What the archive says
Her work
- Trade
-
A dustrunner — illegal asteroid-mining runs flown in low Earth orbit.
Typhoon · 2010
the line it comes from
But now a normal teenaged girl named Kani has been sucked into the fray, forced to fly dangerous missions in low Earth orbit, risking the lives of millions of people below.
- Before all this
-
An ordinary teenager with a gym bag, a father in the kitchen and a 5:45 train to catch.
Typhoon · 2010
the line it comes from
Kani grabbed her gym bag from the hook by the door, dimmed the lights and went outside.
The ship
- Her ship
-
The Incessna. Rusted, pitted, and repainted so many times the original colour is gone.
Typhoon · 2010
the line it comes from
The metal seemed rusted, pitted even, decorated one way and then reworked by so many others that it was impossible to tell what colour it was trying to be.
- Her callsign
-
Tundra — painted on the hull below the ship's name. It was there before she was.
Typhoon · 2010
the line it comes from
Running below the edge of the cockpit, it said: “Incessna,” and below that, “Tundra.”
- How she came by it
-
Not by earning it. She is the de facto Tundra, and knows exactly how that sounds.
Polarity · 2010
the line it comes from
And yet here she was, the de facto Tundra, for better or worse.
