Duely noted and altered

So the purpose as to why xtryder was exiled will be revealed later in chapter 2 along with a much planned out action sequence spanning some large amount of panels.

She is by no means a legend the other members of stardust are just surprised to see her because she sneaks around, she is now freelance but still uses the stardust access shafts to delve into the clockworks and their mineral stations to get money. (you'll see how she keeps a residency pass and the ability to re-enter the checkpoint later, i'm referring to the checkpoint where the grey jelly knight was checking in for the first time.) You'll also note she is able to be this sneaky because she's kept her old fatigues and as long as she keeps her distance not many people notice her.

To answer the question about the renewing of the card Yes, it was a bit of both those things, she was upset she had only made so much to renew the card and the machines are programmed to automatically use base funds to renew these cards that allow access into the city.

Like i noted in the edited space above I've decided to make a diary that xtryder keeps that will update the lore and I'll post it here when its further along.
Also sorry for the lack of action, I'm attempting to weave together different stories and have to introduce alot of characters so I've planned certain chapters in the future where their are actually large assaults on facilities and as the story comes along I plan to insert some form of space fairing vessel with blender.

Thanks for your input it goes leaps and bounds to allowing me to better my story and get someone elses view on it :D

That characters name is scorn and my goal was to show his one soft spot and how important his pet was to him it'll be important later trust me

much appreciated your fueling my fire, there is an update to chapter two coming this weekend
