You're alone. So you got an idea about the feeling we face each day. That's good! Many recruits fail to be alone for that long.. being on his own makes a pilot somewhat special. And you are alone.. good good... and you managed to get yourself a ship. Tells me you ain't dumb. I like that.. like smart people.
Now, I'm plotting a course for you, that you'll follow. We can test your piloting skills that way as you did not mention if you ever used a ship before. The course will lead you through a debris field. Also get yourself familiar with your ship's jump module as you're going to jump through a non categorised jump hole into the Colorado system. Afterwards, well just dodge some rocks and you're almost there. The docking codes will be send once your signal is close to our base. So keep this channel open. Everything else will be tought once you're with us.
Welcome to the Alliance.
And please don't die on your way here, I'd like to meet you!
**Message encryption in progress**
**Running xenos.exe**
**Access files to main Xeno base aquired, sending message to main computer**
**A MESSAGE REACHES OURAY AND STREAMS THROUGHOUT THE BASE**
**OPENING MESSAGE 046364**
**Uploading Video Log 6677**
Comms... Check... Signal... Check...
**Video feed opens and a dark image of a well built man is standing, facing diagnally accross from the video feed, but standing in the centre*
"Xenos... This message reaches you, and you alone... It is impossible to track otherwise"
*He draws a deep breath and lets out a small sigh*
"There are few who know me, even fewer who know my real name, or the firt thing about me... Generally beause I care not to care for people these days..." *He pauses for a minute, as if to think, but carries on* "Every one of you, has my faith, so I will tell you my name... I am Joe Cook... I been working as a low level independant escort fighter and mercanry, for those willing to pay... I go by the codename of 'Black Mist'... I doubt anyone here would have heard of me... Let me start out b saying, I care not to say what I have done or seen... I care not to say I am the best fighter, because I am not..." *He stops and turns on a light, he is bruised and battered, the video feed drops slightly and on the floor, are 2 dead people who are dressed in Liberty Rogue uniform, their bodies heavily battered and bruised and no movement is seen, the video feed then goes back to almost darkness* "As you see... I am more than capable... These two tried to kill me only several moments ago...."
**The video cuts out temporarily and then restores, lights switched on, Joe is standing clearly visable on the camera. He is well built, has very short black hair, and several bruises accross his face, and a small scrape on his left cheek. He looks quite menacing but also somewhat relaxed and easy to get on with... He clears his throat**
Liberty has perished long enough... This whole house is full of lies, slander, false trading.. They will burn for their crimes... Ageira and IC are the key... They posses the buttons for Liberty's so called regime... The scum! *He smiles and walks forward towards the camera and laughs* Xenos... Together, we can bring down the hyporisy and the greed of a once great nation.
I am at your service *bows*
**The transmission ends and the base is back to normal**
// if ther's anything else I need to add, I will edit it in or out... thanks for readin :cool:
It is a story we have heard many many times. The hardship, the greed, the corruption. I am sure you know I could go on and on about what ails Liberty. That isn't the point here. The point is, you want to do something about it. So do we.
I am pleased that you contacted us with your desire to help Liberty be great again. We can use one such as you to help bring that to pass. So, Here is what I want you to do. Since you knew where to aim your transmission, I want you to head here to meet me. Once you approach the docking bay give them this code...*code attached*, The dock officer will then give you clearence to land. Needless to say, don't misplace that code. Once you have landed one of the dock crew will let me know you have arrived.
Name Bock, Bock Tentacool D ought any of ya know who I am none of you ever seen me cleaning up the backstreets of Colon, Stungit (Capital of Denver) I've been done had it up to here with them Government officials trying to bring in more good's from out of our system and I've been told about a few of the groups out there. But I've seen to become a little bit attached to you fine fellas See I can come to see that we have a common enemy. No not really the government but the people they work with, Foreign component. I would like to ask if there could be a meeting to discussed if ones such as your self would allow a small time kind in to your establishment.
Well, Bock, you're a bit on the young side but I've heard how things can be on Denver. If its anything like Houston then you learn early or end up dead. And I'm sure we can find you a spot. We'll have one of our contacts look you up. We'll handle the rest from there.
I was ... an exemplary soldier,
Obeying every order blindly.
I fought for Liberty, for the government, which now I despise.
I've shed a lot of blood ...
but for who?
I don't know.....
My name is Mortimer Beckett, generations of Libertonian-Welsh decent run through my vains,
Guess I'm grumpy and stubborn by nature, but always just.
A miners life was the one of my father and grandfather and his father ...
But during the war I was drafted by the Navy for the defense of Liberty.
On returning home I found out Liberty as I knew it changed.
It became corrupted , People were full of greed and envy.
Large corporations got rich at the expense of us, simple people, who truly loved
their Liberty, But not this rotten corrupt farcade.
Back home I tried to point out that the government was doing wrong and I thought
being a war veteran would make people hear my voice...
but it was all in vain.
Nobody even wanted to listen to me for a minute, let alone to lift their fat buttocks from their beloved armchairs.
I lost hope....
Ended up visiting all the bars to get drunk and looking for some reason in this.
Until I met a few people,
it seems harsh, the anger I hold towards everything that represents this government and the law of corruption in Liberty.
Though some people know what I am talking about.
In the army I only heard rumors of them, and slowly got an image of who they are
in general, and what they fight for.
I found very hard to get information about them.
Most roads brought dead ends.
Until at last after a long search I found the Xenos Alliance.
So now here I am before you, bitter at the Liberty government and very determined to fight against corruption.
To fight the system.
Your.. application for our cause is reasonable and trust me when I say, we've all been through what you're currently facing. However, allow me to ask a question. I wonder... we normally don't receive messages over that account. The private account of Jonathon Jones, that is. How much do you know, about Jonathon Jones? And how did you get this adress at all? Just wondering. Sending a message here normally rings some LSF Officer's bell who then starts to investigate. I'd like you to be on your guard. Answer the question however and we're getting you outta there.
Personally.. i don't know a Jonathan, or maybe i was met him...
i dunno maybe he was a man in Ouray base in pub that he give me a info to contact a Jonathon,
or like you say maybe is a trap from LPI that trough me get Jonathon him self,
so you could check with mr. Jonathon Jones about that.
It's quite odd to contact Liberties most wanted man without actually knowing who he is. It's suspicious and I wonder why I.. and why we should trust you.
Enlighten me. Maybe you got something to offer that i'm not seeing here. As it stands right now, I rather think you're some LPI spy or whatever. I demand answers!
Alright lets cut the cryptic.
So you don't know how to trust me?
I guess the fact that the last person I asked about how to join your alliance told me specifically to look for Jonathan Johnson won't do.
Now let me flip it for ya.
How do I know if i can trust you?!
You ain't the guy I've been told to look for...
Lets cut to the chase here , I am offering y'all my ship and my life.
The things we can achieve together are far more great than the things I can achieve by myself.
And I'm sure y'all can always use a extra pilot.
