Summary
Trainee Sue, wearing her Grays, is thrown into a chaotic, high-stakes emergency: Kurj's ship is critically failing in an Ork-infested node. Operating with fierce, developing competence, Sue proves her worth not just through instinct, but through skill. She deploys her Whatsits for tactical defense and uses stabilizing empathic threads to cut through the chaos. She guides a bewildered Kurj to safety, demonstrating the flawless control that will define the Empress Ascendent. This technical rescue proves she can anchor the Lifebond with skill, not just fate, and it happens immediately before their final commitment is made. She successfully stabilizes the zone and completes the extraction, cementing her status as a capable protector.
