She won the Void Derby that year. No sponsors. No team. Just BB_Jett and a secondhand engine held together by spite and welding slag. When she crossed the finish line — three seconds ahead of the corporate favorite — she didn’t wave. She didn’t cry.

By eighteen, BB_Jett was a ghost in the lower atmo races — no license, no sponsor, no parachute. Just a girl in a patched flight suit and a helmet she’d spray-painted neon pink so the news cams would catch the streak. She flew like she had nothing to lose because, well. She didn’t.
