EDIT: I'm going to hold off on uploading the next page until DD transfers over to the new servers, just in case something goes wonky. You'll just get two updates next week instead. And I'm totally going to take advantage of the new sub pages as soon as they become available. Look forward to character bios in the near future! :D
O, I'm not at all saying she would be at all any more pleasant a bat-person thing if she had a different partner. Her baseline gumpatude is what makes me like her so much.

i have to say. this is one of the best sci-fi storylines i've had the pleasure of reading in a long ,long time. That is probably the best compliment i could give you. great work, keep it up. i'm interested in where this will go.
@ Schubacca: I think she's hiding something, I think she's using Ten as a focus for what ever it is she's hiding from them, or maybe herself. Something is driving all that anger, or she'd collapse from exhaustion. :--) I feel you are on the right track, though... but I don't know what it is, ... not a clue.
@Hellheart: Yer right, she better get some humble, lose some arrogance, or she'll be eating crow. (do they even have birds? Or just those reptile ... things?)
We need to ask, "What is Kiva so afraid of, that she must push everyone away? What dark secret is she harbouring, that she must act this way to protect herself?"
This is an important question, as in if yer on a ship and yer not on-board as a "Team" player, yer on the plank, (or out the air-lock). Loners don't last long in space, ... er, do they? Much like loners don't do well in Submarines. Team work keeps you alive. As E.C. said best, "Screw you guys, I'm going hoome!" Yeah, that's not going to work so well in the academy; I fear that Ten is gonna have to work Really! hard to keep her in, or she'll be kicked out like last week's fish.(if they eat fish?) @Hellheart: guess we need more info on Stridor's disease. you might be right. I still don't think Ten is clairvoyant, or he'd be really rich from cheating with the contraband goods. As is, he's doing O.K. but the higher-ups know what he's doing. They let his stuff go through cargo uploading. I'm interested in knowing if the wolf is spirit based, or a "real" entity, and why he never seems to notice it, but notices the bad dreams. either way, I think We are on to something.
@hellheart
Ten has already done enough things to hold the fate of Kiva's entire life in his hands, reread the scene were they get called into the office. This has only so far resulted in her hating him even more. I'm fairly sure it has to do with her feeling cheated by being stuck with what she feels is some one unworthy of being a candidate, let alone her partner, and then having to watch as he does better then her in so many things.
Went to school with a guy like that, he hated my guts.
Totally loving this comic! Found it and have read the whole thing in two days heh I tend to do that. Awesome work.
to Girl bug: He has a genetic condition that makes him smaller, lighter in coloring, easier to injure and weaker immune system...at least that seems to be what the conditions implied symptoms are....Avsaroke can correct anything i got wrong there lol
Also, I may have said this before on a previous page, but in response to the comments on the previous page, my opinion on the nature of Stridor's Syndrome is thus;
What Ten is seeing not simply hallucinations, but either (a) visions of the future or past
or (b) psychic insights into a person's mind or nature (there's a term for that I think, but I can't remember what it is).
And the black cloud, a mixture of a warning of bad things ahead, and his own bad memories (thank you geneseepaws). Probably in the completely wrong direction with this, and that it's just hallucinations, but that's what I think.
This is either going to end with Kiva leaving, or with Ten doing something that will leave her so owing him that she has no choice but to stay and least try not to piss off everyone around her

i wonder if she did anything bad before? (totally off topic) why is Ten so light colored any ways?
Stig Hemmer at 5:21PM, June 26, 2011
Oh, Kiva. Oh, Ten. Being a teen-equivalent is hard...
