Patrick "Cowboy" Hale here, sorry for the quality of the recording, but I've had this little bugger too long to get rid of it.
*sounds of someone stretching and popping several joints*
It's been a busy time in new york lately. I remember the times of the SA and all the politics that happened back then. Bad times, bad times... Anyways...
I don't want to see that happen again. Liberty is too important to fall under the tides of piracy and debauchery that seem to threaten us daily. We are a beacon of light for the future of mankind, and I'll be damned if I let that light go out!
That, is why I am so determined and will not rest until I have purged every pirate that comes across my path of their filthy souls.
*again, he coughs* Sorry if it sounds harsh, but, it's a touchy issue for me. I have seen some things over the past few days, that has quite frankly disturbed me. Since when did we pander to pirates and killers? Yeah, run em off back to their holes, scare them into walkin the straight road, but when they breach the very orbit of manhattan, and I am ordered to stand down and let a known terrorist, cannibal and all around EVIL maniac, "walk away" with his captives, including some of OUR men...
*he pauses for a good long while*
I find this...
just...
It puts me at a loss for words.
Some of you have the mistaken idea that I am a traitor, or some dangeous rogue agent. I have turned in my Guardian, and taken the helm of an old guild ship I once flew, well, it was a surprise gift from some old friends who wished me well, but since some members of the fleet had voiced concerns over my using a naval vessel, and well, the techs were giving me hell, I switched. I do not work for any pay beyond the satisfaction of knowing I do my best daily to keep the people of liberty safe, I support my ship and my mission with the spoils of enemy pilots I down, and the pittance that I am paid for the capture of the pilots themselves. I ask nothing of my fellow Libertonians, and my fellow warriors in the navy than a helping hand and swift backup.
And yet I am almost spat upon by some naval officers?
I ask you to rethink your actions towards myself and the other independent patriots who stand up daily to aid you in the fight against evil. Liberty is our home too, we will defend it, and where you cannot act, we will.
Yeah... anyways, my respects to the Admiralty. Cowboy, out.
