Yes I know you have no reason to listen to me, for I have worked against what you believe my entire life, but times change, people change, and so have I.
But allow me to introduce myself. I was born on Planet Denver in the year of 792 AS. Times were a bit different then, but not much has changed as you are well aware of that. Never did I miss anything in my life, as my family provided me with all that I asked. Lincoln Memorial is the school I attended when 7 years old. In school the teachers described me as a lazy, but capable person, always did I excell in mathematics, physics and mechanics, and thus my choice of further education was a logical one. First 3 years of my high school education was at the Denver Flight and Technology school while the forth, the last year I enlisted in the Liberty Navy, as they offered me schoolarship in their program for Space Research and Technology. In the same program I spent the next 2 years in getting my master's degree in SRT. Thus finding a job was easy, and the Navy employeed me as a Flight Simulator Developer.
From that point on life was good, I met a beautifull girl, that I plan to marry, and.....ohh that is not important, it is not why I'm contacting you.
For 5 years have I worked on the Flight Simulator Development, and year after year, month after month has the project received less and less funding by the government, thus all that worked on the project began receiving a reduction in their paychecks, including myself. We protested, but as you can imagine with this government, not much happened. We were given a promise that the wages will rise up again. That was a year ago. Now the life was hard in the last two years, and the last year has become unberable.
The Bank of Liberty provided me with a credit loan, that I became unable to pay with the recent events, therefore I lost my house, my ship, my girlfriend's parents support, even she has doubts now. But her situation is no better. To make things better, I lost my job as of late. And the explanation they gave me was very simple in their eyes, the project has no future, and you and your team are not worthy the credits the government is losing on you. Not their words exactlly, but you get the picture. Also rumor has it, that some Kusari company is doing the same research, and has agreed to sell it to Liberty. And that is more profitable then to waste time and money on your own workers that do the same thing. My own family disowned me because of this, accusing me being a disgrace to the family name. I don't blame them, who knows what the government has said to them, but I never liked them much anyway. It is simple, I have nowhere to go.
So what could I offer you for you to greet me amongst your ranks. Not much, besides the mutual hate towards the government, and the foreign companies that have more influence in Liberty then its own people. I can also offer the most recent maps of Liberty territory, and the Flight Simulator prototype. It could be useful to train cadets. I'm not much of a pilot. I have around 1500 hours in the simulator I was developing, but real combat flight training, 30 hours, the minimum that was required to enter the SRT program. What I require is a safe home for me and my girlfriend who is coming with me, why that is not important, and a safe passage for us from Ames Research Station to wherever.
I will leave a backdoor channel open on this channel, one of your own that is skilled with computers will be able to find it, and you can contact me through there. I do hope to receive a message from you.
