Subject: Official request to pass through Liberty space
Greetings
I am Captain Jacob Sullivan of the Zoner Colony Ship "Exodus"
I am officially requesting permission to enter the Liberty systems of Colorado, New York, Texas and Hudson.
I will not cause any trouble or break any laws. You have my word. I am traveling to the Omegas, and your Liberty space is the easiest route from my current location (Sigma 19).
I was engaged by Nomads in the Omicrons, however I managed to escape and I am now docked at Luxury Liner Hawaii.
Please take my word, I will drop my shields for the entire duration of the trip, EXCEPT in New York due to certain reputation problems. //bases will fire at me and probably destroy my ship.
Thank you for your time, I would assume if this is accepted that I will be escorted by a Liberty Navy capital ship. If this is the case, please provide the name of the ship and her Captain so that I can be ready.
The crew of the Exodus is in a state of shock, for they have only ever heard of K'Hara. This was the first time they have seen them.
Please thoroughly think about my request. Thank you.

Tidings, Captain.
As of recently, the Navy has had issues involving a large influx of Colony Ships, both authorized and not, deciding to float around Liberty as they please. First was the duo that tried to 'haul off' Long Island, then a religious focal piece. And now you.
While I'll say that I'm not too pleased to see another Nephilim come to our shores, it is good to know that you had at least the fairness to warn us before you entered our territory. For this, I will gladly allow you to pass through. You will, of course, be placed under capital warship supervision, and we'll need to inform you that firing on anything what is not directly endangering your crew's lives will not be allowed.
I do hope this reaches you before we do. I'll see to it that your ship is escorted through the systems of Liberty. I will be aboard the battlecruiser '[LN]-LNS-Plymouth.Rock', ready in the Colorado system awaiting your arrival.
Until we meet in space, Captain.
Regards,
Commander Alexander S. Kingston, Liberty Navy Primary.
With all due respect, I greatly appreciate your offer, however Iust decline it for the time being, as I want the highest ranking official in LNS or LSF to grant myself(and yourself) permission to pass through. I am afraid I can not take only the word of a single Commander.
Again, I mean no disrespect. I am just being extra cautious. This is in fact a very serious matter, as you surely know. And again, I greatly appreciate your offer, but please allow more time to pass, so that a high ranking official can grant us permission.
As a side note, I would like to announce that my ship and her crew will be in debt to the Liberty Navy if this request is accepted. We will be willing to assist LNS ships in any battle in an independent system bordering Liberty space, or with permission, inside Liberty space. It is the least we can offer, as we have no funds to repay you.

Greetings captain,
As what Commander Kingston already clarified, Liberty has suffered from multiple intrusions by Zoner warships and colony ships that refused to obey our directives. Thus, we are being careful in this regard. Nonetheless, since you insist on requiring a response from the high command, you have permission to enter the systems specified in your transmission under the direct supervision of commander Kingston and the L.N.S Plymouth Rock, communication ID: [LN]-LNS-Plymouth.Rock. Please listen to the commander's instructions carefully to avoid any trouble or kerfuffle, otherwise everything should go hunky-dory.
And for the future, captain. Commander Kingston and the rest of the primary fleet Mid-Command echelon are a reliable part of the Navy First Fleet and are cleared to handle matters and affairs of this scale within the laws of the republic.
That should be all.
Signing out,
Admiral Natalie A. Reaser.
CO Nevada Battlegroup & Papa Squadron.
Liberty Navy, First Fleet

I would like to express my utmost appreciation to the Liberty Navy. My ship has bees repaired, and my armour has been replaced. Freeport Exodus is officially back in operation.
As promised, I will be stationed in the Magellan system, for the next few days, therefore I will be available to assist the navy in any defensive battles in any Liberty system or independrnt system bordering Liberty. All you have to do is notify me via a message directly to my ship or to me personally.
