Mark
Who is Mark?
Mark is what survival looks like after official employment curdles into private preparation. He does not arrive with polish. He arrives with locks, equipment, suspicion, and a cabin that refuses to be only a cabin.
Role in the novel
Mark turns resistance into engineering. His spoiler safe function is practical and unnerving: when the state learns to control bodies through signals, somebody has to learn how to interrupt the signal.
Key themes
- signal interference
- survival engineering
- exile after service
- practical paranoia
