COMM ID:Lieutenant Albey, Kate TARGET ID: Harmony CO SUBJECT:Tired ENCRYPTION:High PRIORITY:High
Good night, Harmony CO.
Got this handler from your local contact, here in Freeport 2, that your girl O'Brien indicated. To cut this short, I'm tired. I'm tired of wrapping my head around all of what is happening in the Navy. News from the Gaul front ain't sparkling and shinny. I see the secondaries getting mauled by pirates and rogues everyday and I find myself calling for backup and only a couple of hunters show their heads against a full Unioner raid in Texas.
The Navy is rotting from the inside. And Liberty is the one that suffers. I wasn't around during that whole Alaska issue, I left the LGF Corps when the war was nearly done. My unit got almost wiped out when the Rheinscum took the Westfallen back. So back then, the Navy, the Security Forces and who rules them failed me and my men and I decided to find myself a new home and a new purpose. Didn't exactly worked it out in Kusari, the chinks aren't exactly welcoming, and a gaijin like me ain't exactly the bowing kind. I decided to come back and joined the Navy to fight the Gauls. But I find myself fighting incompetence. Why?
It smells wrong. All of it. It is like it is on purpose. To keep Liberty weak. To make it ripe for the taking.
And for what I have read and seen.. You suspect something is wrong too.
I'll jump through your hoops. I'll answer any questions. But give me a gun or a ship, and let me fight for my Liberty.
Even if I have to fight my own.

my pilot informed me of your encounter and I am surprised. It appears to me that you are beginning to see that there's something behind all of these problems.
We are not fighting this for our amusement or some ulterior motive. We are doing this because there is no way back, because we were forced to do this. We hardly have the numbers to openly face the Navy but we will do our part and we will survive. I will not abandon my Battlegroup members to that abomination that's infesting Liberty.
I will need you to prove yourself. I find no records of you being involved in any of our actions. You will have to fight those you considered comrades, maybe you still do. But there will be no helping it, I cannot afford to wait for them to find out on their own. If you are willing to do that for me I will consider giving you a place among my active pilots.

Good day, Admiral Knight.
So, to get this clear, unless I understood it wrongly, you want me to grab a random ship and go merrily exploding Liberty lawful assets to prove myself to you? Like a common merc? Or a bloody pirate?
My L-117 is already being pinged by the Missouri SCOM at the moment. Probably looking what is going on, since I didn't checked back in the last eight hours. It's all I got, apart from this uniform and my sidearm. The credits in my name are little to none, and I got nothing else to offer but my will to see Liberty free.
And if I have to shoot my former wingmen for it, I will. But my face got to be painted in blue, red and white.

that attitude is more than enough. I have wondered what you'd do. Would you have been reckless? Would you have denied? I will provide you one of our ships for a limited time. Don't try running off with it and if you are capable you should completely cut power from all your ship's systems. We have use for it later.
I do not think you expected anything else from this. I am not having the luxury of taking in whoever sends me a messsage. We are actively fighting the Navy and their supporters before anything else.
If you accept I want you to take down at least one Navy ship. Do not engage anyone else. I will need confirmation for those and if you do not return my ship we will find it.

Admiral Knight.
I accept. But you can be certain, I'll bring the heads not only from the Navy, but from Rogues, 'Casts and whatnot that thrives on Liberty's pain. I'll be shutting down the L-117 shortly, and will be sitting my behind at the Freeport 2 bay, waiting for your people.

Admiral Knight.
After returning from the foray into the uncharted system with entrance in Hudson, acting as escort of the Harmony, I decided I had enough of Pacifica, rheinlanders and my urge to shoot them and did some patrols in system.
Hope that clears the air for you, right? But it doesn't clear it for the battle-group. If they are coming to Bering, they are looking for you, me and the whole lot. I suggest a secondary location if the First Fleet does come knocking at our door. Your boys and girls are in no shape to take on a medium sized incursion.

I apologise for having you do this but this is essentially our life now. We cannot afford to trust everyone and I need to be certain I take capable people into the Battlegroup.
Thank you for the information about the Navy's movement, our ships aren't all kept in the same place and the Unioners guard the system. So their scouts are of little concern while there is still a war to fight.
You'll receive the coordinates to meet with a ship of the Battlegroup, from there you can make your way to the Harmony.
