The answer, of course, to Akiko's question was she hadn't.  Ishi had already correctly surmised the real reason for her 'choice' of indenture rather than virtual prison - someone that had more than cursory ties to the Gatecrasher community had realized just who they had on their hands, and had decided that rather than let her sit in a prison, she would be turned into an asset for the company.  The truth was, this was population of the entire program - captured egos that this insane corporation had decided to turn into assets through fake verifications of agreement to indenture - Akiko included.<br/><br/>Back in the room, Ishi flopped back onto the bed.  Great.  Well, at least she had some new venom to spew at Akiko when she came by in the morning.  There had been lessons mentioned...maybe if Ishi took a few and paid attention, she would be able to learn more about her situation...
