Amber Case, Cyborg Anthropologist

"My father used to read me bedtime stories out of this book called Evolution of Consciousness," Case says. One night he drew two points on a piece of paper. He asked what the shortest distance was from point A to point B. "A straight line," she said. 'There's an even shorter distance," he responded. And he folded the paper over so the two points touched—"which is the idea of a worm hole. Compressed time and space," Case says. "He told me this when I was four or five, and I would think about it every single night."

"She's a digital native," Krug says. "She's from the future. She's, like, come back to help us figure out how to think."

Someone has a crush.

That comic you linked to is alarmingly close actually - just not quite the killing part.
