On top of the list of things Sharon doesn't have time for might be a guy dressed like an extra from H.M.S. Pinafore.

She's setting up a ladder at the moment, painstakingly checking all of the accessible vents and ducts in each of the nineteen places where their friends had fallen. She intends to check the rest from the top down when she's done. Because sleep is for people who don't have lives to save.

The spreadsheet in her comm says that this is where they found Mystique and Erik Lehnsherr, so she's planting the 5ft ladder when Captain Ahab starts talking. The 'miss' makes her want to address herself as agent, but for once in her life she's too tired to be a pill.

"It's Carter. Sharon Carter. I'll explain while I work, OK? Hold this steady." She can manage without the spotter, but it's actually a lot easier when she doesn't have to pay attention to how far she's leaning.
