Music Insp: "Black" - Danger Mouse & Danielle Luppi ft. Norah Jones
Until you travel to that place you can't come back
Where the last painting's gone and all that's left is black
At last those coming came and they never looked back
With blinding stars in their eyes but all they saw was black
And when you follow through and wind up on your back
Looking up at those stars in the sky those white clouds have turned it black

I have created a backstory to try to fit the artwork above.
Though she appears to be a teenage girl, 88 is actually over 1,000 years old, having spent most of her existence in suspended animation along with thousands of other teenagers dispatched from Earth as its biosphere was slowly collapsing. She was awakened from her sleep by the 87th Caretaker, who intended Diana to take his place while he returned to sleep. To prepare her for her lonely task of overseeing the Salvation's operations, 87 had Diana undergo severe mental conditioning which suppressed both her normal human emotions and her sex drive, making her rather like a Vulcan of Star Trek. Well, not quite; sometimes her original personality does surface anyway and makes her feel very depressed.
Despite her lack of emotion, 88 still needs to be entertained, and she mostly gets it in the form of video games. The Salvation's computer has hundreds of video games programmed into it, but 88 also has access to game consoles that were taken from Earth and were originally owned by an earlier Caretaker who collected them; now they are hers.
