Dear Admiral Knight,

Yesterday's operation was a tactical success. I hope you are slowly getting settled. I have taken liberty of establishing a new secure channel between our organizations for the purpose of ongoing coordination of operations and intelligence sharing. Below I also attach two of our internal reports concerning your extraction for tactical analysis by your officers.

Whenever you are ready for another joint-operation, please let us know.

Best regards,
Professor Provocateur

Extraction of Battlegroup Harmony - Operation Report [original source]

Extraction operation of Battlegroup Harmony has been successful. Our wing of fighters piloted by Mr Gustav Graves, Mr Medrano and Mr Nick Nack joined separatist forces in New Hampshire. Mr Graves and Mr Medrano took perimeter positions while Mr Nick Nack accompanied separatists convoy. As expected Liberty Navy sent a small squadron of fighters and bombers to intercept fleeing separatists battleships, however, hostile forces were destroyed without own losses not counting destruction of crippled secondary battleship. Special congratulations go to Mr Nick Nack for his combat performance.

Extraction of Battlegroup Harmony Final - Operation Report [original source]

At 18.00 SMT a Lane Hacker wing consisting of two fighters and one bomber departed from Cochrane Depot in Ontario and rendezvoused with Harmony Battlegroup in Texas, sector 7F. Separatists were safely escorted to Ontario where we regrouped and prepared a strike force. The Lane Hacker wing took point and intercepted group of Liberty Navy ships in New York, which in total during the engagement consisted of two battleships, two gunboats and four fighters including mercenary units. Taking advantage of surprise and enemy's slow reaction time our four fighters focused and destroyed hostile gunboat before dispatching Navy and mercenary fighters one by one . In the meantime, remaining bomber gave support to the Harmony and helped it maintain distance from pursuing battleships. At this point Lane Hacker fighter wing broke off to give place for two incoming heavy bombers, which intercepted remaining Navy battleship within Pittsburgh Debris Field and destroyed it. During operation one Lane Hacker bomber and Harmony fighter were severely damaged. After safe return to base 35 units of recovered data disks were deposited in Lane Hacker R&D.

Miss Hunter,

Thank you for setting this up. I have to say I was most surprised about the effectiveness of the last operation. It seem that we can deal serious damage to the Navy when we coordinate our strikes. I am certain we can arrange in a way that we can repeat these attacks on the Navy.

Should we receive any intel beyond what you already manage to take from the Neural Net and your other sources we will share it with you here. Until then our... arrangement should increase coordination further as well.

Admiral Knight out.

Miss Hunter,

my group is currently being contacted by one Outcast called Gabriella Casta. At first she nearly caused the interruption of one of my patrols, causing it to nearly be caught by the Navy. Now per our agreement we are trying to stay our of any hostilities. But I am curious as to who she is to claim she'd be better suited to supply us than the Hackers or Unioners.

The way she talks feels like she's believing she's very important around here. Before I continue I would like to inquire about her. Who is she? She says she's not welcome at her home so it appears she's not some common Outcast.

Admiral Knight out.

Dear Admiral Knight,

During your career as a high ranked officer of the Liberty Navy you surely must have been briefed on Outcasts and their links with the Liberty underground, including The Lane Hackers. I am also quite certain that you must have been informed at least briefly about the elite 101st Outcast special operations squadron called "Ghosts of Razgriz". They have came to prominence shortly after "Reapers of Sirius" - another para-military entity - were exiled from Malta almost a decade ago. Ghosts were so successful with domestic operations that their administration instantly took over the Council of Dons and basically ruled over Malta for years to come.

Around four years ago, shortly after administration of the Ghosts has been taken over by the Casta family, 101st's influence over Malta started to collapse with the rise of the rival Contari clan. Escalating tensions between these two fueled by frequent shows of utter arrogance eventually led to an outbreak of a civil war. The same unhealthy arrogance and lack of diplomatic skills showed by both Estefania Casta and her sister Gabriella alienated most of 101st's allies. Despite initial achievements on the battlefield, the war left Ghosts weakened and giving up most of their political influence to the Contari Lance and later other great families as well.

The Ghosts' influence and strength diminished over time with the culmination being the banishment of entire remaining squadron and Estefania Casta herself from Malta by the National Council. Besides freezing or confiscation of their assets, a hefty bounty has been established by Fedeltà, current ruling body of Malta, to hunt down Estefania and any 101st still alive. According to our intelligence Casta sisters, besides their most loyal servants and security detachment, are alone in their endevours. Being cut out from funding, supplies and reinforcements they do not posses any strategically viable operational capabilities. To honor almost decade old treaties and years of successful cooperation in the past, the Professorship refused to hunt down Casta sisters and instead decided to ignore them as long as their actions do not directly harm Lane Hacker' interests within Liberty.

