To Whom it may concern,
I am known only as Cromartie. I used to work for Ageira Technologies developing some of their more known technologies. Mainly the Trade Lane systems. I had came up with an advancement that would rid the use of the Trade Lane rings. It was a mere simple ball about a foot's length in diameter. It would cost much much less then the current ring system they use, and would be much more efficient in terms of ship travel. When I submitted the plans to the boss, it seemed as if he agreed. The next day I came into work at Pueblo and noticed a few Navy ships sitting around the base. I had thought someone had came and robbed the place over night. Once I docked my ship and exited it, I proceeded to head to my office. Not a minute after I entered, I was surrounded by Navy Officers. I had absolutely no clue what was going on, or what would happen.
They ended up detaining me saying that I have committed various crimes against Ageira including theft, bribery, treason, and even murder. They had thrown me into the hold of one of their ships, and proceeded to take me to jail. I thought it would have taken me to Manhattan to await trial, but instead they handed me off to a few members of the Liberty Security Force. Once I was transferred over, they took me into this very.......different....system. They threw me into this prison. Its a place I have never seen before. After talking to a few of the inmates, I found out I was in a place called Prison Station Fairbanks, Alaska.
My fellow inmates informed me that once here, there is no trials. Our existence is erased for all eternity. Furthermore, there was supposedly no escape. Having worked for Ageira, and a forth generation ex-Naval pilot, I knew that there is always a way out of everywhere. Over the next few months, I scouted the bit of the prison I was allowed access to, which wasn't much. I got my roommate to help me with a plan, a plan to escape.
One night, I had my roommate call for the guard. Smartly, the guard came to the bars, and no further. My roommate claimed that he was sick and needed medical attention. Foolishly the guard called medical to come and take the prisoner away. Once the two doctors left with my roommate, the guard turned around and proceeded to head out of the cell. I immediately jumped out of my bed and ambushed him. Knocking him unconscious, I was able to strip him and get into his clothes. I took his keys and side arm and locked the cell as I headed for the hangar. Once there I took a ship and ran like the wind. It had a autopilot setting to take me straight to New York. I knew that I had to get rid of the ship, and quick. I figured that the law enforcement would look for me in Liberty, thinking I would be stupid enough to hang around with their ship. They were wrong. I was able to make it all the way to Freeport 2 in Bering. There I got the ship scrapped so thoroughly, that all that was left was just a bit of scrap metal. With the credits I was given for the parts, I bought myself a Civilian Bomber, and headed for Ouray.
I now sit here requesting to join the Alliance, so I can strike back, I have been humiliated for the last time. Liberty seems to be more corrupt then what I have heard, and I want to make sure the word spreads far and wide. I must stop Liberty and its actions, either alone or with you, the Xenos. All I request is a chance to fly with you all, and hopefully join you, and show the "great" Liberty that her reign is no more. I will be awaiting a transmission back here on Ouray.
