The Poison Apple - Nicole Hunter - 08-17-2014 ...hack.initiated...decryption.in.progress... ...Mactan.Headquarters.recognized...transmission.encrypted... ...uploading.data... The Poison Apple It has been several days since The Lane Hackers utilized the superbomber in Liberty for the first time. After initial astonishing success of the operation Devil's Decimator things were not looking as good as expected. Incredibly strong and unique energy signature of the powercore was practically making it impossible to hide the ship and use standard Lane Hacker operational methods. Nearly every naval officer and mercenary in Liberty was after the superbomber and each time it was harder to break off and escape the pursuit. In one of such ambushes the Lane Hackers had to sacrifice lives of several Liberty Rogues in order to buy enough time for the superbomber to escape. Inside Mactan Headquarters Lane Hacker professor was discussing the matter with her trusted accomplice. - How close it was? - Too close. It is only a matter of time before they catch us, Professor. - I know. - And this is least of our concerns. - The powercore? - Mr Drake and Mr Carnifex completed analyzing data gathered during first reassembling. Those seven singularity engines are not stable. The powercore produces more energy than the ship can ever use. Once a... - ...a critical mass is achieved gravity stabilizers will get desynchronized and a chain reaction will create a supernova or a black hole, possibly destroying entire star system. Ageira had the same problem. How long before it happens? - Week, possibly two. It's impossible to predict accurately. Professor stood up and started walking inside the command chamber. Suddenly she stopped and smiled when a spark signifying an extremely mischievous idea appeared in her eyes. - Mr Scorpius, please prepare a secure channel to Flottillenadmiral Kai Siegfried. - ...what? *** - Guten Abend, Frau Hunter. It's been too long. How are things in Liberty? - Guten Abend, Herr Siegfried. Indeed it was. But I am sure that you are as well informed as I am, if not better. They both laughed cordially for a moment, before the leader of das Büro der Marineintelligenz changed his tone. - In my line of work we always look for alternative sources of information. For instance, recently I heard a crazy rumor about a certain bomber decimating entire Liberty fleets in a matter of minutes, supposedly flown by a Lane Hacker. Would you believe that? - It's not a rumor. And we are handing over the superbomber to the Rheinwehr. Admiral couldn't hide his astonishment but he recovered very quickly. After all he was a professional spy. - And why would The Lane Hackers want to do such a thing? - The superbomber is trapped in New York and everyone in Liberty is looking for it. It is only a matter of time before it falls into Teerin's hands. I think we wouldn't want that to happen, would we? - Forgive my bluntness, but what, besides making Admiral Teerin unhappy, there is in it for you? Obviously, you're not giving it to us out of your good heart. - Rheinland will neither reproduce it nor win the war with it, but certainly a number of wreckages belonging to Liberty Navy will rise in border systems. Liberty Navy is the backbone of the government and we want to see it weakened. Rheinland will deliver it with the superbomber better than we could ever imagine to accomplish ourselves. - This is almost too good to be true. What is the catch? - Even if there is one, you have too much to gain to walk away from such an opportunity, Herr Siegfried. So let us get past these formalities and discuss the details of the extraction... Operation Poison Apple - Nicole Hunter - 08-17-2014 ...hack.initiated...decryption.in.progress... ...Professor.Nicole.Hunter.recognized...transmission.encrypted... ...uploading.data... Operation Poison Apple Liberty forces were aware of Rheinland planned attack and prepared a defense of Texas gate in New York. However, even use of cloaked carriers and battleships did not tip the scale of battle into 5th Liberty Navy Fleet favor. Slowly, Rheinlanders and their mercenaries gained the upper-hand after most of capital ships on both sides were destroyed, Admiral Jack O'Neil ordered retreat and regrouping, which allowed Rheinland Forces led by Admiral Daniela Winter to fortify position at Hudson Jumpgate in Texas and let the superbomber escape New York. In the meantime Liberty Navy mounted a quick reaction force at Planet Houston and thanks to very cunning use of cloaked heavy hitters they managed to overrun Rheinland forces at the gate, while Faze mercenaries wiped out remaining Rheinland bombers. Thor was still trapped in Texas, so Admiral Daniela Winter decided to regroup remaining forces in Bering and storm Texas again. This time weakened Liberty Navy forces, suffering from temporary cloak malfunction could not resist Rheinland onslaught. One by one all Liberty capital ships were destroyed