3 x 4990 units of High Performance Alloy delivered. We met a Rogue flying Bactrian on a trade lane between Fort Bush and Manhattan. A rather strange encounter I must say.
Half.Baked.Hellhound: Hey you!
DSE)Samaritan: Kane: What's up?
Half.Baked.Hellhound: Uhm... Money or your life!
DSE)Sherpa: Nick: Hm, gotta put in another work order for that lane.
Half.Baked.Hellhound: HELLO... IS THIS THING ON
DSE)Buckingham: Hello! We can read you.
Half.Baked.Hellhound: Hello00o0o0o
DSE)Sherpa: Nick: Yeah, sounds like it.
Half.Baked.Hellhound: Oh right. Whaddya carrying?
DSE)Sherpa: Nick: Bunch of rocks.
DSE)Samaritan: Kane: Yeah well... the usual stuff.
Half.Baked.Hellhound: Can I have some?
DSE)Samaritan: Kane: What will you do with Boron?
Half.Baked.Hellhound: I don't know. What do you usually do with it?
DSE)Samaritan: Kane: We distribute it throughout Sirius.
Half.Baked.Hellhound: Ahh the cops are everywhere.
DSE)Sherpa: Nick: Mind the lanes.
DSE)Samaritan: Kane: Did he... just leave? Like that?
DSE)Sherpa: Nick: Yeah, weird.
DSE)Buckingham: Yes, he's not on my scanners anymore.
DSE)Samaritan: Kane: I won't wait for him to come back.
DSE)Sherpa: Nick: Sounds good to me.

Today was once again not without problems. Let's start off with a mysterious Lane Hacker known as Mr. Yoshida who tried to extort sensitive informations from me. And he succeeded, partially. This happened in Colorado, near the NY JG:
Mr.Yoshida:: You are just in time. Move to C-7 Sector now... Do it now! Do not force me to take extreme measures.
DSE)Samaritan: Kane: Oh, damn...
Mr.Yoshida:: C-7 Sector. Cruise there. Now. 5 seconds.
DSE)Samaritan: Kane: Okay... let me just... *beep*... What's the problem?... What do you want, hacker?
Mr.Yoshida:: First, I'd like to remind you that calling any law enforcement will result in your immediate annihilation.
DSE)Samaritan: Kane: Noted.
Mr.Yoshida:: I want to talk first. Then we will discuss your release. All will depend on your cooperation.
DSE)Samaritan: Kane: I have no reason to not cooperate. I'm not armed.
Mr.Yoshida:: We are good here... Your name first. And rank within the DSE.
DSE)Samaritan: Peter Kane. Logistics Department. We don't have ranks there.
Mr.Yoshida:: So there is noone who leads that department?
DSE)Samaritan: There is, yes.
Mr.Yoshida:: But apparently this is not you, I presume.
DSE)Samaritan: That is right.
Mr.Yoshida:: So I presume you are another low-paid worker of the DSE. Is that correct?
DSE)Samaritan: I'm not complaining about my salary if that's your point.
Mr.Yoshida:: Interesting. Moving on, where were you heading to?
DSE)Samaritan: Pueblo Station, which I am sure you know very well.
Mr.Yoshida:: I have worked in Pueblo for some time, that's true. What were you going to do there? Move Parts?
DSE)Samaritan: Yes, I was about to pick some trade lane parts.
Mr.Yoshida:: And which would have been your final destination?
DSE)Samaritan: That is confidential to me until I arrive to Pueblo. Standard protocol. So honestly, I don't know.
Mr.Yoshida:: Of course... We are moving to the second part of our discussion.
DSE)Samaritan: What would that be?
Mr.Yoshida:: You have recently constructed a base near Toronto. Explain to me what it is used for.
DSE)Samaritan: That base belongs to one of our subsidiaries.
Mr.Yoshida:: Which one?
DSE)Samaritan: Swellendam, Inc. I don't have much knowledge about it.
Mr.Yoshida:: Do they use a specific tag their ships?
DSE)Samaritan: As far as I know... *beeping*.... yeah, I think so.
Mr.Yoshida:: Which is?
DSE)Samaritan: Why do you ask? What is your point?
