...I'm David"Cerberus"Clay, former Liberty Police targeting systems technician who's had enough of the corruption. They seized my family's property then moved in for arrests for not being able to pay the steep monthly "protection tax." I managed to evade capture along with my brother Edgar"Platypus"Clay. Finally after a few years of laying low, my brother and I raided the Police Impound Lot on Manhattan while the "guards" were more than caught up with their evening caffeine crash, we hacked, spliced and vacated promptly with a couple Starfliers "borrowed" from right under their noses.
This story would have had a very abrupt ending if my brother wasn't flying on my wing. On our way to Rochester, the Police locked up our transponder freq's as we hit the debris field, strangely they didn't follow. Instead we hit a small blockade. Only five actually engaged though. Together we gave those incompetent cops some cheap laser surgery. Oh the look on their captured faces as they were sold off to whatever fate awaited them, Priceless.
We managed to barely scrape by on our way to Rochester, scavenging up credits whenever we could. With the cash we got from that cop transfer , and the salvaged weapons from a few Xeno encounters, we had enough credits to move somewhere else. We still had no clue where to find the Hackers, then we got a tip that someone somewhere on Buffalo has partial knowledge of Hacker routes. The tip seemed vague, but a tip nonetheless and good enough for us. After a couple small donations of fine Detroit firearms, the Rogues let us dock. Who would have thought that roasting a bunch of Ageiran gun runners would have paid off so well? Afterwards, the info was cheap, but highly detailed. We were off to Mactan the next day in our surprisingly well maintained vintage Daggers left over from the Nomad War. After a couple days on Mactan, we ran into a few Hackers, Svengali, Alec Trevelyan, and Phate, who were kind enough to point us in the right direction and help us in our cause to join the Hackers.
