Lara pretty much does like regular people do, only ramped up a bit. She saves a child if she sees it, holds open doors for people on crutches, etc, and she feels pretty good about it. There are too many other people making a full time job of it, though, so she feels like there's not so much reward in it anymore.








Probably. But they wouldn't dispatch to every emergency anymore without the team.

You know how the saying goes, about attracting more favor with honey than vinegar.








More on that in an upcoming story post, when Anna gets to use that transmitter.








Funny thing about that perception that I might have accidentally created: Chiaki is a very good strategist, but she's not the only one. Lara is also capable of some shrewd planning (though at the moment she might be too busy keeping everyone alive).








It depends. As long as she's moving, she is generating her own heat and recharging a large percentage of spent battery power. Her body though, is designed to protect itself from damage, and if something critical like her "blood" thickening from lack of water and from cold begins happening, it will start to shut down to protect her.








There are probably still magnetic rocks/metals within the planet. It's not much, but gives Lara some limited power at least. Though ironically, it might be the remnants of the sun's core showering the planet with electromagnetic interference giving her power (which would kill the others, naturally, which makes Lara more essential).
