Tracks of land?

I like how Maxima is continuously amused by Sydney's antics. I'm betting this is the most fun she's ever had working with ARC.

Boots?

She could just form her shield with a lot of lead inside it. As the density of ocean water is very consistent no matter what depth you are at, slight alterations of her shield's size would allow her to maintain neutral buoyancy at any depth. Extra bonus that she is already a SCUBA diver, so she has familiarity with underwater operations including minor pressure changes. The only question would be the related to the one she raised in #247. If the reason she doesn't pop when increasing the air-tight shield is because the shield increases by instantly creating a new, larger shield, then increasing it underwater wouldn't work as it would just take in an equal volume of water.

She could go underwater, and hold her position with the flight orb, but as soon as she let go of it to us the lighthook, she'd start floating up immediately. There'd need to be some anchor system to keep her in place.

That's some inferiority complex she's gettin'

While construction like this is certainly helped by supers, Sydney's greatest civilian work would be undersea construction. She has a (so far as we know) impervious shield, power to control her location in 3 dimensions, and a manipulator that works outside her shield. Give her some some oxygen tanks and a carbon dioxide scrubber and she could work at ocean depths unreachable by anything other than a bathysphere for hours without exhaustion, decompression, or other normal diver worries. Granted, she'd need to be very focused as dropping her shield for even a millisecond would result in her being instantly crushed by hundreds of pounds of water pressure.
