'''The binary apprentice''' was a [[block transfer sculpture]] created by [[Zhe Ikiyuyu]]. In order to imbue it with an AI persona, Zhe used an organic matrix called the [[quantum sphere]]. | '''The binary apprentice''' was a [[block transfer sculpture]] created by [[Zhe Ikiyuyu]].

The created AI persona represented two opposing aspects of Zhe's psyche and served as a physical manifestation of Zhe's self-doubt. Soon after its creation, it split into two separate, binary aspects, each as powerful as Zhe and drawing their strength and characteristics directly from Zhe. | The created AI persona represented two opposing aspects of Zhe's psyche and served as a physical manifestation of Zhe's self-doubt.

They could change their appearance at will but ordinarily presented themselves as a boy and a girl. The apprentice was suspicious of all visitors, jealously guarding its exclusive access to Zhe, whom it called its originator. | They could change their appearance at will but ordinarily presented themselves as a boy and a girl.

When Zhe went into a voluntary stasis to drain them of power they took control of [[Zhe's moon|Zhe's private retreat]] for almost hundred years. When the [[Tenth Doctor]] and [[Gabby Gonzalez]] tried to visit Zhe, the apprentice assumed they were trying to get an apprenticeship and attacked them. However, the girl apprentice warmed up to Gabby and gave her a connection to the quantum sphere, enabling Gabby some very limited use of [[Block Transfer Computation]]. Eventually, awoken from the stasis by the Doctor, Zhe returned both aspects of the apprentice back into the quantum sphere, announcing that the experiment was over. | When Zhe went into a voluntary stasis to drain them of power they took control of [[Zhe's moon|Zhe's private retreat]] for almost hundred years.

In the end, Zhe considered the creation of the binary apprentice a mistake and thanked the Doctor for helping her correct it. However, when asked by Gabby, Zhe did not exclude mending and educating it in the future.
