One of the most difficult questions I ever had to answer when I was a child was a rather simple one: what do you want to do when you grow up? The problem I had wasn’t that I didn’t have an answer, but rather I had answers that were considered radical or virtually impossible. For example, I had the same aspirations of becoming an astronaut like a lot of kids. Following the list as the answer changed over time, it came to include things like musician, artist, and engineer.

When I heard her screaming for help, I knew I was out of time. No time to get any help or find any more useful weapons. The concept of backup is a joke in this business, so there was no sense in trying to call in the cavalry. Out here, you were all the backup that you were going to get nine times out of ten, so there was never any point in assuming that you'd have any help along for the assignment, especially this time of year. It was a funny way of doing things, sure, but a method borne from necessity rather than practicality, since there were never enough of us former-mortals-turned-guardian-angel types working for the agency.
