	In short order Sam had removed her DIN and was letting Tiger scan the port on the back of her hand. In the space of a few minutes he had a new DIN for her. In minutes Tiger had made a DIN that was orders of magnitude above what any Enclave Technomancer could. Then there was the comm laser he attached it to. Only a centimeter in diameter but it had more power than her old unit.		In short order Sam had removed her DIN and was letting Tiger scan the port on the back of her hand.

Apparently Claire was in a fight of some sort, very one-sided from the sound of it, and the APD had decided she didn't need to spend the night in jail. She just wasn't supposed to de-Fuse or leave the property without supervision for the next 30 hours.		Bobbie Maiuri was having a rough morning.
