I would totally love an ending where she flips it around and interrogates you. Great work on writing her! I like her attitude a lot.
I had clicked on the tutorial repeatedly, but it didn't "go away" for the first few stages. Only at the later ones, but it was fine at the last stage. Pretty odd.
And no worries. The rationale on severing the connection makes perfect sense. I shouldn't really be leaving stuff on idle in the background for that long anyway. :') If you do continue with this game, I'd love to see its more final form.
