Jack of Harts

Ariel lost everything because of me. My plan. My execution. Her loss. Her ship. Her career. Her name. She had to create a new identity and disappear from the world she’d been born to. But at least she got another ship in the bargain. It was the least I could help arrange. Normandy was a century-old light carrier, but the Peloran upgraded her real good. Full gravdecks. New weapons. Better fighters. Better everything. They made her into a dangerous weapon of war, and Ariel took her into battle more times than I can count with my boots on. And you know what? She was the perfect girl for the job. She protected the Wolfenheim Project with all the honor and dedication she’d ever displayed in her first career. Her second life was just as amazing as her first. Maybe even better. She was worth every second I ever spent defending her flanks, and I would gladly do it again if given the chance.
