Hello, Assassin Raphael Drake giving an update on the business between Mr.Vaughn and myself.
a few days ago the Laner Hacker inner circle has been contacted by an individual named Kyle Vaughn where he offered credits in return of information of what lies behind Zone-21 where I have stepped in an caught up the negotiations. However, I closed the final deal between Mr.Vaughn and myself yesterday around 19 UTC in the Coronado system. Special thanks go to my fellow Assassin colleague Kurt Ambrose. After the transfer of the Scanner and the Identification Scrambler, we talked about further business between our organizations, where Mr.Vaughn offered us a steady supply of Military Salvage from the Bering system. It will only take Battlegroup Harmony to convince to let them salvage the field for a brief cut to us and Harmony. I will upload all the records now from the meeting. I hope the Professors consider this for my process in the Barter and the Subterfuge category.
That is all for now, stay safe. Assassin Raphael Drake out.
[17.11.2019 19:02:48] Kyle.Vaughn: You are approximately 4 minutes late, Drake.
[17.11.2019 19:02:50] |\/|-Village.of.Scrap: ?: Hackers on scanner sir!
[17.11.2019 19:03:10] LH~Raphael.Drake: There were a few unwanted guests on our way.
[17.11.2019 19:03:12] Kyle.Vaughn: Don't shoot, they're expected.
[17.11.2019 19:03:28] LH~Raphael.Drake: This is also not the meeting point Mr.Vaughn.
[17.11.2019 19:03:37] Kyle.Vaughn: I know. Lets get moving.
[17.11.2019 19:03:42] Kyle.Vaughn: Off to Barrier Gate.
[17.11.2019 19:03:56] |\/|-Village.of.Scrap: ?: Entering formation!
[17.11.2019 19:03:58] |\/|-Vagrant: F: Activating Cruise engines
[17.11.2019 19:04:01] LH~Raphael.Drake: We also could sign the deal here.
[17.11.2019 19:04:04] LH~Raphael.Drake: Your decision.
[17.11.2019 19:04:23] Kyle.Vaughn: Up to you, but lets see that volcanic planet. Seems like a good place to seal a deal.
[17.11.2019 19:04:51] LH~Kurt.Ambrose,: Mmm very cinematic
[17.11.2019 19:05:01] Kyle.Vaughn: Socorro...yeah.
[17.11.2019 19:05:04] LH~Raphael.Drake: Indeed, a very beautiful sight.
[17.11.2019 19:05:19] Changing screen mode=full
[17.11.2019 19:05:23] Kyle.Vaughn: One would think Junkers don't have a good eye on art.
[17.11.2019 19:06:01] LH~Raphael.Drake: However, I brought what you wanted.
[17.11.2019 19:06:27] Kyle.Vaughn: Great. First - the transaction. Then we'll have a more indepth chatter. Afterall, this is money what we're after.
[17.11.2019 19:06:30] LH~Raphael.Drake: The Scanner and the necessary equipment for the scrambler.

[17.11.2019 19:06:58] 2019-11-17 19:06:56 SMT
[17.11.2019 19:07:08] Kyle.Vaughn: And the money for part of your job.
[17.11.2019 19:07:30] LH~Raphael.Drake: As I said, I'll keep working on that matter.
[17.11.2019 19:07:37] Kyle.Vaughn: Very good.
[17.11.2019 19:07:51] Kyle.Vaughn: Now, regarding the...more indepth cooperation.
[17.11.2019 19:08:18] Kyle.Vaughn: What could the Lane Hackers make use of specifically? Voltaic Junkers - my own little business as you can see...
[17.11.2019 19:08:24] Kyle.Vaughn: Have a wide array of goods to provide.
[17.11.2019 19:08:47] LH~Raphael.Drake: Well, the Junkers are mostly neutral individuals.
[17.11.2019 19:09:03] Kyle.Vaughn: Not so much with Liberty, as you can see.
[17.11.2019 19:09:13] Kyle.Vaughn: But yes, we are more or less neutral.
[17.11.2019 19:09:19] LH~Raphael.Drake: And some of them are working with us as the Junker Marauders for example.
[17.11.2019 19:09:38] Kyle.Vaughn: Haven't heard of them in years.
[17.11.2019 19:09:41] LH~Raphael.Drake: There are some people that do not like you in Liberty but everyone has their own opinion about your organization.
[17.11.2019 19:09:53] LH~Raphael.Drake: Yes, they're quite a rare sight.
[17.11.2019 19:10:29] Kyle.Vaughn: So, tell me.
