Intro

My name is William Zane, but I insist on my middle name Brian as any reference to me. I work for Knight Industries as a technician. *starts to scowl* I work under Dr. Nicole Maris, whom you may know as Nikki

[rus_knight]

Disgrace? Failure? Machine?

Oh your vision is so clouded I'm surprised you're not running into walls.

[bent_on_revenge]

*raises an eyebrow*

And who are you to say something like that to me?

[rus_knight]

*raises a combative eyebrow*

And who are you to say that I can't? I got news for you pal, this is a free country, and I'll say to you whatever I please, and I dare you to try and stop me.

As for hurting Zephyr... *narrows her eyes* I'd just love to see you try that too...

[bent_on_revenge]

*waves a dismissive hand* Please, miss, I have better things to do.

I'd just love to see you try that too...

*vaguely amused* This is a free country, remember? I believe that goes for doing what one wants as well. *shrugs* For the most part, at least...

[ki2k]

Talk about putting all of your eggs into one basket... Just in time for Easter. What a coincidence.

Mr. Zane, I was not aware that the AI program was designed with the sole intent of making anyone rich. Whatever gave you that idea?

You would really use the tactics of exploitation and manipulation for your own personal financial gain?

[bent_on_revenge]

*eyes Kitt* Ahh, the Knight Industries 2000. I should've known you'd still be around here...

I'll really do whatever I want.

After all -- it belongs to me anyway.

[ki2k]

The Knight Industries 2000. Indeed. My name is KITT, Mr. Zane, thank you. And don't worry, I'm never far.

You'll do whatever you want? On whose authority?

'IT'? 'It' belongs to you? Zephyr is an intelligent, sentient being. HE belongs to no one but himself. The truck may be in your name, but I can assure you, Zephyr will NEVER belong to you.

I suppose you think so little of me and TKR as well, am I correct?

[bent_on_revenge]

*rolls his eyes* And I should have known that you'd argue about the "sentience" of my AI as well.

I think you all need to accept the fact that the truck and everything within it is mine, and my failed creation. The AI is made up of bubble chips and circuit boards and diodes... nothing that makes it "himself". So it -- as a whole -- is indeed mine.

TKR? Please. TKR is Nicole Maris' little dream world. *his expression darkens at Nicole's name* I have no concern for TKR -- they are all the same. And if you associate yourself with them... then I think the same of you.

[phoenix_rising_]

Y'know, it's ironic that your name's Zane. 'Cause you sure as hell aren't sane at all.

[bent_on_revenge]

*sarcastically* Such a charming young lady you are.

[phoenix_rising_]

*sweetly*

Why thank you.

*half a dozen ice cubes drop down the back of his shirt and into his pants*

[bent_on_revenge]

Agh! *shakes and runs about in an attempt to get all of the ice cubes out of his clothes, glaring at the young lady before him every chance he gets*
