I've just completed Mission 26. The shipment of Cardamine has been safely delivered to Cochrane and is being unloaded as we speak. The full log of my trip and confirmation of the transaction can be viewed on our server HERE.
Dear Hackers, I have successfully completed the Phase 1 of mission 34, and I can confirm that there is a new Blood Dragon group rising. I stumbled across two of them in New Tokyo. I managed to start a conversation with them. The group seems rather new and not really aware of our past relations with Dragons as much as I'd like to, but I can say we came off with a good start. They are quite paranoid in exchanging information about their group, but considering what they've been through, it's understandable. The flight logs are being uploaded as we speak.
Uploaded Flight Logs Wrote:LH~Irina.Sedova: Evening.
BD|Lake.Kasumigaura: Ami: Kon'nichiwa
LH~Irina.Sedova: How are you doing, Dragon?
BD|Lake.Kasumigaura: Ami: Oh... I am fine...
LH~Irina.Sedova: So, Dragons, I couldn't help but notice your IFF transmitters. Is there some kind of a new group rising?
LH~Irina.Sedova: I can say I am aware of your past to some extent.
LH~Leiden.Interceptor: Konbanwa.
BD|Agito'Waijima: *He nods*
LH~Irina.Sedova: And I know Dragons have been without a governing body for a while.
BD|Agito'Waijima: *He sighs* You can say that.
LH~Irina.Sedova: So, are the Dragons coming back on their feet again?
BD|Agito'Waijima: Have come to resent to regroup ourself's.
LH~Irina.Sedova: That's interesting.
BD|Lake.Kasumigaura: Ami: Hai... we are...
LH~Irina.Sedova: Still doing your own thing? Or have some of your goals changed?
BD|Agito'Waijima: Hai. Now that I have responded to your question, answer mine, what are the Hacker's doing so far from home.
LH~Irina.Sedova: Just gathering some intel. Nothing you should be worried about. We have no hostile intentions towards you.
BD|Agito'Waijima: *He looks to the Big Dragon and then back to the Hacker* It's our own business.
LH~Irina.Sedova: We already have enough enemies as it is, no need to make new ones.
BD|Agito'Waijima: Nor' do we but when walk into a mans home with your shoes still on, one get alttle mad.
BD|Agito'Waijima: I'm sure you can understand.
LH~Irina.Sedova: Of course I can.
BD|Lake.Kasumigaura: Ami: Well... er... *she looks around* Shouldn't we not be so close to a lane?
LH~Irina.Sedova: Is there anything I could do to make this chat more comfortable for you?
LH~Irina.Sedova: If that's what you think, we could move a bit further.
LH~Irina.Sedova: Not a good idea to risk getting an armada of lawful ships on our tails.
BD|Agito'Waijima: Hai.
BD|Lake.Kasumigaura: Ami: Even more so when you are in... as delicate a condition as I am in...
LH~Irina.Sedova: You have a point. Now, do you feel more comfortable when we moved away from the lane?
BD|Lake.Kasumigaura: Ami: Hai... a lot better...
LH~Irina.Sedova: Good to hear that.
LH~Leiden.Interceptor: Should a need arise we are capable of disrupting any pursuit.
LH~Irina.Sedova: Indeed.
LH~Irina.Sedova: You don't seem as paranoid about our presence as I thought you would be.
BD|Agito'Waijima: What would we be paronoid by?
BD|Lake.Kasumigaura: Ami: You are an enermy of our enermy...
LH~Irina.Sedova: Si, you can say that.
BD|Agito'Waijima: as of you, we ourselves do not have many friends. Why go out and make more.
LH~Irina.Sedova: Good thinking.
LH~Irina.Sedova: So, how is your group doing so far?
LH~Irina.Sedova: Any major obstacles, except for the old ones?
BD|Agito'Waijima: *He smiles abit* All in all, same issues are old and as of right now, no real new issues have arised.
BD|Lake.Kasumigaura: Ami: Well... maybe the lack of spare parts for our larger ships...
