In Response To: I don't really have any more to say except... (DanteThePoet) : Dude, wtf? A rape fantasy motif? She's nothing like the typical damsel in : distress, except for the one scene you mention. She is a officer in the : military, apparently an amazing pilot, and she can hold her own in a fire : fight, as was demonstrated by the rest of her appearances in the game. She : is very much in control of the situations she is shown in and not at all : indecisive or weak. : You example reminds me of something a good friend of mine explained to me
I don't know about a rape fantasy motif, but the first time I saw scene with Tartarus, Miranda, and the Index, I couldn't see it as anything less than an implication of rape. Interspecies rape, no less. When Tartarus says "And that's nothing compared to what I'll do to you!" to Cmdr. Keyes, I didn't think he meant that he'd rip her eye from its socket and jump on it, too; I thought rape. The nuances, to my thinking, all point to it. Perhaps it's just a sign that I, like a typical male, think about sex too much. But I didn't make the index=phallic symbol connection until I read this thread, in my defense.
