Mao

***The Mao*** is a ship formerly belonging to BeiTech Industries, that was later commandeered by the Kerenza IV and *Heimdall* refugee fleet.

## Plot

### Gemina

The *Mao* is used to transport the BeiTech assault squad (consisting of Travis Falk and Fleur Russo, among others) to Heimdall Jump Station. The auditors proceed to take over the station in the Terra Day attack, moving into the late Station Commander Charles Donnelly's office to use as base of operations. At the end of the book, the survivors use the now-crewless Mao to escape from the station, jump through the station's wormhole, and rendezvous with the survivors aboard the *Hypatia* on the other side.

### Obsidio

In *Obsidio*, the ship starts under the command of Captain Syra Boll, formerly captain of the *Hypatia*. In an effort to conserve enough resources for the trip back to Kerenza IV and keep Kady Grant safe, AIDAN pumps carbon monoxide onto one of the floors, killing everyone present and saving only an infant girl named Hypatia and her parents. This causes uproar, and a schism forming between those who support Boll's captainship and those who wish to overthrow her.

As a result, an insurrection led by Ben Garver hits the overcrowded ship, seeking to improve the current living conditions of the refugees and lead the ship away from Kerenza IV, where there may still be survivors of the BeiTech occupation. By doing so they also forego any hope of gathering enough resources on Kerenza to jump back to the Core Systems and spreading word of BeiTech's crimes. The rebellion is put down by Kady, Hanna, Ezra, Nik, Ella and AIDAN, and Captain Winifred McCall assumes command.

On the *Mao* the crew start to plan a surprise attack on Kerenza IV to retake the planet from BeiTech. This is when they receive a distress transmission from the planet's surface, sent by Asha Grant and the rest of the resistance forces with the help of Rhys Lindstrom. The two parties coordinate an assault on the BeiTech troops both on land and in the air. When the battle begins, some of the survivors (such as Kady and Ella) stay on the *Mao* to organize fighting and perform cyberattacks. In the meantime, Hanna, McCall, Garver and others secure the *Magellan*, while Ezra, Nik, and the other pilots fly down to the planet's surface to attack BeiTech ground forces.

After the takeover, it is assumed that the survivors use the *Mao* and other ships to move to the Ptolemy system with the captured mobile jump gate technology. That is where they stay for the next few months, gathering and organizing information in preparation of using it in a court case against BeiTech, before jumping to the Core Systems and broadcasting to the entire universe what BeiTech has done.

Mr. Biggles

**Mr. Biggles II** is a goldfish belonging to Ella Malikova's friend Zoe and put into Ella's care.

## Plot

He first appears in GEMINA: The ILLUMINAE Files 02, where Ella carries him around in a plastic bag. Against all odds, he survives the invasion of Jump Station *Heimdall* by Ella's side, including a Lanima attack, many bullets, and loss of proper gravity. He also lives through the third book (OBSIDIO: The ILLUMINAE Files 03), acting as Ella's informal muse after Isaac Grant helps her with her medical tech and offers her encouragement.

## Trivia

* Mr. Biggles II is the replacement for a fish by the name of Mr. Biggles, who also belonged to Zoe. While Ella was left in charge of Mr. Biggles I, the fish passed away due to her overfeeding him, and Ella went to the pains of buying a fish that looked exactly identical to the first.
* Ella confesses that Mr. Biggles II is not the original Mr. Biggles in one of her video diaries, pointing out that a fish like Mr. Biggles II was expensive to buy and bring aboard, especially on the *Heimdall*.
* When Hanna reveals to Nik that Ella is alive in GEMINA: The ILLUMINAE Files 02, she also makes a reference to Mr. Biggles II, though it seems she doesn't know much about him yet.
Analyst

**Analysts** are members of The Illuminae Group who transcribe video footage. [

## History

The Illuminae Group was first founded by Kady Grant during the *Mao's* journey to Kerenza IV. The purpose of the group was to compile a dossier of incriminating evidence on BeiTech Industries, in the hopes of exposing the atrocities committed during BeiTech's attack on Kerenza and the aftermath.

"Analysts" were three select members of this group whose purpose was too complete transcribing's of video footage for the so-called "Illuminae Files". Their work makes up a small portion of the first segment of these files, ILLUMINAE, and play a large role in the following segments Gemina and Obsidio.
Zhongzheng

**The Zhongzheng** was a dreadnought belonging to BeiTech Industries. During the nuclear exchange over Kerenza IV, it was destroyed by the *Alexander*.