LH~Irina.Sedova: If you want my opinion, I see no need for larger ships for an organization like yours.
BD|Agito'Waijima: *He look's abit angry about what Ami said*
LH~Irina.Sedova: I would suggest using more covert approach.
LH~Irina.Sedova: Because, no matter how many firepower you have, I doubt you, or anybody else from around here, would be able to outgun an armada of Naval forces.
LH~Irina.Sedova: Take that as a friendly advice.
BD|Agito'Waijima: *He laughs* You really do not have to tell me twice.
BD|Lake.Kasumigaura: Ami: Er... well... *she lookss sheepish* I am... an engineer so I do have to deal what happens when we lack firepower
LH~Irina.Sedova: I heard rumors about your pilots being among the best in entire Sirius.
LH~Irina.Sedova: And if those rumors are true, you should utilize that to your advantage as much as possible.
LH~Irina.Sedova: Of course, there are times when fighters just can't acheive something, but well, one can't have everything.
BD|Lake.Kasumigaura: Ami: Er...
BD|Agito'Waijima: *He nods* Hai, You can not do much of anything as of right now with the way things are in Kusari.
LH~Irina.Sedova: Would you be interested in renewing our past relations?
LH~Irina.Sedova: I see it being beneficial for both of our groups.
LH~Irina.Sedova: The Hackers might be able to offer you some spare parts.
BD|Agito'Waijima: I was told that the Hackers and Dragons had indeed had a good relation in the past.
LH~Irina.Sedova: Si. However, after the complications that happened in your organization, everything was gone.
BD|Agito'Waijima: As well as it would be an Honor to renew our past, soon.
LH~Irina.Sedova: I'm glad to hear that.
BD|Agito'Waijima: *He nods*
LH~Irina.Sedova: I was wondering, what are your plans for the future?
BD|Agito'Waijima: Hai, As of right now, that Is our plans. I hope you can understand.
LH~Leiden.Interceptor: Ms Sedova did not mean to offend you, Waijima-san.
LH~Irina.Sedova: Of course not. Just exchanging some information.
BD|Agito'Waijima: Hai, It's not a problem.
LH~Irina.Sedova: What about your diplomacy? Any new allies, or maybe even enemies?
BD|Agito'Waijima: Hai.
LH~Irina.Sedova: *Raises an eyebrow* I hope it's not enemies?
BD|Lake.Kasumigaura: Ami: *she looks at Agito*
BD|Agito'Waijima: *He smiles* Can't progress without conflict.
LH~Irina.Sedova: There is no need to be shy with us. After all, we need to know more about you before jumping into possible alliances.
LH~Irina.Sedova: We knew the Dragons under Shoguns Dato and Noboru very well.
LH~Irina.Sedova: Needless to say, Hackers are one of the best allies one could possibly have.
BD|Agito'Waijima: *Hai* That is true, but I've been told all to many time's about the Hacker's.
BD|Agito'Waijima: As well as one of the worst enemy's.
LH~Leiden.Interceptor: Ms Sedova, I just received call from Leiden. I need to depart now. I hope you will do fine without my support.
LH~Irina.Sedova: Care to enlighten me on what you've been told?
LH~Irina.Sedova: Safe flight, Interceptor.
LH~Leiden.Interceptor: Sayonara, honorable Dragons.
BD|Agito'Waijima: Sayonara *He bows*
LH~Irina.Sedova: Indeed, and the Hackers are full of them.
LH~Irina.Sedova: Any idea of that vessel's agenda?
KTA|LL-Hanafuda: Jin: This is KTA Luxury Liner Hanafuda, and I am the leader of KTA. Requesting permission to go closer than 10-K.
BD|Agito'Waijima: Then as of right now I do not feel safe, telling you much of what we have instore for Kusari.
LH~Irina.Sedova: What is KTA, exactly?
BD|Agito'Waijima: *He look's to Hanafuda* Not yet, Hanafuda.
KTA|LL-Hanafuda: Kusari Trade Association, to be honest. Independent Kusari traders, to be short.
