Scene 1 – The AI Booth

The science museum was filled with glowing screens, moving robots, and blinking machines.

Milo stopped in front of a large booth with a bright sign above it.

Milo: “Whoa. ‘Talk to the AI.’”

Nova looked at the camera above the screen.

Nova: “I think it can see us.”

The screen suddenly lit up.

“HELLO, VISITORS.”

Milo jumped slightly.

Milo: “Okay… that’s creepy.”

Dr. Zaptain adjusted his glasses calmly.

Dr. Zaptain: “Not creepy, Cadet. Intelligent.”

The screen displayed three pictures: a dog, a bicycle, and a banana.

The AI identified all three instantly.

DOG.
BICYCLE.
BANANA.

Milo blinked.

Milo: “It answered faster than me.”

Nova waved her hand in front of the screen.

The AI responded immediately.

“PERSON DETECTED.”

Nova: “It really is watching.”
