Blackfriar again.
My HFX-F2B "Broadsword" has yet again proven to be an useful asset, as I managed to complete goals of Determination task.
My first target was a Freelancer freighter, codename "Bone_the_grey". The Freelancer was not very talkative, but he indeed was trigger-happy. He opened fire on me without any word. That was an end of him.
Ship scan
Proof of destruction
As the Spyglass reported a large concentration of corporate vessels in Kansas system, I moved in to intercept. I caught the first one at Pennsylvania gate in New York, a Universal Shipping Mastodon filled with copper ore. After a small talk, he generously offered to hand out four million credits to our cause.
Ship scan
Proof of extortion
My third target was another Universal Shipping vessel, this time a smaller craft; Mammoth. With a load of Drill Bits, he ran into my trap and moved on one million credits lighter.
Ship scan
Proof of extortion
My last target was a Deep Space Engineering Stork. He was rude enough to attempt to escape during our conversation, and after chasing him trough the lanes, I caught up with him. Enough to say that he met his demise.

Greetings.
While I was in command of the Cochrane Interdictor, an extortion attempt was made on a Freelancer Transport squawking a Zoner IFF. However the extortion attempt was unsuccessful as the targeted vessel made an attempt to evade. The vessel was unfortunately destroyed after many attempts to force him to stop.
Sincerely,
Guy Thackeray

Howdy Y'all, hope you're having a fine New Year's Eve. I've managed to encounter a Unione Corse flying a Gallic Liner in California, coming from Cortez. He was hauling Diplomats to Manhattan, as he claimed. Anyway, I've had a nice chat with him and managed to discretely extort him. Here are the black box logs.
Moving on, the Spyglass Scanner picked up multiple contacts in Kansas and so I made haste, on my way I've met a Republican Colossus hauling Copper Ore. I've managed to extort a fine sum and threatened him even, I don't have a huge liking for foreign corporations.
Lastly, I finally reached the Kansas copper field only to find a gathering of Deep Space Engineering Rhinos and a single Hegemon that managed to dock on the Modular Base, and a Kruger Ragnar. I asked for a simple sum of two million from each but it seems they like to use the "silent treatment". Although one of them decided to open fire on me - unwise he was as I swiftly shot him down to make a lesson out of him. I left the others alone and flew away empty-handed. Clearly, there was no profit to be made there.
I've got to extort some more to afford a bomber, not being sure of myself taking down that Corse Liner on my fighter.
That would be all for this day's noon.

Greetings.
Having acquired my new "Series Z" Sabre, I proceeded to put it to the test. First upon leaving Cochrane Depot, I was alerted by The Network to the presence of a extortion target in the Ontario System. The vessel turned out to be a Gas Miner that was moving a large number of Magnetic Superconductors, The vessel was extorted for 2.000.000 SC. Later after this encounter another vessel Squawking a Universal Shipping IFF while holding the papers of Deep Space Engineering, he was found to be carrying Doughnuts and Coffee. The corrupt flunky was extorted for 1.500.000 SC.

Greetings,
Today a large scale lock-down was executed on the New York system. This operation included Myself, Mr.Chang, Stefan Pomerov and the Independent Hacker "Intensity". Shortly after all participating vessels took their positions, the first extortion was made on the a Corporate transport bearing the call-sign "The_Cynesweord". The Scallywag was found to be carrying alcoholic beverages from Rheinland. He was extorted for 2.500.000 SC. Next, A freelancer transport bearing the call-sign "Andre_UA" was stopped. The freelancer was in possession of Diamonds, however upon attempting to coheres the freelancer to cut his engines, he decided to activate his delayed-action cloaking device. During his attempt to cloak his vessel was dismantled. A few minutes later another Freelancer transport was spotted, this time hauling slaves. His neural-net account was deprived of 2.000.000 SC. A short time later a hostile contact in the form of a Li-117 "Upholder" Bomber piloted by a Libertonian Scamp was spotted attempting to interfere with our lock-down operations. After a short engagement his vessel was vented to space by Mr.Chang. Nearly as fast as we dispatched one, another Cad turned up to take his place. Once again his vessel was turned into Swiss Cheese by Intensity. Shortly after, a hoodlum flying the flag of The Liberty Navy was spotted and attempted to interfere with my operations. His vessel was subjected to a rapid decompression. It was decided to end the operation at this point due to a large number of Libertonian vessel that we were altered to by Spyglass. Overall the operation was successful and resulted in the extortion of two transports and the destruction of three combat vessels. The locations of vessels are included as an attachment. This fulfills the criteria for the Command as well as Vigilance components of my promotion to the rank of Deceiver.

Greetings,
With my recent acquisition a new HFX-F2B "Broadsword", I proceeded to put it to the test by extorting a number of vessels. First, I was altered to the presence of a Corporate lapdog mining Silver ore within the Vespucci by Spyglass, contact was made with the vessel and an extortion attempt was made, however the vessel elected to refuse to comply which resulted in the dismantling of his vessel. Later, a Weasel belonging to Kishiro Technologies was sighted transporting Platinum-198 ore in the California system. He was extorted for the small fortune of 7.500.000 SC. After, a pair of vessels flying the colors of Dauman Heavy Construction, DHC-Hochvogel and DHC-Allgaeu were spotted in route from the Alberta system with one transporting Superconductors with the other moving Platinum-198 ore. They were asked to contribute a small donation of which both of them obliged. As a final addition I found an empty transport belonging to a freelancer which was extorted for 500.000 SC however it decided to forward 1.000.000 SC. With all of these actions completed I headed back to Cochrane.
Sincerely
Guy Thackeray

