The fate of Nora

[Astarte]

Well, after rereading #45. The Revelation and #54. The Beginning, I think I've come to a reasonable conclusion regarding the fate of Nora. I always wondered why she never came back to Peter and Marco, especially after the revelation to the entire world that they were still alive and responsible for saving the planet. I'd always thought it possible that she did come back, but those scenes were never mentioned, but after going through it again, I think it's more likely that Nora died during the war, so Marco's secret lie to his father is safe and his family is together again, but not, as Marco said, honestly or happily.

Thoughts?

I'm not sure if she died or whatever. Best case scenario, she becomes a friend of the family. I'm sure Eva would understand her husband seeking someone else and moving on with his life, not knowing she was still alive. Knowing the whole story, I would hope Nora would understand too.

It's just one of those things that some fans might expect to get a mention of, but didn't. KAA didn't even mention anything about the Hork-Bajir rebellion, and had Tobi and her group stay on Earth for some reason. And Toby was somehow elected into congress.

[Astarte]

Knowing her character, it'd be hard to see what they'd both do. For one thing, Peter would be aware of Marco's lie, and forced to choose between both women. If Nora really loved Peter, it would be hard to let him go. It's the kind of thing that could drive a family apart, so her dying seems, well, the easy way out. At least in terms of storytelling, which is why the end seemed so rush. It took the easy way out.

Yeah, I know. Why didn't they go back to their world? They could have helped rebuild it.

[Chad32]

Pages used to talk about The One could have been used to further tie up loose ends like Nora, but oh well. That didn't happen.

I don't know why they didn't go back. they had a planet that, despite being ravaged by Yeerks, we can be sure it's still habitable by Hork-Bajir. I don't know why they stayed in Yellowstone park, and the idea of Toby in congress is just too ridiculous to really comment on.

[Astarte]

I know. Oh, the tragedy of it all...

Sure, it was pretty much raped by the Yeerks and all that, but it can repaired, can't it? Imagine how great the ending would have been if Quafijinivon wasn't supposed to die in 300 days, but actually lived? The trees were created by his people, and with new Hork-Bajir, shouldn't it be easier to fix what had happened? Toby could have been the leader of it all. The final insult to them staying in Yellowstone is that, few people know this, but it's an active supervolcano. The last time it erupted was 600,000 years ago, and while it might not happen in this century, it could erupt any time time. Any time meaning any century within the next millennium. But imagine that, a new, strong, central colony of Hork-Bajir thriving well and prospering in Yellowsotne, only to be the first casualties when the darn thing blows up. One more generous contribution on behalf of the human race. Also, I agree, I certainly couldn't see Congress letting aliens joining them, and that was back in the days when Congress actually functioned as a collective whole that worked for the greater good. If it couldn't work when it wasn't filled to the brim with crazy, uncooperative, dysfunctional lunatics, then it sure couldn't work now.

[Chad32]

I'm not sure how a volcano that hasn't erupted in 600,000 years could still be considered active, but I have heard it's a super volcano. It just seems like a weird decision on KAA's part.

     Capnnerefir's Neomorphs (which I have referred to many times before, almost to the point of sounding annoying) Peter had a bigamist relationship between Eva and Nora.

[pallosalama]

I suppose Nora was just side character, so she didn't really deserve end explanation.

But thinking about possible outcomes,
-She could have died
-If she really was controller the whole time, she might not have been very eager to go tell about it to Peter
-She knew that Eva was still alive, so she didn't meet them to not cause any problems

I pretty sure in 35 they mentioned that they staked out Nora to insure that she wasn't a controller. When Marco said that she may always have been in 45, I think that was either a lie, or a KASU.

As for not finding them just because she knew about Nora, well that'd be sweet of her, but in my experience love is more jealous than that

I agree, Marco would have wanted to know that kind of thing as soon as possible. He either lied about it, or the ghostwriter got something wrong.
