Yet you were one of the few who chose to stay silent when I called. It behooves me to ask you why you made such a choice, now that you find yourselves facing down the Corsairs.
I wish to invite you to meet with me, at a place we both knew well before it became the graveyard it is today. Vespucci, at your own leisure.

I've read your... thing. From what I understand you are an artificial being that belongs to the Technocrats, yet you claim to be all the great people of the Hellfire Legion combined. That on its own is a travesty, but I'll amuse you.
I've reached out to the remnants of the Hellfire Legion far sooner than your little announcement yet I received only a few while the rest kept their silence. We've scanned Vespucci, Magellan, Kansas and the Inverness through and through, we discovered nothing remains standing of our past yet, your friends who were nothing but fledglings when I was around somehow have developed far more than they should have.
Separatists, Insurgency, Auxesia, all of them sought to absorb something from us for their own agendas and corrupted something which I personally longer and worked for, the outopia for the true Legionnaires, an act that will never be forgiven.
How about you present yourself properly, little robot, before you start questioning someone you owe your very presence to.

You are owed nothing from the likes of me other than the answers to a few questions. I am not Megiddo, nor do I carry a shred of its compacted little mind. So I would be mindful of what you assume.
No. I was a wingman of yours, friend. I once served alongside you. Joshua Hunt is my name, and I left the Legion long before it became twisted into what its corpse represents. You may not remember me, but I remember you. I remembered you all. Worked at your sides even as the dream slowly died.
The remnants you're looking for, the bulk who did not end up with me ended up with Prometheus. One of the many little pockets of hopefuls trying to recapture the ideas of before. The Incursus, the Manticore... Many of our old stalwart war horses still ride on. Each look towards a brighter future, even in the rising tide of disbelief from the enemy.
I offered to present myself to you. To even share a drink and catch up.
That offer still stands, if you truly want to know what's become of our people.

I remember you Hunt, you were a Lieutenant in the early days of the Commonwealth. It saddens me even more to hear that you fled our ranks long before the collapse. And that is not something that deserves praise.
My stance remains the same however, towards you and Prometheus, who are deemed to have their ranks compromised. As for your reminiscing of the past, I've had plenty of time to dig for the information I was after, therefore a meeting in person would only be a waste of time.
As for the Corsairs, they are on an entirely different level than ran-off-the-mill academy ensigns of the Liberty Navy. If I return to Vespucci, it will be to burn it, civilians and everything.

Your intel appears to be lacking. I was a Major under Special Operations when I left, not long after the skirmishes in Humboldt were reaching their peak and Dagon was looking at Bretonia with misty eyes. That was before the first troubles struck home, but I always had a knack for seeing the writing on the wall.
No matter. The past is the past, and the only direction that matters to us all is forward. There's far more at play than the simple accusations which have floated around from a few ignorant sources. Do you believe the first thing someone tells you often, or do you prefer to dig a little deeper and meet the truth face to face with a weapon in hand? Hopefully the latter.
The Corsairs are... Problematic. I have had my own run-ins with them over the years. Spent some time in their 'care', too. I'm sure we'll have plenty of time to wax strategy when we see more of each other in the future.
I hope you'll consider meeting me regardless, as many doors can open up with just a few words.

So you're saying that the information you have is not something you constructed yourselves and it's only the hard, cold truth, is it? Prepare the arrangements for the meeting, if something is off even by a little, I'll be coming fully armed and ready to fulfill my promise.

A couple of weeks ago, I even met with a ranking member of the Overwatch and submitted to a scan that could easily verify the claims of others are nothing more than hearsay. Our feud with them is ideological in nature, purely and truly. I'd be happy to share that meeting with you in full detail, and even tell you the name of the Admiral I met with if it puts you at ease.
When I left the Legion, I spent that time chasing one of our greatest mistakes with every intent to destroy it. If you know what I'm speaking of, then I needn't elaborate further, but the Phoenix rose long ago and its flame must be extinguished.
That goal has not changed.
I think there's much in the muck and mire of hearsay that is best resolved from the source. So bring your questions, bring your gun. I'm only here to see if you'll open your eyes.
