Also, she said early on that she came to Earth because the therapy in space wasn't much good: 665. We knew she was messed up, and that must have gone back to her childhood, so I'm a bit bemused by the reaction to today's comic - it really doesn't feel in any way equivalent to the talk to me.
Killspree:
If Station is that good for Hanner's mental health then maybe he should download a copy of himself into the boyfriendbot.
westrim:
Is it me, or does she look like a blond stringy haired ghost girl in the second panel? At least she had halfway decent parents so she didn't end up like Alma from FEAR.
With all the stuff they must have tried, I'm surprised they didn't ship her to Earth, though they probably considered it. Maybe her mind did the same kind of overreaction the immune system does that makes it freak out at stuff like peanuts - not enough exposure to dirt and germs and people and plants and such, so encounters that did occur freaked her out. Something to consider if we ever get our asses into space.

I agree with this. This strip wasn't exactly a giant revelation; we've gotten plenty of allusions to how much worse she used to be, as opposed to The Talk, which came out of the blue, and we had no idea that Faye had been through anything significantly bad at all. It's just that we're now getting specifics, which match pretty well with what I expected; the same, but worse and INSPACE.
Zorp is now my favorite word.
Zorp!

For comic #2134...
1. Well we have had our space fun, now it looks like we are starting to move into our space drama. ...Or would that be space opera? *cue Stargate SG-1 theme music*
2. Great panel (#2) of depicting deeply disturbed young Hanners, definitely pulling off the "pitiable wretched creature" feel there.
3. It will be interesting to read how Hannelore did make the change from what she was then, to what she was when she first stalked down a drunken and depressed Marten. (If Jeph goes in that direction.)
4. pwhodges beat me to it for QC archive archaeology digging. But now makes me wonder at how many other childhood orbital AI friends has Hannelore had...?
5. I doubt I would want any cybernetic implants in my brain. What would you do when the technology you had became obsolete &/or no longer supported? ("Introducing the new 5-G neural stabilization & intercranial communications unit! Takes up less of your frontal lobes than the older 4-G implant so you lose only 15% of your brain-matter!" [legal voice]: all previous implant versions now voided for support. installation of the 5-G implant requires a fresh un-implanted section of the brain. not responsible for loss of memory, motor functions, &/or bowel movement controls. void where prohibited, prepayments mandatory, all sales final )
