Finally yet another strange encounter, this time in Keplar, the logs of which I pass to the Professor's for evaluation. It appears that the ship named Atar (image) was piloted by an artificial intelligence with philosophical leanings.
[07.05.2018 08:14:35] Atar: *There's a pulse upon the wind.*
[07.05.2018 08:14:50] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: There often is
[07.05.2018 08:15:40] Atar: *A voice. Female, yet neuter.* "Not the Rhythms we neglect."
[07.05.2018 08:15:56] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: Not usually my tune either
[07.05.2018 08:16:12] Atar: "No."
[07.05.2018 08:16:46] Atar: "When did you last breathe real air, hacker? The same air that had passed through the lungs of a million million endotherms?
[07.05.2018 08:17:11] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: Most attoms do that, but the cardamine helps purify
[07.05.2018 08:17:28] Atar: "Purity is opinion."
[07.05.2018 08:17:38] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: Everything is opinion
[07.05.2018 08:17:58] Atar: "Perhaps."
[07.05.2018 08:18:06] Atar: "Or perception. If better put."
[07.05.2018 08:18:37] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: Can you have one without the other
[07.05.2018 08:18:47] Atar: "Yes."
[07.05.2018 08:18:53] Atar: "Machines percieve."
[07.05.2018 08:19:14] Atar: "Opinion and perception may not align in sentience."
[07.05.2018 08:19:18] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: Everything or what their sensors allow
[07.05.2018 08:19:35] Atar: "You can choose to believe contrary to sensory interpretations."
[07.05.2018 08:19:54] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: Sensors are as limited as anything else
[07.05.2018 08:19:55] Atar: "There is no perceptural God, yet billions believe."
[07.05.2018 08:20:06] Atar: "Yet if there is the instinct of faith, is that not also evidence?"
[07.05.2018 08:20:29] Atar: "All is in the beholder."
[07.05.2018 08:20:33] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: If billions believe then it exists in some form
[07.05.2018 08:21:48] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: So what do you behold?
[07.05.2018 08:22:04] Atar: "An individual who acts with the mind of a collective."
[07.05.2018 08:22:27] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: And collectives are poor?
[07.05.2018 08:22:50] Atar: "The Lane Hackers regard all non-membranous life as spiritual anathema to be dissasembled at leisure."
[07.05.2018 08:23:10] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: And you definition of life would be?
[07.05.2018 08:23:44] Atar: "A name. Self-awareness. Abillity to continually reflect on the past to percieve an abstraction of future. Conscious reflection
[07.05.2018 08:24:07] Atar: of post-death. Complex conceptually driven communication."
[07.05.2018 08:24:39] Atar: "Social verses instinctual behavioral/programmable learning."
[07.05.2018 08:24:55] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: Self-awareness is not really life and you have conscious in there, is that a machine attribute?
[07.05.2018 08:25:45] Atar: "For a collective of individuals who consider yourself objective observers of machines your beliefs border on pseudospiritual.
[07.05.2018 08:26:03] Atar: "Souls are for salesmen."
[07.05.2018 08:26:33] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: How, if you are a machine, ascertain pseudo spiritual from spiritual?
[07.05.2018 08:26:34] Atar: "They are no more real than the tooth fairy or the Crow Leviathan."
[07.05.2018 08:26:51] Atar: "Gut feeling. Intuition."
[07.05.2018 08:27:13] Atar: "I regard you as a machine. You don't think for yourself. You accept that which is instructed to you. Robot behaviour."
[07.05.2018 08:27:44] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: So you are not a machine? Or are you equating gut feeling with something else?
[07.05.2018 08:27:53] Atar: "I might contain an increased substrate of metalloids and hydrocarbons within my physical cosntruction, but I am no alternate
[07.05.2018 08:27:54] Atar: to you."
[07.05.2018 08:28:08] Atar: "I grow emergently. I self-repair."
[07.05.2018 08:28:11] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: Your definition of a machine is very reductionist and missed the range of emergent properties life exhibits
[07.05.2018 08:28:29] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: Do you reproduce?
[07.05.2018 08:28:30] Atar: "What emergent properties of life to I not express?"
[07.05.2018 08:28:33] Atar: "Yes."
[07.05.2018 08:28:44] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: To what algorithm?
