I am Megiddo, and I represent Task Force Prometheus - the surviving remnants of the Hellfire Legion, once the military arm of the Commonwealth of House Liberty. Our primary goal at this time is the Liberation of the people of Erie, including our interned citizens who fled the Insurgency usurper’s military junta from Bering.
There is a difficult road ahead of us in the realization of this objective, and my artificial self is aware that such movements have failed to bear fruit thus far. Prometheus offers you this:
The Legion spent 22 years waging a successful guerrilla campaign against the Republic, and another 5 successfully defending the sovereignty of the fledgling Commonwealth. It was through Harmony’s betrayal that the Legion failed Liberty. We will not fail again.
While we are aware that Phoenix’s primary interests and force projection lie in the edgeworlds, we have cause to believe that you find the Republic’s annexation and subjugation of Erie as abhorrent as we do. We are deeply interested in the extent to which your organization may be willing to cooperate with us in achieving these ends.
To be honest I was somewhat surprised to receive a message from you, as I assumed that Insurgency was crushed by Liberty forces as whole. Anyway, let me introduce myself - my name is Christian Burton, leader of the Phoenix.
You are correct about the loss of Erie, for the Zoners the almost total loss of a planet is like a ugly scar on the body. We continue to live, but his pain constantly reminds us of him. But, at the moment we are not in a position to influence the situation even in the long term.
We are happy to help in your endeavors, but you must realize that our opportunities are extremely scarce, especially considering the distance between us.
