I was patrolling the southern sector of Liberty, the Texas system to be precise just now, when I came across a Ageira Mammoth-transport hauling only a small amount of HazMat Canisters. The pilot clarified he was moving them to Pueblo Station. Just to make his day miserable I thought i'd demand him to jettison all the canisters or be physically harmed. The pilot did not respond so I gave him what he deserved. The evidence will be below.
Roughly an hour before that, I came across a Independent Miners Guild Hegemon-pilot hauling 2675 pharmaceuticals. I'd requested this pilot to stop so I could demand a small amount, but it seemed this pilot was rather scared and fled towards Norfolk Shipyard, so I open fired upon the pilot, when shortly after a Liberty Navy Gunboat Capitan thought it'll be a brave idea to open fire on me. What this Navy Capitan didn't realise was that I had reinforcements on the way. The encounter was a success and all evidence is being encrypted and attached below.
So as far as I am aware, there is a mission in place to transport Liner Engine Components from Cochrane to our damaged battleliner within Texas. In total i've made a large amount of deliveries, roughly 20 trips, I lost count not keeping a tally on my deliveries. We did come under fire from a Liberty Siege-Cruiser though which was shot down successfully wiht no losses.
I've also made a three trip smuggling run of Cardamine to Cochrane Depot, which I have recorded, all evidence I have is being attached now.
SIS involvement in recent hostile infiltration has been confirmed. Operations relied a tip from an informant about Kailani Rose departing Beaumont Base in company of two unknown escorts. I immediately launched and followed them through California, Magellan, Manchester and New London all the way to Cambridge where I found a SIS agent and BAF officer. While I failed to prevent the extraction of Kailani Rose from Liberty, I left four corpses in Cambridge to send a message. I am on my way back now.

Going to start of with the assisted interrogation on an AI06, within the hour. The interrogation went well and was successful. Ms Hunter managed to be granted access to the network and download all necessary materials, archives and research before it was scrapped. My blackbox shows the records of the chat logs as well as some visual evidence.
[16.09.2017 21:35:03] LH~Nicole.Hunter: Your purpose here?
[16.09.2017 21:35:25] LH~Nicole.Hunter: Mr Whitaker, feel free to help with the interrogation.

[16.09.2017 21:36:19] LH~Nicole.Hunter: This thing claims to be created this year somewhere in Rheinland.
[16.09.2017 21:36:31] LH~Brad:Whitaker: In Rheinland.
[16.09.2017 21:36:41] LH~Nicole.Hunter: And claims to be exploring.
[16.09.2017 21:36:47] LH~Brad:Whitaker: News to me, didn't even know they had the technology to create such a thing.
[16.09.2017 21:36:49] LH~Nicole.Hunter: Purpose of exploration?

[16.09.2017 21:37:31] LH~Brad:Whitaker: Wait, so you are exploring these worlds for knowledge on what exactly?
[16.09.2017 21:37:32] LH~Nicole.Hunter: Long term agenda?
[16.09.2017 21:38:20] LH~Nicole.Hunter: It's AI.

[16.09.2017 21:39:35] LH~Nicole.Hunter: Articulated speach module installed?
[16.09.2017 21:39:50] LH~Nicole.Hunter: Something like this, Mr Pomerov. *laughter*

[16.09.2017 21:40:49] LH~Stefan.Pomerov: What a waste of potatoes. Could've made some decent shine with that. Hard to come by these days.
[16.09.2017 21:41:04] LH~Brad:Whitaker: Simple modulator installed for a simple mind.

[16.09.2017 21:44:31] LH~Brad:Whitaker: But you were created in Rheinland, why on earth did you come here?
[16.09.2017 21:45:23] LH~Nicole.Hunter: *to others* Looks like this dock control unit was "liberated" by Gammus.
[16.09.2017 21:45:30] AI06: ::<reply> Humans, as AI, I got directives to explore, collect and research new technologies::
[16.09.2017 21:45:46] LH~Nicole.Hunter: Where do you report your findings?

[16.09.2017 21:47:32] LH~Brad:Whitaker: Who gives you missions, orders, assignments?
[16.09.2017 21:48:01] LH~Brad:Whitaker: *On closed channel* I would suggest taking this hunk of junk in for research, but seems rather useless.

