Baseball Bat

## Stats

140 Base Damage, 120 RPM(the lowest out of all weapons), 30% Stun Chance (the Stun effect is often quick to wear out and thus not ideal for a weapon and the percentage applies per hit) and an extra 5% Movement Speed.

## Strategy

The Baseball Bat is a horrible melee weapon to be using due to its disgustingly low RPM and despite the fact that it applies the Stun status effect. Stun only lasts for several seconds and is very ineffective in close quarters. Generally, it is better to wield a Katana. Nevertheless, as a weapon that has a higher Base Damage than most other melee weapons. It is still better to use a Baseball Bat than Fists or Knuckle Dusters when in close quarters against Enemies, just not Others.

HotFix 1.4.5

POSTED Fri, January 27, 2023

Hello citizens!

With this hotfix, we fixed some bugs and introduced QOL improvements.

Also, We are aware of a problem causing players to be stuck in the "connection in progress" after log-in.
You can try to fix it by verifying the game files on the Epic Games library!

- Fixed bug preventing the player from completing the tutorial after handing over the golden object to Octave.
- Fixed the primary interaction of ON lights after getting placed inside the hub, making the player interact with them twice in order to shut them off.
- Fixed bot spawns that caused some performance losses under certain circumstances.
- Improved the pocket user experience.
- Fixed bug preventing the Catalogue of Junk from updating if the object was placed in the pocket
Vengeful Thing

The Vengeful Thing is one of the many Enemies found in Hell Is Others.

> "Relentlessly stalks its prey, not stopping until it has tasted blood. The only way to stop it is to kill it. But after it dies it's even more dangerous than before."
>
> In-Game Description

## Strategy

The Vengeful Thing is a creature that accelerates upon noticing a player's presence. Upon it's death, the Vengeful Thing will leave behind it's corpse and explode. Although it will not deal fatal explosive damage to players above 500 Health it is advised to be cautious when engaging. (Tip: In the case of shooting, it is best to shoot from a safe distance. In the case of close quarters, upon dealing the final blow, it is ideal to run as far away from the explosion range as possible to avoid taking damage).

## Drops

The Vengeful Thing will always drop a primary drop being the Average Heart and possibly one of the three secondary drops in its loot pool. Each of these has the same odds to drop though getting a second drop is not always guaranteed.

Fin
Oftatus
The Desperate Adam

**The Desperate Adam** is the 5th and final art reward for completing the in-game prestige system in *Hell Is Others*. It is a large 8x10 artwork/Imago that, when placed in Adam's apartment, provides Adam with a +186 reload speed buff for all shotguns.

Like all prestige artwork rewards, **The Desperate Adam** can be claimed outside of Adam's apartment door after completing the in-game tutorial scene with Octave.
Johnny (Supermarket)

Johnny is one of the many Characters found in Hell Is Others and runs the Supermarket where you can buy nonperishable food and deodorants.

## Location

Johnny can be found all the way to the right of Venture Boulevard just above the Police Station as indicated by the food can symbol on the map.

## Quests

Conveniece Store Nightmares
 Act II
Lady Saunders

Lady Saunders, highest rate of fire. Its appearance may be based on the Uzi submachinegun.

## Tips

This gun makes up for the low damage with its insane RPM. With its low recoil, most close quarters encounters are in your favor. If at low health, this gun also works well as a defensive weapon.

\*Editor's note, this is my favorite gun to use while making runs in the city.\*
Fists

Adam's fists. Weapon of last resort, and a speed buff for those who need it.

## Stats

50 Flat Damage (lowest out of all melee weapons), 210 RPM (lower than Rosebud), 5% Critical Damage Chance (Crits deal double damage).

Most importantly: +10% Movement Speed

## Tips for new players

If speed is of the essence, equip your fists for the speed boost. This can help you escape from Things (along with breaking line of sight) and gaining distance from Others who are chasing you. However, keep in mind the possibility for running straight into an Other, who will probably have a gun out.

While the fists are not a particularly good weapon, they shouldn't be neglected for finishing off a badly injured Thing (or even an Other, in a severe pinch). You can kill a Hiding Thing with fists while using no ammo and taking no return damage. They also count as a melee weapon for Octave's Elimination Quests.

