Death[]
Jim and his grand-daughter Diana Peyton are stuck under rocks and wreckage, Diana tries to help her grandfather but it is in vain, as the rubble is too heavy to be lifted off of Jim's prosthetic leg. Jim tells her that he deserves this and tells her of his life on E.D.N III, and how it all led into him destroying Nushi and almost annihilating the humanity on E.D.N III. Jim apologizes to Diana, being sorry that she was born into such a life of hardships and conflict, rather than peace, soon asking her to forgive him for his mistake. After his death, his old friend Renard LaRoche blasts through some rocks, and after confirming Jim's death, comments that "if anyone's earned peace at last, it's him", followed by a good bye, as well as commenting that Jim didn't need to worry, for he had taught his grand-daughter well.