## Plot

The only Mobile Jump Platform created outside of a UTA lab, the Magellan, was used by the Zhongzheng to travel to the Kerenza System and destroy the Wallace Ulyanov Consortium settlement on Kerenza IV. It was destroyed when it confronted the Alexander during the initial assault on Kerenza IV.
Private "Duke" Wozniak

Private Wozniak is one of the members of the BeiTech occupation force on Kerenza IV, and a friend of Rhys Lindstrom.

## Personality

Private Wozniak constantly refers to himself in the third person as "The Duke". He is cocky and seems to care for his friends, but also brave and unwavering in battle. He believes himself to be a hero, and that it isn't his time to die yet. In addition, he is a relatively supportive friend, comforting his friend Rhys when he can't sleep, and sharing his own experiences with battle and how he dealt with it to make Rhys feel better. He also emphasizes that he has eyes and ears everywhere, knowing about Asha and Rhys's interactions before Rhys has even told him.

## Death

Duke's death is caused by Bruno Way, a friend of Asha Grant's and member of the rebellion. He is killed after Bruno sets off some stolen Thermex explosives inside the old school (which was being used for holding BeiTech troops at the time), dying whilst Rhys Lindstrom is away with Asha at the hospital. Rhys witnesses Duke's death from a distance, having been on the radio with him at the time and seeing the explosion. The loss of his friend to a resistance member motivates him to turn in Asha (also a resistance member) to BeiTech's clutches.

His death is exploited later by Asha and Rhys. Rhys takes Duke's dogtags and throws them at Asha, who appears devastated as she lets Lieutenant Jake Christie take her away. This allows Rhys to get to Asha easily when the battle begins.

## Trivia

* Femme Injury Incident - Duke tells Rhys and Oshiro the story of a time he was getting in the mood with a girl, who apparently enjoyed feet. He was kicked by her in a panic after her parents approached the room, and his tongue was cut off almost completely. He hid in a closet for 4 hours whilst the girl got her parents to leave, and by the time he got to a hospital, it was too late to re-attach the tongue.
* Duke constantly wears his tactical armor bodysuit, even brushing his teeth in it; toothpaste frying his suit's circuits is the suspected cause of its malfunctioning.
Fleur Russo

**Fleur "Kali" Russel** is a member of the BeiTech assault squad, and the girlfriend of the late Petyr "Romeo" Bazarov.

## Plot

To ensure that there were no survivors of BeiTech's assault of Kerenza IV who could disseminate information about the company's wrongdoings, Kali was sent with the crew to Heimdall Jump Station. She directs the Alpha Squad in guarding key personnel, maintaining the wormhole's functionality, and safeguarding the engineering and other locations. After she learns from Commander Travis "Cerberus" Falk that her boyfriend Petyr Bazarov ("Romeo") has been flushed out of an airlock by Hanna Donnelly, Kali becomes very angry at both Falk and Hanna. She goes on to disregard Falk's orders to stay in the Engineering sector and oversee the wormhole operations, and instead leaves to hunt down Hanna. When Hanna flees down the elevator shaft and just misses being crushed by one of the lifts, the two come into contact for the first time on Corridor A17f close to the hospital.

Later, when Isaac Grant and Hanna have set up a trap where the automated lights is laced with sugar to detonate when activated, Alpha Squad is trapped. This causes Kali to have a bloody nose and a concussion.

In the magnetic monorail on Level 3, where Hanna and Kali have their last confrontation, Kali fatally shoots the Nik Malikov of the parallel reality produced by the wormhole. Hanna would have won the battle if Kali hadn't used her flair for the theatrical by tossing her own weapons and armour, but Kali insists on having a fair fight. Although she tries to save Nik, Hanna accidentally kills Russo by spitting dust in her face.

## Appearance

Russo is described to be “fit and lean", with short platinum blond hair, "not an ounce of fat on her body", reflex enhancements, and various cybernetic augments.

## Personality

In spite of being under no responsibility to do so, Kali is depicted throughout the novel as a cold-blooded, heartless murderer who kills "nonessential" hostages without hesitation. She may, however, easily lose her cool and get enraged, as seen by her response to Petyr Bazarov's passing. Although she had some affection for him, Analyst 7213-0089-DN believes that "she figures if anyone was going to space Romeo, it was supposed to be her, and only after she was done with him." She's also ready to give up her armour and weaponry so that she and Hanna can battle each other head-to-head until one of them dies. These and other actions taken by Russo suggest that she has an intense sense of pride, ego and revenge. She clearly sees Romeo as under her thumb, and her anger at his death is likely fuelled by her inability to use him to her benefit anymore. She also wants to bring down her valued enemies (namely Hanna Donnelly) in a fair way, presumably so she can gain more satisfaction from it.
Hypatia

*The **Hypatia*** is a science vessel belonging to the Wallace Ulyanov Consortium. After the attack on Kerenza IV, it is used to help the refugees from Kerenza IV.

