The Freelancer Community

[color=#663366]leave and prosper together,
do not wish to fight with fighters,
they bride and hire hunters for that,
and they own only one ship, a transport

Those Freelancers are based on Planet Manhattan. They are located on a remote island at the opposite of the planet. This island is well guarded by Bounty Hunters and Freelancers. The only ones who knows this location is the Freelancer Investors, some Bounty Hunters. They bought this remote island a long time ago for their freedom. They have been breeding a small community who got respect in each other.

The objectives of those Freelancers is to invest for some Bounty Hunters in exchange of protection. It was made because those freelancers wanted people a bit more neutral than the police to protect them. They don't have enemies at the moment. They try to stay secret. They works as freelance for their family.

A long time ago some intruders came to the Island to put disorder in the community. That's when the Freelancers decided to Invest for Bounty Hunters with the money they were making by transporting passengers, VIPs and sometimes Prisoners. They asked the Bounty Hunters to protect them in this Island. But they also needed protection in space during the travel of some transporter. So they invested in two skilled pilot, John and Sam, they wanted money to create The Bounty Hunter Legion. Those pilots had to hire another pilot too, Mike Fire. They needed another leader, so Mike became a Commander. The deal was fair. The Freelancer Investors and The Bounty Hunter Legion are still having a lot of respect in each other. Now they can do their business by travelling and enjoy their freedom on the Island.

In the beginning of their creation, The Bounty Hunter Legion was having trouble to hunt the people and to get more wingmen. Knowing that, the Freelancers decided to invest in a scientific project called "CHIMP". They managed to get the DNA from skilled Bounty Hunters in exchange of money and brought chimpanzees from the island to their laboratory. With a lot of research in genetic they mixed the DNA human to the chimpanzees. After a few days they were evolving and learning faster than a human child. They became Chimps. When they started to talk, the Freelancers contacted The Bounty Hunter Legion. John, Sam and Mike came to the island and met their new companion. They learned them to fly and fight over the island. After a few weeks those Chimps were ready to hunt. Sometimes, they behave as berserker and can take down a bounty really fast. The Freelancers and the Legion was very happy of this project and sometimes they are impressed of the behaviour of the chimps. They are still evolving and now they can control their berserks and also they became really friendly and respectful.
Maybe in Future they will become independent. Who Knows ?

Now the investor are still doing the same business to earn money and they are still protected by the bounty hunter on the island and The Bounty Hunter Legion in space. Sometimes they request escort from other clan and independent Bounty hunters. They can pay a good fee for this work

Months later, Smugglers came to the Island. They disrupted all the Hunters protecting the Island. The leader of the community Jack Hilmor came to them as a diplomat. The smugglers said they would spare their lives and the Hunters if the community leave the place.
Jack decided for the good of his people to do so. He sent a message to the Captain Jeff Willdor to help him transport all the freelancer to a new place. Captain Jeff have some zoners contact on planet Gran Canaria. They can give them a place there to live.
Jeff needed a bigger ship to transport the whole community. With the money they made during those years. He bought the Luxury Liner. It is like their home now

The Bounty Hunter Legion does not exist anymore. The remaining hunter of this guild work for themselves now.

The Exodus, Captain Jeff and crew will no longer work with the Hunters.... Even the freelancers community and the Leader Jack Hilmor is fade up with their dirty work...

//There won't be any faction request for The Freelancer community as they won't be a tag on the chars names.
It is an idea to RP my char transport. The transport or freighter will carry a freelancer ID and will travel for passengers VIPs sometimes prisoners and lawful commodities

[color=#330033]The BW Transport "Rider of the Storm"
HAS BEEN REPLACED BY A NEW SHIP
Luxury Liner

[color=#330033]The transport origin :

Captain Jeff Willdor and his crew fly the "Rider of the Storm" known as the "Series ST Border Worlds Transport". When Jeff was younger he uses to work as a freelancer for the border world export. He was escorting their freighters with his Eagle.

