No final de Star Trek: Discovery 2x11 ("Infinito Perpétuo"), fica claro que

Gabrielle Burnham herself, not just her "red angel" suit,

está de alguma forma ligada ao tempo em que ela opera. (Por que esse deveria ser o caso me escapa completamente, mas esse não é o tópico desta pergunta.)

Como conseqüência, espera-se que

she will be pulled back to said time of origin along with her suit as soon as the forcefield is lowered.

Antes que isso aconteça, há tempo suficiente para ela entrar no processo novamente

(as we saw her do rather quickly and spontaneously earlier in the same episode, in a flashback to the Klingon attack)

no entanto, ela não faz, e

the suit and her are sucked into the time vortex separately.

Por que diabos ela não vestia o traje?

Even if she doesn't end up in open space (as she did after her jump right after the Klingon attack), the time vortex appears to violently pull her in and there is nothing to suggest she would arrive any more smoothly on the other side. The suit's apparent capability to hover over the ground could save her life upon arrival.
