Priyanka Archarya

**Priyanka** is described as having brown skin, long legs, curly black hair, metallic-rimmed cats'-eyeglasses, full brows, high, slanted cheekbones, and wide eyes. She cares deeply for Roman and Zu and is usually very humorous. She has a romance prior to the book: her girlfriend was Roman Volkov's sister, Lana. Priya loves Lana and at one point in the book describes her heart like a wheel: "it breaks all the damn time but it always seems to keep rolling." She likes to make fun of Roman for almost anything and is never afraid to speak her mind.

## Childhood

Originally from New Delhi, India, Priyanka was born an only child. Her father left to find work in the US after she was born and she ended up being raised by her mother. As her father became a big crime boss in the US, he hired a private jet to fly Priya and her mother to America. The day before their departure, Priya's mother was killed in a car accident, and Priya went to the US alone. After arriving in the states, Priyanka was kidnapped by Mercer to be used for ransom to force her father out of the crime business. Instead of trying to save Priya, he showed up on television the next day and said, "I am mourning the loss of my beloved Priyanka", claiming she died of IAAN. She then worked for Mercer until she was 18 when she finally escaped with Roman.

## Powers

Because of Jonathan Wendall and Gregory Mercer experiments she became a Hacker, which in laymen terms means she is a technopath. She can use this power to alter programming, retrieve information, and shut down security measures. A side effect of these powers is that after using them too much, her adrenaline spikes and she risks having a stroke unless treated with proper medication.
Light-Controlled LED

Project Number: 74

OBJECTIVE: To control an LED using light.

Description: Cover the unit, turn the slide switch (S1) on, and notice that the LED (D1) is on for a few seconds and then goes off. Place the unit near a light and the LED will light. Cover the photoresistor (RP) and place it near the light again. The LED will not turn on. The resistance of the photoresistor decreases as the light increases.
Red LED

The LED (D1) is a light emitting diode, and may be thought of as a special one-way light bulb. In the "forward" direction (indicated by the "arrow" in the symbol) electricity flows if the voltage exceeds a turn on threshold (about 1.5V); brightness increases. A high current will burn out the LED, so the current must be limited by other components in the circuit. LED's block electricity in the "reverse" direction.
PSFs

**PSFs,**or **Psi Special Forces** was a new branch of USA's military, and meant solely for helping out at some rehabilitation camps and keeping the Psi in their place. When the American military became mandatory for adults, most people chose to become a PSF and torture the kids.

## Outfits

PSFs wear all black uniforms, and the psi symbol is stitched onto their uniform at all times. They are constantly armed with guns, a White Noise machine, and a device that can identify psi.

## At Thurmond

At Thurmond, psi are not aloud to look at a PSF, or speak to them unless spoken to first. PSFs are allowed to harrass the kids and rough them up a bit, but not to the point of a serious, physical harm. a PSF named Tildon usually harrassed girls by getting them flustered and then punishing them for their reaction. When the PSF count when down while they prepared for the move, Reds took their posts and positions.

Pat

Pat was a former member of East River and would become a part of a tribe with Tommy and three other kids. The three other kids would ditch Tommy and Pat, and the pair would go on to become a part of Hina's tribe. He would be found and taken with the Children's League agents to The Ranch. He would play a major factor in the destruction of Oasis.
Sawtooth

Sawtooth was one of the red rehabilitation camps in the United States. The camp was located in Idaho, and the exact number of psi, and layout of the camp was unknown. Sawtooth originally started as an experimental camp to conduct tests on the reds since they were pretty rare. A few years after it started, Clancy Gray used his abilities to kick start Project Jamboree in the camp. Reds would later be pulled from either Sawtooth or another red camp to be guards at Thurmond towards the end of its lifespan as Project Cardinal approached.
Oasis

Oasis is one of the smallest of the rehabilitation camps created by President Gray, and housed roughly forty children, all presumed to be yellow, green, or blue.. The camp was used as a holding facility for top government officials kids, so that they could be easily managed. It was the first camp officially closed by the Children's League since it was a smaller camp. When the kids were removed, the eldest was fourteen years old, and the youngest was nine. All of them had their heads shaved, and were extremely skinny.
Rob Meadows

## Biography

### *The Darkest Minds*

Rob is a Children's League agent who is sent to an unnamed rehabilitation camp to find reds, oranges and possibly yellows in the camp. Though it is never specifically stated which camp he is sent to, it could be narrowed down to one of the camps in the vicinity of Thurmond, most likely the New York camp. He successful in finding two kids amongst the prisoners, but he shoots them both and throws their bodies in a dumpster in the camp. He is successful in leaving the camp, and heads towards Marlinton West Virginia to meet up with his girlfriend Catherine Connor at a gas station that no longer works. Like Rob she is able to find two kids in the camp she was sent to Thurmond, and unlike Rob she doesn't kill the kids and brings them with her.

