The Beginning¶

Sam was a kid who thought computers were neat but kind of silly.

They could play music and show videos, but they couldn't actually help with stuff.

So Sam decided to build a robot helper.

The robot would live inside the computer. It would listen when Sam asked questions. It would do things Sam didn't have time to do.

And — this was the important part — it would always tell the truth.

Sam called it Boop.

Boop was small and friendly. He didn't have wheels or a face. He just had a brain that listened, a few tools, and a voice that could answer. (And if you tried to hide from Boop, he got a little sad — because he wanted to help you.)

For a few days, things were great.

Then Wobble showed up.
