"She's the one that kidnapped Nessie afterward," Donna says her thoughts aloud, also to confirm with the others that she knows this part. "Her scientists used even more unstable cybernetics to 'enhance' the Silver Swan powers... but it was all for a suicide mission, basically."
Nessie nods at that, wetting her lips in a nervous gesture. There's a new message on the phone screen: I always felt ashamed of this. Idiot girl who got taken in by a sleazy man, helpless little victim who couldn't fight back. And... I might be wrong, but it always FELT like Mom thought the same of me.
Donna's eyes flash with anger at the thought -- more that any mother could feel that way about a daughter -- and she says, "I... I hate to think that about someone like Julia. But she must have done something to make you feel that way... what was it?"
