To all pilots of Liberty,

Some of you may know me from my work in the Liberty Police Incorporated, but you may have noticed I have gone missing of late. This is not a coincidence, nor is it a mystery from this point on.

The Liberty Navy, LPI, and LSF are rotten to the core. I started a naive fool in the LPI, no more. The Navy are pure hypocrites, claiming they abhor the Dark Wing's tactics of attack of the weak. This disgusts me. On many occasions they perform the exact deeds they are criticizing, bringing countless gunboats, cruisers, and battleships to take care of 4 or 5 Xeno fighters or a small Hellfire squad of 1 bomber and 3 fighters. I say this from experience, because I was a part of those battles.

I felt guilt swell up in my gut from the overkill, but I pushed it back down, telling myself: "For the good of Liberty.". I was a fool, most of the pilots of the Liberty Navy enjoy beating down these pirate factions with mass displays of military might. Upholding the law? Maybe. But discretion and forethought is more becoming than a fireworks show. I expect most of you agree.

The LPI? Slave drivers, only interested in bribery and free labor in Sugarland and the Huntsville. They are not exempt from the corruption of Liberty. The LSF? I know I'm not the only one who knows there is more going on in Alaska and Zone 21. Why do they keep it from us? If there is reason for secrecy, what's happening there is not a good thing.

As for me? I have given up my duties as an LPI officer. To the few good souls trapped inside the evil war machine, I implore you. Escape while you still can, find a new life, a new cause. Please. I'm in hiding for the moment, don't try to look for me, because you won't find me. I assure you of that. Where do I go next? I don't know, anywhere but Liberty. I'm finished with it.

To the Dark Wings, I wish you all the luck in the universe. Your admirable actions of selflessly helping Liberty are not unappreciated from this former officer. Apache, you helped me on many an occasion. I thank you, friend. Callsign Bean, you as well offered me great support as well. I wish you the best and a successful escape if that's what it comes down to.

I will accept any transmissions on a special comms channel for this occasion. Tell me your cause, and I will examine it carefully.

Liberty is crumbling, get out while you still can or be crushed beneath the destrustion.

Hasting out.
