'Seems like the Enlightened Ones truly had humanity at heart,' Nick thought as the image of the old Emperor vanished.
The message was short and concise. It simply told Nick that he could do whatever he wanted with the technology.
A moment later, the image of the woman reappeared. "I am at your service. Do you wish to designate yourself as the Emperor? If you are not the leader of humanity, please name the current leader Emperor."
"Designate me as Emperor," Nick said.
"Are you sure?" she asked.
"Yes."
The woman's eyes shone a bit.
"Welcome, Emperor. I am at your service," she said.
"What are you?" Nick asked.
"I am a limited artificial intelligence. I only have limited power in learning new knowledge, but I can assist you with all of the knowledge I have," she said.
"You are now designated as Assistant," Nick said.
"Assistant is at your service," she said.
