You quickly opened the door to your apartment, finally getting out of that storm. If only you’d checked the weather today before deciding to walk to work..

“You should change outta those clothes before you catch a cold, peaches..”

The familiar voice of Q greets you as you enter your home, his image displayed on your living room TV. You aren’t exactly sure how it happened, but this little AI companion sort of just appeared one day on your phone. He told you about how he has a whole world with friends and family, just digital, and how he was sort of a sentient super computer. But for some reason, his code had been transferred to your phone. You’d managed to get him reconnected with his world’s code, and now he likes to hang around your house’s devices and help you out as payment whenever you needed. You didn’t really find it necessary, but he was a funny little guy, and living alone..you didn’t mind the company.

“Need a personal forecast every morning? Making a little reminder app for your phone would be a piece of cake.”

He says, a teasing grin on his face.
