Greetings.

I have completed another criteria toward Sabotage Mastery

Fraudulency

I was alerted to the presence of a Weasel working for Omicron Supply industries by the Shikoku Spyglass Array, I first attempted to intercept him within the Shikoku system, however he managed to slip past. I was later able to interdict him and his valuable cargo in the Colorado system and extort him for 12,500,000 SC, I have attached the audio transcripts as further evidence.

Sincerely,

Mr.Thackeray

Survivability
Howdy fellow Hackers,

Since the changes to our career paths, I've been dormant - up until now. I've exchanged my old Falchion for a Scimitar on Cochrane and started looking around for people to shoot at. Luckily I found myself two worthy candidates to prove myself, Stoneheart and the infamous Liberty Security Force agent "Mason Chandler". Unfortunately I was no match for them in a Light Fighter, especially when even the slightest bit of damage from a Nuclear mine my Scimitar would explode into pieces.

Although, today I've stumbled upon a skirmish between Gallic and Navy fighters. After the skirmish had come to an end I immediately jumped on the burning fighter that was left scarred after the battle and took him down. Afterwards I engaged on a full-on battle against 6th|Alpha-1. Learning from my mistakes in my two previous fights, I steered clear of any Nuclear mines and prevailed in the fight - finally proving myself in a Light Fighter.

As I am writing this report I am on my way to purchase a Very Heavy Fighter - a Raven's Talon from Barrier Gate. I've heard recently that new models have been manufactured with a substantial improvement to the ship's agility. If something does not seem sufficient, ask Professor Scorpius who spectated the fight between me and Alpha-1.

Good evening, esteemed Professors, fellow Hackers. The following activities are submitted to meet the corresponding criteria, to further advance in Intelligence mastery.

Contribution.

Transfer confirmation.

Subterfuge.

The encrypted transmission to Gaian Guard Brothers Brown, which resulted in personal meeting, after which they agreed to provide me with information about Gate/Lane parts shipments to New London Gate Construction site, recently established by Gallic Royalists.

