“Of Course I still love you” is the name of the drone ship. They’re all named after the ships in a particular science fiction novel series, I forget which one.

Ian Banks’ “Culture” novels. These are named after the ships in those novels. The ships are run by AI. The AI choose the names themselves, and apparently have fun with it.
