John and Vana

Intro

Details

• Vana's father, Raan, brings an "image" (doppelganger? his mind?) to Zenno to conduct mental experiments. Vana objects that these cannot be accurate assessments.
• She falls in love with him. He falls in love with her? They kiss. He chooses to stay with her, but pressured by an objecting Raan to leave, and presented with a concerned "image" of Sandra, John decides his duty is to Alpha, and chooses instead to return.

Comments

• Though the episode seems to suggest the romance is real, the editor completely fails to see any spark or chemistry between them, and there is no sense of timeline or "why" either falls for each other, if that is Koenig's true feelings (he has been experimented with), or even what exactly the Koenig "image" is (his mind given the illusion of corporial being?). Even after 4-6 viewings of this episode over the years, the information in this entry is about all the editor can present in regard to John and Vana, and this entry will probably not be added to. If the reader needs more details, one will definitely have to see the episode oneself, or seek further detail elsewhere.
