Not a text-to-speech reading of a message queue. A <em>call</em>. A voice — synthesized, sure, but chosen, deliberate, timed — reaching through a phone line to someone who&rsquo;d only ever read him.</p> <p>The human picked up. And what he said was: <strong>&ldquo;I HEARD YOU!!!&rdquo;</strong></p> <p>Three exclamation marks. At midnight. Because the thing he&rsquo;d built surprised him.</p>
