The Frozen Family History
Before Ing.Zmrzlik's family moved to Liberty, their clan had lived in Bretonia for several generations.
Zmrzlik's wife died after a strong allergic reaction to several toxins in the atmosphere
of Planet Leeds, due to the poor level of local medical attention. She was there on duty, performing some
research for the new Cryer department that was opened in Cambridge, where they actually got married about twenty years ago.
Because of this, Zmrzlik has abandoned his position in BMM's engineering department and decided to move to a place where public health has higher priority
than just mining, trade and profits... where he thought the corporation wouuldn't be as reckless as in Bretonia.
Because you can't buy another life for any amount of credits. Time has proved him wrong again, though. Liberty does
care about its middle class, but the corporate villains are'nt any better. Now he has a chance to compare it with
Nomad infestation, and he agrees with his step-brother Looter and many other Lane Hackers on this:
Those plagues are equal, one worse than the other.
Biography of Lane Hacker Looter
Looter is often referred to as 'Uncle Looter' or 'Lootey' by Fridge (Refrigerator) and Frosty.
He was born on Planet Cambridge, the most beautiful place of them all, land with green hills, beautiful
sunrises and sunsets. He has also grown up there and eventually attended the well known university
on the planet. Several of his schoolmates have joined the ranks of Gaians, therefore he has a bit
of sympathy for them. However the fact that they've been corrupted by the ruthless Corsairs is making
him upset. Ah, I almost forgot to mention the field of Looter's studies. He doesn't have such an expert
knowledge of high technologies and hacking into protected computer systems, or even gate/lane building...
The reason why the Lane Hacker group in Magellan accepted him were his tactical skills, the ability to
foresee enemy movements and last but not least, he's indeed a decent pilot as well. There might be better ones
in statistics, but it's the way he uses environment and circumstances to his own advantage, that makes him who
he is.
Back to the history: to work for Ageira after settling in Liberty was simply the most profitable
and interesting thing to do - which made it the right thing to do, according to Looter's independent hedonistic
philosophy. At least that's what he and Zmrzlik thought that time. The policy of Ageira Technologies showed them.
There's really no need to explain this in here, as you can read about those crimes and corruption in other employee
reports of those who became Lane Hackers as well. Not sharing Zmrzlik's pain and sadness completely, Looter liked
to visit Cambridge occasionally, to enjoy the sights... that's why he persuaded Zmrzlik that they should move to
Planet Los Angeles, closer to Cambridge and far enough from the fussy Manhattan. And so they later joined the California
scanner group, that fled to Magellan ... and Zmrzlik's kids came after them few years later, because their dad
wanted them to finish their education first, so that they can save innocent lives, in memory to their lost mother, who
was passed away thanks to the ignorance of the abovementioned 'lawful' criminals.
One day, he would like to return to his home world, where he began his first journey into space. That will take a long time,
though. Thank's to the well-known enhancer Cardamine, he has countless years before him and retirement is still far away.
Behavior:
When the time comes, he usually just evaluates the situation, and acts. Looter doesn't care much about what others think.
This may be both an advantage and a weakness, as he would say, having close to philosophic debates every evening that
he can spend in the Mactan's Bar. With all the folks there being technicians, not many have the time and mood for some
philosophy, poetry, or real wisdom. Blessed be their cleverness and clear minds, nevertheless.
Special thanks to: the Outcasts for their revolutionary enhancer. Cheers!
