Jason is young man (30 years old) from Lyra colony who took a job right out of school as a computer engineer for Solmet Wildcatting Incorporated, aboard the exploratory vessel Longshot. He spent 12 years working for them in the Pharos Sector before deciding to leave his position. He was the youngest person ever to win the Hugo Jepp award for computer engineering (at age 24) when he designed the Domino Parallel Processing System which increased processing speed for integrated sensors reducing data processing time on sensor suites by 27%. Although he received the award and the recognition, his contract allowed the Solmet Conglomerate to claim ownership - and all the royalties.
Last year, Jason's superiors at Solmet Wildcatting wanted him to help conduct some research on the colony planet Vargas Freehold that could have triggered dangerous tectonic shifts on the planet and endangered the crazy inhabitants. He protested vigorously enough to get them to call the project off. While there were no repercussions, he was appalled at the callousness of their decision making process and decided to leave their employ once his contract was up.
If anything could make Jason turn to criminal acts it would be an attempt to reveal the greed and lack of ethics that rots the core of the Solmet Conglomerate.
