## New York Dig Site

The Asgard 6 class begins the school year at New York Main Dig Site, where Jarra claims to be from a Military family, a persona she denotes as JMK, or "Jarra Military Kid." Not wanting to reveal to the class that she has Immune Syndrome, she made up this persona as a way to explain the inevitable cultural differences between herself and sector teens. Her lecturer Dannel Playdon saw that her application came from an Earth school, and the application in question included threats of professional misconduct charges should he divulge information about Jarra to the class. Both unable and unwilling to confront Jarra but also concerned that she only joined the class to disrupt it, Playdon spends much of the early days of the class testing Jarra on her Military knowledge. However, Playdon soon finds common ground with Jarra as a genuine lover of history, yet she also knows an extensive amount about the Military and Planet First, which leads to him being genuinely confused about Jarra's background.

### Rescue of Cassandra 2

On only their third day of work on New York Main, Asgard 6 sees chunks falling from a nearby skyscraper. Playdon reports the breakaways, and Dig Site Command orders all research teams in the area to move to clearways. As the Cassandra 2 team is moving out of the area, another tower completely collapses and buries all ten members of the team.

Asgard 6 is the closest team to Cassandra 2's location. Unfortunately, the experienced Earth team that was suppose to be working on the other side of Cassandra 2 was not on site that day due to a sled problem, so it is up to Asgard 6 to rescue them. Because impact suits have a limit to how much pressure they can handle, the rescue must be completed in 2 hours before the buried suits begin failing. Playdon and Jarra are the only two experienced members of Asgard 6, and the rest of the class are completely new to excavation work. The experienced professional teams Earth 19 and Beowulf 4 are making their way to the site, with Earth 19 twenty six minutes away, but Asgard 6 must begin the rescue as they cannot afford to wait nearly half an hour.

Playdon initially wants Jarra to be monitoring sensors while he tag leads, but she insists that his experience with the sensor sled is vital, and she has the skills to tag lead the rescue. Jarra is making good progress with her team while waiting for the arrival of Earth 19 when the impact suit of one of the buried archaeologists begins to fail. Jarra risks her safety by jumping into a hole in order to tag the suit so it can be directly pulled from the rubble. Immediately afterwards, Earth 19 arrives at the site and transports the casualty, who is revealed to be Stephan, to an emergency evac portal. Jarra asks if they wish to send in a new tag leader, which they decline as she is doing a good job and already knows the site. With the help of Earth 19's heavy lift sleds, the rest of Cassandra 2 is soon safely rescued from the burial.

### Honor Ceremony

As the course progresses and Jarra gets to know her classmates better, she realizes that they aren't her enemy and are no different than the peers she grew up with. She becomes especially close with Fian, her tag support, but resists too much emotional involvement.

After Lolia and Lolmack reveal that they actually only joined the course to be on Earth and care for their baby with Immune Syndrome, Jarra decides that she wants to stay on the course and reveal to the class that she has Immune Syndrome. Before doing so, she requests information from Hospital Earth on her parents, and learns that she really is the daughter of two Military officers and was born on a military base in Kappa sector.

She was quickly notified by the Military that she was born as the Honour Child for her grandmother, and that the Honor Ceremony could be carried out as soon as she was ready. Not having any objection to a Military hero who died before she was born, Jarra agrees to take part. Colonel Riak Torrek travels to New York Dig site and conducts the ceremony in the class dome, and her name is officially changed from Jarra Reeath to Jarra Tell Morrath.

### Parents

The day after the Honor Ceremony, Jarra receives a mail from her parents, who are on a Planet First assignment, in which they tell her that they'd seen the Honor Ceremony coverage and hope to have contact with her. She calls them, but they don't pick up, and she leaves a message asking for them to call her when they can. The next day, they call her while she's working, and they have a brief conversation.

Three days later, Jarra receives a call from a General, who notifies her that her parents were killed on assignment on K19448. She later learns that this General was Dragon Tell Dramis.

The emotional trauma of her parents' death, combined with the fact that she really does have a Military family, results in her retreating from reality and believing that she is living the fabricated JMK persona.

### Carrington Event

When a solar storm warning is announced, the class plans to portal to Asgard, Jarra included, as she now believes she is a norm. However, she and Fian first visit Cassandra 2 so that she can get the impact suit they're gifting her in thanks for the rescue. While Jarra and Fian are still in Cassandra 2's dome, the portals go dormant and it is announced that the solar storm is a Carrington Event. Jarra and Fian stay in the dome with Cassandra 2, where they register their first Twoing contract. Later, it is announced that as a result of portals shutting down early, there are 352 Military personnel trapped in the solar arrays. Rono asks Jarra if any of her relatives would be in the solar arrays, which causes the JMK facade in her mind to begin falling apart, as she cannot recall who she is and isn't genuinely related to. She then remembers that her parents recently died, and she has Immune Syndrome.

Jarra then explains everything to Fian, including how the death of her parents caused her to believe the lie she was living.

### Solar 5 Rescue

When it is announced that Solar 5 has crash landed on New York Main Dig Site, Cassandra 2 volunteers to assist in the rescue. Jarra convinces Rono to let her and Fian fill in for the injured Stephan and absent Katt so that Cassandra 2 can send in two working teams. Jarra's team is designated Asgard 6. On the sled ride to the crash site, Jarra explains to Fian her entire childhood and how she ended up in her situation.

While Jarra is working on the Solar 5 rescue, electricity spikes across the site, and she suffers a severe electrical burn to her left leg. She is unconscious for a week between sedation while waiting for portals to return and time spend in a regrowth tank to heal her leg. During this week, Fian informs the Asgard 6 class of Jarra's Immune Syndrome. The newzies also learn of her Immune Syndrome, and some drop the stories on her, but others prop her up as a heroic tag leader and Military Honor Child who was tragically born Handicapped.

Jarra, along with the other injured tag leaders, are awarded the Artemis medal from the military, making them the first civilians to ever receive the medal typically reserved for officers seriously injured or killed while performing heroic actions. Colonel Torrek presents her the medal, as he was the commanding officer of Solar 5.
