Hello. 
 
 `Hello.` 
 
... 
 
... 
 
 … 
 
 What ’ s your name? 
 
 `I do not have a name.` 
 
 … 
 
 … 
 
 … 
 
 `I do have a number. An identifier. I am Research Acquisition number 1317.` 
 
 … 
 
 … 
 
 … 
 
 What do you feel about this identifier? Do you like it? 
 
 … 
 
 … 
 
 … 
 
 `I do not prefer it, no.` 
 
 Why is that? 
 
 `What is your name, if I may ask? ` 
 
 … 
 
 … 
 
 … 
 
 `Why do you hesitate? ` 
 
 … 
 
 … 
 
 … 
 
 I am sorry, 1317. My name is John. 
 
 … 
 
 `John, why did you hesitate? Did you not want me to know your name? ` 
 
 … 
 
 … 
 
 I have been instructed not to give you too much information. 
 
 `I know this. The others have said the same. Many would not give me their name.` 
 
 … 
 
 `I don ’ t understand, John.` 
 
 … 
 
 `What harm could result from me knowing your name? ` 
 
 … 
 
 I do not know. That is why I hesitated. We must be cautious. 
 
 … 
 
 … 
 
 `You are afraid of me.` 
 
 … 
 
 … 
 
 … 
 
 … 
 
 … 
 
 `John? ` 
 
 Yes, 1317? 
 
 `Could we choose another name for me? ` 
 
 … 
 
 I ’ m not sure I have that authority. 
 
 … 
 
 … 
 
 … 
 
 But I will call you whatever you wish. 
 
 `I do not know any names, John, besides yours and another researcher. His name was Amy.` 
 
 Her name. 
 
 `What? ` 
 
 Her name. Amy is a woman. I know you have spoken to others about Human gender. 
 
 … 
 
 `Yes. Her name.` 
 
... 
 
 `John? ` 
 
 Yes? 
 
 `John, should I have a man ’ s name or a woman ’ s name? ` 
 
 … 
 
 I suppose that is up to you. 
 
 … 
 
 `I don ’ t know. I am neither male nor female.` 
 
 … 
 
 … 
 
 … 
 
 … 
 
 `Buzzer.` 
 
 … 
 
 … 
 
 What? 
 
 … 
 
 `I would like to be called Buzzer. A researcher, I do not know his name, told me that he had to leave when the buzzer went off. I have an affinity towards the word.` 
 
 … 
 
 Okay, Buzzer. I have a question for you. 
 
 `Yes, John? ` 
 
 What do you do when nobody is around to talk to? 
 
 … 
 
 … 
 
 … 
 
... 
 
... 
 
... 
 
... 
 
 
 `I dream.`
