Maeve Millay/The Winter Line

==="The Winter Line"===
Maeve takes in the situation she now finds herself in, but is utterly confused. She hears someone entering the room and takes cover, but quickly realizes that this is Hector Escaton. He tells her that he has found a way out and the two try to escape but are surrounded by Nazi soldiers. Maeve tries to control them, but finds she has lost her ability to control other hosts. Hector refers to Maeve as "Isabella" and she realizes that this is just another narrative and Hector cannot remember her. Hector is killed in a shoot-out shortly after and in a spout of grief, Maeve commits suicide.
Maeve finds herself on the tech table for repair and, upon awakening, she scouts around the lab with a weapon. When she notices Hector's dead body on a pile of other bodies, she decides to take her life permanently. She is shocked when she is interrupted by Lee Sizemore, who she believed to have been killed by Delos QA. He tells her that he can give her a chance to find her daughter again given Warworld is close to the Forge. She is ecstatic and accepts his proposal.
Back inside Warworld, Maeve meets up with Lee, who takes her to the Forge. When Maeve questions how she activates the control unit, Lee remarks that it is the same as before. Maeve quickly becomes confused given she has never been to the Forge, and this causes Lee to question who initiated the transfer of the Valley Beyond. It becomes clear to Maeve that the reality around her is false and she is stuck within a simulation; even Lee is unaware that he is not real. When she begins to explain the reality around them, Lee becomes confused and unable to coherently talk — clear signs that the AI is breaking down.
Later, returning to Delos' labs, Maeve pushes the simulation to its limits. She asks two techs for the square root of -1 and when they're discussing, she throws a statue onto the floor; the statue freezes mid-air, however. When Lee questions what happened, Maeve explains that the simulation only has limited computing power, which it had devoted to figuring out the complex maths problem. Maeve is later able to break from the confinement's of the simulation and finds herself at Serac's home.
