'Ello lads,

I'v got news fer ya. The good news is, the liner from OSC is bought, equipped and parked safely in New London system. The not so good news... I was intercepted by Lane Hackers in Manchester system. They were pissed 'bout the fact Kirk stopped 'em from pirating and wanted to have... a "chat" as they called it. I'll include guncam pictures and voice recordings in attachement. In short, they wanted to 'now why we escorted Ageira, and vere quite paranoid 'bout that.

They dinnae liked it when Kirk stopped 'em. And they tolld me to pay a... "fine" of 45,000,000 SC, 'cause Kirk aparently stopped 'em from pirating a large shipement of Gold ore. They... kept saying me that I dinnae have to pay it, and I can leave, but that will make things... bad between our groups. Well, what can I say. I dinnae care a penny for what they thing 'bout us now, but when ye're flyin' 180,000,000 SC worth ship with 40 or so people on board, and three guys who have bomber asks ya to pay... ya pay.

I hafta say, I thought better of 'em. But now? They openly admit pirating, hell Kirk saw them do that. And when they get chased off, they take Liner hostage and demand payment from the guys who stopped them? Sounds like a usual pirates from me.

Anyways... The way I see it, we have two choices now. We can swallow it and stop acceptin' jobs from Ageira and those other folks LH dinnae like. Or we can show 'em how big of a mistake they made. Because in me eyes, they are nothin' better than those Hessies. And I dinnae have to tell ya, I vote fer the second option.

Hacker encounter

[16.09.2016 12:52:52] Mr.Yoshida-: Cut your engines now! You do not really wish me to do it for you.
[16.09.2016 12:53:13] Mr.Yoshida-: Do you know who I am?
[16.09.2016 12:53:37] [FL-ER]Independence: Lemme guess. Hacker.
[16.09.2016 12:53:50] Mr.Yoshida-: Not just any Hacker. But very well.
[16.09.2016 12:54:04] Mr.Yoshida-: We have some things to discuss. Is that understandable?
[16.09.2016 12:54:30] [FL-ER]Independence: Well?
[16.09.2016 12:54:34] Mr.Yoshida-: Are you afraid? Tell me
[16.09.2016 12:54:41] Mr.Yoshida-: If you wish to speak to me or you refuse contact.
[16.09.2016 12:54:50] Mr.Yoshida-: Don't wet your pants already.
[16.09.2016 12:55:09] [FL-ER]Independence: Listen, lad. I now what yer talkin bout.
[16.09.2016 12:55:21] [FL-ER]Independence: So... if ya want to say somethin'. Say it.
[16.09.2016 12:55:29] Mr.Yoshida-: Not here. Too dangerous.
[16.09.2016 12:55:36] Mr.Yoshida-: Start moving to D-2 Sector
[16.09.2016 12:55:39] Mr.Yoshida-: We will talk there
[16.09.2016 12:55:58] Mr.Yoshida-: Don't make things harder. Set course and go!
[16.09.2016 12:56:39] Mr.Yoshida-: Mactan Interruptor, cover our rears. Make sure Independence doesn't try anything crazy.
[16.09.2016 12:56:40] [FL-ER]Independence: Hm...
[16.09.2016 12:56:48] [FL-ER]Independence: This asteroid field might be a problem.
[16.09.2016 12:57:01] Mr.Yoshida-: Keep moving. Don't test my patience.
[16.09.2016 12:57:11] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: Roger that Mr yoshida
[16.09.2016 12:58:17] Mr.Yoshida-: Mactan, make sure Medrano will join us.
[16.09.2016 12:58:41] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: he is coming to us as we speak
[16.09.2016 12:59:03] Death: Kurotora was divided by zero.
[16.09.2016 12:59:40] Mr.Yoshida-: Independence, I would advise against calling for law enforcement. This won't be an unpleasant encounter unless you do not coop.
[16.09.2016 12:59:48] [FL-ER]Independence: Hey!
[16.09.2016 13:00:04] [FL-ER]Independence: Was it necesarry? I was just making it easier on the engines dammit!
[16.09.2016 13:00:07] Mr.Yoshida-: So let's start with the basics.
[16.09.2016 13:00:11] Mr.Yoshida-: Your name, captain.
[16.09.2016 13:00:40] [FL-ER]Independence: Greg.
[16.09.2016 13:01:37] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: Well Greg
[16.09.2016 13:01:49] Mr.Yoshida-: Law enforcement detected travelling in the system.
[16.09.2016 13:02:04] [FL-ER]Independence: Well, I didn't call them.