Punching a window will cause 15 damage to you. While this is better than the 50 you would take for jumping through, it's better to use Miss Rosebud or a proper melee weapon.
Mini Fridge

The mini fridge is the most basic fridge in Hell is Others. It uses 5x4 space in the apartment and gives two slots of space. The fridge preserves items that would otherwise perish after a rest.

## Obtaining

* The player is given a Mini Fridge after completing Huxley's "If it ain't broke.." Act 1 mission
* The Mini Fridge can also be bought from Huxley for 108100 creeds

## Bonus

* Each Mini Fridge gives +9 pistol reload speed when places in the apartment
LPI-MHT-Rumor7

*The Xenos don't usually mess with Liberty shipping, but that all changes when it comes to Side Arms. The Xenos love stealing guns, they've been concentrating attacks on the Detroit Munitions Plant for some time now. Ageira is guarding the plant better, so now they're focusing on the Trade Lane between here and Detroit.* - Liberty Police, Inc. **Rumor**, Planet Manhattan
Knuckle Dusters

## Stats

70 Base Damage, 210 RPM (same as Fists), 30% Critical Damage Chance and an extra 10% Movement Speed.

## Strategy

The Knuckle Dusters is not a great melee weapon, but it is slightly better than the Baseball Bat. It is inferior to the Katana in combat. A decently reliable weapon to carry in your inventory for new players.
Isolde

She takes care of the Administrator's house while he's away. She's incredibly worried about the Administrator's Bonsai alleged stealing.
She's kind and understanding, even if dull and law-abiding, like all the other rubbits.

After reaching credit level 7 and speaking with Isolde, Adam is given a quest to purchase the bonsai. This is part of the prestige system, so if you don't intend to prestige, you don't need to spend the creeds to advance this quest.
Elimination Quests

Display of Ability quests are given by Octave in the hallway. Whenever he wants to give you a quest, the outline of his sprite will glow yellow. You will be given a task to eliminate certain enemies (Things or Others). Sometimes you will have to use a choosen weapon type and sometimes you will also have to use Modified Bullets. If the quest wants you to kill a certain Thing, then it doesn't matter if you kill its weaker or harder (plus) version. You DON'T have to kill the Thing or Other ONLY with the given weapon/bullet type, only the last damage that kills the enemy counts towards the objective (for example: you can damage the Crawling Thing in Act VII with a Small Calibre weapon with normal Wild Bullets and finish it of with a Large Calibre weapon with Modified Bullets and it will still count; it wouldn't work the other way around). Also note that if your target dies of bleed that was inflicted by the correct weapon it will also count towards the objective.
Bone

Bone is a fertilizer used to modify bullets being grown in a pot. Each Bone adds 1 fragment, reduces range by 4% and adds a cost of 60 blood per day to farm. Each fragment cause your fired bullets to split into pieces, with the total damage of the shot being divided equally among them. Bones may be stacked up to 5 in the inventory.

Bone drops from both variants of Sweeping Thing.

## Bone Powder

Bone oil is a refined version of the Bone which doesn't reduce range but its cost is increased to 120 blood to farm.

## Trivia

* Like other fertilizers, these may be found frequently in the display cases at Saraswati Hall in the NW corner of the Map.
* While damage may be divided among all fragments, effect chance is not. Each fragment has his own chance to proc effects.
Tentacle

Tentacle is a fertilizer used to modify bullets being grown in a pot. Each Tentacle adds 7% range, reduces bullet speed by 5% and adds a cost of 60 blood per day to farm. Tentacles may be stacked up to 5 in the inventory.

Tentacle drops from both variants of Haunting Thing and Crawling Thing.

## Tentacle Oil

Tentacle oil is a refined version of the Tentacle which doesn't reduce bullet speed but its cost is increased to 110 blood to farm.

## Trivia

* Like other fertilizers, these may be found frequently in the display cases at Saraswati Hall in the NW corner of the Map.
Premium Medkit

The Premium Medkit is an amazing healing item. Using it will heal Adam for a total of 1500 health(max possible health with vitality). Like every other Medicine, using the Premium Medkit does not contribute to Adam's Satiety Bar. As a Cicatrisant, using the Premium Medkit will remove the Bleeding status effect.
Sir Morris

Sir Morris is a slow-firing revolver with high range and damage.

