Summary
There is, however, a slight complication: Harrow is compromised. If she were to dial back the repression and do a little soul-searching, she might even say that she’s in love. She’s in love with Gideon Nav and it’s the sort of love that’s like a shot to the heart, like the burst of adrenaline needed to lift a car from the curb, like the bright shock of coffee spilled over her hand; it’s the sort of love that drives a person to the ends of the earth, or else- barring the need for anything a little more drastic- the Wendy’s down the street at two in the morning.

Summary
Satya Vaswani didn't know what to expect when she reached out to Overwatch, accepted their offer of extraction from Vishkar, left the world she knew behind, and became the first passenger on a global covert recruitment mission.
She didn't expect the immediate kindness shown to her by the cheerful pilot that welcomed her aboard.
She didn't expect the second passenger to be none other than Vishkar's most wanted troublemaker and her own hated enemy.
And she certainly didn't expect nightly visits from a mysterious hacker with a strangely incongruous agenda.Nor did she expect any of what happened next.