and Rheinland forces remained in control of the gate for long enough to allow the superbomber reach Freeport 2. From there the superbomber was escorted to New Berlin. After updating transponder codes through secret jumphole the ship was transported to secure location. RE: The Lane Hacker Internal Comms - Irina Sedova - 08-22-2014 ...hack.initiated...decryption.in.progress... ...Irina.Sedova.recognized...transmission.encrypted... ...uploading.data... Dear Hackers, here I am, making my first report. After arriving at Mactan headquarters, and taking a look around, I grabbed one of the low-end shuttles and headed towards Montezuma base and do the Rogues a couple of favors, since I had to be welcomed by them anyways. It was nothing particular, they just wanted me to get rid of some Bounty Hunters here and there. When I finished blowing up the Bounty Hunters, I could finally afford a ship that doesn't fall apart after taking two shots to the hull. Needless to say, it didn't prove much of a challenge hacking the IFF transmitter. Later, I was on the way to Pennsylvania. Went to check out if there was any traffic going on, and ran into a surprise. At first, the self-proclaimed "captain" started tailing me. That was, until an LPI officer appeared and followed me all the way to that Rogue base. I felt bad for being unable to offer him donuts. We had a rather unfriendly conversation, and then, the unexpected turn of events. A Navy warship blasting through the asteroids, and all that effort just to blow up a freighter. As the battlecruiser was approaching, the base defenses started melting its shield. I decided it would probably be a good idea to dock and show them how much time and resources they wasted, trying to capture me. In conclusion: Navy secondary fleet "captains" are highly imprudent, willing to risk their entire ship and crew in order to destroy something as small as a freighter. They, or at least most of them, show the lack of ability to comprehend the basics of our language.

RE: The Lane Hacker Internal Comms - Dr.Perseus.Friend - 08-27-2014 ...hack.initiated...decryption.in.progress... ...Dr.Perseus.Friend.recognized...transmission.encrypted... ...uploading.data... Well, what I can say, quite buys day was yesterday. When I finished the full test of my ship and done the reglementry hacks, I was contacted by Mr. Scorpius, which told me there could be a possible target in California, so I decided to join him along the way. When I arrived there was a Junker Slavager and an independent Pirat Gunboat, which had 2 gunboat captain and some pilots and prisoners. After the Junker decided to be genuine and help us with a small token of friendship. Then Mr. Scorpius asked him nicely to hand over the Gunboat Captains, but he denied so he was engaged and soon died... So I got the Captains pods and decided to hand them over to a Interogation Vessel. Then later that day we decided to go to Colorado and we managed to get two transports filled with Helium-3 saying that they were headed to Kusary...Mr. Scorpius decided to let me to lead the extortion up on me, so I decided to ask for the both of them a total of 5 million. Later that day, when Professor Hunter decides to bring her fighter in, we got contacted by Cereulean'Reaver and asked if we could help with an engagement of a group of mercenaries entitled"Faze", but when we gather around, we were outnumbered and I got wounded by a lucky mine left in space. Since Ms. Hunter wasn't shot, she managed to tractor my escape pod and take me to a medical facility to be treated. ...encryption.in.progress...hack.terminated...

The people of the Hacker, a new day unfolds for me today.I could call it a lucky day , since I managed to catch 2 separatists, a DSE tagged vessel in Pennsylvania and a USI tagged vessel. The DSE vessel, besides having a third of his cargo hold with random commodities, I managed to find a load of Reinforced Alloys. So I asked the deliver sight of the cargo, and I simply got told to a base near planet Pittsburgh Planet, which lead to me asking him for 1Million out of his total profit, but what had amazed me was the fact that he quickly decided to give me the money and say that many of us ask more than I did. The USI vessel on the other hand was mining helium in the field with a Stork Class Ship, which had a rater odd equipment; mining turrets. He was somewhere near the maximum capacity of his cargo, so my demand was simply 2 million credits.As many of them do, they quite like my demands and never complain but just simply pay and make me happy. What I am interested in is this fact: -When I was on my way to the field I have seen two bases one near the other so I was curious if I could gather more data about them and aswell the base which the DSE vessel was heading to.Those bases may be a big point of interest for us and probably it is a main point of profit for those selfish greedy bastards which lead those companies.