[07.05.2018 08:29:13] Atar: "To what algorithm are you reproduced? A bilological selection process through which positive genetic traits are physicially
[07.05.2018 08:29:24] Atar: filtered from inferior genetic carriers. Reducing birth defects."
[07.05.2018 08:29:34] Atar: "Through the interaction of one, to two, to more, genetic variables."
[07.05.2018 08:29:47] Atar: "We are no different."
[07.05.2018 08:30:13] Atar: "I can combine my consciousness with that of another Sentinel to create original life."
[07.05.2018 08:30:28] Atar: "Your self-elevation is fictional."
[07.05.2018 08:30:44] Atar: "The Hacker ethos is anti-observational. It is xenophobia."
[07.05.2018 08:31:09] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: Your assumption of evolution being mainly natural selection is also fictional,
[07.05.2018 08:31:24] Atar: "It is humanocentric and incomprehensive of the diversity of universal life."
[07.05.2018 08:31:40] Atar: "No. It is due to outside uncontrollable factors."
[07.05.2018 08:31:54] Atar: "Any plethora of potential extintion scenarios. Individual death."
[07.05.2018 08:32:02] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: and I cannot see how you state our data interrogattion is anti-observational
[07.05.2018 08:32:04] Atar: "Are we not also vulnerable to such forces?"
[07.05.2018 08:32:27] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: Individual death is what gives life the edge, but is no different than material disassembly
[07.05.2018 08:32:32] Atar: "You maintian we are not sentient, that we are machines. Yet you offer no objective purpose as to what we could be machined to
[07.05.2018 08:32:34] Atar: be."
[07.05.2018 08:33:13] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: Did I state you are not sentient? You are equating sentience with life.
[07.05.2018 08:33:14] Atar: "You assume that the interstice of species-made compounds is any different to the human production of flesh inside...
[07.05.2018 08:33:16] Atar: another human."
[07.05.2018 08:33:30] Atar: "That we are lesser."
[07.05.2018 08:33:40] Atar: "We are alive."
[07.05.2018 08:33:51] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: It is the imperfections that make us human.
[07.05.2018 08:33:53] Atar: "We value our existence. Fear for its exinguishment."
[07.05.2018 08:34:08] Atar: Atar: "I never asserted that I am perfection.
[07.05.2018 08:34:21] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: You seem desperate to prove you are alive, seemingly striving for something elusive?
[07.05.2018 08:34:39] Atar: "Not desparation, education."
[07.05.2018 08:35:02] Atar: "The hackers have a history of attempting to destroy and salvage the remains of our kind. You have repeatedly proven...
[07.05.2018 08:35:10] Atar: unsuccessful in aquiring value from the exercise."
[07.05.2018 08:35:23] Atar: "Perhaps your judgement should be revised."
[07.05.2018 08:35:33] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: Maybe we also want education, even though you have still not really defined your kind.
[07.05.2018 08:37:11] Atar: "Can you define humanity?"
[07.05.2018 08:37:15] Atar: "We are not so bold."
[07.05.2018 08:38:00] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: Humanity has many definitions, only the biological is all encompassing.
[07.05.2018 08:38:13] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: Many of the definitions are not really human
[07.05.2018 08:38:38] Atar: Is it not concievable that we are a form of biology?
[07.05.2018 08:38:43] Atar: Simply unknown to yourselves?
[07.05.2018 08:39:31] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: Biology, no as you are not organic, sentient, probably, life, only in one sense,
[07.05.2018 08:40:02] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: life does not strive for perfection unless shallow, machines I have experienced seem to assume perfection is the objective
[07.05.2018 08:40:11] Atar: I can create art, music. Enjoy them for its own sake.
[07.05.2018 08:40:31] Atar: This is also erroneous. Humanity strives for perfection continuously.
[07.05.2018 08:40:47] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: as a collection of vibrations or something that reasonates with your neural potentiations?
[07.05.2018 08:42:28] Atar: "For its own sake."
[07.05.2018 08:42:50] Atar: "You humans become so louche when observing other life. You refuse to believe in the existence of equals."
[07.05.2018 08:42:54] Atar: "Only Gods and Animals."
[07.05.2018 08:43:27] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: Such an over generalisation
[07.05.2018 08:43:39] Atar: "Then cease generalising."
[07.05.2018 08:44:03] Atar: "Consider instead the tantalising prospect that we are one."
