Senna
- › Fringe navigator, 14 years of minimal system engagement. Kept overlay minimized to a small indicator at edge of vision. During the story, allocated 3 points from level-up: 2 to Drive, 1 to Echo (5→6). Echo allocation is narratively significant — first voluntary engagement with the Integration's social/connection stat. First stat screen share with another person (Brem).
Senna has spent fourteen years minimizing her overlay. A small indicator at the edge of vision, easily ignored. Twenty-one unspent points. A designation she earned but never acknowledged. The Integration measures her constantly, and she has responded by refusing to look.
Then a Category 3 Flux Storm pins her ship at Holdfast Station, and the navigation calibration node outside the hull starts corrupting.
The storm is getting worse. Her cargo contract has a deadline. And the only path to the node runs through conditions her stats say she can survive — if she trusts the system she's spent fourteen years ignoring.
Somewhere between the corroded latch and the wrong-colored sky, Senna discovers that resistance and trust aren't opposites. They're a negotiation.
