After today's comic I couldn't help but remember/think about this. Daedalus is Steve Hereti's son. Oasis was adopted by Dr. Hereti when she was six. Oasis calls Dr. Steve her father and Kusari refers to Oasis as sister. Neither Kusari or Oasis acknowledge Daedalus as family, nor does he acknowledge them except as tools for Hereti Corp.

I guess what i'm looking for is a time frame. http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/20081203

Hereti Corp was created in the 60's, in the 90's Daedalus did a hostile take over with Steve escaping with the Oasis project. in 1997 ( 1998?) Torg stumbles upon Oasis who we can assume was in her late teens? 18-20? So in none of Oasis's memories that we've seen before do we see Kusari or Dade Hereti. Now I dont think we know how old Daedalus is but I assume late 20's-40 max. a little older than Oasis is probably likely.

I've always assumed and still do that Dade is Steve's biological son and nothing special compared to his "sisters". So normal human pretty arrogant and power hungry definitely doesn't have his father's science or the know how to program Oasis or Kusari. (Maybe thats why he kept Robert around? in terms of Kusari).

I would argue that Kusari is a proto-type to Oasis but she's stated she was made in Oasis's image and "improved". So the birth of Kusari or the Kusari project is in the 90's after the hostile take over, so who created her? Was she a failed proto-type that Steve shut down and Daedalus "fixed"?

And what about Oasis? She recognizes and knows Kusari. http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/20010226. Kusari remarks Oasis is getting weaker meaning they've fought (or sparred?) before. Then there's this: http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/20010304

So we know Oasis hates Hereti Corp, is programmed to, they betrayed her father, recognizes Kusari as family, (or does Kusari recognize her as family but this is the first time Oasis has met her?) but she's never mentioned her "brother" who was the cause of the betrayal. It is possible she never met him/ doesn't know about him but I find it interesting.

I had actually forgotten Daedalus was Steve Hereti's son. Thank you for reminding me.

Also, holy crap, that page reads a lot differently now that we know Sasha's a deep cover HeretiCorp agent.

"Torg, I'm sorry I almost got you killed (instead of actually killed)" :sasha:

Unlikely. He was just cuffed by Hereticorp. They clearly didn't want him dead. They had absolutely no reason to want him dead at that point and they already knew that Oasis was infatuated with him, so he was already useful to them, but that was before Dangerous Days Ahead, so even if he weren't they simply wouldn't have any particular motivation to kill him.

They didn't cuff him because they wanted him to live, they cuffed him because he was bait. Pretty sure the plan, had it not been ruined by Override B-1, would have been to capture Oasis alive and leave any witnesses dead in the ensuing explosion. That's why they tried to scare the patrons off initially with fake rounds - to minimize casualties. But Torg had to stay because he was bait, meaning he was totally dead. Or would have been if Daedalus had done any research whatsoever