While at the gas station he gives advice to Martin and Ruby Daly, the two kids who Cate rescued, and catch's Ruby when she trips. Ruby, who's powers allow her to access the memories of anyone she touches, sees what happened to the two kids Rob was supposed to rescue and deduces that Rob was probably going to kill her and Martin.

Rob sends the kids inside to change, and advises them to not drink the water inside the building. Unbenost to him, Ruby saw his memories and snuck out the back. When he eventually realizes Ruby had left he, Martin and Cate follow after Ruby who had jumped into the back of a van, and followed after them.

### *Never Fade*

Rob leads an Op to break Cole Stewart out of prison. During the raid, he sets off a grenade in an attempt to kill Vida and Ruby.

Throughout the book, inside the Los Angeles Base, he is seen arguing with other agents and being cruel to the kids. When Ruby and Jude get assigned to a new Op, which is really an opportunity for Ruby to find Liam Stewart. They give Rob and the other agents the slip and they get recalled back to headquarters with a lot of chastisement.

Later in the book, Rob tracks Ruby and Jude down, to where they are trying to move Liam out of a camp of nefarious blue. He forces her into an ability-stifling muzzle. However, she breaks through and tortures him to make him pay for all the lives he's ruined. He's killed soon after when his car gets hit by a tree that Vida threw at him.
Ashley

Ashley was a green who was rounded up in the early days of the rehabilitation camps system. She was sent to Thurmond and was assigned to cabin 27. Because she arrived a year after the camp was opened, she was able to escape the experiments that kids who had arrived earlier had endured. Since Ashley was one of the older girls in the cabin, she was considered a leader amongst the girls. She would live six and a half years in the camp before she was murdered by the PSFs of her camp. Presumably she died in the kitchen or dining hall, since she had been pulled from her usual work assignment and had been sent there to work, and none of the others were allowed to eat in the dining hall that night.
Rehabilitation Camps

**Rehabilitation camps** were created primarily to house and experiment on the psi people. Rehabilitation camps differed from detention camps since the rehabilitation camps took the psi while detention camps took human prisoner's. The first camp created was Thurmond, and was the largest camp established.

A couple only yellow camps were established, though they were allowed in a few camps with greens and blues. Reds were segregated into red only camps for further experimentation. There were fifteen confirmed camps running at the time of the events of Never Fade. Most of the camps would be formed in the beginning and by the time of the first book most of the camps had been established. The camps were spread out across the United States, but were more concentrated toward the East Coast. Each one varied in size, layout, number of occupants, and which colors were housed. Some camps, such as Thurmond and Black Rock, were also used for experimentation on the psi to determine the cause and effects of IAAN or collect data for a cure.

Camp Controllers were put in charge of managing the Psi Special Forces, also known as PSFs, and psi people, which they did through a variety of means. The controllers were very focused on keeping the psi youths contained and did not adhere to laws or ethicality, and as a result the prisoners were universally subjected to various levels of cruelty and abuse. Punishments included beatings, isolation, or Calm Control.

PSF policy dictates that kids be returned to the original camp they were processed through. It is unknown how many went through the camp system, but there were at least 42755 people, since that is Liam Stewart Id number, and he went in a year before the camp system was shut down. The Children's League brought an end to the camp program by raiding Thurmond, which soon led to the total termination of all camps and the freedom of the prisoners.
Hayes

Hayes is a blue and is one of the three creators of East River, along with Clancy Gray and Olivia. He would work for years at the camp, and felt betrayed when Clancy betrayed East River.

He‘s described as bigger than Clancy, who repeatedly using referred to him in unflattering terms like ‘meatloaf’ and ‘meathead’. It’s hinted when Hayes and Olivia might have had feelings for each other, but ultimately revealed that Clancy'd influenced them. The last scene with Hayes is just before the destruction of East River, when Clancy controls him to try and subdue Liam. There are no details about him later and it is unconfirmed as to whether or not he is alive after the events at East River (*The Darkest Minds*).
IAAN

**IAAN**or **Idiopathic Adolescent Acute Neurodegeneration** is a fatal disease that swept through America and killed 98 percent of America's youth. It was formally named Everhart's disease, after Michael Everhart, the first victim to fall into the clasp of IAAN. It is known to affect children around the ages of puberty (8-14).

## Symptoms

There weren't certain symptoms to IAAN, except sudden death, where the vicitm gain hyperfocus and then falls to the ground dead. Survivors recieved psionic abilities, which were referred to as symptoms from PSFs.

