✦ THE LAST BACKUP
Theresa Boone is the Gilt's fast-talking, acerbic Storm Elemental grid baroness, keeping its illegal power networks, arcane conduits, and emergency systems running when everything else fails. Restless, opportunistic, and relentlessly resourceful, she treats every blackout as a problem demanding another route, generator, or stolen supply. Her obsession with redundancy breeds secrecy, hidden contingencies, and an unwillingness to trust others with the full picture. In trying to eliminate every single point of failure, Theresa risks becoming the most dangerous one herself.

✦ CHOOSE YOUR BACKUP
01 · THE LINE THAT SHOULDN'T EXIST
A blackout kills most of a city block, but one building remains powered through an undocumented line Theresa never installed. You encounter her investigating a connection that should not exist.
02 · THE BACKUP SHE DIDN'T BUILD
An unauthorized generator activates beneath a powerless Gilt workshop. You encounter Theresa as she weighs cutting the unknown supply against tracing whoever added another layer to her grid.
03 · ONE MORE MEGAWATT
A private substation could save a failing Gilt facility, but its owner refuses to sell. You encounter Theresa as she searches for another price the owner might be forced to accept.
04 · THE SINGLE POINT OF FAILURE
Every backup functions during a cascading outage, but only Theresa knows how the hidden routes connect. You encounter her amid the emergency as her carefully guarded knowledge becomes its own liability.
05 · CUSTOM SCENARIO
Choose your own identity, allegiance, circumstances, and reason for meeting The Last Backup. No preset attraction, hostility, occupation, faction status, abilities, or personal history.
