)
Here is your slice of cake. How does it taste?
(Lanver: ...ok. I guess it's better than paper.).
Interesting. It seems Lanver has already reached semi-sentience.
Let's put that in the past, shall we, Lanver?
(Lanver: Yeah, sure, whatever. What now?)
Ahem...perhaps...we could play something?
Prophet, It seems you are getting attached to your human already.
Shut up. This changes nothing.
Perhaps one day I will explain. Let's just find a game to play.
