Summary
Her long term goal of contacting The Machine at last realized, but forbidden by Her from leaving Ridgestone Psychiatric Facility, Root finds herself for the first time in a long time floating aimless, without a goal to pursue. Although she's incredibly resistant to treatment, and Dr. Carmichael is absolutely no help at all, in the four months she is confined, the influence of The Machine, some of the more dedicated support staff of Ridgestone and several of her fellow patients help Root to heal some old wounds, to adjust, to transform from the stepford smiling callous contract killer we met in her first appearances to the expressive, selfless, Analog Interface, devoted to doing whatever it takes to save the world.
(An Orphan Process is a computer process whose parent process has finished or terminated, though it remains running itself. It no longer has a _purpose_ but continues to use system resources.)

Summary
Since Northern Lights was disbanded, the ISA had been covering its tracks. In other words, they were killing off all of their former operatives who worked for Research.
Crimson Six Beta, also known as Theodora Brooks, was just one of many being exterminated, but she'd always had a way of sticking around, even when she wasn't supposed to. Until two months ago, she'd had unwavering loyalty to the ISA and to Control, not once questioning what she was told to do. But after Control's disappearance and Devon Grice's death, she found herself wanting to ask questions. Change was in the air, but she didn't let herself investigate, and so they let her live. Until now.
So, the Machine sends the team in DC to pick up a new, slightly pissed, slightly disheveled member.

Summary
I am Rick Dillinger, a temporary off-the-books member of the POI team and a keyboard warrior. Today I’m giving you, Harold Finch, a lesson. You, old man, are always calling yourself a tech nerd messiah, tapping out some code and thinking you’re God or something, huh?
Finch, you’re the head of this team, and just because you’re the boss, you think you have to control everything. That’s a huge responsibility. But look at how you’ve handled being a leader, a creator, and a savior. No one’s dared to say this to your face, probably because you’re still feeling pretty smug. Well, I’m saying it now. You have the following issues: moral outsourcing, technological monopoly, financial mismanagement, team dependence, class autocracy, misguided chivalry, and failure of character construction.

Summary
This is what happened.
The Devil gave Kaina a job. One she couldn’t pass up. So why not, she figured. One last mission. Tear it all down, and she could finally be free. She could be free to be whoever she wanted.
Of course, it went to hell—it always did. That quirk blew up in her face. It sent Kaina rocketing to who knows where. Well, this world is free, at least. Free of quirks, free of heroes. Free of pretty much everything Kaina knows. It’s almost peaceful. Still… something is off.
Something…something is certainly watching her.
