A hush fell over the auditorium, anticipation rippling through the students as she approached. Her posture was poised, confident, yet approachable, a subtle echo of Jack’s commanding presence.

“Good morning, students, faculty, and future innovators of Draconia,” Sarah began, her voice calm yet carrying easily across the auditorium. “I’m Sarah Parker, and while many of you know my husband Jack as the DragonBearer, today I want to share my perspective—the experiences we faced together in space, the lessons we learned, and the advancements we hope to bring to our society through exploration, innovation, and collaboration.”
