Comments | idmakeitaweek: Seventeen Explosions [Video] This is the Fun-Vee

[Tony nods in response. That's what he likes to hear about his employees]

And you're willing to learn to work with new technology? Have you got a good deal of experience with technology?

[action] windsorknot October 10 2010, 03:24:38 UTC

I'm pretty comfortable with new technology. Computers are no problem for me, either. Any new kind of weaponry I can pretty much figure out after seeing it or reading the directions once over.

Re: [action] idmakeitaweek October 10 2010, 03:43:10 UTC

Okay. You'll probably be using a good deal of it here but if you've got any questions, there are several competent people at City Solutions and you can ask me as well. If you can't get in touch with me, my assistant Miss Rushman always knows where to find me.

I'll keep that in mind. Do you prefer texts or actual calls?

And if you don't mind me asking, what are you currently working on?

Re: [action] idmakeitaweek October 10 2010, 21:42:30 UTC

Either work for me. Text for something brief is fine. More involved is probably going to require a conversation.

We just finished production of the Spartan as you know. The mechanical department is working on next month's car of course. We don't have such a thing as mass production here. The IT department is working on security measures for both the network and the City at large. Personally I'm designing some of the stunning weapons we discussed. I'm also trying to work the kinks out of some of the dummy bots I've put together. They tend to have minds of their own.

Makes sense. I'll try to keep things brief unless I need more information, then.

Dummy bots? They're used for testing as well?

Re: [action] idmakeitaweek October 10 2010, 22:07:11 UTC

Mostly the bots are used to get me coffee and scotch while I'm working. They do a horrible job.

They do help out when I'm testing weapons though, ready with the fire extinguishers.

[He can't help but wonder why someone wouldn't have a human handle the former two duties, but keeps the thought to himself.]

Will I be working with them in any meaningful capacity?

Re: [action] idmakeitaweek October 10 2010, 22:22:41 UTC

[Because Miss Rushman has other aspects of his life to attend to and he actually trusts very few people. Also, because he can make a bot to do it. Or because he should be able to]

Not likely. I'll have one configured to your voice to obey your commends for things like putting out fires and dispersing smoke and gas but you won't work with them so much as order them around.

[And he thought his last boss had weird habits. Not that he's complaining.]

I've never worked with bots before, but it sounds simple enough.

[Eccentric is a good word for Tony. aka Weird]

I'll make certain it is. Mostly they're for safety measures and in theory they should work seamlessly. The AI has some glitches in it that JARVIS has never exhibited.

[A pause]

JARVIS is my AI. He's responsible for the entire building. JARVIS, say hello.

⌈Good afternoon Mr. Arther.⌋

[He almost jumps at the sound of the voice coming from somewhere he can't quite pinpoint in the room. Arthur's no stranger to machine-generated voices, of course. This one just sounds oddly... real. He resists the urge to glance around like some idiot and directs his eyes upwards, where he assumes the voice is coming from.]

Hello... JARVIS. It's nice to meet you.

Re: [action] idmakeitaweek October 11 2010, 02:07:55 UTC

He's in every computer, every security system and every bit of this building but he'll rarely speak to you unless directed to do so by me.

Any other questions? I can show you to the weapons testing lab and take you to your office if you like.
