Elara Vega Koch-Williams is an astronaut. She's also the mother of two girls Kathryn, Katie, Koch and Astra, Az, Koch. Elara is the little sister of Robert Koch. She's the sister-in-law to fellow astronaut and mission partner Christina Koch. Elara's husband Jake is deployed, but when he's not... let's just say he's a real piece of work.

Snippets of moments between Christina Koch and my OC Andromeda Smith (who may appear again if I do anything else sci-(non-fi)) as they prep for the now landed Artemis II mission to orbit the moon and as they are on the ship. *No disrespect to the inspiring Christina Koch or her husband. I completely respect their happy marriage and her sexuality. I'm just trying to get through life, man.*

As a former biology student, taking astrophysics was pure madness. But what began as an impulsive choice soon turned out to be Lucy's discovery of her fascination with the universe - and with her professor, Dr. Koch. Between equations she barely understands and a world she never thought she belonged to, Lucy finds herself drawn deeper into both science and something she cannot quite name. Because some distances are measurable. Others are forbidden.

You are a successful Commander and have just been relocated to a new space station, where you meet her. Christina Koch. You both don't see eye to eye. She does not respect you and hates that you are in a "higher" position than her. But things start to change... slowly but surely.
