The day after the commercial shoot, a while after she had witnessed Jareth's surprisingly early scheduled second match but before she had gone to witness Montresor's first, Jess received a message from one of the pilots that his sponsor had backed down after he was assigned to fight the Eberhart, and now he had to resigned out of fear of going bankrupt if the German scrapped him. Rolling her eyes at the empty room, she sent a message back that she would just write the match off as a forfeit for the pilot and that he could continue competing with just one loss under his belt. No point in quitting over one little match.<br/><br/>As she sent the message, she couldn't help but think that the King's Fist or whatever wasn't what the pilots should be worried about. She was one of the few people who wasn't so distracted by the Einenlancer that she didn't notice what had happened immediately before, with Mira screaming and leaving him open to finish her. What had happened there? Had he poisoned her before the match, or was there something else? He didn't seem like the type to go that far, but there was definitely something fishy going on and she couldn't let him keep riding the fame train if he really was just a cheater.<br/><br/>At least she knew the location of the base where his mech was stored...