LH~Irina.Sedova: Your secrecy is understandable.
KTA|LL-Hanafuda: Jin: Roger that.
LH~Irina.Sedova: Why would a trader approach close to people like us?
BD|Agito'Waijima: *He nods*
BD|Agito'Waijima: He's here to talk to us.
KTA|LL-Hanafuda: Jin: Common foe that cannot be attacked directly.
LH~Irina.Sedova: Right. Well, if you have business to do, I will move out of your way.
LH~Irina.Sedova: Expect to be contacted in the future by our leaders to arrange further discussion about our relations.
BD|Agito'Waijima: *He nods* Hai, If you wish to talk more, please feel free to contact me on the Neural Net, and we will Continue our conversation.
LH~Irina.Sedova: Very well. Have a nice night.

Greetings everyone, doin' well I suppose?
Anyway, Mission 26 has been successfully completed. The Outcasts have recived the Counterfit Software they need and Cochrane Depot was supplied with fresh Cardamine direcly from Malta.
Dear Hackers, I have successfully completed phase 1 of mission 36. The Mollys have been contacted. At first, there was a little misunderstanding but everything was sorted out.
The Mollys deny having any evidence of Gaians working together with the Gauls. A Molly who responded to my transmission claims that she never met any of those so-called Watchers. However, the Mollys have noticed increased Gaian activity, especially in Manchester and even Dublin, but that's not our concern. Our friends from Dublin also claim that they haven't met enough Gaians to have a precise stance towards them, but the Mollys do not hide their hatred towards people who side with Corsairs.
I am also opening read-only access to the transmission that was sent to them.
MISSION 36 PHASE 2: CAPTURE AND INTERROGATE GAIAN TERRORIST
Recently our assassins noticed Gaians cooperation with Gallic Royal Navy forces occupying Bretionia. While Gaians themselves are not considered a serious threat, their knowledge about the jumphole network and local oddities may prove to be crucial for efficiency of Gallic operations. Investigate rumors about the possible alliance. Capture and interrogate Gaian terrorist to confirm or deny rumors about the alliance
Summary
Some time ago we have captured an independent Gaian in Magellan, who was interrogated by Ms Irina Sedova. From the interrogation we learned about new Gaian movement called The Watchers, that they might be having some arrangement with the Gauls and that they recently bought several Corsair transports. Knowing this I decided to visit Cambridge and base my operations from Lisburn Rock. After several days I managed to intercept a small Gaian convoy consisting of two transports of Corsair origins at the jumphole to Omega-5. I forced the Gaian into submission and interrogated on the way through Cambridge, New London and Leeds. The subject revealed that the Gaians were forced to sign non aggression pact with the Gauls after they captured Glendale outpost in Lewis. I have also learned that The Watchers movement is very small and has no clear command structure, but they hope that if they prove useful for the Gallic Royal Navy they might receive a degree of autonomy in Edinburgh. Poor soft fools. Below I attach both interrogation logs.
Interrogation Log: Maxime Coldwell, Independent Gaian
Irina Sedova: Exactly something I wanted to see. Nicole Hunter: You will be interrogated by Ms Sedova.
Maxime Coldwell: I see, you just wanted some backup to make sure my destruction - right? Irina Sedova: You got it wrong. Cooperate and your ship won't be destroyed. Nicole Hunter: If your truthfulness and cooperation will please us you will be let out alive. Irina Sedova: Let's start with you cutting your engines to zero. Nicole Hunter: Ms Sedova, the target is yours to interrogate. Irina Sedova: First of all, I'm interested to hear what is a Gaian gunboat doing here?
Maxime Coldwell: Senorita, actually I was just heading home from a stop by at the Freeport in Bering that's about all of my reason to trespass your space. Irina Sedova: I was wondering, what kind of relations does your group have with Gauls?
Maxime Coldwell: Senorita, you maybe heard of "The Watchers" as I was told they do have some business with the Gauls getting on, but I am just an "ordinary Gaian" so I really can't tell you that much about. Irina Sedova: Care to explain to me their business? I am more than certain you know something.
