Doctor Bertrand

Name: Doctor Jacob Bertrand
Age: 38 yrs
Species: Technologically Augmented Human (Somebody)

Primary Elements
1.) Light
2.) Electricity
3.) Metal
4.) Time

Personality: Jacob can be relatively cynical. With that, he’s not exactly the most charismatic, but he does have his moments when he needs to be. He can be brash when talking to people, but underneath it he cares for people near his heart and will do what he can to protect them.

Appearance: He stands at around 5’11” tall. He has dark grey hair with bushy facial hair. Should someone look beneath his hair, they would see rectangular and other shaped bulges where his implants are located. He has light brown eyes, and if one looks closely they can see several tiny inner mechanizations working within them.

History:

-----Pre Time-Skip-----

Spoiler:

-----After/During Time-Skip-----

It took even shorter than Jacob thought it would take before he became a target. While looking for components to try and reproduce Causality in the world within Deep Space, he was confronted by a young woman. He didn’t think much of it at first, most of what she was asking was non specific such as what kind of equipment he was getting and the such. Most of which he answered with non descriptive sentences like ‘things’ and ‘none of your business.’ Things took a turn for the worse when she began mentioning more specific things such as temporal mechanics. The final straw that told him that he should probably run was when she mentioned Project Causality. Not expecting an actual answer, he asked who she was. Surprisingly enough, she introduced herself as Kathryn Ferris before giving him the answer he did expect, that he was going to come with her willing or not.

At this point, he actually ran. He tried and failed to contact Samantha, figuring she was handling her own or already on the Harriman. When he finally reached the ship, PILA told him that his partner was not on board. After less than a few seconds of thought, Jacob decided that Samantha could probably hold her own for the time being before he took off. He planned on trying to find another world where he could hide until he can establish contact with Samantha and rendezvous with her somewhere.

When the Harriman reached orbit, he was welcomed by the sight of another vessel intercepting his own. PILA notified Jacob that the vessel was hailing him, putting the message on his personal viewscreen and found himself face to face with Kathryn once again. After some banter and threats, she demanded his surrender, which was promptly rejected and the hailing session was closed. Almost immediately after, the weapons fire began.

Even without much tactical knowledge, he knew he was outmatched by far. The weapons his assailants were using tore through his shields and was beginning to do serious damage to the Harriman. The only option he had at that moment was to run. He fired up the ship’s Faster Than Light drive in the hopes he can outrun Kathryn's vessel.

However, a failsafe that would normally prevent him from using the temporal drive he earlier equipped on the ship and the native FTL drive simultaneously (and ironically) failed. This sent his vessel through a temporal shunt, landing him 20 years into the future in the same area of space. With no idea where his partner is (if she’s even alive), he began his search, letting PILA handle flying the ship and any other tactical duties.

Other Notes: Jacob once enjoyed coffee, but has had so much in his work to the point that he needs many different creamers to stand it.

Approved.
