She triggered. <ref name="I15">Interlude 15</ref>
Eventually, Sam joined the New York Protectorate.
Post-Leviathan[edit]
She traveled to Brockton Bay to help fight against the Slaughterhouse Nine. She was one of the participants in the battle against Crawler.<ref>Ursa and Assault led the way with Miss Militia, Prism, Battery and Triumph following, clearly aiming to flank Crawler and close the distance between them and Mannequin.
[...]
Prism and Battery went after Mannequin. - Excerpt from Prey 14.6</ref>

Her friendship with Triumph segued into a casual relationship, with their third date taking place in at their house. She was targeted accidentally by Skitter and Trickster when they went to intimidate the city's Mayor (Triumph is his son.)
