Narrative:

Aircraft flight plan processing incident. Aircraft didn't hand off to ZKC ARTCC because flight plan processing from ZAU to ZID was incomplete. Receiving controller at ZID didn't know he was talking to airplane. He thought ZAU was handling necessary coordination with ZKC. Aircraft went into ZKC without a handoff -- airspace violation.
