( angela does smile a little though being brought back here still bothered her. if it had been by choice perhaps there could be more that she said or did about it, though likely she'd have argued the sentiment. instead, it was just by accident -- a failure )

Perhaps. Though there's more to it.

( she has yet to mention this in entirety to jack, having found genji on arrival before jack, but she'd tell him too. she'd made that promise )

I wasn't brought back because they needed me here. ( especially not when the troops would have needed her more. no one had been on base to require attention ) There was a problem with my implant. It's stabilised now but it could happen to anyone.
