Jack of Harts

One of the ship girls I pulled as a teenager actually did volunteer to serve with me. She was a light carrier in the game she came from. Sometimes she says many of her sisters volunteered and they drew straws. I maintain she won the draw. She usually says she drew the short straw when she reminds me of that. I can’t imagine why. Whatever the entire truth of the process, she wanted to be a ship, and the Cybernetic Council gave her a ship. A Privateer. My Privateer. Every AI or cyber has a specialization they are programmed to be best at. She was born to be a ship cyber, and she is very good at what she does. She saved my life more times than I can count with my boots on. Or off for that matter. And she is the reason my Privateer is named Ranger.
