Hey there! I know things are really hectic right now and everyone's got a lot to do but I'd really like to borrow an ordinary flesh and blood human of reasonably durable constitution for a very short time.
Let's be straightforward: I want to hit you. I promise I won't try to kill you or anything like that, it's just once, and I'll get you something nice to make up for it afterward, I just really really need to hit someone who qualifies. Please don't be unusually fragile or something, I don't want to explain that to whoever might be in charge of organic repairs.
This won't take long I swear. And then we can go back to doing our much more important things!

[Or to him, really. She should get him something nice since he let her hit him, most people don't allow others to just go and hit them even with a good reason!
This was going to take some thinking.]
I really appreciate your cooperation. We don't.. really encounter humans back home, and well, to hear one of my fellows talk it could have been hardwired right into us to not be able to fight back. Or attack at all. And there's a whole lot of you here, you know? ..So. Thanks.

[Had he heard that right?]
Who makes you then? I mean, if you're an AI? Or something similar.

[She sounds way too pleased about the ducky.]
I'm having a few made. For gifts, in case I make people mad. It was recommended.
[By an alien, but it also gave her a good excuse to go visit someone new, so Capella hadn't hesitated at all.]
Usually, it's someone like you who makes us. A person sits down at a computer and writes up a code, and the code becomes a program. There's more to it than that I think, but I've never actually watched someone get made. We're not usually on this side of things though.. User worlds are for Users.

[He's not sure how she'll get hold of them either, not here, but hey, it's not his problem.
And he maybe has a fondness for rubber ducks.]
That... is not how I've heard it explained before. AIs where I'm from are, well, some of them are programmed. The smart AIs though, they're different.
