This report is to sum up the past two days, not including today as I have not yet had the opportunity to launch.
Even though I have been accepted as a member of the Lane Hackers, I still needed to prove my worth to our allies. The easiest way to do this? Complete various missions assigned out of Mactan, as well as collecting pilots for mania-interrogation. Trust Gained Prisoners Prisoners Prisoners
Later that day, while outside Mactan with LH.Liparus and the LH.Interrogation, we spotted a Navy pilot with a Mercenary ID tag flying a Raven Claw fighter This Liberty drone had the sheer audacity to land on Mactan base, right underneath our noses! Base security was notified and the pilot attempted to escape, right into our waiting guns.
Later on, I engaged in Lane Hacking operations with LH|LostHighway. We came across a Humpback pilot, who was more than happy to donate some of his cardamine to support Lane Hacker operations. We then wished him well on his trip to Liberty, advising him of nearby patrols. If only every operation ended this way. Cardamine
Later on, LH|LostHighway and I encountered a smaller trade convoy, composed of two ships. Upon seeing that these corporate flunkies were intending to bring a load of Boron into the heart of Liberty, no doubt to support Ageira operations, we demanded payment. Rather than simply pay us, after trying to negotiate down our quite reasonable offer, they elected to run. Poor choice, Cosmo was slain, while WhiteShadow managed to escape. Our fee would have been a pittance in exchange for their lives, but they paid for their arrogance.
Regrettably, my gun cameras were offline so I could not record the destruction of one of the vessels.
At about the same time, we had an odd encounter to say the least with what appears to be an AI ship named 002. According to the craft's claims, it was approximately 67% artificial and 33% biological at the time of our encounter. Recognizing the obvious superiority of Lane Hacker technology, the AI scanned our ships, paying attention to LostHighway in particular. Having no affiliations with Liberty Navy, Police, or any of the corrupt organizations, we were content to let the ship go on its way, as it seemed primarily interested in the acquisition of credits. I did attempt to persuade it to obtain credits from Ageira Technologies, we shall see how that pans out.