Maxime Coldwell: Well, as the Gauls have their hands over Edinburgh, where one of our more important bases is at, and of course Planet Gaia itself, it seems to be unpreventable to get along with the Gauls somehow. The elders of the Gaians might even dream of getting some support from the Gauls when seeding Gaia. Irina Sedova: Hmm. Is it just a non-hostility treaty or something more? Are they working together against Bretonia?
Maxime Coldwell: Senorita, look, I'm really pretty new to the Gaians flight wing. Until a couple of days I was a simple worker then an aunt of mine died in a battle with the BAF and she thought it might to be a good idea to hand me over her ship. As I already had passed flight school I just hoped in and took a ride - that's actually how I came here - so I don't really know a lot about the "bigger things" going on in the Gaians "government". Irina Sedova: Alright. You said you are returning from Bering, correct?
Maxime Coldwell: Yes Senorita, that's true. Irina Sedova: What precisely have you been doing there?
Maxime Coldwell: I found some old star maps on the navcomputer which lead me over Humboldt to Kansas and finally got me here. Irina Sedova: What's the situation in Bering? Is it crowded or desolate as usual?
Maxime Coldwell: When I visited the Freeport it was sort of quiet, not too busy, besides that I spend almost all of the time being there with my aunt and her family. Nicole Hunter: Just a warning. If you do betray your location to a GRN fleet, we will dispose of you with the first sight of their ships on long range. Irina Sedova: Anything unusual you have encountered on your way back?
Maxime Coldwell: No Senorita, absolutely nothing happened at all till I dared to cross your path. I resupplied in Puerto Rico, did some repairs that were necessary after I'd passed a radiation area, and that was all. Irina Sedova: I wasn't hoping for such ignorance when I started interrogating you. Are you sure you don't know anything? Nicole Hunter: If you're no use to us we may simply dispose of you. Irina Sedova: Indeed, professor.
Maxime Coldwell: Excuse me Senorita, why you think I'd dare to ignore you? Irina Sedova: Are you going to share some valuable intel or will you continue to waste my time?
Maxime Coldwell: If you need info about GRN movements I pretty much can't help you this time. As I've told you I'm not having a ship on my own for a long time, but if you'd let me go I'd promise to keep my ears open and let you know if I can gather some info you might be interested in. Irina Sedova: Do you understand your position here? Why do I get an impression that you're lying? You stand no chance against us. Nicole Hunter to Irina Sedova: I will play a good cop for a second.
Irina Sedova to Nicole Hunter: Be my guest. Nicole Hunter: I actually believe you. Just give us anything. Anything valuable. There might be something you just heard. A rumour you did not pay much attention to, but it might be important to us. Anything related to Gaians and Gallic Royal Navy, even remotely.
Maxime Coldwell: Let me think of it for a minute Senorita - maybe I will really be able to remember something I didn't pay attention to. Nicole Hunter: Please, try harder to search in your memory. I really want to let you go. Nicole Hunter to Irina Sedova: Good cop role finished. Target is all yours, Ms Sedova. Irina Sedova: Alright, we'll give you some time to think over.
Maxime Coldwell: There's maybe one thing that could be of your interest. When I was at Holmfirth someone at the bar mentioned that there are plans being developed to enhance the relations between the Gauls and us and therefore Corsair trains will be needed - but that's honestly all I can say about it. I assume it's about delivering goods to Gallia that they are in need of but can't get access to by themselves. Irina Sedova: See? It wasn't that hard. I'm already starting to like you. Si, you're free to go. Thank you for your cooperation.
Maxime Coldwell: To show my appreciation, was there maybe something else that I could do for you, maybe some certain goods I might have access to? Irina Sedova: Now that you mentioned it - Would you be interested in giving out a symbolic contribution to our cause? It's optional, but will be appreciated and remembered.
Maxime Coldwell: Of course, it will be my pleasure to support your cause. I will pay my tribute to you Senorita Sedova. Irina Sedova: Very well. Thank you. You are free to go now.