[16.09.2016 13:02:12] Mr.Yoshida-: I repeat, Independence. There is NO danger to your life or your crew.
[16.09.2016 13:02:25] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: We have some nice intel that law enfocement would love to get their hand's on
[16.09.2016 13:02:29] Mr.Yoshida-: We merely wish isolation for discussion to happen.
[16.09.2016 13:02:40] [FL-ER]Independence: As I said, I didn't call them.
[16.09.2016 13:03:25] [FL-ER]Independence: But GRN are kinda troublesome in border systems. Kinda normal, Goc forces patrol here, don't you thing?
[16.09.2016 13:03:28] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: So what is your dealing's with the Main branch of ageria
[16.09.2016 13:03:43] [FL-ER]Independence: *sound of faceplam is heard*
[16.09.2016 13:03:59] [FL-ER]Independence: Really? That incident?
[16.09.2016 13:04:12] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: Yes i want to know all about it
[16.09.2016 13:04:21] [FL-ER]Independence: Well, there's nothing to say.
[16.09.2016 13:04:36] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: Do we need to make you talk?
[16.09.2016 13:04:48] [FL-ER]Independence: Captain of that ship hired that freelancer as an escort...
[16.09.2016 13:04:58] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: carry on
[16.09.2016 13:05:13] [FL-ER]Independence: With what? That's it.
[16.09.2016 13:05:21] [FL-ER]Independence: He got hired, so he did his job.
[16.09.2016 13:05:26] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: What did that lap dog want scum
[16.09.2016 13:05:44] [FL-ER]Independence: Uhm... what?
[16.09.2016 13:05:54] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: You heard me
[16.09.2016 13:06:12] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: Wat did that ageria Lapdog want
[16.09.2016 13:06:29] [FL-ER]Independence: How would I know? Probably just safely transport his cargo?
[16.09.2016 13:06:45] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: What was the ship hauling?
[16.09.2016 13:07:01] [FL-ER]Independence: How would I know?! I was not the one escorting him.
[16.09.2016 13:07:12] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: You dont Not want to do this the hard way
[16.09.2016 13:07:53] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: You surely Talk with your other pilot's right
[16.09.2016 13:08:07] [FL-ER]Independence: Well, Hacker, I can't tell you what I don't know. I wasn't escorting that guy and the pilot who did didn't wrote that in his-
[16.09.2016 13:08:16] [FL-ER]Independence: -report.
[16.09.2016 13:08:31] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: What do you think Mr yoshida
[16.09.2016 13:08:43] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: Do you think this is a bluff
[16.09.2016 13:09:10] [FL-ER]Independence: It might be a surprise to you, but we don't usually ask questions. We get a job, we do it and that's it
[16.09.2016 13:09:45] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: Well there must of been something right?
[16.09.2016 13:10:09] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: even a small little hint or over looked peice of intel
[16.09.2016 13:10:19] [FL-ER]Independence: Uhm... no?
[16.09.2016 13:10:27] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: On what was going on
[16.09.2016 13:10:53] [FL-ER]Independence: Why must be something going on?
[16.09.2016 13:11:05] Mr.Yoshida-: There is something going on here
[16.09.2016 13:11:12] Mr.Yoshida-: Mr Chang is here to find out.
[16.09.2016 13:11:18] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: Well it was Agera so it will be something
[16.09.2016 13:11:19] Mr.Yoshida-: You better comply, Independence.
[16.09.2016 13:11:46] [FL-ER]Independence: Aren't you a little paranoid? Freelancers do it all the time, we get hired for a one time job, we did it, we look for new job.
[16.09.2016 13:11:52] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: Maybe i should make a hole in your ship for you to talk
[16.09.2016 13:12:41] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: Well Are You going to Keep beating us around the bush or what
[16.09.2016 13:12:57] [FL-ER]Independence: Well. I can't really stop you from making the hole, but it wouldn't change a thing. Can't tell you what I don't know.
[16.09.2016 13:13:18] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: Well Ask Him over comm's then
[16.09.2016 13:13:52] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: What ever it is we Want to know no matter the cost
[16.09.2016 13:14:21] [FL-ER]Independence: Well, in that case you picked a wrong target. I have the report opened, nothing about the cargo in there.
[16.09.2016 13:14:46] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: HM What was the pilot's name and callsign
[16.09.2016 13:14:56] [FL-ER]Independence: The guy got contacted by the Ageira captain, escorted him and they parted ways.
[16.09.2016 13:15:05] [FL-ER]Independence: Why? So you might threaten him for doing his job?
