Who: Colin, Ahime, Nathan, Paarthurnax, Rin, Zahi, Zuko, Zulf
Open: Closed
When: Day 237, Morning
Where: The Monument
What: Colin needs input to finish his latest project.
Format: Prose
Warnings: Colin, brainy talk
Colin's work over the last couple of days had been rather intensive, but now the hardest parts were done now. He had brought the projector out to the monument earlier, and then he gathered the people whose opinions he wants in order to put the finishing touches on the program.
Paarthurnax and Zuko already knew what it was, and if they'd talked to anyone else, the information might have spread, but Colin was willing to bet that they hadn't. So the first order of business was to make sure that once everyone was gathered, they were all briefed.
"Okay, so here's what's up," Colin explains, nodding towards Paar and Zuko. "A couple of days ago, Zuko and Paarthurnax asked to make something for them, an information dissemination platform so that everyone here can keep in the loop. Since not everyone here can read the same languages, Zuko requested that it be a speaking platform. And since programming a library to speak on command is no small task, I settled on a synthetic intelligence."
He gestures towards the projector at his feet, a boxy contraption easily the size of a footlocker.
"I finished her yesterday," he says. "Or him, if that's what you all decide on. The SI is done, now we just need to decide who, or what, you want to interact with. That's what I've asked you all here for. You've all got leadership in your heads, or people skills, or some general idea of what the Bastion needs. This will be our information hub from here on out, if you're satisfied with it. I've got some defaults ready for your inspection, but I can work with anything you want."

Rin shrugged a little, not really sure where to stand on it anymore. Hell she was still questioning why Colin would drag her in to such an important discussion in the first place, but whatever. She was here, and she had said her piece on the matter.

"A shard will at least be neutral-at-worst to any new arrivals. Squirts can potentially attack someone out on the Skyway, so new arrivals might not take too kindly to seeing one here."

He glances to the projector then, and he grins. "Computer, end display program," he says, and he looks back to everyone. "She'll also need a name, but we can come up with the name later. Names are important, and shouldn't be decided on quickly."
The holographic projection vanishes at Colin's order, as though it were never even then.
