Creating Another Monster, Part I

"Right..." Ash muttered as he closed the notebook.

He stood and cleaned up his workstation. Papers were scattered all over the place, and he had to collect them all up into his binder before he went over to the nearest technical engineer. Ash accosted the woman and pulled her of to the side, out of earshot of everyone. He went through his notes and explained to her the different aspects of the device he needed. Small, mass storage capacity, interfacing, contained circuitry, basically a miniature realm in which to create a playground for his latest personal project. She skimmed over them, and thought for while before she ran off thinking aloud.

With a mildly irritated twitch, Sigma followed the woman through the labs as she plucked up different conceptualisations that the teams had been working on as well as another two engineers. Together, they gathered around a small table and immediately got to work brainstorming something they'd wanted to create for a long time. She occasionally glanced up at Valente, watching him watch them with a giddy expression. Finally, they stood and handed him a rough sketch with doodles, equations, and explanations all over the paper. He read it over, turned it in his hands, and looked up at them. He gave them a grin.

The group gathered around a table and started collecting pieces. The micro-parts that Sudoka had previously manufactured needed to be shrunk even further. They'd lose functionality, but they weren't making computers. Only one device. A prototype for, perhaps, a future line of these little storage devices. Necessity led to innovation, and with the wild mind of Ash Valente at the helm and the creative minds of the scientific team, Sudoka would lead that innovation with a spearhead. For now, however, the needs of the CEO outweighed the need for profit.

The games were generating enough profits by now, anyway.

"That's all we need?" Ash asked, doing his best to keep up with the flurry of activity.

A tech nodded, and Ash sat back and watched as the small team gathered the components. Prototype processor cores, a dozen nanochips of memory, and from there it was all storage and matrices. The zoomed optics were so intense it hurt Ash's eyes to indirectly look at them, and they took turns constructing the little thing. One person would adjust the housing, another would lay more circuitry, and in the background a programmer waited to calibrate and format it. They worked tirelessly, even adding a little light to the construction, and before their very eyes the device came to be. It fit into an interface port, rather than having an attached interface section, which helped save even more space. Then the programmer got to work.

Valente continued to observe and learn as she typed furiously on her console. Strings of code came to existence and transferred directly to the chip. As it worked, the little red light came on, and it gave a sense of life to the technology. On a separate screen, a display showed that she was developing a whole reality within the confines of the chip. It had a limited area, bordered by seemingly endless oceans, but within that desolate world she set the tools for anything intelligent enough to exist within that world and shape its creation. It was a novel idea, but Sigma realised that it was a trial to test both the inquisitiveness and the intelligence of anything he created.

"It'll need to finish rendering and processing overnight. Let it rest, and tomorrow you can have it." the girl said.

Ash nodded and they locked up the workstation to prevent tampering, and let the device work for the night.

"It's finished, sir." came the secretary's voice.

Ash perked up and trotted to the lab, where the scientists were ogling the little device. While its storage capacity wasn't as massive as what was readily available on the market, its specialised design was what was impressive. It was designed for one purpose, and that purpose was going to be fulfilled. Valente thanked his team for their hard work, and donned the chip as a necklace. With this stepping stone crossed, he needed to return to programming, researching, and fine tuning. It was easy to make a programme; it was difficult to write an entire artificial intelligence roughly based on the most powerful creation he'd ever met. At least now he had a place to put his prototypes.