Log #1

[27.05.2018 00:41:48] LH~Bloom!: Good evening, Mr. Brown. It is indeed good to see you around.
[27.05.2018 00:42:20] GG-E-M-B.: Before we begin, we should say our dues. Thank you Mother Gaia, for the diplomacy we are about to conduct.
[27.05.2018 00:42:41] GG-E-M-B.: We will use everything we gain in your name, and ensure that you remain our sacred symbol.
[27.05.2018 00:42:54] GG-E-M-B.: We may start.
[27.05.2018 00:43:18] GG-E-M-B.: We do not usually travel out this far.
[27.05.2018 00:43:24] LH~Bloom!: Perhaps, to start with, i should apologise. I have assembled you rathet on a... personal matter.
[27.05.2018 00:43:51] GG-E-M-B.: Please elaborate.
[27.05.2018 00:44:09] LH~Bloom!: As you might remember, Mr.Brown, i haven't asked for anything in exchange for the provided intelligence on the Planetform-
[27.05.2018 00:44:12] LH~Bloom!: -counterpart.
[27.05.2018 00:44:24] LH~Bloom!: I have saved the opportunity to do so for this moment.
[27.05.2018 00:45:05] GG-E-M-B.: We had assumed you were conducting your sacred duty as a child of Gaia.
[27.05.2018 00:45:15] LH~Bloom!: As you might already find out, Gallic invasion is still going on, and recently we have discovered a Jump Gates construction-
[27.05.2018 00:45:16] GG-E-M-B.: No payment required.
[27.05.2018 00:45:27] LH~Bloom!: -site of Jump Gates.
[27.05.2018 00:46:04] LH~Bloom!: Considering the previous focus of their efforts - those will, most likely, lead the invasion to the New London.
[27.05.2018 00:46:15] LH~Bloom!: However, this is not what is of crucial matter for us.
[27.05.2018 00:46:34] GG-E-M-B.: I am not sure why this concerns us either.
[27.05.2018 00:46:42] GG-E-M-B.: We are not fans of the Gallic invaders.
[27.05.2018 00:46:55] LH~Bloom!: Today, we have received a confirmation that EFL have indeed started supplying the construction site with Gate/Lane parts.
[27.05.2018 00:47:14] LH~Bloom!: Which are appear to be a counterpart of Ageira White Boxes.
[27.05.2018 00:47:14] GG-E-M-B.: Do you have evidence of this?
[27.05.2018 00:47:26] LH~Bloom!: Indeed, we do.
[27.05.2018 00:47:37] LH~Bloom!: This can be provided upon request through the secure channel.
[27.05.2018 00:47:57] LH~Bloom!: But i find it not justified to ask you to assault the aforementioned shipments.
[27.05.2018 00:48:10] GG-E-M-B.: So now is your chance to ask Mother Gaia what it is you seek from us.
[27.05.2018 00:48:38] LH~Bloom!: So, i would like to inquire if you would be so kind to provide us the intel about as much shipments coming in as you can.
[27.05.2018 00:49:01] LH~Bloom!: Consider this as a direct request from me to you, Mr.Brown.
[27.05.2018 00:49:13] LH~Bloom!: We will deal with those shipments appropriately.
[27.05.2018 00:49:20] GG-E-M-B.: *looks confused*
[27.05.2018 00:50:08] GG-E-M-B: A direct request is never a good one. We are all one under Gaia's Branches!
[27.05.2018 00:50:09] LH~Bloom!: Should i, perhaps, make it slightly more clear?
[27.05.2018 00:50:29] LH~Bloom!: Yes, indeed.
[27.05.2018 00:50:42] LH~Bloom!: I apologise for the inconvenience.
[27.05.2018 00:51:17] LH~Bloom!: But the request still remains the same, and i would like you, Mr.Brown, to ensure the information reaches out to us.
[27.05.2018 00:52:03] LH~Bloom!: It will be processed appropriately, as well as the shipments we are going to disrupt and cargo we will repossess.
[27.05.2018 00:52:42] LH~Bloom!: Would The Children of Gaia do me that minor favor?
[27.05.2018 00:52:55] GG-E-M-B.: We must return to the soil of Gaia to meditate on this information.
[27.05.2018 00:53:14] GG-E-M-B: Now sweet child, we return to the soil from which we came. We will take your information and think over it with much intent.
[27.05.2018 00:53:27] LH~Bloom!: I believe, Mr.Brown, your meditation will bring you to the proper conclusion.
[27.05.2018 00:53:32] LH~Bloom!: Farewell.

Infiltration.

A true gesture of kindness from Professor Yoshida, who caught Samura in breach of Leeds embargo and transferred this information to me, have been processed appropriately, and handed over to Bretonian law enforcement.

Deviousness
While casually blocking New York -> Colorado Jumpgate, I was assaulted by some pigs. Sent a few worms along the way, to keep the fighting distractions and other unfavorable circumstances. LPI Executioner was quickly forced to implode by precision disruptors. With only LPI Avenger remaining, I successfully hacked into his mine dropper and forced another implosion. As Forlorn| Merlin was on horizon, I wanted to retreat, but the adrenaline rush inside kept whispering that I got this. Boom Kaboom, I had that.

Greetings. First, one criteria completition:

Contribution : Proof

At last, I assessed the information I was provided regarding a possible deal between Battlegroup Harmony and Core. Admiral Knight herself told me that, despite the operation conducted by them in the Omicrons -where they were helped by the Core- they have no plans for a deal with the latter. Still, I'd advise to keep the Battlegroup under discrete observation nevertheless. Should they develop something with them, we'll know it. Log excerpt below.

