Blood of Heroes (The Ember War Saga book 3)
“She replayed a pop ditty from her high school days in her head, waiting for the translation to end. It took hours for the gates between Bastion and the Crucible to deliver her from one place to the other. Timing the experience with remembered songs staved off boredom and panic.
Weight returned to her body and the sunken stadium of the Crucible’s control center came into view as the white field subsided. She floated to the ground, her armored boots scuffing along the floor as she regained her balance.
Stacey looked down at her arms, still covered in the battle armor from the day humanity took the star gate from the Xaros and she began her career as an ambassador to the alliance against the invaders.

Each time she left and returned to the Crucible, she ...was in her armor.MoreLess
