Ginger Lewis. She's an engineer and Bernardus knows who keeps the ships running, she's bright and poised and with a certain maturity about her.
Isn't Ginger (like Paolo and Wanderman) in somewhat of a Schrödinger state right now? Was she or wasn't she (and Wanderman) aboard
Weyland when the Yawata Strike occurred? Was Paolo aboard
Nasty Kitty (Or aboard
Hephaestus? Or (reasonably) safe dirtside?
Inquiring minds (and Helen Zwiliki) want to know!
I know she's been busy playing Flag Lieutenant, but has Helen even thought about Paolo since Yawata?
IIRC Paolo had been off-the-ship, I seem to recall a small briefing between Fitzgerald and some other officer about Paolo being 'peeved' about not being aboard when they moved into a slip for the repairs. This was just prior to the Oyster Bay attack, so logically Paolo should be alive, simply because he was ordered to go spend time with family.
On a similar nature, at least so far as Lewis/Wanderman are concerned, I think it was Lewis who came by, was involved in, the one Lieutenant who was bitching about the evacuation (and how it could have been done better), and getting chewed out.
And since they reported together, and both Lewis and Wanderman watch out for each other (from their times on both Wayfarer, and Hexapuma) before reporting for duty about Weyland, and Lewis having survived (probably) then I think as a lower-level
Beauty and the Beast pairing, if one has survived then the other should also be alive.

Found a snippet off the wiki, right before clicking submit.
in early 1922 PD, after returning to Manticoran space, Paulo was assigned to the fabrication department aboard the space station HMSS Weyland, along with Aubrey Wanderman. He and Wanderman were evacuated along with the station's research staff during an emergency drill, causing them both to survive the destruction of Weyland in Operation Oyster Bay.[2] (HH12)
So both Wanderman and Paolo were in the evacuation, Aikawa Kagiyama (the midshipman who survived the Nasty Kitty due to leave, not Paolo like I think),
By early 1922 PD, she had been promoted to Captain (JG) and was assigned to research and developement division under Admiral Yeager's staff aboard the space station HMSS Weyland. She was absent due to a training exercise when the station was destroyed by the Mesan Alignment Navy's Operation Oyster Bay. (HH12)
And Ginger Lewis survived, because she reported for duty (ground-side I presume), at the exact time of the
evacuation exercise which was merely hours before Oyster Bay. while the Admiral (and his aides, which would have had Lewis had she reported early) walked inspection.
