Nikki Hawkins has posed:\<br\>Is Nikki allowed access into Wayne Tech's corporate offices? If she's not, no one seems to be stopping her. Does she know where Tim's office is? Likely has been told a time or few but sometimes Nikki forgets. It's hard when there's a lot of information already stored in the brain space.\<br\>\<br\>She manages to find the office she's looking for, and opens the door with a single hand and a shoulder. In her other hand she is carrying no less than five CDs in their own casings, and she's all smiles. "Mister Drake! Mister Drake! Nikki did it! Nikki spoke to the AI chat bot, and then Nikki got excited because the chat bot was being nice and learning interests and talking back and the chat was really cool. But it got Nikki to thinking that maybe she could take the source coding - cause it's easy to get the source coding if Nikki knows what she's looking for and so she took it and she started plugging it into other stuff and..and.." She takes a breath as if about to talk more...

Red Robin has posed:\<br\>Tim Drake was looking into something but knew she was on her way, had even oked it with staff. Part of the paranoia of being on of the Bats there is always alerts and things telling where people are around Wayne holdings. So it seems like he was waiting for her. Hello Nikki, how are you doing?" He asks, and even types something on a tablet, so his assistant will be bringing Nikki the type of drink she ordered when they had lunch. It is set for about 10 minutes to come, figuring she may need to wet here whistle by then.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:\<br\>Nikki pauses and looks at Tim, and his single question derails her train of thought entirely - if even for a moment. "Uh. Nikki is good. Actually Nikki is better than good, Nikki is great! Excited even!" Cause now she remembers what she was talking about and she walks right up to his desk and - after looking for room - spreads the CDs out onto the desktop. "This is the first log of the chat with the bot, and Nikki talked like a normal person would talk, cause Nikki can do that when she's focused. Then this one is the other log Nikki did but with Nikki talking like Nikki and not a normal person..." She then points to the third disc. "And this is all the coding Nikki used to take the source from the bot and plug it into Kookie's voice code. Essentially merging the AI bot into Kookie so Kookie can talk like the AI bot...but that's not all!" Another pause, because apparently breathing is a thing.

Red Robin has posed:\<br\>Tim Drake nods as she talks and listens to her. When she takes the breath he will ask "Kookie?" To see if she will explain who this is or if he will have to ask more. As she points to a disk, he takes it and sets it on a spot on the desk, and a portion of the desk glows red as it reads it without putting it anywhere else. Tim and his crazy gadgets.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:\<br\>Nikki blinks and, again, is slightly derailed by the question. "Oh! Nikki forgot! Nikki finally came up with a name for the new robot she's been working on. Kookie! Kookie will be able to talk like a person and not just with beeps and boops that only Nikki understands. But!" And back on the thought train. "Using the chat bot's source code, and merging it with Kookie's capabilities...Kookie can talk back AND learn habits and speech patterns. Which the AI Chat can do too, if Nikki reverses the coding from Kookie and adds it with the AI Chat." She stops talking then, oh except, "Which is what this disk is. And the last disk is Nikki and Kookie chatting, and Kookie learning her speech patterns." Nikki is all sort of glowing-excited about this entire ordeal.

Red Robin has posed:\<br\>Tim Drake nods a bit and hmmms a bit at this and will skip the one with the programming for a moment, getting the chat ones downloaded. He then will type something on his keyboard and then scans the other one putting it in a tighter security than others till he can personally check that one. Everything has security but new code gets the quarantine treatment till he can look it over. "So, how did you feel each version did?" He asks her, going through the basics before getting into the new code stuff.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:\<br\>"Oh. Nikki thinks it did really well. It seemed to understand some things and learned others. She did not mess with any original coding, which is why things are on discs and not anywhere else cause she wanted to show Tim first." Nikki says this in a way that's almost like a promise of sorts. "The one where Nikki was talking like Nikki took a little longer, but I think it's because it had to first get used to Nikki's way of talking, but after that, it did nicely."

Red Robin has posed:\<br\>Tim Drake nods a bit and says "How it would cope with that was one of the things I wanted to make sure of for sure. He admits. Well, I will look over this and see what it is. "Now tell me more about mixing this code with Kookie?"

