Greetings gentlemen, this is my first report to the Comm Channel. Undoubtely the cardamine in my veins has helped me to accomplish many things which I wouldn't believe I could. Probably the decision to join the Lane Hackers was one the best I have made and will make in my whole lifetime.
My Hellflurries have opened many corporate flunky hulls and some of the BAF ships too, who are stupid enough to leave unprotected the Leeds System and patrol Magellan. Probably their higher ups should get some cardamine to wake up. Anyway back to the report:
In a shift that I pulled up yesterday, I moved to the Leeds hole to hit the incoming traffic. However some moments later a BAF| gunboat and an escort jumped through who of course weren't quick enough to stop me leaving the area. Here are 2 scans from the gunboat: ••
Later, when the Armed Forces left the area, I extorted a Freelancer. He had rather valuable information, so I reduced my demand •• Afterall, Money isn't time but information, right?
Code:
X-Blade: Nikolai: I will make it worth your while.
X-Blade: Nikolai: Do you know of one with the ship name of "Thats.Mine"
Yoshida: No.. why?
X-Blade: Nikolai: He is tarnishing the name of the pirate.
Yoshida: and why you are telling me that thing?
X-Blade: Nikolai: If others keep at it like he does, there will be no more traders, no profit for either.
X-Blade: Nikolai: Because there may be something you can do about it.
X-Blade: Nikolai: Keep an eye out for him and those like him, and you will continue to profit.
X-Blade: Nikolai: He wants it all or nothing, and yet still fires upon those who comply.
X-Blade: Nikolai: *he looks down at the long range scanners* Good, then keep his ship name in mind. He flies with another.
X-Blade: Nikolai: Fahrenheit.
Yoshida: Who is that ?
Yoshida: Another pirate?
X-Blade: Nikolai: A reinforcer.
X-Blade: Nikolai: Yes...perhaps a body guard?
Yoshida: Maybe..
X-Blade: Nikolai: Standby for payment, Pirate. My thanks for letting me go and allowing me to keep my head above water, so to speak.
Yoshida: All this information
Yoshida: cuts the price
Yoshida: Now you need to pay 1.2mil
This Fahrenheit guy that X-Blade mentioned, I wasn't aware of him till today when he was hired by us to handle some other annoying people. Here is the story: I was covering the Leeds hole while some other colleagues were covering other spots in the Bretonian-Liberty axon.
There, a transport jumped through and some moments later a BAF| guy as well. I warned the BAF| that if he engages me, he will put in danger the transport he was supposed to defend, however both the transport and the Bretonian were reluctant to negotiate, so my colleagues arrived which took care of the officer and a BH gunship who also came while the mindless trader was tasting my Hellflurries: ••
However, in the begging only a LH gunship had arrived which of course had trouble against the BH Gunship and the Templar. So we hired Fahrenheit to help us against them. Probably Fahrenheit is working for the unlawful side and various pirates. Oh and yes, the gunship and the templar, were both destroyed and an USI escort who came in their support retreated on flames: ••••
Then another Bretonia Gunboat came and had a similar fate with the Ensign. After that, probably the Bretonians got angry and started sending real reinforcements, both BPA) and BAF| so I was forced to relocate the business to the California Gate in Cortez system. There, the traffic was quite good and the LH transports got some basic alloy from a fool Ageira ship, MOX from another Ageira|, an IC transport was also destroyed carrying Light Arms and Military Vehicles (possible contract with LN?) and I also found a Yacht who bought some software from our base. He was a good guy. Uploading data: ••••••••
Afterwards, I got reports that USI transport was coming from Kusari, so I moved to Colorado and found it in the Kepler Gate. The captain was unwilling to pay my reasonable demands and thought it would be a good idea to start running from my Light Fighter. Some moments later Mr Pistols arrived and the captain - after some moderate damage on his transport - jettisoned his cargo in order to survive. I guess his action to start running costed him 3 times more credits than by complying with my demand... I wonder how he will explain that to his corporate bosses.
After we secured the cargo, we run to help a RHA who was found by Navy and he was attempting to run to Rochester via the Copperton Asteroid Field. Probably he had some business there? Anyway, me and Mr Pistols found the RHA being attacked by 2 Navy Guardians. We engaged and successfully managed to keep them away from the RHA train which in the end it successfully cruised to safety. However, we continued fighting the Navy and when one of them disengaged, 2 XA eagles came to support the other LN. Quite funny, isn't it? Anyway, the fight went very well and both XA were punished for assisting the Navy which they are supposed to fight. Then the Naval officer's vessel was in flames before he left the area as well. After that I returned to Mactan finishing my long shift. Uploading data: •••••••
Oh this might look interesting. I got it several weeks ago. We extorted a heavily armoured Salvager moving Military Vehicles with Freelancer papers - maybe the congressmen will be interested in purchasing that info: ••
And by the way, a recent hacking in the Ageira Bounty Board, revealed that my activities are known and I have a bounty in my head. Guess that's because I do good work, right? Hopefully in the future I will gather more juicy information and extort more flunkies. Until then...
