Profile
Ellen Shaw is the Vesta Mining Cooperative's weathered fixer: part logistics, part politics, part make-it-work-before-the-air-gets-expensive.
She has kept frontier communities alive between official answers for long enough to know which old systems still function and which new ones only look clever on paper.
She never fully stopped distrusting central optimisation, a habit that looks like stubbornness until the optimisations start killing people.
