She had perhaps pushed her self beyond her physical limits but did so because of her family’s history of service and knowing how critical her ability might prove to the future of the ACE. But it was all about literal translation, communication was more than words perfectly audible or projected; there were customs and caste restrictions and all manner of entanglements that could break down the exchange of ideas...even start wars.