[16.09.2016 13:15:10] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: of both the transport and the freelancer
[16.09.2016 13:15:37] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: Well if it was Ageria then we do what we must
[16.09.2016 13:15:53] [FL-ER]Independence: I think Mr. Yoshida knows both of these callsigns.
[16.09.2016 13:15:57] [FL-ER]Independence: Since he was there.
[16.09.2016 13:16:15] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: Mr yoshida is this true?
[16.09.2016 13:16:36] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: Or is he trying to buff me hm
[16.09.2016 13:16:42] [FL-ER]Independence: Unless the pilot mistook you for someone. But Yoshida is kinda unique name.
[16.09.2016 13:17:07] Mr.Yoshida-: Yes it is true.
[16.09.2016 13:17:12] [FL-ER]Independence: See?
[16.09.2016 13:17:16] Mr.Yoshida-: I have all the evidence.
[16.09.2016 13:17:19] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: Alright then
[16.09.2016 13:17:30] Mr.Yoshida-: the FL-ER assaulted my ship before I did anything to anyone.
[16.09.2016 13:17:45] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: Hm was that in the report?
[16.09.2016 13:18:49] Mr.Yoshida-: The Ageira~ ship was carrying 4 thousand units of Gold Ore. What will happen now is left in your hands Mr Chang.
[16.09.2016 13:18:57] Mr.Yoshida-: I know you will see justice being carried out.
[16.09.2016 13:19:33] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: Independence you will Give us 45 millons NOW
[16.09.2016 13:19:52] [FL-ER]Independence: Oh...
[16.09.2016 13:20:06] [FL-ER]Independence: You are Mr. Chang?
[16.09.2016 13:20:15] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: Yes im Chang
[16.09.2016 13:20:59] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: And this "fine" would be to smooth over these event's
[16.09.2016 13:21:01] [FL-ER]Independence: Ok, if it is money you won't that can be done.
[16.09.2016 13:21:39] Mr.Yoshida-: You prevented us from hijacking this value shipment. So FL-ER will pay for that shipment now.
[16.09.2016 13:21:46] Mr.Yoshida-: It is worth 45 million credits.
[16.09.2016 13:22:01] Mr.Yoshida-: It does not involve you, in specific.
[16.09.2016 13:22:09] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: give us the money and we will forget it all
[16.09.2016 13:22:14] [FL-ER]Independence: Interesting. So you basically want money, because we did our job?
[16.09.2016 13:22:20] [FL-ER]Independence: Just curious.
[16.09.2016 13:22:54] Mr.Yoshida-: The Lane Hackers are here to destroy Ageira Technologies and establish a new corporation in its place.
[16.09.2016 13:23:18] Mr.Yoshida-: We won't be stopped by carrying out this sacred duty.
[16.09.2016 13:23:22] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: So FL-ER pervented us in doing so
[16.09.2016 13:23:29] Mr.Yoshida-: So we expect compensation.
[16.09.2016 13:24:19] [FL-ER]Independence: Well...
[16.09.2016 13:24:40] [FL-ER]Independence: Pirating ships is not very effective way of doing that, no?
[16.09.2016 13:24:51] Mr.Yoshida-: This is no piracy, Independence. You are free to go.
[16.09.2016 13:25:03] [FL-ER]Independence: I'm not talking about me.
[16.09.2016 13:25:34] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: Does FL-ER refuses to provide compensation then
[16.09.2016 13:25:40] Mr.Yoshida-: Driving Ageira into bankrupty is not an effective way? What do you propose then?
[16.09.2016 13:25:43] [FL-ER]Independence: Oh, you will get your money, don't worry.
[16.09.2016 13:26:21] [FL-ER]Independence: Well, that would certainly work, but targeting regular employees isn't really going to do that no?
[16.09.2016 13:26:42] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: Well no they would still have money to work with
[16.09.2016 13:26:43] Mr.Yoshida-: We are doing within our capabilities, trust me on this.
[16.09.2016 13:26:52] Mr.Yoshida-: Wire the credits to me Independence.
[16.09.2016 13:27:03] [FL-ER]Independence: I mean... Ageira is large. You are not. I'd guess you try something more subtle than pirating.
[16.09.2016 13:27:04] Mr.Yoshida-: I have been the one who lost from this.
[16.09.2016 13:27:14] [FL-ER]Independence: How much was it again? 45 milions?
[16.09.2016 13:27:18] Mr.Yoshida-: Yes.
[16.09.2016 13:27:20] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: Yes it was
[16.09.2016 13:27:51] [FL-ER]Independence: Allright. Wait a moment before I transfer it.
