Maddy, encouraged by ROSE and commended by local Korps personnel for her quick thinking on the highway, volunteers to keep fighting off the TPA in Austin - and realizes that actually, she enjoys this, a lot...?
Thanks to @/korpspropaganda as always for the Korps setting, and to @syntax-takes, @vixiemoondew, @lexithecow, @mabelgreysmoke, @runafjord and @Naeir for their support and feedback!
(Also, go read Runa's Crystallization, and the first chapter of the sequel Shear Force, to which Reach Out is a tie-in!)
