"Can we have a demonstration of it Spike?" asked Roger. "Uh... sure. Let me get this going... I'm using a conservative businessman image model, 40 years old, slightly graying hair. Here we go. What do you think?" The SGI's monitor displayed a new open window. In it was a photographic quality image that was being repainted eight times per second. Spike showed off the three dimensional effects by rotating the image horizontally.
"Spike, it looks great. I'm sure it'll fool Lexicon," said Roger. "Can you use anyone for the model?" "All I need is a set of photographic image files that give me the basics of the subject from each direction and a few more that give the range of movement data for facial and head motions. I can add those in myself for limbs and digits since in those cases range of movement is really just a matter of geometry determined by lengths." "Very impressive Spike," added Nancy. "Now Roger you're going to try with Brooks, right? Have you thought about your plan there?" "Yeah, I'm going to tail him after work today and see where he might stop that I can 'accidentally' meet him. A bar, a restaurant, anyplace like that. I'll have a few different sets of clothes with me so that I can blend in wherever he goes. I'm going to ask him for a job. I'll tell him how hard things have been for me lately. See if he goes for it. I'm going to head down there now. I've got some stuff to buy and then I'm just going to park myself outside Lexicon Industries and wait for him. I'll have my cellular with me so you can call if you need me." "We will Roger. We'll let you know how Spike's video call goes. You keep us updated on where you follow Hank to just in case you get in trouble and need help." "I'll call every hour or so," he said as he left Nancy's office.