## Tips

Sir Morris is best treated as a semiautomatic sniper rifle. Its high damage and long range make it perfect for efficiently killing Things or finishing off an Other who is trying to flee, but the high recoil, low RPM, and awkward revolver reload makes it poor at exchanging fire face-to-face with an Other. Aside from the revolver reload, its stats are very similar to those of Miss Payne.
Lady Butler

The Lady Butler has the highest damage and smallest magazine size out of all the Sub Machine Guns. Its appearance may be based on the Star Model Z62.

## Tips

The green version of this is a pretty solid gun that can one clip Others who are not boosted with Vitality. 1300 Damage using the base version and only wild bullets is quite good for playing defensively. Just make sure to hit all your shots.

## Extra

Thank you AgeingPersuasion for the stats of Purple Butler.
Haunting Thing

The Haunting Thing is one of the many Enemies found in Hell Is Others. Has a + verison.

> "As small as it is insatiable. It torments its prey by nibbling at its flesh. Killing them is like eating candy: one pulls the other."
>
> In-Game Description

## Strategy

Due to its low Health and minimal damage, a single clip of the Mrs. Rosebud is more than sufficient to kill it. If it becomes aggravated against you run a safe distance away and line up your shots. Keep in mind its small size and quick speed that may catch some off guard.

Because its move speed is significantly faster than Adam's walk speed, it can be difficult to avoid taking return damage when fighting it with melee weapons. Dodge rolling away after each swing can keep you safe with the correct timing. Bonus move speed and the extra range of the Baseball Bat or Katana are commended.

The Haunting Thing is easy to run away from, so if you're low on ammo, it's wise not to waste it on killing The Haunting Thing unless it's important.

## Drops

The Haunting Thing will always drop a primary drop being the Tiny Heart and possibly one of the three secondary drops in its loot pool. Each of these has the same odds to drop though getting a second drop is not always guaranteed.
Otis (Bank)

Otis is one of the many Characters found in Hell Is Others and runs the Bank where you can deposit and withdraw your money.

## Location

Otis can be found on the left site of Hurray Prospect just above and to the left of Million Bridge as indicated by the bank symbol (looks like a black triangle on top of three pillars) on the map. He is in the same building with Caspar who is a few meters to the north.

## Quests

 Act II
 Act III
Water

**Water** is essential to human life in Sirius.

## Description

Dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) is odorless, tasteless, transparent, and absolutely essential to human life. Roughly 75% of the human body is composed of Water. Deprived of Water, most humans can only live three days. THe process of dehydration is a painful one, as tissues shrivel and vessels shrink in a desperate bid by the dying body to preserve its remaining vital functions.
DSE-MHT-Rumor1

*DSE is an important part of the machinery of Liberty power in Sirius, so you will see that we have adequate protection within her space. Unfortunately, many of our Trade Lane and Jump Gate construction projects are far outside the safety of Liberty, where our affairs can often fall victim to pirates and vandals.* - Deep Space Engineering **Rumor**, Planet Manhattan
Million credits

A recurring theme in the Freelancer universe. References to one million credits include:

* Edison Trent's "deal of a lifetime" in selling a cargo load of Boron that he acquired from a shady Republican Shipping captain, for which Trent would receive a million credits.
* The ransom demanded by the Liberty Rogues in exhcnage for releasing kidnapped Sculptor John Frankel.

## References

1. ↑ *It's been six weeks since my last entry. Unfortunately, I couldn't find out anything about alien ruins or uncharted systems. Very frustrating. The only thing I've heard was that there's been sightings of strange ships out near Sigma 17. Who knows. The good news is that I've managed to hook up with a captain of a Republican Shipping convoy. He's transporting a large shipment of Boron from Mainz to Honshu, but wants to keep the profits for himself. We agreed to meet on Kurile tomorrow. We'll see, maybe luck is on my side this time.* - Edison Trent, Neural Net Log Entry #3
2. ↑ *Well, I did the deal. I'm now the proud owner of over a ton of Boron. I put all my savings into this deal. It's not entirely legal, but here in the Borderworlds, nobody really pays too much attention to this.