It also is equipped with a payload of six Capstone 7c, twelve Nova III shuttles, state-of-the-art tracking, and QASAR arrays.

## Plot

### Illuminae

#### Battle of Kerenza IV

The *Hypatia* was one of three vessels, alongside the *Copernicus* and *Alexander*, to ferry refugees off Kerenza IV. Later, after the *Copernicus* is destroyed and the *Alexander* overcome with the Phobos Virus, it serves as the only refugee ship in the fleet.

### Obsidio

After the *Hypatia*'s fuel tank reaches a critical point, they abandon ship, leaving it floating in space. Instead, they take the BeiTech ship *Mao* for their further journey back to Kerenza IV.
Leanne Frobisher

**Leanne Frobisher** is the Director of Acquisitions of BeiTech Industries. She is also one of the BeiTech employees responsible for the attack on Kerenza IV.

## Personality

Leanne displayed abusive behavior towards both her husband, Antony, and her son, Ezra. It is described how she used to burn Ezra with cigars and once even pulled a gun on her then-significant other. Subsequently, both Ezra and his father ran away and spent years hiding from her on Kerenza IV.

## Plot

#### ILLUMINAE: The ILLUMINAE Files\_01

At the beginning of the book, she requests files regarding the attack on Kerenza IV from the Illuminae Group. As the story progresses, she is mentioned several times by Ezra, who seems afraid of speaking of her. At end of the book, it is revealed that she is the Director of Acquisitions of BeiTech Industries and has already uncovered Kady Grant's identity as one of the analysts of the group. She threatens Kady to make her stop researching the attack on Kerenza IV and the events that followed, as this evidence might lead to legal action being taken against BeiTech, but does so unsuccessfully.
Legerdemain

**Legerdemain** is an Art of the Kithain.

## Overview

Legerdemain allows a changeling to control his environment through telekinetic means, from remotely picking pockets to grabbing and hurling large objects around. This Art also allows for the creation of solid illusionary objects and creatures. Legerdemain is often considered the specialty of the Pooka, though members of all kiths may practice it without persecution.

* **Attribute:** Dexterity

## Cantrips

* **Gimmix** - Produces a simple telekinetic movement, allowing an object to be moved at range, but not finely manipulated.
* **Ensnare** - Moves an object too heavy to be moved by Gimmix, or a flexible object to attempt to bind an individual.
* **Effigy** - Produces a carbon copy of a given item, though traits of that item below the surface fail to be copied.
* **Mooch** - An object that is visible to the caster is immediately transferred into the user's possession.
* **Phantom Shadows** - Produces a temporary chimera that appears in the form of what the user desires it to, with some limitation.
Byron Zhang

## Summary

Zhang is a hacker/coder that is involved heavily in the plot. He taught and worked with Kady Grant.

## Plot

Byron is conscripted to the *Alexander* to fix up the damaged AIDAN. He takes notice of Kady's hacking and offers to help teach her, which she accepts. He also helps create the computer virus that will slow down the BeiTech dreadnought *Lincoln*. The Lincoln is pursuing the *Alexander*, trying to eliminate all witnesses of its attack on Kerenza IV. When the *Alexander* takes down the *Lincoln*, AIDAN breaks free of the restrictions that Zhang and the other the technicians have created to keep it from doing anything rash and opens the doors to the infected Hangar Bay 4, causing a massacre. Zhang hides to escape the afflicted and tries to find a way to take down AIDAN. Once Bryon realizes that he is afflicted by the Phobos virus, he kills himself in order to keep from harming Kady.

WhisperNET

WhisperNET is primarily a platform and assistance for instant chat. A dental implant and an eye contact lens are both used to operate it. Subvocalizations are captured by the dental implant, which then turns them into text in the conversation. The user's contact lens is used to project the whisperNET screen. Events on the calendar, scheduling, announcements, and reminders are also included in the user interface.

## Plot

Hanna Donnelly and Nik Malikov set up a meeting so that Hanna could obtain some dust in the second volume of the Illuminae Files series, Gemina, where WhisperNET first appears. Nik wants to discover a more private means to speak to Hanna that isn't seen by either the Heimdall or the House of Knives, but it is suspected that the Heimdall watches communications through whisperNET. Following then, whisperNET is used in more one-on-one communications up until BeiTech soldiers assault the Heimdall.

The whisperNET network is compromised by the BeiTech Team's communications and computer system expertise during the Terra Day attack, which finally causes it to go down. To coordinate themselves, Hanna, Nik, and Ella Malikova revert to utilising palmpads.

