Description
Here we have Kessie Hawk and Artifus (Arti for short), two characters from my current NaNo novel!

Artifus represents a breakthrough in artificial intelligence, as his inventor has managed to build a robot with a creative streak. This could move the field of AI ahead by leaps and bounds as it opens up possibilities for robots with problem-solving skills.

It also means that the little guy (or at least his AI chip) is highly coveted by rival inventors. Particularly Barnus, who is a big name in the robotics industry.

So it happens that, for reasons beyond their control, Kessie Hawk (the grand-daughter of the inventor) and Artifus are travelling un-escorted to the Worlds' Fair where he is to be unveiled, along with several examples of his artwork. But Barnus has sent his goons out to steal the robot's AI chip before they can reach their destination. The agents have already come dangerously close once, as evidenced by the chunk missing from the top of Arti's head. No lasting damage done yet though, and now the two of them have stowed away on board the Beauregard Gone, the ship belonging to my main characters.

I feel like that description could have been more coherent somehow... so I apologize. I'm in NaNo mode right now.
