[The experience is precisely what she had been seeking. Lexa is hardly an unintelligent person, but there is still a great deal here that she is beginning to grasp. Understanding the underlying cause of the conflict here does not come easily to her, so she has hoped that she could provide something that could appease things. People fearing what must be inevitable will be difficult, but Carata's words at least offer her the depth and understanding that she has been seeking.

It will also offer her direction. Even the matter of questioning people would be difficult given her current position (one that she's building upon).]

Very little is straight forward in my experience. [She doesn't seem too bothered by it. Yes, it's disappointing, but she knows better than to act rashly. Besides, the other Hosts might have information on how to apply what she has within her just the same.] And you have been here longer, gathering information. We're all indebted to your knowledge.

[If it seems like gratitude, it's because it is. She sees Nirad and Carata as scouts sent ahead before a full operation could commence. She's fairly certain she's not wrong.]
