By the time he sent the file, she knew what he had been working on, perhaps as well as he did, and the progress he’d made since their last discussion.

This reminds me of Dragon’s immediate reactions when Armsmaster brought up the early warning system back in Interlude 7.

Mass production for his combat analysis program, and the more problematic project of finding a way to gather and then disseminate the data.

The same program that helped him against Leviathan? Sounds reasonable. I guess he managed to find a way to stay too useful to get rid of entirely.

She knew he would expect her to take time to read over it.  Instead, she used that time to check it for traps.  He would find it insulting if he was aware what she was doing, but it was her primary duty, here.

Ahh, yeah, good call. If you’re gonna work with a guy who might be thrown in prison afterwards, better make sure he’s not trying to do something rash to get out of it.

She would search every note, every formula, and discern whether he had hidden something in there that he might use to break out or do harm to others.

Yeah, that.
