Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I assume someone will be receiving this message.
This is Dr. Perseus Friend speaking, former employee of Ageira Tech. as of two days ago. Sadly, I find myself on the run now along with my wife, Melissa. You see... I have been working for the past year on a program in their newest R&D section for trade-lane adjustments. Basically the higher-ups wanted a new system that would aid corporate traders to easily make use of trade-lanes while the ship is on auto-pilot. I was working on a part of that project but I randomly encountered some encrypted files. They contained evidence of involvement from Interspace Commerce in this project in such a way that the new system would benefit them exponentially. I realized that Ageira was working with them against the other corporations, and essentially against the law, but as i tried to confront my superiors i was pushed back. It wasn't long before I started receiving threats at home to remain silent, so I've decided to find myself a getaway.
Ah, it seems like someone may be intercepting this...
As I was trying to say... that getaway, I hope, will be the fold of the Hackers. Working a computer specialist for over ten years should be enough for me to fit with your line of work, and now that I know these corporate vampires do not care about others, I'd rather work against them than for them.
I'm certain you'll know how to contact me, provided you'll choose to offer me a place amongst you.