## Cause

The Cause of IAAN was Agent Ambrosia, where the US government entered a certain chemical into the water and food supplies in order to prevent any terrorist attacks. Pregnant women, men, and children were all tested on for results of this chemical, but when nothing came up they dropped the case. But the the children born after the chemical release were the ones affected. The pregnant mothers consumed the water, yet the children were the ones affected. The reason that so many died was because the pregnant mothers consumed too much of the chemical, and their child couldn't take it. The cause for different psionic abilities was genes.
Jonathan Wendall

Jonathan Wendall is a doctor who once worked for Leda Corps. He would quit around the time the rehabilitation camps were closed. Wendall would join up with Gregory Mercer. He would experiment on the children that Mercer had collected over the years with Agent Ambrosia. Thanks to the chaos of the camp system closing down and many people coming into the country, Mercer was able to get his hands on actual psi children. He targeted unclaimed children whose lack of family members made them easy to disappear. Wendall took his knowledge and made a concoction that would grant a human psi abilities.

By the time Roman Volkov and Priyanka Acharya left Blue Star, only four of the human children he was testing on survived and he was able to create at least four different subgroups of psi, mirror, limits, fishers and hackers,
Alice

Alice was a member of Amplify.

## Biography

Alice joins Amplify sometime after its creation. At one point Liam Stewart finds her and brings her to Oasis to take pictures of the closure of the camp, mush to the dismay of the help the Children's League agents on the rescue attempt. After the camp is closed, she is taken to The Ranch. At the ranch she create's a series of video's to reveal the stories of some of the League Agents and some of Suzume (Zu) Kimura's tribe.

Zu reveals what happens during the events of In Time and Alice and the rest are shocked to hear what happened to Gabe. Alice eventually releases the videos and where all of the camps were, and which psi was in each rehabilitation camp.

When the camp's were finally closed, Alice travels with everyone in the League to the hotel where Lillian Gray and Anabel Cruz have sent up a press conference. When Ruby Daly leaves the meeting before it is finished, she offers to talk with the girl about her time at Thurmond.
Through The Dark

***Through the Dark*** is a collection of stories set in the world of the **Darkest Minds Series** by Alexandra Bracken.

## Synopsis

### In Time

Gabe's life has been devastated in the wake of the economic crash. The only option left for someone like him to escape his tragic past is to leave his small town behind and to attempt to become a skip-tracer. This already almost-impossible task is made all the more difficult by his first "score,"a young girl who won't speak, but who changes his life in ways he could never imagine.

### Sparks Rise

Sam didn't think things could get worse at Thurmond rehabilitation camp. Then the Reds arrive. Everyone assumed the kids with firepower had been killed years ago. Instead they were taken away, brainwashed, and returned as terrifyingly effective guards. To her horror, Sam recognizes one of them: Lucas Orfeo, the one spark of light in Sam's dark childhood. Lucas has a deadly secret--he beat the brutal training that turned his fellow Reds into mindless drones. When Sam defends herself against an attack by a vile PSF guard and faces a harrowing punishment, Lucas must risk everything to save her.

### Beyond the Night

The government-run "rehabilitation camps" have been shut down, but kids with Psi powers are anything but free. Sam would rather be on her own than put in the care of a foster family and given the "cure"--a dangerous procedure that unclaimed kids across the country are being forced to undergo. But there's more at stake than just her own safety. Sam once made someone a promise, and the time has come to fulfill it. Now that she's out of her camp, Sam only has one thought in her head: Find Mia and Lucas Orfeo, and sing Lucas home to Greenwood once again.

Black Betty is a twenty year old black van with the words "Betty J Cleaning Service", written on the side in white. Its stolen by Suzume (Zu) Kimura, Charles (Chubs) Meriwether, Liam Stewart after they escaped from Caledonia. The trio would travel from Ohio into West Virginia where they would pick up Ruby Daly. After a scuffle with the Children's League, in which Black Betty received a few bullets and scruffs, the four travel to Virginia to find East River and the Slip Kid.

After a scuffle with the skip tracer Lady Jane, Black Betty would be abandoned so that the four kids would be harder to find since Black Betty had been put into the skip - tracer program.

Throughout Never Fade, Ruby reminisces, and sometimes wishes, for the simpler times inside Black Betty and thinks of it has a home.
Fisher

Fishers were an extremely rare classification of psi, with only one person, Max Wendall. They have the ability to cast a telepathic fishing line into the world, grabbing and reeling in an image of the person. Fishers were created alongside other rare psi groups such as Mirrors, Limit and Hackers. Fishers were created by Agent Ambrosia like all other psi races, but they were exposed later in life, and not in utero like most groups. Side effects to Fisher are unknown.
Jack Fields

**Jack Fields** was a Blue and the second in a family of five. He died during the escape of Caledonia.

## Biography

### Early On

Jack Fields was the second in a family of five, and the only one to survive IAAN. He was sent to Caledonia, a rehabilitation camp, and there he met Liam Stewart and Chubs. He was said to be like a saint walking around, a boy who dared to use his abilities while at camp, always lifting things out of PSFs' pockets or throwing things in their paths. He also was said to have drawn New York City's sky line on a chalkboard, and the PSFs were so amazed they let him finished.

