This is, of course, incredibly obvious and maybe even done to death
already, but I haven't been keeping up with my p-list reading.

How does Brock know that Frenesi is in the 90%, that she's not really in
it for real. He knows there is a possibiIity of turning her the first
time he sees her, even knows 'bout her fetish (201.16 'Then a man in a
uniform, with a big pistol, would have to make you come.') I get the
feeling he wouldn't waste ten seconds on DL, even though she sez she's
only in it to bust heads. 
He wouldn't make the same mistake human Hector made with Zoyd and waste
any time on him. Despite outward appearance and nonpolitical status, Z is
in it (his [extended] family) for real.
That Brock, he's a regular sorting machine.
