And this is the question she's agonized over more than anything else, but...
"I'm not going to be able to bring Jack back myself. I can tell you that much. But the repressed memories and personalities seem to gain in strength and clarity the more I speak with them. If I can get him thinking at all, it'll be two double-agents for the price of one. If I can't, I should still be able to get something we can use. And then there's Thane's shadow. What he's repressing is nothing less than a full-on death wish." And that scares her, really it does. Because if he ever finds a way, they lose Jack.
"All it wants is for the pain to end. Given how Thane's been acting recently... It's possible it'll be a bit more prominent. And if I can win it over, that's another source of information, if not outright influence. Don't bet on the influence, but it should be possible." A pause. "I think I can get it on my side. I came close, when Thane was in here looking for the Doctor."
