PLEASE NAME UNIT.

     “You want a name?” I said to the image, my voice dripping with disbelief.

  YES.

  PLEASE NAME UNIT.

     “Didn’t the Doc name you or anything?” I asked as my disbelief turned to confusion. “A number at least or something.”

  NO.

  THE ‘DOC’ DID NOT.

  PLEASE NAME UNIT.

     This time its inquiry was accompanied by a tightening of the wires that were holding me, causing me to yelp in pain.

     “Ow! Hey! Have some patience! I haven’t had to name anyone before, alright!” I told it. My complaint had the desired affect and the wires loosen to the point that they were just holding me again.

  PLEASE NAME UNIT.

     “I know! Just give me few, would ya’!? I want to give you a name that’s at least halfway decent! I don’t want to be lazy and just call you ‘Bot’!” I said to it.

  INPUT ACQUIRED.

  UNIT IS NOW CALLED ‘BOT’

     “Ack! No! I’m not calling you ‘Bot’!” I snapped at it.

  NAME DELETED.

  UNIT IS WAITING FOR NEW INPUT.

     I glared at the screen.

     “You’re mocking me, aren’t you?” I said as I glared at the “screen”.

     “Never mind,” I told it with a sigh. “Can you at least tell me what you can do so I can have some idea as what I should name you?”
