"Right. Church." That more or less confirms her suspicions. Sounds like Epsilon, goes by Church, has a body, but doesn't even know who Epsilon is? It has to be Alpha, probably from before Wash finds him. This is definitely going to be...interesting. Honestly, Carolina's at a bit of a loss on how to handle it. Obviously she can't go off telling him about the truth, the way things really are... That's not necessary and it would likely only cause problems.
Better to go along with it. Go along with the story that he believes is his life.
"It's fine. I've heard about a few of your run-ins with other Freelancers." So it's not like, knowing now who he is, she's expecting any hospitality. It would make sense if, even without knowing any other Freelancers, he just had this dislike for the Project.
"If it makes you feel a little less on edge, I'm not actually part of the program anymore." Offering a stiff shrug, she's not sure it'll do much, and it's not a big deal if he's entirely uncomfortable around her regardless. Especially considering she's...got no idea what to do about him being here. Especially with Epsilon around. --And Wash. No, Wash should be fine if Alpha still thinks he's Church. Wash doesn't know about that yet.
