Though maybe not - she might have considered Anna, and either was told or thought that Anna, having more human-like emotions, would be more easily scared than Tandi. But then there's the cause of it all...so it may have been a practical joke after all.

True, most likely Anna would just follow quietly and try not to get too involved, unless she's asked a question directly or can supply some useful information.
Then she would have blasted the bin into a puddle of melted metal and bits of burning paper. Jury's still out on whether that would have helped or made things worse.
> The actual real-world reason is that I started writing this story before Anna was introduced and developed anyway.

Must be an old story, then. Also explains why Liu Xi isn't around even though now she's on the Paradopolis U campus.

At least she could keep the flying objects away, and keep up with CSFB!'s banter.
