To whom it may concern, I wish to join to the fight against those at Agiera and Interspace, as well as any that claim to be with them.
I used to work for Interspace.....I did not see it at the time, but it was a big mistake. At first it was going well, I was a security officer when I worked for them, but that changed....
I was assigned to monitor the security cams, I noticed a meeting going on and started to wonder what they talked about in those meetings of there's. They started to talk about some of there deals but before I could get any real picture of what they were doing the head of security came in.
They put me under arrest, claiming things I had never done. They planed to send me off to a prison without a trial, I was not going to let that happen.
As being escorted to the ship that would take me away, I grabbed a gun off one of the officers. After knocking out the other guard and I got in the smallest ship I could find, trying to not atracked any attention to myself. I managed to get out of range of the station before they knew I was gone.
That is how I got into this mess...I don't know who else to go to but you. I wish to help put a stop to those scum. I will await your reply...if I can last that long.

I used to work for Ageira, I was a software developer, my main roll was to write subroutines for the USI system, it's boring me now writing about it.

6 months into my employment, I was asked to work on a secret project, they told me nothing, they asked me to program some software that keeps an object in space cloaked for long periods of time, it controls the fuel intake, sends drone ships out to harvest fuel for it, and self-destructs the second the cloak fails.

I decided to hack the CEOs communication channel to see what I was working on.

My discoveries were shocking, they were working on a new device that disrupts jump holes, making them dangerously unstable, these devices are cloaked and undetectable, ships jumping through the disrupted jump holes could end up anywhere, and even have a small chance of being imploded by the jump holes instability.

These devices are obviously created to decrease the use of jump holes, and increase the use of the gates, making Ageira even richer.

I told a colleague who I trusted about what Ageria were planning to do, a few days later, I was sacked, for good measure they sent some lackeys to destroy all of my computing equipment, everything was erased, all evidence, everything I'd been working on.

I now have no where to turn, my rep is so bad I can't gain employment anywhere, I wish to make the scum bags at Ageria pay for what they have done to me, they are a corrupt monopoly that see nothing wrong with endangering peoples lives to make even more money.

Greetings Professor,

I was born to a rich family on planet Denver. My parents, grandpa, his father .... were Ageira employees for many years, but they saw good Ageira only. I know Ageira isn't good faction, but my parents were forcing me to join Ageira for all costs and continue family tradition. I joined Ageira, but I wasn't happy. I knew there was a bad side of Ageira Corporation and I started looking for mistakes and faults.

Looking for mistakes wasn't so long and I found a important mistake. This mistake cost few lifes... But why did they hide this failure?? Few days of reading and looking for reason made me tired, but I found it... Ageira could not admit its own failure... and Liberty could take its credits back ... But Ageira said it was Employee's failure and not Ageira's... And the best thing is: Interspace was included too and helped Ageira with this case ... I bet there were a lot of bribes from IC side... They found me handling with documents and I had to escape ... They tried to kill me but I killed one person of Pueblo security guard.

And now I'm here in Magellan. I would like help against Ageira and Interspace and bring some experience to Lane Hackers.

Case: Another day, another haul... You boys enjoy this now, fresh from Malta. I paid top dollar for this batch, it's pure as you can get without going liquid. Just wire the credits into my tertiary accounts as per usual; I'll do the rest.

Dr. Julius No: Nice, nice. I'll definitely enjoy my cut. Credits should be transferred shortly, I'll get the dock crew to load up this here software in no time. Remember, it's fragile.

Case: I'm well aware. I'm almost at my hundredth trip back to Outcast space with these babies. In fact, I've got my own unit of counterfeit software package I've been tweaking.

Dr. Julius No: Oh, you do a bit of hacking yourself, huh?

Case: Yeah, from ever since I got my first Ono-Sendai deck from a Kusari dealer I've been learning what makes 'em tick. It's what got me interested in your lane of business in the first place, excuse the pun.

Dr. Julius No: Hahaaa, good one.

Case: Problem is, I hack real slowly nowadays without my cybernetics.

Dr. Julius No: You lost them?

Case: Yeah, earlier this year. I used to run some shady deals for the Hogosha. Feed my Cardamine addiction, you know? So there I am, smuggling guns and stolen goods around Kusari space for a few years in a DL series BWT. They underpaid me to hell, and my supervisor always skimmed from my pay, so one day, I get reeeeeeal jacked up while with a shipment, and think, "screw it, I'm done with this bullcrap". Hacked a couple mil from my supervisor, took the ship full of guns, and bolted.

Dr. Julius No: I take it this story doesn't have a happy ending.

