I've been wrong quite a few times, but I guess Tobi has quite a few elements to give her enough room for action.
She survived a BW immersion, implying ghoul-like respawn.
She's got some yet untested capabilities from The Vermin.
She should be able to understand and manipulate technology better than most, so she could repurpose or build machines she's trusted with.
I'm inclined to think the last element will be key in getting her out of the situation Nero is putting her into. If he wants to use her tech prowess, then he has to, in one way or another, trust tech into her hands.
OTOH, maybe Nero wants Tobi to reverse-engineer Magilante's tech and produce it locally? So, no repairs and less resources for Tobi.
Either way. What does he know about Rauel? I'm not surprised if some among the elite or high scholars are familiar with the investigation undergone over the portals; Held's story is one example, yet it implies interest, even if fringe or Taboo, in researching the origin of magic, the function of the temples/portals and the technomancers(?).
Moreover, Tobi's introduction leads to think *someone* (some org maybe) has harnessed the tech of the portals anyway.
Now, how much does Nero know? I don't think too much, buy that's another story.

I mean why say all that? Now even if you act like a decent bloke she'll still think you're a bastard.

We’ve been following an Isekai this entire time!

Stared into the abyss and found that the abyss was staring also into you, did you, Nero? I'm sure Tobi is glad to hear you didn't get so caught up in fighting monsters that you forgot to see to it that you didn't become a monster yourself, Mr. President.

Yeah, I like this guy the more he talks.
Tobi must be thinking "wtf why is the boss monologuing when there isn't boss music. when do I get to attack?"

Tobi is not impressed.
