As the answer was not a logical one, the BioHIVE was at a loss as to how to respond. Doing a quick search of Terebithia's data banks, BioHIVE soon discovered that it was a quote from the book The Hobbit: There and Back Again. However, none of the data banks could tell it just how this particular quote applied to the situation, as all characters within it were fictional and thus irrelevant to the scene. Thus, BioHIVE came to the conclusion that it's own processing power or store of knowledge was insufficient to detect the meaning of this response.
In order to gleam it's meaning, BioHIVE informed it's superior, BioPILOT, of this odd and confusing reply. BioPILOT was more experienced with dealing with humans, and had been built to interface with them more often, instead of simply search and destroy, as BioHIVE had been. And, as BioHIVE had hoped, BioPILOT knew the answer to this mystery, which lay in the fact that he was referring to BioHIVE as Smaug. Apparently, he was using a quote from a book to illustrate a statement in a manner that BioHIVE found nothing less than confusing. It was utterly inefficient, compared to the simple act of stating one's meaning.
This entire exchange between AI's occured in what a human would precieve as 1.2 seconds, as information was exchanged and processed at the speed of light without need for verbal communication. And, at the end of it all, it led to BioHIVE's well-thought-out response. "You have been decided to be completely inefficient. Stop speaking in such a manner, or you will be eliminated." BioHIVE was sure the being would later be grateful to it that it had corrected such an obvious fault in it's thinking. That is, if BioHIVE didn't kill the creature before it could do such a thing.
