To Whom It May Concern:

I'm Torre Magusson and I want to join. I need money and protection. Its as simple as that. The Rogues are after my head, and you guys are the only one I can turn to. Why? Well, lets starts at the beginning.

I used to be Cadet Torre Magusson of the Liberty Police. But you know what? Theyre all bastards. When something goes wrong, they point the blame on the most convenient scapegoat. And thats what they did to me, those ********. When an innocent civilian ship get blasted because a patrol was a bit too trigger happy, you knew bad PR, punishment, and finger pointing was coming.

Unfortunately, all the finger pointing, punishment, and bad PR was all laid upon one guy: me. My freaking wing mates put all the blame on me, just because I was a littleexcitable. And my boss ate that crap!

The media got wind of this, and the press made suck a stink that the higher-ups demanded action from my boss. Needless to say, I got kicked out of the force.

Afterwards, my name became mud, and no one would hire me for ANYTHING. I couldnt even get a job hauling water! With no income and still mad at the cops, I resorted to someillegal means to get money.

Unfortunately, my career as a criminal was thoroughly short. I joined the Rogues to get back at the cops, but my trigger-happy finger got me really in trouble when I kept shooting down my ownteammates.

Course, they were all ***** and didnt like me one bit, so maybe they were just being ********. Either way, they turned on me and tried to shoot me down. I was just able to get away, but not before I blasted the biggest bastards of them all down.

Unfortunately, he was real popular with the Rogues, so now theyre hunting me down in revenge. I tried to go to the cops for help, but they were real cold to me. In fact, everyone I turn either gave me the cold shoulder or tried to blast me down. I tried going underground, but they keep finding me. And now, my funds are almost gone. My only option is with you guys.

Look, you guys need guys who can shoot, and I fit the bill. Im not as trigger happy as I was before, so dont worry about me blasting down allies. You guys can protect me from the bastards after me, and give me a steady paycheck. Thats all I want. So, please, please help me. Im on my last leg here.

Torre, signing out.
