Day #288 - Jammie

She always knew how things worked, it was like she could communicate with machines and troubleshoot any issue that arose.

She had no formal training it was pure instinct.

Jammie started life as in the shadow of her mother, a pinup model for the autonautical industry and Jammie was to follow in her footsteps but growing up around all that machinery instead of the normal kids toys her mind developed in a way like no other, it was like being able to speak a different language, machine language.

At age 6 Jammie was already repairing discarded machines that people thought were ruined beyond repair, Jammie just had this innate ability to analyse the issue and rectify it. She didn’t understand how to build things from scratch but would analyse a constructed machine and be able to understand how it worked together.

This is the only education that she had so it was natural for her to seek out a future away from society but where she could use her skills to keep her alive.

Being the engineer on a pirate vessel was the perfect role, nobody would question her judgement and she would be the most valuable resource on the ship.

Jammie would spend her entire adult life on the oceans serving several captains, her favourite of which was X-Beard (ten beard), he was a Scottish descendent of the Picts, a natural warrior with a strong sense of family. X-Beard became the most feared pirate in the European seas after he plundered ‘the Starters’ unsinkable vessel and beheaded 4 of the gang, he kept the quirky engineer as she had a loyalty to the machine and not the captain which he knew was a priceless commodity and would make a perfect addition to his crew.
