Sig: Can you please be serious for five minutes? Daxter: my record is four, but I think I can do it.

Sneak Peak of Chapter Two of The Mar's Tomb Investigation

((this chapter has hands and has been fighting me like a fromsoft boss so yall can get a small treat of this snippet until i manage to wrangle it))

Sig leaned against a wall in the Slum out of way of foot traffic. Not that it would have mattered. Crowds of Havenites tended to part around big wastelanders with an intimidating cybernetic eye and reputation of working with Krew. Still, his mama didn't raise a rude boy, and he wasn't risking his mission just to bother some skittish, city folk. What he was looking for was too important for that. Meaning, he stood outta the way and tried to not attract unnecessary attention from the KG patrols, whilst he watched both sides of the Slums from the conjoining sector.

If he was lucky, he would be able to meet up with the chili peppers here.

If he was unlucky, it would be the starting point to tracking their actual location down.

The way he saw it there were two ways Jak and Daxter would break Tess and whoever else got rounded up by those Krimson Goons out of the prison. Via seeing it firsthand and word of mouth, Sig knew Jak liked to run in hot. Option one was therefore a loud explosive escape paired with a fast getaway vehicle. Option 1 was a good option. It was the kind of plan Sig missed pulling off himself, and it would see Jak and Daxter coming straight to Sig in no time flat.  Option two: transportation rings. Sig did not want it to be option two.

The blue eco powered transporters made for an easy way in and out of locations, and they were damn near untraceable. Unless, someone knew to set up a tracer ahead of time, which was more effort and eco than basically anyone wanted to spend. The Underground was lucky the Baron simply couldn't afford to waste the eco with his little war against the metalheads still ongoing. It was more effective to just set up more soldiers and turrets with that eco and prevent any escape in the first place. Any proper tracer was a pain to set up anyways. They took no less then three proper receivers, and each piece of equipment had to be set in a seperate location to allow triangulation. If the drop-off location was within that net, the receivers would pinpoint the location easily. If it was outside of the net, the triangulation would only give you a rough estimate of the direction and distance. Increasing the size of the net to fix that limitation brought its own issues. Namely, it increased the eco output needed to run. Spargus had set up several nets that could be used, but Sig's own personal one would work fine enough here. He didn't need exact coordinates to a Underground Midpoint or safe house, when he didn't have any excuse to know where to be knocking. He'd still be having to frame it as bumping into the boys randomly. He was just lucky he already knew and was friendly with the duo.

Sig wanted to sigh. Triangulation. Eco Nets. Subterfuge. Bluffs.Who would have thought his life would come to this. He was just lucky his identity in Haven was the simple brute. He was capable of doing this. Damas wouldn't have sent him otherwise, but it was mentally exhausting. Each little lie could be one more complications. Something he had to remember and continue to fake; unless, they were immediately nipped or based off of some truth.

It would be worth it for a chance to see Mar again. It was worth it. He mentally pulled up his big boy pants, but he made a note to himself to blow some frustration on the gun range. It wasn't like him to be the down in the dunes downer.

He would find Mar. He had to. A siren went off in the distance. It was showtime.

In lieu of Free Day Friday (didn't have time this week 😭) I offer a very silly comic I drew

Premise: in Jak 3, is Damas's "death scene", it's fairly obvious that just his legs are pinned because 2003 software constraints I guess. Brain said "what if they'd brought him into Jak X without retconning the end of Jak 3 at all?" And this is what resulted

GT Blitz on pre-recorded video: "This is it, folks! The holy grail of tracks: the Arena of Death!"

Keira: "I'm sorry, Jak. I know it must be hard, being back in Spargus after losing your father."

(Her speech bubble is only partially visible because Jak is distracted when the footage switches to live)

Sig and approaching Wastelanders: "Hey! Let me see that camera for a sec."

GT Blitz: "We'll be right back folks-"

Sig (pulling camera lens towards him): "Jak, you better have a really good reason for running of to Kras now, of all times!"

