Jack of Harts

Jesse did not handle losing his wingman at Epsilon Reticuli well. He was devastated in fact, and I think he was close to giving up. Maybe he had. It can be hard to tell with him at times. He’s good at hiding his cards. He needed a good mission to perform to keep him going, and he needed a good partner to help him. That is why I transferred Dawn DeMarco to back him up. I knew if anyone could bring him out of his funk it would be her, and I authorized her to use extreme measures to do so. She smiled at me, and started to do exactly that. She even dragged me, and the redoubtable Captain Wyatt, to some of the first formal balls and more informal parties following the Battle of Serenity. Serenity needed to celebrate as much as the rest of us did, and the parties especially were good for public moral. But I’m not really a big party lover, so I was happy when it came time for Wyatt to return home. It gave me the perfect excuse to get away from those dang parties.
