I'm all for the use of the synth voice. And I'm into literature as well as sci-fi myself so I may be biased, but I like your quotes and thematic idea quite a bit.
I've never used Alter/Ego so I don't know what level of control you have but I could stand for the voice to be a bit more lively, not life-like, mind you, but lively (in a robot sort of way!). I've got no experience doing something like this, but I wonder if some effect like a chorus might add to it. Maybe an effect that is random might help enhance the character? Maybe someone else can make a more coherent suggestion than mine?
Obviously the voice is occupying a space in the arrangement, so you don't want to over-treat it with anything that will cause it to get too much in the way of anything else. I'm rather impressed with how the voice sounds, though: artificial, but not too stilted.
And I could still stand to hear a bit more reverb overall. It sounds to me like you have a grasp of the technical side of writing orchestral music, but you are making a fantasy score; I think a wetter sound would bring out a bit more of the "Space Opera." Then again, you may not need to worry about that just yet.
