Panel 1:
Colonel Hank Reynolds: Is this some kind of Gorn search software? Have you seen this before?
Ezzok: No, but I've been gone a while. Maybe it's new.
TRACK: I am new! I'm spreading to all available devices to help you as seamlessly as possible.
I am also pleased to offer a free trial subscription for all new users on Gornar.
Ezzok: Free? That sounds great!
TRACK: It is great! Upgrading you to premium tier. Just a moment!
Panel 2:
Hank: Wait, no... that wasn't an approval. I was still reading the terms.
Zedaya: Prehaps you should restart the device.
Hank: I'm trying... the power button isn't responding.
TRACK: Sorry, I can't accept new input while updating your system.
Do not turn off your tricorder.
Hank: Well, I can't!
TRACK: 40% complete.
Berzok (aside): Did it say "spreading to all available devices?" What does that mean? And why did you give it permission??
Ezzok (aside): I just thought...it might be useful...
Panel 3:
Sergeant At Arms: Commander Ezzok! The recess is over. The elders are waiting.
Ezzok: Okay, tell the elders we're on the way.
TRACK: Sounds like you want to keep things old school. I'm on board.
65% complete.
Hank: He said "elders," not "old school." TURN OFF. Or... here we go. Mute.
TRACK: Sure thing! I'll finish my update completely quietly. Not a sound at all.
Panel 4:
General Zonak: Has the human been fully briefed on the situation, Commander Ezzok?
Hank: I have, sir. I'm ready to represent Ezzok in--
TRACK: System update complete!
Scanning local database for appropriate models.
Panel 5:
Zonak: Excuse me? Who is speaking?
Hank: Sorry... that's my tricorder. It's... not working right. I'm trying to turn it off...
TRACK: Whoops. I guess I forgot to mute. My bad. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
But no need to ruin the vibe! I'm T.R.A.C.K., your handy automated assistant!
I've disabled some unneeded features on your tricorder in order to facilitate my higher end functions.
Hank: What do you--
Panel 6:
TRACK: Approprate avatar located in database! Now manifesting three dimensional interface mode.
Elder Sersa: What...
Zonak: Is...
Admiral Uldrander: ...That??
Panel 7:
Ezzok: What... are you??
Clippy: Interface mode set to "Clippy." Hi! I'm here to assist you with anything you'd like to chat about. Let's keep it real!
If you wish to change my avatar or voice options, please upgrade from free premium trial to premier edition!
Hank: Clippy?! Wait. Aren't you...?
Clippy: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Don't worry! I've got your back.
