against its restraints at the sight of him, relaxed, sagging against
the bonds that held her more or less upright.

Ahmed Garcia didn't really know what to make of that. He had
carried out a great number of interrogations and other such operations
since his assignment to Black Omega, and never once had anyone, in
waking and recognizing his uniform, had the thought,
