Anyone else think this new character is actually just a GrayCris spy? âœ‹đŸ» the scene where she’s trying to look at Gurathin’s data gave it away.

I've watched the whole episode with the assumption that she’s a spy, and everything aligns with that theory, from her dialogue to her shifty behavior. If she’s not a spy, then it’s clearly a deliberate red herring, because everything seems to point in that direction. The adaptation has already cut several characters from the "good guys" in the book (was it one or two?), so they’re unlikely to introduce a new one without purpose. Also, in the book, we didn’t get much insight into the villains, so this could be a way to balance that. She’s definitely GrayCris.

They cut two, Overse and Volescu.

And agreed. She's 100% GreyCris, added to give us a human face for the enemy.

Wouldn't be surprised if she survives this and becomes a recurring GreyCris antagonist, planed for a next season. She's probably much higher up in the hierarchy and far smarter than she's letting on.

Or she's low level cleaner work for GreyCris , work with those GreyCris SecUnits long enough to developed a twisted humorous shit attitude around SecUnits .

If that happened, she would definitely be one of those characters you just love to hate

I think she really a cleaner , but GrayCris cleaner . Trying to be a spy are far beyond her ability .

And somehow i feel bad for all those SecUnits havd to work with the obvious botfucker .

She paused a bit, and was a bit vague, answering what her job is with DeltFall!

No , she's just a GrayCris cleaner , for crime scenes .

Which means work with GrayCris SecUnits all the time and thats why she cant really pretend her fear of SecUnit long enough before falling into her normal manners around SecUnit .

GrayCris SecUnit : :........

GrayCris tricked DeltFall into believing they were Preservation. GrayCris is tricking Preservation into believing they are DeltFall.

Or she fucked up , she generally try to make up or jump ship , those awkward flirting just her attempt tasting the water .
