Greetings
My name is Jack Denton, I am an Independant Researcher and amatuer inventor. Recently I met with a representative from Ageira Technologies to sell the results of my research. The representative cheated me and fled with the information. Fortunatly I recorded the exchange:
---Beginning Audio Recording---
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Well, we meet at last.
Jack_Denton: Greetings
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: As you have no doubt guessed, I am Kasper Martin
Jack_Denton: Indeed, nice to meet you in person
Jack _Denton: Do you wish to move further away from these bounty hunters?
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Allow me to reiterate how happy we are that you came to us
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Yes let's get some space
Jack_Denton: Head for Nauru
Jack_Denton: this should be sufficient
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: yes indeed
Jack_Denton: So down to business, I will begin the download if you wish
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Yes, please begin. This is a dangerous system.
Jack_Denton: ---Download commencing---
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: I have your credits right here in a sealed, scanner-proof case
Jack_Denton: ---Download Complete---
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Now for your payment'¦
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Enjoy!
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Blast
Jack_Denton: all crew to battle stations
Jack_Denton: darn this ship
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Haha!
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: I've disrupted your cruise engines
Jack_Denton: I want cruise engines online now!
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: You'll never catch me
Jack_Denton: You will hear from me again Ageira scum
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: We couldn't have anyone exposing our secrets
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Sorry buddy
Jack_Denton: You have not heard the last of me, you will find that the access codes to the Privas probes have been changed
Jack_Denton: At least you will not get that information
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: What? No!
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Damn you!
Jack_Denton: we will see how well you can understand the technology without the scans from Privas!
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: You'¦ thief and spy!
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Don't expect a warm welcome in Liberty'¦
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: or any of the places we call home.
Jack_Denton: It will sadden me to leave my homeland but so be it
Jack_Denton: You may be interested to know that I recorded our encounter, I thought it wise in case something like this happened'¦
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: No one will believe you, some random stranger
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: over the words of our prestigious corporation.
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: You stole our data, and I recovered it.
Jack_Denton: Still'¦ it would be a big coincidence if your company made such startling advances just after I show this footage around wouldn't it?
Jack_Denton: Especially considering the research logs of mine available on the neural net if anyone wanted to check'¦
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: No one will ever know the truth'¦ once we silence you, once and for all.
Jack_Denton: It would be an interesting experience for all involved I think'¦
Jack_Denton: if your company should openly attack me
Jack_Denton: I may look frail but rest assured I am not a shabby pilot
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: We'll see how you face against some of the best-paid pilots in Sirius.
Jack_Denton: You forget I have an advantage'¦ The JHCs'¦ I can move at will around Sirius'¦ within limitations of course
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: We'll be waiting for you, Jack Denton
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: I have little else to say to a thief.
Jack_Denton: Likewise'¦ It is a shame our relationship had to end this way'¦it could have been a fruitful partnership
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Enjoy life while you can, Denton
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: and remember'¦ it's nothing personal
Jack_Denton: 'the future doesn't exist, the past never happened, all that matters is the present
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: *you hear a chuckling* Goodbye
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: {{CONTACT TERMINATED}}
---Audio Recording finished---
I thought Ageira's treachery should be uncovered, this is why I come to you. As you can see, not only does he steal my work, he also threatens my life. Please send me a message on this channel if you have any questions.

Huh. Now this, this right here is interesting. Do you have any solid guncams, evidence like that? I'd love to take your word for it, and a juicy lead is brilliant news, but I wouldn't be a good reporter if I didn't find and field just the facts. I'll be looking into this either way, don't you worry.

Unfortunately I did not have the presence of mind to take any guncam shots. Things were hectic at the time, my ship was still... well its still a work in progress so to speak. Many of the subsystems such as energy weapons, long range scanners, etc are not online currently,the cruise engines were only just made operational an hour before the meeting and my engineering team were still ironing out the kinks. When the cruise disruptor hit it shorted out a lot of circuitry that we hadn't had time to properly reinforce. Our systems went haywire and by the time we had regained control enough to give chase, the Ageira ship was gone.
However, i can send you proof that it was I who designed the device, I have backups of the information and I could send you a portion it. Not the whole thing though, it's not that I think you untrustworthy, from what I have heard of you you are a good person, it's just that... well I'm sure you understand if I am not very trusting at the moment.

Of course, of course. I'll take whatever you can give. But first, it might be worth sharing exactly -what- we're talking about here. That log may be pretty, but it gives absolutely zero insight into what was actually happening, and I'd like to get as much information as possible before this goes on air.

