Again, your answers have been very brief and uninformative, and for that reason what you're implying is very difficult to discern. You said that Emi's family "will likely" be involved in their own megacorp, and then that Emi herself is influential, so hopefully you can understand the confusion there. Now that it's clarified, I want to offer a few reasons why this should not happen.

-"Emi's family", sans Emi, are player-controlled NPCs we've seen little of up to this point in the game. You were considering killing most of them in endgame less than a week ago on plurk, so I feel like your concept for their future is a little bit uncertain. Even if it was set in stone and their roles were well-defined and legitimately influential, player-controlled NPCs are too tenuous to run a big operation. If the character you apped is too young or green to run a corporation by your own judgment, then it shouldn't even be on the table.

-A leadership role is exactly what running a megacorporation would entail, both IC and OOC. If this isn't something that interests your character or is possible for them, then it's a step back rather than forward in terms of persuasive arguments.

-All of this aside, when I use the word "respect" it goes far beyond tone or the way things are stated. Please talk to players about this kind of thing, as it's clear that the bead you've got drawn on some of Emi's CR isn't what you thought it was.
