Thank you for the information you provided me which allowed me to escape Pueblo Station and eventually make it to Montezuma base. Before I go into that the exact details on my escape let me tell you about myself. My name is Matthew Caldwell and I had been working for Ageira for roughly 4 years until the accident. I started working at Ageira as a low-level technician in their weapons department. As the years passed I worked my way up the ladders to the position of weapon system engineer where I helped design, prototype, and test new weapons being developed. I had only been in this position for a few months when I started working on a new weapon system called "Project Torch". It was an experimental version of the "Corona Beam Cannon" which greatly improved the destruction capabilities of it. This project had the attention of many of the higher ups in the company as a lot of credits had been invested into this new project. This wasn't out of the ordinary when it came to these high risk projects so everything seemed to be fine until we started testing this new prototype weapon.
I was chosen by the project manager to run the initial tests of it outside Detroit Munition Station. The tests went as expected as the cannon was fired into the nearby debris field. I was then ordered to test the capabilities of the weapon on one of our testing freighters known as "ATS-White.Sands". Usually this would been conducted much later and after many iterations of the prototype. The goal was to determine the capabilities of the "Torch" weapon against the freighter's shield with a short burst from the cannon. As the order was passed down for me to begin the test I powered the weapon and aimed directly at the freighter. The weapon malfunctioned or something interfered in the firing process, the weapon did not shut down and continued firing at ATS-White.Sands. The ship was destroyed in seconds... TORCH Test
The pilot of the ATS-White.Sands was vaporized and very little remained of the freighter. The death of the pilot and of the failure of the test was placed on me. The assumption was that I purposely killed the pilot of the freighter and the prototype was still perfectly functional. I assume this was to reassure the investors of the project that it would not be canceled or delayed. I was nearly immediately fired from Ageira and local authorities were contacted to bring me in until a trial could be setup. Knowing the deep pockets Ageira has I knew there would never be a fair trial and I would be convicted of murder. I would then be thrown into cell and never be heard from again.
This is when I was contacted by someone in your organization. Your information allowed to to find the abandoned Stargazer vessel and allowed me to escape Pueblo Station in Colorado. I was fired upon immediately during my escape by Ageira security personnel. I managed to escape into the nearby debris field and lose the Ageira fighters that pursued me. Escape from Pueblo Station
As instructed I found a patrol of Xeno fighters flying near the Colorado Jump Hole in New York. The Stargazer definitely wasn’t made for dog fighting but I managed to take out the patrol. I then proceeded to Baltimore Shipyard where I discovered the local authorities were informed about my escape and starting shooting at me when I came into range. I went straight for the supply depots and made short work of them. I then headed straight into the badlands. Destruction of Xeno Patrol Destruction of Depots
Upon entering the Badlands I encountered a Rogue patrol that I followed to Buffalo base. I had very little credits and knew nothing about the workings of the Liberty underground. I was able to pick up a few missions to destroy Bounty Hunter patrols and Liberty Navy patrols that entered the badlands. This provided a nice income to get me started and start making a name for myself around Buffalo. Missions Missions
These missions helped get me going and start earning some respect from the Rogues in the area but the payment for these missions were still pitiful. In order to get the equipment I needed I had to make a few million credits so I decided I would go find some transports or miners to steal from. I headed to Pennsylvania where I encountered several miners that I was able to get some credits out of. This provided a much better source of credits and allowed me to earn those few million credits rapidly Pirating Pirating Pirating
After the I had obtained all the credits I flew over to Bethlehem station where I was able to pick up an used Dromedary freighter that would fit my needs perfectly. Leaving Bethlehem
While only knowing the Liberty Rogues for a short while they agreed to supply me with 51 units of cardamine that I could then take to Montezuma base as instructed. After avoiding Liberty Polices patrols in New York and California I finally made it to Cortez. I slowly approached Montezuma base to make sure no one was following me and then landed. I am now at the bar waiting to be approached by a member of your organization. Approaching Montezuma Cargo
