Why would she need to test waters with Flynn being a black hat? Easy: Unless he really is one, or, isn't, but is actually a potent white hat, and she is testing waters for the likes of InTheMatrixxx et al. to see if they should "let this one go" and find another key figure to tarnish. "Mission Failed, the movement has not bought on to it enough to warrant any further energy"

*side note: It is interesting the phrase "test the waters" because in the scriptures the metaphor "waters" refers to "people"... tid bit of the day (:
