True, although to be additionally fair, Iona wasn't factoring that possibility into her calculations. She's encountered very few other Fog ships in person at that point, and never another one with a Mental Model. She had rather assumed that she was anomalous in that regard.

(I am aware that, canonically, Fog ships smaller than heavy cruisers can't have their own Mental Models barring oddball exceptions like the I-400 class and U-2511; I'm just going to tell y'all right now that I'm not sticking to that rule, because then there would not be destroyers, and what is the point of personified warships without destroyers?! :)
