To: Liberty Goverment

[The Republic Of Liberty]

Gabe Wilson;

I am assuming from your incredibly vague message that you are asking for permission to fly a Lane Hacker Gunboat as a Freelancer within the Republic of Liberty. Despite your insistence that the vessels is relatively harmless, your acquisition of such a ship would indicate strong ties to the criminal underworld, which undesirable and unacceptable.

The rare individuals who have been given permission to utilise ships known to be manufactured by criminal groups have often performed extraordinary acts in the good interests of the Republic of Liberty, both redeeming themselves and placing themselves in excellent standing with the forces of Liberty.

As far as I am aware, you are not an individual who falls into the above category. You need to demonstrate something of your character which would prove to us that you are entitled to this uncommon privelege.

- Robert McKay, Secretary of State for Defense.
