There are several ways to play this out. The next UT appearance for Lara (assuming the plot plays along as I currently think it will) should be informed by your comment here.

Noted.

Given the "destinies" of many of her friends she would need to be especially cautious.

That's probably the hardest thing about her power - trying to figure out when the best time to change things is. She can't go back and change previous events like the Hood can, so once she misses her window, then sometimes the inevitable is set into motion, and it's too late.

Quote:

A good example would be stopping a friend from going to a movie, because she foresees they will be hit by a bus. If she misses that window, and tries to put the bus somewhere else at the last second, then a taxi runs over the friend instead. And after that, a delivery truck. She can't stop all of those from happening, so if she misses stopping them from going to the movie, it's too late.

Quote:

That's certainly a useful clarification.

From what I understand, the Hood instead would wait until after the friend is run over, and then decide whether to retcon the production of the movie that friend just had to see so badly, so that friend wouldn't have a reason to be there at all. That way he can save the friend, and also punish some of those involved in the (now non-existent) death.

Faite can only do the same thing if she knows in advance the movie release will cause her friend's death, and she'd start interfering with the production and release schedule.

The most dangerous piece of office equipment is the laser printer. It kills you slowly by gradually breaking you down with ridiculous errors and "cleaning" cycles at the most inappropriate times.
