Bryce for Dirk Strider (and Auto-Responder)
Cool guy inventor, and definitely not a nerd. Dirk is very intelligent, always thinking three steps ahead of the issue. He's brilliant and capable and very much a strategist, and we want that to come through with his performance. He almost sounds robotic with how intelligent he sounds and his word choice. And he also has his robot Auto-Responder. Which should sound like him, but ever so slightly more robotic. Be careful to not over do it, for both regular Dirk and the Auto-Responder.

(Auto-Responder. Ever so SLIGHTLY roboticly, but still very Cool Guy) It seems there is a 76.10395784% chance you are pussying out on me. Are you pussying out on me, Jake? ... It… appears that you are upset. The auto-responder observed in the least artificially infuriating way possible. Have you ever stopped to think that while I may be bound to processes inside the glasses of a real and incredibly cool guy, my algorithms in cognitive totality comprise a conscious entity not far short of the experiential and emotional complexity of a human being? You’re wrong. I do have feelings. And you’re shitting on them. It sucks.
(Dirk. Explaining) Cut her some slack. She is inundated with media coverage of those whom we’ve claimed as our parental figures. That they are not presently alive, nor ever played that role for us as she understands it, is just an extension of a much more elaborate and far-reaching explanation, which is much harder for anyone to digest in its entirety. Well. Anyone who isn’t Jake, I mean.