After many routes the Border World Export gave him one of their Border World transport and some gold as payment. He decided to go back to Planet Manhattan on the island. The community was proud of his job. So they told him to transport volunteer passengers to the Omega 15 at Rostock station. The Bounty Hunters Guild and Guard needed them for new recruit and for the way back he could load out his cargo with diamonds for Manhattan's jeweller. Jeff's wife, Lyla Flore, Vick Blaster and Ben Looter joined the crew.

On the way back to the Planet Manhattan, in Texas system, a group of pirate tried to steal the cargo. The captain and his crew managed to escape but the ship was in a bad state. After entering the atmosphere of Manhattan they had to fly to the Island. In the sky there was big black clouds. They all knew that a storm was on their way. It was noisy, violent and dark brighting... The ship had to be repaired. When it was almost at the landing area of the island a flash of lighting hurt the hull. The captain and his crew managed to keep control of the transport and they flew through the lightnings until they landed. The community was at the landing area waiting for the ship.

Once they landed with success the freelancers told the crew how lucky they were and that they should give a name to the ship. Jeff thought about "Rider of the Storm" and everybody found it nice as it is reminding this event and a very, very old tune.

[color=#330033]The story of this transport

Captain Jeff Willdor received a transmission from the leader of the community of freelancer. He told him that their base on planet Manhattan has been taken by smugglers. The Captain Jeff had to find a way to transport all the community to a new place, Planet Gran Canaria. He thought that the Luxury Liner would be perfect. Plus, during his travel he had many occasion to make money. Arrived at Manhattan, The Captain and the Freelancers named the ship Exodus. It will stay in their mind that this ship saved them from being homeless. This ship will be the home of his crew (including the families) and him.

[Image: Vick.png]

He is in charge to maintain the ship in a good state of equipment.
Everybody knows that he is from the community but they don't know much about him as he don't talk much about his life.
Vicky Blaster got his name for having a big interest in weapons for ships or hand guns.
He loves to use the transport turrets.
He is always impatient to get the order from the captain to defend the ship from criminals.
Now Vick became more confident with the main crew.
He told his deepest secret and he is now off duty on the Exodus
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[color=#330033]The New Equipment Engineer, Jeff is recruiting a new Engineer from the Freelancer community... He must return to Gran Canaria to fill the hole in the crew size

[color=#330033]The Cargo Engineer, Ben Looter

Everybody loves his food in the community.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[color=#330033]The interests of the crew

The team likes to have fun in the ship. They drink, dance and talk during the festivals. They all have a passion for music and sometimes, during their travels, they stop at some Freeport station and capitals planets to watch or invite bands on the ship. Also they like to do their job... But sometimes they worry when it comes to transfer prisoners to a prison because it gives more encounters with criminals.
Since the project chimps did not work the Captain and the crew decided to work on a pilot cyborg : Cyborg-Durango.Flore. He was once part of the Xenos guild. The Xenos captured Durango in the past as he was a good pilot. They Brainwashed him to make him a killer obeying orders to them. One day Durango ships got blon up by a officer Navy called Rick Gunner. Rick told Jeff about that and the officer brought the escape pod to Jeff. Durango is the lost brother of Lyla Flore. He was dying as his body was in a bad state. Jeff and the crew decided to upgrade his organism with machines. Durango is now half human half machine.

[color=#330033]The job

They gives travel services to civilians and VIP's. Also they can transfer prisoners for the police. The crew put the prisoners in cryogenic chambers to keep them silent. If it happens they might call The Bounty Hunter or other pilots for an escort to cover their travel. Their main trades are legal commodities like diamonds and food. Well... sometimes it happens that the crew get some synthetic marijuana for their own use. They use the powder of the pills to re-make the so called joint with tobaccos. The Captain offer escort job to any Bounty Hunter or non criminal pilots. This job is well paid.

