Story: "Irrevocable Authorization"

 


Mara Vale Sci-Fi Noir Saga


Irrevocable Authorization

Episode One: Introducing the Mara Vale Saga

by Rodriac Copen


Synopsis

In an orbital megacity where violence is outsourced and morality is managed by contract, Mara Vale was just another logistics analyst. Her job was mundane, well-paid, efficient. Very useful to the corporation.

A routine order—an administrative authorization like so many others—triggers the depressurization of several entire city blocks. Thousands dead. Among them, her partner. The corporation erases evidence, buys silence, and turns Mara into a controlled error: they compensate her, protect her… and then try to reprogram her.

Mara survives interrogations, faulty implants, and partial memory erasures. She escapes incomplete, her body altered and her mind fragmented, but with a new certainty: normality is not a state, but a favorable statistic.

Rebuilt on the city's fringes, trained by an old military instructor and accompanied by Lila—a woman who teaches her to read desire as a social language—Mara stops seeking justice. The dead don't come back. What she seeks is a private settlement, an imperfect form of compensation in a system designed not to provide it.

Irrevocable Authorization is the origin of a series of independent pulp noir science fiction stories: tales of contracts, bodies and irreversible decisions, where no one is a hero and every signature has consequences.
