[Most of the time? They leave her alone. She's been with them for too long, contributed too much and left no alternatives. Who else can hack like she can? Who gets the kind of dirt that buys them friends with significant resources and no moral limitations? At six years old she was already securing footholds within Los Muertos— twenty-four years later, too few (that aren't young and stupid, short-lived to say the least) are bold enough to question either her motivations or her actions.
So she works out of her apartment these days. A cramped little studio close to LumeriCo's steadily growing foundation, like a predator nesting near its prey.
Her phosphorescent markings don't glow as brightly lately; attention fixated on those not-so-distant towers. Late nights spent staring at screens until her eyes are raw, sleeping in until there's hardly any daylight left. Too consumed by curiosity (by purpose) to even bother stopping for a second.
The day to day problems? Shipment errors, aggressive negotiations, territorial enforcement— someone else can handle those.

She's got her sights set on the horizon.]
