Beneath her the world spun slowly by at least from her perspective it looked when in fact it was now spinning at 460 meters per second ( 1,000 mph) which is it's normal sidereal period speed. Star Child was at this time a celestial body that could warp both terrestrial and solar magnetic fields to almost completely erase their control on herself.
So she turned counter rotational and punched it not even trying hide her energy signature as she hit 15,000 kph enjoying the ease of flight in a vacuum.
She was slowing before descending into the NORAD West Coast Defensive Zone.

[color=ff99ff]"Greetings Earth Station this is Code Drifter pinging transponder."[/color=ff99ff] says Jesse just before transmitting her special data used to recognize her as a valid aircraft.
"This is San Francisco air control Drifter, you are commanded to proceed to White Sands for Customs inspection. says a firm male voice that Jessie reads as someone of high command experience.
Curious she decides to obey the command as she has been outside the continental borders even though White Sands is a military base and therefore unable to technically do Customs inspections.
She follows directions from a woman with a slight southern drawl to land on number A-4 helicopter pad. There she sees a very stern but intelligent Airforce Major who when he speaks reveals himself to be the one who commanded her to land on this base.
"They said you'd follow orders an dam if you did just that.
I am Major Anthony Piers unified command attached and it is a pleasure to met you Lieutenant Winchester" he says finishing with a toothy grin an offering his hand.
Jesse takes the offered hand an shakes it as she taps her helmet screen up revealing her face from behind the gold sun shield.
"Hello Major Piers may I ask is this an inspection or an arrest. In either case I must disclose that I have on my person 4 Kilos of ferrous metal in the form of metal powder, spheres and a few blades. I have no foodstuff nor livestock or flora to declare.
I say this as preemptive to any misunderstanding that I am unaware of the seven teams placed at various points around us. I am also aware that they are armed with the Meta killer rounds.
I say this asking for clarity; Is this an Inspection or am I Detained?" said Drifter leaving out the detail that she dropped at least three magnetically marked half ounce spheres close to the sniper teams. Sure it was a long shot move on her part that if hostilities ensue she could blindly strike out and hit all the teams but it could eliminate a percentage an throw the rest into a panic.
"Dam Jessica you are a work of art. Hell I'd bet my kid's lunch money on your escaping if I tried." he answers with a chuckle.
He continued laughing till he realized he was the primary focus of her attention and it wasn't because he amused her.
"They said when tactically focused you were a match for the best man, company or regiment in any military; I can see they really do know you so no more BS.
You are going to be 18 in three days and able to agree to an enter into any legal contract as an adult and we'd like to hire you as a special contractor for extra atmospheric transport of various payloads primarily and as assist and recovery of Orbital satellite, stranded or lost personnel and Energy research.
While I love the fact that you are the best military operator in your generation I'd see it as a waste of talent; I got Grunts for that. No I need that flight power of yours.
So here are some data chips and a reader, they have the contracts and as much information as we could manage on quick notice.
Well inspection's over here's your paperwork to show you've passed scrutiny and if it helps you won't have to go through any other inspections for border crossings in about 92% of the world's countries if you become a special contractor." he says in a actual friendly tone as he hands her an odd hardshell piece of luggage the size of a man's shaving kit.

Jesse lands at the base and doesn't do more than inform the guard commander that she has returned and after a shower plans to remain in her room.
Then true to her word she has a lingering shower then meditates floating in the center of her room
