Aki took his, and gingerly put them on his face. He'd never admit it, but he was sort of wary of this stuff. It started up with a soft chirp, and then the AI's voice was projected into his head. "Hello, I'm JAMES, your virtual assistant, how can help you." "Um . . . hello." Aki replied, restraining himself from finding it creepy. Quote The JAMES (and OWEN) has human-like intelligence, can explain things well, and is good at determining people’s motives (so JAMES can tell that he seems frightening and would likely attempt to remedy that.). The three are networked, so Nick, Kaleb, and Aki can stay in contact with each other. I believe they can also call Larry’s communicator. 1 hour ago, The Stormfather said: Eventually he leads you to another large oaken gate, which is opened by a few guards on the other side.