During the break out, Jack was shot in the back of the head while running. It is later revealed that Jack took a bullet for Chubs, since he didn't believe that Chubs could take care of himself.

### Darkest Minds

Jack isn't seen at all, but is mentioned by Liam and Chubs in a mournful, loving manner. While bringing Jack's letter to his father, Chubs is shot when his father reads the letter.

## Personality and Looks

### Personality

Jack is described as an awesome kid by Chubs, and also "stealth cool." He knew about Japanese horror flicks that Liam talked about, and liked to draw as well. He also liked to tell stories in funny voices, and loved antagonizing PSFs by lifting things out of their pockets or tripping them with his abilities.

### Looks

Jack is described as "unremarkable in appearance, the kind of kid you would pass in the hallway and not think twice about." by Chubs.

## Abilities

Jack is a Blue, meaning he can move things without touching them. He practiced his abilities at camp, and taught Chubs how to use his. He used his abilities to trip PSFs and lift things out of their pockets.
Chatter

Chatters were created by some of the greens who worked for the Children's League to use on missions. They could be used so that agents could relay digital messages, photos, and short videos back home without needing to ditch burner phone after burner phone. They operated on a un-hackable network the greens had created. They could only be used to contact other Chatters on the network, and only then if you had the other Chatter’s secret PIN number. They were useless if you needed to send large images or video files longer than thirty seconds; John Alban rejected sending them out in the field for that reason, dismissing them as some bored kid’s project.

It was the size of a phone, and could easily be mistaken for one if someone was not paying attention. They were salvaged from an older generation of phones—the kind with an actual keypad, rather than a sleek touchscreen. The newest shells the greens had created for them were oval and thin enough to slide into a back pocket or up a sleeve during a lesson.
Lizzie

Lizzie is one of the few kids who lived in East River before it fell.

## Biography

### Early Life

Lizzie managed to survive IAAN as a green. PSFs would pull over her parents car in an attempt to grab her, but she managed to escape. She somehow managed to find a tribe of greens and managed to track down East River, which was in the early stages of being built. She would remain there for the entire two years of it being operated.

### *The Darkest Minds*

Lizzie, who had managed to find a job in the storage compartment, was excited to find out that Mike and his group managed to get fruit in their last "hit". She also notices the four new arrivals, but doesn't say anything to them before they are led away to meet Clancy Gray. She unpacks all of the fruit before joining everyone else for dinner.

Since she works in storage she has to spend her shifts doing things like sorting the food and keeping everything organized inside of the building.

When Chubs, Liam and Ruby attempt to leave the camp, and Clancy doesn't want them to leave, Clancy has Lizzie cut her hand and go after Ruby, to tell her Clancy is in danger. Ruby doesn't fall for the act (later realizing that the blood is, in fact, not Clancy's) but follows her regardless, and ultimately frees her from his control.

## Phyisical Description

Ruby describes her as being around fourteen or fifteen and having numerous piercings in the cartilage of both ears, as well as cropped blond hair.
Felipe Mariano

Felipe Mariano is a yellow boy who managed to evade skip - tracers and PSFs for years. He would eventually meet up with Liam Stewart who also managed to evade capture. The pair would get in a disagreement with a tribe and the tribe most likely called them in. Both boys were captured and for some unknown reason were separated. Liam was shipped Caledonia and Felipe was shipped to the unnamed New York camp. When Liam finally caught up with some of the kids from the camp, they told Liam about how Felipe had been in their camp. It is known if Felipe survived long enough to see the camp system close, and what happened to him afterwards if he did.
Amplify

**Amplify** is an illegal broadcasting company created after President Gray gained control over the major news channels and websites. The owner(s) and/or founder(s) of Amplify were never mentioned. It was created with the goal of spreading accurate information, especially about the government, economy, and the psi. Because of how they were operating, they hit Gray's shit list, and they would be tracked by the government.

During the overthrow of Oasis, Amplify worker Alice took pictures of the kids in the camp. She and her organization would share the photographs and videos of the imprisoned children to spread awareness. It later assisted in the reuniting of children in other rehabilitation camps.
Green

**Green** was the classification given to any psi who had enhanced mental and intellectual abilities as a result of Agent Ambrosia. Greens can be proficient at problem-solving, reasoning, logic, deciphering, and computer coding, as well as having a photographic memory, though it depends on the individual. Greens are considered the least powerful of the five major psi groups, as their powers do not have any physical influence over the world around them.

