I'm calling on any captains who may have had dealings in the past with an individual known as the Joker. If there are any such captains in the Congress I need your help.
The Liberty Navy has proven once and for all that Admiral David Hale has no concern whatsoever what happens to any of us. We have been ordered to deny docking rights to the Joker and all of his associates. If we don't do this we will be declared criminals in Liberty and ALL Junkers will lose the right to do honest work there.
This isn't as simple a request as it seems and the good admiral knows this. We have no alliance with the Joker. We simply put up with him because we are not equipped to be at war with him. If the Liberty Navy is not equipped to deal with him what are we supposed to do?
The Joker is a psychopath. He will terrorize us from one end of Sirius to the other and many innocent Junkers will die if we give in to the navy's request. Hale knows this all to well. He's given us the choice to either go to war with the navy or the Joker. WE ARE A NEUTRAL FACTION AND WE AREN'T EQUIPPED TO DO EITHER.
Any suggestions on how we can bring all parties to the table and resolve this issue would be appreciated.
