kirke here is the kind of dedicated worker praised by the chain of command for her hard work and sacrifices to the cause who with the help of other professionals, engineers and technician manage to replace a whole team of com specialists and manage a large ship's entire crew's back and forth and communications all thanks to her belief in the righteousness of the armada (while in truth she's chronically depressed in a world and society that has doesn't recognize it and has long since forgotten how such things were supposed to be properly treated)
