      It just occurs to me that there's a murky world of political and criminal double-dealing there that would be right up her alley.

    More importantly, they can't hurt her so easily.


She's really suited for a big Bourne-style adventure.

Her advantage re the robots is severalfold. She can pass for a humanoid robot (cause her brain is, as I recall, shielded from scans), so she could be anything from an assassinbot to a sexbot. She's got considerably higher physical stats than most humanoid robots (although probably not the big industrial machines simply because size equates to force). She's for a skillset that is hard to replicate by software and experience that is impossible to duplicate except by getting it. She's got the chutzpah to go for it and do things that all but the most sophisticated human personality replicas would never dream of. And, although Yuki had been well publicised as a Legionnaire, I'm betting she can disguise her appearance simply by losing the distinctive pink hair colour.

      And since robots are now a multi-billion dollar industry from military to sexual applications, there are plenty of people out there willing to get nasty to get what legislation they want passed (on both sides of the argument).

    That's pretty much the case with anything that has a lot of political money behind it.


And therein lies the intrigue and danger.
