After emerging into the nowhere, Spensa sensed [[Chet|the delver she changed]] at Starsight, and could feel its fear. She communicated with it, and it told her she could learn more about her powers in the nowhere. It put a location in her mind, telling her to walk the [[Path of Elders]]. Spensa told Doomslug to go home, then hyperjumped to the location in her mind.{{book ref|sky3|prologue}}
Jorgen is Spensa's boyfriend.{{book ref|Cytonic|i|1}} They originally got off on a bad foot, due to Jorgen being admitted into flight school without completing the admission test and his ordering around of Skyward Flight prior to being made flightleader.{{book ref|Skyward|5}}{{book ref|Skyward|8}} As a result, she nicknames him "Jerkface", which later becomes his callsign, much to his chagrin. {{book ref|Skyward|9}} Jorgen also outs Spensa as being the daughter of Zeen Nightshade, The Coward of Alta, after Spensa bests him during flight practice.{{book ref|Skyward|15}} In retaliation, she steals his car's power matrix.{{book ref|Skyward|15}} The animosity in their relationship reaches a peak when they get into a fight which ends in Spensa physically attacking Jorgen.{{book ref|Skyward|23}} Spensa expects Jorgen to report her, but instead he tells her that he needs every pilot on the flight, even her.{{book ref|Skyward|24}} After Hurl's death, Jorgen helps Spensa give her a pilot's burial and they discuss how the both of them live in their parent's shadows. Jorgen also allows Spensa to steal parts from Hurl's ship and encourages her to build her own ship so that she can fly and be Defiant.{{book ref|Skyward|34}}{{book ref|Skyward|35}} Later on, they talk about the deaths of their flightmates and hug.{{book ref|Skyward|41}}. Spensa also confides in Jorgen about her and her father's "defect", and he calls her amazing and reassures her that he still wants her on his flight.{{book ref|Skyward|44}} Both of them, along with the rest of the Skyward Flight fly together in the Battle of Alta Second.{{book ref|Skyward|52}}
Jorgen later tells Spensa off for her recklessness and helps her vocalise her thoughts and why she pushed herself so hard.{{book ref|Starsight|3}} Spensa then notes that his being an embodiment of the order, unlike her, made it difficult for them to begin a romantic relationship.{{book ref|Starsight|3}}. After [[Alanik]] crash lands on Detritus, Spensa discusses infiltrating Starsight with Jorgen. He helps by walking her through the practical aspects of her plan and encouraging her to go, telling her he trusts her,

When the Superiority brings [[Chet|a delver]] into the physical realm to attack Detritus, Spensa ultimately defeats it by teaching it empathy.{{book ref|Starsight|45}} Renouncing its former hatred, the delver creates a mortal form for itself in order to help and guide Spensa through Cytonic training in the Nowhere, choosing the name Chet Starfinder.{{book ref|Cytonic|5}}{{book ref|Cytonic|39}} The delvers' hatred of Spensa is especially great because, as they see it, she corrupted one of them.{{book ref|Cytonic|43}}▼
