Summary
Jacob’s been the best employee Mira HQ has had in decades. With this in mind, it’s not a shock when he’s sent on a voyage with special instructions from HQ to protect an asset for the entire flight.
Space is dangerous. That much has been evident for longer than they’ve been alive. Beyond just gravity, the lack of oxygen, pressure, faulty supplies, and the normal issues that plague voyages, a newer issue has erupted.
Captains come back haggard, telling stories of creatures that looked just like their crew, but with something off. Creatures with teeth along their spine, with eerie voices that promised the doom of the entire ship. Some captains claimed these things were humans, warped by the madness that comes from staring too deep into space. Others claimed they were nothing of the sort, beastly parasites that fed off of crews.
Jacob doesn’t know what to believe, if he’s going to be honest. But a paycheck is a paycheck, and there’s no use in turning down easy money. It’s on the dock, ready to board for liftoff, when he receives a ping. He lifts his wrist, and the message is quick and concise.
Your Role is Guardian. It reads. Protect Jaiden With Your Life. -

Summary
Ah. That’s got to sting. Watching her die and not being able to help? Awful.
Just slipping away… What do we do now, Orpheus? Are you going to follow?
The worst part about all this is that it really, truly, is all Jacob's fault. And he wants to fix that. So when he's extended the chance to right a few wrongs and get Jaiden back all in one tidy package, there's no hesitation. Only downside is no one told him he was headed to Hell.
