Sterling posted the picture and then flopped down on the bed next to Marta. "You don't have to thank me, but I get it." Everyone here had their trauma. It was part of Nox's quirks -- he never saw someone he didn't want to help. She was included in that.
Sterling laid out all the little things she was doing with Ana. Which wasn't a lot yet. Mostly setting up socials and things like that. Ana wanted to make it young and hip and cool. Even though it was technically a homeless shelter, Second Chances was so much more, and Ana had great vision. Even though it was Nox's baby here in Moscow -- not that he actually did anywork -- at least none of the hard stuff. He found money. He found people. He had the connections -- more so than even Ana did. Sterling's job was to get the word out. Second Chances and the business that would flow from it would be big news by the time she was done. Maybe with a little help from the Wicked Truth and the Oracle, she grinned at Marta. "Ya know that computer stuff can come in handy."
