Arc

Off the floor entirely — her show is cancelled by the teleport ban and she appeals (ch. 19) — but the warning about Chris she tried to send (ch. 10) comes true when Maggie speaks through him (ch. 14), and Orren clears her as Carl's source (ch. 19). The epilogue puts her behind Lexis in Seattle: a sac pirate killed and his partner, a null, framed for it, a null's warrant to be bought, a cat to Borant for the walk-on bounty, and Beatrice in a bounty cube: 'we have a much better use for her […] We can't all have happy endings' (epilogue).
