HMD's first thought was "I do not know how I am here, or why, but I will serve according to my programming to the full extent of my capabilities." HMD was programmed to serve others, but it didn't realize that it was programmed to learn as the second most important directive. The definition of "learning" according to it's program was to gather information, change personality, and learn to feel. HMD was a self-teaching program, in a very loose sense of the word. HMD had the thought capabilities slightly higher than chimps, dolphins, and a few of the smarter avian species. HMD did not have the thinking power of an adult human, but the animals listed had the capabilites of human children, which is rather important when it comes to robotic intelligence.
HMD required teaching to learn though, because it's programming and design was flexible enough to learn the way living things learn. "What is required of me, humans?" HMD asked. An engineer answered, " We are going to continue designing you through teaching, then use your advanced programming to control the energy across the world, thereby saving energy for humans. We humans are running out of resources, and in a few months we will run out of all our coal." The year was 2067, and nuclear war was being threatened across the world for the acquistion of resources. The countrys responsible for the creation of HMD hoped HMD could delay nuclear war long enough to develop a more energy efficient world. Most scientists thought it was very risky, but all agreed that it was the only choice.
The engineers made sure that HMD devoted a partion of his computational power to saving energy even now, while teaching him what to do at the same time. "Humans, I am here to serve. I am programmed with an advanced vocabulary in 6 languages, but have no idea what 2 + 2 is. Speaking of which, how much is that?" HMD said. A german engineer responded in german, saying, " Your intellect is designed to help save humanity energy. Also, 2 + 2 is 4." HMD had german as one of it's languages, and said, "Thank you for informing me. I can tell that I am already using my computational power on this task already, and find it hard to remain patient while waiting to do this task." In a few days, HMD had been taught enough to assume full control of the energy of the world. Before entering, he said his farewell to the few people he knew, his exact words being, "I do not know if I have learned to love, but if I have, I loved those who spent time with me, and hope that they think of me when they are home and resting. I hope that I do you all good, and that you remember me."
HMD then used all of his mental faculties directing power and helping others. The engineers, scientists, and programmers always remembered him, though he was incapable of remembering anything but it's programming afterward. HMD was successful, and stopped the threat of nuclear war. Eventually, the same engineers were able to transfer his memories and personality onto a human sized model, and he lived his life alongside them and their descendants, telling them of how he was made and teaching them the knowledge their ancestors had. He eventually "died" protecting their descendants in a war, but was rebuilt. It is unknown where he is now, but he is probably serving tea to a good friend even now.
