1: Sedjet is seen on Jackon’s screen, sipping an exotic drink.
Jackson: I see ‘exile’ is treating you well.
Sedjet: This is therapy, agent. I’m in recovery.
2: Sedjet sets the drink down and gesticulates towards the camera.
Sedjet: Okay. Updates. I feel awful being out of the loop like this.
3: A view of Eric, Mel’s father, in a hospital bed.
Jackson: I’ll start with the bad.
Mister Khainouda. I’m afraid his health has been on the decline.
Sedjet: Oh Eric…
Jackson: Doctors can’t quite figure out how to fight whatever infection he got from the incident.
I… think he’s lost his motivation, with Melissa being gone for so long.
4: Melissa undergoing tests.
Sedjet: Right. Melissa. Is she… Well, I mean, what-
Jackson: I’m… That’s too classified, I’m sorry. She is on Earth, that’s all I can say.
My question seems to have been deleted. Asking again: how long’s it been (in-universe) since he was injured (in Issue 15, Page 24)?
So it’s been confirmed by “people in the know” (ie, the *real* Rhoda, and Tazim) that this is actually, really, truly Melissa. It’s nice to see Agent Jackson admitting that!
Though I’m curious what about her existence is classified…
…did you assume Rhoda/Tazim would bother to talk to people on the mortal plane or do you mean “confirmed” to the reader?
If it’s the former, at MOST, Rhoda could come defend Melissa’s identity, but that’s just inviting “who tf is this??” from the SIU
in-universe, scientists would just “confirm” it’s Melissa based on tests, data. (“Confirm” in quote marks because their science wasn’t able to figure out doppelganger Kas or the tanuki/fox astronauts)
To *us*. My god… =>.<=
