"I am Johnathan Toledo, unlike the rest, I don't originate from Algeria, Instead from the tactical operators division of the LSF, recently however due to some conflicts and slight twists it was served in my best interests to leave. Spent most of what time I remember training with and without the LSF and looked to be set in for a long term service, however as things progressed and became increasingly complicated by external sources this became impossable. The code name that I was operating under was Sierra Seventeen which was commonly put on the local channels as =LSF=Sierra.
As for past history, joining the LSF has been the only notable event and the only time that I pop up on any type of radar, besides the occasional report to my handler (being one of the younger Agents to make it through I was assigned one) there has been no significant activity, Born on Manhattan to the Toledo family, Parents were the more out of vacation while a tutor and caretaker looked out for my wellbeing. The reason I wish to join the Lane Hackers, It is my understanding that the LSF have people that end up being expendables those that are sent on missions but not expected to return, people in such situations I would like to learn to help and relocate so that they might acquire their revenge on those that would have sent them to the grave. Beyond this I have my own personal troubles that the Hackers might be able to shield me from, however with paranoia I would humbly ask that if a requirement of diving further into that angle of my history be done in person.

I know this doesn't install much trust, but it has been explained on how you deal with infiltrators and as for my escape, something that was cooked up [Distress Beacon DATA]
My name is Cylek, and I have recently escaped from my former employer, Ageira technologies. While working for them, I noticed that a disturbing number of my colleagues seemed to be going missing. After a little searching, I found that several had been jailed, and others were killed in mysterious accidents. Several of those who had been killed were working on special projects geared toward data encryption and trade lane security, just like me.
With this information in mind, I hacked some of Ageira's more secure databases, and found a list of names. Following the data trail, I found that a significant sum of money had been forwarded along with the list to the bounty hunter's guild. My name was on it. Immediately, I packed my things, stole a starflier, and abandoned my old life. To this day, Ageira's forces, and those they hire continue to hunt me.
On the run alone, I didn't believe I stood much of a chance, so I took shelter with the Junkers, and later the liberty rogues and outcasts. Eventually, I found the Lane Hackers. Since then, I have worked towards purchasing a new ship, and better weapons. Cooperating with Junkers, Rogues, Outcasts, and Hackers, I have clawed my way forward, gaining enough credits to purchase a dagger (after purchasing a dagger, I ran several anti-xeno missions with a junker pilot). Also, I have gained the full confidence of the lane hackers I have worked with.
Proof of Dagger:
Proof of Confidence/Affiliation:
Other things of note that have happened so far include destroying resource depots (police, bounty hunters, and DSE), bounty hunters, police forces, and shipping company forces in Liberty, mostly in the New York system. Also, I met up with a group of Rogue and Outcast ships in California whom I joined in pirating a trade lane. I made 2 million credits before we moved into the New York system and engaged Navy and Police forces in a massive battle including several gunboats, cruisers, and a few battleships. More pilots joined in the fight every few minutes, Hackers, Rogues, and Outcasts poured in from every system. Unfortunately, much of the battle took place close to West Point Academy, and I was out-gunned from every direction. Also, one of the enemy gunboats kept docking and resupplying at West Point, making it difficult to finish off the enemy forces. Eventually the battle moved closer to Norfolk Shipyard, and unlawful forces were forced to retreat by the constantly incoming Navy and Police reinforcements.
I hope this message finds you in good health, and I would ask that you consider my request to formally join your faction. Contact me when you have made a decision. Until then, I will continue to work with unlawful forces in Liberty, disrupting trade and harassing Liberty 'peacekeeping' forces.
Best of wishes to you,
P.S. Also, the reason I wish to join you instead of those other groups I've worked with is because you steadfastly oppose Ageira, I have a love of hacking, and you have smuggling opportunities. All these combined make the Lane Hackers a promising prospect.

Said the pirate to the merchant: Your money or your life?
Merchant: What was the question?
Pirate: Pay or Die!
Merchant: That's not a question.
Pirate: Hand over 2 mil you corporate flunky, or be atomically disgronified!
Merchant: Sorry, I can't hear you, too busy docking.
Pirate: Wha... Dang it. *Turns to the new recruits* And that is why you shoot the trader who refuses to cut his engines. You just have to make sure you asked them to stop, and threatened them properly before you space them. Also, record your conversations in case the dead come back to complain. That's how it works here folks. Now go out and cut yourself a piece of the corporate pie!