[17.11.2019 19:10:43] Kyle.Vaughn: *Vaughn leans forward on his chair, smiling*
[17.11.2019 19:10:43] LH~Raphael.Drake: The Lane Hacker Job Board offers payment for either claimed kills or the supply of our bases with good credits.
[17.11.2019 19:11:05] Kyle.Vaughn: Only that? And I hoped I could offer something more...exotic.
[17.11.2019 19:11:15] LH~Raphael.Drake: Is there something in particular?
[17.11.2019 19:11:41] LH~Raphael.Drake: Just tell me what you are looking for, and I'll see if we can sign another deal.
[17.11.2019 19:11:42] Kyle.Vaughn: Military Salvage. Both of Liberty and Rheinland of origin. Black market munitions. High value artifacts.
[17.11.2019 19:12:06] Death: Arryxa was put out of action by UN|-Karl.Stein (Missile/Torpedo).
[17.11.2019 19:12:07] Kyle.Vaughn: The salvage on its own is almost intact.
[17.11.2019 19:12:24] LH~Raphael.Drake: The salvage of military wrecks is regulated by Battlegroup Harmony in Bering.
[17.11.2019 19:13:01] Kyle.Vaughn: And you can already scavenge them? Huh. First time I'd see Hackers digging in Junker boots.
[17.11.2019 19:13:02] LH~Raphael.Drake: I think our ambassador can lend you a helping hand there.
[17.11.2019 19:13:04] |\/|-Village.of.Scrap: ?: Battlegroup Harmony... the last time I saw them was a few months ago.
[17.11.2019 19:13:38] Kyle.Vaughn: Tell you what. You get us permission from Harmony to openly salvage what we find in Bering, and a part of the goods end up-
[17.11.2019 19:13:42] Kyle.Vaughn: in Hacker hands.
[17.11.2019 19:14:08] LH~Raphael.Drake: And what get's Harmony out of it?
[17.11.2019 19:14:31] Death: \*/~Foudroyant suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[17.11.2019 19:14:44] LH~Raphael.Drake: I think they would like to have their cut aswell.
[17.11.2019 19:15:05] Kyle.Vaughn: Good point. Lets say...in the future my people - me included - could arrange something.
[17.11.2019 19:15:19] Kyle.Vaughn: Salvaging ships as an example. More ships for the Harmony is a thing, you see.
[17.11.2019 19:16:15] Kyle.Vaughn: Possibilities are high. We can use some of that salvage in conjunctions with several third-parties into forming something new.
[17.11.2019 19:16:32] Kyle.Vaughn: New weaponry, new ship designs, in time, everything is possible.
[17.11.2019 19:17:09] LH~Raphael.Drake: So yeah, is there anything else?
[17.11.2019 19:17:25] Kyle.Vaughn: This is all I have in mind. Unless you want to suggest something.
[17.11.2019 19:17:35] LH~Raphael.Drake: I'm positive about the Harmony guys letting you salvage in their field for a cut, obviously.
[17.11.2019 19:18:06] Kyle.Vaughn: Now let me get you REAL interested, mister Drake.
[17.11.2019 19:18:29] Kyle.Vaughn: I have in mind that many organizations would want their hands on our scrap fields - especially what is in Bering.
[17.11.2019 19:18:52] Death: CNS-Sombrero suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[17.11.2019 19:18:56] Kyle.Vaughn: Naturally, I ask for what purpose do they need this loot. And maybe...that information could slip.
[17.11.2019 19:19:43] Kyle.Vaughn: It is always nice to know what your best arch-nemesis is up to. Or probably someone else.
[17.11.2019 19:19:45] LH~Raphael.Drake: Our situation with Bering is quite, frozen now.
[17.11.2019 19:19:53] Kyle.Vaughn: Hm? How so?
[17.11.2019 19:20:17] LH~Raphael.Drake: Let's say we have a problem with one of the parties in Bering.
[17.11.2019 19:20:36] Kyle.Vaughn: Which is?
[17.11.2019 19:21:11] LH~Raphael.Drake: You mentioned you were on Pacifica recently.
[17.11.2019 19:21:19] Kyle.Vaughn: Not yet.
[17.11.2019 19:21:25] LH~Raphael.Drake: Did the Unioners there not speak about us?
[17.11.2019 19:21:27] LH~Raphael.Drake: I see..
[17.11.2019 19:21:57] Kyle.Vaughn: I had a small talk with Gunda about my ship in question, the CV-2400. She never mentioned anything about you.
[17.11.2019 19:22:35] LH~Raphael.Drake: I don't want to go into details and so, basically our relation has seen better days.