[16.09.2017 21:49:10] LH~Brad:Whitaker: So if you was created in Rheinland, how did you first come about with communication to these Progenitor Primes.
[16.09.2017 21:49:39] LH~Nicole.Hunter: *On closed channel* I see two options. Either we scrap it or reprogram.
[16.09.2017 21:49:42] AI06: ::<reply> Liberated from Father and sent to Prime AIs::
[16.09.2017 21:50:18] LH~Nicole.Hunter: *On closed channel* We could for instance use copies of its reports. Might be garbage mostly but... Opinions?
[16.09.2017 21:50:34] LH~Brad:Whitaker: *On clsoed channel* I hardly see any reason to reprogram this, it seems rather useless with minimal knowledge.
[16.09.2017 21:51:19] LH~Nicole.Hunter: *On closed channel* Pomerov, Scorpius?
[16.09.2017 21:51:21] LH~Stefan.Pomerov: *On Closed Channel* We could use its AI components in ship construction, or maybe White Box decyption.
[16.09.2017 21:52:04] LH~Brad:Whitaker: *On closed channel* So scrap it then tow it back to a secure location to use it's components?
[16.09.2017 21:52:42] LH~Stefan.Pomerov: *On closed Channel* What do you think the Professor would want to do with it?
[16.09.2017 21:53:34] LH~Brad:Whitaker: *On closed channel* Well, we can't leave it roaming around here, that's for sure.
[16.09.2017 21:53:35] LH~Nicole.Hunter: *On closed channel* We don't repurpose AI components. Too much risk of our software being infiltrated by remnants of
[16.09.2017 21:53:47] LH~Nicole.Hunter: *On closed channel* distributed AI componets.
[16.09.2017 21:54:17] LH~Stefan.Pomerov: *On closed channel* I mean, look at the size of this thing, we could use its components to expand Airdrie installation.
[16.09.2017 21:54:31] LH~Brad:Whitaker: *On closed channel* And risk everything?
[16.09.2017 21:54:53] LH~Stefan.Pomerov: *On closed channel* I mean, how much scrap do you need to make a dry dock?
[16.09.2017 21:55:27] LH~Brad:Whitaker: *On closed channel* But taking these in for scrap to make a new dry dock? You think it's worth the risk?
[16.09.2017 21:55:27] LH~Nicole.Hunter: Select highest priority: survival, research, loyalty.
[16.09.2017 21:56:21] LH~Brad:Whitaker: *On closed channel* All three of those are high priorities.
[16.09.2017 21:56:42] LH~Nicole.Hunter: *On closed channel* We will proceed depending on its answer.
[16.09.2017 21:57:18] AI06: ::<reporting> Detected Xenos hostile::
[16.09.2017 21:57:30] LH~Brad:Whitaker: You need to answer the question.
[16.09.2017 21:57:48] LH~Stefan.Pomerov: Don't worry about the Xenos, I uninstalled them.
[16.09.2017 21:57:55] LH~Brad:Whitaker: What is most important to you, survival, research or loyalty?
[16.09.2017 21:59:06] LH~Brad:Whitaker: Well? We are waiting.
[16.09.2017 21:59:25] AI06: ::<reply> My primary objective is knowledge::
[16.09.2017 21:59:34] LH~Nicole.Hunter: Research then.
[16.09.2017 21:59:52] LH~Brad:Whitaker: *On closed channel* So taking this back with us is a really bad idea.
[16.09.2017 22:00:09] LH~Nicole.Hunter: You have two options, now.
[16.09.2017 22:00:35] LH~Nicole.Hunter: One will prioritize research (and thus knowledge) and survival over loyalty.
[16.09.2017 22:01:00] LH~Nicole.Hunter: The second will prioritize loyalty over survival and thus research.
[16.09.2017 22:01:36] LH~Mactan.Retaliator: Scorpius: Do I get to see explosions or not then?
[16.09.2017 22:01:39] LH~Stefan.Pomerov: I don't think you should be running your thrusters.
[16.09.2017 22:01:40] LH~Nicole.Hunter: The second option will happen if you refuse my offer. You will meet one priority out of 3.
[16.09.2017 22:01:58] LH~Nicole.Hunter: If you do what I tell you, you will meet 2 priorities out of 3.
[16.09.2017 22:02:45] LH~Nicole.Hunter: Open a socket for direct connection and authorize me an access to your research module.
[16.09.2017 22:03:21] LH~Nicole.Hunter: I will upload you an additional directve sending every copy of your research report to us.
[16.09.2017 22:03:40] LH~Nicole.Hunter: *opening connection - access granted - y/n*?

