Here we are inside Fatima’s brain and it’s not a very happy place! This is the first time we’ve seen any other PherNians (the half human, half cephalopod inhabitants of PherNos found somewhere under the oceans of Earth). Unfortunately for her mother and father it’s also a recounting of their demise – sorry it’s a bit brutal! I know, I know… Orphan’s Ordeal… not the most original origin but one that I’ve had in mind for Fatima since the beginning. As far as I know she’s the only direct orphan in our current crop of cadets (although the alien Chiq doesn’t know his parents at all). These events would have taken place about two years before we first met Fatima in pages 1.45-46. Now, Fatima has given an account of how/why she is at Magellan Academy on page 6.41… make of that what you will!

I love how you can see emotion in Kaycee’s eyes, even in a dream, and with a mask on.
Also, is that Gola “speaking” in the last bubble?
Heck happened to the mothers crown thingummy in the second to last panel? Unless that weird light affect is it dissipating… which would leave me with more questions…
No, that’s me forgetting to draw it in. I did realise at some point that I needed to add it… then it slipped my mind. Thanks for the reminder!
great page
yes the queen’s judgement is fair (sarcasm). the real question is how it is outside of the palace (fatima is royalty, right?). perhaps later she will lead a revolution or something.
not being able to step in there must drive a heroic type like kaycee nuts, especially when it is a friend in trouble.
sea cow? fatima used that epithet on charisma too. apparently a phernian thing. what did manatees ever do to them?
