The checks and balances I usually specialize in are consequences.  Like Newton's law, every action has an opposite reaction.  Shema explained that, in her cryptic way, to Lara, how the consequences of raising her profile in the Parodyverse might play out.
> Here's why some checks and balances probably come in. If, as has been intimated, the "maintanance" functions of the PV are back online, Celestian energy is being carefully tracked by the Celestians and the Triumverate are back on the job. Threats like Lara might end up being politely having their passports revoked (or, if it' the Space Robots, just summarily deleted).

That depends on a lot of things, I guess.  Lara doesn't play with powerful sources of energy for her own entertainment (if she does play with energy at all it would be ambient energy from around her) so if she does try to crack the Celestian energy she'd have good reason for it.  She would hope the Celestians are intelligent enough to understand what she's doing, or at least ask, but if they fight her without warning when she's trying to protect someone she'd probably put up some resistance.
The Triumverate, however, is definitely intelligent enough to ask questions and maybe understand.  Unless they get to the point where they're blinded by their own power and arrogance it's unlikely they'll summarily banish Lara from the Parodyverse.  If they started behaving like that it's probably a sign that the Lar Legion will be clashing with them soon anyhow.
In other words I guess it's fortunate that Lara makes an effort to cooperate and keep a low profile at least.  Her actions so far speak better than anyone can on her behalf.
