Alright... seems the uplink's working.
Hi. My name's Stan Sullivan, heard about you, and, let's say...I'm interested.
So, you want to know something about me? I guess so, ... let me tell you a little story.
One grows up, goes to school, looks forward to becoming a captain of a great ship, fight heroicly, rise to be
a well known hero or such, but ... that's just far from the harsh reality in the end, as we all know, heh?!
Father was working on Baltimore, assembling ship components, Mother's looking after her children. All
seeming quite good for a small family of four. But then, life changes. The father loses his job, leaves the
family to work on Pittsburgh - and never be seen again, Mother got to work in bar and leave her children on
their own mostly, just to survive...
But you grow up one day. You want to take it all in your own hands. Join the Liberty Navy, they said. Heh,
two years with a bunch of those idiots, just to get thrown out for some crap. No idea what drove me to
joining them, must've been drunk out of my mind, who knows. Other jobs? None around. At least not for
"long enough", not for me.
And then it happens ... desperatly you try to survive, try to make a living ... by taking from those who took
from you, in one way or another. You end up in prison. For a little thing, a little "mistake". Once ... then
twice. Huntsville and Sugarland are really nice places to get a new insight in how Liberty works.
So. What now? I'm 24, got nothing left but the will to do things a bit ... differently. A bit more, well, radical...
