All she can really do is glance over her shoulder at him, expression obscured by her goggles... It's probably somewhere between concern and exasperation.
They don't get second chances this time. They can't mess this up. That "miracle" is their last chance - her last chance to make up for what she'd done and lost before, and she doesn't want to lose him, either. She has the option now to speak frankly of this, if she wants to. But he's smart; he probably already knows. She doesn't need to make it complicated. Right?

We're not bringing it back to camp. Too risky. [ even if he doesn't want to leave it here!! ] If the information is that valuable, we'll have to find an alternative way of accessing it.
