Q: Meeting Yin

Rafaela had compiled a list of questions and sent it off to both Brendan and his father, but neither one had replied before this meeting had started.

She felt like she was dressed for war, despite the fact that on the surface, her smart fabric suit was all that she was wearing.

Schmidt had created a masterpiece, although the old technician had disclaimed any of the credit for the design, and credited Bellamy with the idea. The underlayer she now wore was nearly as tough as the surface of a spaceship, and particularly resistant to the kinds of fields that could interfere with the smart fabric that covered it.

More 'fabric' had been added to the smart fabric too, but the suit the company had gifted her when she won had definitely proven its worth. No one had asked yet, but the new Queen would cheerfully promote it.