Maxime Coldwell: I hope this will ensure that further encounters will be less stressful at least for me. Irina Sedova: It will.
Interrogation Log: Flora, The Watchers
Flora: Kay, that's odd. Nicole Hunter: Slowly move away from the jumphole with impulse speed.
Flora: Sure, sure. No need for shooting. Nicole Hunter: I have no need for your partner - tell him to leave the area. If you do exactly what I say you will be left unharmed and I will not even destroy your cargo. Do you understand?
Flora: Yeah. Nicole Hunter: Set waypoint to New London jumphole and engage cruise. Now relinquish control of your autopilot. I will override your controls.
Flora: Okay... Nicole Hunter: I will ask you several questions. If I sense that you're untruthful or any of your allies show up on our scanner - I will destroy you. Is this clear?
Flora: Yeah. But I'm afraid that I'm not responsible for random patrols popping up. Nicole Hunter: What are the Watchers?
Flora: Gaians. Gaia's eyes and ears. Kind of... Nicole Hunter: What makes you different from Nature Last Hope?
Flora: I cannot really tell you because my knowledge about NLH is lacking. Nicole Hunter: What position do you hold within your organization?
Flora: None. There's no ranks, everyone is equal. Nicole Hunter: I am warning you. Do not try to fool me.
Flora: I'm not. Nicole Hunter: Are there no elders within your organization?
Flora: I'm not aware of any. Nicole Hunter: Who do you take orders from?
Flora: No one. We're discussing issues and choose one of us to solve it. Nicole Hunter: We are approaching the jumphole. Once we reach it you will jump to New London and set course to Leeds jumphole. Why did Watchers ally themselves with Gallic Royal Navy?
Flora: Because we had to. Nicole Hunter: Elaborate.
Flora: Did you ever heard about "Glendale massacre"? Nicole Hunter: Please explain.
Flora: We had a base in a backwater system, Lewis. As you probably know, Lewis lies between Orkney and Edinburgh, so GRN was quick to invade the system. Well, in short the Glendale's defences didn't stood a chance. After that we were forced to sign a NAP. Nicole Hunter: The base was overrun and your people were killed. This does not really make a good start for an alliance.
Flora: We do not want more of us get killed and Gauls are enemies of our enemies too. Nicole Hunter: You do assist GRN forces in Manchester and Leeds.
Flora: As far as I know our assistance in Leeds is sporadic. Nicole Hunter: Who is your contact within GRN?
Flora: Uhm... What contact? Nicole Hunter: A case officer maintaining Gaians for the Crown.
Flora: I'm not exactly sure if we even have any. Nicole Hunter: You have. You might simply don't know it yet. What is your current stance towards Mollys?
Flora: Neutral unfriendly... Or something around it. Nicole Hunter: Should I understand you no longer meddle in each other's business?
Flora: Pretty much. Nicole Hunter: I suggest you do not send our coordinates and destination to your comrade there - for the safety of you both.
Flora: Sure, sure. Nicole Hunter: So tell me once again why do you actively help in combat GRN in Manchester and Leeds? NAP does not require it from you.
Flora: Well, that's kinda complicated... Nicole Hunter: You have almost 100 thousand solar units to explain it.
Flora: And that's a thing that one does not share with a random hacker. Nicole Hunter: I am not a random Hacker.
Flora: How can I tell? Nicole Hunter: And this is not a friendly chat.
Flora: Well, I've figured that out. Nicole Hunter: Your ship and life depends on your truthfulness.
Flora: Eh, damn it. There's a belief that if we'll prove our usefulness to GRN we may get a certain degree of autonomy over Edinburgh. Nicole Hunter: You answered almost all of my questions and your answers seemed to be plausible. What are you doing in Gallia?
Flora: Not much. If we're ever going into Gallic space we're trading, getting supplies and such. Nicole Hunter: So you are not considered illegal within Gallic Space?
Flora: No, why? Nicole Hunter: Cut your engines. I am done. But for you to remember we are not friends you will drop 1000 units of your cargo.
