I know, in terms of Gears and her team, she is all for anything that keeps people from bothering her while she works.  So if CPI keeps the towns people from bothering her while she is going through their homes tracking down lines of essence, all the better for her.  If CPI allows her an easy workforce to help alter the city to permit flows of essence or restore structural integrity, all the better in her eyes.  Right now, she’s willing to work with the devil to make Heaven so to speak.
