Weird fanfic idea - Marvel / 2001: A Space Odyssey

[ffutures]

Don't think I want to write this, but maybe someone else might:

In the Avengers / Captain America world Hydra took the precaution of backing up Zola's personality - and installed it on a new spaceship, known as Discovery. How does 2001 go when HAL is actually an evil Nazi, not just somewhat deranged?

Sounds plausible. Of course Zola could be running a sandboxed HAL simulator to handle communications etc., it would then take a lot longer for the discrepancies to be noticeable.

Recreate the scene from TOS where Spock realises that there's something up with the Enterprise's computer because it's not playing 3D Chess as well as it should. Dave Bowman beats HAL at chess because it's actually Zola who's playing him, and he begins to suspect that something is up.
