Complexities: Of course, Olga is the former superhero Gola Beh, or was… before she was de-aged to 15-ish two years ago, but with most of her memory post the age of 32 lost. Very few people know that though. So really, it is Olga that Ambrosia should be thanking… although Olga won’t have remembered saving Ambrosia’s mother when she was Gola anyway. Sheesh!
Another newbie… first year cadet Morgana Simpson. There’ll be a couple more next page… guess I’d better start updating the Cast page again!!

“I have no idea.” Wait, Olga telepathic! Why would she have no idea about somebody else’s motivations? I guess she follows the ethics of not reading people’s minds without asking them first.
Yes, indeed. Why? But you’re right, she wouldn’t be reading minds in this kind of interaction… unless the other person had zero guards on their thoughts, something Olga has complained about in regards to her fellow cadets in the past.
telepathic null?
Sun: Wait, you are a telepath! How can you not know what she is thinking?!
Olga: One, I don’t read other people’s minds without asking. I know I read your minds a few times when I was starting out last year, but those were accidents and I have gotten a lot better since then. Two, I got nothing from her mind at all. Normally, I get some spill-over from strong emotions, but with her, I got nothing, despite her obvious feelings.
Sun: Well, maybe you can’t read her mind, because clearly there is not much there to read.
Olga: Now, be nice. I think her power is supposed to be invulnerability. Maybe her invulnerability extends to her mental landscape as well.
LOL Ambrosia here reminds me of my sister. She’s very emotional and empathetic and totally would start crying to thank someone even if it was second or third-hand for something as big as saving a life, even if it wasn’t necessarily their own. I do hope she’d have more tact then to do it though while someone was in the communal showers!
Also I guess this confirms, which never has been stated outright in the comic before, that Gola’s sibling and their child that Olga is supposed to be the granddaughter/daughter of is either deceased or they were just outright just made up in the first place. I don’t suppose it would’ve been hard to alter the records to have her conveniently be an orphan so people wouldn’t ask too many questions.
It’s always pretty easy to manufacture a long lost relative, in comics anyway.
“OMG you are such a hero you saved me” (however blurred by generations and misunderstandings,in this case) is clearly an ongoing hassle for superheroes in the story. Go!Anna and K.C. are another example, and I bet there are lots more that have led to various dramas.
