I asked her much the same question - with regards to asking for assistance, that is. I was told she would have if she could but that was impossible for her it seems. She cannot leave the grounds of this Sanctuary and finding the ability to draw us here seems to be all she could do. She could not communicate with us beforehand.

[Or that's what Elizabeth had taken away from their conversation.]

I am uncertain why we were given abilities or some found their own drawn away from them. I myself had no abilities before my arrival.
