-> '''Gavotte:''' The client's name is GODOT. Apparently, a "Genetic Organism Designed Only for Thought".

-> '''Gavotte:''' Quite. GODOT is a SIGINT [=DoD=] AI, formerly of the DLIS.
-> '''Tip:''' An ex-military AI? What was its job?
-> '''Gavotte: Thinking up acronyms, mostly.
-->-- ''Webcomic/SkinHorse''

-> '''Gavotte:''' One nanosecond after its birth in an MIT lab, GODOT named itself. It went on to coin the acronym "IHTFP", still the MIT student motto. It was shortly claimed by the military. At its peak, it could generate over 5,000 new acronyms per second.
