We'll discuss possible ways I could bring you in here. Because I'll mention stuff that may be a bit of spoilers, I'll do it like this in just in case. However, I ain't going to lock up this thread from peering eyes.

There are a couple of ways we could fit your character into the narrative:
1) You are a descendent of the ancient colonial families that left the world your forefathers came from inorder to explore, settle and trade with the new frontier that was Recursion Travel.
2) You were a mercenary guard of the guild of Slime Farmers, which is an old industry that brought forth great prosperity and eventual decadence to the world mentioned.
3) You came from another Recursion as part of a crew so as to establish relations with infamous Recursion nicknamed as The Dark City.
4) You were a leader of whatever organisation that was created by the elites of The Dark City. It so happens that you found it to be too corrupted and sinister to your liking, and so you abandoned your position and changed your identity.

Some of these can be altered or mixed and matched. The main idea is to somehow make your character cross paths with the party in good time.

3) You came from another Recursion as part of a crew so as to establish relations with infamous Recursion nicknamed as The Dark City.
4) You were a leader of whatever organisation The requisition that was created by the elites of The Dark City. It so happens that you found it to be too corrupted and sinister to your liking, and so you abandoned your position and changed your identity.

The requisition is an organization that gathers and handles Cypers

Ok, so I'll say that you came from a recursion that possess knowledge of Translating and Cyphers. There are a few questions I have to make your backstory clearer.

1) Is this knowledge widespread where you came from, or kept only for certain important individuals? How was the attitude regarding the discovery that there are other worlds?

2) You are welcomed into the Recursion(after going through thorough checks), but afterwards your team find that establishing a base is not easy, as most of the land space is taken up in the city. Also, the valuable resources that are here are kept hidden and under control by powerful groups. How greedy was your team to look for such treasures of materials and technology? If so, how might they attempt to do so?

3) For The Requistion, is there a public face for it? If so, how do they keep their image of being decent, or inconspicuous? If they are an underground group, what are they known for? Do they actively clash with other organisations, or do they try their best to avoid trouble?

1) In my home knowledge about Translating and Cyphers is known, but not something that is available to the public or requires special skills and equipment. Something between skydiving and deep ocean exploration here on earth. We know of it, but few of us have the skills and resources to accurately do it. 2) Sam is a part of a group of specialists that caters to the rich and shameless. This time their client, insisted on being part of the expedition. They went from Requisition to Safari guides. Several members of the team were not happy with that - Sam included. With the client there, urging them on, Sam saw several lines crossed. The greed and violence, killing guards instead of sneaking around them for instance, were too much for Sam.

3) Jacques Qusteau (keeping with the deep diver theme) is their leader and public face. An adventure that mingles with the rich and shameless, and brings Cyphers back to them. There are other groups back home, and perhaps it is the preasure of these groups that have pushed The Requisition over the line(s)

The Requisition have developed a bit of infamy in the Recursion they are targeting. Jacques circumvented the lax red tape regarding the business that they are doing locally, and in turn, they are allowed to freely translate back and forth as long as a little tip is given to the Translating Officers.

This leads to The Requisition having to operate more or less in the fridges of the Dark City, where the police are slow to arrive and the companies have a moderate level of security. The most common targets are the Slime Farms, where the security is more for dealing with monstrous invaders than professional bandits. Having to kill labourers and engineers have made a couple of the Requisition members uncomfortable. The reason for doing so is because it is faster and easier to disable security if they target working personnel first. However, the benefits of acquiring caches of valuable Slime Crystals, energy cells, weapon parts, and even the occasional Cyphers have made the bloodshed felt almost worth it.

In time, news of raidings have made these Farms beef up their security, causing even a simple technician a threat to deal with. However, home base does not accept excuses that operations are growing harder, and in time the costs for raiding is slowly exceeding the profits.

How might Sam feel about this, and what might he/she do?