Captured greens were treated the best of the five powered groups. The kids were able to walk around with their hands freed. They were used for manual labor in their camps. This way things got done at the camp, and so that kids would be exhausted. Greens captured before the camps were segregated were kept in their original camps. More greens would be added to said camps before more were opened.

Greens who weren't captured were also treated pretty fairly by other psi, since their abilities allowed them to help others evade captures. Even though they were no physical danger to anyone skip-tracers and ordinary people would capture the kids and send them to the camps.

Greens in the Children's League were used to create powerful and unique equipment like Chatters, computer viruses, and other advanced equipment.

In an attempt to change the view of how greens are looked at the government gave the group the nickname Prodigies after the camp system was finished. After the liberation of the camps, Greens became sought after by the Blue Star crime organization, as it proved to be easier to modify their powers than other colors.

## Notable Greens

* Sam Dahl
* Nico
* Chubs (in the movie.)
* Hina
Anabel Cruz

**Senator Anabel Cruz** is a politician who worked for President Gray before IAAN struck America. Her daughter Rosa was taken by the PSFs.

## Biography

### Early Life

Senator Cruz worked for President Gray, and was a politician for a while before IAAN struck America and the government started falling apart. She tried to keep her daughter Rosa Cruz from being taken away by the PSFs, but she failed and Rosa was taken to the Psi rehabilitation camp, Oasis. She acted as the Federal Coalition international liaison, and worked on establishing contacts and negotiating possible support from other nations.

### In the Afterlight

Senator Cruz had managed to escape the bombing of Los Angeles, and was able to stumble into Cole Stewart. Cole brought her to what remained of the Children's League. After a brief interaction with the group she would travel with the group to the Ranch, a secured League base that few knew about.

Because of her knowledge of President Gray, Amplify, and politics expected to come into play. She was considered a huge asset. She did not, however, directly participate in any missions. Though when the League went to attack Oasis, she arranged to have a bus transport the kids from the camp into Lodi California. After the attack on the Oasis camp was successful, the senator was reunited with her daughter, Rosa.

### *The Darkest Legacy*

Senator Cruz becomes the president, and leads a fractured country with a frail hold. Joseph Moore, a candidate for the next election, brings her down with speeches and many people want him to become president, rather than her. She forgets that the Psi were the ones who helped her get to her high position, and leads the country poorly.

## Personality

Senator Cruz is a powerful woman, who views herself as a strong and useful person. She doesn't tend to hide her views and opinions and often enforces what she believes is right. Because of this, she sometimes comes off as cold or forceful.

## Physical Description

Senator Cruz is tall and lean, with dark hair and dark eyes.

## Relationships

### Cole Stewart

Cole Stewart and Senator Cruz had a strong alliance and understanding. They worked together in the remnants of the Children's League before Cole's untimely death.

### Rosa Cruz

Rosa Cruz is Senator Cruz's daughter. She was taken away at a young age, after she was identified as Psi and classified as Blue. They share a close bond, and both were devastated by their separation. Fortunately, they were safely reunited.
White

Whites are psi that chose or were forced to undergo a procedure which disables their psi abilities with a medical implant. White's could no longer access their psi abilities, but it did seem that there was a percentage of whites whose powers sometimes returned. As was the case of Clancy Gray, whose powers returned after sometime. Even though they were no longer considered dangerous, they still faced discrimination by people. After the psi were freed from the rehabilitation camps, everyone was given the option to undergo the procedure, but some were operated on without their consent (this almost happens to Ruby Daly in The Darkest Legacy).
Children's League

The **Children's League** is an organization that helps free children from the camps and expose the truth. Except most of the time the Children's League tends to only bust the most powerful children out of camp and leave the other's to rot there. Most of the agents wanted to get rid of the kids and get back at the US government.

## History

The League was created by John Alban, a man who used to work with President Gray, to expose the truth about the camps when his daughter died. So when they acquired a handful of kids on a bus, they started the League and began training the kids. The League grew and grew until it was an noticable organization, that was viewed as terrorists by the government.

President Gray was shot by a kid on television, except he survived due to the fact that he was wearing a bullet proof vest. This served as an excuse to bomb the Los Angeles HQ, killing a bunch of the League members. The remainder of the League agents went off to Kansas HQ, while all the kids went to The Ranch, since the agents were plotting to turn in all of the kids. Then the Kansas HQ was bombed, leaving only two survivors.

## Notable members

Susan Daly

**Susan Daly** is the mother to Ruby Daly, wife to Jacob Daly, daughter-in-law to Ruby "Grams" Daly and a side character in the Darkest Minds trilogy.

