"Research," she responds. Then, with a tilt of her head, she admits - "Well - I sort of have myself doing research, more precisely. I think they were a bit squeamish of telling me to go into any particular department, on account of my age and all that. So I decided what I could get the most use out of, and where I could do the most good."
Which is partially a lie. She could, perhaps, do a bit more good out on the battlefield, where her resilience could let her get at targets that others couldn't. But also, that seems like a quick path to a quick death - and everyone's trying to kill Corypheus; better to spend her time working on problems that aren't getting worked on yet.
"So - you're going, but your men are staying behind?" It's an interesting way of doing things, and one she doesn't disapprove of. Those in charge, she thinks, ought to be spending their time out on the front lines.
