“Julienne the Technician” by Fabian Alvarado

Previous Page:

A woman who has no arms is positioned in front of an open mechanical panel. In the lower right corner, there is a circular window that looks out on to a planet. The woman appears to be floating in zero gravity. There is writing on the wall behind her that has an arrow pointing left and the partially obscured words, “Gate B2—.” The woman has long hair tied in a ponytail and is wearing a hard hat with an insignia on it, a harness around her upper body (which is attached to a clip on her left side, holding her in place), a jumpsuit that ends at her ankles, and toe-fitted socks on her feet. Between the toes of her right foot, she holds a small computer board. A cut piece of wiring hangs down around her left leg, held in place with her left toes. She is looking down with concentration as she works.