The only time whisperNET is referenced in the text is when Travis Falk, the BeiTech invasion's leader, briefly restores it to service in order to give Hanna court records on Nik that describe the origin of his angel tattoo and his involvement with the House of Knives. After reading it, Hanna accepts the narrative presented in the documents and briefly cuts off contact with Nik since she thinks he is a cold-blooded killer.
Obsidio - The Illuminae Files 03

## Synopsis

*Asha Grant came to Kerenza to escape her past.*

*Too bad he just caught up with her.*

*Asha survived the initial BeiTech's assault and has been working undercover with the hopelessly outmatched resistance ever since. That, and figuring out what to do with the secret she's stashed in the crawlspace. The last thing she expected to worry about was her ex-boyfriend, but Rhys Lindstrom just landed planetside, and he's looking finer than ever in his new BeiTech uniform. Is he her way out ― or a guarantee she never gets off this frozen rock alive?*

*But Asha's not the only one with problems. Her cousin Kady's ragtag band of survivors are headed for Kerenza ― without enough oxygen to last the journey. Oh, and there might be an insurrection brewing. But when have little things like that ever stopped the Illuminae Group?*

*Too bad time isn't on their side. With BeiTech hurrying to repair their damaged jump gate, and a mass extermination planned for the Kerenza civilians, only a miracle could save them now. And everyone knows that miracles are just statistical probabilities... right?*

## Plot

The novel switches between focus on Asha Grant (Kady Grant's cousin), Rhys Lindstrom (a BeiTech ground pounder), and the events transpiring on the Hypatia. On Kerenza IV, Asha, a former pharmacy intern, works as a nurse to make up for the shortage of nurses caused by the BeiTech invasion on Kerenza IV, taking care of Katya Kowalski, a little girl who she is keeping safe in her crawlspace. When her former boyfriend Rhys, now a BeiTech ground pounder, shows up on-planet as a tech specialist, Asha struggles with how to treat him. Her friend and fellow resistance member Bruno Way see an opportunity and persuades her to try to pull Rhys to their side before BeiTech wipes out all the remaining survivors on Kerenza IV.

Meanwhile, on the *Hypatia*, former *Heimdall* security chief Ben Garver is unsatisfied with the living conditions when he visits his godson Luke Pangburn and Luke's mother Cara who are also living on the ship and resolves to lobby for change. But after receiving little to no response, he decides to perform a hostile takeover, in the hopes that he can make living conditions better for the survivors. In addition to that, while integrating into the *Hypatia*'s systems, AIDAN discovers that there will not be enough oxygen to last for all the survivors until they get back to Kerenza IV, and decides, for Kady's good alone, to act against orders.

Churchill

The **Churchill** was a BeiTech Industries dreadnought sent to liquidate the Kerenza IV colony, alongside the *Lincoln*, the *Kenyatta*, and the *Zhongzheng*. When the BeiTech Fleet engaged the newly arrived *Alexander*, the *Churchill* suffered heavy damage from the UTA battlecruiser.

### Plot

The Wallace Ulyanov Consortium settlement on Kerenza IV was destroyed by the Churchill in the Kerenza System using the Mobile Jump Platform Magellan, the only one created outside of a UTA lab. As indicated, it engaged the Alexander and took a tremendous amount of damage.

To prevent the Mao from using its weaponry, such as their missiles, nukes, and railguns, Ella Malikova and AIDAN slipped into the Churchill's communications array using Asha Grant's palmpad. In a last-ditch effort, Admiral Sn Huojin instructed Captain Chris Howard to turn off the railguns' power when they restarted but started firing on their Warlocks. He then proceeded to the deteriorating Kenyatta to utilise its last railguns.

Both ships were sunk when AIDAN rammed the Churchill into the Kenyatta.
Terra Day

**Terra Day** is a holiday celebrated across the universe, taking place on August 15th of every year. It celebrates the day humanity first left its solar system (also known as the Core).

## Plot

The people of Heimdall Jump Station are getting ready to observe Terra Day in Gemina, which takes place there. After the majority of the inhabitants and traffic have left to spend time with family, the station is understaffed and almost empty for the holiday.

The refugee ship Hypatia is intercepted by BeiTech Industries during this pause in activity in order to prevent it from using Heimdall's wormhole. BeiTech Industries is trying to quiet any witnesses to its attack on the illegal Hermium colony on planet Kerenza IV. Nik Malikov, a member of the House of Knives, is threatened by Operative Rapier to assist in getting the audit team on board. Rapier steals a coworker's name to conceal his identity and rigs the cameras so that neither the residents nor security see the approaching troops.

