Hmm, so the issue at heart is that A is hiding how exceptional Basil is, and the uniqueness of their connection.
I still don’t get what killing Robert would accomplish tho… he pretty much outed her in public, even if it was only speculation. The damage is already done, isn’t it?

He didn't out her at all. He spoke to both of them *inside the back channel*. He accessed it as he touched her, using nanotech and a frightening level of insight to find the channel in physical reality and interface with it (with nanotech).
I don't know A's code, but in referencing it I believe he was giving A cover. He created a different reason for her to feel shocked at the scale of privacy invasion and deep intrusion.

It wouldn't really help her situation, in my estimation. If Robert isn't an idiot, he'll have a dead-man's switch to release this sort of knowledge in the event of his demise.
I see it as panicked flailing, which is absolutely understandable given how much stress she's under.
