After the criteria reformation I have found myself demoted. While this makes sense from a general point of view, it was still something which I considered to have been unfair. Fortunately I am a stubborn man so I threw myself into the ring and started completing the new criteria.
Before I present the criteria completion report I would also like to report the completion of a number of special assignments:
The failed coup on Corin Frei. One event that greatly angered my fellow colleagues was the slanders and baseless accusations Arbeitsdirektor Corin Frei threw against our Professor. This drunkard was getting hammered by the Separatists in the north and the Hessians in the south and his mind was solely focused on how to alienate his last and true allies, the only ones who genuinely cared to bring an end to this senseless conflict. There was general consensus among the Inner Circle that only a change of leadership could work for the Alster Union. So I met Hunter Wolff and started guiding him on how to replace Corin Frei. Incidentally, the intel that Gefreiter Wolff shared with us revealed that the Natio Octavarium and Alster Union were secretly working on a Spyglass Battleship design for several months, something that the UN leadership never told us. So except that I manipulated Hunter Wolff to start working behind the scenes on overthrowing Frei's regime, I started activating supporters who would help him before and after the act, as well as a publicity campaign in order to increase his popularity and image. He was dubbed 'The Peacemaker' for his pro-peace position which was also his biggest political weapon. Unfortunately in the last hour before the coup was to begin, Hunter Wolff was caught, tortured and killed by Corin Frei. He was too young and inexperienced, chances were never in his favor however he was expendable as well, so his loss is irrelevant.
The incrimination of Natio Octavarium. As ordered by Professor Yoshida, the operation started outside Planet Malta where I met Mr Oda for a cardamine run to Liberty. However the Hogosha were nowhere to be found, their contact status was offline. So I had to engage Mr Oda in pointless conversation a number of times in an effort to delay the convoy before reaching Kusari. Fortunately the Hogosha finally showed up and I guided them where to find us. That was a success and we got caught as planned. Then during the questioning, I incriminated us even further before leaving the NO- transport to speak. Among many things, the Natio Octavarium confirmed their relationship with the Hackers and the Outcasts and the Hogosha even learned that they own land on Planet Malta. Despite all this insults the Hogosha were very weak in their questioning, they pressed very little and their acting was horrendous. They didn't even threaten Natio Octavarium that they would get reported to Kusarian authorities. Fortunately that was enough however as NO took the bait as we hoped they would. [ 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 ] After we were "forced" to return to Tau-23, we used the Tau-29 anomaly and then the Coronado-Baffin corridor to reach Mactan Base where we sold the cardamine. Finally, we also discussed the latest events on Planet Malta with the breakout of hostilities between The Order and the Outcasts. As instructed, I informed Mr Oda that the Lane Hackers will not tolerate any attacks against Planet Malta itself by The Order and that can be considered as casus belli considering the planet's sensitivity and importance to our livelihood.
Purchase of jump/scan equipment and a Bustard. In an effort to create missions and operations which are even more sophisticated and complicated the Professorship decided to obtain scanning and jumping equipment as well as a large enough ship which was capable of performing such feat. We know that the Zoners produce and sell a civilian "Light Carrier" named Bustard. Subsequently I decided to contact our local friends in Galileo, the Freeport 12 Zoners. After meeting them onboard their Freeport I can say that they are a friendly and harmless bunch who are eager to keep us satisfied, so they procured all these items on our behalf and then sold them to us in a much lower price than the one they originally paid. It was a very good deal and now the Inner Circle has a fully equipped Abductor.
I dug up my old files and found a 40-month old report in which I performed not one but three extortions on a freighter or light fighter. Today's criteria sadly seem to be much much easier than those in the past: [ 1 | 2 | 3 ]
Entrepreneurship
Sent a message to the Boss of the Liberty Rogues in order to inform him about the upcoming invasion of Vespucci system. The meeting was held outside of Fort McMurray and was a success. The Rogues are fully onboard with the plan. Afterwards, three of their transports along with mine grabbed some workers who had to be moved to Planet Malta. After delivering them we bought freshly-harvested cardamine for Leiden Base. The convoy was successful and uneventful and I think the Rogues appreciated working with them. They were a liability, I admit, but sometimes we should do things together. [ 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 ]
Barter
Exchange of x2 Vindicators and x16 Hellflurries for x6 Aspis-class Battletransports. The deal was made with Cristina Martelli of the National Council. [ 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 ]
Over the years I have leaked two major stories on Channel 45 in order to politically damage the Crayterians and in the other to sour the Ageira - Universal relations.
Espionage
While travelling in Omicron Alpha system I encountered a TAZ ship coming out from Omicron Phi jump hole. I started a friendly chat with him and he revealed he was exploring Omicron Phi and that he found a black hole and an Outcast church. Interestingly enough he even claimed he has permission from the Outcasts though his lie was extremely easy to tell. [ 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 ]
One of my most important diplomatic feats is leading the Lane Hacker delegation in the meeting with the Independent Miners' Guild and Crayter Republic and signing a formal ceasefire with the Republic.
As a final note, since economics and trade deals are my area of expertise, I wish to continue my career under the Influence mastery. Thank you.
