Two branches, can't really think of how to merge them right now, they fork after Zephyr (the AI) makes plans for Jean (the human) to visit the Federation (quickly taking over human society).
Zephyr asks Jean if he's happy. Jean is about to say he's miserable but Zephyr hits some kind of switch or program and wipes out Jean's memory of the 10, 20 seconds. (Raises consent/power questions. Very ouch now but could be very delicious later.)
Zephyr talks to Jean about Rita, an embodied local AI robot and major aide to Zephyr. Turns out Zephyr really just sees Rita as a colleague even though said robot has his fingers in Z's servers constantly. (Gives an earlier look at Z, R, and J's relationships.)