Here is an explanation of the more ambiguous points mentioned in the recording.
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Well, we meet at last.
Jack_Denton: Greetings
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: As you have no doubt guessed, I am Kasper Martin
Jack_Denton: Indeed, nice to meet you in person
((we had been discussing the details of the deal for some time over a secure neural net channel, this was the first time I had seen him in person))
Jack _Denton: Do you wish to move further away from these bounty hunters?
((some Bounty hunters guild ships had taken offense at his presence, I don't know why, and began to shoot him))
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Allow me to reiterate how happy we are that you came to us
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Yes let's get some space
Jack_Denton: Head for Nauru
((Nauru is a planet that I had seen in the distance, it was relatively deserted on the dark side))
Jack_Denton: this should be sufficient
((we arrived at Nauru))
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: yes indeed
Jack_Denton: So down to business, I will begin the download if you wish
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Yes, please begin. This is a dangerous system.
Jack_Denton: ---Download commencing---
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: I have your credits right here in a sealed, scanner-proof case
Jack_Denton: ---Download Complete---
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Now for your payment'¦
((he sent over a case filled with credit cards, however the credits contained in the case were orders of magnitude smaller than we had agreed on, somewhere to the tune of 195 million less))
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Enjoy!
((at this point he shot a cruise disrupter at my ship and charged his own cruise engines))
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Blast
((a small patrol of nomads intercepted his ship and fired apon him, however he easily escaped them))
Jack_Denton: all crew to battle stations
Jack_Denton: darn this ship
((this is around the point where we regained control of the ship and started to give chase, unfortunately our cruise engines were crippled by the damage caused by the cruise disrupter))
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Haha!
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: I've disrupted your cruise engines
Jack_Denton: I want cruise engines online now!
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: You'll never catch me
Jack_Denton: You will hear from me again Ageira scum
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: We couldn't have anyone exposing our secrets
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Sorry buddy
Jack_Denton: You have not heard the last of me, you will find that the access codes to the Privas probes have been changed
Jack_Denton: At least you will not get that information
((the Privas planetary cluster is a planetary formation in Gallia, it consists of four large planets in a stable orbit around a small planetoid, my studies of the cluster showed that it was in fact an artificial phenomenon created by the Daam K'Vosh. The probes I used to conduct the research are still inside the planets and can be accessed remotely using a special code, when accessed they can be used to scan the planets in real time.))
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: What? No!
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Damn you!
Jack_Denton: we will see how well you can understand the technology without the scans from Privas!
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: You'¦ thief and spy!
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Don't expect a warm welcome in Liberty'¦
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: or any of the places we call home.
Jack_Denton: It will sadden me to leave my homeland but so be it
Jack_Denton: You may be interested to know that I recorded our encounter, I thought it wise in case something like this happened'¦
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: No one will believe you, some random stranger

Jack_Denton: if your company should openly attack me
Jack_Denton: I may look frail but rest assured I am not a shabby pilot
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: We'll see how you face against some of the best-paid pilots in Sirius.
Jack_Denton: You forget I have an advantage'¦ The JHCs'¦ I can move at will around Sirius'¦ within limitations of course
((JHC stands for Jump Hole Creation device, this is the technology I was selling Airgea. The device allows the creation of an artificial Jump Hole connected to any other Jump Hole in Sirius. In effect it allows one to move from one side of Sirius to the other almost instantly. You can see why Airgea would want the technology.))
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: We'll be waiting for you, Jack Denton
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: I have little else to say to a thief.
Jack_Denton: Likewise'¦ It is a shame our relationship had to end this way'¦it could have been a fruitful partnership
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Enjoy life while you can, Denton
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: and remember'¦ it's nothing personal
Jack_Denton: 'the future doesn't exist, the past never happened, all that matters is the present
((this is something my friend once told me, it seemed an appropriate quote))
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: *you hear a chuckling* Goodbye
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: {{CONTACT TERMINATED}}
I think that is everything ambiguous explained, if not please point it out to me and I will explain it.
Here are my research logs on the Privas cluster and a sample of the JHC schematics.

That gives me a much clearer picture. I'm already looking into this, and it seems i'm not the only one. Don't worry, I'll keep you posted on this one. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, as soon as I have all the facts, I'll put this right up. Should you ever need me, You can either reach me by channel, or seek me out on Barrier Gate. I spend a lot of time in the bar there.

Thank you again for airing the story, it was my hope that with the news spread Ageira would back down to save face. Unfortunately that does not appear to have happened, I received earlier today a message from Ageira, it reads:
Your docking rights have been revoked
You will pay for your treachery
Go hide while you still can
You will pay for your treachery
Go hide while you still can
Nevertheless your help is verymuch appreciated.

Not a problem, my friend. Not at all. I just hope you don't get into any more trouble. Good luck out there, Denton.
