Is this a clue to her true nature? This comic appears to show that the jealousy is just as powerful and reliable a response as Override B-1. It may even be more powerful, as I don't think it is confirmed whether Override B-1 can activate the pyrokenisis. Nice points, better discuss them in the spec forum Dang, that's where I'm headed. Because I don't think that's ever been brought up before (though the AyleeOrgNetHereticorp fire may have been Oasis-based -- I'm not sure).

That doesn't look like anger or jealousy, that looks like fear.

While the log is getting a bit silly, I do love the contrast between adorable "I love that movie!" Oasis in panel 1 and the last shot of her face. Kinda wishing for color when the flames come, though....
Appears Torg turned down naked, but at least took her hoodie off.. hehe.

Not touching the spec, but Dr. Steve did indeed order her feelings for Torg.. Not jealousy specifically, but Oasis also began recovering memories of the giddy part of that order too.

Everyone's definition is potentially different. You may take my suggestion of polygamy to the spec forum, and/or give yourself fanfic writers cramp.

1.) It's jarring to see how far into "Cold, manipulative chessmaster" our goofy, lovable Torg has fallen to, and 2.) I find it intriguing that of all the people he has manipulated, Oasis, of all people, is the one to make him hesitate, even for a second. I think it is jarring too--but I've never felt like he is cold--but that some of things he has done or actions he has taken have been cold... CheeseWhisper wrote: Deep down, in spite of everything she's done, he knows she's "innocent" at some level. She's basically a child in many respects, and he (rightly) feels bad when that's emphasized in contrast to his manipulations. I'm glad we can see his feelings here!
