"Medical consulting," Martha says, slightly sheepish. "It's one of the few things I'm good enough at to be worth the consult--and the agency occasionally needs a doctor who both doesn't blink or pass out at weird shite and who asks the right questions instead of the wrong ones. I'm picking up some alien and transdimensional anatomy knowledge, so that's something."

She adds, after a moment of thought, "Governments can be interesting when they're the parts you don't hear about on the news."
