Needless to say, if Moriarty was out of the picture, she would retire from prostitution. She has learned that the best way to survive is to keep her nose out of other people's business, which means she never publicly works counter to Moriarty's interests. Nova also has a chem habit, as Moriarty is displeased of her consuming Jet. Moriarty does not even trust her with her earnings, taking them and locking them up for himself. This is in no small part due to how Colin Moriarty treats her. She has lived in Megaton since around 2272, but has grown unenthusiastic during her stay. She has a day off, on which she goes shopping. Another part of her job is to sweet-talk the male patrons and get them to spend caps on booze, company, or just a bed for the night. Her standards are not exactly high, but she explicitly states that she does not serve ghouls.
Every now and then, she goes up to her room with a client.
She spends most of her time hanging around the bar talking to Gob, Moriarty, Jericho, and other customers.
