Day 428- Open action
Morning

Lots of things to do today. Deliver the inventory system, find Ianto and teach him how to use it, if not help him with the stock at the shop, find some raw materials to turn into computer components, and scout out a place to melt the material into parts for said computer components. He had to do everything himself, but he's mostly spending his time in sector 2 to figure out a place within reasonable walking distance between the tech store and the computer lab. He's also gotta find a lab-lab for which to build all of the things he has in mind.

Oh wait, is there icecream? Definitely going to go try every flavor.

Afternoon at Jack's shop.- For Jack, Ianto or Felicity.

Did he think he'd be doing a tech install at a sex shop, really ever in his career? Nope. Not at all. But there's something kinda hilarious about it and right now he's crouching under a table and hooking up one of the computers he's stolen from the computer lab. They can spare a few. Now were's Ianto.

And what the hell is this thing supposed to be? Yes, Ray has crossed paths with a strange looking toy, and he wasn't sure what to make of it.

Evening

He's heading back to his apartment in sector 2 with a few new toys. A chemistry kit, a torch for starters, as well as other hardware and equipment. Plenty of stuff that might look dangerous to the uninitiated. To build the type of tech he wants he needs more control over circuit boards and the like which means having to personally melt metal into connecting strips. So, arms full of mega-nerd gear today.

[Duo caught sight of Ray and his armloads of equipment walking across the sector. Some of it looked like some of what he had squirreled away himself in his own place. Now that he was back there instead of crashing with Trowa and Quatre thanks to his ankle being healed up, he was back to his regular bigger projects that didn't need to be kept to one room.

He trotted after Ray to catch up, the black Haro he'd gotten from Feldt bouncing along after him.]

Hey... quite the haul you got there. Lookin' do build a robot?

	[Glancing over his shoulder he gives Duo an amicable smile. What's up?] Kinda looking to build the equipment I need to build better robots, actually. I'm probably going to end up being the maddest of mad scientists here. [His attention goes to the Haru and his eyes light up.] What's this little guy? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Duo chuckled a bit.] Creating your own lab, huh? And our 'caretaker friends' are okay with you doing this? [Haro flapped when Ray looked at him.] Haro! Haro! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not actually sure if I mind them having an issue with it. It isn't like I'm trying to cauae trouble, but after being patronized to that degree a little passove rebellion seems like the thing to do. [Hey that's super cute.] I take it your name is Haro. AI? [He looks up at Duo.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah. They don't really think much of us. It's hard to sit around and wait for rescue.

[Not that Duo hadn't done that before, but he had compelling reasons. Being told he was essentially not evolved enough as a being to help was pretty damn insulting.]

Yeah. They're actually pretty useful. Kind of wish I had one back home.

Haro! Correct. Correct! Haro is Haro!

	[Try getting that speech when you jave four phds. He's pretty sure all his acedemics and acconplishments mean nothing to them.] Hah. Cool. We dont quite have robotic ai like this, but I'm technically the father of robotics, at least according to that particular timeline we visited. Whats is Haro's function? [He asks the little robot.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

We don't have anything this advanced, really. Which is odd. All our robots are controlled by humans. No AI. [Though, to listen to Heero and Quatre talk about ZERO enabled Gundams, one would think they did have AI in them. But, nope... just some weird system calculating and predicting. Duo was aware of the science behind it. Didn't mean he didn't still feel a little the same way about the Gundams. At least he didn't think his was haunted by the ghost of his dead wife.]

Haro is maintenance! Maintenance! Designed to help with repairs! Haro help! Haro help!

	Robotics and AI are being developed together on my Earth. Like the chess playing robot, and i. Two hundred years we'll have something like Gideon, which is the AI on my ship. [His ship? Hes not even captain. He's just the... McCoy, no, Geordie, pf his ship. His attention goes back to Haro.] Looks like he's meant to be insistently cute. Kinda like a Furby.

	That's pretty cool, actually. But... when do the machines take over and become the robot overlords? [Haro flaps again, little red eye lights blinking at Ray.] Yeah... kinda, I guess. They're almost as much companions as they are helper drones. Gotta be careful, though. They actually do get bored. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's a movie cliche, but as far as I've seen concerning research into the robotics, theyre trying to avoid creating Skynet. I'm not sure about using Asimov's laws, but thats the place to start. [Oh no, he wants one. What can he say that isn't "I want one."?] Think you know how to build one? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
