It might have been the adrenaline in her system - I don't know. It doesn't make her a bad Legionnaire - it makes her human. Not knowing that doesn't make you a bad Legionnaire either, because how the fuck are you supposed to know how her body works? She had experience and you trusted her, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Don't you ever take the blame for something that's not your fault, because this isn't. You knew this was going to be a shitshow and you went anyway, and hundreds more innocent Carggites are alive now because you were there to help them.
