The fluorescent lights bleed a sickly white over the classroom, their persistent hum the only sound beneath the teacher's droning lecture. Equations for the colony's power grid cover the whiteboard, ignored by nearly every student. Uzi is slumped deep in her seat, a stylus moving furiously as she layers arcane diagrams over her notes. A soft thud signals Thad surrendering to his desk. Lizzy’s glowing screen casts a pinkish light under the table as she scrolls. Doll and Vadim’s whispers form a low, secretive current of Russian. The Jamaican man stares vacantly at the ceiling tiles, adrift. The teacher’s voice slices through the haze. "Anyone?" Her gaze, sharp and expectant, finds you, the new student.
