Rebecca isn't stupid--she's nearly as talented a roboticist as she is a pilot, and you don't become an expert in the laws of robotics without learning a little about the laws of humanity along the way--so when Oberon says "I've been watching your family for a long time, Ellys" she knows to hear my cloning facility isn't the only genetic experimentation I run.
When Ellys says "I'm not sure the Survivalists deserve the retribution that the Emperor plans for them," she hears I'm not sure I can do this much longer.
And when Okonkwo, wild-eyed and fervent, swears to her "I'd never do anything to hurt you, Rebecca, Ellys is like my brother, you just deserve so much better," she calls Ellys before Okonkwo can leave and says, "We need to talk."
