@cattservant is she even wearing pants? all I see is a bit of something black and lacy in the corner of the topmost frame...
More to the point: you go, miraiko. Way to come clean about it. Why don't other heroes ever do this? Or people in general? It's often much easier to convince someone to help you if you tell them what you're doing first.
Julia knows pretty close, inside a month, how long they have been together. To me that speaks of how important Miraiko, their relationship is to her.
Which is likely to make what is coming even MORE painful. Miraiko deceived Julia on a bunch of things... so is their love for one another enough to overcome that deception or not? Guess we will see.
I think she has an implant, highlander. I wouldn't want to put my communication method into something that could be changed out on someone else's whim.
items and Tech that evades scanners is - while not common is wide spread. And Miriako even has the requsete "healed injury" that would have made such a thing needed... So they just ignored it.
Any sufficiently advanced tech is indistinguishable from magic, Sheela. Dolly is tech BEYOND what people understand as tech, so they take it to be something it is not. :-)
Excellent dialogue on this page. I am equally impressed with the texture of Miraiko's shirt/blouse, very glossy yet it seems like you could touch the screen and feel it. :)
Righ now the good doctor is feeling, confused, trapped, betrayed, scared for her life and friendless. All she can see is Kali turning her over to the Prince for rape, beatings and torture,
On another note my number one suspect for who set up this whole kidnapping mess goes straight to our inscrutable Asian Tokyo Rose. Who now seems to be setting herself up as the power behind each and every planetary AI making her the De Facto Ruler of Earth and possibly Luna also.
Who else would think long term to plant Miriako as Julias lover, engineer the romance between Lynn and Kyle, give Callie the upgrade designs for Dolly, pass the word on Lynns flight to her Birthday Party and a few other projects so she can repair the Nova Roma AI, betting Sparta and the other smaller AI's are, probably unknown to them, linked to her mainframes. I'm sure Cent Comm might also have a link or two even if Cent Comm thinks she controls the link. The goal of the Asian Sphere always has been world domination, through economic means of by more direct confrontation if necessaty.
Julia and Mirako are lovers, have been for 4 ears 7 months. Rose controls Mirako due to ancient family ties that bind Mirako's family to Rose as master to servant.
Yeah, KarToon; however, I don't think Miraiko wants to put it in those terms. Runs the risk of Julia panicking and Miraiko would have to kill her now. Worst, Julia might say yes, and then break down later and blow the entire operation.
Miraiko needs her to be freely and totally committed to the mission. Or there is too much chance of it all going South (Antarctica here we come). If Julia believes in Miraiko though, she has a better chance of getting out of this alive.
I don't think she'd put it in those terms, but for a different reason. They're lovers, and have been for several years. Putting it in those terms would hurt Julia as badly if not worse than drekhead did. If anything, I'd guess she's more hoping that Julia will go along if only so that whatever happens, they stay together.
Come with me and let us fulfill your hopes and dreams. Make me proud to be with you,
or do not, forsake your dream, and not be worthy of either me or yourself....
Very talented actor if she can keep up a fake accent for almost 5 years. I went out with a girl once that faked a French accent. She blew it as soon as she got drunk. lol
I just realized something... Miraiko is 22 years old. 4 years and 7 months ago, she would have been at BEST 18... could have been 17.
DAMN, Rose was cold sending her in to play slave. I mean Miraiko probably was beaten, if not raped, in introducing her to her new status as a slave. Awfully young to be tossing into this cesspool.
That is just FRIGID if you ask me. Rose needed an agent on site, and pragmatically sent in the one to do the job. The consequences to someone that young though... ::Shivers::

.. hrmm .. do you think it'll work ?
I didn't even see the tuna disappear!

I hope Dr. Julia agrees. She was kind and nice to Lynn. It would be a pity to lose her...
*lol* @alt text :D
Edit: ...and of course (after seeing patreon) I sure do hope Miraiko will survive also...
Which is likely to make what is coming even MORE painful. Miraiko deceived Julia on a bunch of things... so is their love for one another enough to overcome that deception or not? Guess we will see.
And Julia is oh-so-familiar with it.
She used to be his pet, after all.
And frankly, visit enough physical pain on someone and it becomes a mental scar as well.
Ceci is also packed with Sensor evading tech.

But, "Make love, not war.", is still a better rule to live by than two mega tonne warheads.
*sage nod*
Find Out... in the NEXT... DataChasers, the series!
You're pregnant Centcomm ?
With rose ?
But how can that BE ???
/lost in translation
Epidural, please.
How many times is Rose going to be born this season?
Miraiko needs her to be freely and totally committed to the mission. Or there is too much chance of it all going South (Antarctica here we come). If Julia believes in Miraiko though, she has a better chance of getting out of this alive.

Some choice, Miriako.