He says his clients might be interested in the shipment.* - Edison Trent, Neural Net Log Entry #4

MANHATTAN - In one of their boldest moves yet, the Liberty Rogues have kidnapped famous Sculptor John Frankel. He was discovered missing from his apartment two days ago. This afternoon, a ransom demand was received from his captors insisting that a **million credits** be left within the Pittsburgh Debris Field at a specific location, whereupon he would be released. Frankel's family fears that the Rogues may kill him even if they do pay the ransom.

**Be My Lover, Be My Beast** is a newbie story event of Ikemen Prince, appeared when the user log in the game for the first time. The event has 2 parts, the user can only play part 2 after 14 days since the day they enter part 1.

## Routes

### Leon's Route

Leon says that he'll pretend to be my lover. I couldn't ask for a better person to be my partner in crime... so why does it hurt when I remeber this is all an act?

"I told you that I wanted to snag you."

But as we spend the night alone together...

*"I want to get to know you better. Not as a prince, but as an ordinary man."* | I decide to continue pretending to date Leon.
*"I really just might have to make you my lover. How about it?"*

Will I be able to handle his sweet seduction?* **Premium End Bonus:** Navy Bow With A Rose

### Yves's Route

I asked Yves to be my pretend lover. He refuses at first, but little did I know of his reasons.

"You've done nothing wrong. It's just..."

 I stared into the eyes of the kind prince as he whispered-

*"I... can't just let you go."* | I find out why Yves wanted to stop pretending to be lovers.
"I want to express my deepest gratitude to my lover for the day."

The capricious prince steals my heart.* **Premium End Bonus:** Golden Handheld Mirror

### Licht's Route

I ask Licht to act as my lover, and he agrees, with a condition. The closer we become, the darker the shadow in his crisom eyes seem get.

"You're a strange woman if this makes you happy."

### Jin's Route

Jin offers to become my lover for a day. So why does it seem like the more I get to know him, the more distance he puts between us?

"Now, shall we savor the taboo pleasure?"

### Sariel's Route

Sariel ends up being my pretend lover! A sweet reward from the devil awaits if I can be follow his orders.

"Since I'm now both your boss and your lover, I want you to get to know me better."

*"I enjoy the way it shows that you belong to me."* | The man who saved me so gallantly was my lover for the day.
"Indeed. I'll grant whatever you desire"

His eyes glint dangerously.* **Premium End Bonus:** Navy Slit Skirt

****Cutscene**: Liberty News on the arrival of Freeport 7 Survivors to Manhattan**

* *"President Jacobi has asked the LSF to investigate the sudden destruction of Freeport 7. No word yet on whether it was accidental or a deliberate attack. The first handful of survivors arrived on Manhattan this morning."*
* *"Officially, the Liberty Security Force maintains there is no proof Freeport 7's destruction was deliberate. But sources inside the LSF suspect a dangerous criminal organization, The Order. We will keep you up to date as this story develops."*
NSL002

****Storyline News Report**: Rheinland Admiral in Manhattan**

Rheinland Admiral Otto Schultzky arrives in Manhattan today to meet with President Jacobi. Though they plan to discuss a new trade proposal, the President says that a heightened cooperative security measure will be on their agenda as well in light of the recent Freeport 7 tragedy. The admiral's flagship, the RNC Donau, will arrive in Manhattan today under heavy guard.