I am contacting you after my successful escape from Ageira Technologies. Over the past few years I have been working as a coding analyst, further optimising certain aspects of the USI coding. As my skills further improved I decided to cannibalise on that and see whether I could offer my services elsewhere through an independent company. I was talking the matter over with some co-workers who also showed interest and within a few months' time, we created some drafts plans as to how this would look like.
It was at that time -which I now realise- that things started to "change". First I found that during the day, I kept on seeing the same familiar faces, even when not at work. Also, when going to the gym, or when taking a break from work for a few days. All of a sudden, it became clear...I was being watched. Ignorant as I was, I failed to put the pieces together and whilst breaking my head over what was going on, others were starting to experience similar things.
As I still continued on my idea of starting for myself with some others, things became progressively worse. My house was broken into several times, completely wrecking the place. And at some point people started to disappear, no longer returning from leave. It was at that time, when things became clear. Ageira was never going to let me go, at all costs...
I therefore decided to make a run for it, took the money I planned on investing and went off planet. Rather than trying to use my skills to run my own business I decided to make use of them to destroy Ageira...
With little vessel navigation and handling skills I was able to escape from Pennsylvania without too much trouble. On my way there, my hacked transponder signal was immediately picked up by Nicole Hunter, who kindle guided me through some basic first steps.
After using the money I had taken along to upgrade my ship, I started to attract some attention here and there, I have destroyed some of the supply depots and got rid of as much bounty hunters as I could, afraid that word had already gone out to them.
During my activities, I happened to come across -what I think was- a practice area from the Liberty navy. As I was quickly passing by, I managed to pull in a full hold of nuclear mines and other weaponry, which was very much welcomed by the shop on Cochrane Depot. This freed up sufficient cash to get a dagger fully outfitted and I headed over to Mactan. I was welcomed by LH~Infiltrator who helped me in getting some jobs done, until I was able to independently carry out missions.
This message will also contain evidence of my newly obtained dagger that is currently fitted with Starbeams. In addition, you will find a copy of my reputation card.

----MESSAGE TOP URGENT----
=====================
I am in a situation and i am in need of you assistance. I do not expect you to just help me but i can be of great use to you.
My name is Henry Von Heuter, an employee, rather an ex employee of ageira.
i come from Rheinland, New Berlin after completing my university course in quantum-electronic field stability, with my new qualification my uncle who worked for ageira recommended me and i was hired.
After 2 1/2 years of working on and designing new trade lane technologies for their transport convoys everything seemed to be going very well until i recieved a recorded message from my uncle. It was very distorted but from what i made out it said somthing like 'ITS NOT WHAT YOU THINK, GET OUT FAST'.
I though nothing of it at the time, just that he was completely messed up on cardamine. But the next day i came into work as usual - expect it was far from usual. 2 of my collegues seemed to have been replaces by people i have never seen before, who were working on the same project as me and my uncle. Then my access code wouldn't activate my workstation.
Next thing i knew 3 or 4 men, dressed like some sort of bodyguards entered the room and began walking towards me. At this pont i realised something was very wrong and my uncle was trying to tell me somthing - i got the hell out of their before i could find out what, stowed my way onto a transport to planet Eire as i had to speak with my uncle.
When i arrived at his place it was trashed but i found evidence of an attempted communication.......... with the lane hackers.
Next thing the police appear outside - so i ran, but with no credits with me i had to think fast and steal a starflier which just landed.
I came to new york, not sure why but i didnt have time to think where else to go.
Near planet manhatten 3 liberty police fighters surrounded me and told me to follow them - i just opened fire, after a shootout i managed to down 2 of them with the poor weaponry i had equiped and evaded the third. I ended up in a debris field and found a Junkers base called rochester. I spoke with them about what had happened and they recommended me to travel to cochrane depot in ontario - also that they were willing to pay well for H-fuel. So i raided the nearest storage depot i could find for the stuf and sold it.
I then arrived as cochrane depot, found a used dagger and purchaed it. I explained to the lane hackers at this base my situation and asked if they had seen my uncle - regretfully they said no, but they did direct me to another hackers base called Mactan in the Magellan system.
So here i am, it seems that me and my collegues were involved in somting ageira didn't want getting out - so they tried to eliminate us. But not me, i know their secrets and i can be of use to you - but of course i need your help too.
I will listen in on this channel for your reply - i hope it will not be too late.
