I am looking for an old SFW original fiction. I am pretty sure it was posted on QQ. It was with a girl with the inspired inventor first as a high school graduate when a shadow conspiracy notices her genius and arranges for her to go to a new world to help the terraforming effort, and she arranges for the asteroid drop to add water and kickstart a photosynthesis reaction. Then she joins as a communication specialist on a spaceship before inventing Battletech Hyperpulse Generator for FTL communications, and then invents a KF drive with better than the one being used in the story. The story then cuts off, I can't remember the rest.
Pretty sure this is "Forging Ahead" by Cliffc999, but the unfortunate reason you can't remember the rest is because the story ends at that point. Forging Ahead
It's got the girl in high school, she develops genius, makes the terraforming effort with the asteroid, joins the spaceship as communication, and then gets the BattleTech stuff right before the end. The only difference is she has the Celestial Forge instead of Inspired Inventor, but all the plot beats are the same, right down to the shadow conspiracy.
