Hacking was something that started out as a hobby for her, but as time went on she realised that she could make some serious money from it. Under the alias of "Hex", Jenna offered her services to those who needed a little bit of legally ambiguous computer wizardry done for them. Of course, it began to make her a few enemies as well, and so she decided to leave her home station for the sake of her parents' safety. It also had the added bonus of being able to look for work in other star systems, and further add to her reputation. Over the years she made enough money from jobs to afford a small ship of her own.
About a year ago, Jenna signed up for a job with a small team of mercenaries hired by yet another anonymous contact armed with enough cash to convince them to button it. The plan was to raid a supply vessel transporting several prototype security mechs, and bring back at least one intact for later study. Boarding the ship was easy enough, but things went south real fast when the ship's crew started activating the robots. They were much smarter than any similar machine, and had sophisticated anti-virus software to boot. Jenna kept away from the worst of the fighting, and within the cargo hold she managed to find one that was still inactive. While the rest of the mercs were killed or captured, she managed to sneak onto an escape pod with her prize, alone but alive.
Out of curiosity, she later had a look inside the machine to find out why her employer wanted it so badly. The AI core was more advanced than she had thought, practically capable of sentience. The idea of selling someone into slavery didn't sit well with her, machine or no, and so she activated it and offered it a place on her ship. She even decided to name it Orion, after the mythical hunter among the stars.