Hanna Donnelly, Nik Malikov, Ella Malikova, and Isaac Grant join forces during the assault to protect their home and determine why the army have infiltrated the station, providing opposition to the takeover.
Copernicus

The Wallace Ulyanov Consortium is the owner of the mid-trek freighter known as **Copernicus**. It is utilised to assist the refugees following the invasion on Kerenza IV.

## Plot

The heavy freighter Copernicus was stationed behind Dreadnought Defiant prior to the Battle of Kerenza IV in support of planet operations. It was one of three ships used to transfer refugees from Kerenza IV after the conflict.

#### Escape from Kerenza IV

The Phobos virus was first identified as an airborne chemical agent on board the ship by Copernicus medical personnel around two months after the ship had left Kerenza IV. Despite the crew of the Copernicus' best efforts, the sickness finally spread to the medical team, and AIDAN deemed the spacecraft to be unsafe, leading to the Copernicus Incident that followed.
Lanima

**Lanima** are a species of parasitic linguastata that produce dust. They are native to the planet Pangaea III. Their name derives from the Latin *lambere* (to lick) and *anima* (soul). Neo-Davidian colonists of Pangaea III, who first discovered the species, referred to victims as being rendered 'soulless'.

## Characteristics

Lanima (colloquially called "lickers") are apex-level predators, known for their hostile temperaments and aggressive territoriality. They are characterised by a serpentine body, two long forelimbs and four sucking mouths, appearing similar to lamprey eels. Specimens have reached recorded lengths of three meters (roughly 10 feet), with individual mouth circumferences of over 30 cm. Each jaw-less mouth is equipped with an elongated prehensile tongue. Being sightless, they sense vibrations by "licking" the air around them. Additionally, they secrete a psychoactive venom used for immobilizing prey.

Lickers are covered in a moist dermis, which produces a kaleidoscopic pattern when exposed to visible light. It has been described by both Analyst ID 7213-0089-DN and AIDAN as being a kaleidoscope of 'un-colors'. They secrete a thick, oily fluid from subdermal glands - the secretion reacts in the presence of CO2 to produce an airborne psychoactive, used to disorient and disable prey. It is stated that they possess at least canine-level intelligence.

Lanima become extremely agitated in the presence of noise exceeding 100 dB. It is assumed that this is due to interference to their aural network, the way rapidly strobing light might agitate a human.

## Feeding

Lanima feed on electromagnetic frequencies emanating from brainwave activity, typically by attaching one or more mouths to the cranial region of their victims and inserting the tongue through available orifices (eyes, ears, mouth, etc.). Lanima will feed on brainwave activity until their victims are reduced to a permanent vegatative state, but the act of feeding itself often fails to kill the victim.

## Cultivation and Uses

As the slime that they produce is used in the production of Dust, lanima are extremely valuable. They have been outlawed by the United Terran Authority, but are still kept illegally in high-population areas (such as the House of Knives on Heimdall Jump Station) to feed on all the brainwave activity and produce more slime. They are incubated when very young, and eventually are transferred to an animal (preferably bovine) host, which they feed on further until ejecting themselves and becoming full-fledged lanima capable of hunting on their own.
Asha Grant

**Asha Grant** is Kady Grant's cousin, who survived the attack on Kerenza IV.

## Personality

Although it is shown that Asha Grant's background was quite different and unhealthy, she is depicted as being cool and collected. Like many of her fellow Illuminae members, Asha lacks any unique abilities or skills, but she does have a lot of bravery and compassion, as seen by her love for Katya Kowalski. Her role in teaching Rhys Lindstrom how to cheat at cards should also be mentioned. She asserts to be an adept at lying or conniving, which is how she and Rhys managed to enter forbidden regions without being caught.

## Appearance

Asha Grant has a tattoo that reads Rhys and Asha that has been partially covered up but serves as a reminder of their time together. She has green eyes and black complexion. In honour of her late sister, she also gets the word Samaira tattooed on her wrist. She is characterised as having green eyes, black hair, and light brown complexion.

## Plot

Only in Obsidio does Asha appear. On Kerenza IV, she plays a member of the resistance. She works as an intern at a pharmacy while she is employed by BeiTech. Her ex (Rhys) arrives as a BeiTech "Specialist" while she is there. In order to alert anybody who might be listening, Asha and the other members of the Kerenzan resistance successfully convince Linstrom to join them. Fortunately for them, the communication reaches the oncoming Mao. She and Rhys appear to be back together at the book's conclusion, while Katya—who was shot during the battle between BeiTech and the Resistance—has fully healed and is being brought before the judge for the court hearing.
Kerenza IV

The Kerenza System contains the chilly, frigid planet Kerenza IV. A community of illicit miners lived there.

