Freeport 7 Survivors

## Background

There were nine survivors from the destruction of Freeport 7 who managed to escape on a single life pod. They were rescued and sent to Planet Manhattan in Liberty. The ship took two days to travel back to Manhattan but there were some onboard medics to ensure injured survivors were kept in stable condition.

When the LSF began their investigation of the attack, they decided to question the survivors, even the critically injured ones. However, the Liberty government only had the names of the injured survivors, significantly hampering their efforts. Furthermore, the medical commissioner of the Williams-Creek Medical Center declined these requests due to their medical condition. Rumors swirled about how bad the injuries were from the attack to the point that some thought the survivors were "barely hanging on." In reality, Sam Lonnigan was the only unconscious survivor shown,  though the news reported that there were several survivors that required immediate meical attention.

1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 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

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.
3. ↑ *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
4. ↑ *I hear the LSF wants to accelerate the investigation by questioning survivors from Freeport 7 - even the critically injured ones. They were going to wait but the pressure must really be on to pull a stunt like that. I mean what can some of these people really tell them? Most of them are barely hanging on. I've even heard that outside of the list of injured, the LSF isn't entirely sure who was even on Freeport 7 at the time. Typical government efficiency!* - Storyline Rumor, occurs between arrival on Manhattan and the destruction of the RNC Donau
