Eve Marceau, Ascension

Eve Marceau (Aliyah O’Brien)

Sci fi mystery Ascension took place aboard a massive, self-sustaining generation ship set to colonize a different planet and the story began 51 years into the journey with the murder of a young woman. Samantha Krueger was introduced as an investigator on Earth, hired as a security consultant to solve the on-board murder mystery from the outside.

During her investigation, Samantha met Eve Marceau, a conspiracy theorist, who helped her in the investigation. Samantha found out that the Ascension was in fact not a spaceship and never left Earth; it was actually a psychological experiment being carried out in a mock spaceship inside a secret underground facility. Eve slipped up and revealed she was a “honey trap” and working to protect the Ascension project rather than expose it, before she killed Samantha.

Eve’s sexuality is unclear. Although Samantha explicitly referred to Eve as a “honey trap”, implying a sexual element to their relationship, and Eve called her “sweetie” after shooting her, they did not share any romantic scenes on-screen and the relationship seemed to appear out of nowhere.
