About
Protagonist of The Outer Run (POV across all five books). First Navigator of the commercial survey vessel NV Karl Vidar Pedersen since 2141. The franchise's commercial-side counterweight to Idris Fasola's institutional anchor — the reader experiences the SNG-licensed commercial layer of the Seam-traversal era through her. Her arc is not coming-of-age (she is 47 at series open) but the arc of a senior professional learning that twenty years of clean logs and quiet tolerance for the institution's small wrongnesses has been a structural vote.
