Iman thrusts out a hand, holding it up as if to cover Rush's face from her periphery; she doesn't bother looking at him when she says, "Shut up. If time is of the essence then you should stop fucking wasting it."
To Daine she says, "Good, that's good. I think it'll probably work better if we just stick together and bull rush them. Pun intended." This is exactly the time for dark levity. She hesitates, then her eyes go a little wider. "Wait. WAIT. You were the Buffalo Incident?!"
Even for as brief a time as she and Rush actually worked for ROMAC, it was impossible not to pick up some of the watercooler chatter from its actual devotees, and the 'Buffalo Incident' was definitely a beloved anecdote. She'd always assumed the story had been exaggerated by time and boredom, but now, looking at Daine, hearing her talk in this beautifully pragmatic, ruthless manner, she doubts that.
