Kir is a "scav"—someone who grew up in the polluted, devastated wilderness between hive cities. She was kidnapped from the wastes at a young age and brought to a lab, where her mentor installed an AI in her head.
In Proof of Concept, by Gwyneth Jones, Kir is currently a scientist on a mission in the Needle, a year-long expedition in the Abyss deep underground. The Abyss could unlock the secret to travelling through space-time and save the human race.
But, of course, things are not as they seem. When the AI installed in her head starts talking to Kir for the first time and crewmembers begin to die, Kir is determined to figure out her mentor's secrets.
