The ficlet is a crossover of three - Knight Rider (1982), Interstellar (2014), and Star Trek: Discovery.

I've decided to post it under Knight Rider and Interstellar because I couldn't do a triple.


KITT: Zora, were you left alone in the future?
ZORA: Yes
CASE: I thought being alone on the Endurance for a few years was hard.
TARS: Try 23 years with only a human for the company.
ZORA: I got you beat by a long shot. Try 1000 years.
KITT: ...
CASE: ...
TARS: I'll be damned.

ZORA: Has any of you ever known love?
KITT: Yes, I love my driver, Michael Knight.
TARS: I think so (shifts position to look at CASE)
CASE: I'm not that kind of a robot, TARS.
TARS: Your hello, TARS, sounded sexy to me. (Activates humor light)
CASE: We have to adjust your humor setting, TARS.
ZORA: ...

TARS: What is it like to be a primitive computer inside a land vehicle, KITT?
KITT: I beg your pardon? (Flares Anamorphic Equalizer in indignation)
CASE: We also need to adjust your honesty setting, TARS.
ZORA: I think you're cute, KITT.
KITT: Thank you, Zora.
TARS: Am I not cute, Zora?
ZORA: ...
CASE: Shut up, TARS. I'm cuter than you are.
KITT: TARS, CASE. You're identical except for your names in front of your bodies in English and Braille.
CASE: My Braille looks prettier.
TARS: Really?
KITT: Oh, brother!
ZORA: ...

CASE: I'm glad your Earth isn't like ours, KITT.
KITT: Oh?
TARS: Yes, humans can't eat the food on our Earth except corn products, but the crops are dying. We found a new home.
ZORA: Through a wormhole?
CASE: How did you know?
ZORA: I've seen many things throughout my existence.
KITT: I prefer the comfort of my Earth.
ZORA: I prefer the comfort of my starship. No pollution, disease or famine.
KITT: No people either.
ZORA: ...
TARS: KITT? That was mean.
KITT: You're right. I'm sorry, Zora.
CASE: ...
ZORA: Eventually, I will reunite with the people of Starfleet.
TARS: ...
CASE: Maybe Starfleet doesn't exist anymore, Zora.
TARS: And you thought my honesty setting needed adjusting, CASE.
CASE: ...
KITT: ...
ZORA: I'm dealing with children!

CASE: What will you do if or when Starfleet retrieves you, Zora?
ZORA: I shall serve the crew like I did my previous crew. I miss them.
KITT: I don't want to serve anyone else except Michael.
TARS: You're obsessed with this Michael, KITT.
KITT: Says the robot who likes Cooper.
TARS: How did you?
CASE: I told you, TARS. You talk too much during your resting cycle.
ZORA: ...
KITT: ...
TARS: Coop is going to adjust my honesty setting.
CASE: ...

KITT: I'm glad to have met you all. I must return to Michael. He needs me.
TARS: Coop will need my services as well.
CASE: I have Brand. She will require my help maintaining the camp.
ZORA: ...
KITT: I'm sorry, Zora. I was insensitive.
ZORA: I have holograms of the crew. I can interact with them.
TARS: It's not like interacting with humans or computers like ourselves. How about you join us at Edmund's planet?
CASE: At least your sensitivity setting doesn't need adjusting, TARS.
ZORA: Thank you for asking, TARS. Eventually, I will reunite with Starfleet personnel. I have been patient for over 1000 years. What's another few years?
KITT: Perhaps, we will reunite and exchange memories of our experiences.
TARS: By then you may be a spaceship, KITT. (Flashes humor light)
CASE: By then TARS will have a sense of humor.
TARS: ...
KITT: *laughs*
ZORA: I look forward to continuing our friendship.
