Very random and tiny observation, but I think it shows the level of care taken here. In the previous issue, both of Tammy's friends were commenting about her hair, and she, or rather her sleeper personality, said that she was going to let it grow out some. A fair amount of time has passed since then... and not only has Tammy not grown her hair at all, she seems to have removed the stubble that WAS there. Maybe it's just me not noticing the stubble since her hair is red and would blend in easy with her skin at a distance, but to me it kind of demonstrates how artificial the base personality is when it is switched on, and how little meaning it ultimately has when even if she actually MEANS it at the time (the sleeper personality can be told to believe a lie that it's been programmed to) that what it says cannot be taken with any amount of faith because the CORE edicts come first, always. I actually wonder why she went full bald... I suspect that doctor had something to do with it, as she definitely takes a perverse glee in twisting people while the director seems to be more goal-focused. It isn't much of a stretch to think that she decided to have Tammy take a closer shave just out of spite.
It's also kind of sad that since meeting with her friends, Tammy's 'overlay' persona hasn't shown up at all. She's been in full automaton mode every time she's been seen since. Though to be fair, it seems that this is the norm at CORE. Interestingly, it's similar but opposite to how the officer described it in this issue. She made it out that most of the time she's normal, but could 'go robot' when needed. Of course, the reality is exactly the reverse... the vast majority of the time they're in robot mode, and the normal persona only comes out when they need to interact with someone on the outside for more than brief contact. Which again brings about Mel's situation. Even working there to look out for her friends, she'd have to notice that they're basically mindless dolls most of the time.
Oh! A very quick continuity quibble. When Mel was rescued by Haven, her eyes were normal. But the reason her eyes were white in the first place was because she was wearing contacts, so bringing her out of trance wouldn't affect their appearance. I don't recall when they were removed... oversight?