[16.09.2016 13:28:46] [FL-ER]Independence: // that weird thing in your names is giving me trouble
[16.09.2016 13:29:44] /givecash lh~mactan.interruptor 45000000 anon
[16.09.2016 13:29:44] You have sent 45.000.000 credits to LH~Mactan.Interruptor anonymously
[16.09.2016 13:30:27] Mr.Yoshida-: Accept the trade request, don't waste my time.
[16.09.2016 13:30:27] [FL-ER]Independence: That should be enough, no<
[16.09.2016 13:30:28] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: yeah it was i will transfer it to the right account
[16.09.2016 13:30:28] [FL-ER]Independence: // looks like I|m lagging
[16.09.2016 13:30:34] Mr.Yoshida-: It seems you are not very good in following instructions, are you?
[16.09.2016 13:30:44] Death: Shaun_Cook was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[16.09.2016 13:30:51] [FL-ER]Independence: Why? I aranged the money transfer?
[16.09.2016 13:31:34] Mr.Yoshida-: Sending credits to other Hackers.
[16.09.2016 13:31:34] Mr.Yoshida-: But enough.
[16.09.2016 13:31:34] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: There we go the money is in the right hand's now
[16.09.2016 13:32:06] Mr.Yoshida-: Reparations have been paid. Everything is good again.
[16.09.2016 13:32:16] Mr.Yoshida-: Do not repeat this stunt, Independence. No one can prevent us from carrying out our duty against Ageira.
[16.09.2016 13:32:26] Mr.Yoshida-: And please relay that to Private Kirk, for god's sake.
[16.09.2016 13:33:29] [FL-ER]Independence: Stunt? Interesting world to call that. Am I free to go now, when you'v got your money?
[16.09.2016 13:33:47] Mr.Yoshida-: You were always free, you were simply asked to provide reparations on behalf of FL-ER
[16.09.2016 13:34:30] [FL-ER]Independence: Oh... right. And if I refused you'd blown this ship to pieces. Interesting definition of freedom I'd say. Well, whatever. You-
[16.09.2016 13:34:40] [FL-ER]Independence: -got your money, and I have work to do.
[16.09.2016 13:35:11] Mr.Yoshida-: No we wouldn't. But we would also knew that FL-ER is not a reliable partner.
[16.09.2016 13:35:12] [FL-ER]Independence: So, don't mind me, but I'm on my way.
[16.09.2016 13:35:36] Mr.Yoshida-: Oh Independence...
[16.09.2016 13:35:37] [FL-ER]Independence: Why do I not believe you. Well.. godd day gents.
[16.09.2016 13:35:44] [FL-ER]Independence: SIgh.
[16.09.2016 13:35:48] [FL-ER]Independence: Yes?
[16.09.2016 13:35:53] Mr.Yoshida-: Can I have an apology from Mr Kirk?
[16.09.2016 13:36:07] Mr.Yoshida-: You know, I still have traumatic experiences
[16.09.2016 13:36:13] [FL-ER]Independence: That depends on him, not on me.
[16.09.2016 13:36:15] Mr.Yoshida-: From him shooting at my ship.
[16.09.2016 13:36:24] [FL-ER]Independence: But I'll let him know you asked.
[16.09.2016 13:36:29] Mr.Yoshida-: Sure, but your recommendation might incline him to do the right thing.
[16.09.2016 13:36:34] Mr.Yoshida-: Good.
[16.09.2016 13:36:49] [FL-ER]Independence: Well. Enjoy your day.
[16.09.2016 13:36:57] Mr.Yoshida-: Let's escort Independence to the corporate trade lanes.
[16.09.2016 13:37:03] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: roger
[16.09.2016 13:37:15] [FL-ER]Independence: Oh... I don't thing that's necessary.
[16.09.2016 13:37:37] Mr.Yoshida-: I'd rather bring you back in the state we found you.
[16.09.2016 13:38:04] [FL-ER]Independence: Well, thats mighty nice from you, and I aprecciate it, but I'd rather fly alone.
[16.09.2016 13:38:06] Mr.Yoshida-: Fine.
[16.09.2016 13:38:11] Mr.Yoshida-: Let's go gentlemen,
[16.09.2016 13:38:15] LH~Mactan.Interruptor: ok we will be gone
[16.09.2016 13:38:25] [FL-ER]Independence: Thank you.
[16.09.2016 13:39:07] Mr.Yoshida-: They really need to instruct their privates
[16.09.2016 13:39:11] Mr.Yoshida-: This is getting out of hand
