Jameson Lockett

**Jameson Lockett** is a capable soldier of RUBICORE. Young, courageous and straightforward, he does not need a lot of briefing, all he needs is to carry out orders from a great leader in the field to efficiently operate in the perils of war. He always had a single thought in mind: *"Why is one man spared, but another taken?"*

## Biography

### Background

Jameson Lockett is an ordinary born Panamoan who lived throughout the horrible years of PROJECT ruling the planet. As his country is overtaken by the megacorporation, he knew he needs to serve his country in order to live the life he longed since he was a kid: To become a professional basketball player. At some point in his adolescence, he met Nolan Baker and the two became best friends even when they both decided to join RUBICORE to finally live his dream should the planet win the war against the megacorporation.

### Going All Out: Operation Full-Out Strike

Jameson Lockett joined the RUBICORE alongside his best friend Nolan Baker, and six months later, he and Baker were sent in Daitoshi as part of an invading force seeking to eliminate PROJECT's control in Daitoshi. Sergeant Price's mission for Lockett and Baker was to meet with a demolitions squad and aid them in destroying a PROJECT gunship. They arrived too late, though, and the demolitions squad was all killed. Price, adamant about completing the mission, directed Lockett and Baker to secure the explosive explosives and blow up the gunship themselves.

Despite their success, Baker's arm became stuck in an access panel on the side of the gunship, and despite Lockett's efforts to rescue his best friend's life, the charges burst with Nolan Baker still aboard the helicopter. After sliding off the gunship, a sharp piece of shrapnel from the explosion severed Lockett's left arm. Sergeant David Price rescued Jameson Lockett, who was critically injured, from the wreckage. Nolan Baker survived the initial blast and was placed on life support for a short time before succumbing to his injuries.

Due to his injuries, Jameson was subsequently discharged from RUBICORE, but was given a bionic arm to replace his amputated left arm but he chose to live a regular life. His dream to become a basketball player is still unclear if he ever became one after the war.

## Quotes

### Spoken

* *"Why is one man spared, while another taken? To this day, I couldn't give you an answer. But death comes for us all, eventually. When you lose over six thousand men in four hours, it is easy for one death to become just another number. But all I knew was my best friend was gone, and a part of me wished that I had been taken instead. The dead - they've settled their debts. It's up to the living to pick up the tab."*
