“I was sure I was gonna turn into an ice block out there!” I see that the malevolent being has taken tips from telemarketers on using “cutesy” dialogue to try to win people over ;-). (For those who don’t get the joke, there are con artist telemarketers who try to open with what someone has told them is quaint and folksy dialogue, such as, “There you are! You’re harder to get ahold of than a frog covered in butter!” to try to seem friendly and not like the con artists they really are.) I like how you dubbed the main characters the benevolent intelligence and the malevolent intelligence.  They’re so similar, but their viewpoints make them very different.  The malevolent giving the impression that he had no murderous intent toward the scientist is an example of how there are people who give the impression that they mean well and are trustworthy, but they’re actually malicious and self-serving.  In the end, the intelligence that had ambitions of conquest turned out to be a concerned and loving parent.  I honestly didn’t see the twist coming.  To think that such malice was caused by feelings of inferiority.  “…a tone so cold it would make the winter night shiver.”  Beautiful.

Overall this trilogy was moving.
