《Prankster》Prank 27: Finally the press conference
Advertisement
The next few days were spent studying what made the weather to understand what she had to do to change and manipulate it, then her university lessons and finally the data from the life pod, so she could understand how it worked and recreate some of its systems with earth materials. There was also that one dimension trip to Spies in Disguise, where she stole the plans for the drone that could fly indefinitely and while she was in the dimension she also stole the method to change genes in case she wanted to modify her genetic code, database with all spy inventions and made a copy of the autopilot of the spy car for future use. She also sent invites to the news channels that would attend the sport event and some who wouldn’t.
The day of the press conference arrived and Penny and her team were getting ready for their presentation. Her team made an agreement with the organizers so they could do a demonstration before the start of the event while Penny contacted some of her board testers and arranged for them to show their skills with the hover board before a public and reporters. When the time came, Patricia stepped out and introduced the tester.
-Ladies and gentlemen, you have gathered here to watch athletes performs acts at the peak of human abilities, but before that the organizers of the event allowed our company to do a little demonstration. What you will see next is something promised to you since the 1980ies and for more than 30 years people have failed to provide. Some have come close, but we have the only genuine product. Ladies and gentleman feast your eyes on the hover board.-
The first skateboarded that tested Penny’s hover board walked in front of the crown on the course and mounted his board, before kicking the ground hard and starting the demonstration. He was gliding above the ground for the first few meters, before performing his first trick.
-Look at him go, ladies and gentlemen. Look at that flip of the board and there he goes on the ramp followed by that amazing trick. Just look at him go on that half pipe. Did you just see that? Incredible, just amazing. How did he do that, just look at the performance of that board and athlete! He is airborne, look at him flip in the air. And that landing? Just remarkable! Have you ever seen such a performance? And there he goes again on the ramp, look at that! Looks like he is trying something risky, will he land the trick successfully? And he does!-

The demonstration lasted for five minutes and covered every obstacle on the course at least once, some of them more if they were needed for a particular trick. P.R. was doing her best to try and describe everything that took place, but more often than not she didn’t know what she was seeing and just threw exclamations and sound effects at the crowd. They definitely should have used a professional commentator. In the end actions spoke lauder than words and everyone could see what actions the hover board was capable of. Now it was time for the press conference.
The reporters at first didn’t know what to think about the demonstration. Was it just another hover board with magnetic levitation? It is true that it hovered a lot higher in the air than the magnetic prototypes made by other companies, but they didn’t know the specifics. Then they remembered the introduction and their hopes rose a little. Maybe, just maybe, this was a different kind of hover board, one that closely resembled the board that started them fantasizing, the hover board from Back to the Future 2. Hands were raised one after another, ready to ask a whole bunch of questions and expecting answers.
-Alright, let’s start with the gentleman at the back from channel…-
-You implied the hover board doesn’t run on magnetic levitation. On what principle does it work on?
-An excellent question. We have two models of hover boards and hover scooters developed by our R&D department. The first one, the same as the one used in the demonstration runs on acoustic levitation or sound if you want to be less technical. The second is kept in the air by electric jet engines. Both technologies relies on a new kind of superconductive material that allowed us to develop more powerful electric motors and speakers, which made the development of the hover board and scooter possible.-
-What is the name of the company that developed the technology?—asked another random reporter in the crowd.
-The company’s name is Tinker Toy Technologies. It is a new startup that has been registered for less than six months. Next question the lady in the front.-
-When are you going to start selling them?-
-Pre orders are going to start on the 15th and production will start at the end of the month. Official sales will begin on the 10th of next month. For more details visit our web page and online store at…-
The Q&A session continued for a while longer and then ended smoothly. All questions were answered with guidelines prepared by Penny in the last few days and in the end the press conference was a success. For the rest of the day the team watched the skateboard event and enjoyed themselves. Every once in a while athletes asked them questions about their product and if there were plans in the making for hover board competition or event in the future. Maybe they could contact the event planners and discuss the particulars of such an event and what should be done to make it happen. They may even earn some new orders for boards through such negotiations.

After the event, the whole company went to a bar to celebrate the, what they thought of and probably was, successful press conference and product demonstration. When everyone was a little tipsy and lips started to loosen up their lawyer proposed a waiver agreement for people to sign when ordering their products, while the rest were talking about romance, current events and if Penny had kept her word to not tinker until now.
-Hey, I resent that comment. I kept my word and didn’t make anything for commercial use after you cruelly banned me from inventing.-
-Why did you mention commercial use and not just confirm that you haven’t tinkered? You did, didn’t you?! You made of found a way to make something else that would blow our minds and leave your company in the hands of mind blown idiots to run.-
Catching her slip of the tongue, Penny thought of what she did make and what she could tell them about. In the end she chose something she was planning to make anyways and now just had to create early.
-It’s not such a big deal. Just a little toy, a present for when Jenny decides she wants to sleep with me and you just made me prematurely reveal the surprise.-
There was surprised spitting of drinks, followed by coughs and in the end silence. When everyone looked at Jenny her entire face was red, but no one knew for sure if it was because of the alcohol or embarrassment. Everyone suspected the second, but just couldn’t know for sure. The rest of the celebration was mostly spent with everyone silently drinking their beverages and after finishing them they excused themselves and started dispersing and going home. In the end only Penny and Jenny were left at the table.
-So, a toy for when I decide to sleep with you? You aren’t planning on opening adult toy branch of the company?-
-Honey, baby, if I started working on making adult toys there would be no more adult toy industry. Everyone would choose my products and bankrupt everyone else’s. The thing I made for you, once you have a taste of it you won’t ever want to switch to another toy. Just you wait for our next date and you will see. Not that I am pressuring you to go out with me or sleep with me. You want me to ride home with you?-
-That would be lovely.-
Penny escorted Jenny home on their hover scooters while having A.I.C.A. monitor them the entire time. She didn’t trust her or Jenny’s reaction times under the influence of alcohol, so in case anything happened she asked her AI to take control of the scooters. In the end it turned out to be unnecessary because they arrived without any problems. Penny kissed Jenny goodbye and rode her scooter home.
When she entered her lab, still a little tipsy from the celebration, a moment of mad genius struck Penny and she started designing the toy for her girlfriend.
-A series of actuators here to make it dexterous, a miniature vacuum pump here, energy source in the body, wires and tubes goes there. Powerful superconductor motors here, here and here. Sensors all around the body connected to a central processor. Finally connect it to the interface and we are done.-
Penny wouldn’t know until she constructed and programmed the interface for her mad scientist creation if it would send Jenny in a blissful and fulfilled restful sleep after use or happiness induced unconsciousness and to find out she had to visit a few dimensions and steal a few company databases. With the help of the liquid courage still in her veins, not that she needed it, Penny dimension traveled to every dimension with full dive VRMMOs no matter if it was manga, anime or light novel and store all the research of the companies that created the technology about reading the brain and the electrical impulses of the body. After all the control band for the micro bots could do a lot, but its database wasn’t complete and couldn’t fulfil the functions she needed it to. Penny collected a lot of data and set her AIs to analyzing it and isolating the thing she needed for her interface. When they were done, she would construct a prototype and test it, after which she would leave her AIs to optimize and perfect her design after hours of simulations and study of the results. Penny was ready to do a lot of things for love and a better sex life.