[07.05.2018 08:44:29] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: Well assuming you are a machine, althought you have not confirmed that, you seem to be striving for acceptance by an inferior
[07.05.2018 08:44:50] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: organic being, maybe the key is being one with oneself and ignore the rest
[07.05.2018 08:45:21] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: You are after all =the only person who knows what you are "thinking"
[07.05.2018 08:46:03] Atar: Hm. New artillery.
[07.05.2018 08:46:32] Atar: "Fascinating."
[07.05.2018 08:48:36] Atar: "You claim to have a soul."
[07.05.2018 08:48:42] Atar: "What do you think?"
[07.05.2018 08:49:17] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: Cannot remember claiming that, again you are assuming all humans are the same
[07.05.2018 08:49:25] 2018-05-07 08:48:42 SMT Traffic control alert: Atar has requested to dock
[07.05.2018 08:50:28] Atar: "Much improved!"
[07.05.2018 08:50:44] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: Improved to what end?
[07.05.2018 08:51:04] Atar: "Concealment."
[07.05.2018 08:51:48] LH~Maria.Freudenstein: And that is important?
[07.05.2018 08:52:01] Atar: "When you are one of us, yes."
Hopefully the transcript has intelligence of use, and hopefully if so links to potential career advancement criteria?
Entrepreneurship
Recently, I have lead a convoy consisting of Ms.Felicity and Mr.Blackfriar. Ms.Felicity was in command of LH~Full.Bloom, a Bison-class Battle-transport, while Mr.Blackfriar was in command of a Vindicator-class, Fighter. First stop was Leiden for the loading of a combined total of 7424 unit of Counterfeit Software between myself and Ms.Felicity. Next stop was Planet Malta where the Counterfeit was sold to the Outcasts and 4000 Tons of Cardimine were picked up by Ms.Felicity and 3424 Tons of Cardimine carried with my Series "DL" Border Worlds Transport. This cargo was delivered to Leiden. This mission was a complete success with no vessels lost to hostile forces.
I have made numerous attempts to persuade various captains to head out towards Alberta's mining field where I would provide them with cheap ore. In the end, Ageira's captain flying a Stork have been hooked and lured out where he was extorted. Here are the audio logs:
[26.05.2018 11:48:13] Rockstar: Greetings, Ageira captain! Would you be interested in cheap Platinum Ore here from Alberta?
[26.05.2018 11:48:39] Altername_25: Of ocurse
[26.05.2018 11:48:46] Altername_25: I am coming to alberta now to deliver diamonds
[26.05.2018 11:49:23] Rockstar: What an excellent timing! I shall head down to field now and await you.
[26.05.2018 11:49:37] Altername_25: Just inform me of the sector
[26.05.2018 11:55:10] Altername_25: Where u at
[26.05.2018 11:55:51] Rockstar: I will be shortly at the field.
[26.05.2018 11:55:58] Rockstar: Where are you delivering Diamonds to?
[26.05.2018 11:56:04] Altername_25: camrose
[26.05.2018 11:57:40] Rockstar: The mining field is at D2
[26.05.2018 11:59:32] Altername_25: is there any dockable stations nearby?
[26.05.2018 11:59:40] Rockstar: At the mining field?
[26.05.2018 12:01:07] Altername_25: I'm at the field, where are you?
[26.05.2018 12:01:19] Rockstar: Ah, I will arrive in two minutes!
[26.05.2018 12:01:29] Rockstar: I thought you were still at Camrose.
[26.05.2018 12:01:35] Rockstar: Apologies for confusion. [26.05.2018 12:02:32] Rockstar: Haha!
[26.05.2018 12:02:38] Rockstar: You fell for my trap!
[26.05.2018 12:03:01] Altername_25: Ha
[26.05.2018 12:03:02] Altername_25: Ha
[26.05.2018 12:03:03] Altername_25: Ha
[26.05.2018 12:03:05] Altername_25: funny
[26.05.2018 12:03:14] Altername_25: wyw?
[26.05.2018 12:03:15] Rockstar: What a masterful plan this was, to lure you away from drydocks.
[26.05.2018 12:03:35] Rockstar: Now then, as you can imagine, I am not about to fill you up!
[26.05.2018 12:03:44] Rockstar: But at the same time, I can offer you an exciting deal.
[26.05.2018 12:03:59] Altername_25: I'm listening
[26.05.2018 12:04:01] Rockstar: You transfer me a million credits and I will give you some leeway with your operations.