Case: Heh. Damn right it doesn't. Take the guns to the Outcasts, trade it all in for Cardamine, and stash the ship with its cargo in Omicron Beta at Ruiz. Paid off an Outcast to keep her hidden. I know they're on to me at this point, hired a few assassins to come after me too. Bought myself a nice cheap Hayabusa from a Samuran dealer in the hopes of getting away. Turns out, the Samuran had already sold me out to the Hogosha, and as I undocked from the station, I was hit by a CD, and at least three Paralyzers. With no way of moving, I was taken to Kanagawa Station, and there, they literally injected liquid cardamine straight into my central nervous system. Not quite enough to kill me, but enough to royally [EXPLICIT DELETED] up my entire body, including my cybernetic interfaces. The bastards said something about "poetic justice".

Dr. Julius No: Oh man, that must of hurt.

Case: You know, I would have thought the same. But it was just numb. Completely numb. They left me there for around three days, and then began to torture me. I didn't feel a thing, so they shortly gave up. I was studied by them for a few weeks, then they just threw me aboard a Drone headed for Deshima. Thing was loaded with weapons. And that's when I regained control of my body. Slowly at first, but as the liquid cardamine began to wear off, it was as if all the pain I should have felt was being inflicted all at once. It felt as though I was as hot as a star, and then, in the next instance, it was gone. So, I broke open a crate, grabbed a pulse rifle, and wasted the crew.

Dr. Julius No: Gnarly.

Case: From there I took off to Omicron Beta, grabbed my BWT, got higher than I ever have before, and figured out what to do.

Dr. Julius No: And that's when you first contacted us.

Case: Yep. Outcast who was minding my vessel gave me a tip, told me where in Galileo to go, what frequency to broadcast on, and sure enough, you guys found me. Since then, I've been running under your contracts. While avoiding the Hogosha, of course.

Dr. Julius No: Hell of a story there. Well, since you're already smuggling for us, have you ever considered applying to join our ranks officially? We're always looking for a good, reliable smuggler, and with your background I'm sure you'd fit right in. Furthermore, the Hogosha wouldn't know you exist anymore. We could easily fake your death. Make it look legitimate.

Case: Well, the thought's crossed my mind a fair few times, but... Nah man, I'm ever since those damn Hogosha bastards ruined my cybers, I've been forced to revert back to using my hands to do everything. Makes things a bit slow, you know. I doubt I can even be fixed, and if it can, it's going to take a loooong time to save up the creds to do so.

Dr. Julius No: Well, Lane Hacker technology is second-to-none, as I'm sure you're already aware. We might be able to help you out with those cybernetics. And even if not, we could certainly help you get the funding you may require.

Case: Hmmm. You make a pretty valid point there. What the hell, I already know most of the faces here at Leiden, might as well learn some more, and then I can really help you kick Ageira's figurative backside all across Sirius.

Dr. Julius No: Perfect! Now, you will be required to take an entry exam, which you will submit to a Professor. You will also need to submit to a background check, but I'm sure I can just download the station's audio log, and you can submit that.

Case: Works for me. Show me to the examination room and I'll get started right away.

Dr. Julius No: Certainly, if you would just follow me down this hallway...

To all whom it may concern,

The Lane Hackers were a known organization by my late father. Even as simple trade ship captain, he learned as much as he can about them in order to prevent any interactions. I, however, became interested in them as a young child. Starting from when I was three years old, I began learning programming languages and techniques to further my expertise with computer systems. My father was disapproving, but that didn't stop me. When I was ten years old, he came home one day with bruises all over his face because he got into a fight with one of his crew members for avoiding a more direct path to where they were travelling. The next day, he came back from a visit to the corporate headquarters with a forced resignation letter explaining that he wasn't looking out for the company's "best interest."

From then on, I decided to vow to join the Lane Hackers and to kill that corporate scum and steal all of their money. When I was old enough to fly, I bought a ship with stolen money and began tinkering with the software running the lanes, eventually being able to shut down and entire trade lane within a few months. It was hard for me because I couldn't get caught by the police, but I did it anyways and enjoyed every second of it.

I am here now offering myself to help in your fight against corporate scum in Liberty. I will do whatever I can to make their lives as miserable as possible.

To whom it may concern,

I was nobody in Ageira. A casual, hard worker in programming division. Though to feed my family, I often took shifts on escort duty. And one day, I was the scapegoat for them. I was the victim of carefully planned insurance fraud claim by Ageira, who were the ones hiring those criminals to ambush the shipment, loot it and leave no survivors behind. Well, in this Ageira failed. They underestimated the power of will, will to survive.

Once I was signed off from hospital and before Ageira got hold of me, I managed to trace the data hinting of this conspiracy as well as to delete all my records on Liberty databases, to avoid prosecution by law or by Ageira. The corruption in Liberty must be dealt with from beyond the law.

I promise dedication, swift (un)justice and unconditional loyalty. You will not regret.
