Zachary. [Elizabeth corrects, her eyes stuck at 'tornado'.] Zachary Comstock. And Booker DeWitt. They weren't the same man. [It unnerves her enough to see his name next to 'Comstock', but that's the easier thing to process and comment on now.]
[She had forgotten. The FastPenta-- she'd encountered Bel and Miles, later Ivan, but she'd forgotten Rinzler and maybe because it would have stopped her heart if she had remembered what she'd said to him. But he knows about the tornado, the rest she can piece together.]
...so why didn't you tell anyone? Somebody tells you they could drive a tornado through any space they like and you don't think that it's worth a network-wide notice that Ploiatos isn't the only monster on the ship? That there's a worse one lurking in the library, wearing the skin of some innocent, wronged woman and pretending she isn't anything but what's on the surface? That she could be the key to sending all of these people home, but she chooses to deny them because she's heartless and unnatural and lacks remorse?
[She hadn't intended to go that far, but she's been without an outlet, without Miles or Ivan, for many weeks. Elizabeth knows herself, knows that in the end, her emotions will always get the better of her.]