****Cutscene**: Trent Walks into the Manhattan Bar**

* Trent: A Sidewinder Fang.
* Manhattan Bartender: All we have is Liberty Ale, friend.
* Trent: Fine.
* Manhattan Bartender: Her name is Jun'ko Zane. She's a tough one.
* Trent: Oh? Why's that?
* Manhattan Bartender: She's LSF: all business - if it's a job you're wanting, that is. On the other hand, if you're looking for something more...
* Trent: Well, the only thing I'm looking for right now is this drink.
Ageira-MHT-Rumor1

*We ship Side Arms here to Manhattan from Detroit, our munitions plant that serves all of Liberty and much of Kusari and Bretonia. We don't usually ship Detroit weaponry to Rheinland because they produce their own, but it doesn't compare with Detroit Deathware.* - Ageira Technologies **Rumor**, Planet Manhattan
Boron

**Boron** is a basic industrial commodity in Sirius.

## Description

Boron is an essential element in a number of industrial processes. In its fibrous form, Boron filaments are used as a stiffener in the creation of Ship Hull Panels, lending them unparalleled structural integrity. An isotope of Boron, Boron-10, is also used for control rods in the nuclear reactors that power large ships, stations, and planetside bases.

## Storyline

Freelancer Edison Trent arranged to buy a large cargo of Boron from a Republican Shipping captain in the Sigma Systems. The captain was transporting the Boron from Mainz to Honshu, and they agreed to meet on Kurile to complete the deal.

## References

1. ↑ *It's been six weeks since my last entry. Unfortunately, I couldn't find out anything about alien ruins or uncharted systems. Very frustrating. The only thing I've heard was that there's been sightings of strange ships out near Sigma 17. Who knows. The good news is that I've managed to hook up with a captain of a Republican Shipping convoy.

We'll see, maybe luck is on my side this time.* - Edison Trent, Neural Net Log Entry #3
Sir Armstrong

Sir Armstrong, the hand cannon with only one bullet.

## Tips

The Sir Armstrong can be thought of as a poor man's sniper rifle (specifically, the Dr Fisher). With superb range and damage per shot, it's very efficient at killing Things, and can potentially wear down Others with hit-and-run attacks.

However, when compared from the other direction, its damage and range are only slightly higher than those of Miss Payne or Sir Morris, while having only one bullet per magazine and an ordinary zoom level (unlike Dr Fisher). Aside from its excellent ammo efficiency, there is no particular reason to prefer using this over most other weapons.

## Extra

Thank you to AgeingPersuasion for the stats of Sir Armstrong.

Mainz

## Storyline

Republican Shipping transports Boron from Mainz to Honshu. One of their captains leading a convoy was corrupt and wanted to keep the profits for himself, so he arranged a deal with Edison Trent to sell him the Boron instead.

## References

1. ↑ *It's been six weeks since my last entry. Unfortunately, I couldn't find out anything about alien ruins or uncharted systems. Very frustrating.

RSL009

*A lot of people say that The Order was behind the attack on Freeport 7. Makes perfect sense to me! That guy Orillion and his thugs are bent on destroying the peace in the colonies. Blowing up a neutral station run by the Zoners was a clever move. Now each House will blame the other for the incident.* - **Storyline Rumor**, occurs between arrival on Manhattan and the destruction of the RNC Donau
NN06

*I still can't quite believe it. Lonnigan and I had just signed the deal when the attack occurred. We barely made it out alive. From the time the alert started, we only had a few moments before the station blew up. Hundreds of people weren't so lucky. I actually had to carry Lonnigan to the life pod because a bulkhead collapsed during the attack and hit him in the head. He's been unconscious ever since. The medics assure me that he'll recover. I certainly hope so. We're currently on a rescue ship enroute to Manhattan but things aren't looking so good. I lost my ship and my ore shipment blew up with the rest of the station. All I have left is 500 credits. That wouldn't even buy me a ticket back to Leeds on a waste disposal freighter.* - Edison Trent, **Neural Net Log Entry #6**
Rheinland

## Background

One of the four Houses in the Sirius Sector.

## Economy

Over the past few years, Rheinland has been going through an economic crisis causing many citizens with the means to do so to flee to Liberty. In a parallel development, a rise in uncontrolled crime has in many cases been the straw that broke the camel's back in immigrants' decisions to leave Rheinland.

Of note, Rheinland does produce its own Side Arms but they are said to be of lower quality than those produced by Liberty's Ageira Technologies.

