However, the boy next door learns of what is happening to Raven. Finn offers to share his rations with her, ultimately saving Raven's life. In Twilight's Last Gleaming she says Finn is her family, because he helped her.Throughout the years the two grew closer and at some point Raven started a romantic relationship with him. Around her 18th birthday she did a test to become a Zero-G Mechanic. She nailed the test, but failed the physical. She is able to go spacewalking illegally when Finn arranges them to use a shaft in maintenance. Things go very bad and Raven is close to being caught and floated when Finn offers to take the blame, stating he will be sent to the sky box because he is under 18, as opposed to Raven who'd get floated.

Afterwords, Sinclair overrules Raven's denied application for Zero-G Mechanic. She goes on to become the youngest Zero-G Mechanic in 52 years.
