After graduating the academy in the spring of 2567, Mercy was assigned a position in [[Eridania Ossuccio]], a modest city home to six massive magneto-shield generator plants for terraforming. She embraced the move and soon found herself enjoying the slightly slower pace of life, though she worked more than enough cases (primarily smuggling related) to hone her skills.

	The biggest case Mercy worked, and the one that nearly killed her, involved the pursuit of a fleeing suspect all the way to Kronovostok in late 2570. Once there, for reasons Mercy never discovered, her detective partner Ewald Dreiser placed the muzzle of his pistol to her back and fired two shots. The bullets perforated her lung; she only survived thanks to a passing truck driver who spotted her body and redlined it to the hospital. Dreiser himself vanished and was never caught.

The years of the White Terror were not kind to anyone. Mercy, however, weathered them better than most due to the destruction of so many records of her existence.

	== Alhambra agent ==		== Alhambra agent ==
			Over time Mercy came to be known to the Alhambra network, a fully underground communist resistance group with pseudonymous leadership. She was brought in as a trusted hand with a valuable skillset under the codename 'Vega.' It was in this capacity that she made contact with Samara Steinbeck, a high-level fixer and daughter of Edward Steinbeck, one of Mercy's friends from before the war. She keeps Samara at arm's length — she is regarded by Alhambra as a fellow-traveller sort of contact, not a recruit to be brought into the circle — but their personal connection is not nothing.

			Alhambra assigned Mercy to travel to Arcadia for a rendezvous with 'Mr. Arkadin,' a Belter smuggler with a delivery for the resistance. His death and her subsequent investigation brought her into the path of Snake McCoy and the crew of his ship, the Medusa.

			== Beliefs and goals ==
			Mercy does not delude herself about the fall of the Martian Directorate. Their communist project has been soundly defeated and attempting to deny that fact will only lead to further disaster. Instead, Mercy understands that she has the responsibility of keeping the flame of communism alive for further generations. She is also quite conscious that with her set of skills she is most useful to the Martian resistance as a field agent.

	~~== Beliefs ==~~		* '''Brenda Holiday''' — 'mercenary' identity commonly used in the Nox
			* '''Ismat al-Laith''' ''—'' 'civilian' identity used to conduct her daily life, rent her apartment, etc.
			* '''Vega''' — Alhambra network codename
			* '''Lauren Platt of Lounging Cougar''' ''—'' founder of an entertainment startup for discerning clientele, used at the Black Astra