In the mean time i have helped the hackers here at Mactan in containing the bounty hunter threat - destroying their bases under construction then retreating back to mactan, and in doing so i have gained their affiliation.
I had hoped to join your organization, as I have been trampled on for the last time.
I have been working for Ageira corporation for the last five years. I have not been a high level employee or anything, just a simple programmer. My work has not really been the main focus in my life, though I do seem to have a gift for programming and....how shall we say it...finding the back doors in computer systems. While examining these back doors in our...or rather their systems, I found some very disturbing things. Bribes and corruption are the order of the day in Liberty. Bribes to get contracts. Padding the correct politicians wallet to keep laws in place that hold back the small businesses, and yet allow Ageira to keep them under their boot heel. And yet, I get the feeling that you know all this already.
As I said work has never been my true passion rather, music has. I have been in a cover band for about three years, playing some of the station bars around Liberty and dreaming of actually playing on Manhattan. Our last gig was on a Thursday night and man, what a crowd! We were there a bit late, and the next morning I was a bit groggy at work. It was then that Mr.Grubbs proceeded on a half an hour tirade about how terrible the programming department is and how our bonuses were cancelled. I just couldnt understand this because all our projects were ahead of schedule. I told him then and there that I was done with Ageira and their scheming backstabbing ways, and I jumped in my Starflier and just flew around in a rage. I am fairly certain I destroyed a couple of storage depots, though I dont even remember now who they belonged to.
I realized I could not go home and so I sought refuge on Rochester base, and it was there that I remembered something I saw at work. Some fella with a very Kusari sounding name...what was it...Yoshi or something like that, I cant remember exactly, but I do remember that he hacked into our network and left a message on all our terminals about corporate corruption and what we could do to help fight it. Then and there I decided to dedicate myself to your cause, and make it my own. With a lot of digging through databases on Rochester I found some coordinates to a remote location in Magellan. And there I signed up and was given some tests and told to report here.
Here is the vessel I was issued, its weapons loadout, and its affiliation status(IFF):
TL;DR Excuse my lengthy attempt at RP! An individual named Damon Wayans, alias Pink Panther was mistreated by Ageira and should join the Lane Hackers.

[The following transcript was recovered from a hidden compartment within LH Gilbert Hudson's daughter's LA Surf Competition trophy]
Dear Mr Hudson,
I am an employee of Ageira Technologies and have information for your and the Lane Hackers’ Interest. I hope this dangerous message is delivered to you without any harm done to your daughter.
My rather boisterous and rebellious son used to threaten me with claims of being friends with a girl whose father was a member of the Lane Hackers. Previously I just thought that this was a phase in his teenage life but the fact that they were acquainted through the love of surfing just kept ringing in my mind. The famous incident 16 years ago of a former Ageira Lane Hacker, you, winning the LA Surf Competition has not left any of Ageira’s employees’ minds. After recent work at Ageira left me traumatised I began to question the company and myself, and sought possible means to communicate with the Lane Hackers. As a senior member at Ageira, any form of electronic communication is monitored through the new bio-implanted chips in my wrist. Thus I resorted to what you are reading now. I took the liberty of investigating the connection between your daughter and yourself by hiring a man named Han Yolo who you may know as your future son in law. I apologise on his behalf for my role in what your daughter may feel as deception or “taken advantage of” – of which there are probably many considering Yolo’s nature. I am sure you will agree with me that both of us, but you especially, do not wish to delve into the methods Yolo used to gain information from your daughter about yourself, but what I can say is that his methods were licentiously effective… I hope the information I deliver to the Lane Hackers is important enough to eclipse any wrong doing you may feel from my side. With the knowledge that your daughter was indeed related to you I bribed the LA Surf Competition judges to give your daughter the prize (She would have won it regardless, probably…) and modified the trophy to contain this hidden message. I then asked my son to instruct your daughter to send the trophy to you.
Six months ago I was assigned to a think-tank within Ageira’s weapons development branch. This group was responsible for questioning the directions a joint Ageira and Cryer project was heading in. Previous to that, I had heard rumours that this project existed between our two firms but detailed information was then above my pay grade. Now with the information I have, I regret ever being involved.
To say the least, the activities in this project are humanitarian atrocities fuelled by the Liberty government’s lust for power through military control on Sirius’s economy. The project involves the integration of salvaged Nomad alien weapon technology with humans. As Liberty discovered that Nomad technologies perform optimally when combined with a host, the native form being the Nomads themselves, they delved into the possibility of modifying the technology to suite human use.
