CHAPTER 16
He takes her to the dining table
Darcy: What else do you have in this lab?
Empephus: Let me show you the chef.
He brings in a compactly-heavy machine and puts it in the middle of the table.
Empephus: I see that you are totally confused
Darcy: How is this going to make food?
Emepehus: It's a very complicated process so see this carefully
Darcy: Interesting, show me
Empephus: You just need to press this button and then...
Darcy: Yes then..
Empephus: Pull this lever and click this button and then...
Bread and patties come out of the machine
Darcy: Ohk that was pretty tough
Empephus: Yesn't it? Now here's a burger. Taste this now
Darcy(bites it): Yes it is really veryy goodd..
Empephus: Sorry it won't taste like your royal cuisine but...
Darcy: I really love street food. I really love the machine too
Empephus: I have a feeling that you're going to take it away from him
Darcy: Haha no no..
A voice spoke out, 'sir, aren't you going to eat anything'
Darcy: Who is here?
Empephus: Don't freak out. It's Genesis, artifical intelligence system. I have tasked it to work with the us
Darcy: Is it in this room?
Empephus: Well yes, only here and only recognises my voice
Genesis: At your service, sir.
Empephus: It's alright...dismiss
Darcy: Did it leave? He is bothering me
Empephus: It is just a computer program....it doesn't interfere with us
Darcy: Well then it's fine...the machine?
Empephus: Oh I just put the raw products inside it and with solar and wind energy but you only get bread and meat.
Darcy: Oh I understand
Quinn, Darcy's fiance comes into his lab
Quinn(the fiance): Darcy, so here you are
Darcy(muching on the burger): Uhmm uhmm...where have you been for so long?
Quinn: I should have asked you that but now it doesn't matter. I've been searching you so such a long time. What are you eating?
Darcy(shows him the burger): It's a really tasty burger. Want?
Quinn pulls off the burger from her hand
Darcy: Quinn!!
Quinn: I'm sorry but I don't want your stomach to get upset
Darcy: It isn't bad. How can you do that?
Quinn: Apearences are deceptive
Darcy: Yes, taste it and then say
Empephus: Ma'am, please don't quarrel
Quinn: Come, your favorite dish is ready to be served
Darcy(waving to Empephus): Byee
Emepehus: Bye
Quinn: I need to talk to him
Darcy: Ohk..
She leaves the room and gets to the dining table.
Quinn(pulls him): You better stay away from her. Get that into your big brain
Emepehus: But... sir, she was the one who used to come here daily
Quinn: Daily??
Empephus: Today is the only day I talked to her
Quinn: And the rest?
Empephus: Ignored her...if you don't believe, there are camera footages too
Quinn leaves him and rubs and straightens his attire.
Quinn: I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so rude
Emepehus: No issues, prince
Quinn: How long for the invention?
Emepehus: My friends are going to finish it within 2 days.
Quinn: Good news. Only thing is that, you never showed us that place where it is going to be done
Empephus: Safety issues, sir. I will better show you the product
Quinn: So are you going to come to my birthday party tomorrow?
Empephus: I'll surely try
Quinn(places hand on his shoulder): Please, don't say no. Everyone wants to see you
Empephus: See me?
Quinn: Of course!! Why not?
Empephus: But I'm just a..
Quinn: The nation wants to know about your work, others too
Empephus: Well in that case, I will surely come but I'm uncomfortable in coming in front of public and others
Quinn: I will see through that
Quinn leaves the lab and goes towards the dining table and sits beside his dad, Quelin and mom, Alina.
Alina: What took you so long, son?
Quinn: I just said him to come to my birthday party
Alina: Even he needs break. He has been working for months on his project
Quelin: He is only the one who does his his job regularly and properly. It's nearly impossible to stop him from working
Darcy: Well but not impossible
Alina: What do you mean?
Darcy: Well today, he showed me his games
Quelin: Empephus, games?? That can't be
Darcy: Well yes, virtual reality type ones
Quinn: Real fun comes only when you go out not within a box
Darcy: It wasn't that bad...just control everything with your mind
Quinn(slurping): What about food machine?
Darcy: That was delicious
Quinn: Huh come on....you serious?
Quelin: No my son, she isn't lying
Darcy: How do you know that, dad?
Alina: That's because he made us to taste the food when he first created it.
Quelin(gazzing her): Oh that's great...
Darcy(eating her fish) : So have you practiced your dance steps?
