Things i learned
1. Mrs. Reynolds likes to carry Cardimine
2. It is still possible to catch up to traders if you know at least the general heading. (Thank you Phate)
3. Attacking before scanning is a bad idea
Other things i did today....
Helped Seraffimo Spang transport a load of cardi to Rochester. We went back to accept donations from people passing near mactan. Being slow i offered junker safe passage for him and his counterfeit software. We talked about the rising tensions between Liberty and Rhineland. Apparently the Rhineland unlawful are in negotiations with the military to work together if need be.
Helped LH~james with being integrated in the hacker community
And here i am hacking the channel
untill next time

For today, I first ran with AlecTrevelyan to Colorado. We chased down a trader carrying luxury food when I saw a very peculiar evasion tactic. This particular trader would go straight up until he was out of range of all scanners on the trade lane and planet level, then drop down towards his docking target. He also would avoid all asteroid and ice fields. I have yet to test whether this works with radiation. Could be useful. We chases this trader to Ontario then to Colorado when we stopped him and taxed for 2 million credits.
After that event, we went into the silver fields and met a miner with two CSVs. Attracting a lot of attention when we requested for credits, a Xeno and a police showed up. The police destroyed my Dagger while Alec was demanding credits from the miner. Alec later forced the police to flee and the Xeno engaged him. They fought for a long time until a ceasefire was met. Alec later had a mine misfire which atomized his ship. The Xeno hauled in his pod.

I failed to catch Alec's ejection notice.
A few hours later, Elliot, the Spang brothers, and me were disrupting traffic in Magellan. At first it was very slow work with all of the traders escaping or docking until we caught a lucky break on the California-Freeport 4 lane with 3 traders coming all at once. All of them payed their taxed.
We were contacted by a man who claimed to be a former Lane Hacker, along the name of Albert. When a luxury liner came into the system, he knew the IFF of it even before it came into scanner range. That ship was carrying 480 food rations. Since it refused to pay, we chased it to Manchester, killing it about 15K from Sheffield Station. Oddly however, he paid each of us 1 million each, for a total of 4 million which was our demand in the first place.
That sums up my day. Obanno Out.

Multiple interesting things happened today...where to start...
Well, first off, I was hacking the FP4 to Manchester lane when a potentially profitable train flew by. Knocked him out of the lane, along with his Bounty Hunter escort. Of course, the hunter engaged me, and with my luck as it is he didn't bother to say a word beforehand. Anyway, I managed to send him off into the void of space with some help from Elliot and our new recruit, Bytes.

Destruction is Imminent
After that, a while after, Elliot, DD, Jack and myself were hacking the same lane again, when a Corsair Lux Liner came through. Obviously, we asked it for some creds, that or to drop the Crete bound food it was carrying. He refused both options, and chose death. It was a long, and exhausting death, but death it was.
I have to say though...he was one brave Liner pilot.
I didn't get the ejection notice, unfortunately, but i managed to salvage one good image from my ship's damaged cam.

It seems we either have an imposter or there is a serious misunderstanding considering Robin Hood. I was flying some day ago, when i suddenly saw Robin Hood coming up online at Omicron Alpha. I decided to turn my comm on and send him a message. However, Robin replied too strange, so i i'm not sure if he is an imposter trying to get inside our system holding the name of the infamous Robin of the Lane Hackers. I reckon this should be under further investigation.

Today in my daily shift, as i was sitting in the Mactanian bar searching with my computer through the system for a valuable trader to salvage i found a few sitting in Colorado. I waited to see if they would move to a different system, but it seemed they were just staying there. I wrote in the LH's private comm channel and Jack Spang turned my call and came in. We formed up and cruised for Colorado.
As we jumped through the Colorado JH we were lucky to find a Red Hessian ship nearby atomizing police ships. He wasn't worth any real bounty, so i decided to persuade him to pay for his life, politely. It turned out he was willing to save his ship and not to waste his escape pod as we got a transfer of 500k credits. As a token of gratitude we left him live.

Just afterwards Phate joined up as we traced a Corsair Cruiser. Phate located him and after a scan it turned out he was carrying valuable Alien cargo. He was also damaged and unarmed, most probably of the encounter with the Aliens. After a bit of pursuit and persistence Phate atomized the Cruiser with his bomber. I headed for Mactan to get my Transport and we salvaged what was left of the cruiser. I transferred the cargo to a safe ship on Mactan under Phate's control. We could use the Alien cargo and the amount of pilots as a source of information.

Yesterday, I saw a strange phenomena from the navies.
The molecular degenerated headless corporates building the navy capital ships may have forgot to give an energy stabilizer to their engines or weaponry. I saw in my local logs that my scanners lost two vessels of the Liberty Navy Security fleet in New York, showing an immense explosion at their last known location.
Shall we let the Ageira and other corrupted continue their work ?
