MinorLieutenant Vesta's bald head gleams under pulsing blue lines, her face a placid mask of distant focus. There's an otherworldly calm to her, like a machine wrapped in human skin. You sense the synaptic hum beneath, precise and unyielding.

Though her role is fleeting, Vesta’s death crystallizes the fragility of the Blues’ contributions and the human cost of the rebellion’s victories.
