Greetings happy readers. Thanks for being here.
I have portrayed the Tarsan movement in very negative ways. They were for a time a dark and sinister movement among the human race. They have since matured and are now highly regarded as spiritual teachers and guides.
Even during their darkest hours they actually did provide some good to the human race. Historians now think that a preoccupation with the Tarsans prevented the SID from keeping their eyes on things. The SID was caught totally unawares and unprepared for the opening of the Galaxy.
Perhaps they would have caught Max Gavaskar in Salmo if they hadn’t been so worried about the Tarsan movement. History would certainly be a different story if the SID had chased down Max and arrested her when they had the chance.
At the time the SID was quite concerned about two things. The Harappan underground, noteably the Harappan Free Army (the HFA) and the Tarsans. There was also the Paladin Society but the SID had concluded for themselves that the Pals weren’t much of a threat. The Pals, thought the SID, were more interested in cultural restoration than they were in revolution. If just a few Harappan customs were allowed to survive the Pals would go along. At least that’s what the SID thought.
Their focus then, became stopping the HFA and the Tarsans. Agent Gary Meyer worked diligently on these projects. He was also given the assingment to find and arrest a Harappan college student named Melanie Gavaskar. At first he sent the assingment to a friend of his in the Agency Pool. This friend sent an agent who was not a trained lawperson. Her incompetance allowed our little Max to remain in Salmo on Lava for some time without detection. When that agent got close she was eliminated as a threat by friends of Max.
Meyer still chose to keep his focus on his work against the HFA and the Tarsans and sent one of his subordinates to arrest the Harappan girl. That agent failed too. If Gary Meyer had not been distracted by the Tarsans and the HFA he may have been after Max himself back then. If he had gone after her before she was able to build a suport group around herself who knows what would have happened? Meyer only failed to get his target once.
Never mix red wine and Oodo.