## Characters

### Minor Characters

* Gerhardt Schliefner (Expat from Stuttgart, immigrant to Liberty)

## References

1. ↑ **Routine News Report: **Rheinland** Expats Flock to Manhattan**
Reported on Planet Manhattan

MANHATTAN - **Rheinland** high society is on the move, and Manhattan is the destination of choice. With the economic woes that **Rheinland** has been experiencing in recent years, many of the colony's finest families are relocating to the center of Sirius. *"I can live the life I wish to lead more easily here - it's a shame, but true."* said Gerhardt Schliefner, a newcomer from Stuttgart. Immigrants most commonly cited the uncontrolled crime wave in **Rheinland** as their primary reason for leaving.
2. ↑ *We ship Side Arms here to Manhattan from Detroit, our munitions plant that serves all of Liberty and much of Kusari and Bretonia.

Detroit Munitions Plant

## Background

An Ageira manufacturing facility in the New York System that produces Side Arms among other products. It has come under attack from Xenos due to how much they covet weapons, leading Ageira to increase protection at the plant itself. The trade lane leading to and from the plant, however, remains vulnerable.

## References

Consumer Goods

## Description

Once the basic necessities of survival have been met, most human beings look for ways to improve their life or to entertain themselves along the way. Consumer Goods satisfy these needs and include a broad range of relatively inexpensive bulk items such as clothing, toiletries, housewares, and Consumer Optronics. While most Consumer Goods are mass-produced in automated factories, the ongoing rise in the prison population within the colonies has yielded a cheap labor force that many governments have turned to for handmade goods.

## Additional Information

The Liberty Police, Inc. use their prison populations on Sugarland and Huntsville to produce a variety of goods with cheap labor, to include Consumer Goods.

## References

****Storyline News Report**: Arrival of Freeport 7 Survivors**

Just moments ago, the survivors of the Freeport 7 disaster arrived here in Manhattan. After two days of intense travel, several of the survivors required immediate medical attention. Requests by the LSF to conduct interviews concerning the attack have been declined by the medical commissioner. Meanwhile, the official death toll has risen to 2,600, making it the most devastating disaster in recent history.
Tobias

Protagonist Edison Trent worked for Tobias on Planet Leeds.

## Background

Tobias works on Planet Leeds and runs a business fixing other people's space ships. Protagonist Edison Trent worked for him for a long time before finally deciding to try his fortune in the Border Worlds. Tobias cautioned him against leaving his steady work for the illusion of fame and fortune, but Trent decided to leave anyways.  Tobias has traveled around the Sirius Sector and told Trent about Planet Manhattan and how it was a single giant city that covered almost the entire planet.

## References

1. ↑ *I've finally decided to leave Bretonia to try my luck in the Borderworlds. Despite what **Tobias** says, I can't sit around Leeds for the rest of my life and fix up other people's ships while more and more alien ruins are being discovered. They say that only 11 percent of the Borderworlds have been charted yet and hundreds of unknown planets are awaiting discovery. I'm starting this personal Neural Net Log to keep track of my travels and adventures.* - Edison Trent, Neural Net Log Entry #1
2. ↑ *Well, after several days of travel, we finally arrived on Manhattan. It was about time, the rescue ship was everything but a pleasant experience. The other eight survivors simply wouldn't stop talking about what had happened on Freeport 7. Speculations were running wild, and just about everybody was accused at one point or another. Some were convinced Chancellor Niemann was behind the attack, and others accused Governor Tekagi. A Kruger rep assured me that Samura was the only possible group that had an interest in destroying Freeport 7. After a whole lot of useless debate, the majority seemed to agree in the end that The Order was behind it. Anyway, I have to say Manhattan is everything that **Tobias** made it out to be: a single giant city that covers almost the entire planet. They say that over 220 million people live here - unbelievable. The medics just took Lonnigan to intensive care in Medical. They said it'll take a while until he's released. No matter how long it takes, I'll stay in Manhattan until he recovers. After all, we had signed the deal already. In the meantime, I should find a job. My 500 credits won't last long. Maybe there is someone in the bar who could give me a lead.* - Edison Trent, Neural Net Log Entry #7
RSL008

*The market took a pretty big hit today. Confidence in security is at an all-time low. You know, not that I condone profiting from others' misfortunes, but a guy like you might want to seize this opportunity. You could do pretty well out there. There are companies and individuals just looking for the right kind of help.* - **Storyline Rumor**, occurs between arrival on Manhattan and the destruction of the RNC Donau

