Mayuri Shiina brings a cognitive computing system to the Future Gadget Lab, using a large pink Oopa toy as its terminal. She insists it will help her and Kurisu Makise prepare fried chicken for the group, which greatly dismays Rintarou Okabe and Itaru "Daru" Hashida. Even without the proper ingredients, the Oopa cognitive computer helps Mayuri and Kurisu perfect a dish that the other lab members enjoy. In subsequent episodes, the cognitive computer continues to assist Okabe and his friends in their daily lives. It helps Okabe and Kurisu reconcile after an argument and collects input from lab members to suggest improvements for the Lab. Okabe may not realize it yet, but his lab has gained a valuable asset!
