         3719  +    There's a storage yard in an industrial zone on the fringes of habitation,
         3720  +    as such industrial zones tend to be until they get swallowed up by growing
         3721  +    urbanization.  The yard involves a chain link fence with dilapidated
         3722  +    concertina wire atop the fence.  Dalton arranges for transport of not just
         3723  +    Alley but also the motorcycle to this storage yard, via truck.  When they
         3724  +    arrive, the gate opens itself to let the truck back in.  After a few
         3725  +    moments of Alley sitting in the back wondering what's happening, someone
         3726  +    finally comes out to talk to Dalton.  There's a greeting involving
         3727  +    handshakes and half hugs, and the back of the truck opens up.  Alley gets
         3728  +    the bike unstrapped in the back of the truck and rolls it out, possibly
         3729  +    with help if there's someone else in the back of the truck with her to
         3730  +    offer that help.

         3732  +    It turns out Dalton is on good, if somewhat distant, terms with a couple of
         3733  +    people at this Second Realm locale.  His influence here is mostly connected
         3734  +    to his closer acquaintance with someone who isn't at this temporary
         3735  +    autonomous zone, but is respected by the people at this temporary
         3736  +    autonomous zone.  The big question is whether the Smuggler analogue is at
         3737  +    this locale or the (currently absent) person Dalton actually interviewed
         3738  +    for his podcast.  In any case, there should have already been some talk
         3739  +    (probably not at the Temp Auto Zone location, of course) in which some hint
         3740  +    of what's going on with the prioritizer got across to the Second Realm
         3741  +    people, catching their interest.
         3742  +
         3743  +    They of course don't know all the details Alley knows, or even all of them
         3744  +    Dalton learned from Alley.  As such, they'll have to talk directly with
         3745  +    Alley to get some of the details of this stuff and start planning next
         3746  +    steps in the artificial intelligence prioritizer system liberation
         3747  +    operation.

  3718   3753   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.  Then again . . . how does she get a prescription from a doctor if she's on the run?
  3719   3754   
  3720   3755   Maybe Alley could just carry drugs for someone.  Again, this is pretty sketchy, and is probably not appropriate right now.