History

Since about 2556, the Wallace Ulyanov Consortium has been engaged in unlawful Hermium mining.

BeiTech Industries assaulted Kerenza IV in 2575 with the Churchill, Kenyatta, Lincoln, and Zhongzheng dreadnoughts. The colony was wiped out, and the majority of colonists managed to escape on the freighter Copernicus, two WUC scientific boats named Hypatia and Brahe, and the United Terran Authority ship Alexander.
Rhys Lindstrom

**Rhys Lindstrom** was a technician on the *Magellan*, later transferred as a "specialist" onto Kerenza IV by BeiTech Industries. He helped the rebellion on Kerenza IV.

## Personality

Rhys has a strong sense of justice, but he isn't always prepared to put it into practise because of fear, as seen by his reluctance to support Asha in the Kerenza IV rebellion against BeiTech. Additionally, he is devoted to the people he loves, especially Asha, and would do anything to keep them safe.

## Appearance

Rhys Lindstrom is known for sporting a gravity-defying quiff of sandy blond hair. He has a square jaw and strong grey eyes.

## Plot

Rhys made his debut appearance in Obsidio, when he was employed by BeiTech Industries to assist with technical issues on Kerenza IV. He was chatting to his superior officer when a bomb exploded, knocking him to the ground.

Shortly after landing, he runs with his ex-girlfriend Asha Grant, who struggles to persuade him to join the resistance against BeiTech's takeover while also assisting her in creating an attack strategy and broadcasting an SOS message to Mao.

Rhys believes Asha stole a number of sticks of Thermex, which has the potential to be extremely devastating and kill many people, when fighting broke out. He hands her over to be taken prisoner, but subsequently manages to rescue her and aids her in evading his other troops so that she may locate Katya Kowalski.

MEMENTO

**MEMENTO: An ILLUMINAE Files novella** is a novella in the *The ILLUMINAE Files series*. It is a prequel to *ILLUMINAE: The ILLUMINAE Files 01* and features AIDAN as the main character.

## Synopsis

December, 2574. Forty-three days before the BeiTech attack on Kerenza IV.

This is the story of my first friendship.

This is the tale of my first murder?

Some monsters are born.

But I?

< ERROR >

I was made.

## Plot

The story starts off with an e-mail from Olivia Klein to her father, Johan Klein. The email describes how she's passed the psych evaluation and is now officially a crew member aboard UTA battlecarrier *Alexander.* Next, we are introduced to Olivia Klein from AIDAN's perspective. It is important to note that AIDAN is first formally introduced to Olivia six weeks before it sustains damage from the attack at Kerenza IV. AIDAN makes remarks that Olivia is seen to have strings tied to her fingers in all different colours, with a single word tattooed around both her left and right pointer fingers: *Memento.*

The novella continues to follow AIDAN and Olivia's interactions, mostly from AIDAN's point of view. The most important conversations between the two is their conversation about the trolley problem and one of their final conversations about the origins of Olivia's finger tattoos. Other important details that are noticed is that before AIDAN is damaged on Kerenza, the text during its segments originates from the left instead of from the middle like in the three main novels and it refers to itself in the third person because it is not alive.
Travis Falk

**Travis Falk** is the Team Commander that leads the BeiTech acquisition team in the Terra Day attack on Heimdall Jump Station.

## Personality

Travis Falk is very level-headed and, even in stressing situations, remains calm. While taking over Heimdall Jump Station, he strictly follows instructions given by Leanne Frobisher, keeps the team organized, and even seems to find it quite amusing to see the habitants' fear.

He is also extremely intimidating; even his battle-hardened underling and Alpha Squad leader Fleur Russo fears his wrath. When Russo blatantly disobeys his orders, he almost cordially invites her into the late Commander's office, which he's assumed charge of. When she arrives, he attacks her, purposely holding back to make sure she gets the message but is left intact to hunt down the *Heimdall* survivors. He does this all with "almost casual brutality" and a smile on his face.

## Appearance

Travis Falk has blond hair, which is shaved into a short fauxhawk, and ice blue eyes. He is tall and heavily built like an ice miner with "a biceps bigger than a head", according to Sam Wheaton. On his chin, he has a tuft of hair. He is of Norse descent.

## History

### Takeover of Heimdall

Travis Falk leads the assault on *Heimdall Jump Station*. His entry is assisted by Operative Rapier, who tricks the House of Knives into smuggling them in, and he proceeds to kill the existing leaders and commandeer the station.

