[ Kamski thinks in terms of moves on a chess board, it seem, but Kara doesn't. All her focus right now is on Alice, on watching her vitals to make sure she's still alive, and watching her face for any sign of consciousness. She listens without answering and finds his silence... not relaxing, but... less unsettling than his descriptions. Maybe it's because any time she's been in a situation like this (any time that she remembers, anyway) it's resulted or almost resulted in her memory being reset. Her entire life, taken away from her. Just like that.
Alice doesn't so much as blink, her LED still cycling yellow.
If androids had stomachs, Kara is sure she'd feel hers clench and twist when he speaks up again. By now she'd bet he really doesn't mean anything untoward, except perhaps to be dramatic, but that's hardly the worst thing he could be. It's just... will he see Alice as less of a person, as a mere machine, if more of her shell is exposed? Will he help her any less?
What choice does she have, though? Nodding, Kara does as asked, careful and gentle, as if Alice had fallen asleep in clothes that need washing after a day of playing outside. ]

How much longer?
[ Not to rush him. She's just nervous. ]