Sig on the tv: "Don't run, kid. He's already there."

Keira: "Um...Jak?"

Jak: "ah...should've called, I guess...Still. What's he going to do? Call my da-"

(Door slams open)

Damas: "YOU."

Jak, Keira, and Daxter: "I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!"

What do you imagine Sig's reaction is when they sit down at Brutter's and meet Frontier for the first time

"What the hell?" Pretty much sums up Sig's reaction. He honestly thought it was a joke until he saw the look in Frontier's. The kind of look only seen from those who mean business and witnessed equally insane things.

Even if the kid drinking from a juice box had cut any tension to tiny bits. Sig can't help but be impressed when Frontier offers a game of questions. Both sharing some information before either would ask the big one. A way to test the waters and see if a possible informant is telling the truth or lying through their teeth.

Sig eventually asks the question: 'Do you know where the Kid is?' He didn't expect Frontier to admit they had the person he was looking for and where the young heir is. Apparently the strange kid had been testing him as they gave Brutter a little hand signal.

Especially since Sig didn't even have the chance to blink before he found himself in Haven Forest. Or see the Kid playing with some very unrecognizable creatures. Illusions(Hisuian Zoroark) and teleportation(Wigglytuff) is a great way to disappear from the public without causing a stir.

Sig definitely knows he has a problem child on his hands.

Sig does his best to keep from getting distracted. "Maybe you should rest, then. Let someone else do it for a change." Jak looks at him from the corner of his eye and raises an eyebrow. "...Yeah. You're right. I couldn't do that either." Sig gives the thick shoulder a squeeze, then leans back on his arms. "You'd have to lock me up. Or cut off my arms. No - I'd just get 'em replaced," he chuckles. Jak snorts a little laugh and uncurls his posture. Sig grins at him. They sit for a moment, listening to the wind. The silence is companionable, but Sig can sense the unease still roiling through Jak's being. Sig is patient, though. Got to be, as a big game hunter. The most important part of the hunt is the stakeout.

Dax about an injured Jak: Is he going to be okay?! Sig: I don't know, does he normally lay like that without moving?

[hecketernal]

Super belated heads up, but the first chapter of The Mar's Tomb Investigation AU is on ao3!

[radioactivepeasant]

A Trial of Integrity - ArdentAspen2 - Jak and Daxter [Archive of Our Own]

In which we ask the question "What if the third Arena trial wasn't to see if you would engage in combat to the death, but to see if you wouldn't?"

The one-shot that ate up half my free time for two months is donnneeee 😆😆

[troblsomtwins829]

First thing Sig's gonna do when that little tyke is big enough is show him every secret hiding place and pathway in Spargus. Damas is not fond of this idea.

Mundane JnD headcanons:

Jak loves to draw and he’s really good at it. He’ll draw anything from animals, to people, to buildings.

Torn loves fixing up old zoomers, as a kid he would hang out at the stadium and watch the mechanics work.

As a kid, Ashelin would pretend she was a great hero like Mar. She would fight imaginary metalheads and save the city by ending the war. It’s part of the reason she joined the Krimzon Guard.

Keira has awful handwriting. It’s completely illegible to anyone but her. She can draw schematics easily but words? Just looks like scribbles.

Tess grew up down the street from Torn and she always saw him as the cool older kid. She always wanted to be like him so she learned to fight so she could hang out with all the rough and tough older kids. Torn admired her spunk.

Sig loves sunsets, especially ones in the desert. He watches them whenever he can. Occasionally if there’s a particularly beautiful sunset he sheds a tear, not that he’d ever admit it.

Daxter, for all his complaining, doesn’t actually want to go back to Sandover. In Haven he has friends, his own bar, a girlfriend, everything he could hope for. But in Sandover all he had was Jak and Keira. Sure he misses the peacefulness of it all but at the end of the day his life improved in the future.
