The next morning, Barbie gives her sister a big surprise. Skipper turns on her laptop--and it works!  "Thanks, Barbie!

Skipper est venue en panique voir Barbie car elle a lu un article sur la protection des données sur Internet et ne se sent plus en sécurité. «Ne t'inquiètes pas, la rassure Barbie, je suis allée à une cryptoparty la semaine dernière, je vais t'expliquer comment te connecter au réseau Tor pour que ton adresse IP soit cachée quand tu regardes des films X.»

‘Congratulations,’ I heard Barbie say. ‘We just became an Eastern Seaboard Fission Authority inspection probe...’ That meant we were clearing fiberoptic lines with the cybernetic equivalent of a fire siren, but in the simulation matrix we seemed to rush straight for Midge's data base. I couldn’t see it yet, but I already knew those walls were waiting. Walls of shadow, walls of ice.

‘Son of a bitch,’ said Barbie, ‘we just told Midge we’re an IRS audit and
three Supreme Court subpoenas... Hang on to your ass, Skip...’

So long, Ricky. Maybe now I see you never. And dark, so dark, in the halls of
Midge's ice.
‘Congratulations,’ I heard Ba…

Barbie makes it to computer class just before the bell rings. As soon as class begins, Barbie raises her hand. "Yes, Barbie?" asks Ms. Smith, the teacher. "I know the assignment was to design a website, but I got frustrated with that stupid Adobe In-Design and wrote a b-tree lookup algorithm that is, in the worst case, O(log n) in search time complexity. Is this ok? I really HATE Adobe products..."

After class, Barbie meets with Steven and Brian in the library. "Hi, guys," says Barbie. "How was football practice? Nevermind, I don't really care. Brian, I made a new iOS build for your phone, but the UI has some scaling bugs and the performance lags to hell if you leave it soaking for more than thirty minutes. I'm pulling down XCode now, I'll have a patch for you in no time!"

Barbie boots Ubuntu on Skipper's laptop, but Skipper panics when she can't find a Start Menu. "Don't worry!" says Barbie. "I just booted Linux from a live USB so I don't have a shit-for-brains command line interface. Your files are all still there."

Skipper is intrigued by the new operating system and decides to find out more about it later.

Vous gravez encore tous vos fichiers sur CD-rom alors que j'ai fait une sauvegarde des miens dans le Cloud. Evidemment, je les ai cryptés au préalable, parce qu'on ne peut pas être totalement sûr que personne n'y ait accès»
