Cordelia is not an engineer- not that that would likely help, because she's not sure how much the methods of space travel are similar to the ones she's familiar with. But she does fully grasp how dangerous the situation is for them at the moment, so she will be doing what she can, which is mostly evacuating the affected areas. Which isn't made easier with have the ship being torn up looking for the problem.
"Come on," she says to whomever she's getting out of the area at the moment, "This way- we need to get out of this area as fast as possible." Maybe the radiation isn't that bad yet, but it easily could be.

Honestly these things have plenty of things to pick from, even if they just restricted their choices to the last couple of months. Cordelia's not sure why they're bothering showing things to her, honestly- she hasn't forgotten. She's not sure she can forget.
The one it's showing right now is particularly fresh, to the point that she not only hasn't gotten over it, she hasn't really had the time to deal with it yet. There's a scene in a beautiful room, Cordelia standing there with a young woman and a rather ugly man. They're surrounded by guards, a clearly aristocratic man and woman in front of them. This is not a good starting point, but Cordelia hands the woman a small shoe, which she takes almost in awe as the redhaired woman assures her than 'Gregor' is still alive. The woman begins to pull away from the man, who is trying to deny Cordelia's claim, but she continues to deny him and pulls out a weapon, she's killed instead by one of the guards.
As the memory ends, Cordelia just turns away. Kareen has been avenged, at least. But that doesn't make her feel much better.
