[ She nods. Not much apparent emotion in it; it isn't to say she's not displeased by the shock implant, but she's not a stranger to such violations, and this one is at least a bit less intrusive than an IV in her arm. ]
The first person I saw - remember seeing, at least - made a bit of noise about my age, but they didn't seem inclined to let that stop them, either.
[ Something about how they couldn't let a young lady be adrift in a dangerous world like this one, how she'd be properly supervised in Jorgmund's care. "Proper" supervision, however, apparently didn't extend to leaving her back at the safehouse.
It felt a bit too much like listening to the negotiations at the trade conference, when the foreign leaders had been giving some lip service to how concerning it was that Crossbell wasn't up to the challenge of national security, as if everyone in the room wasn't completely aware that it was entirely because of limitations those very nations had imposed. A display to make the appearance of doing this for your own good, really, without actually being committed to anything of the sort.
Tio's seen plenty of the fake sort of concern in her life, and plenty of the real kind. It's not difficult in the least to tell the two apart, even before factoring in the bit where they dumped her straight on the transport with a few other ill-prepared conscripts and a crate full of firearms.
