LEND A HAND?

Cobra,

I'm in a spot of trouble. I can't really go into detail about it - protocol and all that - but things have gone very wrong and I could use your and the Alliance's help. Are you willing to hear me out?

LEND A HAND?

I'll keep it brief.

I lost my ship and got stranded on Manhattan. I can't reach anyone in Section 8. I did manage to get my hands on a Starflier in the mean time, but the seller forgot to mention that it lacks jump access. I'm not about to fly a second-hand shuttle into the fields by myself, and that's where you could come in. Mind doing me a favor and provide an escort to Galileo? I should be able to get myself sorted there and figure out what's going on.

Transmit your location, an associate of mine is in-system and can bring you over to our neck of the woods, once you're here you can be underway to wherever it is you intend to go with an escort as requested, and in something that isn't a glorified escape pod.

I can rendezvous with your man at the southern edge of the Jersey field. That should keep us clear of any police patrols.

HELP APPRECIATED

Commander,

Things worked out alright, thanks again for the assistance. Managed to get my hands on a proper ship again, but Section 8 remains unreachable, so I'm not sure what I should do next. I guess I'll just keep doing my job - keep an eye on things around Liberty - until I hear from my superiors again. So if you need any help with the alien and its followers, you know whom to call. Until then, I'm sure we'll see each other around.

Back from the dead

Commander,

Section 8 has resurfaced. I haven't been briefed on what exactly happened yet, but it probably won't need to concern you anyway. What matters is that we are back in business. However, Captain Hawkins and the Unto Nightfall remain indisposed, so, for the time being, you will have to contend with having only me in the neighborhood.

Just wanted to keep you updated. (I was also given orders to do so.)
