Discount AIs - Attn: Tara

McKenzie's . . .
-----Snip-----
When her shift was over Tara went down to McKenzies and asked the
nearest sales person
"Do you sell the copies of Holly like, Holly2 and Saddam or do I have
to create one myself? and if you do sell them can I see some
examples?"
-----End Snip-----
Zack Richards turned and smiled. "Ooh. AI interface programs.
Well, it just happens that I'm fairly well-versed in AIs. Cash-
Holly?"
The screen came down from the ceiling, and Cash-Holly's face
appeared. "Yes, Zack?"
OOC: Look, Stewie! LOOK!! I'm using Cash-Holly, despite a complete
ignorance of what he/she/it is/does/looks like! Remember that when
it's time for staff evals!!
IC:
"What assortment of AI programs do we have in our inventory?"
Cash-Holly's lips tensed. "Why?"
Zack paused for a moment. "This lady is interested in acquiring
one for . . ." Zack turned to Tara, "personal use?"
<Reply - Tara>
Turning back to the suddenly moody Cash-Holly, Zack
nodded. "Exactly."
Cash-Holly's expression darkened further. "So you want me, an
AI, to assist you in selling a fellow AI to this woman?"
Zack's smiled withered a bit as he finally sensed that something
was not quite right. "Well, uh . . . yes, actually."
Cash-Holly fixed him with a cold stare. "Fine." Turning toward
Tara, Cash-Holly began describing in business-like tones the
different AI programs available, along with relative cost and system
requirements.
Zack listened intently, not understanding a word of it. He
realized that Cubie would have been a far better reference then he
was on the subject, but he hadn't thought to activate her. To do so
now would probably startle the customer. So he smiled and nodded at
what he thought were the relevant points of Holly's explanations.
Finally, Holly finished with a sharp comment on the sale of
indentured filed workers on the second floor. Tara blinked, but Zack
quickly cleared his throat to get her attention. "So. Did you see
anything you liked?"
