Story of Craig Logan

[aerelm]

My name is Craig Logan, born 769 A.S in a small village on Planet Denver, Colorado System. My father was a Researcher, my mother a Teacher, and I grew up learning from both of them. At the age of 16, my father sent me to Manhattan to stay with my uncle and study there. It was a better opportunity and I used it well, as a young man, I dreamed joining the Navy and restoring 'Peace' to Liberty, at least back then I thought it was the right way, in those years, I would spend most of my time running flight and combat simulations, and even sometimes just flying around NewYork in my uncle's Hawk, and at the age of 18 I entered West Point Military Academy. Years passed and although I was always one of the bests in my Squad, I could tell this is not the right way of helping Liberty, all we were able to do was to obey orders, Questioning Rules and Orders resulted in demotions.
Two months before my graduation, I left West Point Academy and decided to join The Michigan University of Law, after studying for 8 years, I started my own career as a Lawyer, Mostly defending Businessmen who were unable to pay their loans. I was successful in my career and happy with my life, but I could still tell I was not helping Liberty in the best way, so I decided to get myself directly involved in politics.
Standing up and saying whats in your head, is something that any government dislikes, specially if you are asking for a change. If you do so, they'll either silence you, or ignore you. Same happened to me, after years of pointless tries to get my voice heard, They decided to silence me for good. One morning when I entered my office, I found Digital Lock on the door breached and the room itself was a mess, Half my Documents were missing and my Computer was completely trashed. I found a note on my desk, "Disappear or we will make you disappear!" was all the note said.
Knowing I'm in grave danger, I tried to run away. I grabbed my Falcon and to Colorado, but when I reached Colorado Jumpgate, I found 8 Navy ships blocking the gate, but there was no answer when I hailed them, so I decided to go back and try another way to exit New York, but when I was trying to dock with the Trade Lane, one of the Navy ships cut the lane and their commander finally answered "Craig Logan, You are under arrest, Surrender or be Destoryed" and as I asked them the reason of arresting me, they Opened fire.
All I could do was to dodge them and try to find a way out, because weapons on my ship couldn't even scratch their shields.
Just when I was thinking I should say goodbye to this world, Four hostile contacts entered my scanner range, "Mr. Logan, We have orders to escort you to safety, Navy ships, Disengage or be terminated!"
I was watching in disbelief as Xeno tagged Ships closed in and started attacking Navy ships, and I could easily tell that they were experienced and well trained pilots, because all navy ships were destroyed in no time. When the fight was over, one of the Xenos said "Mr. Logan, My name is Nathan Brians, We will escort you to a safe place, But we have to get out of here fast before more Navy ships arrive, Please follow me."
I did as I was told and entered formation with the group leader, and three other ships followed without a word. After a long flight we reached a jumphole - First jumphole I've seen in reality -, two of the Xenos jumped and then asked me to jump, and we were in Colorado in no time, after flying a bit in Colorado, we reached an Asteroid Base, "Ouray, this is Brians, we are escorting Mr. Logan, Requesting permission to dock" I heard Brians saying. After we docked we met at Bar, "Mr. Logan, we were keeping an eye on you for the last few years. Your political views are .... well, Interesting, and also much like our goals and point of view of a better Liberty, and be sure, we are not as bad as your Government tries to picture us."
After talking for a few hours, I realized they are offering Protection, and in return, are asking me to fight on their side. Having no other choice, I decided to try my luck with Xenos, So I accepted their offer, but with one condition, that I will support them in political field, and wont join their fireworks, unless it's really necessary.

"And also one thing Mr. Logan, You wont survive long in that piece of junk you are flying! I'll prepare a proper vessel for you!" Brians chuckled and walked out of the bar.
