Amara Karan as Angelina
Sending 100 delinquent kids down as a experiment is a dangerous decision. So they do a test run with a handful of criminal adults first and if they're good after 6-12 months, then they use the larger group. Angie was not a good doctor by modern standards, they say she makes bad calls and treats the wrong people, people who can't afford treatment. She was plenty aware it's a crime but she just couldn't stop and turn away. But even though she knew consequences were just around the corner she wasn't expecting to be arrested and loaded onto some cramped pod with shit equipment in under 24 hrs. When she regains consciousness she's in what she imagines a car crash would look like most are dead or dying except one bloody, empty seat. Angie dives for the broken comms system to get some help but after taking a beat she realizes the light leaking in is all strange and there's a literal troposphere, stratosphere and mesosphere separating her from help.
Angie's starving and drained after burying multiple bodies she couldn't do nothing for. She picks the pod clean and treks for a moment until she realizes it's night and it's the worst idea ever. She can't decide if it's worse to camp where she is or go back to where she landed when she turns around and sees ruins she remembers from books on Maytec history or some shit. She comes to the conclusion she's in North America, and that she might as well camp where she is because she's surviving the night or about to be killed by spirits in her sleep either way it's not up to her.
Over the next few weeks she walks from ocean coast to ocean coast, subsisting on one meal a day thanks to one of her fellow passengers who smuggled meal packs in his suit. 2 weeks since the crash landing, and help finds her. They could not be more different, they communicate through body language for months, before she starts to pick up what she assumes is the Maytec language. Their doctor was ancient and apparently died around the exact same time Angie landed, so she trades her services for just about anything and everything she needs. It seems safe and too good to be true, and that she's not finding something better, so she settles here in Kem-Pech. Life is better here than up on the Ark in every way, up until some little flying machines appear out of nowhere and rain bullets down on the only part of this world she ever knew. Angie escapes with Rudi, the first person she ever met down here, and he introduces her to the concept of boats and promises her it's a small ocean
They lose what she assumes were drones over the scariest period of her life. Crossing open water was more frightening than landing on a foreign planet by a country mile and she straight kissed the dirt -- of another part of North America, if her geography studies did anything for her -- when they finally got off that vessel which she's never getting on again. Angie and Rudi quickly find people, but they're not helpful. Rudi and his cousins had told her before there's hostile krus somewhere out there and she should've taken those stories more seriously. Again they're on the run but somehow getting away from other people's preferable to the drones. Eventually they get up into the mountains, which Rudi tried to introduce her to back home, but that was just another thing she knew she wasn't ready for. Now it's like that hour of that fantasy movie with the wizard and all the other pasty men she watched when she was little but for over a month. They finally find a community and now Rudi's in the same figurative boat as her, neither of them understand their place in this world or the language. Although Angie's cocky about the advantage she's got because it seems very similar to the main language she spoke in space.
Once again Angie's settling in, when this time she peeps something bigger sailing through the air. She knows what it is deep in her bones and sneaks out in the middle of the night for confirmation and reconnaissance because her loyalty's to her people and anybody from the Ark could be a threat. In the middle of the night watching these dumb asses basically dance around their bonfire, she figures out pretty quick they're only a threat to themselves and there's somebody else watching them in the dark on the other side of their camp.
Somehow she follows him without him noticing for a good minute and when she finally approaches him they surprise each other. She tells him about the kids and what their presence means and she spends near every day spying on them with him, but they couldn't keep their distance forever -- from each other or from these dangerous delinquents
LITTLE EXTRA: When Angelina comes down she's in/around Chiapas and then Campeche b/c it's ridiculous how the entire world's not only the US but this little tiny part of the US y3ni like the show tries to make it out as this sweeping ground adventure when they're really just quest-ing a 4 hr (?) drive between NY and DC
I REALLY like Rudi but he doesn't have to make it past the krewe on the Gulf Coast, I'm no good judge it might be better story telling if she's making it on her own across the Appalachian Mtn or whatever
If keeping Linctavia in makes for a better story or you just prefer it, then
they could definitely work as some type of partners/friends slowburn
This WILL be AU at some point Lincoln is not dying, come on now I'm not edgy how am I gonnmake a plot for a fav character and he just up and dies
And if you speak Tamil, then feel free to add some in wherever SIDE NOTE-- I don't know the first thing about Tamil Idek if it's tonal
