February Cybersecurity Class
Who: Cortana and OTA
When: Not quite mid feb
Where: Cybersecurity class
Summary: A mingle for newbies (and oldbies should they wish) being made to take the mandatory cybersecurity classes being taught by Cortana.
Warnings: Probably nothing big, but will warn in thread if necessary.
On the one hand, it's highly unlikely that anyone likes being forced to go to a class of any sort. On the other, ADI's cybersecurity class is being taught by a real bonafide (sexy) gynoid robot, so that's probably pretty cool.
There are also some ...interesting rumors about Cortana that characters may or may not have heard, such as her wandering around naked sometimes and her having the most ridiculously awesome war stories, but sadly the woman teaching the class might be a cool robot but she's very much clothed (green sweater vest over white blouse with blue jeans and simple black boots) and doesn't seem to be telling any war stories today, though she will occasionally comment about being a military AI.
As for what is going on in cybersecurity class, well...
A) The disgruntled muttering and slow loss of interest from some students suggests that at least a few people were really looking forward to those rumors being true? Perhaps you're one of them? Or maybe not? Are you curious about what these people are going on about? Or maybe you just wish they'd shut up?
B) It's time for the best part of class! And by best I mean not actually the best at all, because it's time for group activities! Nevermind that everyone around you is likely a total stranger, potentially of a different world, time period, or even species, find someone to pair up with and play the password guessing game!
Each pair will take turns with one person using the principles taught during class to come up with a (hopefully secure) password and the other person is allowed to ask up to 10 questions to try and guess the password. Fun, right?
If one of you ends up without a partner, don't worry: Cortana herself will happily play against anyone unlucky enough to be the odd one out. Just be careful, she's very clever and not particularly inclined to just let anyone win...
C) Oh no! You've shown some good progress with your own learning (or you already know this stuff, ADI makes everyone take this class regardless of actual knowledge) and thus you've now been tasked with helping a fellow student who isn't doing so well! Do you help? Refuse? Argue with the teacher?
Or alternately, you're the one who's found yourself in the awkward position of needing assistance, whether it be from the teacher or another student...
D) There's definitely a lot more going on in this class than just the things mentioned in these prompts. Lessons on basic phone functions, explanations of how bank accounts work in this day and age (yes, really, there are people who don't know this) and how to access yours online (she'll even walk you through downloading the bank app), a basic discussion of common scams and how not to fall for them... and of course, that little bit of time she gives at the end of each part of the lecture and at the end of the class as a whole for everyone to ask questions. You're free to do stuff for any of these, TBH.
