Comm ID: Gaius Baltar
To: Liberty authorities (whomever they may be)
I fly a Bounty Hunter Gunship with a Mercenary ID. In fact, I've just purchased this vessel and ID today. I came to New York, Liberty this day seeking employment when I was fired upon by the USS Titan.
I had a most unfriendly visit. I must say that I had absolutely no idea that there was a lockdown on mercenaries in Liberty until this incident. Since I have no affiliation with anyone and am under no contract by anyone, I do not see how I can be of any threat. I asked numerous individuals for employment (to include escorting traders and assistance with patrols for SA).
From the rumors I've heard, none of the houses want to hire mercenaries. No wonder there are some who accept bounty contracts on you. Now I do not intend to carry out any of these bounties. I'd rather just get a paycheck (escorting traders would be great). But how the heck are we supposed to be good when the good guys are shooting at us?
Could you please give me a break? Let me seek out employment. Even if you do not wish to employ me, let me find some traders that might need an escort here and there.