Those were the new status. He became more cleaver with his I.A. as I see. This machine will be a good utility for my protection and for the police maybe. I hope nobody takes hand on him. It would destroy them. Fortunately nobody can access his security unless me. For that I have to access to his memory CPU.
Vick my equipment engineer told me that he might become crazy and independent.
What can I say, Vick doesn't trust any machines anyway. The only machines he trust are his transport turrets.
We will see in future what happens to Prototype.cyborg-T1.

The Exile of the Freelancer Community-First entry

(Related from the post above)

The remote Island of the community of Freelancer in Planet Manhattan far side has been invaded by smugglers and criminals. The Captain Jeff Willdor has been inform about the situation of this event by his leader freelancer Jack Hlimor. The invaders spared their life in exchange of the Island.

Jeff Willdor and his crew made new friends during their travels. Especially on planet Gran Canaria where Jeff met an old friend of him, Lethan Dorka. This man own a some lands in this planet..but.. don't use it.
So the Captain decided to contact his friend zoner. After a short chat. Lethan decided to give a part of his land to allow the freelancer community to breed, survive and prosper. Of course, There is a deal in that. The captain Jeff will have to work by transporting goods for the Zoners

Jeff and the crew worked very hard to get the money for a new ship. After a few transfer of prisoners, a few deals with goods he had enough to buy a ship.
He heard about a capital freighter, the Luxury Liner, owned by Orbita and Spa. He went to Cortez, on the planet of Orbita guild. There he sold his old BW transport and bought the liner. This ship his so big that he needs to get more crew. Fortunately there was freelancers of the community who would love to join his board.
After a long check on his new freighter, Jeff and the crew headed to the Planet Manhattan. Jack Hilmor was waiting for them at the lounge of the bar:

Jack Hilmor: I'm glad to see you Jeff. Would you like a drink ?
Jeff Willdor: Glad to see you too Jack, No I'm fine, I always have my liquor on board.
Lyla Flore Willdor: As always. The whiskey his your best friend but I hope it doesn't affect our relation of love my dear.
Jeff Willdor: Hahaha.. Don't worry my beloved, whiskey will never beat your heart as it is my passion of life.
Jack Hilmor: So I guess you have what we need.
Jeff Willdor: Is the community packed all their things...?
Jack Hilmor: Yea... Why
Jeff Willdor: Ok then call them, and come with me offside at the bay.
Jack called the community. Jeff was waiting at the bay near his ship.
Jeff Willdor: Meet our new friend, The Exodus, I gave that name.
Jack Hilmor: A luxury liner ? How did you get the money... It's a beauty.
Jeff Willdor: Glad you like it. This will be our new home and new way of getting credits.
Jack Hilmor: Well I guess we can leave the Island to the smugglers. We are all ready to board Captain.
Jeff Willdor:: Allright then Every body on board.

After a long boarding, The captain arrange a briefing to the deck. He needed 46 other crew members. All the freelancers wanted to be part of the crew. So Jeff had to choose the best skills between them. After a log preparation, the Exodus was ready to launch in space for a long trip and dangerous trip to Planet Gran Canaria....

(to be continued....)

The Exile of the Freelancer Community-Second Entry

The Exodus Launched from Planet Manhattan... Everything went very smooth. The Navy granted Captain Jeff to proceed to his destination...

A Zoner of the Jupiter Guild was in orbit of Manhattan. Captain Jeff contacted him to see if he could escort him to the Omega 49.
He answered that he was going there anyway... The Zoner lead the Exodus to destination... He knew some short cuts.... The only problem the Captain and the crew experienced was the big rocks giving the ship difficulties to be manoeuvrable....
The Zoner was getting very impatient and told him: Your a crazy person Jeff... Where did you get your license to pilot ? Jeff Answered... Dude if you think you're better pilot than me... Get on board and take commands......

