Chicken loves me so much it hurts. Chicken would DIE for me. And get all eaten. Omnomnom.
Now THAT'S true love! I'm not sure if Oasis would go that last step for Torg.

So the million-dollar question at this point is why she stopped screaming/attacking Katie. Or is that too speccy, even though Pete has kind of confirmed it without confirming it?

I'm not sure why that's a significant question. One could as easily ask why she started screaming.

So she snapped his neck. I did not know that was what happened.

Awww! It's okay Oasis, you were adopted. Maybe she'll become the puppet thing from Five Nights at Freddy's. She's certainly looking that part right now.

There are flames in Oasis' eyes in panel two, but nothing has caught fire. Do we know the range limitations or mechanics of her pyrokinesis, eg is it focused on the cause of her anger or just whatever's nearby?
Also, has anyone worked out what we're seeing in the tiny grey and green panels in her flashback (and the narrow ones just below Oasis and Torg's first meeting for that matter)?
I can't help thinking that Oasis knows on some level that loving Torg was an order, and that's partly why she stays away and has such strong reactions. Saying that, trying to protect him by doing so is actually an act of love (rather than infatuation).

I am ashamed to say I laughed so hard at Kareen's mom of the year edition of parentz magazine. ALSO poor Oasis :( I TOO didn't realize she killed Doctor Steve! But it does say re-mastered, hmm! Don't worry Oasis your brother ( http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/20081203) probably appreciates you doing it.

Dr. Steve just spoke the order into his watch, one sentence made Oasis love Torg. That's not just brainwashing, it's direct control. HeretiCorp has the same control over Kusari, so I've always assumed they were part of the same project.

Ah! I think I know where you're going with this now and it could potentially explain more than the screaming.

That's right, Oasis; a robot would be programmed to know it's "if I were, this wouldn't hurt so much".
