[ There's just no point to Anderson in hiding what she can do. Judges are bogeymen, stories used to scare children into behaving in the Mega-Cities, except that those stories are real. They're authorized to do whatever they wish, just about, as long as it stands up to scrutiny later. With no one else on the scene, that's a lot of freedom. There's as many corrupt, self-serving Judges as there are altruistic ones, like Anderson, and citizens never know which one they're going to get.
One thing's the same, though: they're all capable of ruining your life. No, there's never been a point to her in hiding. Even her damn badge these days says Psi on it. She's happier being up front-- and happier without the flirting. She'd take this blunt shop talk any day. ]
Looking for partners or competition? [ she asks easily. She hasn't gotten a sense for how things work around here yet, and she absolutely wants to. ]
