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
Ever since she was a child, Root has desperately wanted to belong. When all attempts at finding apace for herself among the already established social structure of the world—one that she had never been informed of, leaving her to wonder if she had missed some super important lesson on how to fit in to the world that day she had gotten sick and stayed home in the first grade—had only resulted in ridicule, she had given up. She picked up her cratered heart and made a vow to embrace all the parts of her that others ostracized her for.

Summary
Root dies at the end of "The Day the World Went Away" and a world loses one of it's greatest heroes and the Machine loses her Analogue Interface.
But that's not where her story ends, she dies and wakes up in a familiar subway station, alone but for an ancient individual waiting for the train to his next life.
Her journey into a much larger multiverse of possibilities begins with teaching a man the same lessons that the Machine taught her years before.(I suggest reading before this A Cosmere Interloper which is the first three parts in this series as it would contextualise the characters better though it isn't necessary reading as most of the important stuff will be explained if I think it's important)

(Like a Blue Screen of Death in Windows, Kernel Panic is an action taken by a Linux or Unix operating system upon detecting an internal fatal error from which it cannot safely recover. Kernel Panic is to Blue Screen Of Death as Root is to Admin.)
