Work Text:
query: identify the bot sends. being polite, i send it my feed address, which it already knows since it is talking to me. it simply repeats the same query.
i do not know how to respond to this. i have identified myself and have no further information to give.
it seems to get my confusion. it sent its own feed address, and then ID = JollyBaby. query: identify
i have stopped walking to attempt to devote more resources to the problem, and my human guardian notices. "is everything alright?"
namevalue = unknown, i send back. information = null, wait time = unknown
out loud, to the humans, i say, "JollyBaby is requesting my identification. i do not have that information at this time."
my guardian smiles (emotional analysis = inconclusive). "a name? that's a great idea, lots of the bots around here have names."
this was unusual. a lot about this was unusual.
my guardians younger daughter gasps (emotional analysis = excitement 1a). "oh, yes, a name! have you come up with one yet? oh, tell us, tell us!"
"there's no rush. it can tell us when it chooses one," my guardian suggests.
well.
it was as good a name as any.
namevalue = Tellus i send to the bot.
"you may call me tellus," i say aloud.
