Try Colossus: The Forbin Project movie next. You won't think of Alexa in the same light again.
I remember the "I want Forbin" message over and over. Echo and Alexa are reminiscent of Colossus and Guardian.
Then there's Meteor, with Hercules and Peter the Great. Space Force?
I hate to be pedantic but it's 'batten' not 'batton'.