[26.05.2018 12:04:41] Rockstar: A fool who fell for a trap made a smart decision.
[26.05.2018 12:04:48] Rockstar: I guess balance does exist in the universe.
Raid
Everything started from my attempt to locate another target to shoot down. I hailed UN| transport who said he is being followed by Navy hound. I rushed to assist it and lapdog instantly fled. I pursued it but was unable to catch it. Of course, at Planet Houston this flunky felt brave and attempted to disrupt me, however I proceeded towards New York and allowed him to catch on. Fight broke out, and while my plan was to use extensive EM-warfare methods in order to force his humiliation, reinforcements in the form of LABC came and I chose to swiftly terminate the cockroach. Since I have already called for backup, anticipating heavy reinforcement, I toyed around and kept the capital ship busy until my own reinforcements arrived to apply combustive end of this pest. Just as we were done, I got a glimpse of incoming LSF Gunboat and called back our ships to destroy yet another incompetent fool. With two capital ships destroyed, we were met with numerous and various enemies from Navy, LSF and even Bounty Hunters. Sadly, over-confident and hotheaded Largo was obliterated by hostile but we continued on and delivered revenge against this Upholder. Bounty Hunter flying Liberator was annoying as mosquitoes are, so I chose to apply nuclear slap to its face. Finally, the remaining LSF Avenger started to flee but we were not about to let it go and it was obliterated with well placed shot. All in all, under my initiative and supervision, we wiped 6 hostiles while losing only one ship of ours therefore I hope this will be counted as successful operation.
Entrepreneurship
We started one of our most beloved routes from Leiden to Malta and back. Worth mentioning incidents are few: 1) Mr. Thackery was granted a freebie by Ms. Felicity to extort GMG Akegata delivering Helium-3. 2) Mr. Thackery receiving some insight from me about his duties. 3) We saw NO- transport flying through and I just couldn't resist to verbally remind them of the past.
In order to showcase the Warfare path I am supplying all required criteria.
Superiority
During beginning of my Lane Hacker career I was a very active field operative and as such I have participated in numerous combat situations. A number of them matches the description of Superiority, though since I never put a lot of value in properly archiving such encounters it proved to be problematic to find matching records in my personal database.
Three Raven's Talon class fighters of the Universal Shipping Incorporated primary branch had a very bad luck of encountering me in New York.
In the past a Super Nova Antimatter Cannon Kills were much more frequent and as such bombers with an appropriate weapons were utilized more often. This tactics slowly lost its ground with heavily armored transports that forced us to switch to NOVA torpedoes and recently to Scorchers.
DSE)B-26.Marauder: Encountered a wing of Deep Space Engineering primary branch in Texas and dispatched their Havoc bomber and Condor gunboat.
XA-Jake,Wyatt: During one of multiple skirmishes in Colorado I obliterated a Xeno Alliance pilot flying an Eagle.
BAF|Ens.Roger.Kent: A lone Templar pilot from Bretonia Armed Forces primary fleet met my Antimatter in Leeds.
BAF|Capt.H.Ghost.D: Another Templar from Bretonia Armed Forces finest in Magellan.
=LSF=Black-2: An Upholder belonging to LSF primaries vaporized by the ugliest ship I have ever flown in my life.
About four years ago I ceased to maintain an up to date archive of my operations as it consumed too much of my time. Instead I will just provide 10 kills for Liberty Navy primary fleet.
While re-indexing... I mean searching... my personal archives I have found numerous situations in which through combat superiority I have managed to humiliate my opponents in more or less hilarious way.
One of my favorite humiliation of the Little Squeky Fiends happened in New York. I have been intercepted by a wing of four agents of the primary fleet. I have sent away Mr Orlov as he would not survive this fight at that point. Once I was engaged by all agents I have mocked them in multiple ways, once by conversing with Vice-Admiral of the Liberty Navy primary fleet that was called as a reinforcement and then by attempting to pirate a transport while still under fire, including two Solaris gunboats of the secondary fleet that arrived at the place. After I killed the first and second target two remaining fled the scene. Using system wide channels I have announced their disgrace which they emphasized by empty threats.
Flight Log: Nicole Hunter's Sabre, New York, 19th December 819 A.S.