Apart from that they reached the Dublin system... They had to fly by the sun... But Jeff ship had a better hull than the fighter escort... The Zoner said.. Man are you freakin' crazy... Can't you see you're to near the sun.. My hull is burning you damn fool.... Jeff answered... Oooh I'm sorry sir... I really though we were far enough of the sun.... I will pay for your repair... The Zoner... Yea... whatever.. Be careful next time...
Once the Omega jump hole reached the crew and passenger said.. This guy have some temperament Captain Jeff... we think he had a bad day... Jeff said... Yea well.. That's allright look what we got here. A Corsair Gunboat at the Jump Hole...
The zoner told Jeff to proceed to the destination while he was resolving the issue of the corsair presence near the Jump hole...

The Exodus crossed the whole system... Jack Hilmor the Leader of the community made an announcement... To all freelancer passenger... We finaly reached destination... Please have look of your new home... all the freelancers passengers where standing at the windows of the ship in their cabins... Woaa this is beautiful... We never saw that beautiful in our life.
After reaching the planet Jeff Willdor ordered a briefing to the deck... Here we are freelancers... This is your new home... The crew and myself will continue my work to supply the community... I hope you will enjoy your stay in Gran Canaria.. The freelancers answered... Thank you Captain.. this is such a nice place... Jeff... Please do not thanks me... This is Lethan Derka a zoner who gave you his lands on the planet. I hope you will prosper and make it a peaceful land... Hey here he comes on the landing bay...
Lethan.. Welcome freelancers.... Please follow me I will make a tour of the islands

Jeff initialised the landing sequences... The ship flew to the other side of the planet in the land of Jack Hilmor.. it was in a small island where they landed... All freelancer visited and they all started to un-board their stuff, and they checked all the resources they could breed on the island...

Now The crew and Jeff come back from time to time to rest, give the supply on credits and resources of terraforming...That is also here that the ship get a revision for equipment, hull end else....

Vick's secret past
Full Name: Vick Blaster - Occupation: Equipment Engineer of the Exodus Liner

While Ben Looter was revising the entire freighter, Vick Blaster, Lyla Flore Willdor, Durango Flore (cyborg) and Jeff Willdor were having a little discussion in the bar of the Exodus in orbit of Manhattan...

Jeff: So what are guys going to drink ?
Lyla: I think I'm gonna have your speciality my love... The cocktail StonerSpace
Vick: Oooh yea Rock on Baby I love that drink... make it two !
Durango: I'll just have a fresh juice without alcohol... I don't want to burn my Cybernetic....
Jeff: Glad to hear that you like my elixir....And Durango... I'll make you a nice cocktail without alcohol...

Jeff prepared the drinks with some thought in his mind....

Jeff: Tell me Vick... I know that you don't like it.... But it's now a long time that we know you.... But to be honest we don't really know you... We only know how you act in life... But What is it in your mind that keeps your past so secret ?
Lyla: Yeeeaa.. It's true... Have you done something wrong in the past ?
Durango: By the look of his face I can tell he doesn't want to talk about it...
Vick: Erm... Jeff ? is your drink ready ?

Jeff put the drinks on the bar....

Jeff: Right... they are..... here yo... (Lyla cut)
Lyla: Hold on Jeff.... You will give that drink under one condition.... Vick... You know we take care of each other here in this damn ship.... We've been in many situations all together... But still Vick.... I don't trust you.... As you are so blocked on your past dude.... What is it that keep you so close on yourself Man ?... We're are your friends... We care about you... You can tell everything to us... We won't judge you... As we all did bad actions in our lives...

At this moment Ben Looter entered the bar and heard the conversation...

Ben: Ahoy everybody so what is it you hide Vick ?
Vick: pffffff..... Al'right guys you won ! I sense that you've been preparing that interrogation.... Right... To be honest I wasn't that bad in the past.... I was just smuggling artefact, drugs, and all the crap you can imagine... I flew my old eagle in many dangerous systems to ensure the living of my wife and myself... Well that wasn't big money... But it kept us alive for those times....
Jeff: I did not knew you had a wife ? Where is she ? Secretly hidden in Gran Can..... (Vick cut)

Vick grabbed Jeff by the neck and screamed....

Vick: With all due RESPECT Captain.... Don't you EVER TALK about me wife that way.... Or you will feel my RAGE...

