Ah, but I had to go back and read the story -- for context, you see -- before I looked at the picture. I'm far more word-oriented than picture-oriented. I actually have difficulty reading comic books; I sweep through reading all the text and forget to look at the pictures to get a feel for the 'action'. There's a reason I never vary my icon.
I see! That would explain it -- and I'm glad I gotcha again. X3 (I wonder if being oriented more towards text or pictures is something people are born with or if it develops during childhood? As a kid, I read a lot of books, but I also read comics, and I was watching television with subtitles by the time I was 14. Could that have primed me for facility with picture+text information, or would I just not have been as good at it if I wasn't already built to be?)
Sounds good to me, too.
It's amazing what just a few little tweaks can do for a universe -- even if Ronnie is the only gender-reversal in the story, that already means that the three greatest human minds in two galaxies are all women: Ronnie, Sam Carter, and Ronnie's sister Jeannie.

Nature or nurture?

I bet Sam is very smug about that. ;3
