The Extinguished Jade Candle
#3
Even without the power ring that he possessed, Jack Darby was not entirely helpless. Oh wait, he was. Without his hands, he could not shoot the Bow of Primus Replica which meant that if that psychotic woman came again, he was likely done for. Given the aggressive recruitment policies of the Sinestro Corps, Jack wanted no part of them. However, they were the only ones he knew of who possessed information on the Emotional Spectrum that he did not have access to, or knowledge of. In addition he still did not know enough about the terrain of the Omniverse to make a stand should he need to do so, for whatever reason. Logically, as the odds were not in his favor, Jack should give up. Or at least, that's what a normal human would think. Jack was not normal though. Early on he had encounters with Extraterrestials, some of which had put his life in danger. Knock Out throwing him off of a mountain had been what had earned him the Green Lantern Ring. For a time, he'd had to let the people he loved think he was dead until he had learned the basics of how to use the Power Ring. Sadly enough he didn't have the ring he wanted, or needed to be honest. If he had that ring, he could probably have beaten that psychotic woman with the twin blades. At present, he didn't have the ring. So he was going to have to adapt to the situation. Learning to live without the Oan Ring was not going to be easy, because it was a survival kit all rolled into one. There had to be a way he could recreate the hands he had lost. Sure losing them had hit him hard, but he had to move past it. Maybe if he found someone good at cloning, he could take the hand that he had in his pocket, and have it replicated to give him a replacement limb. It was worth a shot anyway. 

In any case, Jack began to make his way deeper into the area that was called "Tier One" because he needed to explore the place. Learning more about the Omniverse was not as easy as willing a manual on the place into existence. Jack had tried this several times upon his arrival here, but it had come up completely blank. Therefore, he planned on making a survival guide to the Omniverse as soon as he learned enough about the place to guarantee it wouldn't be a waste of his time to make, or anyone's time to spend reading it. The existence of the Sinestro Corps was going to be added to the survival guide as a danger because of how they had treated him, decided Jack. The loss of his limbs had been humiliating enough, but he'd been robbed atop that. It had pretty much shattered any hope he had of wielding his ring any time soon. 

Eventually he came across the Elevator that led to the lower tiers.