RE: The Lane Hacker Internal Comms - Irina Sedova - 08-30-2014 ...hack.initiated...decryption.in.progress... ...Irina.Sedova.recognized...transmission.encrypted... ...uploading.data... Definitely an interesting chain of events has happened today. As I was moving from Mactan to Alcatraz depot, I ran into a Freelancer hauling hundreds of nuclear devices. As I attempted to stop him by disrupting a trade lane and firing a cruise disruptor, the Freelancer immediately opened fire on me. I'd prefer avoiding violence, but since he was asking for it, I gave him violence. Naturally, I followed professor Hunter's instructions and supplied Alcatraz with the nuclear devices that were in my possession. After arriving at RV location, I caught a snapshot of an LSF agent which the Navy officer apparently wasn't happy to see. Maybe a better look should be taken over the LSF agents with D9 tag in their IFF transmitters. After that, it was about to get really crowded, and our position was quickly compromised and we were ridiculously outgunned. Thanks to professor and her intuition, it wasn't long before an Ageira vessel ran straight into me. Few minutes later, my backup arrived and we attempted to extort the most arrogant Ageira employee I have ever met. The extortion did not go through, and the vessel opened fire on Hacker ships. The captain of the Universal vessel tried to bribe me, however, I do not accept bribes. The Ageira scum chose his fate, and soon enough, he faced his reckless decision. By the end of that event, a Navy gunboat captain thought it would be a good idea to follow us into the Badlands and he opened fire as soon as he got close enough. Needless to say, we neutralized his vessel and left to Buffalo. That is all for today. ...encryption.in.progress...hack.terminated... RE: The Lane Hacker Internal Comms - Irina Sedova - 09-01-2014 ...hack.initiated...decryption.in.progress... ...Irina.Sedova.recognized...transmission.encrypted... ...uploading.data... Dear Hackers, it wasn't long ago since my last report, but here I am, again. While I was making my way from Buffalo back to Mactan base, I ran across an Ageira vessel. I immediately stopped the transport and scanned its cargo hold. The corporate lapdog proved to be surprisingly cooperative and did not attempt to run. I asked for a donation of three million credits and even though he was attempting to bargain, I convinced him that he had no means of defense, and that his ship was at stake. After giving some thought to it, the lapdog made a wise decision. As soon as the credits were wired to my account, a Vigilante appeared out of nowhere. I remained calm and managed to perform a successful lanescape, leaving the Vigilante empty-handed. I must admit, the aptitude training proved to be really useful, as it saved me from a lot of trouble. Needless to say, I had to change my plan and move to Alcatraz depot. That is all from me, I'm sending my regards. ...encryption.in.progress...hack.terminated... RE: The Lane Hacker Internal Comms - Sun Liang-tan - 09-06-2014 ...hack.initiated...decryption.in.progress... ...Initiate.Sun.Liang-tan.recognized...transmission.encrypted... ...uploading.data... Tutors, I would like to submit intelligence gathered yesterday from the three UTC Interspace vessels Vladimir Scorpius, Irina Sedova and I encountered yesterday. Below you will find detailed scans of their ships and equipment, and following that I will briefly analyze the targets: UTC|-James.Vega[PD] UTC|-Dorian.Zeta UTC|-Jason.Ward The first, James Vega, was a chatterbox. As seen is his cargo hold, he has a weakness for alcohol. Perhaps that is what makes him so talkative. He pilots a CTU-7f 'Raven's Talon' VHF, and uses a standard Flashpoint loadout, but with one added Cannonball missile. The usage of a missile on the ship could suggest that we are dealing with a pilot who has difficulties aiming and hitting his target, and that could be the reason he chooses to sacrifice one of his guns for a launcher with limited ammunition. The ship is also fitted with a Reinforced Cruise Disruptor, which could indicate that the pilot is familiar with the infamous mine trap, but have problems executing it to perfection. He might also have a weakness against mines, and that could be the reason why he is using the heaviest cruise disruptor available on the market. The ship is fitted with a blackmarket CNDU engine. Dorian Zeta... I don't know what to say about this one. Whenever he spoke, it would seem incoherent and off the mark. It might be a corporate ploy, but in truth I just think this pilot suffers from limited mental capacities. He pilots a CTU-6b 'Waran' Civilian bomber, fitted with an Antimatter Cannon, a Nova Torpedo Launcher and a loadout of two EMP cannons and four Energy Cannons or Turrets. Like James Vega, he uses a Reinforced Cruise disruptor and Screamer Mines, which again could indicate that he is familiar with the mine trap, but have difficulties executing it. The ship is fitted with a blackmarket CNOS engine. Jason Ward showed on the scene later, suggesting that he might have been called in as backup. As such, he is likely to be the most combat-capable of the three. He pilots a Renzu Corp 'Sutinga' VHF. He carries a Flashpoint loadout similar to that of James Vega, but with a Sidewinder Missile Launcher instead of a Cannonball. The pilot opts for a Mosquito Cruise Disruptor, which could be an indication of him having some knowledge of combat operations. The ship is fitted with an A-J8 engine. This concludes my report. I hope it can be of some help, and that the views put forth in my assessments are shared to some extent by our more seasoned members and skilled Assassins. ...encryption.in.progress...hack.terminated...
