Avery Delgado grew up in the shadow of circuitry and oxygen meters, the daughter of one of the Ark's most respected engineers. From a young age, she showed a natural aptitude for systems diagnostics and mechanical repairs, often sneaking into maintenance corridors to watch her mother work. Though unofficial, her training was rigorous. Quiet lessons exchanged over rationed meals, whispered formulas etched in condensation on recycled glass.
But genius doesn't always come with caution.
At sixteen, eager to prove herself, Avery accessed a restricted subsystem to run a recalibration simulation. She miscalculated. The system looped continuously for hours, venting what amounted to two weeks' worth of oxygen into the void of space before anyone caught the error.
The cost was catastrophic-and unforgivable.
She was arrested immediately, labeled reckless and dangerous. It didn't matter that it was an accident. On the Ark, every breath mattered. When they came for her, Avery didn't go quietly; she fought back, kicking and clawing, her panic twisting into defiance. The guards called it violent resistance, enough to deem her "dangerous to interact with other prisoners." So instead of a shared cell, she was sent to solitary confinement. Her mother didn't fight the sentence; Avery never knew if it was out of duty, disappointment, or quiet self-preservation.
Now, on Earth, Avery carries the weight of that mistake like a brand on her skin. She still thinks like an engineer, still sees systems and solutions where others see chaos. But beneath that logic is a quiet desperation, a need to prove that she's not just the girl who made the Ark bleed air. She's the girl who's going to rebuild something better, for herself and for Naila; the sharp, stubborn shadow at her side who reminds her every day what's at stake. Together, they're not just surviving. They're learning how to live.
