This tale is intended to be included in an anthology of short stories centered on the topic of artificial intelligence created by @Dram12.  A.I. No One is his creation as is Ranger Common Howard. They both appear in Dram12's Just Common and The Book of Common.  Common's language is of the Appalachian variety and is delightful to experience.  More Babies Than Bullets touches on these works and, very lightly, on works by Brian Aldiss (Supertoys Last all Summer Long,) Steven Spielberg's AI, Philip K. Dicks (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep,) and Ridley Scott's Blade Runner.  Readers are invited to read and view, (or revisit, given the probable readership of these lines) these works as extraordinary inspirations for our creations.  Meanwhile, I hope they enjoy my sophomoric contribution to the study of Artificial Intelligence.  Believe me, A.I. is a piece of cake compared to Appalachian dialect...
