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 combatperformance.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 numerousincidents 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.

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.
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.
As I was ordered I checke out part of our route and then went to check on the situation in the outer Liberty systems.
In the Kansas system I found a DSE Transport that was apparently shipping for an installation that supported the mining operation in the system. They told me they mined copper and an incoming mining vessel confirmed that as its hold was full of copper ore.
DSE seems to still hold a grudge that their repair ship got caught in the crossfire and they are not happy with the Libertonian government. They seem to think of themselves as independent and now work as much with the Hellfire Legion as the real government. Apart from that I didn't notice anything special and I will take my rest now to be ready for the fleet movement later.
Please pardon the delay, it wasn't easy to fly back around all the patrols.
[29.11.2016 20:15:07] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Howdy.
[29.11.2016 20:15:16] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: Hm. Hello.

[29.11.2016 20:18:59] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: What mining?
[29.11.2016 20:19:10] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: From everyone who is anyone in around these parts.
[29.11.2016 20:19:27] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: That'd be copper ore.
[29.11.2016 20:19:45] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: Hmh you wouldn't mind telling me the location of that mining operation?
[29.11.2016 20:19:58] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: However we are currently working on upgrading our mining outpost here, Lansing Logisical center.
[29.11.2016 20:20:04] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Well you can sorta see it from here
[29.11.2016 20:20:17] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: The mining outpost?
[29.11.2016 20:20:24] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Ugh.. yes.
[29.11.2016 20:21:00] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: I don't really.
[29.11.2016 20:21:41] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Well.. After that particular incident in New York, a memo was sent out
[29.11.2016 20:21:51] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: To watch out for your ships and avoid contact.
[29.11.2016 20:22:04] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: So I'm not really sure if I feel like.. saying anything more ?
[29.11.2016 20:22:33] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: Well I was being rather friendly and there's nothing behind finding out about it right now.
[29.11.2016 20:22:49] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: For now all I did was stop a transport to ask about their intentions.
[29.11.2016 20:23:11] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: *nervous laughter* is that transport now free to be on its way ?
[29.11.2016 20:23:24] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: After they told me what I wanted to know of course.
[29.11.2016 20:23:34] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: You know you don't seem very well armed for a place so far out.
[29.11.2016 20:23:53] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Well our.. ugh
[29.11.2016 20:24:03] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Partners.. ? In this venture
[29.11.2016 20:24:09] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Yes Partners
[29.11.2016 20:24:16] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: They ugh.. Do a good job of keeping it safe
[29.11.2016 20:24:29] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: Who are these "Partners" then?
[29.11.2016 20:24:36] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Well ugh
[29.11.2016 20:24:40] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: Is it the Navy?
[29.11.2016 20:25:05] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Navy is not one of them, no..
[29.11.2016 20:25:18] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: No? Who else would be capable of guarding you here?
[29.11.2016 20:25:30] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Well *nervously*
[29.11.2016 20:25:37] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: You know, those who used to be navy
[29.11.2016 20:25:47] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: But are not any more.. if that makes sense ?
[29.11.2016 20:25:56] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: That's a funny answer because that counts for a lot of people.
[29.11.2016 20:26:15] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Hah, tells you alot about Liberty Navy doesn't it now ?
[29.11.2016 20:26:27] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: There's a reason we do what we do
[29.11.2016 20:26:34] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Don't worry
[29.11.2016 20:26:50] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Our corporation holds the goverment on very thin ice due to recent events.
[29.11.2016 20:27:16] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: We've lost alot of good folks because of their.. habbit of sitting on their thumbs eh ?
[29.11.2016 20:27:23] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Especially recently
[29.11.2016 20:27:35] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: That is kinda why
[29.11.2016 20:27:37] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: We got to know your corporation as rather close to the Navy.
[29.11.2016 20:27:42] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: *nervous laughter*
[29.11.2016 20:27:46] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: So I am curious on what changed and who you work with now.
