Fully stumped by this response, she looks at the machine pile, and at the Ghost hiding behind her. The latter whispers something urgent along the lines of “-telling the truth, we don’t have grounds…”
It doesn’t occur to her to clarify that she isn’t remotely the local police, because she can’t fathom that an actual servant of the Dark would care. They don’t bother to lie their way into people's homes, either: the knights of the Hive are very up-front with their giant bone cleavers. Nothing here quite adds up, and she can’t stop to figure it out.
“You’ve named some good people here," she says finally, settling her weight as she reaches a conclusion. "People I- people it’s my purpose to protect. Right this moment I only need to know one thing: that if I back off now you aren’t going to harm anyone.” That’s it. That’s what all her questions and trying to figure this were aimed at, when you get past ‘what is he planning’ and ‘how many more are behind him’.