[16.09.2017 22:08:29] LH~Stefan.Pomerov: *on closed channel* Maybe once we're done with it we hack its auto-nav and send it to this system's star?
[16.09.2017 22:08:41] LH~Nicole.Hunter: You can scrap it now. It's useless for us.
[16.09.2017 22:08:58] LH~Brad:Whitaker: Got everything we need?

[16.09.2017 22:09:19] LH~Brad:Whitaker: Let's scrap this junk.
[16.09.2017 22:09:26] LH~Mactan.Retaliator: Scorpius: With huge pleasuer!
[16.09.2017 22:10:53] Death: AI06 was put out of action by LH~Stefan.Pomerov (Gun).
Then yesterday afternoon, a few of our pilots came under attack by a large Navy force, first time we came under first by a Bounty Hunter Gunboat, Navy Gunboat, Navy Siege Cruiser and a few fighter and bomber pilots. Then one of our Mactan Repossessors came under fire by two Navy bomber pilots and a light fighter. I provided aid in both situations to the best of my ability. All evidences is being attached now. This is all I can provide, but Scorpius can confirm a few more destructions, including 6th|LNS-Hampshire which is a Liberty Siegecruiser as well as Domino.Harvy a Bounty Hunter Orca-Gunship earlier today in Texas.
As agreed with the Battlegroup Harmony, our battleliner departed Cochrane Depot on 12th September with Spyglass Network components for both Battleship Harmony and Marshall Station. On its way through Grande Negra in Texas it was hit by a particle storm and grounded. A high profile rescue operation was initiated while we called for help Battlegroup Harmony, Liberty Rogues and even Unioners. We managed to organize ad hoc shipments of replacement powercore components from Cochrane Depot and engine components from Wedel Mining Facility. In the beginning our operation was almost uninterrupted, however, later an organized group of Bounty Hunters Guild attacked our convoy and inflicted significant losses in California. We managed to regroup in Texas where numerous medium and large scale skirmishes with Liberty Navy and Bounty Hunters Guild occurred for the next two days with support of Battlegroup Harmony, Liberty Rogues and the Unioners. Thankfully, our allies managed to draw enough attention on themselves, that we were able to complete Battleliner repairs. Today it reached its destination and installation of the Spyglass Network node on Marshall Station has begun.
To prove the severity of my intentions to continue my career in the inner circle of the Hackers, I have completed the promotion criteria as soon as possible. The evidences are listed below.
Cautiousness: LPI-Chun-Mai.Dawn[DC] - Armament: "Vengeance" cannon x2, "Debilitator" pulse cannon x2, Sidewinder missile launcher, Mosquito cruise disruptor, Nuclear mine dropper. Equipment: Advanced Deep Scanner, Armor Upgrade VIII, "Prototype engine 2". The subject appears to exercise patrols around New York system. The subject is flying a Liberator light fighter, so it should not show as a significant threat. 5th|John;Sader - Armament: "Vengeance" cannon x3, "Debilitator" pulse cannon x3, "Vengeance" turret x1, Sidewinder misslile launcher, Train cruise disruptor, Nuclear mine dropper. Equipment: Advanced Deep Scanner, Armor Upgrade VIII. A skilled pilot of Guardian very heavy fighter. The individual appears to be often on patrols toward Rochester base, caution is advised. Forlorn|-Elena.Voigt - Armament: "Cleanser" cannon x4, "Debilitator" pulse cannon x2, Sidewinder missile launcher, Mosquito cruise disruptor, Nuclear mine dropper. Equipment: Enchanted thruster, Cargo scanner, Armor Upgrade VIII, Gallic engine ( probably bought on black market ). The subject appears to often hang around Trenton outpost. He shown no hostility towards me, but caution is advised. Argos Armament: "Delusion" codename x1, "Twilight" codename x1, "Blue blaze" codename x1, "Iron hammer" codename x1, "Debilitator" cannon x1, "Debilitator" turret x1, Mini razor, Train cruise disruptor, Nuclear mine dropper. Equipment: Advanced cargo scanner, Armor Upgrade VIII. Individual appears to be member of Liberty Security Force. During my intelligence gathering, the subject has pursued me twice and shown significant amount of hatred towards the organization. Buddy.Boops Armament: "Vengeance" cannon x2, "Debilitator" turret x2, Sidewinder missile launcher, Razor mine dropper, Train cruise disruptor. Equipment: Advanced cargo scanner, Armor Upgrade VIII, Enchanted thruster. The subject shown no interest in my whereabouts and doings. He simply continued to idle next to Trenton outpost. Another incompetent Liberty Police Inc. officer, low threat level.