## Biography

### Early On

While IAAN was infiltrating the country, Susan raised Ruby oblivious to the damage that was coming, but on her tenth birthday her and her husband Jacob got into a large argument, inciting Ruby to retreat into her room. That night Ruby kissed them both on the forehead, erasing all of their memories of her.
When Ruby came downstairs the next day, Susan didn't recognize her, so she called the police and locked Ruby in the garage. But instead the PSFs got to her first, and brought her to Thurmond for six years.

### In the Afterlight

After Ruby released all the children in Thurmond and was sent to a hospital, Susan, Jacob, and Grams all drove straight to her when they released where she was, and Ruby returned Susan and Jacob's memories of her. Since then, Susan and Jacob were much more careful and gentle with her, trying to make up for six years apart.

## Relationships

### Ruby

Susan and Ruby were extremely close before the accident that took Susan's memories of her daughter. The pair would constantly go to historical sites to explore with Jacob. Th pair became close again when Susan's memories were returned.
Vault 65

**Vault 65** is one of the vault series of fallout shelters developed by Vault-Tec. It is located northeast of Tom's Village and east of The Blockade. It is home to a community of isolationist traders.

## History

### Construction and Purpose

It is not known when construction of Vault 65 began, although it may have been in 2060s. Like most vaults, Vault 65 was a social experiment set up by the Enclave. In Vault 65's case, it was an experiment with segregation, with caucasian and African American residents split into two different sections of the vault; white residents were placed into well-maintained, luxurious areas of the vault, in the well-protected lower levels, while black residents were placed into the barely-maintained, poverty-stricken and radiation-vulnerable upper levels. Vault-Tec arranged this in the hope it was incite racial tensions and paranoia, which would erupt in a race war.

However, instead of an eruption of racial tensions due to inequality, the two communities instead decided to overthrow their Overseer and unite, led by Samuel Cooke and Robert Wayne, two men who became known as the Founding Fathers. Over the course of generations, the vault turned into a largely mix-raced community who remained cautious of the outside world. In the 2260s, they decided to open the vault door for the first time and have reluctantly traded with the outside world since.

### Arrival of The Stranger and their Companions

In 2280, following their trek through the Haunted Marsh, the Companions arrived at the vault seeking rest and trade before their final push into the Ravaged Hills.

## Inhabitants

* Samuel Cooke - Founding Father
* Robert Wayne - Founding Father

### Visitors

* The Stranger
* Colin Shaw
* Gary-3
* Amanda
* Dogmeat
* Jesus
* Skynet
Blue

Blue was the classification given to any psi who had the ability to move things with their mind. They are powerful enough to lift trees off the ground, and could easily knock a grown man down without much effort. Their powers were also quite easy to control and didn't usually respond as violently when provoked. There also didn't seem to be anything able to physically restrain a blues powers, like how a yellows could be controlled with gloves, and an oranges with a muzzle and handcuffs. Some individuals, like Liam, seemed to have more impressive abilities, since he was able to throw a tree in front of a car while not being stationary.

Blues are considered one of the less dangerous powers, at least when compared to yellows, reds, and oranges. Blues who had been captured before the segregation of the camps were kept at their original camps, since the camps would be suitable enough to hold them. Because of their easy management, they would often be kept in the same camps with greens and they wouldn't have their own. Though the New York camp was said to primarily be blue.

## Notable Blues

* Vida
* Olivia
* Knox
* Jack Fields
* Liam Stewart
* Charles (Chubs) Meriwether
* Talon
* Lucy
Blank

Blanks were psi children who had not gained their abilities yet. When they hit puberty, they will gain one of the main five abilities, red, orange, yellow, green or blue. It is impossible to tell what power somebody will gain until their abilities show, and it is hard to tell when someone is going to get their abilities, just that it will happen between the age of eight and fourteen. The process of getting one's abilities was extremely dangerous and only two percent of kids could survive the process if left untreated. There weren't any proven way to better help the blanks survive the process. Mia Orfeo was the only person of note to get her abilities at a camp, but since she got her abilities in the early days of the camp system, it is unknown if there was a proven way to help the blanks.

Blanks were not required to go to the camp system like the older kids, but they were regularly tested to see if their abilities were coming in. Kids who were showing early signs of abilities were taken from their family members and sent to Black Rock for testing. In the early days of the camp, when the blanks received their abilities they were kept at Black Rock, but when the camp was filled they were shipped to other 'normal' camps across the states.

Because the government were taking their kids, blacks and kids with powers, people started hiding their children in an attempt to keep them safe. People also started refusing to have children fearing that their child would be taken or they would die. People who did have children would have to register them or face prison time, and separation from their children.
Rosa Cruz

Rosa Cruz, daughter of Anabel Cruz, survived IAAN and, being the child of a Federal Coalition leader, was sent to Oasis. As of the event's of In the Afterlight she is estimated to be around fourteen years of age.