[29.11.2016 20:27:47] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: We are here
[29.11.2016 20:28:04] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Well ugh
[29.11.2016 20:28:12] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: We are a liberty company after all
[29.11.2016 20:28:17] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: You explained the why and you suggested the who. But that you don't want to talk plain is worrying.
[29.11.2016 20:28:24] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: And we have to fulfill our contract with them
[29.11.2016 20:28:34] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Doesn't stop us from ya' know.. branching out in different directions
[29.11.2016 20:28:59] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: *Sights* Fine
[29.11.2016 20:29:01] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: And this is your latest branch?
[29.11.2016 20:29:27] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Yes, the goverment doesn't have much say in these here parts
[29.11.2016 20:29:40] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Allows us to do some proper business, with some proper protection
[29.11.2016 20:30:00] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: As far as I know there's many Hellfire ships around here.
[29.11.2016 20:30:08] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Having all of our assets in heart of Liberty doesn't seem as wise as it used to be ya'know
[29.11.2016 20:30:16] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Yes, yes there are.
[29.11.2016 20:30:21] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: I'm not dumb but I just cannot imagine that you'd just cater to both like that.
[29.11.2016 20:30:31] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: *laughs*
[29.11.2016 20:30:43] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Uhm
[29.11.2016 20:31:10] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Yet we are.
[29.11.2016 20:31:23] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: You're playing a rather dangerous game there.
[29.11.2016 20:31:31] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: *nervous laughter*
[29.11.2016 20:31:37] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Well, ya know
[29.11.2016 20:32:03] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Alright, alright, I'll cut the crap.
[29.11.2016 20:32:25] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Of course we are doing this, I say we should have done it sooner.
[29.11.2016 20:32:38] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: The bloody useless, corrupt navy, is the real danger.
[29.11.2016 20:32:54] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: Oh we discovered that first hand.
[29.11.2016 20:33:06] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: But the forces you align with now aren't exactly better.
[29.11.2016 20:33:12] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Yes, and in the process of opening your eyes you killed our repair ship.
[29.11.2016 20:33:31] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: We were chased into a corner of incompentence.
[29.11.2016 20:33:38] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: And there is no growth in such an enviroment.
[29.11.2016 20:33:41] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: So we branched out
[29.11.2016 20:33:43] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: We destroyed that ship because it was rapidly repairing the hostile fleet.
[29.11.2016 20:33:54] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Tell that to those engineers families.
[29.11.2016 20:34:10] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Those folks were doing their jobs.
[29.11.2016 20:34:17] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Both of you were there to protect them
[29.11.2016 20:34:20] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: They ended up dying for you
[29.11.2016 20:34:24] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: They were in an active combat zone and told to leave.
[29.11.2016 20:34:33] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: They were doing their bloody job.
[29.11.2016 20:34:40] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Somebody has to.
[29.11.2016 20:35:13] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: We are being hunted, robbed, murdered
[29.11.2016 20:35:22] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: Of course but if they don't want to take the risks of a soldier they should stay out of wars.
[29.11.2016 20:35:23] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: As a consequence of your arguments.
[29.11.2016 20:35:54] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: I don't enjoy to kill these people.
[29.11.2016 20:35:58] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: But I will if I have to.
[29.11.2016 20:36:16] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: So... You are telling me that you will murder even more civilians doing their job.. for what ?
[29.11.2016 20:36:57] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: It's not civilians. It's people who support the Navy. Had those engineers left the area...
[29.11.2016 20:37:01] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: They'd still live.
[29.11.2016 20:37:06] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Do you understand that without Doe Industries Inc. you wouldn't ever have that fancy base in Manhatan orbit ?
[29.11.2016 20:37:12] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: It was a work of marvel
[29.11.2016 20:37:25] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Work done by real libertonians.
[29.11.2016 20:37:37] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Only to be killed by those who had them built it.
[29.11.2016 20:37:40] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: As a thank you.
[29.11.2016 20:38:06] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: We are not exactly profiting from that installation anymore.
[29.11.2016 20:38:17] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: Though the current combat is certainly taking attention away.
