Re: Captivity
How dare you..?
Well, this must be Launders' fault, but we don't have much time for the bloody details. As I recognize from the recent reports, Jake Benson is being kept under detention in Mactan. Now, I could dispatch a specially trained squad of naval corps to bomb your base down to the ground and exfiltrate the area to return with the mentioned pilot, but I don't trust the Rogue presence of Alcatraz. They would look for possible ways to ambush our convoy, for sure. Jake ain't a regular pilot yet and it is true that he doesn't know much compared to his superiors. So, I must request from you to release the pilot at once without harming him. In return, a reasonable sum will be transferred into your accounts.
Ending Transmission..

Damn, typed in the code myself and it still doesn't work, atleast this isgetting through.
An LPI cruiser froze my dodgy engines after I loitered around Manhattan too long, advanced thruster always fails, but the greed of targets affected my judgment, should've left the area.
After having engines frozen, a boarding party proceeded to enter the ship and search the cargo bay.
Recommend development of adequate hiding places, and a secret hold.
Am currently in custody in Manhattan, organising legal defence.
We know the courts in NY are biased, no Judge in Manhattan ever let a Lane Hacker go, so I'm dedicating the majority of my time to this as I am no good to the Lane Hackers if in a lockup on Manhattan, and the only escape route appears to be the legal method.
My apologies for disregarding orders to stay out of Manhattan space in violation of previous command directives.
Unwilling to discuss further due to security concerns and the right to a fair trial which may be jeopardised.
Only got this message out through an unsecured civillian prisoner terminal.
Recommed Moriarty confirms via pm to either me or Drax, any further public communication regarding this matter may jeopardise safety based on the known usage of using any and all communications suggestive of guilt or wrong doing against an individual.
//End message, Message sent.
* LPI notes. Due to content of message we advise full search of prisoner and elimination of communication rights along with an extended period of custody prior to trial, prisoner has been denied bail due to previous breaches and evasion/resistance of police along with destruction of LPI pilots after ejection.
Noted reference to most wanted criminals, strange that the AI didn't pick this message up as a threat and automatically reject message protocols, appears a technical glitch has occured with the AI systems.
Further notes: Shame the engine crippler worked, would have been appropriate to assassinate this suspect under circumstances of Martial Law considering the crisis we face.

Congratulations to Le Chiffre and Highwayman for achieving the distinction of the rank of Hacker!
As a sign of thanks for your devotion and hard work on behalf of The Lane Hackers, the clan will purchase a bomber for each of you if you desire one for your personal use. Note that a bomber for general clan use will soon be deployed once it is acquired (probably within one week from now). So you may wish to simply rely on this one instead of maintaining a personal bomber, but that will be up to you.
Also, all Lane Hackers be on the lookout for our returning Lane Hacker, Trainee Jean Le Rouge, and our new Recruit Francis Drake.
All Lane Hackers are instructed to recover as many ARCHANGEL weapons as possible and transfer them to LH.R&D or the interrogation vessel in Magellan if R&D is unavailable. [Loot that weapon with ALL of your LH ships!]