Nikki Hawkins has posed:\<br\>Nikki smiles and blushes at the same time. "So, Nikki had written some coding for Kookie to be able to talk. Cause Kookie is being designed to be a helper. Mostly with picking things up, putting things away, bringing things to someone... but she was having a hard time figuring out how to get the exchanges to work." She offers. "The coding from the AI helped Nikki figure out what she was missing..." Then she looks down and almost guilty. "Did Nikki do bad?"

Red Robin has posed:\<br\>Tim Drake makes a soso motion with his hand and says "If you had done it and not told me then there could be an issue, or if I told you now to not use it there could be an issue. Will say you could have been in trouble with more cut throat business be it might have been an issue. Be it them trying to sue you or take kookie's programing from you.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:\<br\>Nikki actually winces a little. "Nikki didn't think about that. The coding only exists on those discs, and if Tim doesn't believe me, she can bring in her computer and have him look through it or reformat it or something." She scuffs a shoe against the floor. "Sorry Mister Drake. Nikki didn't mean any harm..."

Red Robin has posed:\<br\>Tim Drake nods his head a bit and says "I trust you Nikki, talking to you I don't think you would do anything bad. I will ask you to sign something saying that if I let you use the software for the AI with code of your own that is at least 75 % your own and you make any money off of, we will get 10% of all profits. And anything you use with 74% or less you have to negotiate with us for a percentage of the profits depending on how much code you add to it."

Nikki Hawkins has posed:\<br\>Nikki seems to think on it. "We'll have to see the true percentages, but Nikki thinks it's about an 80-20 split. 80 hers and 20 from the AI. She'll sign it, of course, and Wayne Tech can have as much profit as it wants." She says this much and then shrugs. "Nikki doesn't do this for the money, Mister Drake. Besides, she'll have a whole lot more to deal with if the prototype works and she can actually put it on the market. Maybe the deal can include production stuff if the prototype works?"

Red Robin has posed:\<br\>Tim Drake nods, and says "We can flesh it out more yes, it sounds like your project could be handy as you said for a helper bot and we maybe able to eat some of the costs by donating some to people as a tax write off, and good publicity. Not that is why I would do it but being one of the VPs I need to know all this type of stuff.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:\<br\>Nikki grins again. "Yes. Talk it out more later. Nikki will finish the prototype and come show it to Tim when it's finished?" Asking this much and then looks to the discs. "And you can keep the discs to check the code. Nikki doesn't need them back yet. Can view it all together when Nikki's done building!" She's even back to bouncing again, getting all excited once more.

Red Robin has posed:\<br\>Tim Drake nods, his head a bit to this and about then there is a knock on the door, and the assistant comes in with a drink for her and Tim and even some snacks. "So, what are your overall plans with kookie?"

Nikki Hawkins has posed:\<br\>Nikki takes the drink with a soft thanks and then drinks a bit of it. "Nikki wants to make a helper robot. What can help people who can't do things so well. Pick things up, open doors for the disabled, and if she can code it right, can even help with reminders to take medications. Even bring them to the person when it's time to take them." She takes another drink then.

Red Robin has posed:\<br\>Tim Drake hmms and nods his head a bit to this and says "With the reminder for medicine, you could also put in other reminders, doctor visits and such, maybe even some sensors for things like the week long diabetes sensors and such.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:\<br\>Nikki considers this a moment and then nods her head. "She didn't think about that...but that's a really good idea!" Though... "But it would take a lot more than what Nikki is probably able to do inside her garage. Which is where Kookie is currently being put together."

Red Robin has posed:\<br\>Tim Drake nods his head a bit and says "Well, we might be able to work on a more detailed and advanced version down the road if you prefer to finish her there.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:\<br\>Nikki beams a little. "That would be great. Just let Nikki get the rough prototype done and then she'll bring it here and can brainstorm." Then she downs the rest of her drink. "Nikki should get going. Thanks for seeing her, Mister Drake."

Red Robin has posed:\<br\>Tim Drake nods his head a bit to this and says "How about coming back next week, we will have the paper work and you can bring me a repot on the progress of kookie?

Nikki Hawkins has posed:\<br\>Nikki nods. "Will do, Mister Drake! Bye now!" And the exciteable woman is gone.
