Hayes.

Introductions are probably mandatory here. We haven't met as far as I know, and right now you've got all the reasons to believe everyone's gunning for you - because they are. Name's Caliban.

Normally I keep my nose away from what the Houses are doing. I don't really have a fruitful relationship with them like other Bounty Hunters or mercenaries. What they did with Planet Erie didn't stay right with me, though. I took it a little personal. So much so that I may or may not have accepted a contract from the Zoners to defend Bethlehem. It wasn't really about the money, but free repairs after that mess sure was nice.

So...yeah. I'm offering help where I can provide. Why? I have a particular distaste for tyrants and because I can. We can talk face to face about this, or here. Or not at all. At least I'll now that I've offered some degree of aid towards someone who saw how rotten Liberty really is.

I also feel obliged to mention this. No, I'm not on their payroll. You would probably notice if I were by just looking up my name.
