Renee Sinclair had always thought the system in her head was just some high-tech product from another dimension—a machine, or a program.

She sneered, her tone derisive. "If you hadn't been misleading me this whole time, making me use the wrong methods to go after Felix Preston, would I be in such a miserable state right now?"
[I misled you?]
The robotic female voice was full of incredulity. [Host, when did I ever mislead you? Driving away Charlotte Shaw to become the only woman by Felix Preston's side—wasn't that the optimal route for your mission?]
