Aiden. We need to talk. Our last communication left me with much to think about. No matter how much I wish it to be, the LPI will never be the same anymore. It will never be the clean, moral and upright organization that it should be. It will never be the organization that stands for the hard working class of people in Liberty. I signed up to be the kind of officer that the citizens of Liberty could turn to in times of trouble, but those same citizens only give me looks of disgust because of the corruption they see in the LPI.
I can't turn a blind eye anymore. I can't pretend that it doesn't happen. No more will I bury my head in the sand when I see and hear of officers lining their pockets with credits extorted from innocents. No more will I ignore the corruption stemming from the greedy IND corporation as it pulls the strings of its LPI puppet, making it perform for their stockholders in anyway it wishes.
I want to do what I always wanted to do, what I set out to do when I joined the LPI so long ago. I want to help the people of Liberty. I want to be a force for good, fighting against the foreign influences that have taken away the jobs of those who need them. I want to fight alongside you as we work for a better Liberty.
That's right. I want to defect. I've given up on the LPI and I'm asking for the Xeno Alliance to take me in. Please tell me what I need to do. I'm sure the XA will be more than reluctant to trust me, since I've killed many of them in the past. But, they have taken out many officers in the LPI as well. Do you think there can be forgiveness? I'm willing to give them a chance. I hope they are as well.
I'm surprised you contacted me so quickly, Seymore, but it is good to hear from you again. I have to say our little run in yesterday surprised me. I figured you would have tried to take me in. You've still got a good head on your shoulders and you made the right choice.
I had a long talk with the boss on our way back to base and hes willing to give you a shot. But before I contact them with your intentions I need to know that this is what you really want. When I came to the Alliance I was at my breaking point. Part of me kind of hoped they would put one between my eyes just to save me the trouble. Now I've got the means to really make a change. But I digress. Sorry for the rambling there.
As I was saying before I got off track, I need to know you can actually go through with what needs to be done. I've managed to scrape together enough equipment for a Falcon. Its waiting in a hanger on Ames. I'll be there waiting as well. Once you get there we will go out and test your resolve. If you can take out a LPI officer I'll make sure you have a place with us in the Xeno Alliance.
Well, Seymore, you passed the test. While they weren't the targets I was hoping, they will do. You didn't hesitate one bit.
Once your fighter gets refueled meet me at the coordinates stored under the file WP.032. From there we'll make arrangements for you to meet the bosses.
