[ There’s less darkness in the video this time, revealing some grease and blood stains on Resnik and Ward’s faces, and more of the hallway behind them. ]
So you finally get it? We’re all connected.
[ She seems somewhat relieved, but there’s a tired flatness to her voice as she carries on. ]
That membrane Charles was referring to is a link between all of us: it’s been there since you boarded this ship. [ A glance at Ward accompanies the mention of ‘us.’ ] I know you blame us for not explaining. [ She sounds fairly resigned to that, as if she doesn’t expect to change their minds, but she does want to explain now that she can. ] We couldn’t. But it’s trying to cut you off because you’re gaining control over it. It’s because of you that we can explain now—hold onto that. You have the power to change things, just like it’s had the power to look into you.
[ Ward's expression is grim lines edged with weariness, a lingering caution that doesn't leave his eyes. There's a thin trail of dried blood drawing a line down the side of his neck. ]
This isn't what it wanted, and this won't be the last time it tries to stop you. [ A warning. More warning than Resnik had wanted, but he doesn't look to her as he continues. Resnik, on the other hand, sends a tight, sidelong glance his way. ] You know what it can do.
So you know why we can’t let a man like van Rijn get his hands on it.

You couldn't have killed me.

What are you? Were you like this - able to do what you did - before you came here?

[ That and trying to contact Smiley herself actually sort of frightens her. Even if part of her does light up in some way when she receives those messages. ]

My situation is like this because of him.

Smiley gave you the ability to tear a hole in the fabric of reality and just fuck off to wherever, whenever you please?
[ Which Darcy thinks sounds pretty cool, actually, but doesn't indicate as much in her expression or tone of voice. He's clearly not thrilled to have superpowers. ]
So are your... abilities and him being a shadow of his former self related occurrences?
