The Rise of Jacob Keller

[Leo]

Episode Two: Tainted Dreams

I stood staring out of the window aboard Barrier Gate Station, at my empire. Granted, the station was not mine, it belonged to some rich Freelancer whom had allowed the Children to setup shop here, but the station would one day be mine, I knew this for fact. It would take me some time to acquire the rights, but if I knocked the rich Freelancer out of my way, I would not have any trouble taking the station for my own. I had already proved myself once taking over an entire faction, a station would not be that much more difficult. I smiled to myself, that wouldn't be very difficult to do however.

I looked to the suit and sighed. The suit, fresh off the cleaning rack, had just been cleaned extensively after my recent battle with the old leader of the Children. I didn't want to wear it for a while after this happened so I picked up my glasses off the desk and dressed in a long coat jacket and left my office, heading for the ship launch bay. The glasses covered some of the occular implants on either side of my eyes and that coat covered the implants that lined the entirety of my arms along with the metal overlay on them as well.

I made my way towards my ship when I was stopped by a mechanic.

"Woah woah sir, you can't get near that ship, that Commander Keller's private fighter."

I reached out and grabbed the man by the collar, allowing my arms to slide out from underneath the coat sleves. The black metal gleaned in the light of the bay.

"I am Keller, you idiot."

"M-my appoligies sir, I had no idea."

I stomped past him and climbed into the ship, sliding the canopy shut. I eased the ship up and out into the airlock.

I had to pay an old friend a visit, and this was the only way I knew how...