Ageira being the prime bidder for weapons development in Liberty got the bid. The initial aim of modifying the Nomad technology seemed impossible, but this did not prevent the company from losing the contract money. Fuelled and blinded by economic success, Ageira started using the abundant death row prisoner resource in Liberty to perform “human improvements”. It seems that during the Nomad incident 16 years ago, the former President Barbara Jacobi managed to acquire an intact Nomad body which was studied in Cambridge. For this project Ageira managed to acquire this specimen and clone thousands of functional Nomads. These Nomads were then allowed to possess the prisoners and the biology of the integration was studied. However the problem of the original human consciousness becoming replaced remained despite efforts. Thus a new direction emerged – systematic torture of human hosted Nomads to investigate if the Nomads themselves could be controlled. Astonishingly what was found was that if a threshold of suffering was surpassed, the nomads would “shut off” their consciousness to escape the suffering and the human consciousness returned to bear the pain.
With this knowledge Ageira succeeded in producing humans able to host Nomad weaponry extremely efficiently. The only problem being that the subject had to be under constant physical torture and that subjects would eventually die after suffering for prolonged periods of time. Another problem was the fact that the subjects – death row prisoners, often did not possess the intellect required to use this new weaponry in a safe and reliable manner. For this reason, innocent and misinformed, intelligent yet economically desperate interns became the new subjects. Due to the questions that emerged within Liberty after these interns went “missing”, recently interns from Bretonia are being used for these cruel experiments.
My letter is about one such Bretonian from Planet Cambridge. This intern named Damon Wayans had been “improved” and studied for two months before my arrival and was found to possess remarkable tolerance to the pain – surviving longer than any subject before. Indeed Ageira will hopefully never find out how long he could withstand the treatment or what made him unique as he escaped miraculously three days ago leaving a rather bloody path of destruction in the lab. What is even more remarkable and tragic is that he understood the need for constant unbearable pain in order to remain human and thus also stole his torture device during his escape. I cannot even imagine the self-inflicted pain this intern experiences in order to maintain his sense of self.
What we know about him after his escape is that he stole a Civilian CTE 750AE Starflier Light Fighter from the lab and commenced a mission of genocide against Ageira. As a security measure, all intern subjects had their past identities are removed, thus Damon Wayans with no self-identity flies around with the rather strange alias "Pink Panther". Damon is a wanted criminal by Liberty and any encounter with “Pink Panther” by its security forces will, and has been met with brutality. From reports I have heard it seems that Damon has managed to achieve combat superiority in such encounters; perhaps a facet of his “improvement”. It even seems that Damon’s activities gained him recognition within the criminal world of Liberty and the more recent reports I hear are of a Border Series X Dagger Light Fighter pilot flying under the alias “Pink Panther”. It seems extremely likely that this is the same Damon Wayans since the reports of this pilot's activities mirror his past mercilessness and targets.
My request to the Lane Hackers, if you already have not seen the mutual gain possible, is to take Damon Wayans under your wing. At the moment Damon is a self-agent of uncoordinated blind vengeance but shares your disposition towards Ageira and Liberty. It is likely with time that he will be captured and returned to Ageira unless he receives the support of the criminal intelligence base. However it is also likely that more disorganised criminal groups such as the Rogues will eventually recognise Damon’s unique abilities and use them for their own means. This may result in worse situations than at Ageira, such is human nature when considering the desperate situation most criminal organisations are in. Furthermore, it is likely that Damon wishes to regain his past identity, and from what I know the Lane Hackers best possess means of information attainment in the criminal world. Similarly with this advantage of the Lane Hacker’s communication network, I can only hope it possible that through exchanges with more humane research institutions, a method can be found to remove the Nomad from Damon before he succumbs to the pain, and lets his parasite take over...
With utmost respect and contrition,
Dr David Kellly
P.S.
You may question the lack of action on my behalf. What I have exposed greatly tears my conscience apart in regard to the morality of the cooperation I work for. However I have a family in Liberty that are more important to me than myself and if I were to act against Ageira, much harm would come their way, especially after I have seen the lengths Ageira goes to. Perhaps it would be fitting for my demise at the hands of Damon Wayans, my life insurance should support my family if such a thing would happen. At least then I will not have to be involved in the atrocities Ageira performs.
