#what are we officially calling skinsuit Cyn

You know, in hindsight it lowkey makes sense that Tessa could understand what Doll was saying, considering she was actually a robot herself.

The other Drones probably have some sort of automatic translator built-in, especially considering the manual Khan was looking at in Episode 3 mentioned that Drones could be English, French, or Russian. Since they could be configured to any of those three languages (potentially even more, too), it would make sense that they'd have that ability. Explains why the others could understand Doll, despite her being the only person who doesn't speak English, and also how she can understand the others, despite only speaking Russian.

I think a lot of us wrote off Tessa being able to understand Doll as her being able to speak Russian as well as English, but with the big reveal of her actually being Cyn in a meat suit, I think it really showed more foreshadowing to her not actually being the real Tessa. Cyn's a Drone, so if the others have that auto-translator, she obviously would, too. Tessa [likely] doesn't speak Russian - she's using Cyn's auto-translator to speak with Doll. (Or rather, I should say Cyn's using her own translator. lol)
