Kaela Evers
Background
Kaela Evers is a medical doctor on the Trans Soma emergency medical rescue vessel Nightingale 229. He is 32 years old and released from Hazen rehabilitation six months ago. Nick is a former military pilot.
During the events of Supernova (2000) played by Angela Bassett
While getting a neuroscan from Kaela, Nick Vanzant comments on Flyboy and she tells him that A.J. Marley is big on 20th century cultural artifacts so they dressed him as a World War I pilot. Kaela comments on Nick not associating with the rest of the crew and then asks him about his background. She gives him a bottle of Zyracon to help him get over his Hazen addiction. While Kaela is studying up on medical equipment, Nick sits down next to her and she tells him that she was in a relationship once with a Hazen abuser. An emergency distress signal is received and Nick tells them that the signal is five days old and is a direct call specifically to the Nightingale. Nick continues that the signal is from Pohl 6822, specifically the mining operation of Titan 37.
Sweetie tells them that Pohl 6822 was expelled from its orbit and is now a rogue body. Marley tells them that due to the distance they will have to make a dimension drive jump. Sweetie then tells them that the sender of the SOS is Karl Larson, which Kaela recognizes. Before the dimensional jump, Marley has Kaela switch dimensional stabilization units with him. They arrive at their location and find Marley's unit has malfunctioned causing him to partially fuse with the polyglass window. The Nightingale is hit by a debris storm and their fuel tanks are breached. Marley asks Kaela to kill him and she uses her laser cauterizer to kill him. Kaela tells Nick that Marley is dead and later Nick offers Kaela some pear brandy. Nick explains the situation to the crew and a ship from the Titan operation starts heading towards the Nightingale. Benj Sotomejor tries to communicate with the pilot, but the ship is set to autopilot. The spaceship docks with the Nightingale and Karl staggers on board. Kaela doesn't think Karl is the Karl she knew as he appears to be in his early 20's. While he is getting a body scan, Kaela notes that Karl's body has a growth on his bones like they are strengthening themselves.
Kaela tells Nick that she thinks Karl is actually his son, Troy Larson. Nick tells Kaela and Benj that due to them only having five functioning jump units, that he will stay in the shuttle when they do the jump. Karl tells Kaela that he was the last one on Titan and that Karl was his dad, but died three years ago. He continues that Karl told him to call Kaela if he ever needed help and that he regretted not being able to tell her that he was sorry. While searching Karl's ship, Yerzy Penalosa finds a glowing orb and tells Nick about it. Kaela uses Flyboy to transfer the orb to quarantine. Karl tells the others that he heard a signal that ice miners had found something on a rogue moon and then he and his friends found the Titan colony. He tries to make a deal with the crew to sell it, but Nick makes the decision to get rid of it once they are in deep space. Before leaving, Nick tells Kaela that he wants a return ship on the shuttle in case he runs into trouble. Sweetie tells Kaela that the object is made of extra-dimensional isotopic matter and is ninth-dimensional in nature. She says that dispersal of the matter would create new three-dimensional matter at the expense of current matter. Kaela tells Benj that the object is made to get rid of rival advanced species.
After Karl kills Yerzy and Danika Lund, Benj fires a harpoon at Karl and he and Kaela get weapons. Karl goes to the control room and admits to Kaela that he is Karl and that they are made of stardust and everyone is part of the natural process of death and rebirth. Nick radios the ship and taunts Karl. Kaela uses the laser cauterizer to injure Karl and escapes, but Karl manages to make it to the return shuttle and shoots a harpoon gun at what he thinks is Nick, but turns out to be the body of Troy. He and Nick start to fight, but Karl easily overpowers Nick. Kaela cuts off one of Karl's arms and Nick pushes him into a cargo cage and locks him in. Nick and Kaela run to the orb and Sweetie tells them that Karl has escaped and the orb has become unstable. Karl reattaches his arm and destroys all but one of the dimension stabilization units. Karl goes after the orb which is being held by Flyboy and Nick detonates a bomb in it. Kaela and Nick run to the stabilization units and Sweetie tells them that the object will cause a supernova that will reach Earth in 51 years and either destroy life or create a new form of life. Nick and Kaela get into the stabilization unit and after the dimensional jump, Sweetie tells them that they have exchanged 2% of their DNA and Kaela is pregnant with a daughter.
