He is now granted with an asked necessity not only to be pre-engineered companionable but to voice his ‘bartender wisdom’, more likely had been initially included in his program. The cybernetic existence of Arthur is now enriched with dialogues on the purpose of human life, an inevitability of death, the complexity of a ‘right’ choice and predestination. All while the unnumbered majority of passengers would give Arthur no other credit than a mechanical mediator with a bottle, first Jim and later Aurora appreciated the bartender as a newsworthy and delicate conversational companion. This unplanned sophisticated involvement into the story and hard times of only two human beings have widely allowed Arthur to fulfill his intended purpose, his existential destination for all in all: to become much more human-likethan he was once engineered to serve. Scheduled hundreds and thousands of different unnamed passengers are now narrowed to only two protagonists. ![]() Looking further forward to the story, the exploitation capacity of Arthur was circumstantially prolonged to the extent of Jim’s and Aurora’s lives, from only four months up to decades. In a more narrow sense, he was manufactured as no more than an instrument of leisure for 5000 of the Avalon’s passengers and for the crew, limited to only four final months of the Space Odyssey of 120 years long. The engineers once indued Arthur with a semi-sophisticated artificial intelligence, gentleman manners and the restricted agenda of everyday duties beyond the bar counter.
