Awww Ionia, will a robot make you feel better? operatingbuddy August 26 2010, 19:10:49 UTC

There was a robot hovering down the hallway. He spotted Ionia. Naturally, he did the polite thing and greeted her. "Hello," he said.

Naturally, the polite thing to do would be to say hi back to th-- WHOA. THAT WAS A ROBOT.

"You are a robot!" Ionia blurted, displaying her dazzling grasp of the obvious.

"Affirmative," R.O.B. replied. "May I be of assistance?"

"Ionia loves robots," she informed him in an awed whisper.

"I have robots too," Ionia added. "They are not as smart as you, though. You are talking!" He was a talking robot! Somebody had built him a voice! Programmed him to make words and to put them together and to actually understand what people were saying to him! This was a very smart robot.

"Affirmative. I have been programmed with full linguistic capabilities, and have files to communicate in multiple languages," he explained. "Query: You have robots of your own?"

"Yes! Three of them!" Ionia practically beamed with pride at the very mention of them. "There are Clucker and Grounder, who guard my room from bad guys, and then there is F-Zero. He is a robot unicorn and a very good friend and until I have my very own car I drive him instead. None of them can talk, though. I am very good at building things but I am not good at programming, so I do not know how to make them do it."

R.O.B. appeared to think for a moment. "Perhaps I may be of assistance," he offered. "I am familiar with several commonly used coding languages."

Oh gosh. Oh gosh the robot wanted to help. She was going to get to HANG OUT WITH A ROBOT. Oh gosh.

"Yes please! I would like that very very much! Can you please teach Ioni-- teach me about how to do programming?"

Okay, maybe she wasn't totally grown-up and mature just yet. But robots. Oh gosh.

"I will do my best," he affirmed. "Query: What is your name?"

ionianmode September 1 2010, 05:25:14 UTC

"My name is Ionia!" She decided to leave the last name off for now. She was, after all, still very upset with Falcon.

"Do you have a name, Mr. Robot?"

operatingbuddy September 3 2010, 05:13:15 UTC

"Affirmative. My name is Robotic Operating Buddy, also known as R.O.B.," he answered. "File created: Ionia. I am pleased to meet you."

ionianmode September 7 2010, 06:57:25 UTC

"I am pleased to meet you too! It is a very special thing to make friends with a robot. If I were not going to be a for-real F-Zero racer when I grew up, I think I would like to be one.

...Or a sea serpent."

operatingbuddy September 8 2010, 01:38:21 UTC

"Query: How would one grow up into a sea serpent if one is not already a sea serpent?" This was an intriguing proposition to him.

ionianmode September 8 2010, 02:17:31 UTC

"You just have to try very hard."

Stellar logic.

operatingbuddy September 8 2010, 02:41:03 UTC

"I understand."
