TRANSMISSION COMMENCING......
Greetings sirs,
I have recently learned of the XA through a smugling contact of mine on Planet Pittsburg. Allow me a moment to introduce myself. My name is Jake Cutter, pilot of the fine ship the Cutter's Goose. My name might be unfamiliar to you... I have been on the run for quite some time now and remain well out of the limelight. My father was Bruce Cutter, one of Ageira's best shippers and the main runner of Gate/Lane parts to Tau23. Apparently 26 years of loyalty meant nothing as he was framed for a crime he did not commit. It seems like the CEO of the Foreign Shipping Division of Ageira was unsatisfied with his multi-million credit salary and was embezzling funds from the Company. The shipping log sheets were modified and my father was chosen to be the scapegoat to shift blame from the CEO. His train was stopped near the Jumpgate to Kepler by 6 Navy patrol craft. It seems that they had already branded him a traitor to "The Big 3" Companies and was immediately fired upon. His craft was destroyed and he managed to make it to his escape pod, which mattered little..... his pod was destroyed seconds after launching. Then, a short while later, the Navy busted our door down on Pueblo Station and arrested my mother and older brother. The only reason I wasn't taken as well, was my age. I never did see them again. Seems like it was off to the Pueblo Orphanage for me. That lasted for 2 years until I managed to stow away on an independent freighter bound for the Omicrons. The Captain found me and took a liking to me. For seven years he taught me all about being a pilot, and then bought me a ship of my very own.
For another 6 years I flew with him as his escort, until we were ambushed in Texas by some Outcast and Rogue scum. I barely made it out alive.....only me.
And that's why I am sending you this message. I've waited half my life to enact my vengeance upon those who took everything and everyone from me. I do not fear death, it has always been a part of my life. When you have nothing, you have nothing to lose.
I look foward to meeting an XA representitave so that I can discuss my skills and see if they would be beneficial to you.
-Jake Cutter out.
