I get the feeing that Momoocular Trihornis may just have been some form of Watchdog Program.  Easily dealt with, but taking it out may just have triggered an alarm to alert the real Guard Dog Programs.

Is it cold in here?:
Agreed. This has the feel of Oh You Thought That Was The Real Problem.

@Gyrre, I really like that hipster joke and will be quoting it all over.

But could they? These are just representations. Maybe the magic popgun isn't a magic popgun unless Emily's intellect is holding it. Maybe its a part of Emily's mind as much as a software artifact?

I'm torn, on the one hand I kind of think there should be something more dramatic going on, but I struggle to think what more dramatic is in a logical sense. I'm not sure that, for example, having Emily beat the door down with an axe would be any more logical a representation of entering the locked out space than the silly big key was...

I'm thinking that the next step would be a huge jigsaw puzzle, like a million+ pieces. All depicting water.
