set timeout for bot to speak in round1 (step 5)

[agnescameron]

In the first Chat round, we currently expect the player to initiate conversation. This is to avoid the impression that the bot is somehow 'in control' of the interaction, but we run the risk that the interaction could be very slow/awkward to start if both parties remain silent.

Thus, perhaps building in a 4-8 second timeout window, after which the bot will initiate conversation might be a good way to handle the interaction. Unsure of the do's and dont's of this WRT the current react flow but happy to look at this later this week.
