Why didn't she...(spoiler)


Choose another peripheral body in the end, instead of announcing herself to the baddies?

reply

Because they know who she is in the stub. A different peripheral wouldn't have helped. Plus I think they have ways to track who's using the peripherals.

reply

I never heard them say that they can track who's in it.

reply

Yeah, that is a bit odd. They knew when Conner was using her peripheral, but they didn't seem to know when Flynn was in Burton's peripheral in the first episode.

reply

Yes i remember they told that they knew when Conner was in her but don't recall Flynn being in Burton's

reply

They didn't know because they were tracking her when she was using her brother's avatar game account. They never saw her brother's vitals. So as far as they were concerned they had the right person. When they properly put an ID on her and registered her with the authorities, her incognito status vanished.
