Taking all that in to account, it's no surprise you'd want to step back to a smaller and less intense duty. [Amelia certainly enjoys her career in the navy, but even she knows eventually she'll want to retire, and a century is much longer than she expects to be serving.]

I myself have recently been on a sabbatical of sorts from my own work. [If you could call going on an interstellar mission on a hunt for a potentially legendary treasure a sabbatical. Her tone certainly makes it clear there's more to it than just a 'sabbatical'.]