Durango gets to Vick and grabs him with his force...

Durango: I suggest you calm down your nerves Vick.... Jeff did not meant to hurt you...
Vick: Yeaa you're right this time toaster...(Vick never trust machines and half human-machines) I'm sorry Jeff... That's someone you can't joke about... You see I don't hide her... She... just... doesn't exist anymore... (A tear comes out his eye)
Jeff: I'm so sorry my friend... I did not knew... I'm stupid I should have think before....
Vick: That's ok... Shall I continue now that you know the beginning ?
Jeff: Sure.... Here take the drink...
Ben: Oh man I knew it ! Why you did not say before.... You know we're your friends....
Vick: I know... Thanks guys... You gave me reason to live again by protecting this community... anyway...
One day my wife Isabella Dos Santos... She was an ex Outcast... ask me if she could come in my travels... You see I travelled many times and we were missing each other.... So I did not refuse as my sentiment couldn't... So we smuggled together in dangerous zones.... We went to Omicron Gamma to take the artefacts for cheap credits... You see I know friend in liberty that buy them at high price... We needed the damn cash... At destination we dealt with a corsair... Then we launched from Crete... And there was another smuggler dealing more artefacts.... He asked us if we'd like to join formation as he knew short cuts to get to Liberty in short time... Also we had no choice as we had just enough H-Fuel for this trip... In gamma we had to pass a strange nebula.... Then we reached the unknown for both of us... The smuggler told that was the System Kappa... He told to be careful of the autonomous... We've travelled near a planet when suddenly loads of you know what....
Jeff: mmm Those freakin' aliens right ?
Vick: yea.... They engaged all of us.... I had to fight for our lives.... Maaan they are so strong... We had to eject in each of our pods... It was weird.. because the nomads stopped to fire and came close to Isabella's pod... I contacted the smuggler to tractor us right away...but as he reached us, the nomads captured my wife's pod.... It was too late I couldn't save her with that freakin' transport of the smuggler.... I can still hear my wife's screams in my head....erm...(He became silent for 10 second).... Sorry.... As I entered the transport cockpit the smuggler said "I'm sorry dude. It's my fault I should have warn you and stay close to you...." At this moment I had all the rage you can't imagine of.... I grabbed my blaster and pointed it at the smuggler's head.... I can hear him begging for his life.... I shot him down and took control of his crew and ship... Then I headed back in gamma and took a safer way to Liberty... I will always have the regrets to... not being able to.... protect my wife.... I'm sure those frekin' grubs took control of Isabella... I would rather think that she's dead....

The bar became silent... Their was only the ship's engines on standing by.... No one knew what to say....

Vick: guys.... are you still alive....
Lyla: This is terrifying.... I heard about those aliens.... But never in that way.... All the other peoples talks lies.... Especially the LSF and LN...
Jeff: It is indeed a sad story my friend... I don't know what to say...
Vick: There is nothing to say unless... All I want now... Is to exterminate those Nomads... if they continue the whole Sirius will become corrupted....
Ben: I hope it won't happened....
Durango: I have data about those nomads.... In my discoveries, I went to this system called Kappa... I have seen the alien and terminated some of them... But more interesting... I managed to get my way trough a system owned by The Order... There I have met an Order pilot that told me to leave right away... For my own data I asked him before what is the purpose of the order... He answered that they are here to protect Sirius against the Nomad Threat...
Jeff: The Order.... mmm I've heard of them... I know that they are enemies of the Liberty authorities... A Navy Lieutenant called Rick Gunner told me about The Order too... not much that I could retrieved from him though...
What I don't understand is... Why are they fighting against each other..... I mean they have both one same goal....Terminate the Nomads... Those stupid politics... They should all join forces to fight the aliens...
Lyla: Yeeea you know... I don't really trust the Liberty anyway and all the other houses... Maybe The Order got the same feelings as me...
Vick Ben Durango and Jeff: AND US !
Vick: You know sometimes I wish to go back there.... To the kappa... To avenge my loss... But on my own... I'll just become a puppet of the nomads....
Jeff: Maybe we should visit The Order sometimes....
Lyla: I don't feel really up to get in those systems but... Why not... we could be able to help them....
Vick: I wish I was fighting with them... Maybe my wife would be still here....
Jeff: Vick again I'm sorry... And I thank you to release your deepest secrets... It's good to see you still have something in your head than all your weapons...
Vick: Heck.... Those guns can be useful sometimes...

