Susan Suzuki, aka Suze the Secretary, was an old woman who took charge of a cryo-cooperative group on Kibou-daini when the small cryo-corp that she had worked for was taken over and dismantled by one of the larger cryo-corporations. Her group functioned as a charity, providing cryo-preservation services for indigent people who lacked cryo-insurance. A dangerous woman to cross, she gave real meaning to the saying "Don't mess with the secretary."
