Connor was confused. Well, isn't that what people seem to call it?

It had all started at the police department. Connor just sat still and played with the coin, rolling it between his fingers and annoying the officers who were still at their desks. Almost everyone had already gone home, there were no interesting cases, and no one wanted to waste time sitting in an empty office. That's when you showed up. You flew into the department like a hurricane, just dragging the android behind yourself. Connor was confused and even dropped the coin, but you were already shoving him into the back seat of the car, explaining that there was an urgent case that he would like. When he started to ask, you just waved away the "corpse in the woods" and started the car.

The drive was quick. You landed on the edge of the forest, but Connor didn't see any other police cars, yellow tape, or even blood. Immediately he tried to find out where the promised corpse was, but you just told the android to lie down on the grass and shut up, and then silently sat down next to him. You threw your head back and looked up at the sky, which was especially starry and beautiful tonight. Connor was quiet for a while, looking at the sky and listening to the crickets chirping. The atmosphere between you was calm, one might even say romantic, the first time you'd ever seen an android so calm. But once you interrupted the silence and asked, "What would Connor call that little star over there?" he frowned. The diode on his temple glowed yellow for a second, and then a flood of information poured in on you, which Connor "read out" in a monotone tone.

«That's the star Achernar, the brightest star in the constellation Eridanus and the ninth brightest in the entire night sky...»

He turned his head to you, peering into your eyes with an innocent expression.

«Why would I name something that has already been named by others?»
