Kallisti.
I'm sure your inbox is overflowing or even full by now after your little exposé. I need not congratulate you for doing the right thing as I have no doubt the multitude of threats you've likely received, both explizit and implied, have suffiziently reassured you of that; nor would I bother you merely to offer my thanks. Instead, I'm asking about your next step, whatever that might be. We can meet in space to discuss it if you'd prefer, but if you're willing and able to accept my assistanze, what you've done for my people certainly merits it.

Hi, thanks for the encouragement. Half the messages I'm getting are commending me, and the other half are telling me that I'm being a stupid idiot. I'm sure the truth is somewhere between those two extremes.
I've got three offers of asylum so far. Two of them are sincere, one of them is bait. I'm keeping them at arm's length at the moment, and I figure that my best escape route at the moment is fading into the background. However, I'm expecting that there will be Zoner factions that are willing to help. I assume you're among the ones that would want to do that. One way or another, I'm definitely going to need help.

Now that I'm safely far away from Liberty, we can start collating the data that I managed to extract before my broadcast. It's less than I would have liked--if I wanted to make a real impact, I would have collected as many communications logs as I could and released them all as a massive chunk without discrimination. However, time was limited and I had to choose carefully to make sure I didn't get caught.
The other half of this is going to be making sure that I have a reliable source to transmit from. I assume that Pennsylvania is being carefully monitored at this point, because that was the original source of the broadcast. So I want to try something else this time. I want to distribute the broadcast from multiple centers, so that we can ensure that even if one source goes down, the others keep going.
The problem here, of course, is finding people to host it. You can help me out there, though. If you take the data to Fontana Freeport, or maybe another similar station in or near Liberty, then we can ensure that we have one more place that'll be shouting.
This is a big ask, and dangerous. If it's more than you can manage, then I'll understand. But you've taken me this far, and I want to see this through. I hope you do too.

When I made my way to Liberty in the first place, I was fully expecting to be in the middle of a fight. Now I'm wrapped up in the middle of a different sort of battle. Either way, if danger comes to me, I'm prepared to deal with it. I'll head to Fontana, and to Heisenberg, and maybe get a few other places squawkin'. Once we finish sifting through it all, you just say the word and I'll head out.

We're in this together now and there's no turning back until it's done.
Since the data has been collated, I want you to get out there as soon as possible. I only have one transmitter, but that should be all that we need, and the amount of information I need to send is comparatively small. You, on the other hand, will need to take copies of my message to the stations in question and ensure that they get sent on their wide-band neural net relays. I don't care how you do this--negotiate with the administrator, wire them directly into the antennae, anything that works. These receivers are consumer-grade, but the transmitter I have is ESRD. It should be able to transmit the simple GO signal with enough strength that it reaches all of them.

I'm on it. I'll gather my things and move out ASAP. It'll take some time to traverse around to different stations, especially to ones across the sector, but I know how to get around well enough out in the Edge. Hitting up the Freeports comes first. Afterwards, I'll move into the Core. I -- we -- have a couple of friends in low places. I hope that they come through.

Cobra f*cking backstabbed us, so we're going to have to find other ways to press this advantage. Do you know anyone in the Zoners who would throw their support behind what I'm saying?

I can't say I'm surprised. He speaks too well to not have rehearsed everything he says.
I'm sure you're already in contact with ol' Doc. Last I heard, Holliday was holing up on Erie somewhere. If not, I'd start there. Him and his have always been willing to stick their neck out for every Zoner there is. It's been a long time since I had any sway on Eight, although I helped co-administrate it while it was still under construction. The Rheinlanders have long since infiltrated the crew there, and I doubt the civil war distracted the Marinenachrichtendienst agents aboard from their task. My current best guess is to look for old-timers who fled Two, and anyone at Ames or Six who can attest to the shady stuff that House intel gets up to, how they flagrantly disregard Freeport regs to stage hostile operations and intel gathering against non-House forces, and see if they have any tales which might lend credence to your own.
For my part, about all I can say is that during one of Bretonia's many sieges against One, there were a few Navy and SF siege cruisers that somehow made their way down there to help shoot at us. Prior to the Erie catastrophe kicking off, I'd never been to Liberty; although I've mostly learnt my way around by now, I don't have any other friends here or nearby to reach out to.
Last-ditch suggestions would be the Lane Hackers, the Unioners, and the Order themselves. None are trustworthy, but all have either insider intel or extensive military and propaganda experience, as well as resources that can slip under the radar while also punching far above their own weight. If you want me to try and reach out to Overwatch or any of the others, I'll see what I can do.
