About
Keeps an escort crew ready while the scientists chase a model. Believes the fleet is underestimating operational uncertainty, and that the crisis is real but Sarah Bishop's model may still be too young. A sceptical peer from another ship.: receives a formation order whose clean human burn profile would exceed at least one allied hull or species acceleration limit; she rewrites the move as staggered burns and overlapping cover, spending her own task group's timing and interceptor margin so slower allies are not shed from the geometry.
Keeps an escort crew ready while the scientists chase a model. Believes the fleet is underestimating operational uncertainty, and that the crisis is real but Sarah Bishop's model may still be too young. A sceptical peer from another ship. Book 4 chapter 16: receives a formation order whose clean human burn profile would exceed at least one allied hull or species acceleration limit; she rewrites the move as staggered burns and overlapping cover, spending her own task group's timing and interceptor margin so slower allies are not shed from the geometry. Book 4 chapter 26: holds a failing approach while acting tactical and engineering leads work beyond their peacetime experience. She makes each of them state confidence and limits aloud, then chooses a slower hold that preserves the approach and respects the margins they actually report.
Family
Off-plot tell (The Defensible Route, chapters 7 and 28; The Last Manifest, chapter 40): asks whoever is beside her what was on at supper / at the change, and does not go and eat it. Usually immediately after she has hidden in procedure — her signature shelter.