****Cutscene**: Trent Meets Juni**

* Trent: Sorry, the bartender said you work for the Liberty Security Force.
* Juni: And who do you work for, Mr...
* Trent: Trent. I work for myself.
* Juni: What kind of ship do you have?
* Trent: I lost mine... on Freeport 7.
* Juni: I see. Are you staying in Liberty long?
* Trent: I've got a friend who was injured in the attack. He's in Medical. I'll be staying at least until he's released.
* Juni: Well as it happens I could use a good freelancer, Mr. Trent. I'll be in the equipment room later. You can meet me there. Oh, and if we are gonna work together, call me Juni.
News004

****Routine News Report**: Squatters Appeal to Government**

Reported on Planet Manhattan

DENVER - A coalition of impoverished Colorado residents made an appeal to the Liberty government today, presenting a message entitled: "Being poor is not illegal." The prepared statement was addressed to the legislature in Manhattan and summarized a list of the grievances that many long-time Colorado residents held. They cited numerous examples of revised zoning laws that forced them to abandon their homes for temporary encampments scattered in the hills. There they faced harassment by LPI "squatter" patrols. There's been no official acknowledgement from New York
SA14

SA14 is a Samura Heavy Industries transport that departed Freeport 7 minutes before it was destroyed. As it was leaving, long range scanners picked up unknown ships leading Freeport 7 to dispatch a wing of three fighters to escort it out of the system. Samura conducts regular transport runs to Freeport 7 with the round trip for SA14 taking two weeks. Apparently, SA14 was enroute to Manhattan - either that, or the pilot redirected the transport there after the Destruction of Freeport 7.

Manhattan Bartender

## Storyline

The head bartender on Planet Manhattan. He is only seen during storyline cutscenes and is shown taking over from the usual bartender at the front just as Edison Trent walks into the bar for the first time. Trent is looking for a job and asks for a Sidewinder Fang. The bartender informs him, however, that they only serve Liberty Ale. He points out Jun'ko Zane and suggests that Trent might want to talk to her if he's looking for a job.

After a moment, he recognizes that Trent is one of the Freeport 7 Survivors and offers him some better stuff that he has hidden, on the house. He says that this is an opportunty for Trent to start again, and he toasts him wishing him good fortune in Liberty.

Michael King

## Storyline

Michael King is the commanding officer of the first job Edison Trent takes for the LSF. This is an escort mission for a convoy of food and medical supplies from Fort Bush to Planet Pittsburgh.  He is considered to be one of the best pilots the LSF has and those that fly with him as wingman are considered lucky.

Juni and King came up with the idea behind the escort mission from Fort Bush to Planet Pittsburgh.

LSF-MHT-Rumor3

*The LSF has been commissioned with confiscating all Alien Artifacts in Sirius. Not all the other Houses are as cooperative as they should be, so sometimes we are forced to take unilateral action. Kusari officials have been particularly lax in their enforcement of the ban.* - Liberty Security Force **Rumor**, Planet Manhattan
Tooth

Tooth is a fertilizer used to modify bullets being grown in a pot. Each Tooth adds 4% damage, reduces range by 3.5% and adds a cost of 50 blood per day to farm. Teeth may be stacked up to 5 in the inventory.

   Tooth drops from both variants of Wedging Thing and Hiding Thing.

## Tooth Powder

Tooth powder is a refined version of the Tooth which doesn't reduce range but its cost is increased to 100 blood to farm.

## Trivia

* Like other fertilizers, these may be found frequently in the display cases at Saraswati Hall in the NW corner of the Map.

*I looked up Juni in the equipment room. She offered me an old and pretty crappy ship and a few thousand credits if I help escort a convoy of Food and medical supplies. Right now, I'm not really interested, but she said the offer would still stand if I come back later. She was certainly not pleased that I turned her down and told me that she's my best chance for getting a ship. She could well be right. We'll see.* -Edison Trent, **Neural Net Log Entry #10**

Planet Pittsburgh

## Background

A Liberty mining colony in the New York system.

