    I was noticing some comparison.

    Zen/Scorpio is like the all knowing TARDIS.

    Orac is like K-9.

    Am I correct?

    Orac was essentially oral Google. K9 was a weapons-capable multimeter.
    Zen/Scorpio was the annoying voice on iPhones that everyone silences
    after the first day. Avon is a close match to the Doctor in a bad mood though.
