Marten gets a job more suited to his interests, Tai makes it as an author, Claire starts at the SMIF Library and is soon levelled up to a rank 2 librarian, with an extra d8 hit points.
Scarlet Manuka:

Reminds me of Sergeant Taura (8 feet tall, genetically engineered super-soldier with fangs) in the Miles Vorkosigan books by Lois McMaster Bujold. There's a good bit in the novella Winterfair Gifts:
--- Quote ---"Mostly, I just loomed at people. If I had to, I smiled."
"But your smile's really kind of nice," he protested, and managed not to add the Once you get used to it out loud. He'd get the hang of this savoir faire thing yet.
"Oh, no. The other smile." She demonstrated, her lips wrinkling back, her jaw thrusting out. Roic had to admit, it was a much wider smile. And, um, sharper.

There's also the possibility she might be more qualified for MARTEN's position and bump him.
That'd be amusing. If evil.
Zebediah:
Claire is already more qualified than Marten for his job. Once she gets her MLS she’ll be overqualified for it.

So she'll probably be in a good place to get it, then. People being underemployed is common as muck, tbh, though not quite as annoying as being simultaneously over- and under- qualified.
