Just like in other tasks I'm presented, I strive to complete the Lane Hacker path with perfection. In order to do that, I have started from the bottom, aiming towards rightfully reinstating my rank. I am presenting completion of the criterion detailed below.
Level 1
Distribution
The criterion was as trivial as it can be - I have manned the Runner and proceed towards New York in order to complete three import/export inter-House routes, as described in Lane Hacker operation manual. The operation went smoothly with minimal trouble from the Navy hounds.
As I was passing through California system, I have stumbled upon a Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing Shetland loaded with Plasmonic Metamaterials. I was being chased by a 6th Fleet battlecruiser so I had to quickly wrap things up and leave with no valid guncam of the cargo, but I have extorted one million out of him regardless.
Just as I was doing a run towards Airdrie, I have stumbled upon a LSF spook. After the small exchange of words I engaged him and disposed of him quickly enough. That's one less bastard to worry about.
In order to pursue the higher rank, I have focused my efforts into pursuing the criterion that leads me to higher rank. With the completion of Espionage, I will complete the Level 2 Intelligence path. The intelligence I have gathered during the espionage operation on the Gallic front lines is detailed below.
With the invasion of Leeds nearing its end and the Gallic preparations to push into New London, the EFL Oil & Machinery has been appointed to reconstruct the Gate leading from Leeds towards New London. Should they use it to launch an invasion force or to strengthen their rule in Bretonia by establishing trade routes after the war is still not known, but the current situation is very suitable for our cause.
With the incoming large shipments of Gallic Gate and Lane parts that'll be used in construction of the Gate and Trade lane leading to it, we have a chance to re-direct our efforts in Leeds and seize larger amounts of the said cargo in hope it'll give us a deeper insight into how the Gallic Gates and Lanes operate and how they can be hacked and utilized.
In order to pursue this task, I have moved my newly commisioned L-584-B "Oasis"-class Passenger Liner to Leeds to conduct cargo interdiction.
