How much locals will be willing to use their services depends entirely on Reputation. As of writing this, lower class citizens believe the Augmented truly have their best interests in mind; many impoverished citizens, too, will hesitantly accept their services, but some will believe the Augmented to be too volatile to trust. As Reputation changes, so too will business!
</li>
<li>
Patho-Gen would prefer to keep tabs on law, so they would generally prefer that he operate somewhere they can oversee his work. Private practices in Karteria are often very specialty and contingent on the possession of wealth... And as the leader in medicine, they hope to keep vigil over what he does. Besides, Law's work is fascinating!

If Patho-Gen finds reason to trust Augmented Ones in general, they may be more willing to let him be free. For now, they are not keen on the idea. Most all doctors work through Patho-Gen, and so long as he works closely with Patho-Gen, their doctors will attempt to keep him supplied as well. (He can totally work in a separate space, but they expect some protocol to be upheld! Reports! Karteria LOVES bureaucracy and paperwork!!!)
