I would have though amorality to be the NATURAL state and morality the
thing conditioned. Katje could never allow herself to be  so conditioned.
It would be an insurmountable disqualifying factor in  her ability to
carry out  the assignment.  There is something  exceedingly glamorous in
the completely amoral person.  I got to thinking of this the other
evening while watching "The Passion of Ayn Rand."  The victims in the
piece (the respective spouses and/or lovers) were constantly being
scolded for not being able to put their own interests above those of
others. They would try mightily to change but to no avail. Apparently
once you pick up (though  conditioning)  some sense of the existence of
others it's too late. O the lucky two heroes without this encumbrance.
