1958.

She can't quite latch onto anything else he's saying, because she's stuck for a while on 1958.

Shit. This changes things. So she's in the past - a past, she seriously doubts this is either her world or the Rift's world - and she's trapped, just like she was before, but this time she didn't do it on purpose. The rift sent her away, or something stronger pulled her here. All the work she was doing is now gone, all for nothing. And she's lost everything she had on top of that. She's lost Greta. She's lost Rush.

She cannot show weakness. She swallows once.

"So only the best of the best, I'm assuming," she says. Eat or be eaten. It's 1958, and she needs to survive. "I'm a physicist and an engineer. Better than anyone you've ever met." Keep the alchemy on the down-low, for now at least. "You think this Andrew Ryan would find that worthy? Come to that, why am I asking your opinion? Who are you?"