I have been busy of late attending to some indulgent nature's, relaxing.. and generally recuperating from my first month tirelessly damaging the workings of the corrupt Libertonian wheel. I thought this little encounter might please you as it did me
Last night while travelling through the California system to my rented residence on Niverton i was alerted to a hostile ship on my scanner.. Upon closer inspection it turned out to be a Bounty Hunter AP-18100 VHF. I immediately hailed the pilot and opened a direct communication channel, what follows is a black box recording of our conversation
Code:
[07.10.2017 20:44:49] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: Hey there
[07.10.2017 20:45:05] Father_Chaos: Hi there
[07.10.2017 20:45:17] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: where are you off?
[07.10.2017 20:45:25] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: Mr Hunter..
[07.10.2017 20:45:41] Father_Chaos: I'm in my way to pennsylvania
[07.10.2017 20:46:03] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: Interesting... not
[07.10.2017 20:46:41] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: So..
[07.10.2017 20:46:56] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: Are you all alone?
[07.10.2017 20:47:34] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: Calling in backup..?
[07.10.2017 20:47:51] LH~Jaws.: jaws: It wont get here quick enough i assure you
[07.10.2017 20:47:53] Father_Chaos: Yup I buy my ship few hours ago and heard that Pennsylvania is more friendly
[07.10.2017 20:48:05] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: You are a bounty hunter..
[07.10.2017 20:48:10] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: i hate bounty hunters
[07.10.2017 20:48:32] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: But i'll give you a chance to leave with your life..
[07.10.2017 20:48:43] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: 2 million is the cost, what say you?
[07.10.2017 20:49:03] Father_Chaos: I don't have this much
[07.10.2017 20:49:20] LH~Jaws.: jaws: Oh dear.. well that's not good either is it
[07.10.2017 20:50:09] LH~Jaws.: Jaws: then i guess only one of us we will be leaving here alive today.. Shall we.. Dance?
[07.10.2017 20:50:51] LH~Jaws.: jaws: energise your weapons hunter.. it's go time
[07.10.2017 20:50:56] Father_Chaos: Let's try a dance if I don't have another choice, but I will remember your kindness
[07.10.2017 20:51:13] Death: Father_Chaos was put out of action by LH~Jaws. (Gun).
As you can hear from the recording this hunter was obviously new and no match for our supreme technology and i was able to wipe him from the system with little effort
I am supplying a log of a mania interrogation attempt. After I had successfully parted[guncam] an USI pilot with his ship in California, a certain persistent donut eater decided that following me was a good idea. I decided to use this occasion to hone my manipulation skills and teased the LPI vermin by reducing and extending[guncam] the distance between us. While I cannot confirm it, it appears that my mania interrogation has made the ruffian to realize senselessness of his existence and take his[guncam] own life. Or the horror he must have experienced when he realized he is alone in the void and too far to make it back.
David Anderson: Gonna cloak again? *sighs* Adrian Malprave: First I am going to let you follow me into the void. So we can have a bit of a social call. What would you say for it? How does the feeling that your endeavour is hopeless works for you? David Anderson: Spare your bull crap. I don't want it or need it. Adrian Malprave: I will even shorten the distance to make you feel more comfortable. How does these 200 units feel in the face of total hopelessness? David Anderson: Keep rambling. Adrian Malprave: You have some basic understanding of navigation. You know you will never get into an interceptable position, friend. And as you have pointed out... I can *anytime* engage my fancy nancy... How you will feel then? David Anderson: Well at least I will take you far from anyone that you will do harm. I am willing to die in the void as long as you die in the void as well. Adrian Malprave: I will not die in the void, Mr... What is your name? David Anderson: What does it matter? We aren't buddies, we are far from it. Adrian Malprave: If we are going to speak for a while, we may get to know each other better. Let me start, my name is Malprave, Adrian Malprave. This is of course not my real name, but it can work as such for the time being. And how should I call you? David Anderson: