She felt a cold shudder down her spine and if she felt discomfort before she felt afraid now. Could she even do this with him? What if he did something to her or just left her to fend for herself during the mission. She was glad he just left and she sat there for quite some time just trying to calm down. When she felt ready, she grabbed her stuff and returned to her apartment.
Despite knowing the risk of annoying him, she made tea to calm her nerves while changing into her flight and combat gear. This time she did take more than just the handgun, deciding she wanted to be ready to fight the guards and potentially Gabriel. She hid a knife that gave her at least some confidence in not being helpless.
Eventually she felt collected enough to return to her ship. This was really not the kind of emotions you should feel maneuvering any vehicle, certainly not a spaceship. And definitely not one you planned to assault what was quite possibly a fortress.
She did it anyways. Staying quiet she got into her ship, beginning pre flight checks and running inventory to be certain the ship wouldn't run out of shield, ammo or the stealth cloak.
— I'm ready.
She said, short, and trying to hide her emotions by what she felt was a professional tone. Though nothing she could say would ever sound as cold as Gabriel.
