(Added relationships for winzik and spensa, as well as a quote) |
||
|
[[Winzik]] took Brade from her parents at an early age, probably recognizing her cytonic abilities, to use her to form the secret core of the Delver Resistance Program. On its surface, the program espoused defense of the [[Superiority]] by fielding a fleet of pilots to navigate a delver maze, reach its heart, and detonate a weapon that feeds the delver the cytonic coordinates of the human preserve on [[Detritus]]. The true purpose of this program, however, was to provide Winzik with a core of powerful cytonics, such as Brade, with which he could summon delvers at will and direct them to wipe out rebellious groups.{{book ref|sky2|35}}

|Winzik is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. Obviously, he understood our limits better than we did.

Brade is loyal to Winzik to a fault, due to his oversight of her upbringing. He has brainwashed her into believing that he is a genius and cannot make mistakes, and that humans are vile and despicable creatures, and that he alone can save her from their savagery she would have fallen to had she stayed with her parents. Sometimes Winzik uses her to intimidate people{{book ref|sky2|11}} because she is a human being, and they collaborated to develop the cytonic coordinates planting weapon that was to be used on the delver.{{book ref|sky2|31}} Brade was also a conspirator in Winzik's planned coup, but believed that Winzik was getting rid of a valuable asset in Spensa by trying to have her killed.{{book ref|sky2|45}}

|''Our'' people? What are they to me? You seem so hung up on the idea that I should owe those humans on Detritus something, just because we share a distant heritage. My opportunities are here. Winzik wants you dead. He rightly sees you as a threat. Your only hope is to come with me, and let me persuade him you can still be of use.

Brade is suspicious of Spensa because she is a project of the Department of Species Integration, and its department head, Cuna, is a powerful enemy of Winzik. Brade grows more suspicious of her, thinking she is a cytonic, as Spensa grows frightened whenever the [[Weights and Measures]] hyperjumps, indicating she is seeing the delvers in the nowhere during the jump.{{book ref|sky2|21}} She also feels Spensa eavesdropping on her Winzik, and Tizmar's conversation outside the cafeteria and grows even more suspicious.{{book ref|sky2|17}}
At the beginning of her time training for the delver maze, Brade flies on her own, even after Spensa is appointed assistant flightleader.{{book ref|sky2|22}}{{book ref|sky2|25}} It is only when Spensa gets the flight organized and well drilled that Brade begins to see the value of working in a cohesive unit.{{book ref|sky2|26}} She grows closer to Spensa and the pair became two of the best wingmates in the program, becoming indistinguishable from wingmates who had been together for decades, covering each other at the right times, moving within centimeters of each other while still having enough space, and moving in perfect sync.{{book ref|sky2|25}}
Brade's relationship with Spensa shatters when Spensa drops her hologram and reveals she was never Alanik, and that she is the human spy, escaped from [[Detritus]]. Ever loyal to Winzik, Brade sounds the alarm, shouting that the human spy was actually Alanik masquerading as a human, and runs to inform Winzik.{{book ref|sky2|36}}
The pair find each other on opposite sides of the battlefield above Detritus, when Brade succeeds in summoning a delver.{{book ref|sky2|40}} They meet once again after Spensa moves the delver to [[Starsight (station)|Starsight]], and race each other to the delver's heart.{{book ref|sky2|43}}
Brade's final confrontation with Spensa comes when she saves Spensa's life by shoots down a military plane targeting Spensa by firing a rocket launcher. Brade, seeing Spensa's value as a cytonic and fellow human, offers to deal with Winzik and allow Spensa to join them in their coup, and become a part of Winzik's defense force and rule the galaxy with him.{{book ref|sky2|45}}
