*It is possible that the Chrysalis is using the immediate aftermath of an intense fight as an opportunity to "come forward" and "grow" significantly, responding to physical damage ''and'' taking advantage of momentary psychological weakness. If the host is to stay unaware of the symbiosis, major physiological upgrades can only take place during a trance, or maybe while the host is asleep (although anesthesia may be necessary, as was the case during the invasive surgery experiments mentioned in {{C|12}}). See the [[Daodan]] article for more facts and speculations on the process. | *It is possible that the Chrysalis is using the immediate aftermath of an intense fight as an opportunity to "come forward" and "grow" significantly, responding to physical damage ''and'' taking advantage of momentary psychological weakness.

*Konoko's first ecstasy goes unnoticed, for multiple reasons: all TCTF troops on the roof and below have been wiped out, Damocles has been shut down, Shinatama has been kidnapped, and most of the science team is off duty (together with Griffin and Kerr). Without that knowledge, [[Griffin]] lacks determination when it comes to stopping Konoko from going after Shinatama, and his awareness of Konoko's dramatic power is delayed until the end of {{C|7}}. At this point, Konoko's ecstasy appears as unprecedented to the scientific staff, and since there is no visual contact, Griffin has no choice but to assume that Konoko is becoming, or has already become, an uncontrollable monster; hence the radical decision to detonate Shinatama's [[Xiox]]. | *Konoko's first ecstasy goes unnoticed, for multiple reasons: all TCTF troops on the roof and below have been wiped out, Damocles has been shut down, Shinatama has been kidnapped, and most of the science team is off duty (together with Griffin and Kerr).
