Jack of Harts

Dawn DeMarco came directly from the Outer Colonies to help reinforce Alpha Centauri, and that brought an entirely different experience than we had seen. She grew up with a lot more conflict than those of us who grew up on Earth or Mars ever dreamed of. She may have been a noble on a distant world with all the comforts of modern technology, but she knew how tenuous civilization was. She had fought to defend it for years before The War came upon us all. We needed that experience in the Cowboys, so I was actually very happy when she flew rings around me during my evaluation of her fighting ability. It gave me an excuse no one could question when I stamped my approval on her paperwork. It also allowed me to surprise Charles. He knew how much I disliked the nobility, so he took my recommendation seriously.
