Captain Rhoswan now, huh?

Congratulations on the promotion. I'll raise a soda in your honor.

But I'm no hero and these people don't need saving either, just a little more firepower. Something we're happy to provide and have been doing ever since the pirate coalition overran Bering.

Bowman is wisely going to keep his own people out of the crossfire of this blood feud. After all, it's our score to settle ever since the earliest days of the Commonwealth's tyranny. He has no skin in the game, and we wouldn't want to share our pound of flesh anyway.

We've played our opening move and won't be able to catch the fools by surprise twice. Now it's time to dig in and hunt - to drive them out and away from positions of power and influence. That's the only way we can insulate Erie from either becoming another Commonwealth, or something worse altogether.

I'll keep you updated.

"Liberty or death."
