 [alxd] This would nicely introduce the _need_ for Spaces and dissent in education, nicely highlighting the Inventor role of Suz. Respective characters could give her advice, showcasing their personalities and attitudes.
+### Financial situation
+**Status**: Volume 2? Maybe?
+Suzanne isn't a perfect person. Her parents have sent her to study in a big city covering most of the costs, but she's not sure they really believe in her. They'd rather see her study psychology or something more suiting a girl - and with less manual demands.
+After taking the gap year at the University she didn't tell them, still insisting she's working on her thesis - and it just takes more time? Is she right to be afraid to come clean?
+Soon an angel investor learns about Suzanne's project (maybe through Greg) and suggests creating a startup / buying rights to market the interface. This would probably mean financial independence for her, but what about the licenses? Market doesn't like open source and she'd have to rewrite everything into proprietary software, ignoring a lot of effort many people put in the libraries. Will she follow her ideals or decide to get independence first?
+Someone from the Space may also point out that her project is pretty useless without hardware being available on the market. Maybe she'll be able to help a lot of people by selling it - and then making some small opening for hackers who would like to tweak it further?