## Skills & Abilities

Travis Falk is very skilled at combat. He proves this throughout the attack on Heimdall and when he attacks Fleur Russo when she blatantly disregards his orders.

He is also very logical: he plans carefully and is very tactical in how he attempts to get the wormhole back online.
Wallace Ulyanov Consortium

**The Wallace Ulyanov Consortium** is a Hermium mining company which headquarters are located on Ares IV.

## Plot

The WUC is revealed to have a clandestine hermium mining colony on the planet Kerenza IV in the first book of the series. BeiTech Industries, a WUC rival, learns about this. BeiTech makes the impulsive decision to invade the planet and take the innocent settlers with it rather than reporting the colony to the body that upholds international law and justice (the United Terran Authority).

Some of the escaping refugee ships carrying survivors are really WUC vessels. Furthermore, some of the refugees are WUC miners or family members of miners, and WUC employees frequently use the wormhole and operate Heimdall Jump Station. In order to flee the BeiTech auditor squads, Hanna Donnelly sheds her jumpsuit in Gemina and dons a grey Consortium outfit.

Helena Grant

**Helena Grant** is a survivor of the invasion of Kerenza IV, the mother of Kady Grant, wife of Isaac Grant, and aunt of Samaira and Asha Grant. She is a pathologist - she studies diseases, which turns out to be a useful skill in the first book of the Illuminae Files series.

## Personality

One can assume she is a loving, kind mother from letters exchanged with her daughter Kady. She's hardworking, and has a strong sense of duty as well.

## Plot

Helena Grant survives the initial attack on Kerenza IV, and escapes on the Wallace Ulyanov Consortium mining vessel *Copernicus*, which is then nuked by AIDAN on the *Alexander* to slow/stop the spread of the Phobos virus*.* She survives the destruction of the *Copernicus* and arrives in Bay 4 in the *Alexander.*

It is assumed that she died somewhere between the destruction of the *Copernicus* and the destruction of the *Alexander,* either because she was killed by someone afflicted with the Phobos virus or because the Phobos virus took over her body, as when Kady goes to find her, she is nowhere to be found.

## Activity

The House of Knives primarily deals in tetraphenetrithylamine, or dust, but other protection rackets are also used. Crimes committed by members and associates of the family include assault, murder, and robbery. The syndicate is also affiliated with several lawyers/attorneys, who defend the HoK's members in court, and even a network of lackeys within the jail system. They also have several family members doing legal business - one of Nik and Ella's connections is to an underrated restaurant in New Petersburg that serves pelmeni.

The HoK has two branches, with the main branch based in the city of New Petersburg, while a second branch is based on Heimdall Jump Station.

The House of Knives's traditional style of burial for deceased members includes poker chips laid over the eyes, and arms crossed over the chest. This is mentioned in GEMINA: The ILLUMINAE Files 02.

Terra Day attack

The Terra Day attack describes a BeiTech assault on Heimdall Jump Station on Terra Day - August 16th, 2575.

## Plot

On August 11th, 2575, Nik Malikov is threatened via whisperNET into helping with smuggling a biotainer aboard the *Heimdall*. The request sent by BeiTech operative Sam Maginot, who has hijacked the whisperNET account of Sam Wheaton. Maginot threatens to expose Hanna Donnelly's drug exchanges with him should Nik and the House of Knives not comply.

Once onboard, the BeiTech squad commander Travis Falk eliminates anyone who might get in his way. However, they're unable to capture Hanna Donnelly, Nik Malikov, Ella Malikova and Isaac Grant. The four fight together to save the wormhole, the Kerenza IV survivors aboard the incoming ship *Hypatia*, and their own lives.

Soraya Een Hajji

**Soraya "Juliet" Een Hajji** is a member of the House of Knives's branch on Jump Station Heimdall*.* She is most likely not related to the Malikov family; rather, she is a close associate of theirs.

## Personality

Soraya seems to be light-hearted but intimidating, cracking a few jokes while filming the Lanima injection tutorial but sticking to their original goal when things get tense between Nik and Mikhail Malikov, and jokingly showing off after she successfully helps the Mao dock at *Heimdall*. She also seems to be at least a bit friendly; when Nik starts to feel sick, she lets him wear the camera to film instead of holding Lucy the cow still.

## Appearance

Een Hajji is described as a tall brunette, looking "hard as reinforced titanium". She is also mentioned to have many tattoos; the sleeve of knives that means full membership of the House of Knives at least, as she is a close associate with Mikhail Malikov.

