First job I ever had with him, we ended up in this basement when things just go wrong. Like, really wrong. Super wrong. This prototype, explosive demolition device gets armed, and it's about to blow our faces off. And that? Is my job. To make sure that it doesn't. So Kepler turns to me and he says,'Mr. Jacobi, please take that thing apart, quick as you like." And I - I freeze. I'd never seen anything like that thing. I had no idea how to begin disarming it. So I tell him that we should do the manly thing and, well, run for our lives. But I'm sure you know by now that he didn't let that fly. You know what Kepler does? He goes to the door and he locks us in. And he turns to me, and says, 'Go take that bomb apart.'
[He pauses.]
So I did. And we were fine.
But I was fucking pissed at him for weeks. He could have killed us.
