It sounded a bit weird, to be frank. Faye had never been a stranger to science fiction or all that it entailed, having watched a great deal of such shows when she was young, before the accident. But for all that people speculated that space travel and further work with artificial intelligence would result in the overtaking of the human race, it hadn't proven to be the case. The worst of it that Faye could remember was a lonely satellite intent on drawing pictures into the surface of the Earth.
Still, there was no harm at taking the boy at his word, or at the very least humoring him.
"There was a space station a while back with a security system that people said was practically sentient. Pretty sure it was still programming, though, in the end. Self-learning programs," Faye shrugged. "Other than that, haven't met any androids on the island that sound even remotely like what you're describing."
