Is Lara suborning the Paranet?

(1/2) > >>

SerScot:
We haven’t seen Lara since Turn Coat.  In Cold Days Thomas mentions she is using tje the Paranet to organize and is going for “control”.  Has Lara taken control of the Paranet?

Snark Knight:
Overtly ruling them would be contrary to the white court's value placed on manipulation. But the paranet are pretty dependent on WC muscle against the Fomor - that probably buys a lot of influence, besides the problem Harry noted that every time they call in help, Lara learns a little more about the paranet's organization.

Mr. Death:
She's probably using it mainly for informational and positioning purposes, which is her style.

Keep tabs on what people are talking about and where they are; what problems they've got; then work to solve them, so that people start to depend on you and, eventually, start to owe you.

peregrine:
I'm sure she'd love to, but whether or not it's happened yet, who knows?  She might be taking it slow and easy, and subtly.

Plus, right now, it doesn't seem like there's much benefit in being in control.  The Paranet as such isn't a huge threat, so their main value lies in the information they have and can get, and there's no need to control it to get that, just being in the loop is fine.  Unless they've already gone compartmentalized.  In which case being the one at the top of the pyramid would help a ton.

Ananda:
If I remember correctly, the paranet was organised via the internet. You don’t have to personally compromise anyone to know all, but rather hire IT expert or three to track and analyse everything. And, if they want to be riskier, they can use malware so they know everything and, at a critical moment, could take over the network.
