Theresa does so well in the fifth grade that she skips to the seventh grade. Jan Struthers and the other agents continue to monitor her. One of Norman Boutin's most used responses against critics who couldn't finish Empress Theresa is to tell them that, since they haven't read the whole book, their opinion doesn't matter. He claims that they can't judge characters, plot, how good a story is, etc., because they haven't seen the full scope of what happens. A jet fighter sidles up next to her, and with this she has renewed confidence in her abilities. She spends hours reading the pilot manuals to understand how to fly the plane, and after being escorted by multiple planes on the way to New York, she manages to come in with a plane that escorts her to nearing the city. When she nears the city, the plane ahead of her convinces her to sharply turn to the ocean to make a water landing. She couldn’t do it, saying that she was afraid of doing it wrong. Her theory is that a water landing would give her more leniency in case she made any mistakes. Her response? “I’m going to the airport! They can go to hell!”

Character Shilling: Prime Minister Peter Blair thinks that Theresa is the greatest being in the entire world. He isn't the only one who does this but he's very prominent about it. Theresa didn’t sleep, in full remorse of whatever she was going to do. She ponders what it means to do the right thing, and what it means to be right. Steve gets up early in his insomnia to do some research on the Sun. He found out the Sun had measurable amounts of xenon in it, a dense gas that, if used on hurricanes, would cause them to be much less severe. After discussing the idea with Theresa, then with a cabal of scientists, the plan is set in action - a temperature-measuring device called Sky Spy would allow Theresa to figure out the melting points of the various gasses and a series of satellites would allow Theresa to have accurate positions of the Sun as they moved. The astronomers are excited by the prospect of being able to witness the sun so up close. A short time later, while defending the idea of a low-income individual being a reader, Norman recounts a story of a "human resources worker" having difficulty with big words as proof that even intelligent people could have difficulty with large words.A Minor Kidroduction: The book opens with Theresa merging with HAL at age ten. The "plot" doesn't start until she's 18. My work does not deserve to be criticized if I am suffering. The author's pain does not elevate the value of his or her work. Novels are valued for their originality, believable or relatable characters and their capability to elicit emotions on the reader. What Happened to the Mouse?: Theresa's family seems to disappear out of existence. Same with the Parker family's children who only appear a couple of times before being forgotten about again. If a reader does this, and still dislikes the book, then Norman Boutin will simply dismiss their argument because they didn't read the whole thing. Theresa's small size is described as helping her throw faster when she plays baseball. In reality, pitching speed has far more to do with upper body strength, the grip on the ball, and how hard it gets thrown. Baseball, particularly in the past, is known as a sport where body size isn't an essential trait for a decent player. A legend like Babe Ruth could get by with a pudgy frame thanks to Baseball relying far more on short-term bursts of speed over long-term endurance.

Applied Phlebotinum: HAL is basically a ball of concentrated Phlebotinum. Theresa vaguely explains how it functions with pseudo-scientific jargon.Loved by All: Theresa is universally adored the entire planet, who throng about her wherever she goes. People are captivated by her the moment she walks in a room simply because she radiates goodness. Professionals in their fields are in awe of her wisdom. The only people who dislike her are the press because she's just so gosh-darn perfect that they can't dig up any dirt on her. Norman is extremely prideful, but also prone to self-pitying to inflate his pride. On one comment he said "Norman Buiton, the most hated man since Caligula, and proud of it!", in response to criticism. They return after a week to fix a minor issue concerning the rain - it can’t rain all the time, so there must be some control given to when and where the rain happens. Blair is given control of the chessboard, where can can control how many columns are creating rain at any one time. After giving this responsibility away, the Hartleys are ready once again to continue relaxing. Starfish Alien: Hal is an ageless, indestructible life form that looks like a white orb. His biology is utterly inexplicable, supposedly being based on dark matter, but it is known that he can only reproduce while in symbiosis with a host. The New York Times posts an exclusive about how Theresa is looking at North Korea as her next target. President Stinson demands a meeting with her, and instead has a General meet with her, as Theresa is paranoid the President would kill her. Theresa’s idea is to target everyone in North Korea randomly and, if they have a weapon, destroy the weapon, allowing South Korean forces to move in. The general notes that the common people of North Korea, with this new liberation, will kill every governmental worker - all 2 million of them. “The atrocities will make Nazi concentration camps look like vacation resorts.” A little bit more tact is necessary to do this correctly. She needs to convince the North Koreans to want to leave before she can do anything.