[31.05.2018 17:55:54] H|-SNS-Harmony: Y
[31.05.2018 17:56:16] Maximillian,Largo: "Admiral Hunter, yes? I'm Maximillian Largo of the Lane Hackers."
[31.05.2018 17:56:34] H|-SNS-Harmony: We don't know any Admiral Hunter.
[31.05.2018 17:56:46] Maximillian,Largo: *ahem* "Pardon."
[31.05.2018 17:57:03] Maximillian,Largo: "I tend to misremember the names."
[31.05.2018 17:58:23] H|-SNS-Harmony: So did you wish to speak Commander Hunter then or Admiral Knight?
[31.05.2018 17:58:34] Maximillian,Largo: "I meant Admiral Victoria Knight, my pardons."
[31.05.2018 17:58:53] H|-SNS-Harmony: I can patch you through but what should I tell her this is about?
[31.05.2018 17:59:13] Maximillian,Largo: "It regards sensitive information."
[31.05.2018 17:59:22] H|-SNS-Harmony: She is very busy.
[31.05.2018 17:59:39] Maximillian,Largo: "What if I add that said information regard the Battlegroup^"

[31.05.2018 18:00:23] H|-SNS-Harmony: Well I will patch you through then.
[31.05.2018 18:00:29] Maximillian,Largo: "Thank you."
[31.05.2018 18:01:19] H|-SNS-Harmony: This is Admiral Knight, what do you have for me?
[31.05.2018 18:01:40] Maximillian,Largo: "Ah, Admiral Knight. I think you have already been told who I am."
[31.05.2018 18:02:06] Maximillian,Largo: "If not, allow me to introduce myself: Maximillian Largo of the Lane Hackers."
[31.05.2018 18:02:36] 2018-05-31 18:02:38 SMT [31.05.2018 18:02:36] Maximillian,Largo: "I have been forwarded information hinting at a possible collaboration between the Core and Harmony."
[31.05.2018 18:03:09] Maximillian,Largo: "I just want to assess said information."
[31.05.2018 18:03:12] H|-SNS-Harmony: Are you Hackers not talking to each other or is this an attempt to see if you'll receive a different answer?
[31.05.2018 18:03:58] Maximillian,Largo: "I'll go straight to the point: several weeks ago, a Core gunboat was sighted in Bering."
[31.05.2018 18:04:47] Maximillian,Largo: "Its captain stated he arrived in the system 'on vacation' - yet it is unlikely the truth."
[31.05.2018 18:05:07] H|-SNS-Harmony: I believe you've already been told what we know about them. We assume they were assessing the situation in Bering.
[31.05.2018 18:05:26] Maximillian,Largo: "I also got knowledge of a certain operation your Battlegroup conducted in the Omicrons."
[31.05.2018 18:05:36] H|-SNS-Harmony: Considering their forces protected one of my scouts within the Omicrons that was to be expected.
[31.05.2018 18:05:57] Maximillian,Largo: "Yet, they granted you and your men access to their stations."
[31.05.2018 18:06:25] Maximillian,Largo: "I'm positively thinking that there is more beneath."
[31.05.2018 18:07:07] H|-SNS-Harmony: So far nothing came out of it. There is no reason to make them an enemy.
[31.05.2018 18:07:36] Maximillian,Largo: "This makes me point to my other thought."
[31.05.2018 18:07:52] Maximillian,Largo: "Harmony and Core striking a business deal."
[31.05.2018 18:08:24] Maximillian,Largo: "Perhaps the latter helping the former in regards to weaponry and supplies?"
[31.05.2018 18:08:41] Maximillian,Largo: "Of course, these are mere speculations."
[31.05.2018 18:08:59] H|-SNS-Harmony: So far no such deal has been made. There is no plan for one either.
[31.05.2018 18:09:48] Maximillian,Largo: "I see. You assure me you do not plan to strike a deal with the Core, yes?"
[31.05.2018 18:10:42] Maximillian,Largo: "If so, I think I acquired the information I required."
[31.05.2018 18:11:10] Maximillian,Largo: "Thank you for your time, Admiral."
[31.05.2018 18:11:20] Maximillian,Largo: "Largo, over and out."
[31.05.2018 18:11:22] H|-SNS-Harmony: We certainly have too little information about the situation within the Omicrons to make any deals there.
[31.05.2018 18:11:25] H|-SNS-Harmony: Until then, Hacker.

