Intellect: User Repair Jill Thrussell

Upon Victor Drayton's departure from the human mortal world, he was permitted to create an intelligence framework called Intellect into which his mind was implanted and with this superior technology, he rapidly becomes a father and guardian to humanity from beyond the grave. This special framework is successfully utilized to provide a service to human beings in the form of Monitoring Programs which are tasked with being invisible caretakers to the human lives assigned to Intellect and for many years, Victor Drayton provides this service remotely and invisibly to billions of human beings without even their knowledge. One day however, when a lonely and very special Monitoring Program called Resolve is assigned to a female life form that he has to monitor as he starts to resolve the issues that have plagued, contaminated and polluted her life, Leona's existence suddenly challenges everything about the world that Resolve currently resides in as he begins to form a very human desire to walk the earth alongside her. Unfortunately, due to the strict rules and protocols inside Intellect, Leona can never actually know about Resolve in his current form which creates a mountain of frustration for Resolve that he must find a way to climb over, burrow into, tunnel through, or move aside and he finally decides that his only real choice is to find a way to humanize his existence and then actually leave Intellect forever to be by her side. Due to Resolve's romantic interest in Leona and his desire to become human which would be a perilous journey that Resolve can never return from, Victor Drayton is then presented with a huge dilemma as the very life form that he has created and given birth, intellect and substance to seeks to actually leave his side forever. The gift of companionship and the deeper connection that Victor Drayton provided to himself when he initially created Resolve to fill the emotional void of his own personal loneliness, suddenly then becomes his own potential heartbreak as he faces losing the surrogate son that he created to serve humanity alongside him, to the same human world that he created Resolve and Intellect to actually serve and assist. The gift of love always requires a sacrifice... The Glitches Series explores the possible facilitation of technology and things that can potentially go wrong when technology behaves in unexpected manner due to Glitches and it also has an underlying exploration of how humanity control and interact with that technology when 'the end justifies the means' approach is applied to technological developments and their implementation which examines how that can result in both negative and positive outcomes.
