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

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

 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?