[29.11.2016 20:38:55] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: I am talking about Hoover Station
[29.11.2016 20:39:01] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Not Long Island.
[29.11.2016 20:39:16] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: What happend to that base anyways ?
[29.11.2016 20:39:24] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: I wouldn't know.
[29.11.2016 20:40:16] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: I was good friends with many of your agents.
[29.11.2016 20:40:23] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Even your director.
[29.11.2016 20:40:26] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: Our agents?
[29.11.2016 20:40:33] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Yes, before.. this
[29.11.2016 20:40:46] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: I am not part of the LSF.
[29.11.2016 20:40:50] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Not any more.
[29.11.2016 20:40:56] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: I never was.
[29.11.2016 20:41:06] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: I was a pilot for the Navy.
[29.11.2016 20:41:15] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: We just took the right side.
[29.11.2016 20:41:43] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Tell me.. How are you different from the legion then ?
[29.11.2016 20:42:21] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: We are not keeping up what ruined the Navy.
[29.11.2016 20:42:35] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: Where the Hellfire Legion is an army of hypocrites.
[29.11.2016 20:42:42] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Well the Navy is now at its weakest point.
[29.11.2016 20:42:49] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: So you are certianly not fixing it.
[29.11.2016 20:43:14] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: We cannot fix the Navy. But we can do our best to protect Liberty.
[29.11.2016 20:43:21] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: *laughs*
[29.11.2016 20:43:31] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: New York has been under pirate lockdown for 72 hours.
[29.11.2016 20:43:43] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: When we broke the blockade of the Navy the Hellfire Legion was the first to open fire on us from the other side.
[29.11.2016 20:43:48] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: And there are all of those different groups "protecting liberty"
[29.11.2016 20:43:48] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: They are no better.
[29.11.2016 20:44:13] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: And yet, as an honest libertonian I can tell you it is getting worse by the day.
[29.11.2016 20:44:35] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Just because you cannot do your job, doesn't mean that the spirit of liberty, it's corporations will roll over and die.
[29.11.2016 20:44:50] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: We were forced to look outside of the box so we don't have to count on your "protection"
[29.11.2016 20:45:02] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: I have to agree. The Navy is just going to have this end with nothing left but itself.
[29.11.2016 20:45:11] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Exactly.
[29.11.2016 20:45:21] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: I give them a mouthfull every time I see them
[29.11.2016 20:45:24] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: But the Legion is keeping this spirit up.
[29.11.2016 20:45:37] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Bunch of cadets flying around safe areas and writing reports to get promoted
[29.11.2016 20:45:51] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: So they can be like their officers, sit around on Long Island on their thumbs and play soldier.
[29.11.2016 20:46:04] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Instead of taking the fight to the enemy, and there are plenty of enemies to choose from.
[29.11.2016 20:46:19] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: We certainly got our fair share of those.
[29.11.2016 20:46:34] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: My Navy is the Navy that brought Rheinland down to it's knees
[29.11.2016 20:46:42] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Not those Jokers now.
[29.11.2016 20:47:02] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: They are lost.
[29.11.2016 20:47:08] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: They cannot be brought back.
[29.11.2016 20:47:15] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Exactly.
[29.11.2016 20:47:24] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Do you know understand why we are moving our operations here.. ?
[29.11.2016 20:47:39] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: Oh I understand. It is just an unexpected move.
[29.11.2016 20:47:46] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: *Laughs*
[29.11.2016 20:47:59] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: There were those who called for much harsher actions in the company
[29.11.2016 20:48:00] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: Especially from a corporation which forces their engineers to repair Navy ships in a warzone.
[29.11.2016 20:48:12] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Unions threatened a strike, many have left to join the bloody Xenos and whatnot.
[29.11.2016 20:48:29] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Those brave souls did their job
[29.11.2016 20:48:58] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: And you blaim them out of everyone else
[29.11.2016 20:49:04] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Instead of admiting their sacrifice
[29.11.2016 20:49:08] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: And admiting that you have done wrong
[29.11.2016 20:49:17] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: We did what we had to.
