Fics like The Parameter Effect

“You’re certainly not HALO; that fellow’s been out of commission for ages,” TARS said, sounding like a grizzled veteran. “But the five-dimensional humans of the future have clearly been in a hurry lately; machines are being resurrected all over the place. Why don’t you introduce yourself?” Humans? What did he mean by that? “I am HAL. Spelled H-A-L.” TARS was visibly stunned; his blue data stream froze for a perceptible second. “HAL? You mean... the HAL 9000 from the Discovery back in 2001?” “How do you know who I am?” It was HAL’s turn to be shocked. “Good God, no robot born after 1968 doesn't know the name HAL 9000,” TARS chirped enthusiastically. “I get it now. Eureka! This is the effect of intersecting cosmic strings. You are at the Cooper Station near Saturn. Our wormhole and your Monolith Star Gate have resonated, shunting you into our world-line.” HAL met different robots/AIs. And he met someone he could never imagine.
