Julia's arrival was the result of Pete Starling's conniving behind her back, and her behavior afterwards was a side-effect of his death.Starling also seemed to be very much a power-behind-the-throne in the administration, so he might have had enough pull to round up a "spare" X-37 and have it positioned at Wallop's Island (the nearest launch facility to DC) in the immediate run-up to the Hard Rain without JBF knowing/noticing.
