Hail!
Oh, Tanis. You sure can pick 'em can't you? The first lady he was with turned out to be a resistance fighter who was tricked into serving Terra Nova thanks to some mind control. She ended up resenting him and now avoids him at all costs. You can't really blame Shenra for that. She was never going to be Tanis's special someone. They had intimate relations under false pretenses and well it wouldn't be a good look if they were together.
Now? Now he's with a lady who was sent by Gladstone to spy on the Starbolts. I think our heroes will figure out that her "rescue" went a little too smoothly. The question is....What does this say about the others in the group? Are they just as bad? Probably not. They may all want to legitimately be part of the Starbolts. For all we know Heidi might also want to be a Starbolt. We don't really know her. She could be working for Cyclone. You never know. She might actually really like Tanis as alluded to in the last panel of this week's comic.
At least now we know the reason why he was sneaking around campus after hours. He was trying to get a report from Heidi regarding her mission. She wasn't answering his calls and he had to take matters into his own hands. What exactly IS her mission, though? Well, it's clear she was supposed to seduce a member of the Starbolts and get information from them. She could have picked anyone and went with Tanis because she actually has a crush on him. Will Tanis reveal state secrets to Heidi? Will Heidi have a change of heart? Is there more to the story? Probably.
For now we can be sort of happy Tanis found someone who may actually like him. The only problem is that she was not medically cleared to have intimate relations with an alien and neither was he. Oh, boy. They are gonna get a lecture from Aquita. In fact, I would think that's where Carter went to after the two "lovebirds" left the track. They can expect a visit from the local doctor very soon.
Tanis may well be on the road to redemption but it's off to a rocky start. More on this next week. Shaking my head. Poor guy. I torture him so much. I hope things work out for him.
See ya next time!
