Anomalies are OP'd, annoying and they usually mess RP up (Unless Les corner you in a building with one and forces you to TP to some wierd place =O That was fun)
Freedom, or so I imagine use the saying "Free access to all" to get money, they give artifacts to a third party organisation that pay big, they arent bandits, there organised, everyone thinks Freedom are stoners, they are, but it dosnt mean they dont mean buisness, I imagine with Freedoms faction-style, they'd get a good engineer, and if they found a half-destroyed copter/hijacked one they could set it up, ofcourse Fuel wouldnt be hard to get because of this third party organisation helping Freedom, if they can get LRs, G36s and all that stuff, why cant they buy fuel?
.....I think.
IMO, got the cash, then you get the Chopper.
