| − | Arden doesn’t see anything plugged into her voluntary nervous system. However, Arden can also see Valerie’s had damage similar to Mike Carter and she’s been treated with the same cure as Carter. So that part of her brain is getting rewired. There’s no way Arden can look at that part of her brain and say, ah-ha, there are the code words [that Blue Sun likes to use on its victims] but he can see she’s had similar damage as Carter when he was overdosed with the Chempliant-based drugs. Which might explain some things, even as it brings up the possibility that Mike Carter might still be susceptible to manipulation as Valerie has been. | + | Arden doesn’t see anything plugged into her voluntary nervous system.

And that’s basically all Arden can glean from the scan results. It’s possible we might be able to access the material Valerie’s recorded if we can find a compatible connector to the wire in her head. It would be a matter of trial-and-error and time, to say nothing of her cooperation. She may actually have to think of things in order to access the data. She’s also not keen on the idea of having her brain read by anyone and is rather inclined to taking a pair of wire clippers and clipping the wire off at the skin, but the fear of adversely affecting something vital stays her hand. | And that’s basically all Arden can glean from the scan results.
