Oh damn, I thought I responded yesterday.

Okay. So I actually couldn't agree more at this point with you. While I'm not certain as to whether or not Grey is CONTROL she certainly could be a traitor working for CONTROL. Notice how Felix ranted that all it took was for him to get shot to be trusted by the Reds and Blues? Well Grey was the only other survivor of the Massacre at Outpost 37. And she is clearly trusted by the Reds and Blues, despite being a stranger to most and having only been known for a few weeks by the others all the characters debriefed their intel in front of her. Isn't that interesting. ...hmmmm interesting. She was the only survivor of the massacre. Hmmm.... I wonder how she got away with that? Also, yeah, for a girl with a silly attitude she does seem to know what's going on quite a bit. Sure she has a high IQ and claims to have a hobby in archaeology, and it is weird she'd give them information about the weapons if they were hers to begin with - but then again who would suspect the traitor is the one giving them the intel? And what would it matter if Grey expected them to die soon anyway? Carolina did say 'We can't trust anyone', yet they trust this new random. Now, Carolina. Carolina's injury was definitely severe. Clearly it was dangerous. But for a super elite badass space warrior with an AI and healing unit surely she could do some healing of her own. ...but Grey insists that it'll take a lot more to heal them. So far she's proven right. Unless she sabotaged the healing process to assure that Carolina slips up in battle causing her untimely demise and potentially the procuring of the Epsilon AI fragment to the Space Pirates. My next point, we know Crash Site Bravo was likely abandoned as Carolina stated. But considering Crash Site Alpha was amongst the Space Pirates' ship-blower-upper-gun it makes sense there'd be pirates nearby. So when Alpha team goes out to Crash Site Alpha, Grey calls the pirates and ensures they are prepared to ambush Carolina, which is possible at Alpha because there'd be pirates close by. However, Ill admit this part of the theory can get a little wonky, because it seems the pirates are VERY GOOD with the Future Cubes and would have no problem getting to Bravo and stopping the Reds from seizing the manifest. Unless of course the manifest has no information on it, which wouldn't stunt the progression of the show because now they have a prisoner with information to interrogate. Okay, so obviously the Blues found it off that they were discovered at their crash site, and obviously the Space Pirates knew they were there. Also, Tucker forcing the Blues to leave early probably ensured that a Space Pirate WOULD NOT come back with them. So when they return perhaps Grey/CONTROL is in mid-contact with a Space Pirate when the arrival of the Blues and Reds interrupt them. Then the pirate tries to kill Caboose before Carolina incapacitates the pirate and reopens the wound in her leg, much to the unconcern of Grey. Grey is likely to be able to manipulate the Pirate into not giving information or in the very least not giving the 'correct' information. Hmm. So this could end up being a right Bugger's Muddle. While I don't think Tucker's stare at the end was at Grey, I do believe he knows something doesn't add up. It's also worth noting that Grey seems to be really interested in the Freelancers' and Sim Troopers' neural implants and how Epsilon can travel between them. - She's being given a fair amount of information. How much do we really know about Dr Emily Grey???? She did operate of Washington's head, so I wonder if she's done something to his neural implants? We haven't seen yet but it is definitely still possible. Earlier when CONTROL says to Felix and Locus 'I know they won't succeed', she potentially could know because she's been speaking as an ally to Washington. She hears that they're a bunch of misfits as Grey and then as CONTROL is sure they won't find the other prisoners under the Federal Army. My final statement, incredibly unlikely.... she wanted to cook fungus food for the others when they went to find the crash sites... poisoned fungi? Hmmm.

Unfortunately there is a big inconsistency here. 'Oh no'. It's something she says when the Massacre of Outpost 37 is occurring. She's worried she'll get killed. ...wait. no. OR she's saying 'Oh no' because at this point she had not been informed by Locus (who hadn't realised) and Felix (who was hoping to stop them) that the prisoners had met up. And WE KNOW for a fact that CONTROL is unaware that they have met up because Locus has to make the call as soon as they escape. Maybe Grey is saying 'Oh no they've met up despite my intentions!'
