Chris couldn't open Amber's disc while holding her. "I can't open her disc while holding her... And she doesn't keep her camera on at all..." Chris said back. Amber never cared about "catching" anything. She only used her disc if she needed to. Which wasn't a lot.

(Disc "cameras" are always active- they're visual representations of a program's memories and experiences.)

"A subject with the codename 023-SKY, from the logs I saw. You wrote this program went rogue, and you replaced her with a firewall soldier with a similar enough physique to substitute for the original."

Tesler raised an eyebrow at Paige's defense, not believing her story. "How come you know so much about this experiment business, anyway?"

"With all due respect, sir, I'm only repeating what I saw in those logs. You can see for yourself." Tesler snatched her disc and began scanning her memories.

"And what prompted you to turn Pavel in? What made you want to expose his actions so badly you'd go to the lengths you did?"

Paige faltered for a moment. "He was harming an innocent soldier for... for some reason, I don't know exactly why, but... torture. You saw it yourself, General. He's been running these tests under your nose for who knows how long, and what is it going to lead to? You've seen Pavel's devices." she lowered her voice, so that the commander in question wouldn't hear. "He could be plotting to destroy you by turning your own soldiers against you."
