[edit] Plot summary
Nita and Kit start to fight about the solution to the pollution in Jone's Inlet, leading Nita to start to work on her own for a while. Soon after, Nita's mother falls ill. She is taken to the hospital with a brain tumor. Meanwhile, Kit finds out that his dog, Ponch, is able to create universes out of nothing. Nita begins to practice with kernels - magical "software" that describes and reflects the surrounding area- in order to try to save her mother's life. While her mother is in surgery, Nita enters her body and begins to search for the kernel in order to kill the cancer. Kit, using the universes Ponch creates, is able to also enter Mrs. Callahan's body to aid Nita and her mother. In the end, Mrs. Callahan defeats the Lone Power in her body, but still succumbs to the cancer.
