The Rise of Jacob Keller

[Leo]

Yanagi Station
Sigma-13 System

I sat the ship down nice and easy in the bay of Yanagi, no sense pissing off the Junkers any more than needed. The RT came down with a thud on the bay and the doors behind me slid shut, re-pressurizing the bay the ship was in. As the bay did so, Junkers came out of the doors to tether the ship to the ground with hooks and other devices to prevent the ship from floating into walls and causing damage during the event the anti-gravity generators took damage in an attack.

I jumped out of the ship and made my way to the bar. An elderly gentleman sat at a table located just across the bar from where the entry way was. He looked up to me and grimaced slightly and went back to his drink. I made my way across the bar and sat down next to him.

"Pretty brave o' ya ta be venturin' out without ya suit dere Mr. Keller." he said with a gruff voice like a rake being drug over a gravel road.

"Pretty brave of you to be mentioning that out loud, Mr. Hatcher." I replied.

"Noted. Wha you be needin' me fer Mr. Smith?" said with a wink.

"Names, people I can trust. The Children of Conviction has a new leader, we took a lot of losses recently, need to replinish the membership."

Hatcher laughed, his gruff voice echoing in the bar. Some patrons turned to look at him with a smile, others looked at him with distain. Hatcher looked at them with a look of hatred.

"Ye see all these people in tha bar givin' me the stink eye?" he said.

"I do."

He looked to me with a smile.

"Thay dun know what it takes ta be a Junkah like mahself. I'll get ye yer names, but it'll cost ya, Smith."

"Don't forget who keeps your shipments safe, Hatcher. I can just as quickly as become 'unavaliable' when when you need the help."

Hatcher glared at me as he took another drink.

"Yew play a mean game, Keller."

I smiled and stood up.

"In this game, you have to learn to. I look forward to hearing from you, Johnathan."

With that I left the bar, heading for the shipbay.

You fear oblivion. Yet you forget. The universe remembers every atom of your being. Even dust hums your name in the dark.