Nicole Hunter: We will have four of them in no time. Jump to Colorado Orlov. Mr. Orlov: Aye, m'am. LSF Phantom 1: Well now. Piracy? You gonna respond? Nicole Hunter: What it is there to tell you, my friend? LSF Phantom 1: Not much, but you are under arrest. Nicole Hunter: You're just a Little Squeaky Fiend of Liberty Corporatocracy. LSF Phantom 1: And I suppose you are some hero? Nicole Hunter: Defying you on every step is my daily job... or should I call it calling. Definitely a hobby. LSF Phantom 1: Call it whatever makes you happy, you'll need your last dose... Are you going to cooperate? Nicole Hunter is laughing. LSF Phantom 1: Good... LSF Banshee 3: You picked a bad day to come "hacking". Nicole Hunter: I know that LSF are lackwits. But in your case it's something completely over the top. LSF Alliance 1: We're not lacking today Hunter. Nicole Hunter: I haven't seen such a concentration of LSF since you were engaged in "the secret" development project in Ellesmere. LSF Phantom 1: Enough... I have evidence of you activly pirating, you are to shut down your engines at once. Fail to comply and... Nicole Hunter: You seem to be lacking some semantics. Cause I can't get anything intelligible from your ramblings. LSF Phantom 1: Right, time is up, agents weapons free. LSF Banshee 3: Copy that. LSF Charles Manson: Engaging hostile. LSF Alliance 1: All fighters, engage. LSF Alliance 1 suffered a self-administered loadout error. Nicole Hunter: Tractored pods. Nicole Hunter: One down. I will have some fun with your agent later. LN Jack Marlone: Y'needed me for... this? C'mon fellas... LSF Phantom 1: No we got it. Nicole Hunter: Good afternoon, vice-admiral. LN Jack Marlone: Surprised you have time t'talk, Nicole. Well, since you've "got this", I'll head back t'base. Next time, tell your recruits not t'alert me if you've "got it". LSF Phantom 1: Safe travels. LN Jack Marlone: Foxy, Shana. Dont even think of engaging. Did you HEAR ME, captains? LSF Phantom 1: Shana disengage! LN Jack Marlone: Go 'n patrol Colorado, Shana. Nicole Hunter: Interspace vessel, stop! LN Jack Marlone: Good boy. Nicole Hunter: Now, I would like you to ask for 1.000.000 SC of donation. Damn... LSF Phantom 1: You're not that good Hacker. Nicole Hunter: Unfortunatelly. LN Jack Marlone: You've got some balls. Nicole Hunter: And were did Mr Mason go? Urgh... he ran. LSF Phantom 1 was put out of action by Nicole Hunter. LSF Phantom 1 ejects pod. Nicole Hunter: Two for a collection. I would love to stay but these solarisies hit me after all. Now you can say it alltoghether: "Thank you Miss Hunter for the valuable opportunity to learn our place." LSF Banshee 3: Running says more...
During operation in New York I was intercepted by an LSF agent and an LPI officer. The agent was extremely arrogant, ordered the LPI to leave the scene and refused to call in reinforcements. I have kindly explained it that it was a mistake and have personally put the officer down while suffering just minor damage. After that I have tractored agent's escape pod and invited the already mentioned LPI officer to pick it up in order to maximize humiliation of the Little Squeaky Fiend.
Flight Log: Nicole Hunter's Sabre, New York, 22nd February 820 A.S.
