Samuel Phoenix

[Zeltak]

Introduction - Biography

"My ship... my wealth... my life. All lost, in this single defining moment, all gone, everything. Why me? I have always been reasonable in my deals, always fulfilling guarantees, always had a pleased customer. There are far more unlawful scums smuggling everyday, distributing illegal arms and drugs. Hurting mankind in every shape or form in order to just gain that extra profit. They even scam poor people, they have no sense of morality. Yet, it's me, yes me, who receives the short end of the straw. Thinking of yesterdays-ransack is repulsive... It's disgusting but more importantly it's unfair!"

[color=#FF0000]"Hey you! Keep it quiet there, nobody wants to hear your whining."

"Go to hell you filthy sons of-"

"Don't make me bring out the shock-gun."

"Hmph."

"Yeah that shut you up real good. *Salutes* Officer Johnson!

"I want you to run a background check on that guy, for the time being."

"As you command Officer!"

"Officer Johnson! I have compiled the report sir."

"Excellent."

"Well, shall I let him leave now?"

"No, change of plans, we will detain him for two days and then transfer him to LPI-Huntsville."

"Oh... I see, very well sir."

*A few hours later*

"How can I help you sir?"

"I'm here to visit Samuel Phoenix."

"Unfortunately Mr. Phoenix is not allowed to meet any visitors."

"Why is that? I thought all detainees had the right to receive visitors."

"Hold on, I will speak with the Officer."

"Very well."

"Jack, is that you?"

"Yes it's me, but I have not come here small talk. It appears you are in deep trouble, heh."

"You don't say. They have charged me for the most ridiculous things ever: Smuggling, avoiding taxes, even dealing with criminal organizations! Does that sound like something I would do Jack?"

"No, none of those things. It's all a bit strange, something isn't right. There is more behind this, I know it is."

"Well let me save your time and spell it out for you: The whole law enforcement in Liberty are corrupt!"

"Aye, they have always been corrupt. But I wouldn't think they would go this low in order to steal money."

"Bah! Sometimes I think they are even worse than those criminals! Of course they would, think about it: It's the perfect crime. They plant false evidence in order to charge me for everything I got. It's no coincidence they picked me. I'm not important enough to be a political problem but still wealthy enough for them to be interested."

"What matters now is that we get you out of here before even worse things happens."

"You are right about that my friend, only one problem: How the hell are we supposed to escape?"

"Hehe, you should known me better by now Phoenix. There are two "Policemen" outside of this office. They will claim to transfer you into a safer prison department. Once we are out we will take a hidden jumphole that leads to the California system. From there you can head to Bretonia space were Liberty jurisdiction can't touch you. But you will have to find a way to earn some money, since any wired money from Liberty can be easily traced."

"This idea is so stupid it might actually work."

"Haha, that's the plan."
