It seems there's been a whistleblower in the Liberty Navy. "Nicole Hayes", detailing a planned assault on Erie, the contents of which are attached below. As it stands the Zoners of Erie are likely untrusting of us, even though we are the ones who burned the old pack responsible for the events in Bering to ashes, and currently hold territorial imperative over the Unioners, and cleanse the Separatists the same. As it stands currently we have but a handful of days before the attack, it is unlikely we can do much in that time frame, some of you will not see the profit in this, regardless of your opinions, my word is law. Any rogue, of our pack, or otherwise, found taking advantage of this situation will be shot down, without question. /The Zoners are off Limits/ while Erie is besieged.
My loyals will be preparing themselves for re-positioning in the following days, in addition to this, I will continue to route weaponry to the Zoners planetside to the best of my ability, the significance of this, we will see in time.
In relation to profit. It is likely many of you were not around for the time when Freeport 2 in Bering favored our people. Much like Ames favors the Xenos. The old pack, headed by the "Warlord" Dwayne Lewis, worked with the old cell of the Unioners, and their leader, a man named "Frei", and the Separatists, lead by the Harmony itself, to overtake the Zoners of Freeport 2, securing it as our own unlawful junction. This not only killed trade through the system, as well as the pool of resources Freeport 2 afforded us, but secured great spite in the eyes of many Zoner groups as a result. Their more militant types especially.
In that time, we have safeguarded the Zoners of Freeport 14 during their evacuation, and subsequent fortification of their station within Alberta, those who now reside within the system of Inverness, while other rogues sought to take advantage of that, and be a hindrance to the Zoners of Alberta, we did not. During the fuel crisis in Pennsylvania, many pirates, of many walks of life, sought to hinder the aid going to the Zoners of Erie, we did not. To the Zoners of Bethlehem, we've maintained our long standing relationship of trade, thanks to the efforts the Rogues of Niverton, a populace station, who, lacking in the advanced facilities of many of our other bases, found a different approach to situating their position.
The profit in this, is that while what happened to Freeport 2 may not be forgiven, our aid rendered unto Erie in their darkest hour, will never be forgotten, and could serve as the final stepping stone in the line of actions that secures us the gratitude we've been so sorely lacking. Not just gratitude however, a place in which we can walk freely, a place where the sky serves not to terrify, and constrict. A place, where we need not hide in the shadows, lying in wait for our next strike. Erie, is a resource hub, if Liberty should prevail, it will be back to business as normal, should Liberty fail, the benefits far outweigh the potential losses.
This is a win/win, regardless of outcome.
And if that's not enough for some of you, the bounty board will see a double-down increase in payments issued, for the deaths of Liberty elements within Pennsylvania, from now, until the end of this crisis.
