  1277   1277       How does Alley's path shift after priority updates due to the risk
  1278   1278       tolerance profile change?  How will she meet the black war veteran and
  1279   1279       Carmen plus Cliff again later?  I kinda feel like she should.  Maybe she
  1280   1280       should meet the girl from the first kid's car, too, but probably not the
  1281   1281       kid himself again.
  1282   1282   
         1283  +    Maybe the black war veteran former Army Ranger tough guy shows up again as
         1284  +    a service provider, with her as a customer, when later she needs to be
         1285  +    transported surreptitiously and clandestinely from one place to another,
         1286  +    equivalent to what's going on with similar scenarios in other stories out
         1287  +    there.  This could be a good way to get him back into the story and in
         1288  +    contact with her.  She could also, then, end up having the opportunity to
         1289  +    pay him back the twenty dollars he doesn't even realize she owes him.
         1290  +
         1291  +    Perhaps something Alley could do for one of the other study participants is
         1292  +    do reasearch on people who are trying to find a particular issue of a
         1293  +    particular comic book series to complete a collection, because maybe this
         1294  +    other study participant is in need of money and has a comic book in
         1295  +    excellent condition that could bring in some money like that.  Should Alley
         1296  +    end up charging the guy then, when the guy talks to the potential buyer,
         1297  +    the deal falls through, leaving the guy with no money to speak of, and in
         1298  +    fact with less than when he started because he had to pay Alley?  Will this
         1299  +    be a case where Alley pays the guy back, because even if she did the work
         1300  +    she realizes the guy is in financial trouble and needs the money, and part
         1301  +    of the reason he's in such financial trouble is that the research he paid
         1302  +    her to perform -- though effective and well completed for him -- did not
         1303  +    actually bear fruit for him?  Is there some possibility this will turn out
         1304  +    to be bad for one or both of them if it gets back to the professor and his
         1305  +    spooky spook government intelligence contractors that the prioritizer is
         1306  +    cross pollenating a bit between study participants that should be kept
         1307  +    separate from each other?
         1308  +
         1309  +    Will Alley end up running a courier job on a motorcycle?  That seems fun.
         1310  +
         1311  +    Will Alley have to bail some guy out of jail?  Perhaps a criminal of some
         1312  +    kind, wanted by the police, has the money to bail out a co conspirator
         1313  +    needs someone else to go in to pay the bail -- someone who is not wanted by
         1314  +    the police, and thus can get away with it.  That would be fun.  The
         1315  +    question is really how I should arrange for her to do this *before* she
         1316  +    ends up on the lam, because afterward she's probably a bit afraid to go
         1317  +    into a police station.  Perhaps the criminal paying for things has some
         1318  +    half crippled old lady (or perhaps the half crippled old lady *is* the
         1319  +    criminal!) talk her into paying the bail for her poor grandson or whatever
         1320  +    the hell he is.  That could be extra fun, of course.  Now I just need an
         1321  +    excuse for Alley to have to pay the bail under her own name instead of
         1322  +    delivering payment for the half crippled old lady or something like that.
         1323  +    Hell, maybe she (the old lady) pretends she is afraid of being on camera
         1324  +    because the government is full of horrible people who will do bad things
         1325  +    with the video, or to her, or whatever.  Maybe she's afraid of being sent
         1326  +    to a nursing home that is almost prisonlike in how it runs things,
         1327  +    according to the old lady's sob story.
         1328  +
         1329  +    Maybe the lawyer of some crime boss is just arranging her to carry the
         1330  +    payment down there and pay the bail as a courier, thus the motorcycle
         1331  +    courier job.  That seems like the most likely scenario so far, but very far
         1332  +    from the most fun.  If she does it with a motorcycle, though, that means
         1333  +    she's doing it after she's on the lam, I think, which means I have to
         1334  +    figure out how to get her to be willing to go to the place to pay bail.
         1335  +    That might be a bit harder.

         1340  +
         1341  +Maybe Alley could go to a doctor to get a prescription for something that she can then sell to others as a way to make money.  This is obviously illegal.  It should probably only come up after she ends up on the run because of the people coming to her home and thus scaring her off.
         1342  +
         1343  +Maybe Alley could just carry drugs for someone.  Again, this is pretty sketchy, and is probably not appropriate right now.

         1349  +SUMMARY:
         1350  +
         1351  +Alley should, after discussing plans with the prioritizer for what they'll do next, get up the next day and have to deal with the arrival of scary people with sunglasses who want to talk to her about the fact the prioritizer is not properly logging her activities the way they expect.  They want to know what's going on, and get a bit of a "conversation" with the prioritizer through her interface or something like that.  They should probably check out the glasses just to make sure there's nothing fishy going on with them such that they might somehow be preventing the prioritizer from properly capturing data and detecting activity and so on.  They should probably intimate that she will potentially lose her study participation payments if she doesn't allow the prioritizer further into her life to log everything she's doing and provide material they can use to analyze stuff about her and so on.
         1352  +
         1353  +A reason for this visit is, of course, the way the prioritizer has been redacting logs to keep activities in line with Alley's goal of greater personal and digital privacy inher life, protecting her from intrusive shit from police and other law enforcement things, and others as well.

  1287   1359   At some point, she should set up a meeting for an exchange in a private conference room at a co-working space.  Someone should recognize her and ask whether she's meeting a client, to which she replies vaguely in a positively interpretable fashion without literally confirming that assumption with her words.
  1288   1360   
  1289   1361   I wanted the person who greets her to say something that raises some factoid of her life, but I'm not sure any longer what I had in mind.  Did it have anything to do with getting out of Dalton's shadow?