[17.11.2019 19:23:02] Kyle.Vaughn: Please elaborate. I'm always interested in the information. You could say we have a common hobby.
[17.11.2019 19:23:23] LH~Raphael.Drake: Information is never free.
[17.11.2019 19:23:50] Kyle.Vaughn: Its not, but right now I can be your only insider if I deem it right. And I usually do.
[17.11.2019 19:24:48] LH~Raphael.Drake: We think that the Unioners have something that is rightfully ours. I do not know the exact details since I haven't been work-
[17.11.2019 19:24:51] LH~Raphael.Drake: ing on that mission.
[17.11.2019 19:25:10] Death: [LN]-Jeremiah.Sawyer was put out of action by [13th]Shadowwalker (Mine).
[17.11.2019 19:25:26] Kyle.Vaughn: ?: Is it a ship? If yes, I can figure something.
[17.11.2019 19:25:42] LH~Raphael.Drake: Indeed, it is a ship.
[17.11.2019 19:26:22] Kyle.Vaughn: ?: *Kyle laughs gently* Well our goods could be used to...inspect this ship.
[17.11.2019 19:26:42] Kyle.Vaughn: Junkers are never wrong when it comes to disassembling ship and see what makes it pop.
[17.11.2019 19:26:51] Kyle.Vaughn: Ships, rather.
[17.11.2019 19:27:24] LH~Raphael.Drake: Indeed, a very interesting offer here.
[17.11.2019 19:27:39] LH~Raphael.Drake: I'd have to consult with the Professors before taking on your offer.
[17.11.2019 19:27:52] LH~Raphael.Drake: Since I cannot decide everything on my own.
[17.11.2019 19:28:21] Kyle.Vaughn: Dependant...thats a minus, but then again - it's understandable.
[17.11.2019 19:28:41] Kyle.Vaughn: Keep this off the neural net, though.
[17.11.2019 19:28:52] LH~Raphael.Drake: Well, Mr.Vaughn, it's my job to be cautious and curious.
[17.11.2019 19:29:05] Kyle.Vaughn: I like the Alster Union, they're good guys. But I also have interests in the Hackers.
[17.11.2019 19:29:33] Kyle.Vaughn: So you see, I'm on a thin line that has to be kept hidden.
[17.11.2019 19:30:15] LH~Raphael.Drake: I see, sympathies for the Unioners..
[17.11.2019 19:30:37] Kyle.Vaughn: They are repairing The Black Liner - a beast that eats transports alive. And I owe them for that.
[17.11.2019 19:30:38] LH~Raphael.Drake: You'd have to prove your loyalty to us first before we'd work more closely together.
[17.11.2019 19:30:56] LH~Raphael.Drake: Reasonable, a man should always keep his word.
[17.11.2019 19:31:12] Kyle.Vaughn: I sympathize the Union, yes. But here's the thing.
[17.11.2019 19:31:29] Kyle.Vaughn: I don't act without a purpose.
[17.11.2019 19:31:50] Death: 5th|Nazawo.Ayato was put out of action by [13th]Shadowwalker (Gun).
[17.11.2019 19:31:56] LH~Raphael.Drake: And how would you decide, between our two organizations?
[17.11.2019 19:32:26] Kyle.Vaughn: I wouldn't. If ***** hits the fan, I'll stand aside.
[17.11.2019 19:32:31] LH~Raphael.Drake: If there would ever be this situation.
[17.11.2019 19:32:46] Kyle.Vaughn: I prefer not to take part in wars, mister Drake.
[17.11.2019 19:32:54] LH~Raphael.Drake: I see, and what if they blackmail you or offer you enough credits to dump on the side?
[17.11.2019 19:33:13] LH~Raphael.Drake: If they hit your weak spot, what will you do?
[17.11.2019 19:33:20] Kyle.Vaughn: I doubt they'll have 26 Billion credits.
[17.11.2019 19:33:46] LH~Raphael.Drake: So our "friendship" has already a value?
[17.11.2019 19:34:06] Kyle.Vaughn: Don't act like you don't think the same about me, mister Drake.
[17.11.2019 19:34:33] LH~Raphael.Drake: I mean, everyone has a weak spot, somewhere.
[17.11.2019 19:34:47] Kyle.Vaughn: And you think I am an idiot to say it outloud.
[17.11.2019 19:35:01] LH~Raphael.Drake: There are matters to find out mister Vaughn.
[17.11.2019 19:35:30] Kyle.Vaughn: I am offering you my help, with a risky price the Union will never achieve.
