Humans babies are VERY good at mimicking those around them. In fact, one of the primary reasons raising-a-chimp-alongside-a-human experiments were stopped is because the human infant started to use the chimp's sounds and physical behaviors to communicate.
Which makes me wonder. What did Iris pick up from being raised alongside the Perihelion? When she gets frustrated, does she automatically and instinctually send gibberish code smashing into the feed? When she wants comfort from her dads, does she more naturally spam-ping them and want spam-pings back instead of seeking them out for a hug? Is she sensitive to feed speed in a way no other human's brain has developed to notice?
(Does Perihelion document every way in which it influenced its sister, every way in which its beloved human sister accesses bot patterns of thinking because she grew up loving it, and get super I-have-rail-guns-hurt-her-and-be-evaporated about it?)
(Do Seth and Martin, scientists and Good Dads, carefully document the way in which their kids communicate and try to modify their own methods of communication to match?)
