[Paragon Group] Cold Calling
#5
His head ached. His signal to the outside works was weaker Sage took the holoscreen with tender hands and clicked his badge to his collar so it could be seen always and made his way to the seating area. Sage didn't look around. His attention was really on the screen. The itinerary. The impulse to explore whitened his grip on the screen. He could easily figure it out. But he was trying to be normal. It was a struggle.

After several long moments with just him and his will he set the screen on his lap and spoke clearly. "Hi Luma. I don't have any dietary restrictions. But I don't like when my food touches." while not a lie he wanted to see what it's response would be.

"Of course."

How boring. Though Sky would probably just blinked at him. He grinned. "Luma, I would like you to meet Sky. She is my personal AI assistant. Sky, this is Luma."

"It is a pleasure to meet another AI."

"And you." Though Sage was sure he heard a note of curiosity.

He wondered what he could get away with. The tablet was just sitting on his lap. The little WiFi icon with it's full bars. The settings icon was just a swipe away. He was sure it was. His fingers itched.
here. The signals crashing together.

Someone. A man stepped into view. He introduced himself and Sage nodded. But the pain was distracting. He blinked the times trying to clear his head as he stood up. "Could I get on your wifi?" sage asked. It wasn't a ploy. The data steam was too small. The withdrawals were almost instant if he lost his connection. Nox would chide him for the abuse but there was nothing better than the flow of data.

The man asked him why and Sage just shook his head. "Nevermind."

The man told him Luma could help him if he needed anything. But lunch would grant him access. It boggled his mind that he thought it made a difference when he good access if they were willing to let him in at all.

His head was pounding. As he followed the man through the tour. But it was only a matter of steps until Sage was writing an algorithm to hack the password. And it was only a few more steps before he had it.

Sage breathed a sigh of relief as he could continue his normal data flow. His head felt better and the urge for more subsided enough he could pay attention. As much as he could anyway. It was all very boring and mundane. Nothing fun.

And by the time lunch rolled around Sage was sure this was the most boring place to work.

They lead him through to were he could pick up his meal and left him to it. Which normally would find Sage sitting alone but he spied a familiar face. One he admired even. He stopped short of her table. "I'm a big fan. I used some of your papers as a basis for my own AI assistant. Can I sit here with you? I promise not to be a bother."
