I'm withholding my identity for the moment, in the event that this transmission is being monitored. I am...er at least I was, an employee of Ageira, ever since my graduation from Manhattan University. I worked as a junior programmer for their inventory management systems, based out of Colorado.Not the most rewarding career, but it paid the bills. In my spare time I worked on my hacking skills, and not having a ship of my own, practiced in the flight simulators.
I received orders to implement a software upgrade at one of our corporate warehouses on Manhattan. I checked out a corporate Starflier,and proceeded to the New York jumpgate. Once in New York, I was attacked by Xenos. I managed to destroy two of their ships, but eventually I was forced to launch my escape pod.
Waking up in a hospital on Manhattan days later, I was informed that since I was not on an officially sanctioned Ageira mission, I would have to reimburse Ageira Technologies for the cost of the destroyed Starflier, and the cost of my medical care. Furthermore, I was told that since I was now considered an insurance liability, my employment with Ageira was being terminated. Financially, I was ruined.
I hacked into Ageira's systems and noticed that all records of the orders sending me to Manhattan were deleted. Trying to file a complaint with the Liberty Police got me absolutely nowhere. No other companies will hire me, once again due to the fact that thanks to Ageira, I'm now essentially uninsurable.
Using a backdoor I built into my inventory management software, I managed to have one of Ageira's training vessels marked as surplus and moved to a launchpad in Manhattan. If I had tried to steal anything bigger, they would have noticed. I doubt the hull would withstand a stiff breeze, never mind a laser blast, but it should get me off of Manhattan. All I need is somewhere to go.
I could be an asset to the Lane Hackers. I'm proficient with programming, and I'm always working on my piloting skills, and after my experience, I have no love for the corporate world. Hoping to hear a reply soon, I am in the EDT Time Zone (GMT/Liberty Standard -5)
