"I've actually been wondering about that too," Natasha admits with a curl of her lips into a lop-sided sort of smile that isn't quite a smirk. She likes with interest at the folders that Micah has.

"Back home we had some experiences with a wormhole, and when my friend came back through he was free falling the several hundred feet to the ground. Luckily the wormhole wasn't in space on our side." Her experiences might not have been extensive, but with what she's learned about wormholes here, too, it doesn't seem to be normal no matter what rules you apply to it.

She's interested to see what data Micah has, though hardly for the first or last time, she almost wishes she had Tony here. Tony would be terrible here, but she does wish she had his genius. But Micah's here, even if Nat would honestly have preferred to see them on the Barrayar side.