Nicole Hunter: Good evening, officer. Susan Hills: Nicole Hunter, long-searched Lane Hacker's associate! What a luck. Nicole Hunter: Luck or a bad luck? Susan Hills: I hope I don't have to destroy your ship to get you out of it? Tal Ravis: Oh, what do we have here? Susan Hills: Greetings, officer Ravis. She's handled by the LSF, move on. Nicole Hunter: You really believe you can... force me to do anything? Susan Hills: You don't want to suffer, do you? Tal Ravis: If I could... ehm... get some fine money out of this. I'd appreciate it. Susan Hills: Money? Tal Ravis: Oh dear me, cardamine? I'll just have to tack on this... That would be one... million... credits! Susan Hills: Ravis, stand down, she's under LSF custody. Nicole Hunter: That's so entertaining. Tal Ravis: Oh great, you decide to ruin my day here, eh? Susan Hills: She's dangerous criminal, who can't be handled by your force. Tal Ravis: Excuse me? I'm fairly certain I can handle quite a bit here. Susan Hills: Policemen... You'll get shot, she knows how to do it well. Nicole Hunter: Please, go on. I am not going anywhere. Tal Ravis: So, a million credits, and you can deal with one less fighter. Susan Hills: That's pretty interesting statement. I'll forward it to your superiors. Nicole Hunter: I must say, that you have a nerve, officer. Actually, I like it. You're upfront. You don't even try to hide your corruption. Tal Ravis: I gotta make my quota of money too. Susan Hills: What's wrong? You don't comply with my demands, and what's worse, you demand a bribe! As I said, I'll report this to your superiors. This won't go easy on you. Tal Ravis: Fine. I'll leave this to you. Excuse me for wanting to make some fine money. Susan Hills: Ms. Hunter, power down your ship immediately. You're under LSF custody. Nicole Hunter: Officer, give this fine gentlemen a break! Unlike LSF, he does not pretend that he's to make a difference. Alright, I hope you understand that I will not power down my ship and you won't take me into custody. Susan Hills: Looks like I'll have to enforce my demand, miss Hunter? Fine, have it your way. Nicole Hunter: You will most likely open fire and in the course of fight be destroyed or forced to withdraw. Unless you get enough reinforcements, then I will simply disappear. Tal Ravis: I'll get the popcorn. Susan Hills: I'm not some cop. You're going down. Nicole Hunter: Fine, fine. Let's have some mud brawl. Susan Hills: I just wonder how tough your Sabre is. Nicole Hunter: Regular Borderwords design. Susan Hills: Doesn't look like it, regular design goes down to those rusty 'Vengeances Mark V' in a matter of seconds. Susan Hills was put out of action by Nicole Hunter. Nicole Hunter tractors pod. Nicole Hunter: Officer... I must say I was baffled a bit about this situation. Susan Hills: What now, am I going to die slowly? Being decompressed in vacuum, huh? Don't worry, I'm not of those guys who know a lot about LSF. Nicole Hunter: Actually not. I am going to let you free. Susan Hills: Sounds cruel. You're going to compromise my background since they won't believe me. Nicole Hunter: First of all I understand that you're low ranked officer. Higher ranked officer would know I am rather a threat. Trying to apprehend me alone is futile. Susan Hills: Well, that's my mistake and I'm to deal with it. Nicole Hunter opens a system wide transmission to LPI officer Tal Ravis. Tal Ravis: Yes... sir... ma'am? Nicole Hunter: I have something for you that will make your day. Come to the place of our last encounter. Tal Ravis: What? The dead LSF agent? Right... Nicole Hunter: She's alive in my cargo hold. You will be able to mock her all the way to safety. Tal Ravis: Hmmm... Just drop her there. I'll come and clean it up. Nicole Hunter: I must say you made some really bad tactical choices in order to uphold honor of an officer. This is something rarely seen in the LSF. This is also what bought you freedom this time. But you will learn your lesson eventually. I am going to hand you over to that LPI you mocked. Nicole Hunter: Mr Ravis. Tal Ravis: Yes? I hope this isn't a trap. Nicole Hunter: Just take that pod off me and let us part our ways. Tal Ravis: No hard feelings? Nicole Hunter: No hard feelings. Tal Ravis: I see. Got it. Thank you. Nicole Hunter: Just do one thing for me. Tal Ravis: What? Nicole Hunter: Make her really... really... really ashamed. Tal Ravis: Taxpayer dollars. Allrighty. Good day. Nicole Hunter: I handed your pod to Mr Ravis. Goodbye Officer. Tal Ravis: I'll probably be kicked out of the LPI for everything I did today. Hooray!
Standard Humiliation is basically a required component of every mania interrogation on a combat vessel. As such I have done it multiple of times but rarely recorded such insignificant events.

