Spectre is a cult. She knows that much just by tapping Ordric on the shoulder. He didn't think of it as a cult, but that's what Neo sees it as. This hidden compound sure looks like a good place for a cult hideout too.

They don't recognize her, but Neo knows the way in, through the secret passageways and down the labyrinthine tunnels. When she met the first human, she speaks every password and performs every hand signal without fail. She has an accent when pronouncing some of the words--she's not used to making the correct sounds--and the delicacy of her motions need work, but there are Spectre members with worse accents and clumsier hands out there.

It takes a while for her to find Faust's laboratory--Neo suspects that Ordric also gets lost in these halls--but she stumbles upon it eventually. Neo's polite enough to knock before entering. She's not polite enough to wait for a response before entering though.

She lets herself inside. Neo's only a teenaged girl, almost twenty but not there yet, and she's small, frail, unarguably weak. She does not make a habit of going anywhere dangerous in person, because in person is how she's most vulnerable.

She's nervous, but all the wealth of knowledge she possesses, she doesn't know her emotions well enough to understand why her hands are cold and her mouth dry. She assumes its chilly here, she might be coming down with a cold.

She's never sought out a teacher before.
