The problem is that it makes her want to relax, accept the relative calm as standard, and she can't let herself do that. For all that she's in another goddamn universe, the messages that hit before the jump read exactly like the Company. She's playing their explanations over in her head as she punches one of the bags in the rec room. The bag starts swinging as she stops, and she settles one hand on it to still it; the other rakes over her head and the nape of her neck, damp with sweat.