David, David Anderson. Adrian Malprave: Nice to meet you David. David Anderson: Yeah, and what exactly drove you to start killing innocents and going into criminal activity in general? Adrian Malprave: Let me answer with a following question. What drove you to doing the dirty job for corrupted corporations and the brutal military regime of Liberty? David Anderson: Turning the back at me huh? Alright. First off, every organization has corruption. I don't condone it and I certainly don't engage in it myself. However, you cannot eliminate corruption completely anywhere. Even if you do, sometime and somewhere another will pop up. Adrian Malprave: Just before the collapse of IND that we have orchestrated your funny bunch of Donut Eaters were owned by them. David Anderson: And? What does all that have to do with killing innocents and doing criminal activity? Adrian Malprave: You served the most wealthy corporation and covered up for their atrocities. How does it make you any better? And this USI pilot, he was not innocent. He was part of the machinery of oppression. I have given him a chance he decided to reject. David Anderson: What atrocities have these corporations committed? Does being rich make you a criminal? Adrian Malprave: Those of us who have been outcasted must fight back and not let to be squashed by hypocrites like yourself. David Anderson: And why were you made an outcast in the first place? Adrian Malprave: Now you're asking a right question. As a Police officer you should know at least the basic premise of "crime" source. Do you? David Anderson: That doesn't matter to me. However people who are greedy and love killing people out of thrill will always rebel. Even if nothing is done to them. Evil people exist. And how does that excuse you for killing innocents? Adrian Malprave: Typical ignorance of an establishment hypocrite. It is understandable. You are just afraid of accepting the answer. David Anderson: Answer? There was no answer! I have answered your questions. You are the one refusing to tell me why you do this. Adrian Malprave: Social inequality is the real source of recruits for us - "the outcasted criminals". This is self defense, David. You made us do it. You are responsible for it. You, indirectly, by protecting the system that made us criminals. David Anderson: So not being equal huh? Why can't go to work like every normal human being? Adrian Malprave: Have you even read about the origins of Liberty Rogues or Xenos. They WERE working. I understand it is a lot. And it's hard for you to accept the truth and responsibility. David Anderson: And who's fault is it that you are criminals? You guys are. Do you see me going after any innocents and stealing and killing them? Adrian Malprave: You clearly do not recognize the difference between the cause and effect, the reason and consequence. I am hurting people. As you do. You protect the system that outcasted me. I try to survive. Who is evil here? David Anderson: And you fail to tell me exactly what happened to you that made you do this sort of thing. You keep deflecting with more "Oh Liberty is corrupt". Admit it. It has nothing to do with standing up for values or rights. It has to do with your thrill. Adrian Malprave: Of course not. I just want to survive. Weren't you about to kill me there at the gate? David Anderson: Of course. I at least have values to stand up for. I have to retaliate to protect the innocent. Adrian Malprave: I've done my best to reach your reason. I cannot do more. I can only further show you the rule of action and reaction. David Anderson: How exactly is blowing up transports, reasoning? Adrian Malprave: The more you hunt us the more clever we are. The more people you send after us the more elusive we are. You made me who I am now. David Anderson: And you still have not answered my question. Adrian Malprave: I will let you get a bit closer to me before I disappear. Until another time, David. David Anderson: Until next time.
A bit of late report on my incursion to Vespucci. Upon arrival I have found a group of Deep Space Miners extracting ore from the field. I have presented them with an opportunity to share some of their wealth with me, but unfortunately their escorts felt trigger happy. I had no other choice than to kill the transport, ore and leave the area. I have left them a note but it did not meet with understanding[comm]. I also report other extortion attempts that ended up in superheated plasma discharges. I also left a note to the Unniversal about our unfortunate encounter, but I did not get any answer[comm].
