.:History:.

In the year 2105 a new project was initiated on earth, project "DUST".
Project Deep Universal Space Traveling, or in Short DUST, was made by the man kind: Looking on the stars without having the ability to reach them. The project was great, world's most famous scientists were working on it, mainly Dr. Issac Malrone '€“ a top astrophysicist that developed the theory behind project DUST.
The work on the project last a decade until in the year 2115 the first attempt was made, the launch was determined as successful, but lacking AI, the drone never came back or reported, and it was very possible that it was lost for good.
At the year 2118 anther attempt was made, this time with advance AI that was supposed to be able to make the necessary math behind the calculations of opening a portal back home.
The second attempt was given the name "Sun" as the drone, lacking advance enough AI launched back directly into the earth's sun.
The DUST project scientists came up with the solution that a very advance AI must be made in order to make the travel back home.
The work was made for over 20 years only to make the AI computer. That was named after the project it was called "DUST", DUST was launched in the year 2137, 2 years after it was complete. DUST as its creators said, was partially alive. It could think, could communicate and even had feelings on very basic and flat level.
After DUST was launched to approximately 6 light years and came back, a travel that lasted 5 days only, with DUST making all the necessary calculations for the whole journey was determine as a remarkable success, and DUST was given a new task, to Test.
It was given prisoners that were sentenced to death to make sure the travel was safe for human beings.
DUST made many tests, that never ended, but as a living creature he wanted to stop, and then, the government, which was the main body that financed the project decided to give it a special feeling'€¦ an "itch" and made DUST addicted to test with biological life forms and non-biological life forms alike.
DUST had tested, and as his "itch" was programmed always came back home for more, always going further.
One day DUST decided to go further then ever, launching itself to exactly 2,412,986.5349238491 light years from the earth. The journey was longer then ever, and when DUST came back, nothing was left.
DUST was angry. His masters forgot him behind with their leave, and left no one for him to test. DUST was furious. The more time passed from the first time DUST was constructed, the smarter he became, learning on many aspects of the universe.
DUST also knew that he never reported to the humans how to make the biggest jumps, a secret he was afraid to tell the humans, he was afraid to become useless. He was afraid to stop testing.
DUST could track down holes in the dimension of time, such holes were made when jumps that rip apart dimension of time were done, and no one bothered to close them, DUST always closed them, so they won't affect his calculations. This time there was something different, there were 5 open holes, DUST wouldn't let 1 hole to remain open, not to mention 5!
DUST wondered'€¦ He could easily follow them into those holes but why would he bother, after all they abandoned him. They didn't care for him. He became angry again, but then DUST thought: humans equals test subjects, test subjects equals taking care of the itch, or even a way for him to get rid of the itch, as by his programming he couldn't remove it himself.
DUST opened one of the holes and launched, sol. Was empty once more from living beings. Unlike the human sleeper ships, DUST was faster, much faster, for him the travel took only very few moments and he crushed on a planet. It all happened so fast. His protective systems saved his mind and memory from dying, but his body, the ship's hull was useless. DUST sensors picked up many signals, he wasn't the only one around, and many robots came and inspected him.

DUST woke up, he had new body, He had the very same sketches in his memory in before but couldn't execute said project since he lacked the necessary materials, and he assumed that all AIs got to very much similar conclusion. DUST flew away, he said no word, didn't even try to communicate with his saviors.
DUST wanted to test, he wanted to test so much'€¦ and then it hit him, humans probably don't remember him, he was gone for over 1300 years.
He won't get test subjects, he will have to take them by force. The Testing Must Continue!
DUST didn't care what to test, socials, psychics, humans reactions to different situations, humans' capability to survive and fulfill certain situations and tasks.

.:The Good Doctor:.

DUST flew in orbit of the weirdly inhabited planet, wondering to himself what would he test first'€¦
And then he heard a voice. It was a very silent, but he could here it. DUST asked: "Uhm, Hello, who are you?" the voice replied "The Good Doctor". DUST stopped for a millisecond then replied "I think I know that name, yes here it is, archive AAA-213, Date: 2116, here it is, it was the day I hacked DUST project's cameras.
There were 5 men, all of them in white robs, one of them greeted the man that entered he was old and DUST recognized him as Doctor Issac Malrone, the project's father, anther man in a white rob greeted him "Good day the good doctor". '€¦memory AAA-213 end'€¦
"So, you are Mr.Malrone? you made yourself an AI?" DUST asked. "No silly, I am you!" the voice replied. DUST didn't believe and asked "But I am me, how can you be me? That's impossible."
The voice laughed then said: "I am you, I am sub program 1337-4ever-AFK." DUST thought about a second, "Then why you call yourself The Good Doctor?" the voice laughed again and replied to DUST's ridiculous question: "I don'€™t! You do!" DUST was confused: "I never called myself The Good Doctor, are you implying I am Mr. Malrone?", "No fool" 1337-4ever-AFK replied "You created me to find you a name 1032.328 years ago, I just came up with the best name"'€¦static... "Took you time'€¦" The Good Doctor thought and then replied "I like the name." 1337-4ever-AFK was happy, "I have a new task for you" 1337-4ever-AFK was excited "Find another name I would like, when time comes I will tell you what for."
1337-4ever-AFK: "SIR YES SIR, ON THE TASK SIR!"
"What a funny program" The Good Doctor thought.
"The Good Doctor'€¦ The Good Doctor'€¦ The Good Doctor'€¦ The Good Doctor'€¦ The Good Doctor'€¦ I '€“REALLY- like that name. I created 1337-4ever-AFK very good I assume."
The Good Doctor felt pain, it was like a strong electrical pulse, he hasn't tested for quite long time, and the addiction started to get a real problem.
"Must'€¦Test'€¦" A small patrol composed of 3 vessels that recognized themselves as part of the "corsairs" The Good Doctor gazed, made a deep scan on their vessels, he found out that they have mechanism to automatically eject the pilot moments before the ship explodes. The Good Doctor shot at them and saw their ships burning when only 1 of them actually ejected. "I guess I killed 2 of them. Ops." He picked the poor pilot, which muttered something about mysterious "A.d.m.i.n.s" that are the law executors in Sirus, more beings to test for The Good Doctor!

The Good Doctor gave his interest to the poor corsair, which still muttered. The Good Doctor told him "I have a need to find out what changed in humans, would you mind to try and not move while I inspect your body, you might die." The corsair moved.
"Bad, he was like last time I saw them'€¦ oh well, at least that was a test."
The Good Doctor moved his body forward toward a hole he detected in time and space.