Flora: Well, I knew that we ain't friendly for some time already. No need to prove that. Nicole Hunter: You're near Manchester jumphole. You should be able to return to your home.
Flora: I hope so.
Good day,
I'm glad to announce that today I have completed Phase 1 of Mission 26 , I delivered 2853 units Counterfeit Software to Planet Malta and 2844 units Cardamine to Cochrane depot.
Evidences: Data 1 Data 2 Data 3 Data 4
Estemeed gentlemen, I would like to report that Phase 2 of the Mission 34 is completed.
It all started outside Morioka Base where the Shogun and two more Blood Dragons and one GC arrived. I was escorted by Professor Nicole and Mr Sun. After we exhanged some welcoming words, the convoy left for Kyoto. On our way there I discussed some things with the Shogun, however we were interrupted in Honshu system by a KNF officer. After the Professor properly disposed of the KNF officer who refused to surrender, we continued to Kyoto. [①②③]
The meeting was successful and we reached several agreements. Not easily, I should admit, considering the disposition of several Blood Dragons towards the Lane Hackers. The following record was taken from the small computer that I had in my pocket. It also simulated the actions of those in the meeting.
Quote:
Shogun Hokama was waiting at the Dockyard of Kyoto for the Lane Hackers. He wears a traditional black Kimono and a Katana on his belt. He is followed by two armed guards, who silently stay behind him
Aruga was next to him also wating for the Lane Hackers, he was in traditional robes while he was armed with a Katana and a tanto. "I hope they don't take too long..." He said to no one in paticluar.
Someone stood next to Hokama, a young female in Furisode dyed a crimson red with black decortive marks all over it. On her back however was something entirely different; rather she had a double edged Naginata on her back, not saying much else
Yoshida took his cardamine dose before he exited the Gunboat. He didn't want to do it in front of his hosts and perhaps unsettle them. In sharp contrast, his clothing was luxurious, his costume worn by the upper class of Liberty. When he finished he exited the ship and looked at Kyoto. "Not much has changed since my last visit, 3 years ago." He noted to himself.
Kohaku walks towards the Lane Hacker and makes a slight bow, since he is the Shogun he does not need to bow deep "Welcome to Kyoto, Yoshida-san, the home of the Blood Dragons"
Aruga also bows slightly. "Kon'nichiwa..."
The female steps forward but remains near Kohaku "Kon'nichiwa." Bowing a bit more before steping back
Yoshida bowed more deeply than Kohaku and formally exhanged his welcoming words. "I am always standing in awe, while seeing Kyoto. I hope this KNF officer we encountered before would be the only obstacle."
"I have the apprehension that this KNF officer was only one of many obstacles we will have to encounter" What really noticeable was on Kohaku was the scar under his left eye
Aruga nods and sighs. "Is it the same officer that attacked Ami-chan... and Aine-chan... gods... I hate him..."
Yoshida simply nodded to Shogun's remark. Mr Sun, another LH operative, was far behind and he will follow from distance the group. "Shogun, you are accompanied. I believe they were the pilots that were with us during the travel?"
The young girl remained quiet, not speaking unless spoken to first, however she did look up at Kohaku who was next to her
Kohaku shakes his head "No... the young Dragon who accompanied you was Aine Niwa, these here are Aruga Takahashi, one of our Hatamoto and one of our Daimyo, Yuki Hokama"
Yoshida bows again (but less deeply than before) to Shogun's companions. "It is an honor to meet you, Mr Aruga and my lady."
She bows in return "Honor to meet you." she ays in a light voice
Aruga bows too. "Hai... it is an honor..."
"This vessel is returned to its rightful owners. I hope it will serve well and efficiently under your command." Yoshida says pointing to the ship behind
"Hai... I'll have Ami-chan have a look at it when she is able..." Aruga nods.
"But your long travel here is not only because the Lane hackers want to bring back our ship... we should go to a more suited place then this for our conversation. We have a private room ready in our bar"
"Of course. I believe I am ready for our upcoming discussions."
