Later, he and Lanna discuss his concerns over humanity's relationship with the alien races, and then Lanna starts talking about Coln's reasons for following him. Jason gets distracted and pieces together the reasons behind Denise's strange mannerisms, and tests the theory by turning the lights in her room to uncomfortably bright levels, which she claims feels right. Lanna is worried, and Jason tells her that the actual woman is dead while "Denise" is actually [[Vahnn]], the Varvax ambassador. Just then, Coln runs in to check on "Denise", and Jason realizes he isn't wearing his sunglasses. Afraid of being mocked, he rushes out of the room in shame.
Jason and Lanna have a conversation, during which he questions why Denise would want to switch bodies with a Varvax and theorizes that maybe she wanted to steal information on their
Jason wakes up and realizes that his Sense somehow is turned off, and begins to panic. He hears a voice with a strange accent asking him how he read the man's mind earlier. Jason tries to contact Lanna, only to be told that the link has been cut. The voice warns him that if he doesn't have an answer in three minutes, he will kill Denise, then leaves. Jason tries to suppress his growing fear, and thinks back to a time when Sonn told him of
The voice comes back on some nearby speakers, before coming over in person and introducing himself as [[Edmund (Cytonic)|Edmund]], one of Jason's old recruits. Edmund tells him that the cafe shooting from earlier was a test of his abilities. They start fighting with mindblades, and Jason soon finds himself outmatched. Jason bluffs and guesses that Edmund learned from the Varvax, which is revealed as false. As Edmund prepares to deliver a series of blows he cannot block, Jason turns his Sense inward and teleports with his hand inside Edmund's chest. He kills the man by stopping his heart, and as Edmund dies, he tells Jason that the reason for the invention of
Jason tells Coln to bring Denise over, and he takes them back to Phone Company headquarters on Earth. He explains to Coln that FTL capabilities are powered by

The Writellum section of the brain appears to be named after him.{{book ref|Skyward|i|2}}
== Attributes and Abilities ==
From a young age, Jason has been developing his cytonic abilities.
:'''Sense''': Though it requires some conscious effort, Jason can use his cytonic abilities to Sense the world around him. When using his Sense, he perceives black as calm or cool and white as a quiet buzz.{{book ref|Elysium}}
:'''FTL Communication''': While all of the Phone Company's FTL communications are handled by an operative in their Central Operations building, it seems likely that Jason is independently capable of FTL communication.{{book ref|Elysium}}
:'''Mindblades''': Jason can use his cytonic abilities to form blades of pure force that can cut through anything, including advanced materials like [[telanium]]. His reactions are incredibly fast, allowing him to summon mindblades to slice bullets out of the air. He can also sense when another cytonic is manifesting mindblades and summon his own to block theirs. The varavx consider this ability to be very advanced.{{book ref|Elysium}}
:'''FTL Travel''': By Sensing inward on himself, Jason can travel to the [[nowhere]] and then reemerge elsewhere, resulting in faster-than-light travel. When doing so, he can take others with him. He keeps this ability a secret so as to maintain an edge over those he encounters and keep humanity from realizing that FTL is possible. The [[delver]]s do not appear to be active during his time and Jason did not know about them.{{book ref|Elysium}}{{wob ref|13429}}
