It should be seen as convenient, but not for the reasons you think. My people entered that competition because we hoped to speak to Kun-Kun—and you. We know where we falter. [There's no reason cutting out the middle information. They were not behind the bombing, but they were there for a reason. Lexa's willingness to reach out and help Kun-Kun and his people looked like kindness, but it was too directed to be seen as anything else. She knows that people savor truths. In that, she intends to give just enough to make things continue as they are.]

We have the skills, talent, and drive to help the synthetics of this world prosper, but we don't have the insider connections that a budding organization like ours requires. [There is a hint in the link between her and Sam that she is struggling here: the terminology is something she is far from confident in. She overall feels good about her approach, but that aspect is difficult.]

There are too many who claim they want to change what is happening here, but messages online and protests aren't enough. Many of us are willing and able to move to secure things as they are meant to be. Before you doubt us, I want to be clear: we want to stop the anti-synthetic movement, and we require help. Someone more powerful than us. [There is a card that she hasn't wielded yet: the one where Exxtra said that Mind Life couldn't act. It would be petty to play it now, to throw it out there and taunt her with it, but she does intend to use it if pushed. Challenging them to be effective may be a direction they have no choice but to take.]
