Planet Manhattan Bar
Trent: Sidewinder Fang.
Bartender: All we have is Liberty Ale, friend.
Trent: Fine.
Bartender: Her name is Jun’ko Zane. She’s a tough one…
Trent: Oh, why’s that?
Bartender: She’s LSF. All business – if it’s a job you’re wanting that is. On the other hand, if you’re looking for something more–
Trent: Oh, the only thing I’m looking for right now is this drink.
Bartender: I know you.
Trent: No, no I don’t think so.
Bartender: The news. I saw your face on the news. You’re one of the Freeport 7 survivors, aren’t you?
Trent: Yeah.
Bartender: I heard it was pretty bad out there. You know, you’re lucky to be alive.
Trent: Ha!
Bartender: This one’s on me, friend. It’s the good stuff.
Trent: Why?
Bartender: Because it’s not every day a man has the chance to start again. To your good fortune in Liberty, sir.
Trent: Well, it can’t get any worse!
Juni: I understand what you’re saying, but I don’t have nearly enough people.
Diplomat: Juni, the environment has changed. With groups like The Order taking more and more liberties – indeed now threatening our profits – some in the government feel that we need to increase our patrols in these areas.
Trent: Ahem–
Juni: Yes?
Trent and Juni’s First Meeting
Trent: You Jun’ko Zane?
Diplomat: I believe you have business to discuss.
Juni: Wait!
Diplomat: I will leave this matter in your… capable hands.
Trent: Sorry. The bartender said you work for the Liberty Security Force.
Juni: And who do you work for, Mr–?
Trent: Trent. I work for myself.
Juni: What kind of ship do you have?
Trent: I… lost mine… on Freeport 7.
Juni: I see. Are you staying in Liberty long?
Trent: I’ve got a… friend who was injured in the attack. He’s in Medical. I’ll be staying at least until he’s released.
Juni: Well, as it happens, I could use a good Freelancer, Mr Trent. I’ll be in the Equipment Room later. You can meet me there. Oh, and if we are gonna work together, call me Juni.
Planet Manhattan Equipment Room
Trent: Hello?
Juni: I’m pleased to see you. Are you ready to work for the LSF, Mr Trent?
Trent: It’s just Trent. And yeah, I’m here to see what you have to offer.
Juni: Well, I’ve found this ship for you. It’s very basic and you won’t have jump access yet, but it should be good enough for now. This assignment will be easy, all you have to do is baby-sit a convoy of food and medical supplies. You’ll be hooking up with the Escort CO, King. I’ll tell him to expect you. That is, of course, if you’re interested?
Trent: Sounds good! I’m in.
Juni: Good. Better get going. I’ll have your ship moved immediately. All you’ll have to do is go to the landing pad and launch. King will be waiting for you near the docking ring in space. Okay? I’ll see you when you get back.
Planet Manhattan Orbit
King: You must be Trent. I’m King, the CO of this mission. I contacted the lead transport of the convoy. They’ve completed pre-launch checks and are ready to go. Should be an easy run from here to Fort Bush and then on to Pittsburgh. Ready?
Trent: It’s good to meet you, King. Is that a Rheinland cruiser?
King: That’s the Donau, Admiral Schultzky’s flagship. He’s visiting Manhattan to attend a high-level meeting with President Jacobi. Keep your distance.
Donau: Newark Station, this is RNC Donau. Requesting clearance to dock with your station. Over.
Newark Station: Affirmative, Donau! You are cleared for docking point six. Liberty welcomes you and Admiral Schultzky. Donau! Be advised, we’re picking up unknown contacts. Advise caution!
Donau: Understood Newark. All escorts, power up weapons!
Escort 1: Affirmative! Ready to engage!
Escort 2: Roger. Tracking incoming ships!
Newark Station: Unidentified ships, this is Newark Station, you are entering restricted space. Alter course at once or we will open fire!
