I wish to share with you the recent adventures of Adrian The Lane Hacker. His first intention after induction was to recover all remaining hidden stashes of equipment left by Richard Fitzgerald who died tragically in an airlock incident at Pueblo Station several days ago. The dead man should be happy that most of his equipment was recovered and served to ease the hardships of our lovely Mr Malprave in fielding a fully capable combat freighter.
I must say that from the beginning Adrian was very eager to show his determination in fulfilling his new career path. On the way to Montezuma Base, even before the induction, he met a lone DSE transport at the Cortez Gate in California. The kind captain was very cultured and helpful. Not that much later in Magellan Adrian met a Kishiro transport captain who turned out to be a secret sympathizer and even provided him with some intelligence. A very good lad, indeed! Unfortunately, next attempts at finding volunteers for donations became much less successful. Our Adrian had to exterminate three Ageira transports, their gunboat escort and later not that intelligent Freelancer transport in California. Fortunately, during numerous chases in which BHG tried to kill our poor little friend, he managed to spot a BMM transport in Cortez. After loosing tail he approached it and kindly convinced using his charms to share some of his wealth.
Adrian got to know the hardships of operating in New York as well - which certainly helped him to increase his cautiousness. His attempt to extort primary Ageira target was interrupted by a Bounty Hunter. At least Adrian managed to perform a full scan of the ship. Unfortunately, during gatescape maneuver his console suddenly powered down and ship was destroyed. Adrian got his lesson from the Liberty Navy as well, when his unarmored Bactrian fallen after long chase in the Badlands to two 5th very heavy fighters and a gunboat. He will certainly wish to teach these bullies a lesson in future. During one of the close passes near Norfolk he took scans of a peculiar LPI Grizzly equipped with a cloaking device. Unfortunately, his operations in New York were once again interrupted by bloodthirsty Bounty Hunters. This time much more cautious and much more wiser Adrian managed to shake of several pursuits which included brilliantly performed gatescape while under fire from a seasoned killer. This close encounter encouraged Adrian to mount an armor on his trusty Bactrian which proved to be a wise decision in the light of increased Bounty Hunter presence and interest in his person. Oh, our poor Adrian. What did he do to deserve such a fate?
