I don't know anything about you besides what I know about the Xenos in general. Which isn't much. But if you're offering to get people off of Bethlehem and out of Pennsylvania and Liberty, I'm prepared to ignore the many alarm bells going off in my head about trusting strangers.
My ship, the Spirit of Fortune, her crew, and myself are more than ready to bail out of the mess everyone has made of things here. We've tried once already but got waylaid by a Navy patrol before we could find the jump hole to California that I have been assured exists somewhere in the Appalachian Asteroid Field. All we need are precise coordinates and maybe an escort to get there safely. The Libertonians have really amped up their patrols since they declared Zoners like us hostile.
The Spirit has plenty of room in the cargo hold, so anyone who wants to hitch a ride off Bethlehem is welcome to do so, though I won't guarantee a comfortable trip.
Genevieve Uihara,
Captain of the Spirit of Fortune.

Miss Uihara.
Alpha-3, going by our latest survey of the system which was a year ago. It should still be fairly accurate and I can be in system in a moment's notice to get you and any others out.

If it makes a difference, I am still here and if the fur should fly, I may be forced. Why? I have one fighter planet side that sustained heavy damage trying to leave the planet. The pilot is fine and for now, the ship is hidden away from Liberty forces. I have ways off if I need to but my own cannot leave.
Also, I have been making good use of my time with Guerilla warfare tactics. Liberty does not frighten me and I will not leave another home behind. I have been dead once before so that does not frighten me either.

Has anyone seen one Mister Kotaro Miura?
Last seen in Pennsylvania likely bound for Erie aboard a Pelican before the occupation and subsequent declaration of martial law. His daughter's looking for him, and I'd prefer if she didn't do anything particularly stupid for the sake of finding him.
If his whereabouts are currently unclear then I'd like to request an effort to locate him. Even if what we find isn't pleasant - she has a right to know.