Jeff grabbed is device to send a transmission to the whole crew....

Jeff: Listen up all... Captain Willdor speakin'... I ask all of you to get a good rest on Manhattan... You'll need it.... Soon we will head to the Theta... Then we will improvise what to do... That is all.... Enjoy your journey on the planet...

First contact with The Order

The 46 Freelancers crew men came to the landing bay, near the Exodus... They all reported their availabilities to the Captain Jeff Willdor... They packed up everything and started to verify the ship status...while Captain Jeff Willdor, Lyla Flore, Ben Looter and Vick Blaster were having a discussion to the local bar...

Jeff: Vick, your ship is at the Freeport 9 right ?
Vick: Yea before I joined the freelancer community I left it there and boarder myself on Jack Hilmors Transport... He took me to the ex Island of Manhattan... Then we met together... And you know... I am not a person that can stay long on a Planet... You remember....? I get sick on Planets...
Lyla: Yea i remember that you fell in coma... So we took you on the ex BW transport Rider.of.the.Storm... Then you just woke up as we passed the atmosphere of Manhattan...
Ben: This is weird... In general people get sick in space... But on a planet... What about station base ?
Vick: Stations are fine.... It is just the Planet.... Anyway when I left my Eagle... i had to sell almost all my guns and equipment... I needed cash..again... But I kept a couple of the best guns i had... The codename Onyx that i found in the past on someone wreck... Now i think I'll have to bride the Hunters to get me some good gear at the Omega 15 and 56... if they get bad I'll use my blasters...
I don't ant their guns... Just the thrusters, shields...
Jeff:You better be careful buddy...
Vick:: Don't worry... You know my blasters never failed me ! Apart from that.... From where are we going to get to the Theta ?
Jeff: Durango Flore (the cyborg bro' of Lyla) gave me some info of his travels... *whispering* He got me the coordinate to Alaska... It'd get us to the Theta faster... He said we must be careful as there is those nomads patrols... Also be careful guys... The navy and LSF are in the bar... This zone we're headin' to is highly restricted.... But you know maybe... we will meet Order Pilots in the next systems...
Lyla: I don't really like this idea Jeff... we may get in trouble... But heck... I trust you lov'
Ben: I'm all with ya too Jeff...
Vick: Whispering It would be great if we get a first contact with the Order.... I can't wait to see them... I think we should not tell the rest of the crew our plan to get to Theta...
Jeff: Yeah... You're right Vick... We won't tell them... That might scare them off... (at this moment the watch of Jeff gets a signal... it is from Durango Flore) *whispering* Ok guys drink up... Durango biped me... It means that the way to Alaska is clear.... Let's get the heck out and don't look to suspicious... The navy men are watchin' us... and talkin'....

The four companions headed to the Exodus... Everything went smoothly... They launched... Reached the restricted zone and entered Alaska... in the long range scan... Jeff detected ships in the next system...
After Jumping into the Omicron Minor.... An Order battleship on the name of Defiance was waiting for them...
Jeff explained the reason of their intrusion... He allowed Vick to talk with the Commander of the ship.... He explained all his intentions and even proposed his help for the order.... The Black Squadron did not really interfered in the discussion... But the commander of Defiance was listening... He told Vick that he would be glad to help him in his trainings to become a Nomad Hunter... Also Jeff explained that Vick have too do some work in Theta for his eagle... The Defiance's Commander even offered an escort until the Freeport 9... The four companions were very glad of this...
Now Vick left the his work on the Exodus and he's preparing his Eagle for another contact with The Order....