As for Gabriella Casta particularly, according to our intelligence, she is a very talented operative with a versatile set of skills. Unfortunately, blood of her family runs deep in her and thus she suffers greatly from the same vices as her sister, namely extreme arrogance, toxic character and strong delusions concerning her actual influence and power. One of my assassins was present in Texas during the incident you spoke of. As I was told she desperately wanted some information on your battlegroup. Looks like she decided to seek information at the source. During the encounter she was using a modified transponder [GoR]. We speculate that she abandoned original transponder [101st] to confuse bounty hunters on her tail, but we cannot confirm it at this point.

I hope you will find these information helpful.

Best regards,
Professor Provocateur
Nicole Hunter

Miss Hunter,

we indeed know about the Outcast operations within Liberty but this one didn't seem like the usual kind we see here. And I didn't expect either that this one was supposed to be one of their former leaders.

Thank you for the updated information, the Navy isn't supplied with that in dept data about these groups. If the Lane Hackers do not work with her and she lost her contacts I see no reason for us to do anything else.

On another topic, what do the Lane Hackers know about Vespucci that you are willing to give out? I have information about DSE working together with the Legion but I am missing any further information about the system as the Navy did.

I don't like being uninformed when I could be.

Admiral Knight out.

Dear Admiral Knight,

The intelligence you ask from us is very sensitive. I do hope though that sharing it with you will also let you understand our initial reservations better. First let me share with you general profile of the Hellfire Legion from our archives.

...live.feed.lost...
...receiving.archive.token...


Hellfire Legion Profile

Hellfire Legion started in 800 AS as a renegade fleet led by Drake Thastus. Shortly after its escape, the Hellfire Legion fleet was ambushed by the Liberty Navy in Magellan. The Lane Hackers, perceiving The Legion as a potential ally in their fight against the Liberty, sent their fighter wings to help the Legionaries to break through the ambush and gave them shelter in a nearby Vespucci system. While The Lane Hackers were helping the Legion to build their infrastructure in the Vespucci system and joined their Spyglass program, Professor Moriarty signed a mutual protection pact with Lord Commander Denelo Mori. However, shortly after Mori's death, the Hellfire Legion radically changed the direction it was heading, severing any relations with the Outcasts and Liberty Rogues, while forming an alliance with the Xenos. The relations between the Legion and The Lane Hackers started to slowly deteriorate with numerous incidents which finally led to Legionaries betraying Hackers and expelling them from Vespucci system. Even though The Lane Hackers tried to maintain neutrality afterwards, occasionally even selling information to the High Command, the Legion's more and more aggressive stance finally led to the outright hostility followed by numerous skirmishes. However, ever since The Hellfire Legion plunged into disarray it is no longer considered a threat to Lane Hacker operations, while their vessels are treated simply as hostile targets of opportunity.

...attachment.completed...
...live.feed.online...


Vespucci is the Hellfire Legion lair. In the past we had almost unlimited access to their facilities there, and vice versa. This came at a cost similar to the ancient Mutual Assured Destruction doctrine. We are hostile to each other and equally valid targets of opportunity, but it is a conventional war and the red button is a measure of the last resort. Therefore the amount of intelligence we can share with you on Vespucci is limited. What is important is that Legion, probably in order to fuel war efforts, created their own slave labor camp on Planet Guadalajara under a facade puppet government of a self-proclaimed "Commonwealth of Liberty". We do know of two entrance jump-holes leading to Vespucci, one located in Magellan and the other in Kansas. Due to high-profile presence of the "Commonwealth" their location is no longer secret and we can share it with you. Any further intelligence on Vespucci you will have to gather yourself. If I were you I would put my best-yet-still-expendable spy on a slave shipment going to Guadalajara. They call them "refugee resettlement".

As for the Deep Space Engineering collusion with the Hellfire Legion, we had some signs of it in the past and obviously will welcome any hard evidence that could be leaked to the right ears for maximum damage. Please do share as much as you can.

Best regards,
Professor Provocateur
Nicole Hunter

Miss Hunter,

thank you for the intel. This is the kind of information I hoped for. I should give the jump hole locations out to my vessels. I don't want to be surprised by the back stabbing legion in Liberty.

And as I already mentioned, we do have actual hard evidence for the DSE cooperating with the Legion. I'll send you the report from my pilot.

Admiral Knight,

Speaking on behalf of The Lane Hackers, thank you likewise for the information. I'm sure it would be put into good use.

I am writting primarally, however, to inform you about the Scientific Data you have shared with us to provide some results. We are currently re-evaluating the data and processing it and it will be soon sent to you in the near future in fuller form. The professorship, however, wanted to share with you part of our findings:

Seeing that schematic reminds me of the weapons we took out of the system which had been shortly accessible from Hudson. If it helps your people can take a look at it. We saved more data those odd AI ships were guarding in those stations there.

But I am here to ask something else of the Hackers. We are facing issues in the combat effectiveness and maintenance of the Harmony herself. My own engineers and technicians are already talking with the Unioner's. But they admit themselves that Liberty technology, especially scanners and internals are far beyond their expertise.

I would like to know if your group is willing to assist our refitting of the ship. She's got more meaning beyond her combat capability, giving name to our remaining Battlegroup and symbolising our strength even in our current situation.

Admiral Knight out.
