In case you’re wondering how Twilight knows that Olga was once Gola, she’s one of a very few within the Magellan ranks who does know and knew almost from the outset… see any page in Redux from #15 onwards for clarification! Meanwhile… what was Olga’s fear as seen on page 6.81?

I’d wager it’s not so much that Olga has truly “forgotten” so much as her personality fragmentation is interfering. Right now she’s in the “cadet Olga” persona. Her first appearance in “cadet” persona in the Astral plane revealed her to be more naive than usual. She was also unstable in that form; she seemed unable to remember that she was Gola. When she finally switched into “battle Olga” persona, she seemed to be back to normal… But of course she had to get back in uniform, and while that didn’t seem to interfere with her memories or capabilities at first, she’s now been heavily mentally strained trying to hold all the dream-quests together, not to mention she just got zapped and pried into by Vlax. My bet is that she’s been pushed closer back to her unstable cadet persona.
Or, Vlax’s zap seared away yet more of her memories.
excellent analysis. can’t think of anything else to add, which is quite unusual.
Don’t forget, xmung left us a clue in his remarks above:
Do you remember “Olga’s fear as seen on page 6.81?”
In theory 1966 was only subjectively 6 or 7 years ago. For six of those years she would have be actively practicing with her abilities, meaning it seems unlikely she would forget a useful technique.
Since we’ve seen Olga at the Academy, there seems to be the implication that her memories of before 1972 are really quite fragmented, especially those memories regarding her abilities. I wonder if she would have remembered regardless of the current crisis.
Wait a moment: Twilight knows this is the original Gola?
Yes, of course, they were working together to get back her memories when the genie turned her into a teen – Twilight’s “therapy” is the reason she can remember things between her “current” age and her thirties.
Yep, but it’s a good question, I’ll put some links up in the main text under the update to help remind people.
OMG, I just noticed your name, that’s the most awesome guest name I’ve ever seen!
Yup, that’s where the name came from: needed a temporary name for C.urvy and picked this one
great page
Her fear is possibly to be forgotten (her original past forgotten even by her ‘new’ self)
OMG! Will Olga be able to recall or do one of her own?
Hope things slow down a little at your job, and I’ll be looking forward to the end of November.
It’s a shame, but much better than quitting on us. Thanks also for telling us. So many webcomics you just don’t know what’s going on, and it’s frustrating.
Your loyal and true fans/readers will be here when you get back
Wake me up when November ends
i have shit going on too, so take your time.
