"Well if you're so smart then you obviously don't need my help in figuring this out."
Haley is getting more but as things get a little more complex the metaphors break down. While the ultimate step does seem to be some kind of conquest, prior to that she gets the impression of political machinations, aimed at the UK in response to, well, their meddling. Beneath that she can get the smug satisfaction of having already replaced someone. Several someones? She gets the clear impression that the X-Men are what they're considering a high priority enemy right now, but a frontal assault is definitely not these peoples' preferred approach... Before she can dig too deep into their plans and who has been replaced with one of them the Skrull's thought suddenly slow down and almost dissipate.
In the cell in front of her the alien shifts and a moment later there's a bed sitting on each side of the cell. If Haley didn't know that one of them is a sentient being she would probably miss it's minuscule mental presence entirely.
