The Rise of Jacob Keller

[Leo]

I sat the ship down on Malta after some convincing of the locals in orbit and proceeded to the bar. I noticed that the bar was pretty baren. Everyone must have been called down to Eta to take care of the rogue AI causing issues down there, and the AI must be having a difficult time of it, because it stopped chasing me. I chose to get a single drink because I was going to put some distance between me and that bloody thing when an Outcast woman came into the bar.

"Oh sh-" I whispered and slid down in the booth trying to hide myself. "Devil woman."

"Jacob! Keller!" she screamed staring at me.

"Crap. Time to go..." I said to myself standing up and trying to leave the bar in a quick manner.

"Hey! Get back here!"

"Nope, don't think so." I said to myself again and rushed out the door towards my ship.

Her name was Issy, and she was a psycho. I dated her back before I started wearing the suit on a regular basis. We had good times, then she turned into a psycho jelous bitch who followed me around asking me who else I was seeing. I broke it off with her just before I became a regular member of the CoC and started making a name for myself in Sirius. She stalked me for weeks until I put a hit out on her ship, since then she'd stopped...probably because she had her ship blown up.

"I'm not asking again, Jake!" she said walking quickly out onto the landing pad.

"I know you won't." I said jumping into my ship and taking off. She stood on the landing pad shaking her fist at me as I cleared the atmosphere and back out into space. I shook my head and proceeded towards the Tau-37 jumphole. As I did so, a ship came up on the scanners labeled "Nemesis". I groaned as the ship blocked the Jumphole, causing me to cut cruise.

"You and I need to talk."
