This paper presents the experiences from a science communication project that applied Immersive Science Fiction Prototyping to explore the concept of friendship with emotional AI. The aim of this paper is to introduce the relevance and key elements of a no/low-code prototyping pipeline that enables non-technical authors to collaboratively design multilinear future scenarios, which can be seamlessly imported into VR environments. Anchored in the overarching method of Science Fiction Prototyping, this pipeline not only facilitates the rapid creation of interactive multilinear VR scenarios but also promotes transdisciplinary design and public engagement for responsible innovation.
