about 6-9 years ago, devi lived on antillia and worked at a mob-owned casino as a card-shark and had to flee the planet after she got caught stealing from them. obviously that wasn't danika's aunts casino, but maybe devi knew her aunt/helped her out sometimes/hung around her for the culture and shady criminal connections? she could have been vaguely aware of danika and maybe could have helped her out when she showed up on terminus?
