Hail!
Well, it looks like Tanis and Heidi are just "really good friends", huh? Yeah, no. That's likely not the case. I don't know if there's love there yet. But, it seems Heidi might not be able to complete the mission Cyclone sent her on. Cyclone likely never counted on one of their operatives falling for their target even if he is an alien from another dimension.
We should probably talk about that for a second. I'll delve into it a bit more next week. Tanis's people is apparently biologically compatible with Terrans. There's a mystery about why that is. I mean both species are humanoid and we've seen Tanis's mother Medea get romantically interested in people in the Starbolts' dimension. She did hit on Garazo. Whether or not that was successful or not is up for debate. Either way, they were able to become paramours. Is it love or lust? I don't know. She was thinking of the mission and now can't finish it.
In the next comic we'll be looking at her origin. Some details of her life mirrors Crystal's. I think she's gonna need to talk to her as well. I think before that we'll likely see the talk Marcus is gonna have with Tanis and that guy is gonna get an earful.
We learned this week that Aquans have the technology to detect pregnancy shortly after sexy times. That shouldn't be a surprise. They're an advanced race who, as Aquita said, mastered interstellar flight when it was just the 1500s on our world. Sadly, the conflict with the Mosqukatra destroyed most of their fleet. But, great strides have been made to regain what had been lost. Aquans also have really, really good birth control methods. Both men and women take them. I don't think the FDA has approved it for general consumption, yet. Aquans willingly share their technology. However, some things might be a little too complex for Terrans at the moment. Thankfully, they are willing to share and aren't jerks about it. They just know that some humans aren't to be trusted with various aspects of their technology.
Anyway, we're going to get a look at Heidi's backstory next week and learn a bit about Tanis as well. He was grown in a lab. I can only imagine how Medea will feel about her son dating a Terran. Who am I kidding? She'd be thrilled! It's Demonstorm who'd be less than thrilled. If he ever escapes that prison I put him in.
See ya next time!