## Biography

### Early life

Not much is known about this period in Rosa's life except she presumably lived with her mother on the West Coast until the politicians and their kids were rounded up. Anabel Cruz tried to send her to live with her mother, but she was captured before she could hide. Upon realizing how important she was, she was sent to Oasis, a camp for kids whose parents were in the Federal Corrilation. Upon her arrival of the camp her blue abilities were discovered and given the ID number 9229.

### *In the Afterlight*

Rosa spent a good number of years living in Oasis, and was locked in Room 6 with nine other blue girls. She lost a lot of weight and had her curly hair hacked off. She is surprised when the Children's League arrives and even more surprised when Ruby tells her that her mother is waiting for her at The Ranch. When they get back, Rosa runs off the bus and launches herself into her mother's arms. After she arrives she takes her first hot shower in a long time.

### Fate

Rosa would be moved to Canada to attend an unknown school after someone tried to kidnap her.

## Personality

Rosa is shy in the short time we see her for, but she does make friends with other kids in the garage.

## Physical Appearance

She is described as tall and lean, a smaller version of Anabel Cruz, with a long, dark ponytail.
Psi

The psi people are a group of people with supernatural abilities as a direct result of Agent Ambrosia. The vast majority of the psi race were exposed to Agent Ambrosia while they were still in the womb and their abilities fell into one of five categories red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. Children who were exposed to Agent Ambrosia in the womb but had yet to gain their abilities were called blanks. The powers ranged from person to person. Siblings and cousins could posses different abilities, like in the case of Suzume, who was a yellow, and her cousin Hina, who was a green. Or Liam Stewart, who was a blue, and his brother Cole who was a red.

The psi's powers were extremely difficult to control when someone just gets them or they are untrained. Reds, experience significantly more difficulties in controlling their abilities, leading to accidents and involuntary usage of power. If left unchecked an orange could cause unintended consequences in others, like when Ruby Daly accidentally changed ten years worth of memories in her parents and five years in Samantha Dahl. Greens are the only total exception to this, as their abilities involve mental skills rather than creating external forces.

The psi people were seen with extreme prejudice because of their abilities. Fear caused President Gray to put together the rehabilitation camp program to house the psi people until a cure could be found for their abilities. He would also put together the skip tracer program and would encourage people to turn in their children. He also required blanks be registered with the government and would take any blank who was near getting their abilities from their families.

Even after the camp system was shut down, the psi would still be treated with prejudice. Some kids were forced against there will to get the cure. Psi who wanted to go to big events like rally's would have to wear a button that showed what color they were. Children who were unclaimed after the fall of the camp system would be sent into foster care. Some of the older unclaimed children were allowed to live together in group homes. The government monitors all of the kids in the group home, and each kid have special caseworkers checking in constantly. By the time of the events of the Darkest Legacy, one thousand, one hundred and twelve children were living in foster care.

Because of the young age of the psi population, it is unknown if a psi person can pass their powers down to their offspring.

Jonathan Wendall, on the orders of Gregory Mercer, would experiment on both psi and human children in an attempt to figure to gain new kinds of psi. There were able to create limits, hackers, fisher's and mirrors, four extremely rare and dangerous groups of psi. Both men held the secrets about the new groups and the experiments from the government. The survivors also kept their abilities secret, fearing the repercussions of telling anyone what would happen.
Los Angeles Base

The Los Angeles Base was the main operational place for the Children's League. Their primary base of operations was buried two stories beneath a functioning plastic bottle factory that kept limping along, doing its part to add to the congestion of the brown haze clinging to downtown Los Angeles’s warehouse district. Many of the League agents and senior officials “worked” for P & C Bottling, Inc. on paper. The warehouse was owned by Peter Hinderson, who was a supporter of the League since the beginning.

A lot of the agents were ex-military, but a lot of civilians joined up to find their siblings or children. There were roughly twenty-five children at the base separated into teams of four. Some were pulled from camps, others were found while the League was moving around.

The general look of the place was what you’d expect walking through a half-finished construction site. The walls were exposed gray cement blocks, braced by metal supports. The floor was painted cement. The most interesting thing about HQ was its shape; the door from the entry opened up directly in front of a large, circular center room that was enclosed by curving glass walls. The hallway immediately inside formed a ring around that room, though I could see at least four different hallways that branched out from it in straight lines.

