[She doesn't get a chance to finish her sentence before the jerk from the launch cuts her off. After that, it's far more important to hold on and not fall off than to talk as they gather speed and go flying through the air.
It's like flight and parachute training. The sensation of her stomach going into barrel rolls as she flings herself out of a plane, the feel of the machine itself rolling to one side as it avoids enemy fire, or the rush of jumping to reach a helicopter buzzing by for extraction. Her arms tighten just slightly and her mouth sets in a grim line, but otherwise she's fine and she lends her own weight to the swing as she gets used to the rhythm of it.]
