Communication channel opened... Encryption:Standard Origin: 5th Fleet HQ | Juneau Shipyard ID: Cdr. Jim Schofield Subject: Patrol Report
During my routine patrol from West Point to Pennsylvania JG I intercepted a Lane Hacker trying to extort passerby transports, thus breaking The Law (Section 1, Paragraph 2). After all civilians left the scene I charged the hacker a fee of 1 million S.C. It required a little persuasion (in a good way) but eventually the hacker paid. He then disappeared in Badlands.
On a side note, this is not the first time I met the [MB] gang. They are insolent, but reckless. They operate mostly in Badlands which indicates that they may have some hidden base built in there. What I also find interesting is that they don't use traditional Lane Hacker ships (Bayonet, Rapier, Sabre) but rather Falchions. I recommend to be cautious around this lot and when the opportunity arises to catch and interrogate some of them.
