>Due to my current circumstance in the heart of Liberty I have been

>I have been a Hacker aspirant since my arrival in Liberty. I grew up
>on a base near the Hispania wreck with my mother and a number of
>other families. We were in constant conflict with the Corsairs and
>managed to survive as long as we did only because they did not
>consider us a threat of any significant magnitude. It did not last
>forever, naturally. The Corsairs blame our "downfall" -- read
>"Obliteration a la Corsairs" -- on cardamine. No comment, as I'm
>sure you understand.

>Since then, I have trekked through Sirius, more or less aimlessly.
>In Liberty I decided to establish more of a permanence for myself,
>and I dare say it has worked out to my satisfaction.

>I have made valuable acquaintances within the LSF as well as with
>a number of miners in New York and Colorado. This may not seem
>becoming of a hopeful-to-be Hacker, but I assure you I have aspired
>to join your ranks since I made these acquaintances. The
>incompetence, immorality, and a number of other less flattering
>descriptors are all what Liberty seems saturated with.

>As an aside, I do not understand the recent debates about Area 21.
>I have been there (escorted by an oblivious LSF agent, I might add)
>and there is nothing there but rock, ice, aliens, and a prison or two.
>I'm surprised the Liberty corporations don't simply give it away and
>let someone else take care of it. I do not see how maintaining that
>system is worthwhile.
>
>I have been passing my time mining silver in Colorado. It keeps the
>LSF et al out of my hair, but is barely profitable, let alone interesting.
>My time could be better put to use righting the wrongs of the House
>of Hypocrisy that is "Liberty."
