What happened
The Probability Engine draws the crew into competing designs involving the CIA, the Rani, the Master and other adversaries. A dangerous override threatens Raven. Yara volunteers to take the anchor role and becomes distributed through the Engine: she is living, not dead, though contact and perception are limited.
Where the book leaves us
Recovery takes longer than an early estimate. The crew reconnect with Ava, Cal and Anna, and the Circle gains formal protection. The Master escapes with another objective. At the end, the Doctor and Raven explore a world and record a picture for Yara. Her continuing participation does not remove their wish to have her beside them.
