Hope Citadel

[Hope]

It's been almost a month now, the plans of heading to Liberty
were pretty slow. We dealt with many issues, including the local
Rogues not wanting a vessel of our size entering their zone
of influence. After much negotiation, and paying off some corrupt
officers in the Navy and LPI, we managed to make it into New
York. Using the Pittsburgh Debris Field we managed to conceal
the Citadel while we used a civilian shuttle to land on Manhattan.

My guards and I met a few pilots in the Manhattan Bar located
close to the primary docking facility which we landed at. One
pilot, by the name of Kelsie Wilcox, told me she knew about an
Outcast shuttle that was reported drifting in Pennsylvania.
She indicated that the shuttle crashed on Planet Erie.
Authorities, however, stated that there was no pilot on board
when they arrived at the scene.

Though, it seems Wilcox looked more into the crash and found
out that the occupant managed to get rescued before the
shuttle crashed into the planet. She said that the vessel that
rescued her was a Zoner ship that landed on Harrisburg Station
just outside Planet Erie.

I decided to get Kelsie's name card so I could contact her later
on. I believe she'd have more information for me if I ever needed it;
as a pilot in Interspace Commerce travels a lot.

Now, we are in Pennsylvania using Ralston Ice Field inside the
Hallam Nebula for covering the ships location. A pilot working
in the field, frequent visitor on Harrisburg, told us more about
the Outcast Shuttle and that a borderworld company hired the
occupant on the shuttle before it left Liberty. His partner said
the Zoner ship was heading to Omicron Theta.

The Corsairs aren't going to like us entering that section of the
borderworlds, but I have no choice. I have to keep searching
for Despair.
