Polygame Play

A murder has been committed on an innocent civilian on Planet Zirciania. And not just any civilian, but a friend of Telthona. As she is devastated, the Heroes Act decide to help her track down their killer. Meanwhile, Hawkens and Stephanie have been having problems with their relationship that spur from Hawkens being too ignorant and ungrateful to his own girlfriend after how much she does for her, being offered nothing in return. Later on, she meets a group of Paradisoids called The Polygame Perches, who are a secret organization whose sole purpose is to emphasize polygamy and rid the AUU of the concept of cheating on people because they feel that it's too restrictive and corrupts people. Thus they invited hundreds of females into their organization until they should inevitably declare polygamy legal on all worlds. When asked to join, Stephanie is reluctant, but when another hero mission which Stephanie has a huge assisting hand in goes too far when Hawkens STILL refuses to give her credit and even takes the credit himself, she agrees and begins to cheat on him. When this ends up biting her, the Perchers reveal their true malicious nature as they refuse to let her quit as it would lead to the risk of their organization's exposure, and threatens to wreak serious consequences on her if she doesn't cheat on Hawkens. It's later revealed that they were responsible for the murder of Telthona's friend as she used to be a member, and tries to warn her until massive PP members apprehend her and try to murder her. With her going missing, Hawkens gets the Lodgers to try and look for her before the Perchers kill her.
