Jacob,
From the moment I met you, I knew you were different from most men I had met. You had respect, understanding, even nobility, that few men could match. Even after I learned of your allegiance with Cerberus, I felt in my gut that I could trust you. My gut never steered me wrong, and it wasn't wrong with you.
Since our first meeting, you proved to me that good people exist in even the strangest of places. You were humble, quick to help, forgiving, and kind. I didn't expect this from any of Cerberus's people at all. You helped me acclimate to a situation I didn't think I was prepared for, and you were integral to our success. I'm sorry again about your father. I really am. For what it's worth, I think you did the right thing, and I'm proud of the man you are. You're not your father; you've become something greater, something men and women can aspire to.
When I found you at Gellix, I felt glad to see that you'd broken away from Cerberus. I knew you had it in you. Can you guess how excited I was to hear that Brynn was going to have your baby?! That's a mission no man is ready for, and yet it's one I know you're ready to take. Fatherhood couldn't come to a better man, and I know you'll be a good man for Brynn.
To you, I leave my old children's books. I'm surprised my mother even still had them (women tend to pack sentimental things away, so don't be surprised when Brynn begins doing that). I hope your child can get as much use and fun out of them as I did growing up.
I also leave you the deed to my family home back on Earth. The details are on the datapad. It belonged to my father, who passed it to me when he died. Since I'm undoubtedly gone, I want you to have it. The property tax isn't so bad, and the neighbors are great (at least, they were seven years ago. It's been awhile since I've been there). You'll need a place to raise a family, and I want that place to still have life in it. I hope your family enjoys it. Do whatever you want with the place. It's yours now, so you can move any of the furniture, remodel the house, or even sell it. It's my gift to you so that you can provide for your family in any way you see fit.
It's been an honor serving with you, Jacob. Keep your family safe.
