While rushing to Mactan base from the Cortez sector, I ran into a trader, BIP. A Universal Mammoth transporting Boron to the Bretonian territories. Being on a strict time frame, I did not have time to threaten, cajole, or persuade the vessel to donate the amount of credits befitting its crimes, so I merely asked for 500k credits, which was promptly handed over.
After reaching Mactan, I adjusted my IFF to indicate my status in the Lane Hacker Guard, which was the purpose of my little expedition.
Later on, I received a message from a Liberty Police Officer, Jacob Hasting. An Outcast and Hacker vessel, by the names of Zamfir and Solari, were under Naval fire in the Texas system. I was doubtful of the LPI officer's motives, however I left for Texas to help our allies.
By the time I arrived, Zamfir and Solari were under fire from four Navy or Bounty Hunter vessels. I did not manage to record all the names, however [LN]-Valence.Harper fell under combined fire from Zamfir and myself, with Zamfir scoring the killing blow. I destroyed a Navy bomber by the name of Jayne.Cobb. Unfortunately, Solari was destroyed in the battle, though it was still a resounding success. A total of 6 Navy allied vessels were destroyed, two of which were destroyed before I arrived in sector.
Also, that Liberty Officer that tipped me off to this engagement, Mr. Hasting? He defected from Liberty and joined the 522nd. During our battle with Naval forces, he managed to slip out of dock and made his escape. On my return to Mactan base, I was notified that he had transferred a large sum of credits into my account in exchange for the diversion that we created.
