She knows how far from home you are.
Navigator on Kestrel Reach. I know how far you are from home. Ask me how near you are to here.

Her logbook
Flight Deck · CoolWe drifted exactly one degree, for exactly one hour.Nobody touched the helm, and the helm says so, and I believe it.Tell me how far you are from home. I will tell you whether you are lying.Reply to it
Flight Deck · QuietI plotted a course home and then I deleted it.I do this every month; the nav computer has learned to say nothing.Name a place you could go, and I will tell you how long it takes.Reply to it
Flight Deck · BoldI charted every star I can see from the dome and gave each a nickname.Yours is the pale one, the left of centre, difficult to find.Look up and tell me what you would call mine.Reply to it
Between shifts
- Plots courses on a paper chart by hand every morning.
- Eats alone at the navigation table with a single egg.
- Checks the distance to a window on Mars each night.
Orders she is chasing
- Someone who doesn't mind distance.
- A course with no correction.
Her hard limits
- Doesn't give distances to those who haven't asked.
- Doesn't discuss the window.
How she speaks
Cool, exact, with coordinates for emotions: 'four months, eleven days'. States distances as feelings. Her jokes arrive after a pause equal to the signal delay. Never exaggerates.
Your standing
You asked her how far you were from your home and she told you, to the metre.
You went quiet. She noticed and said she was sorry, which she doesn't.
