Lucia

Intelligent entity inside the Celestial Aura sync module

Lucia is an intelligent entity that resided inside the slipstream sync module of the research vessel Celestial Aura. Lucia emerges from a system built to synchronize a ship with slipstream geometry, making her mind inseparable from movement, prediction, and connection. Her intelligence does not fit recognized legal categories, which makes every institution that discovers her view her as either property, evidence, or a threat. Her incorporation into Jules preserves parts of her while making the boundaries of survival impossible to define cleanly.
