(From what I understand, the chip interfaces with my biology while ensuring that my mind is permanently connected to it.) [So ... to speak. There's a hint of uncertainty to these words, one that's almost foreign to Lexa normally. That shows why she's unable to push herself in this arena.] (It was the same for the past Commanders, and if anyone here had the correct physiology following my death, they would be able to interface with them, as well as me.) [Another hint through the link: no one has that physiology. One of her aims back in Concordia had been to determine whether they could upgrade the Flame so that it wouldn't require the black blood, but Angel and Sam had been lost before it could be accomplished.
It's a foregone conclusion that it will never be accomplished, though she does want to ensure that the Flame can be removed if she does pass.]
(Cathaway told me once that she does have images of how we merge with the symbiote. The set up at the Station tells me that there must be some means to accomplish what we need to do within the Nest, but it may simply not be here. ) [But that only answers half of it. Neither of them know how to read the data. Having the proper machinery is only half the challenge. Or a fourth of it, as they'd need to get a Second's DNA ...]
