330 A gift of good faith

In just the few moments that I knew her, Selene already left a vivid impression. Her energy, although chaotic, couldn't be denied. 

And yet, from the moment we all stepped into the hangar, her demeanor changed. 

At first, the change was subtle. A shift from confusion to curiosity. And then to focus and seriousness when she finally laid her eyes upon the details that surrounded her. 

Obviously, without my approval, she could not see the gate. To a degree, she appeared to be blind to the people moving in or out of the gate. But she could perfectly see all of the things and manpower amassed in just this simple hangar. She could see all of the men rushing around, wasting not a second of their time. 

A fear that could be accomplished only when the simple trooper truly believed in the campaign's cause. 

"Stop playing," Makary scolded me as we crossed halfway across the hangar. "Just reveal it to her already."
