Summary
God – John – Dad? – passes her a tiny badge, glittering golden under the Mithraeum’s fluorescent sterility. “There’s a squadron of Cohort soldiers at your co-command, First Lieutenant, if you’re interested. A good, engaging problem for you to sink your teeth into, and you’d be doing the system a favor. Win-win.”
For about fourteen years of her former existence, Kiriona would’ve stone-cold killed just about anyone she knew for an opportunity like this one. Now she isn’t sure if she feels much of anything about it, apart from a vague, muffled something that she has to consciously identify as curiosity.
“I mean, I guess I’ll do it,” she tells him. It’s not like she has anything better to do. And maybe it’ll get her away from – “Wait. You said co-command?”
Or, what the hell happened with Kiriona and Ianthe on Antioch.
