[It occurs to Lexa that this is precisely why the hackers had seen Mind Life as a noble cause, but without much progress. The hackers are useless in their own way, too afraid of saving their own skins to act on what is happening in this world. But this is another side of righteous nobility that she doesn't like. That doesn't mean that she doesn't understand it. Let it be clear that she knows—in the link between her and Sam, even if she says nothing, the face of a woman surfaces in her mind. The name that comes with it is Luna.
A true leader can see that some callousness is to be expected. A true leader understands what might come of it. And otherwise, someone has to be dedicated to their cause. She had saved Luna's life because she understood that she bowed down knowing that she could not be their people's commander, but she also shunned their ways.
Lexa's lips twist downward.]
This is not a matter of volunteering. You are blind if you think something hasn't changed here. We are working to get to the bottom of it, but it will be much easier with your knowledge and support. Who are you seeking to convince? People are too afraid to see beyond their survival at this moment, and putting a stop to the violence is the first step to what you want.
[As for a plan, she hates revealing all of her hand, but she understands the (rather frustrating) necessity of it.]
Our officers are currently looking into Ven and Saffit, and possibly more. Without violent intentions. [These are public figures.] We want to ask questions.
As for my other proposal, it is something that will show humanity that people can evolve even as technology. I'm the first Host of it. But we haven't yet replicated it so that all the people of this world can see its value. By bringing people and androids together as one thing in the end, I believe we can further your cause. But right now, this technology that my people are working on will only feed into the present fears. We need to work on diminishing them. If you think I'm lying, we can find a scanner to see the implant in my body. It fuses with my central nervous system. [Becca is present near the forefront of her mind, helping her with the terms, and has been since before this meeting.

They just need to remake the Flame first.]