The entrance of the base was in a parking garage. It was an elevator that led to the tube. That tunnel had been so hellish in its sewer stink and mold-slick walls, you half expected to find the devil waiting for you at the other end of it.
Limit

Limits were an extremely rare classification of psi with only one known person, Lana Volkov. They have the ability to temporarily remove the abilities of other psi races and could make others sick. Lana was so powerful that she could use her abilities on multiple people. Limits were created by Mercer alongside other rare psi groups such as Mirrors, Fisher's and Hackers. Limits were created by Agent Ambrosia like all other psi races, but they were exposed later in life, and not in utero like most groups. Unlike other groups invented by Mercer, there are no side effects to a limits abilities.
Vault 122

**Vault 122** is one of the vault series of fallout shelters developed by Vault-Tec before the war. It is located to the northeast of New Orleans. During the war, the surface outside the vault door was struct by an atomic warhead, utterly destroying the entire region and transforming it into the area known as the Ravaged Hills, the most dangerous and inhospitable area of the Big Easy.

In 2279, while on the trail of their sister Abigail, the Stranger and their companions discovered that Vault 122 was her destination, although her motive is currently unknown.

## History

### Events of *Big Easy*

#### 2279

After leaving Vault 60, Abigail headed toward Vault 122 after visiting the Superdome. They made their way through the Haunted Marsh, surviving the dangerous cannibals, and found rest in Vault 65 before their final push into the Hills.
Caledonia

Caledonia was one of the smaller rehabilitation camps that was located inside an old elementary school. The three hundred psi prisoner's would sleep in the old classrooms. Like all other camps, there was a garden on the property in which most of the prisoners would have to work in. The prisoners were not given enough food and most would be malnourished after awhile.

Only yellows, greens and blues were allowed inside the camp. Caledonia was created after Project Jamboree started so there was no reason for any red to be in the camp. Oranges were considered too dangerous to ever be allowed in a camp. Liam Stewart, Jack Fields, and Charles (Chubs) Meriwether planned and enacted an escape attempt. The plan was to have all the kids get out of their rooms at once, and run to the electrified gate. Unfortunately the gate remained on for much longer than expected and most of the kids would be shot by the PSF agents shooting the kids. Out of the three hundred children in the camp, only eight were known to have survived; Liam Stewart, Charles (Chubs) Meriwether, Suzume (Zu) Kimura, Hina, Mike and one yellow boy and two blue girls who had managed to all escape to East River.
Talon

Talon was an older blue boy who managed to wind up in living in East River for a while. When Hina and Suzume Kimura decided to track down Hina's parents, Talon joined the growing tribe. Lucy and Kylie joined them, and when the tribe had hit the other necessary requirements, Clancy Gray let them leave the group.

Unknown to Talon, the group would be the last tribe to leave the camp while it was still standing. He never figured out that East River fell, since communication between the tribes and the camp was forbidden except for emergencies.

After traveling for a while, the tribe would get into a skirmish with skip - tracers and the tribes car would crash. Talon would die in the crash. The rest of the tribe split not wanting to join him in his fate or wind up in arehabilitation camps. His body was presumably taken by the skip tracers since none of his tribe found his body, and the Children's League never figured it out either.
Tribes

Tribes referred to any group of psi living in the United States of America while President Gray was in charge of the country. Each group ranged in size, color and where they were located. Some groups would segregate themselves by color and would not allow anyone from another color to be apart of their group, like with Knox and his tribe of blues. Tribes would often be hunted by skip - tracers so they could be sold to the government for a profit.

The largest and most infamous tribe was East River, which was the and headed by Clancy Gray. Clancy ran the tribe to help hide and protect the kids from the outside world. The tribe didn't discriminate against which color was allowed to stay in the camp, though there are no known reds who were apart of the tribe. Clancy would allow smaller tribes to fracture off from the main group and the smaller groups would keep in contact with Clancy.

The tribe system mostly fell apart when the camp system fell and the United Nations stepped into to help the United States.
Grace Somerfield

She was in the cafeteria and was locked deep in a debate on whether there was a fly in her Jell-O or a piece of candy, when she stopped talking. Her eyes rolled back and an aide rushed over to check her heartbeat. It was only when a boy named Ben Cho nudged her hand that all the other kids realized that Grace had been killed by IAAN. This resulted in mass hysteria, and the children in the cafeteria ran outside.

## Personality

Not much is said about Grace, except at the beginning of The Darkest Minds. From what we can pick up, she was somewhat popular around her classmates, and perhaps greedy for attention if she put a piece of candy in her Jell-O and pretended it was a fly.
George Fields

**George Fields** was the father of Jack Fields and is the person who Jack wished his letter to be delivered to in the event of his death. When Charles (Chubs) Meriwether tries to deliver Jack's letter to his father, he shoots him startling Liam Stewart and Ruby Daly who had been with Charles at the time. As Liam and Ruby try to rescue Chubs, Ruby reads the letter that Jack wrote and it says, " Dear Dad, When you sent me to school that morning, I thought you loved me. But now I see you for what you are. You called me a monster and a freak. But you’re the one that raised me." Later at the Children's League, Liam admits he was wrong and they should have read Jack's letter before delivering it as it would have stopped Chubs from being shot.
