Static dances across the screen as the transmission begins, then tapping is heard and a finger appears, hitting the camera. Ava leans back in her seat as the camera clears.
"Well well, you seem like a man of action. I like that." Rattler smiles slightly at this, and continues. "We do tend to get into to trouble around here, I'm sure you understand. As to your reasons... They seem true, whatever they are. We also tend to destroy foreigners that pass by, though with less... sneaking, I suppose. If you are ready for more, then we'll have you." Ava yawns and picks up a cup that was off-screen, taking a sip. "Nice kill, anyway. I love to see a ship burst apart myself. Meet me at Ames, and we can talk more. See you there."

I greet you, Xenos of Liberty.
My name is Lares Daleson. And I wish to join your group.
I always was a part of the mining family from planet Pittsburgh. Yet, when part of my family lost their jobs due to imports from Kusari and Bretonia...
I wish Liberty to be unified and self-sufficient. We should not bow before foreign traders and politics, like our politicians do.
*sighs* You can contact me via private channels if so you wish.

Another miner type. Not surprising, really, the conditions could make anyone strike back. Lets take this somewhere more personal then, maybe you'll tell me more. Get over to Ames.

Howdy, everyone.
My name's Henry Stracke, a native of Houston.
My family used to run a mag-lev rail factory, but they were eventually forced to sell due to pressure from the big corps.
I guess that's how it goes with most private companies in Liberty these days - so you could say my reasons for wanting to join the Alliance are the same as anyone's.
I studied economics at Houston, and in doing so became massively frustrated with the system we have in place. Essentially, with most trade nowadays moving across house lines, only big shippers and the financial sector can really make money.
It drives me crazy, thinking of those banker fat cats juggling imaginary money around while Liberty workers are all out of jobs.
And I cannot believe people that have studied this, like me, can support all this remorselessly.
But who am I telling this, you know all about the situation.
Long story short, I decided to join the Xenos to try to remedy this situation in any way I can.
*Message Begins*
Right, you'll be getting this message in the cargo hold of one of our fighters. Be glad we decided to put enough trust in you to even pick you up.
Now, we'd like to know who you are before anything else happens. You will be dropped off at Ames, and proceed to the bar there. Don't even think of trying anything stupid. You can explain exactly who you are then, and we might even consider letting you join!

Lancehead here.
Luke,
Go to Ames. Talk with bartender there. He is to be trusted.
I'll send someone to Ames to meet you and talk. We'll see what happens next but you have to understand that with your military history we will expect you to do everything possible to prove you're not a spy.