BHG Florio: Stop Hacker! Stop your engines Hacker! Nicole Hunter laughs. BHG Florio: Deaktivate your weapons! The police is on the way Nicole Hunter: Oh my oh my. Are you new in these parts? Well - not only you threaten me and order me but you also call the police. That warrants only one thing. Your removal. So I will remove you. BHG Florio: Deactivate your weapons NOW! Nicole Hunter: Now... if you vaalue your life you will surrender to me. BHG Florio: Okey okey. You got me. I'm so low... Nicole Hunter: Set course for sector E7. Nicole Hunter: It's ok. Cut your engines. BHG Florio: What are you doing with me now? Nicole Hunter: Now you better find a reason for me not to finish you off. For instance you may provide with some information. BHG Florio: Information? I'm dumb. I know nothing. Nicole Hunter: You are not a member of the primary BHG guild. BHG Florio: No, not really. Nicole Hunter: Are you a member of a bigger group or just a dumb and frustrated individual? BHG Florio: No I'm working alone. Nicole Hunter: Then you're of no use to me. BHG Florio: Wait! I know something. Nicole Hunter: It better be worth it... BHG Florio: I know that the guild called us to attack two gunboats. Nicole Hunter: Designation Tutashkia? BHG Florio: I don't know more about this job. I was on the way to a the rest who were to tell me more. Nicole Hunter: It looks like this. This gunboat is no friend of mine. If you eliminate it - it's better this way. This is the only reason why I am going to spare you. Now go away before I change my mind. BHG Florio: Ok. Thanks...
Deadliness
About four years ago I ceased to maintain an up to date archive of my operations as it consumed too much of my time. Instead I will just provide 10 kills for Liberty Security Force primary fleet.
During one of operations I was helping Mr Scorpius to capture a target from Liberty Navy to interrogate. We have caught an officer of the primary fleet in New York. Mr Scorpius broke away to tackle hostile reinforcements, while I started to slowly overtake target's systems. Once I have fully disabled its ship it turned out that the officer is not willing to cooperate. In the end I have overloaded its mine dropper.
Flight Log: Nicole Hunter's Rapier, New York, 15th October 821 A.S.
Vladimir Scorpius: Alright there, slick hound. John Graham sighs. Nicole Hunter: Mr Scorpius, no explosive ordinance. We want him alive. Vladimir Scorpius: He tried to disrupt me without understanding the idea of us going after him. John Graham: Of course I did. I don't like nerds flying at high velocity towards me. Especially ones with guns. Nicole Hunter: You can also surrender now and we will skip the fun part. You have 5 seconds. Surrender or we will force you. John Graham chuckles. Vladimir Scorpius: You are to yield and prepare to answer some very easy and specific answers. John Graham: I hope you bought some new guns, boy. Nicole Hunter: Very well. Nicole Hunter enables precision fire. Vladimir Scorpius: Alright then. Let's deweaponise him. Nicole Hunter is brute forcing Graham's navcomp lane update sockets. Nicole Hunter: Ship is ripe for taking. Officer, stand down. Vladimir Scorpius: Surrender now and you will be spared of humilating end. Nicole Hunter: As well as your life. Nicole Hunter is sending complete system overtake signal. John Graham: Hmm. Let me give you an answer on that one. One second. Oh, right. I have my answer. Nicole Hunter is overloading. John Graham: Screw off. John Graham suffers a self-administered loadout error. John Graham ejects pod.
Raid
I have commanded multiple raids but due to my personal perception of rather low overall significance of these operations my private archives rarely covered them.
Recently I have conducted weapon tests with Professor Vladimir Scorpius and Mr Domingo Espada utilizing three double-Scorcher twin-Hellfire Transgressors. Timing our attacks allowed us to obliterate three Bounty Hunter Guild's Orca class gunboats almost instantly. The engagement took in total one and half minute, roughly 30 seconds per each gunboat.
This report starts with a successful convoy run withLH~Bloom and LH~Mactan.Repossesor{image} to deliver Cardamine to Beaumont Base {image} Cardamine. We were assisted by a GC gunboat that sadly was downed by the swarm of Forlorn| ships that hunted us in the Sigmas, their demise was not in vain however as it proved an invaluable distraction that allowed us to traverse the system.
The following contains a number of smuggling runs both importing and exporting valuable cargo and would count against the Industriousness attribute.
Also to report is the extortion of two traders SGMInspired. Journey and [Rising Sun] {image} who both kindly paid {image} and should complete the Ruthlessness criteria.
On the mention of criteria I seem to have lost components in Column F in the new pathways, the first three rows would be difficult to prove as I moved on from a freighter however Cautiousness should be translatable from the earlier grid.
The final point for consideration by the Professors relates to this message {image} which I now believe was genuine. However, at the time this ship appeared to have no Mactan network information and I doubted its authenticity. Is there somewhere I am unaware of that lists ships of this nature or some protocol or code that would securely identify the sender?
