After a rush to get reports done yesterday (and working through to 4am then starting again at 9am up to just finishing now an hour before deadline) I'm thinking sleep might be useful.

I wonder if Lara will seek her out?

He hasn't finished the Herringcarp horror series yet. That's the real reason.
> > > I hate to be the one to say it, but the New Lair Legion (not the Juniors, the other one) isn't terribly powerful.
> I think I short-changed the above sentence. In crime-fighting they don't seem to be terribly powerful. Probably because they lack the discipline and cohesiveness more than the raw power. If you try to kill a fly with a cannonball you'll probably miss. More on that in a moment.

The Purveyors' Legion has no intention of fighting any crime, although it's possible they may take down any criminal organisation that doesn't make its protection payments.
> > I think if you try to show Lara "punking" the Purveyors you might have some readership credibility issues. Better to put her up against one of the targets Lisa suggested where she can have a good tough fight without tripping up the main thrust of where our main plot is heading.
> I didn't mean Lara would try to fight the New Lair Legion, or come anywhere near them. She's well aware that it's best if they're barely aware of her presence.
> I meant that she would probably make the New Lair Legion look like chimps when it comes to crime fighting. She has the right balance of power, discipline, and experience, and obviously doesn't have the issues with infighting or posturing. It could be obnoxious though if the press takes note of her success and embarrasses the New Lair Legion and Beth Zemo (though Chiaki would be amused).

As we've seen, the Baroness can be adept at "spinning" things. What if she were to publicly invite Lara to join the team? "We've seen the good Ms Night can do in a small way, but the time for the enthusiastic amateur is over. We're pleased to offer Lara a place amongst the Lair Legion, where her power and passion can be properly attended to."
