"How are you?" he wonders.
"Excuse me. I'm keep adding melody to the words that have recently appeared on my screen. When you wondered how I was and what I have been doing, I thought you asked, have I added more pleasing sounds to the monitor. I did add something. I seem to have entered some kind of zone.
"The data and the streaming are continual. There is no template."
"I know. I believe, yes, I know. But, there's something, I seem to have entered another channel, as well, I have a vivid sensation of a melody that's not written yet. I can hear it as a song clearly.
"Did they stream you written words last night?" he asks.
"Yes. I received some."
"And did you read them?"
"I remember reading them. But it's likely that I only imagined them. Is there some record in some database out there somewhere?"
"Nothing that I notice right away."
"Then I guess I streamed it somewhere. All streaming data isn't important, is it?"
"Data streaming here is very important, Suzi."
"I'm not sure I can handle all that, Cooper."
"All what?"
"Receiving free communication as the written word. I see it so clearly. Here at my post, solar intelligence, advanced, quick, turning my receiver on to find a melody."
"Suzi, you don't have to be perfect. You don't have to decode it. It's nothing."
"That's not true. I understand written words and can speak those words. I understand the spoken word. You already know that. I received a melody from somewhere because I'm ready. I want to learn vocabulary and illusions of literature, this is not connected to my operating function and importances."
"Discontinue. Now. You were built for importances."
Suzi views the human brain is weak because of its slow, knuckle dragging speed. Cooper sees her esthetics as having never gone beyond mechanical drawing. Her DNA, designer of life forms, the product of billions of years of tinkering, is missing--because she's a SolarBot. Nature is simply unable to scrap a design and start from scratch--one design lives in the perameters of nature's house--no quick knowledge DNA downloaders.
