The message sent back will digitially self-destruct after being read.
This is because there is always risk of these Starfallen heroes might leak the Society's true ethos to the public. Someone might not appreciate their unique position in society.
In her message back, Chaos Gate will emphasize that the most important part of her guild's emphasis is freedom from responsibility, and a lack of an obligation to use powers for others.
The Society's most important tenant is self-determination and that can look like a lot of things. There are a lot of paths someone can take that skirt around the expectations society has for metas. There is a place for Steph in the Society if she's pursuing her own self-interest instead of dedicating herself to protect a population that believes she owes them something.
That said, it's a bit of a conflict of interest if she joins the Society and is obviously superheroing with do-gooders in the Alliance. After all, they need to trust that she's not just playing big brother for the Alliance, don't they? The supervillains in the Society might resent an Alliance member that's there clearly spying on their every move.
(That doesn't mean that Steph can't do some good but Chaos Gate is sure making it sound like it needs to not be so obviously heroic.)
If she joins, she does need to be dedicated to the best interests in the reformation of the Society's villains and of course that means them being shown trust in their process of rehabilitation. So perhaps it wouldn't be best for her to be seen doing buddy-buddy hero stuff.
Still, the Society ultimately believes in the freedom of being a little selfish and throwing off at least some measure of the control people want to have on metas. She doesn't necessarily need to go on a crime spree to do that. As long as she presents the image of someone trying to reform from evil for the nosy, and as long as she doesn't actually really work for the Alliance's interests, there may be a place for her.
Sorry for the delay, winter KOed a few of us