Indeed, there were possible alternatives to attacking the Slime Farms. However, those alternatives are probably museums and storages of Cyphers, of which are well guarded, and with defensive systems that are rumoured to be powered by Cyphers that creates esoteric traps that are impossible to predict. Such highly valuable objects are both dangerous to keep, and requires great resources to lock up from opportunists. Not to mention the probable 'Re-requisition" teams employed by such organisations to brutally and efficiently hunt down said opportunists.

The others are the lesser criminal organisations, but they are also a pain to deal with, as there will tend to have a small army of well armed henchmen and guards to handle attacks if detected. Ofcourse, there were a few attempts against such sites, but the missions start to shift to the Farms as there are lots of them and not all of them have tight security. Also, the locations of caches of riches is more obvious in the Sliming Facilities then in the densely populated streets of the Dark City.

Jacques Qusteau have also seem to change as each mission passes. At first, he seems like a cocky douchebag that brags about how wealthy they are going to be, but he have grown into a humourless psychopath that is no longer bothered by unneeded deaths, either from his team or from innocent bystanders. Despite that, most of the members are afraid of leaving, because either they have shared his sense of violent desperation, or that they fear any attempts to leave will be met with a bullet to the head for betrayal.

Sam does not wish to remain around to see how much further it worsens. And the middle of the firefight is the best time to sneak off. Whether or not they knew she actually escaped is not known, as they don't seem to be making an attempt to look for her.

He used to be a trusted colleague and superior. One she trusted, but he changed along with JQ (Jacques Qusteau). Even if he changed into some terriable, she could not bring her selv to shoot him. Besides JQ is the source of the coruption, not her team leader. It not right

What to do now? JQ would call her a deserter. She changed her name and did her very best to reinvent her self. Once she gets herself settled, she would bring her grevances directly to JQ, perhaps with a bullet if he can't be resoned with. But untill then she needs to live. Finding a job and a place to stay would be top prioty.

What do you me with "basis on intellect"?

For some reason, she likes the name "Amanda Tapping"

WOW major effect on housing. My guess is that she found a mid-to-high-end place, not a penthouse, but definitely a nice place with good security. Perhaps she got a security job that the apartment was just an extra bonus?

She was able to find herself with considerable luck. Indeed, the place was rarely open to outsiders, but perhaps management is getting desperate for new security. The place is one of the fancier glass buildings near the centre of town. The nature of it is not very clear, but it have offices and living spaces. Nouen-Penti is the name over the entrance, and judging from the dress of the security guards, this place might have treasures or secrets that the Requisition might have been considered to have as a target, if it weren't for being too close to the central districts.

Your position is ofcourse low for a new employee, but after your display over the use of guns, you are entrusted with being armed with what you are used to. You do see what might be energy weapons in the arsenal, but you are not given them. Your patrol area is with the lobby and the lower offices. Your living quarters is fairly generous, or perhaps it is just standard for the security staff. Your bed room is sizeable, connecting to a central lounge for the guards. Housecleaning is done by the janitors. There is a fast running computer, a television and a closet with the same security as the entrance of the room. You don't know how exactly it works, but they unlock when you stand in front of it and have the clear thought to open it.

In that case, she better get into something more business-like attire

While on your first month on the job, you notice one of the junior office staff rushing through the ground floor lobby before heading into a lift. The thing that caught your attention is that a slip of paper fell out of the folder in his arms while he was running. It seems that no one saw that, as the current hour have not much people passing through. There are two clerks at the front desk, and one other guard on the other side of the lobby.

While she waits for the next lift, she checks the paper. She knows that the business of her company is to provide the service of installing security to client's assets in the form of guards-for-hire, electronic sensors and lock-down measures.

The slip of paper seems to be a receipt in the language of the company's founder.

Normally, documents is in the common tongue that you also can understand, so this invoice is odd. Also, you know that the clerk that dropped this is in big trouble if he is found to have carelessly lost it. The full actual consequence, you're not too sure. In time, the lift arrives, and you recall that he went to level 11...
