In The Peace War by Vernor Vinge:
She slipped Quiller's in place and turned on the oxygen feed. She recognized the smell that still hung in her helmet: The tracer stench that tagged their landing fuel.
That smell from the tracer was inside the helmet? Why he says “the smell that still hung on her helmet”? The smell was there since when? The smell got to the helmet after she turned on the oxygen feed?
