Write a detailed in-canon back-story how your character obtained these authorizations.
CH1:Prologue
P1: Jack as you know him.
Jack Shepard, a very average man, not the fastest, not the strongest.He was born in Britain, specificly near the East Coast. He was your general A-B student in schools, stumbling a bit in seventh grade, and zooming through high school. He followed history and mechanics in college the most. Though in the end, graduated with a Master's degree. Continuing through his life he met a woman named Jennifer Cohnager, who he had a realationship with that lasted to marriage. They both hastily decided to move to a nice location in the woods, where they lived out their lives together. That is, until a week or so from then.
P2: Off to work
Jack went to his average job as a mechanic, usually fixing old cars and machines, rarely seeing any new things come through. It all seemed normal, until he saw IT at nine'o clock from his small television he managed to get working again.
CH2:
P1: Black Mesa Day
He witnessed as a reporter simply stood, speechless as he watch what happened outside of the Black Mesa facility. Jack dropped whatever he was doing, grabbed a wrench, couple of CDs, and his jacket before running outside and putting a "CLOSED" sing outside of his repair shop. Jack then got in his car as fast as he could and drove off to his house, where his wife was. Traffic was mad though, and kept him back for an hour. By ten fourteen, he was parking in his driveway, seeing his wife through the window, he was greatly releaved.
P2: Just getting started.
The next day was suprising to Jack, his wife had told him it would probably pass. He woke up the sky was clear nothing new. Until one hour later, he was at work, unsure of how the incedant hadn't pread, he always knew that science could lead to bad things, but nothing happened over in his homeland yet. He eventually shoved away those thoughts and went back to work, where he began to hear weird noises. He ignored them until the noises began to be combined with gunshots and radio chatter. He tried to ignore it figuring it was his little TV, but the noises got loud, seemingly closer, and explosions went off. He was under a car fixing a leaking pipe at the moment, and he couldn't stand it anymore, he rolled out from under the car to be greeted by a combine soldier that here just knocked over. Jack didn't hesitate and took the soldier's weapon and killed him with it, the gun had no more ammo, so he simply dropped it and ran for his car.
P3: Drive of a lifetime.
He showed no mercy in his driving that day, running over any strange creature and/or combine soldier that dare be in the road. His first plan was to get back to home, but in the distance all he saw was a large explosion. He was devistated, he wasn't sure where to go from there since his very home was now destroyed. Before he could see it a strider stepped right in front of his car, he drove as fast as he could knocking the strider down. He was then on his way to the East Coast.
CH3: Exile and Sucker's Luck.
P1: Exiled.
He saw a group of citizens, one of which he new and trusted, Joseph Mc Neil. He got out of his now bloody and beat up car and ran over to ask what they were doing. One of the citizens he didn't know stated that they were fixing a boat, and he said he was a mechanic and could help. Took about a month of hiding and scavenging to find the right parts to fix the boat, but it was worth it. On the day of escape, they set off to Europe's coast. Once hitting land, literally they were standed at the beach with no transportation. The citizens then began argueing mindlessly, they wanted something to blame for their unfortunate luck. They then turned to jack, who's had a history of bad luck, as Joseph said, trying to avoid the blame. Jack became anraged and denied the exuse, but The citizens decided that Jack would have to leave the group. So the citizens and Jack split paths, citizens going towards an area known as White Forest and Jack unknowingly being outcasted to the outer canals.
P2: Hiding
Though before getting directly to the canals, Jack did find a small city, empty and without any residants though. Luckily for him, the supplies were still good, plenty of food and a fair amount of water. So he settled in the city saying this would be his new home, which it was for a while, there was one or two combine patrols every month or so, but aside from that he managed quite well. He even found a destroyed manhack and scanner, which he remade into some nice tools. The Manhack was remade into a Scanner jammer, which would erase his image if he were found by one, the scanner was made into a new friend, which he also rigged with a CD player. He lasted over two years building, scavenging, and hiding in the town, but he didn't see any other runners like him. Things seemed fine, until a "Large, blue, flame throwin', bullet resistant bastard came strolling along", as Jack remembers.
P3: Greatest luck in the world.
The gargantua tore through buildings destroying some of Jacks hiding spots and if not the entire building. Jack was in one of the many buildings and the gargantua continued to destroy other slowly but steadily making it's way towards him. Jack rushed to the roof where he made a group of ziplines over his time of hiding. But before he could get on the line the gargantua smashed the building in just the right spot to take the whole thing down slowly, as the gargantua moved onto the next building. Jack ignored the handle and simply grabbed the rope knowing that the building's fall would make the line be uneven, causing him to roll off. It was shear luck that he didn't fall with that building, but instead he fell with the other do to the gargantua's earlier damage. All he saw was dust until he hit the ground, falling unconsious from the landing.
P4: Loss.
Upon awakening the gargantua had reduced most of the buildings in the area to rubble, and leaving a direct path into a forest. He pushed any debri off him and made a run of hope for the forest, ignoring wether the gargantua was following him or not. Meanwhile, combine were being dispatched to exterminate the beast, and they reacted quickly. Jack watched in a slowed down experiance as a APC rushed in, only to be kicked aside, into a group of troopers. A hunter chopper fly over him, not carring about a single human, but instead directing itself torwards the gargantua reaking havoc. Jack was then troubled with four soldiers that came out of the forest blocking his escape path, though behind him came his robot companion, playing his favorite song, "Jingle Jangle Jingle". The bot then rammed the soldiers ejecting the disc and being blown apart by a shot from an AR-2. Jack stopped, grabbed the disc, and was frozen at how his companion he made had willingly blown himself up for his survival. These thoughts didn't last long, as a surviving soldier shot his Scanner jammer, breaking it beyond even his repair. He finally made his way into the woods, with only a few supplies.
CH4: And Onto Today.
Jack had finally ran enough, this time it wasn't just a fake to get out of running, he actually ran so much, he dropped, face first into a river. His clothes being ruined so far he finally decided he needed something else, the blood, staines, and burn marks finally pushed him too far. He continued walking down the stream looking for anything else better than what he was wearing at the moment. He eventually found a large pipe, with a breif case in it, where he found a blue jumpsuit and jeans with a C9 imprinted on them. He wasn't sure what it ment, but he ripped it off and put the clothing on. He disposed of his old clothes the best he could, simply throwing them in the nearest fire he saw. He continued down the tunnel not sure what to find...
