Holy crap, Hanners is scary when she is pissed. Waiting to see where this goes. I have no idea but I anticipate I will enjoy the ride.
Also, all the talk about assault and battery, etc. Are you forgetting where they are? They are on a space station, in international space. there are only legal issues if the laws of the station say there are.

No, no, her dad is on the space station. Her mom is in... California, I think? They divorced a long time ago, so Hannermom wouldn't have stayed on the station.
Besides, we saw Hanners taking an airplane ride to get to her mom, not a space shuttle.

Kindaaaa wasn't going to say anything at first but then decided fuckit, I'm doin it?
RMc: Not serious mental illness? "cutesy OCD she supposedly has"? http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=959 Are we reading the same fucken strip? http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2134 Or are you the kinda person that finds a immobilizing-strap gurney "cutesy"? As someone who has mental illnesses themself: Fuck off!
OldGoat:
Lighten up, folks, people do unnecessary things like that all the time. If they didn't Roko and her colleagues would be out of work. Not to condone shoving matches and worse, but this is about as low as things go on the contact violence scale.
Yes, by pushing her mother, Hanners committed a misdemeanor assault (whether or not it's termed "battery" will depend on state law where it happened). Yes, it was unnecessary in-universe, but probably necessary to Jeph's plot. It's classed as domestic violence in most states. If the parties are separated by an airliner flight, the local police aren't going to be too concerned about it starting up again. Unless Beatrice bruises very easily, she's uninjured. The cops aren't going to chase a misdemeanor across state lines.
However, the odds of Beatrice calling the police are slim. Bigshots like her do NOT like the cops in their space - even if she's Mad-as-Hell she'll think twice about summoning them to the Ellicott-Chatham Mordor Tower. If she calls her lawyer, and presuming said lawyer isn't just a yes-person, the advice will be, "There's more to loose by making this public. Don't involve the cops."
No injuries + no damage = no civil case to sue for. Even Judge Judy would consider it a waste of time.
If Hanners is interviewed, odds are the officer will refer the report to the city attorney or whoever for action. The city attorney will take one look at Hanners's non-existent criminal record and decline prosecution.

Thank you.
That was one of the grossest things I've read on these forums, to date. >.>