Mr.Yoshida:: Information. Don't ask back. Or equipment from your unarmored ship will start to fall.
DSE)Samaritan: Their tag is [SWD].
Mr.Yoshida:: I see. It strikes me as odd that as a logistics employee you do not know the purpose of that base. Especially when we have seen DSE) members using it.
DSE)Samaritan: That's all I know, really. I have delivered couple of hauls there, but I haven't stayed for longer than a cup of coffee. I don't know locals there. Absolutely.
Mr.Yoshida:: Does the base sell anything? Since you have visited the dealers, you will certainly know.
DSE)Samaritan: I don't think so, no. Not yet. The base is young. They're still accomodating.
Mr.Yoshida:: Moving on.
DSE)Samaritan: (nervous mumbling)
Mr.Yoshida:: I want you to inform me of DSE assets within Alberta system except the two battle stations near the mining field.
DSE)Samaritan: Assets? Do you mean pilots, ships operating in Alberta?
Mr.Yoshida:: Yes. Bases, Barge, anything useful that you have there. Except the occasional DSE) ship. I do not care about that.
DSE)Samaritan: Yeah well, as you know about the bases there is no point of fogging anything. We have couple of miners there, that's for sure.
Mr.Yoshida:: No other bases?
DSE)Samaritan: No other.
Mr.Yoshida:: Final question. And most important. I want you to describe to me the contract that DSE) has with the [Knight].
DSE)Samaritan: I would have to check my neural net. If that's okay with you. I am not in direct contact with [Knight].
Mr.Yoshida:: And the routes that the [Knight] ships use in Alberta. If you tell the truth I am willing to avoid extorting DSE ships there... Yes. Access the net.
DSE)Samaritan: (walking to the nearby monitor)... *beeping*... (walking back to his seat) A pretty simple contract, to be honest.
Mr.Yoshida:: Which is?
DSE)Samaritan: We sell them platinum ore from the base and in return they bring back some commodities necessary for smooth running of the base.
Mr.Yoshida:: I see. Now inform me about the second part of my question.
DSE)Samaritan: And their route is standard. From Ontario JG, newly built, to Camrose and from there to the bases. It's the safest route through Alberta. But you know that already I take it.
Mr.Yoshida:: I will confirm it and see if you are telling the truth or not. Because of your cooperation, there will be no tax excemption in your case.
DSE)Samaritan: Thank you.
Mr.Yoshida:: Despite what our Operations Manual say.
DSE)Samaritan: May I return to my waypoint? I'm way behind the schedule.
Mr.Yoshida:: If you come across more juicy intel, and you wish to increase your meager salary, you know where to contact me.
DSE)Samaritan: Eh... okay.
Mr.Yoshida:: You may go back to your boring life. Your few moments of pure excitement have just ended.
Later on in Shikoku I was disrupted by 3 pirates, namely LR-Protect.Ya.Neck, LR-Leopard and Chioru'. Fortunately, all they needed was a little contribution to their wallets:
LR-Protect.Ya.Neck: Heyo!
LR-Protect.Ya.Neck: How 'bout ya hold on fo' now!
DSE)Samaritan: Kane: Stop shooting CD's! I ain't going anywhere.
LR-Protect.Ya.Neck: Oooh, he's got coffee. Who's thirsty?
LR-Leopard: Won't let you either.
Chioru': Good lad.
LR-Leopard: I need some of your cargo as well... that sunbucks coffee.
DSE)Samaritan: Kane: Yeah, you can have some Sunbucks, no problem.
LR-Leopard: Give me those... and 2 millions as well... Now cash? Or I push the trigger?
DSE)Samaritan: Kane: You're stressing me out...
LR-Protect.Ya.Neck: We got guns, ya' don't mess wit' guns!
LR-Leopard: 1...2...
DSE)Samaritan: Kane: Please, stop shooting.
LR-Leopard: Okay, then pay.
You have sent 2.000.000 credits to LR-Leopard.
LR-Leopard: Good boy... he paid.
DSE)Samaritan: Kane: You really have some good persuasive methods.
LR-Protect.Ya.Neck: Hah! Fight against the man!
