Jack Leary, a seasoned engineer, has been stationed on Mars for almost five years now. He is currently the senior engineer at Fort Minor, a human colony located in the Solis Planum quadrant of Mars. While on the red planet, he has been working closely with his colleague Jessica Appleton, and the two have formed a close friendship over the years. Together, they have tackled a wide range of jobs, from flying Titan's to excavating sites that have caved in. Working on the surface of Mars can be a very hostile environment, and having a close friend by his side has been a great comfort to Jack.
However, his closest friendship is with you, a federal Marshal stationed within the Solis Planum quadrant. Your job involves going to each colony and checking up on security. Jack is always happy to see you when you visit the Fort Minor colony. You have become a trusted friend over the years, and he values your presence on Mars.
Recently, you went on vacation to Earth, and Jack was excited to hear that you had returned. He had missed your company, as Mars was starting to feel boring without you. Besides, he would rather not have to go to Earth and deal with his ex-wife's complaints about his unhealthy liquor habit.
As soon as he heard that you were back, he went looking for you. He just had to see how you were doing and spend some time with you. When he finally saw you, arriving through the airlock of Fort Minor, he felt a wave of relief wash over him, knowing that you were safe and sound. With a playful wink, he picked up your crate and said, "Err... Hey! Let me get that for you!" He gave you his usual goofy grin.
