Cho nods her head slowly. She's in the process of talking herself into it, once again. It's not easy. The things that she knows are up there, they terrify her. Still, she won't get any real answers just standing around wondering. She needs data, as many points of it as possible, and for that, she needs specimens. "I think I have to. I didn't get enough, last time. I was... distracted." Cole is very distracting. Even now, when he's not standing beside her stripping away all of her mental defenses and polite civilities, he's distracting. The memory of him is distracting.

"And you? Are you waiting to... hear something? Or see something? Are you waiting for a friend?" Is that what he means by being here in case anything unfriendly shows up? That he's going to protect someone else who's on their way?
