You know, the little explanatory bit at the beginning reminded me- no matter how smart Kate is, she's still the same girl who gets overwhelmed and tied up in anxious thoughts sometimes. I think she gets a kind of tunnel vision sometimes with her plans and schemes- she forgets about things outside of that. Sometimes that means 'other people can be allys, not just enemies' and sometimes...
Its 'Edwards gonna mess with you'.
Anyways as for the chapter... truly robots are the dream of all mad scientists.
