Molly's Millions

Product Information

Batman comes to St. Molly's in his Matches guise, meets Carl, and tries to talk Molly in to work during the Darkseid crisis. Molly is described as a lean, athletic, attractive, tall woman with pale skin. Her body is spare, neat, and muscular like a dancer's. Her hair is dark, cut in a "rough shag"; in "Mona Lisa Overdrive," her hair is short enough for her to be mistaken for a man. The fingernails that house her retractable blades are implied to be fake, and are usually burgundy in color; on one occasion they were "mother of pearl" (in "Mona Lisa Overdrive").

Conversely, it's against Molly's moral code to reveal information about jobs she's been paid to do or people that she knows, and this, too, has resulted in issues with the 'locals'. The more threats or physical violence are offered as a way of extracting information the harder she digs in her heels, often making situations worse for herself unnecessarily. Molly then went to the Cheap Hotel to wait for him. while there, Linda Lee came to take his Hitachi computer, and left nervously. When Case finally came, he found her sitting at the far end of the capsule, knees up, aiming him with a flechette pistol. She told him to close the hatch, and apparently she knew that he had rent a gun from a waiter, which he had already returned. She asked why he pulled that scene at the arcade.

Once they reached the Sprawl, they stayed in a loft. She had a bag with neatly folded clothing and small gadgets (a tiny German stove, infrascan perimeter, screamers) and since Case always looked at shurikens, she bought him one. There Armitage provided them equipment for their job, and she noticed how Case stared at the Cyberspace VII. Leaving behind the cast and the transdermal inducer, and a bit pale, they followed Armitage to Istanbul and met the Finn at Istanbul Hilton. With a gesture she understood they were here for Riviera. Next morning Armitage woke them up and met Terzibashjian whom Molly soon despised, specifically because of his turkish sexist views, threating him with her fletcher. That evening they went to the Spice Bazaar where she hid in the shadows near Ali's shop and waited for Riviera to exit. She framed him with a light beam; although he tried to escape with an illusion she shot him with a toxin-flechette, in the process amputating Terzi's finger. Later she cursed Terzi and scolded him for interfering. Molly's implants include a communications suite inside her skull. Including transdermal microphone in her throat, transmitter inside her left ear canal and wifi it replaces the need for her to carry a cell phone and allows her to speak subvocally when needed in addition to giving her access to the internet. This system is not designed for compatibility with Earth Prime's systems and has been patched to do so. In it's own way it provides protection alongside the largely dormant ICE protecting it as most systems have difficulty translating her IP into something local systems can understand. Molly Millions (also known as Sally Shears, Rose Kolodny, and others) is a recurring character in stories and novels written by William Gibson, particularly his Sprawl trilogy. She first appeared in " Johnny Mnemonic", to which she makes an oblique reference in Neuromancer (where she is mostly referred to as "Molly" with no last name given). She later appeared in Mona Lisa Overdrive under the name "Sally Shears".

An exception to her cold, somewhat cynical approach to life was her relationship with Johnny (of " Johnny Mnemonic"), for whom she still mourned at the time of Neuromancer. This is part of the personal history she relates to its protagonist, Case, in addition to the revelation that she worked as a "meat puppet" (a prostitute) in a "puppet parlor" (a brothel where people loan out their bodies while maintained in a blanked-out state) to pay for her considerable cybernetic enhancements. Though the moral of the story is quite unconventional in this day and age, it does raise the theme of charity (albeit the ones that begin at home), kindness and goodwill. At times you could tell that the author tried to strike a balance between these themes and those of greed but she was always careful to swing the proverbial pendulum to the good side, so much so that once a character behaved greedy or self seeking, the reader would definitely disapprove.A comedy that has more than a hint of fairy-tale fantasy about it”– Linda Gillard, author of Star Gazing
