   Summary

   Stratt gets through the launch. Time expands again and the weight of the choices she has been forced to make hits her like a mac truck. She forces herself to move onto the next phase of the mission while eagerly awaiting the moment the tables turn and someone realizes she ought to be in jail cell.

   The universe (and Grace and Carl) have other plans for her however, and she's handed a far more challenging task then laying still for a lethal injection.

   She was prepared to be the whipping boy if it would save the planet. Unfortunately for her there is no end to what a living world will demand of you. Instead of being handed a death sentence she is handed more responsibility by the one person who ought to know better than to trust her with anything. It just might be what saves her.

   OR

   get in losers we're gonna beat up stratt a little (because we love her) and then we're gonna throw a 6th grader at her for sport.