## Storyline

Edison Trent's first mission working for the LSF involved escorting a convoy of food and medical supplies from Fort Bush to Planet Pittsburgh.

**Mission 1: Convoy Escort**

	* **Objective:** Escort a convoy of food and medical supplies from Fort Bush to the mining colony on **Planet Pittsburgh**. The mission's commanding officer, Michael King, is waiting to rendezvous in space near the Manhattan docking ring.
	* **Difficulty:** LSF Intel has classified this mission as low-risk. Pirate attacks are considered possible.
	* **Reward:** 2000 credits
## Background

This mission was part of a scheme that Jun'ko Zane and Michael King came up with. Juni had been trying to find a pilot to take the escort mission but found few takers until she came upon Edison Trent who was recently destitute after the Destruction of Freeport 7 and looking for a ship and a job.

*After two weeks of travel, I finally managed to get to the Sigma system cluster. The trip through the Independent Worlds turned out to be much more dangerous than I thought. I was lucky several times that police patrols happened to be in the area when pirates wanted to blast me out of the stars. Anyway, word has it that there are a number of uncharted systems in this area of space. I will try to find out more information.* - Edison Trent, **Neural Net Log Entry #2**

*It may not be the best move for Liberty to send troops into Sigma even just to guard the Freeport 7 wreck. Despite our best intentions, not everyone believes Liberty means well - especially those who enjoy their privacy - like the Zoners. Meanwhile, enough people from every House died on Freeport 7 that whoever did do this is likely to be hunted down and killed before they can be tried. No place will be safe for them to hide in the colonies. And if you ask me, they'll get what they deserve.* - **Storyline Rumor**, occurs between arrival on Manhattan and the destruction of the RNC Donau
Independent Worlds

An area of the Sirius Sector located between the four Houses.

## Background

As noted by Edison Trent as he traveled through the Independent Worlds, they were much more dangerous than space within the four Houses, encountering pirates several times. Thankfully, the Independent Worlds are also patrolled by police factions which saved him.

Otto Schultzky

## Background

An admiral in the Rheinland Military who had met with President Jacobi on several occasions prior to the Nomad War. She describes Schultzky as "a man of reason, committed to peace."

## Storyline

He was sent to Planet Manhattan following the Destruction of Freeport 7 as a special envoy of Chancellor Niemann. He flew on the RNC Donau, his flagship with a heavy escort. On the agenda was a new trade proposal and a cooperative security measure.  Many people suspect that he was actually sent in order to defuse speculation that Rheinland was behind the Destruction of Freeport 7.

## References

1. ↑ **Storyline News Report: Jacobi Hopeful About Meeting**
The President was candid today when asked about her upcoming meeting with Admiral Schultzky. She said that despite recently strained diplomatic ties, this is a positive gesture from Chancellor Niemann. Jacobi and Schultzky have met on several occasions before his formal diplomatic appointment, and she has previously described him as "a man of reason, committed to peace."
2. ↑ **Storyline News Report: Rheinland Admiral in Manhattan**

Rheinland Admiral **Otto Schultzky** arrives in Manhattan today to meet with President Jacobi. Though they plan to discuss a new trade proposal, the President says that a heightened cooperative security measure will be on their agenda as well in light of the recent Freeport 7 tragedy. The admiral's flagship, the RNC Donau, will arrive in Manhattan today under heavy guard.
3. ↑ *There's no mystery why Admiral Schultzky is here. Chancellor Niemann sent him to play politics with the President. Many in the government believe that Niemann was behind the attack on Freeport 7. Schultzky is here to appease Liberty and the High Court, while the Rheinland Military continues to operate illegally in the Border Worlds. It's not a big secret that Rheinland has been overstepping its boundaries out there for the last few weeks.* - Storyline Rumor, occurs between arrival on Manhattan and the destruction of the RNC Donau

BDR-337 Defender Heavy Fighter

A Liberty standard heavy fighter.

## Storyline

Freeport 7 had a defensive fighter wing consisting of three BDR-337s. They were dispatched to escort Samura transport SA14 out of the system due to unknown sensor contacts on the long range scanners. Unfortunately, this left the station defenseless when the Nomad ships decloaked and destroyed the station.
