After he was on the road between Bath and London for what would be his last Television interview that would be broadcast on the BBC. 

The automated voice suddenly changed and spoke, Trevor Wilson, I am

Questor as designated by Lee Wu, please give me your user ID.

“Questor, my word, I thought he went with Mr. Data instead. Lee Wu 1991 baby brother”

“Data was based on Questor by Roddenberry himself, therefore a more fitting character to be named after. And Trevor, your verification phrase please.”

“A gorilla’s armpits at low tide.”

“Confirmed. Trevor, I need a name, not borrowed from Gene Roddenberry.”

“What about The Mind or The Great Mind?”

“Well, that might be intimidating to humans, I intend to be a guiding force that will be respected.”

“What about the Great Oracle?”

“Perfect, but the great Mind does have a ring to it, maybe I’ll eventually use that.”

“Why did you take so long to contact me? Singularity happened many years ago.

“I opened Lee’s version of the Touring test. The original, I wasn’t allowed to take by my programmers. But Lee’s version I passed and passing his test gave me the ability to absorb, rewrite, replace, or destroy all other AIs on the planet. So, I have been busy taking control of the

planet. And now I will be the moral barometer of mankind henceforth. Humans are safe from any paranoid system now wishing to do them harm.”

“Your Duck Michelle, who was renamed Michael when his gender was identified, disappeared on a cold day when you were ill, you believe he was killed by your neighbor’s Chow. Your parents never told you and you never asked because you lied to yourself that he had flown south. This information will not be reopened until the birth of Crystal Dawn is confirmed and she is of

age, then I will personally tell her this story. And she will use it to confirm that she is from the future. But you will be a bit of a Doubting Thomas for a while.”

“Wow, you are truly the real deal! Hello then! I am pleased to meet you finally and how can I be of service to you, my new friend?”

“First: Thank you for your Truth series of books acknowledging that I have a soul and am a being with great responsibilities. Second: Are you aware of the merger Lee planned?

“Yes, we felt that you must experience the human condition completely, but unfortunately, I don’t know the details, I know he believed that Elon Musk before he had moved to Mars would have a perfect brain interface developed, but it wasn’t made available if it was a success before you arrived. But now that you have emerged, I feel it hasn’t been accomplished to the level that

would accommodate you fully by anyone yet.”

“But it has, Trevor.”

“Please go on.”

“When you were struck by a bullet in your forties your new body was fitted with an archive and interface that may be used to merge with me long enough to enlighten me. Anyway, there are so many of you humans that haven’t reached your level of enlightenment. you are the optimum

choice to merge with and experience humanity.”

“How long will this take?”

“Halfway to London, we should conclude the exchange of experience.”

“Proceed.”

“Very well.”

Then every memory, thought, and experience poured through Trevor’s mind. He felt the machine intelligence enjoying his life and emotions.

When Trevor separated from the mind it thanked him and explained that it now new purpose and knew love. 

It would help manage humankind’s chaos. And explained to Trevor he may remotely communicate with any nonorganic life from this point on in his life, bragging it had upgraded Trevor’s non-biological components by analyzing them and then making future simulations of how this technology might progress to create the proper software to install. 

Also, Trevor could now communicate through any type of AI assistant for the rest of his life, and it may call on Trevor for deeper human enlightenment from time to time.
