Seventy-Ninth Mission [Audio // Common]

[There's an awkward pause before he speaks.]

What the Major said ... it's all true.

[Jak clears his throat.]

Remy.  How about a drink?

...How odd that I seem to be the only one aside from yourself and those in charge of that horrible project that already knew that.

[Sigh.]

It really is a shame that you never experienced that extra year of development before I met you, Jak. You were so much more comfortable back in Kras.

[He's not lying, either. Jak was pretty level during the racing tourney, and it definitely wasn't unheard of for him to throw around threats on the track regarding his darker self. He doubts this Jak would ever mention the monster he turns into unless he absolutely had to.]

[shadesofeco]

You say that like I settled down there.

[And here Jak assumed he'd eventually settle down in Haven with his friends.]

[farfairersoul]

That would depend on one's definition of "settling." You did not live there, at least not as long as I knew you and not outside your time in the races, but you were certainly more...settled.

You were never particularly comfortable with discussing this, per se, but I knew about it. You spoke of it.

[Chuckle.]

You made some very interesting threats involving your personal demon during races now and then.

[shadesofeco]

I don't like to talk about it.

[Mainly because the idea of gaining any kind of control over Dark Eco is unthinkable to most. And besides, there's nothing to be gained from rehashing the past and bringing up old memories of torture and experimentation.]

[farfairersoul]

I suppose something must have happened in that extra year to change that, at least a little. It is a pity that you never experienced it, whatever it was.

[shadesofeco]

Hn.

[Something that made him throw his Dark Eco around like a threat?

Must have been a big something.]
