When he collects his pen at Impsec, it has a message for him. It's Linya, voice only, she doesn't seem to like requiring the attention of two different senses for not-in-person communiques.

"Hi, Miles, it's me," says the message. "I'm fine, first of all, but thought you'd want to know whenever you got back rather than hearing it weeks later whenever it came up over breakfast if you're gone for months and I forget about it - anyway, somebody tried to get at me. Bylinkin stopped him before he'd managed to do more than pull my hair, he's been arrested, and I'm fine. As of this writing I'm on my way home. Hope your mission went well, I love you!"

The message is timestamped half an hour ago. She's probably still on her way home.
