Jesse
Jesse James was lucky in cards, but very unlucky in flight training. He was actually the first of us to breathe vacuum by accident. His training craft suffered a catastrophic malfunction that resulted in every flight surface locking open, every maneuvering thruster lighting off, and the main engines going to full burn. Then the cockpit opened wide a split second before the ejection seat kicked in and sent him flying off into the void without an emergency beacon. His flight suit’s air and energy reserves ran out before we tracked him down, and he spent the better part of an hour breathing vacuum. He was not pleasant looking when we dragged him inside, let me tell you, and any normal human would not have survived. But we Ageless are hard to kill all the way, so he healed up as good as new in a few days. That is when we started calling him the Flying Dutchman. Dutchman for short. Because we care like that.
