Neil is being stalked by Kit-10, an insane all-powerful female AI. Sarah loses her visitation rights. Angela is on a new joint space mission with a friendly Russian astronaut, Tatianna Kosviskova. Kit-10 uses them as hostages.
While working late one night, Neil begins an online chat with a mysterious girl who only identifies herself as Kitten. Over the next several days, Kitten begins to harass Neil via his computer and cellphone. With no clue about Kitten's identity, Neil begins to suspect that his school's new computer system is actually Kitten, and sets out to rid himself of the obsessive system.—Marc Hayot
