Texas has recently become not only a hub of cardamine trafficking but also of alien artifacts. I intercepted one more Watcher transport which despite my warning to the former one, it also carried artifacts. The transport's crew was unresponsive so I made quick use of it. A Junker Marauder soon afterwards came and we shared the loot. A few days later I intercepted a TBH convoy as well. I advised the Brotherhood to use the Unioners as a link for their artifact trade and along with the help of a Liberty Rogue that I called for backup we extorted them for a total of 13 million credits.

In the same system I intercepted IC|Riga recently filled with Premium Scrap. Captain Elias for one more time was humiliated, tortured and eventually had his ship destroyed. Prisoners were also liberated from LH operatives. In both cases the Junker Marauders proved again their efficiency with quickly moving the cargo. Furthermore, I also met a smuggler and potential business partner Randy Rattlesnake. [①②③④⑤⑥]
These weeks I also travelled quite a lot, as I was refreshing my contacts. I contacted a Unione Corse transport to renew our business partnership but the captain took offense easily and was disrespectful. Hopefully he at least had the decency to relay my message to his bosses. In Hamburg I also met the puppet master of Rheinland Intelligence, Volker Koch. He seemed interested in more extensive cooperation and assured me that IND will be appropriately punished. Finally, according to the Congress, they are protecting the DSE miners in Humboldt. That claim made my day, really. I already stationed a ship nearby and with the help of Mr Scorpius we will make some corporate lapdogs cry. The Congress has been disrespectful and uncooperative. This will also be a lesson for them. [①②③④⑤]
Back in Rheinland I accidentally met the VWA, the main Bundschuh organization. Apparently they had lied about their purpose in Liberty when they were encountered in Texas. According to the newest explanation, they came to Liberty in order to pick up a transport. Furthermore their leader barely knew anything about us and classified the Lane Hackers as "cautious neutral". They were also suspicious towards the cardamine that I was carrying. Despite that, I was granted temporary docking rights at Bruchsal Base. In the Taus I also met a peculiar female Reaper pilot. I had to make extensive search in our databases to find more about this organization and our past dealings. Apparently they are on disarray. Finally in Texas I met former Mollys who came to Liberty in order to make money, a group named "Y". The message they sent to the Professorship was after I warned them that they are on our turf now. And they should appease us. Useful meatshield. [①②③④]
