Just kidding. Turns out she totally still has it in her to be scared! The color drains from her face, and she boggles in horror. She's not even specifically upset about the spine thing? She's a boneless alien who doesn't really have the disgust for such a violation hardwired into her. No, it's the idea of the Technicians having unfettered access for experiments that has her going white as a sheet. She's been so terrified of volunteering for trials, she hadn't even considered for a second that getting dropped to Theta could open her up to the very thing she has been trying to avoid.

"O-oh," is all she manages to stammer in response to that. Can gems faint? We might be about to find out.
