So, when it's in black and white, it's a dream/flashback?
Yes. Dreams or flashbacks will always be in black and white, and sometimes with a splash of color for emphasis, like the red blood, for instance. But be careful. I used to do some night scenes in black and white too, so use your own discretion. Her dreams are characteristically more messed up than real life ever should be, so it shouldn't be too hard to tell. A lot of times too, her artificial enhancements are missing or hidden, and she's always wearing white. It's her perception of herself, so there's another clue.

Who the heck are all these people in India's dream/flashback thingies?
A lot of the times they are her old fiance James, who disappeared without a trace. Sometimes it's Georgie, because he's significant- he started her thinking on the whole "question everything" line of thought. Other times it's a creepy scientist-like dude with glasses whom India seems to be afraid of. What's his significance? If I tell you, it won't be a surprise, now will it?

Why does India never use her left-hand-cannon thingy?
Because it's painful and it synthesizes proteins so it saps her of energy. You'll also notice that she wears a glove over it most of the time- at least until Dr. Weaver performs the operation that gets rid of the metallic-ness and makes it look more like a synthetic arm. It makes her feel self-conscious, especially because andriods aren't awarded humanity. No she's not an android, don't get confused, but she can come across as one with that metal thing glistening on her arm. She saves it for emergencies, and it's useful because it can get through most security scans undetected.

What's that chip over her right eye?
If you read Chapter 7, you'd know. ~_^ It's directly connected with her brain. The Org can access her memories through it, can record her dreams, artificually inhibit synapses, all sorts of cool stuff. It's keeping back a lot of her memories, some on purpose, some by accident. But after Dr. Weaver comes into the picture, he modifies it so it becomes so much more than that. It has a worldwide database so that with a simple click of a button and a conscious thought, India can access any public information she wishes. Of course, it's a double-edged sword; being connected to the network means she can be tracked anywhere. He also put a handy dandy little light on it, for reading in the dark and such. It's another thing she keeps hidden under her bangs. She doesn't like being thought of as artificial.

Where's Gaelen?
He's hanging around with the other mutants in the Underworld. Don't worry, I didn't plop the winged bishounen in there just to take up a little space. He'll get more screen time as things go on.

Is James really dead?
See Chapter 14.
