The way I write Dummy is inspired by scifigrl47 and the Tales of the Bots series. I am a sucker for Bot Feels and “The Act of Creation” has ruined me for other interpretations (sort of, or maybe not, but it's my favorite version so far).

There is Science )
(To save google time: Sally has a box, and Anne has a basket. Sally has a delicious cookie which she hides in her box and then she goes awy. Anne tkes the cookie and hides it in her basket. When Sally comes back, where will she go to get the cookie? Up until around four years old, kids will insist that Sally will look in basket.)
I wonder about the "doll" thing, obviously it's ment as a term of endearment, but give Loki's current state...well things to ruminate on for JARVIS.
And, huh. Even though Tony knows a hell of a lot better than Thor, he too was expecting some preprogramed personality.
And, oh, the interction between Loki and Dummy, they were trying to talk--the last bit was happening then, wasn't it? So that makes the touching even cuter.
I suspect that Loki didn't really say "I'm Hallr," just some untranslated bit of dwarf talk that sounds like it, and tah dah.
Loki saying he'd call Thor, Thor when Thor wasn't in the room, might be Tony's narrative that's coloring things, but it sounds like Loki's getting a bit catty, which is a good thing!
I bet Thor will feel like he's been punched in the face the moment Loki calls Thor "Sire" to his face.
It is creepytastic that Loki doens't know he had a prior existance.
Link to Tale of The Bots? It sounds intresting and I like the way you write Dummy, so I need more, you understand.

The line itself is a direct quotation from the second installment of the series.

The scan actually drew bits and pieces from the nordic language used in "Liesmith" and would have appeared as runes, which Dummy did not have a translation key for. So he had to mess with it to read anything.
Also, magical interference. That's why JARVIS tells Tony that something is going wrong with the scans.
All of this is obviously not that clear outside of my head, so I'm trying to think of a way to fix it.