Greetings.
I have completed a successful Mana-Interrogation for the Manipulation criteria for promotion to Deceiver. The subject of the Interrogation was the Capitan of the vessel [*USI*]Ottawa[T]. The log files have been attached for review.
Interrogation Logs Wrote:LH~Thackeray': So.
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: Oh that was not necessary.
LH~Thackeray': A corporate weasel.
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: So what such a vessel is doing at the edge of this place?
LH~Thackeray': Edge?
LH~Thackeray': Not really no.
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: well edge of bretonian space sure.
LH~Thackeray': Heh.
LH~Thackeray': Says the Lapdog.
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: whats the procedure as usual? pay money or die?
LH~Thackeray': Maybe.
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: *sigh* that got a bit too old don't you think?
LH~Thackeray': Your group is full of the worst of the Libertonian shills.
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: why is that so?
LH~Thackeray': Tell me.
LH~Thackeray': What is your reason for flying such a vessel?
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: Shipping reasons? Universal shipping it is after all?
LH~Thackeray': Uh.
LH~Thackeray': That's not what I would call a shipping vessel.
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: Then what is it?
LH~Thackeray': It's a Liner.
LH~Thackeray': Not something you would see being pressed into service as a transport vessel.
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: sure. but it is enough to be a transport for Universal shipping and a liner for these reasons.
LH~Thackeray': And you will tell me where you got your cargo.
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: Universal shipping ships variety of things. And is one of the largest in Sirius.
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: New London space just close to here.
LH~Thackeray': I want more details.
LH~Thackeray': What is your expected profit margins
LH~Thackeray': What are the buy and sell points.
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: Not more than 10 million I presume.
LH~Thackeray': And where did you purchase it?
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: Planet in New London system. Heading to Planet Manhatten for people that want it.
LH~Thackeray': Interesting.
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: Some people in the bar ordered it.
LH~Thackeray': Why were you interested in employment with Universal Shipping?
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: Aha! now we are getting into details that are more than classified.
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: and personal for that matter.
LH~Thackeray': I suggest you lose the attitude.
LH~Thackeray': Else it may end badly for you and your crew.
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: well I am certainly in a good mood strangely enough.
LH~Thackeray': I would also suggest that you answer my questions.
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: I can only tell you one thing. Universal is a much better employment and money making option.
LH~Thackeray': Are you aware of the nearly criminal acts that your company has committed?
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: I am certainly aware of the acts. But can tell you that the acts changed the company to what it is now.
LH~Thackeray': *Coughs*
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: which concludes with a very strong and stable company.
LH~Thackeray': I will list a few here.
LH~Thackeray': Abuse of employees
LH~Thackeray': Corruption
LH~Thackeray': Grand Larsoney
LH~Thackeray': To name a few.
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: Now let me ask you. How much history do the Lane Hackers have?
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: was it all good?
LH~Thackeray': Yes.
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: Is there such a thing as a perfect company in Sirius?
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: I have my doubts, Mister...?
LH~Thackeray': We have had a quite a long as prosperous history.
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: Of employees yes.
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: how much money do you make on a monthly basis I wonder?
LH~Thackeray': That is not something I am willing to divulge
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: There we go. I am pretty sure my profits are marginal.
LH~Thackeray': Are there any extra-ordinary actions that your company is planning?
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: Except from shipping not really.
LH~Thackeray': What has happened to the escort services?
LH~Thackeray': I figured that they went out of business due to our group dismantling their vessels.
LH~Thackeray': After all.
LH~Thackeray': They were only cannon fodder.
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: now that I can confirm as a false. They are active from time to time. in high demand of time.
LH~Thackeray': I don't belive that.
LH~Thackeray': I have information from sources that a security ship hasn't launched in last past few months.
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: They will find you when the time is right. Don't worry.
LH~Thackeray': Are we going to be like that now?
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: just saying.
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: also your intel might be a bit corrupted as I know for a fact they log when needed.
LH~Thackeray': One last thing.
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: what is it?
LH~Thackeray': You will be required to donate a small fortune to The Lane Hackers
LH~Thackeray': That sum will be 1.500.000 SC
LH~Thackeray': Then I will leave you alone.
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: give me a second apologies.
LH~Thackeray': *He chews on his cardimine cigar*
LH~Thackeray': *He taps his fingers on the cockpit dashboard*
You have received 1.500.000 credits from [*USI*]Ottawa[T]
[*USI*]Ottawa[T]: Jake: The money is yours.
LH~Thackeray': Be on your way.
Sincerely,
Guy Thackeray

Blackfriar here.
I am here to inform you of my completion of following criteria:
Command
I have performed a successful lockdown operation in cooperation with mister Thackeray and mister Pomerov. We have halted any and all traffic throughout the Manchester system by cutting the lanes towards Cortez - Mister Thackeray and Pomerov, and Magellan - me. In case of emergence, pilots were instructed to rendezvous at a meeting point near Magellan hole (shown with arrow markers) and proceed with destruction of hostile target, or retreat to Mactan Base. Details are shown below.
![[Image: mvSKCYN.png]](https://i.imgur.com/mvSKCYN.png)
While the traffic was mostly neutral and allied parties passing trough, our first victim was a BIS Pilot, instructing us to leave the system. Mister Thackeray's reflexes resulted in a SNACK and elimination of an operative. The completion of the criteria ensued after mister Thackeray and Pomerov intercepted an Ageira Technologies transport and extorted him for a sum of 2,000,00 SC. After the completion of criteria, we used the escape route to return to Mactan. Guncams are attached below.

Transport vessel scan

Ingeniousness
Details included in Mission Archive report #96
Relentlessness
An addition to it, after a destruction of a Navy vessel, I have come to possession of a large number of Rogue pilots. They are transferred to Interrogator vessel for interrogation and return to Rogue bases.
Proof of transfer
Also, a number of credits has been donated to the cause.
