Tier Five was according to gossip that he had heard on Tier One, one of the most lawless areas. The place was not well kept, and it was like the Empire had abandoned the place. Since Jack needed to grow more skilled at the manipulation, and use of Omnilium such a place was the ideal place to begin his practice. In addition, he needed to hone his will so that it was sharper than a sword and could cut his opponents down to size. His opponents in this case being the Sinestro Corps. As he was now, Jack knew he didn't stand a chance. The decayed city reminded him of some of the areas back home. People didn't care enough to attempt to repair the place, or rather, wouldn't waste their time doing so. Unlike them, Jack planned to do more for the people of this tier. Jack planned on making this tier shine, and make it great once more. Obviously to do that, he was going to need replacement limbs for himself because he couldn't do much without his hands. Using his tongue to push buttons had gotten old, and gotten old fast.
The lawlessness of the Tier was going to work in his favor. Likely laws would not be as strongly enforced here, which gave the young Ex Lantern a bit of lee way when it came to training himself up so that he could be ready. Preparation was half the battle after all. Waltzing through the ruined streets, Jack noticed the stripped vehicles, and the broken down doors. Walls that had Graffiti of various gangs on it were also observed by him. Tier Five was not a place for the faint of heart. And yet, for now, until he could consider himself ready to elevate his status, it would be what he called home. Law and Order needed to come back to this part of Coruscant and he was going to bring it back himself. To do so, he was going to need his hands back.
No, he was going to need something more powerful than his limbs. His limbs had been fleshy, and weak. What he needed were limbs that were not as easy to cut off of him. Amputation had not been a fun activity that he had experienced. Fortunately she had knocked him unconscious, but that was the only kindness she had shown. His hands still surged with pain when he merely thought of what had been done. The psychological trauma of such was going to take a while for him to heal from. This was one of the reasons he was not engaging the Sinestro Corps in any form of combat yet.
Another reason was that he didn't have the skills that he needed. Unlike previously he was not going to go into a battle half-cocked. Learning more about the enemy he was going to face was going to be essential. Yet even before he could do any of that, Jack was going to have the experience he needed to face off with the Sinestro Corps.
Entering a run down, roach infested apartment building, Jack talked with the owner.
"If I protect you from the protection racket, can I stay here?" asked Jack.
"Why would you want to stay here?" asked the owner.
"It's a fixer-upper, and a place where I can begin my preparations."
"Alright. I'll charge you a tennis ball sized chunk of Omnilium, and then you're the new owner of the place."
Jack handed over the Omnilium, and smiled. While not an ideal place to live, this would be the start of something grand. The start of his preparations to create the Green Lanterns in the Omniverse. Through his power the Green Lanterns would exist, and he would be the rising star of the Omniverse. A symbol of Hope, for the citizens of Coruscant that lived on this Tier. Sure the place needed a lot of repairs before it would be 'fit for human habitation' but he could do those repairs himself. And once he had done the repairs he would have a place where he could stay free of charge. Granted, this was the best place for what he needed, given the circumstances that he was going to have to deal with.
