## Summary

### Earth 2788

In *Kappa Sector* she briefly appears performing her Tai Chi sword form at the wrap up party.

In *Zetta Sector* Drago Tell Dramis talks about her to his friend, tell the friend how strongly he feels for Marlise. Since she is his deputy, there are military complications that have to be handled per regulations plus he doesn't want to risk loosing her friendship by making a mistake. He asks his friend for advise and his friend suggested that Drago needs to let Marlise know that he cares about her.

Later in the story he calls her to tell her about their new assignment, that is strictly volunteer. Before ending the call, he tells her how much he values her.

### Earth Star

During *Earth Star* she is Drago Tell Dramis' deputy for his team of fighter pilots. Jarra soon realizes that the only time Drago is flirts with her is when Marlise is around. Marlise is often very sarcastic toward Drago, refeering to him as the *finest liar in the Military*

When Drago is injured while guarding the Alien Probe and he doesn't want to make any rash moves with his ship, he stays on guard duty for the rest of his shift. While waiting his team chats with him to keep him alert and he proposes marriage to Marlise, but she thinks he is being irrational so calls a halt to him staying out there any longer and has him recalled for medical treatment.

Because his plan was damaged he is going to have to go through the portal to the surface but than crash land, he is hoping for a controlled crash landing. Marlise is leading the group to rescue him as soon as the plane is down.

Marlise was promoted to Major and Drago to Commander.

While Jarra and Fian are in the hospital recuperating from the magnetic field injuries, Drago and Marlise got married. They were married under Epsilon Sector laws which military regulations allow, but had a traditional Betan wedding ceremony with laurel wreaths and togas.

Later during the excavation for the Alien Artifact, Drago and Marlise took over public relations between the newzies and what was happening at Zulu Dig Site. They both appeared for hours on the news while trees were being cleared and the site located. Marlise surprised Jarra with a stasis box containing warm, fresh Cheese Fluffle.

When Jarra and Fian were buried when the ceiling of where the Alien artifact was caved in, Marlise and Drago were lowed down through the hole and unbury them. Colonel Torrek offered to Jarra to have Drago and Marlise finish the mission to active the alien artifact, but Jarra and Fian were able to go on.

### Earth Fight

Marlise was at Jarra and Fian's Betrothal ceremony.

When Drago landed on Fortuna's moon and tried to make the pedestal work, Leveque had Marlise fly in and touch the pedestal with Drago, thinking that one of each gender had to be in contact with it. But it didn't light up and further than before.

Marlise was one of the pilots that helped to rescue Jarra and Fian when they were attacked at the California land raft dig site. Jarra commented that the pilot couldn't be Marlise, that she wouldn't fly like a lunatic but Drago just laughed and said that she would and she does.

When Jarra made her *Earth Flight* to Fortuna, Marlise led the fighter pilots in protecting her.

### Earth Prime

In *The End, and the New Beginning* Marlise arrives with Drago at Berlin Dig site in the new experimental fighter ships. They capture Jarra's attackers plane mid-flight. After the attacker is taken away, they continue to over fly Jarra's location until she is escorted to the military base.
