That's stupid. Humans can destabilize things just fine on their own.
[It's seen plenty of surveys fall apart due to paranoia, assholishness, personality conflicts, and just bad decision making. It's also seen much more dramatic versions in its shows.

You don't have access to any of your internal systems.
[It's preoccupied enough with the processing of that, and taking the opportunity to actually catalog the differences between it and Danse.

It only has 20% of its attention on the reflection and what's happening in it, and maybe it misremembered the timing, because in its memory the subjective eternity of the combat override download had taken more than a few seconds.
By the time it realizes, the version of its past self playing out across the surface of the water has turned its weapon on itself, firing directly into its torso.