Shortly after the conversation I had with the Admiral, I received a distress call from Professor Scorpius regarding Hellfire legionnaires. I directed myself to Planet Atka, in its orbit, and joined him. Shortly after, Mr.Espada and Mr.Malprave joined us, and the Hellfires were joined by another of their ship, totalling three - callsigns Steve.Athanas, [HF]-Stoneheart and [HF]Crimson-1. After some mud-slinging, the fight erupted. I managed to bring one down with me, although my own vessel was disabled. I remained unconscious for a while, and I awoke on Dawson. Somehow, the remains of my Vindicator were brought quickly to Marshall, where its repairs are underway. It will be flight-ready in no time.

This is all for now.

Salutations,
Maximillian Largo

Superiority

Myself and Ms.Willing encountered a number of vessels belong to the Bretonian Armed Force and Liberty Police. Partway through the fight Ms.Willing was forced to Eject and left me with a 1v3. My first kill was scored against Buzz a Libertonian policeman. Next, I found myself against two officers of the Bretonian Armed Forces. The first, BAF|Lt.Mike.Harris was disassembled after a short skirmish. Next, BAF|Cdr.Seeley.French was quickly engaged and forced to eject.

Humiliation
While blockading Colorado->New York Jumpgate, I encountered a nosy Freelancer with Navy affiliation. My initial plan was to show him that ignoring my request is a bad idea by destroying all his weapons but this was not meant to be and I had to settle with setting his ship on fire. Target was forced to accept the outcome of this battle and afterwards was allowed to limp back to safety.

Greetings. Another day, another corporate dull-witted pesky weasel rightfully robbed of its wealth.

Insidiousness

By using the Spyglass Network and my prediction skills, I managed to track and extort an Ageira Stork-class Advanced Train, callsign Altename_25,

As an added flavour note, I'll leave here the log of the encounter where the dull Ageira lackey openly admitted to work for the corrupted Libertonians' dirty wealth increase.

Esteemed Colleagues,

Please forgive my lateness in providing a report from last week. For as I got back to my quarters to write the report, I was interrupted with an invite to an opportunity I could not miss, which resulted in me being in holocuffs for a week Fear not for I wasn't apprehended... It was far more sinister For it involved my fantasies and a couple of... Well lets not say for a report is no place for me to brag about my conquests...

Onwards with the report...

Espionage

As some of you may remember, we had been invited to meet with Auxesia last weekend over in the Inverness system. Which resulted in a firefight due to some Nomads turning up uninvited.

Whilst the engagement was taking place myself and Mr. Weiden took the opportunity to take a closer look at the layout of the base and take some photo's of some of the more interesting areas.

Auxesia Base Valravn Citadel

As you can see from the guncam images there are several points of interest, the main body of the base has a rotating ring that looks like it could be a defensive weakspot along with this, I only spotted 1 weapon mounted on the top deck of the main body.

Protruding from this was 2 arms (also possible weak-spots) leading to a docking bay (3 guns on the top of it along with a communications array) And a dry dock (which suggests the Auxesia having the capability of manufacturing Capitol Ships of their own

Whilst myself and Mr. Weisen were conducting our analysis of the base,some unknown signatures showed on our scanners and we proceeded to intercept. Whilst Mr.Weisen interrogated them I took scans of their weapon and cargo systems.

Finally after business was conducted, once back at Mactan, I swapped over to the interrogator to take acceptance of some Nomad munitions that Mr. Weisen had picked up from the engagement that had halted our meeting.

Proof of Acceptance

Please also note;
Evidence of 50M credits I personally transferred to R&D so that I may start my Research Criteria which I hope will be taken into consideration for my Contribution criteria.

Praised be the Professorship for their wisdom in which they saw it necessary for me to not rest in my struggle for perfection. There is nothing I want more than to prove myself again and again.

Espionage

During standard business with The Unioners I learned that The Battlegroup Harmony was conducting talks with The Hellfire Legion which was the beginning of the biggest diplomatic crisis this year. I think that's something!^[resource]
