I apologize for the long hiatus! I've been busy with work and everything else. So now I'm sick which gives me enough time to write this. Please leave positive reviews!
Opening his eyes, Sheldon looks across the room seeing a strange figure that had just appeared. The figure looked exactly like Bill Nye the Science Guy.
"Oh dear lord… Is it me… Or I am seeing Bill Nye?" Sheldon says standing up. Is this really happening right now? He thought.
"This is my default mode. You can also set me for: Leonard Nimoy, Adam West, Mark Hamill-"
"Oooh! Go Mark Hamill! Go Mark Hamill!" Sheldon jumped up and down excitedly.
Rolling his eyes, the SQUIP changed from Bill Nye to a 20 something year old Mark Hamill like from the 70's.
"This is amazing!" Sheldon shouts excited. "I can't wait to show this to my friends."
"Unfortunately I cannot process that."
"Why?" Sheldon asked.
The SQUIP replies, "I exist only in your mind. If they see you talking to me, all they would see is you having an animated conversation with your own self. If you are around in public, just think at me instead. Like you're telepathic."
"Oh! Like all those superhero movies! Like the X-Men!"
The supercomputer stares for a moment and said cutting to the chase, "I know you have a problem."
"Yes! I do!" Sheldon explains the situation, "I was in the middle of researching on my project because I am striving to get the Nobel Prize. But I reached a dead end. Can you help?"
"I can see that you are a theoretical physicist at a university."
Sheldon asked, "How did you know that?"
"I have access to your memories."
He said, "Ok! Tell me what you know about me!"
The SQUIP then started, "Accessing memory database… Sheldon Lee Cooper, age 36, born in a Walmart in Galveston, Texas with twin sister, Melissa Cooper on February 26, 1980. Went to Medford High School at age nine, started college at age eleven, started graduate school in Germany at age fourteen, received first doctorate at age sixteen, received Ph.D in physics at age twenty at the California Institute of Technology otherwise known as CalTech."
Sheldon couldn't believe what he is hearing. "Wow… Kripke is not kidding."
He gestures the SQUIP, inviting it to the couch. "Let's talk some more."
The supercomputer was going to sit down but Sheldon interrupts, "Wait, that's where I sit."
"You have an assigned seating?" The SQUIP asked.
"Yeah. And there's a reason for that," Sheldon says logically, "You see that spot is close to the radiator to remain warm and yet not so close as to cause perspiration in the winter. And in the summer, it's directly in the path of a cross-breeze created by opening windows there and there." He points to those windows before continuing, "And it faces the television at an angle that is neither direct thus discouraging conversation nor so far wide as to create a parallax distortion, thus placing it in a state of eternal dibs. I could go on about this, but I made my point."
Giving an dramatic sigh, the SQUIP moved over to sit in the middle of the couch along with Sheldon sitting in his spot.
"You know any pop culture or franchises?" Sheldon asks.
The SQUIP confirms it, "Certainly."
He asked again, "Do you do research?"
"Yes."
"Can you figure out the math when I couldn't which is rarely true?"
The supercomputer said deadpan, "I am a supercomputer. I am made of math."
Sheldon continued interviewing the SQUIP, asking a lot of questions. He was so excited about this and he thought this is totally worth it.
Just then the door opened and Sheldon's eyes see Leonard coming in with Penny.
"Hey Sheldon," Penny says entering.
"Hello," Sheldon said looking back at the SQUIP finding it missing from the couch.
"I'll meet you in my apartment Leonard," Penny kisses him on the cheek and waves goodbye to Sheldon before exiting their apartment.
Leonard asked, "What are you so excited about?"
"Oh nothing... Just interacting with Mark Hamill," Sheldon says with a smile.
"Ok… Well I'm going to spend the night at across the hall. You alright alone?"
Sheldon nodded quickly. "I'll be fine. Thanks for asking."
Leonard looked at him puzzled before leaving. "Ok then… Don't stay up too late. Goodnight." And he walked out the door mumbling, "This is kind of weird."
As soon as the door closed, Sheldon was about to continue talking to the SQUIP, but it asked coming back, "Who is that?"
"That's my roommate, Leonard Hofstadter. I know him for a while. He's my best friend," Sheldon replied.
The SQUIP then said, "That won't do. Why are you always with him?""Because he's my roommate. He pays half the rent," Sheldon said. "And I also work with him at Caltech."
"You need to start fixing yourself up. How about I make you a deal…"
Sheldon asked, "What kind of deal? And-"
"I can help you with your experiment and I help you do some things for me."
"Can we just do the experiment first? It's at a dead end and I'm desperate!"
"Then we can work on the project bright and early tomorrow and then I'll instruct you with other things. Deal?"
Sheldon thought for a moment and then confirms it, "Deal."
"Now get ready for bed. You got a big day tomorrow," the SQUIP instructs.
Thinking it over, Sheldon agrees. "Ok. Goodnight SQUIP." The SQUIP turns off and Sheldon goes to his room to get ready for bed.