## Plot

Een Hajji is first mentioned as she works with the Malikovs on the *Heimdall*, while they are filming a tutorial on how to raise Lanima to produce dust. She also appears when they are smuggling BeiTech auditors from the *Mao*, working with the technology and coordinating with them to deliver the biotainer. The auditors kill her and the other present House of Knives members (including Mikhail Malikov, Giovanni Genovesi, and Ivan Federov) before starting their takeover of the jump station.
David Taylor

David Taylor was the former Director of Aquisitions at the corporation BeiTech Industries.

## Plot

Instead of reporting the unlawful Hermium mining colony on Kerenza IV to the UTA, Taylor authorised an invasion and seizure of the planet after learning that BeiTech's rival, the Wallace Ulyanov Consortium, had established one there. The ships Lincoln, Magellan, Zhongzheng, Kenyatta, and Churchill were used in the assault, along with the introduction of an experimental disease in an effort to disable everyone in their path. Thousands of innocent citizens were killed or lost as a consequence, and this contributed to the beginning of what Leanne Frobisher subsequently referred to as a "PR disaster". In an effort to quiet the escape survivors and cover up its own crimes, the firm sent battleships and dreadnoughts after them. The Illuminae Group was one notable survivor; they cooperated to stay alive and seek justice for BeiTech.

## GEMINA: The ILLUMINAE Files 02

In an effort to correct Taylor's errors, Leanne Frobisher, the mother of survivor Ezra Mason, takes Taylor's position, indicating that he has either resigned or been dismissed. Frobisher continues to mock Taylor for her hasty decisions and how she must now take responsibility for them.
Syra Boll

**Syra Boll** was the executive officer on the *Hypatia*.

## Personality

Boll is seen in the books to be responsible and authoritative, trusting in her own ability ot make decisions for the greater good. However, she doesn't listen to her inferiors as much, and is somewhat stubborn in keeping her policies.

## Plot

After Captain Ann Chau's death on 7/28/2575, Boll becomes the acting captain of the *Hypatia*. With the help of Kady Grant and Ezra Mason, she leads the ship towards Heimdall Jump Station in the hopes of getting the word out to the world about the Kerenza IV invasion by BeiTech Industries. They work with Hanna Donnelly, Ella Malikova and Nik Malikov to thwart the BeiTech assault fleet and figure out the wormhole physics, finally reconvening on the captured BeiTech ship *Mao*.

Afterwards, though, an insurrection led by Ben Garver breaks out on the way back to Kerenza IV. Garver doesn't agree with Boll's policies of enlisting teenagers (who he sees as untrustworthy and irresponsible) and is outraged at the conditions in which refugees of the Kerenza and *Heimdall* invasion live, and rallies officers (mostly fellow former residents of the *Heimdall*) to overthrow Syra and assume command of the ship. Boll is killed by Garver on 9/3/2575 as a result.

However, Kady Grant, Hanna Donnelly, Ezra Mason, Nik Malikov, Ella Malikova and AIDAN work together and fight back. They are successful, and Winifred McCall becomes the new Acting Captain of the *Mao*.

Ben Garver

At Heimdall Station, **Ben Garver** serves as the WUC's Security Chief. He later played a significant role in the conflict with BeiTech Industries.

## Personality

Garver really wants to assist the Heimdall refugees, especially his godson Luke and Luke's mother Cara, despite the fact that the Mao's leadership team may all consider him a "pain in the ---." He listens to the concerns and wishes of the migrants with patience and compassion, and he tries his best to accommodate them.

The ultimate objective of surviving the BeiTech assault and remaining unified is obscured by his attention to the refugees' immediate well-being. In addition, he hates individuals who are much younger than him having more authority and responds violently when he doesn't get his way.

## Plot

He escapes aboard the Mao when Heimdall Jump Station is obliterated, acting as the spokesperson for the Heimdall evacuees. Luke and Cara Pangburn and other immigrants live in appalling conditions, and he is outraged by acting captain Syra Boll's practises of placing juveniles in control. Garver leads a violent mutiny aboard the *Mao* along with thirty others, mostly from *Heimdall*. He kills Syra Boll and takes command, preparing to navigate the ship away from its course towards Kerenza IV. An hour later, he is overthrown by Kady, Ezra, Hanna, Nik, Ella and AIDAN. The new acting captain Winifred McCall puts him in the brig, but due to a shortage in trained fighters to take over the *Magellan*, Hanna later frees him.

When it becomes clear that they are besieged and outnumbered during the battle, he issues an order for a cease-fire. He receives the group's obedience instead of McCall, who appears surprised and enraged. He and McCall were working together, and it was subsequently discovered that this was really a distraction.

It is mentioned that Garver has a book contract regarding his experience near the conclusion of Obsidio.
