the uss hephaestus is a ghost ship. it’s rotting from the inside. the ghosts of the hephaestus are so numerous that they have an order of operations. it’s haunted and no ghost belongs to it more than isabel lovelace. she is haunting the ship but she is haunted by her crewmates. around every corner she hears fisher’s laugh, sees fourier duck into her quarters, tastes the bitter tang of selberg’s experiments in the air. all of these things exist on the ship but they come from her head. and lovelace, she is part of the ship. her voice is literally wired in. when the Hephaestus dies, it’s her voice that plays out through the station. speaking to the next crew of individuals sacrificed by goddard, speaking to the damned. sometimes a haunting is a story left untold. sometimes it’s a dream unfulfilled. and sometimes it’s the force of a person too driven, too stubborn, too powerful to be constrained by the line between life and death. she is both alive and dead. part of her walks the halls of the ship and part of her speaks from within the walls, begging herself to remember what she is there for. begging herself not to change. begging herself to keep the fury, and by extension, the memory of isabel lovelace, alive.
