I hope this is the splash-page immediate follow-up to the previous issue, but it could also be something to do with Claudia (and/or El Magnifico) or it could be Rain pulling strings to reveal that Adrian is indeed the reincarnation of John Wilmot (for a Zero Hour type reveal).

And now the title is really a cause for concern.  Is it something they say to Dani to get her out of her flashback, or is it a description of her state?  Is she finally emerging from her layers upon layers upon layers of control and modification to be horrified about something?

Wait, is this performance night at Sawyer's?

Also, about the sattelites comment?  Does she just mean socially she was the queen bee before she got to Wilmot...or did she have...open relationships with her partners at Wilmot? Huh

She's used to having boys orbit her, if you will. Not having Adrian manhandling her at every opportunity is bringing forth some aspects of self-doubt and worry that she isn't good enough/attractive enough to lock his attention onto her like she used to back in the day.

At least that's my interpretation.

Danielle is, as far as we know, the only person who has been subjected to Watch programming on behalf of more than one master.  We have some reason to think that the Watch is not capable of undoing its own work -- if it were, Adrian would likely have used it to manumit the harem by now.  I think it's likely that Danielle's flashbacks are a result of mental stress caused by conflicting Watch programming.  If so, they're likely to get worse until the contradiction is somehow resolved.  This is likely to require learning a lot more about where the Watch came from and how it works.

Saving Danielle from a psychological breakdown seems like the sort of thing that would get Adrian moving aggressively into the controller underground.  It hits him smack dab on his sense of responsibility.

We don't really know Zenon's motivation or competence yet.  Is there a gifted doctor in him somewhere who would embrace the challenge and the almost sacred duty of helping Dani rebuild herself, or is he a mercenary, or worse, a hack with a knack for hypnosis?

It might not even take that much.  If Dani is perceived as sick she could easily wind up at Student Health where Xenon could find her, even if she isn't explicitly being taken to him.

We seem to have wandered a bit, but I don't know if we're all addressing the same question.

GW is skeptical that Adrian has any altruistic motives, so I assume his question that touched off this branch of discussion was at least partially sarcastic.

However, we seem to be looking at different parts of the issue.

mns and I are positing that helping Dani heal psychologically is something Adrian would try to address because he cares for her.  It's possible that he might refer her back to Student health for treatment simply beause that's the only local option, but I thought the question was "Could or would Zenon help a patient  in need without booby-trapping the treatment?"

Also, Zenon isn't a GP, he's the psych services wing of the Health Center.

I'm not sure whose gatekeeper Marliese is, if she is one.  The SJI harem isn't organized into defined roles, and we really don't have her relationship to Rain nailed down yet, or how many layers and facets Rain's plan has.
