She had done what she could on her own. She had repurposed herself as a superhero, had managed and tracked information and served as a hacker for the PRT in exchange for funding. With that money, she had expanded her capabilities. She had built her first suits, researched, tested and created new technologies to sell to the PRT, and had quickly earned her place in the Guild.
Nice work!
So is this where we find out what the Guild actually is?
Hm. One more theory: Maybe it’s a team made specifically of Tinkers? Like a trade guild for those who can provide extraordinary products.
It hadn’t all been smooth sailing. Saint, the head of the group that would become known as the Dragonslayers, had somehow discovered what she was and had used her rules and limitations against her.
Ahhh, I see. Much like how she had to sacrifice herself for Skitter, Saint and the Dragonslayers presumably forced her into sacrificing herself for them – or something similar – in order to grab the parts of the broken agent vehicle.
A Black Hat Hacker, he had forced situations where she was obligated to scrub her data and restore a backup, had cut off signals between her agent systems and the satellites, and in the end, he had carted away three of her armored units on three separate occasions.
Ahh, or that. That’s pretty clever.
Dismantling the suits and reverse engineering the technology, he’d outfitted his band with special suits of their own.
Tinker himself, I’d imagine, since he’s able to do this.
