When she leaves here, when Mortanne does whatever it is she plans to do to stop their deaths and let them continue their lives, CT has to finish what she started. If she lets her guard down, if she lets herself get rusty by relaxing too much, then she may no longer be prepared to do what has to be done and CT can't let that happen.

"I know, right? I mean, we were a well-funded enough unit that our food supplies weren't the worst, but it still had nothing on real, fresh food." Not to mention in the last few months before coming here, she had to eat a lot more MREs than even just heavily processed, preserved supplies that almost passed for actual meals. "It'd been a while since I had to deal with cryo though. We only go under for FTL jumps in the first place and my squad were usually kept awake to keep training, even if the rest of the ship went under."
