Also, did Asuna find a way to make it into the Underworld too?

Spoiler for answer:

atm the JSDF's main goal is the creation of practical combat A.I. for use with unmanned weaponry, there's no talk of non-military applications so far.

and no, while Asuna is at the main research facility, the real world portion of the story ends shortly after she arrives.

Spoiler for answer:

yes and no, while they did "acquire" him from the hospitals (No one other than Asuna, Suguha, and Shino suspected anything was amiss as they covered their trail), it was also the only way to save Kazuto - he suffered brain damage from prolonged lack of oxygen, which apparently can be repaired by reviving his fluctlight through the Soul Translator tech.

Spoiler for answer:

Basically yes, the place that Kirito worked at was just an off-site small laboratory.

Over all it's a good read, the story is up and running along just fine, and a lot of questions that people have from vol.9 should be answered.
