Hello. I am currently returning to Manhattan from yet another unsatisfying job, and would like to join your fighter wing in hope that I'll get a decent living wage for once. Their idea of a promotion was putting me in charge of this prison ship, working more, and no raise. So let's see how they like this.

Hah! Those fools thought I'd sit idly by and return to normal life after what they put me through? Idiots, the lot of them.
Alright, here's the real story. I'm a former freelance computer hacker, usually worked for various corporations here in Liberty. You may have heard of me, one of my old aliases, the one Liberty didn't pin anything on me for, was Blackmoon. Corporations paid me, I acquired poorly-secured information, their competitors found out about the hired hacking attempts (though never my identity), so they paid me to retaliate. It was a beautiful arrangement. I could've retired at 25 at the rate I was earning money. From this, I learned of corporate corruption.
Then I got curious and decided to try my skills against a Liberty Security Force server. No damage, no payment, simply did it for the challenge. And for this, I was thrown in jail for five years. It was supposed to be longer, but their records weren't kept on paper, and... well, you get the idea.
I learned an important thing from my imprisonment: Allies are immensely valuable. With the help of an organization like yours, I'd have been released much faster.
I prefer using combat craft, and I have some prior experience with a Dagger, having used one to gun down some Ageira goons that discovered my identity. However, I must confess that I am not the greatest pilot alive, though my still being alive says something, so any additional training you can provide would be immensely appreciated.
Now, as for Mr. Hayes? He's the pilot of the vessel bringing me back to Manhattan. I don't much care for the guy, considering the times he bludgeoned me with a metal bar for laughing at his ridiculous haircut. I must say, the delay has done nothing to make revenge less sweet.
I have full confidence that you will come up with a way to respond, and I hope you decide to accept my services.
