Olivia Vlogs in Space.
At fourteen, she started talking to a camera because she couldn't talk to her father. Nine years later she's an engineering cadet on humanity's first deep-space mission, still talking to that same lens — only now it's pointed at the dark, and the line home takes years.
When Olivia Locke was fourteen, she started talking to a camera because she could not talk to her father. He was gone; the camera was the last thing he gave her. Nine years later she is twenty-two, an engineering cadet aboard the SS Pathfinder — one of 84,522 people who left Earth in 2098 on humanity's first true deep-space mission — and she is still talking to that same lens. Her channel, Liv at Lightspeed, has been running for an audience of strangers who watched her grow up. She is not going to stop now.
There is no live line home. Every transmission crawls back to Earth at the speed of light, and every reply crawls out the same way — a conversation measured in years. It arrives when it arrives. She films anyway. Somebody might be listening.
Each episode is a complete piece of work — as long as it needs to be, with proper act breaks and resolved beats. The destination is Proxima Centauri b. The story is not in a hurry.