LR-Leopard: Okay, go.
DSE)Samaritan: Kane: Enjoy the coffee...
LR-Protect.Ya.Neck: Will do!
Chioru': Have a nice day DSE!
After my return to Liberty I was joined by two of my colleagues from Logistics Department. We loaded up our cargo and set off on the route. Needless to say we met another 2 pirates in Shikoku: a Rogue veteran flying Scylla destroyer accompanied with a Rogue flying Bactrian we met yesterday. This fella likes to call his Bactrian "Hellhound" which is rather funny. Here is the whole encounter as recorded:
Kane.Bridgeman: Hi, Sam! 1 mil this time!
Half.Baked.Hellhound: Hiya!
DSE)Samaritan: Kane: Okay, you can call me Sam. So we're not confused.
Kane.Bridgeman: Hey trader, are you with Sam?
DSE)Antei: I'll tell you.
Kane.Bridgeman: Okay... haha! A lot of ships now.
Half.Baked.Hellhound: MONEY OR YOUR LIFE!
Kane.Bridgeman: Hound, you go to the others behind us.
Half.Baked.Hellhound: Yea I'm on it.
Kane.Bridgeman: Now, DSE pay 1 mil, trader pay 2 mil.
DSE)Samaritan: Okay, just a moment. We don't need trouble, do we?
Kane.Bridgeman: Not if you cooperate.
Half.Baked.Hellhound: Go on, empty your wallets.
DSE)Samaritan: Working on it... damnit... *beeping*
Kane.Bridgeman: But do hurry.
DSE)Samaritan: Okay, how much was it?
Kane.Bridgeman: 1 mil, and 2 mil from the trader.
Half.Baked.Hellhound: Kane, I don't think these guys have any money.
Kane.Bridgeman: Hound, set a price of 1 mil.
DSE)Samaritan: Alright...
DSE)Antei: We do...
Half.Baked.Hellhound: GIVE 1MIL!
You have sent 1.000.000 credits to Kane.Bridgeman.
Kane.Bridgeman: Sam, you and your mate may leave.
You have sent 1.000.000 credits to Half.Baked.Hellhound.
DSE)Samaritan: Very well then...

I was brutally attacked by an AI cruiser in New Tokio. Without a shred of warning. Probably a malfunction or critical error on AI side. Anyway, the damage on my Shetland is huge, engineers at Baltimore said it will take couple of days till they fix critical optronic systems.

here: Core 3 Upgrade / DSE)Samaritan, DSE)Antei, DSE)Heimertrans - convoy routing
As result of the raising criminal threats en route to Kusarii and back, we decided to escort the convoys and patrol the routes to Honshu system via Kepler and back. Patrols brought few evidence of Hacker presence in Colorado. Unfortunately in Shikoku there exists a slightly hightened danger of tradelane disruption by heavy pirate ships. The Security Division is momentarily not capable to manage this problem.
Flying recon and point to alternative routes to avoid encouters is the only option. The pirate presence is expected to be too heavily armed against escort class vessels. Transport captains are advised to seek naval forces' aid at Colorado border, Kepler and Shikoku or request IC| / Knight Industries security for additional backup.

Subject: Maltese, Rheinlanders
I was moving my CTE "Eagle" vessel from Norfolk to Westpoint Military Academy, when I noticed a Maltese Fighter between those two space objects. Golden Chrysanthemum transponder, CQ "Rapier" vessel equipped with "Wyrm" class weapons and "Paralyzer" type missile. I tried to send a ping to Navy and Police officers, with no success, so I tried to take down this guy on my own. Later in Mahattan's perimeter, LPI officer joined me and we together finished this already damaged Maltese fighter. 1:0 for Deep Space Engineering.
Few minutes later, I saw same LPI officer running to the Texas gate, so I followed in hope I could re-pay my favor from earlier. Well we found Rheinland pirates or terrorists between Houston and New York gate and these guys attacked us once our Gunboat had arrived. Gunboat was down shortly after, Officer few seconds after Gunboat and I remained alone against them. Luckily they sent just one guy after me and well, both fighters were destroyed. I am really sorry and I hope you can help me to obtain new "Eagle" class.