[17.11.2019 19:35:43] Kyle.Vaughn: They don't have the monetary power to buy me out.
[17.11.2019 19:35:50] LH~Raphael.Drake: And the Hackers have?
[17.11.2019 19:36:09] LH~Raphael.Drake: What exactly do you want from us? I doubt that you're satisfied with the scanner alone.
[17.11.2019 19:36:54] Kyle.Vaughn: What I want from any organization I work with: trust, cooperation, and business.
[17.11.2019 19:37:26] Kyle.Vaughn: You trust me, I trust you. You help me, I help you.
[17.11.2019 19:37:33] Kyle.Vaughn: It is a simple, yet effective spell.
[17.11.2019 19:37:41] LH~Raphael.Drake: Trust is built over time, mister Vaughn. Cooperation and business is always possible.
[17.11.2019 19:38:05] Kyle.Vaughn: This is what I am willing to build, Mister Drake.
[17.11.2019 19:38:18] Kyle.Vaughn: Scrap is material, trust on the other hand...is the true goal.
[17.11.2019 19:38:46] LH~Raphael.Drake: Good.
[17.11.2019 19:39:13] LH~Raphael.Drake: I'm sure we can make a deal with Battlegroup Harmony so you can freely salvage the field in Bering.
[17.11.2019 19:39:23] Kyle.Vaughn: Good. Very good.
[17.11.2019 19:39:43] Death: 5th|Grey.Evans suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[17.11.2019 19:39:43] Kyle.Vaughn: And keep the Unioner matter silent. Harmony seems too close to them.
[17.11.2019 19:39:51] LH~Raphael.Drake: It'll be simpler if you will also supply them with necessary scrap materials.
[17.11.2019 19:40:01] Kyle.Vaughn: It is possible.
[17.11.2019 19:40:11] LH~Raphael.Drake: That whole Unioner matter is a mess in my opinion.
[17.11.2019 19:40:24] Kyle.Vaughn: One which I don't want to spread out too much.
[17.11.2019 19:40:42] LH~Raphael.Drake: Yeah you don't want to be dragged into it, it's simpler for us all.
[17.11.2019 19:40:59] LH~Raphael.Drake: We already have enough trouble with some Freelancers that are helping the Unioners here and there.
[17.11.2019 19:41:14] Kyle.Vaughn: Honestly, I am interested to inspect this vessel you talk of.
[17.11.2019 19:41:37] Kyle.Vaughn: Lane Hackers could have their opinion, Unionists have theirs. But Junkers? A third party which lives out of checking every-
[17.11.2019 19:41:53] Kyle.Vaughn: -corner of a ship? I doubt we'd make biased mistakes.
[17.11.2019 19:42:03] LH~Raphael.Drake: I like to work with Junkers because they simply do not ask too many questions.
[17.11.2019 19:42:15] LH~Raphael.Drake: You pay them, they work, done.
[17.11.2019 19:43:20] Kyle.Vaughn: Should the Professors agree to my offer regarding your ship, I need your brief blueprints on the ship in question.
[17.11.2019 19:43:30] Kyle.Vaughn: No, I don't want to build it. It is to determine its parts.
[17.11.2019 19:43:45] Kyle.Vaughn: I will do the same with the Union, and inspect which is true and which is false.
[17.11.2019 19:44:05] LH~Raphael.Drake: I'll see what I can do about this matter.
[17.11.2019 19:44:14] Kyle.Vaughn: These blueprints will be kept under lock and key, obviously.
[17.11.2019 19:45:10] LH~Raphael.Drake: So if there are no more questions we'll be returning to Liberty.
[17.11.2019 19:45:18] Kyle.Vaughn: We'll do the same, then.
[17.11.2019 19:45:32] Kyle.Vaughn: Have a safe flight, Mister Drake. I hope to hear from you soon - privately.
[17.11.2019 19:45:43] LH~Raphael.Drake: We'll stay in contact mister Vaughn.
[17.11.2019 19:45:45] LH~Raphael.Drake: Stay safe.
[17.11.2019 19:45:52] LH~Raphael.Drake: Let's go, mister Ambrose.
[17.11.2019 19:45:59] |\/|-Village.of.Scrap: ?: Safe travel!
[17.11.2019 19:46:03] Kyle.Vaughn: You too. Alright, Village, Vagrant, lets go.
[17.11.2019 19:46:04] LH~Kurt.Ambrose,: On your six...
[17.11.2019 19:46:08] |\/|-Vagrant: F: Good Day Gents
[17.11.2019 19:46:08] Kyle.Vaughn: I hope you had a nice nap.