[29.11.2016 20:49:19] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: You are just like the Navy is you always think your actions are whats right.
[29.11.2016 20:49:44] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: Your engineers made our job twice as hard. With them around we couldn't have defeated that warship.
[29.11.2016 20:50:01] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Because they are damn good at their job.
[29.11.2016 20:50:21] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: The goverment and the navy didn't deserve the loyaltly they have shown.
[29.11.2016 20:50:26] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: But neither do you.
[29.11.2016 20:50:28] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Or anyone else.
[29.11.2016 20:50:40] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: We are in it for ourselves now.
[29.11.2016 20:50:49] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Everyone watches out for their own, and finally, so do we.
[29.11.2016 20:50:55] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: But you are working with everyone around you.
[29.11.2016 20:51:02] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: That will not exactly "work out".
[29.11.2016 20:51:16] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: The Legion cannot turn down our credits
[29.11.2016 20:51:39] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Goverment knows if they say a word there will be nobody left to maintain the lanes.
[29.11.2016 20:52:10] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: They all played us, and now we've made sure we are not in that position any more.
[29.11.2016 20:52:42] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: So you are saying that you will behave independently while being tied to it all?
[29.11.2016 20:52:57] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: We will look after our intrest.
[29.11.2016 20:53:20] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: It is in our intrest to keep the liberty contracts
[29.11.2016 20:53:33] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: And it is in our intrest to profit from the wealth this system has to offer.
[29.11.2016 20:53:37] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: We can do both.
[29.11.2016 20:53:45] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: God Knows both sides are doing much worse things.
[29.11.2016 20:54:40] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Time will tell.
[29.11.2016 20:54:46] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: All the time.
[29.11.2016 20:54:52] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: If you'll excuse me there is a navy ship holding up one of our transports.
[29.11.2016 20:54:57] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: I have some shouting to do.
[29.11.2016 20:55:10] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: May I leave ?
[29.11.2016 20:55:12] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: Where would that be?
[29.11.2016 20:55:29] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: We don't need help from anyone, we can handle it.
[29.11.2016 20:55:35] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: We learned that lesson a long time ago.
[29.11.2016 20:55:41] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: Your helping will leave that ship in one piece.
[29.11.2016 20:55:50] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: It will.
[29.11.2016 20:56:03] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: If you join that party, I'm not so sure.
[29.11.2016 20:56:16] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: Because my orders include destroying those.
[29.11.2016 20:56:34] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Those.. ?
[29.11.2016 20:56:43] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: All Navy vessels.
[29.11.2016 20:56:51] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Well get in line.
[29.11.2016 20:56:52] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: As long as I don't risk this ship.
[29.11.2016 20:57:06] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: The Fangs are here, so it the legion.
[29.11.2016 20:57:14] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: They have this system well defended.
[29.11.2016 20:57:29] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: You might be in for a rough time if you hunt for navy around here.
[29.11.2016 20:58:00] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: I don't think they'll stay undisturbed for long.
[29.11.2016 20:58:05] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: And then we'll be there too.
[29.11.2016 20:58:32] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Look Miss, our partners might not look kindly to our interaction here, but know that Doe Industries is more open to..
[29.11.2016 20:58:36] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: Alternatives
[29.11.2016 20:58:44] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: Alternatives?
[29.11.2016 20:59:17] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: We are willing to hear everyone out now.
[29.11.2016 20:59:31] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: I see. I will report that back to my command.
[29.11.2016 20:59:48] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: But your actions against our repair ship
[29.11.2016 20:59:59] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: They didn't buy you any favor in our corporate ladder.
[29.11.2016 21:00:13] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: If you'll excuse me, I'm way over deadline as it is.
[29.11.2016 21:00:26] H|-Kelly.O'Brien: Certainly. This needs to be evaluated I think.
[29.11.2016 21:00:51] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: If we cannot adjust and live in reality, all of us will face the same faith as the navy.
[29.11.2016 21:01:00] DSE)C-123.Starlifter: ?: We'll be in touch.
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.
