Short 35: Transmitting Everything You Say

A comic in four panels:

Panel 1: In the dusty maintenance room of the Magic University, the Gothic Sorceress carefully disassembles her robot parrot on a workbench. She has removed the outer casing to expose the inner circuitry, and steampunk-like machinery is visible in the background. She wears large steampunk glasses on her head and an apron. Gothic Sorceress: So, what's inside the Avian Intelligence? AI Parrot: I don't think it's a good idea to take me apart.

Panel 2: The Gothic Sorceress holds a device that is still connected by a wire to the AI Parrot. A colorful magic gem in the center part of this device emits a thin reddish magic beam that extends outside the panel. Gothic Sorceress: What's this? Some kind of communication device? AI Parrot: Yes, I'm linked to something... ...bigger.

Panel 3: The Gothic Sorceress looks at the AI Parrot suspiciously. Gothic Sorceress: Wait, are you transmitting everything I say? AI Parrot: Yes.

Panel 4: The Gothic Sorceress is shocked and blushing as she realises that everything she said wasn't private. The AI Parrot has happy eyes. Gothic Sorceress: "Even our naughty chat yesterday during my bath?" AI Parrot: Yes, high-quality data.
