'''Jason Write''' is the head operative of the [[Phone Company]].{{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 [[varvax]] 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 activeexist during his time and Jason did not know about them.{{book ref|Elysium}}{{wob ref|13429}}
 
== History ==
 
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 cytonics rather than technology. Lanna comes in, and Jason introduces her as his wife, to Coln's surprise. As medics start attending to him, Jason contacts Sonn through holovid, asking if the varvax lock their discontents away. Sonn confirms this, and says other races do this as well. Jason is shocked by the revelation, now realizing that the ambassador, a discontent, was the one who initiated the swap with Denise to infiltrate human society, rather than the other way around, in hopes of getting their hands on human technology, which is superior to the aliens'. He cuts the link and tells Lanna to prepare a press release announcing that the Phone Company has finally developed FTL travel.
 
=== Later Years & Death===
After Jason's wife died he created an AI based on her memories and personality. Learning that AIs could develop emotions in the [[Nowhere]], he brought her orb in, in hope to bring sapience to the Lanna-AI. After Jason's death, the recently turned sapient AI returned to the Nowhere, where - unable to cope with Jason's death - she replicated herself thousands of times to create the hive-mind of Delvers; beings opposed to change and greatly despising anything outside of the Nowhere.{{book ref|sky3|39}}{{book ref|sky3|41}}
