I think we can't forget J squared connection here. Jan is called the "walkaway girl". How do you think she earned that nickname? Probably because she has a high profile father who continually uses his power and influence to bust her out of hard places.

Further, why would the MPs tell the cops about the jump? I agree it's odd that the MPs just drop Jan in police custody, but I think that may be evidence of political manueverings in the chain of command. Someone wanted Jan to be analyzed, and the best lab was in the police station.

As to the weird way the cop acts, I don't think he was going for straight intimidation. The cop seems to be trying to unsettle Jan by constantly shifting tone. One second he's being confessory, the next he's being hostile. I just think he's trying to shake Jan's self-control so she can't beat the quiz.

The reason she was in the military base to begin with was to help bail out Dwaynes dad. Dwayne had taken his dads gate pass, and he, and a few other high-schoolers, went and stole a military transport (Razorback class) and went and drove it into a ditch while joyriding. If it was that gate pass that was found to be the problem, Dwaynes dad would have been in big trouble, so she went to sneak it back into the base - unfortunately, the alarms went off due to the power outage, and the guards noticed her.

Yes, she has ninja skills, but she was in there just to help out a fellow ordinary high-school friend. Her methods may have been sneaky, but she was largely innocent, so they let the ordinary police handle it. Plus, Dwayne's dad recognized her, and probably found out that she was there to bail him out anyway - he's likely in a barrel of trouble, but she was trying to help him. Her heart is in the right place, if not her brain.

Listen to the full story in order here. - And for the last time, YES, these are in the right order. There is no other order that they could possibly go in without causing errors and glitches in the sound that would break continuity.

Although a stretch, I think it is believable.

If you 'follow' her in her flight, she is just by he motor pool (not some super secret area) and runs up to the roof, jumps down and is caught. Minus the three story jump not all that exciting of a getaway. The MP picks her up and questions her. As she tells them (per the PQI segments) that she was there on a dare (Dwayne's Dad is there perhaps and she still is trying to protect him). Nothing is stolen and no one killed. Heck she even has a legitimate reason for having access to the base (if not that particular area). They take her to the Police station to do the tests as the final part of the booking process. JJ pulls some strings and gets release papers for Jan and discovered that (horror) they have taken her off base to get blood/urine work done. He rushes of to get her (probably organizing the 'cleanup' with his Unit on the way) and picks her up just as the PQI is getting interesting.

The bit that stands out for me is:

Good Questions, let me SPEC on it

I'm not saying that the MP would be concerned over her trespassing, but instead how she achieved her trespassing.

Sneaking over a fence is no big deal, but disappearing from surveillance, hiding on the ceiling and jumping down three stories without injury. That would spawn some investigation.

Then again, they do refer to her as the walkaway girl. That would imply that they know of her. What do we think about that?

Jan is sent to the police station by the MPs because they want tests run on her after seeing what she can do. It seems that the cop interrogating her has no idea about her walljumping antics, and is simply told that she was trespassing on the base.

Jan's dad later comes along and berates himself for not 'containing' the situation - ie, not managing to get there in time to take Jan from the MPs custody before they delivered her to the police. The cops don't know anything about her abilities, but they may find out from the results of their testing.

She's fairly obviously part of some sort of special project, of which "James" is a supervisor/leader of some sort, and the MPs didn't know any better so they sent her to a civilian lab for testing. Obviously if she's part of some covert experiment the military would want to keep that a secret, which is why James takes her back into custody and burns down the police station.

I agree it spawned some investigation. But that investigation is then halted or redirected by shadowy higher ups in the chain of command. The matter is dropped, though base gossip is taken up with the "supergirl" for the next few days.

I don't think that the MPs meant "walkaway girl" to mean "physically superadroit", otherwise why would they be so surprised as she continually evades pursuit.

Meanwhile, events might be manipulated so Jan gets dropped off at the PD for a simple blood and urine test. The MPs are told that she could be drunk or on drugs. But, in actuallity, *someone* wants to figure out what Jan is.

JJ arranges the PD fire and AI blanking to destroy the results of the blood and urine test.