Yuki reached into her pocket and handed Kohaku a key, before starting off to the bar alone, ahead of everyone to watch
He takes the key and nods "Please follow us" He turns around and they all walk to the Club
Aruga follows Kohaku.
As they reach the room, he opens it with the key and kohaku walks in, while the guards stay outside and guard the door
Yoshida walks inside without looking around and waits to be sent to his designated position. Mr Sun follows from behind.
The was a traditional table on the ground. But not high as a normal table. Around it, pillows to sit on them. Kohaku goes to the table and knees down onto one of the pillows
Yuki was near the wall waiting, almost looking to be made of soin while waiting
Yoshida sits on his designated pillow and Mr Sun sits on the right. They patiently wait for their host to begin the discussion.
Kohaku looks at them. There was already a bottle of sake and some cups on the table "Befor we start our conversation, would you like a cup of Sake?"
"I abstain from alcohol, Shogun" Yoshida kindly refused.
Aruga was sitting next to Kohaku.
Yuki remained against the wall,watching the converstation from there
"Anyways...." He takes a sip from his cup and then looks at the Lane Hackers "You are here today as the representative of the Lane Hackers and you wish to refresh the friendship with the Blood Dragons?"
"That is correct, Shogun." Yoshida's eyes search for a waiter in the room.
"I have been sent by the Professorship."
A maid stands in the door and asks if she can come in. Kohaku nods and looks at the Lane Hacker "Please, tell her what you wish"
"A cup of tea, please" Yoshida says and then returns to the Shogun. "While we were travelling I had proposed to conduct mutual operations in Shikoku system. That system is close to our base of operations, and still within Kusari."
The maid leaves again with their order "I see.... and you want to ask the Blood Dragons for their approval to starts your operations in Kusari space?" He takes another sip
Aruga was taking notes as they talked.
"Shogun, we already conduct operations in Shikoku, alone. I am referring to mutual operations."
He nods "While the Blood Dragons operate everywhere in Kusari, travels to places still take a long while. The only base for us in Shikoku is Moriaka. As you see our movement is limited to these hidden bases and reaction time still takes a long while... however.... I'm interested in these operation and wonder what benefits it could bring us Dragons"
Aine was mumbling about something while Aruga nodded. "Hai... it takes a very long time to react to something..."
"The Lane Hackers, as you already know are not a populous faction, such as the Liberty Rogues for example. I'm aware that the Blood Dragon pilots, even though they are elite, have also shortage in manpower. Conducting mutual operations would exactly eradicate this disadvantage."
"That is true, if we work together, our succees rate of raids and attacks on goverment ships increases highly"
Yoshida nodded. "Shogun, may I ask your opinion about the Gas Miners' Guild and the construction project they had in Okinawa?"
"The Gas Miners Guild is an important ally to the Blood Dragons, they supply us with most of the commodities we need, so we dont mind sharing a part of Kusari with them and leave them alone in what they do"
"I see. The Lane Hackers' archrivals, Ageira and IC frequently operate in eastern Kusari. And that creates a significant problem to us."
"Ageira and Interspace Commerce are not enemies of us. It might happen from time to time that we rob one of their transporters for supplies or raid their convoys but these are mere coincidences" The maid returns with their orders and puts the plate down with the drinks befor she bows and leaves again "Our real enemy is the Kusari goverment..."
"Of course Shogun. But when IC economically supports Kusari, sustains it when it was ready to fall apart and perhaps even the Shogunate to take over, then they provided an invaluable assistance to the government." Yoshida sips a bit of water in his mouth to clear his throat and continues.
"Similarly, Ageira was the sole provider of the Gate Lane parts for the Chugoku Jump Gate project."
"That might be true but we never focused our force on the companies alone. We try to cut their supplies towards the goverment but never really hunted them actively"
Yoshida scratched his chin thoughtfully. "Under the rule of the previous Shoguns, a Lane Hacker wing was given allowance to operate in these areas and against these specific targets. The results were very good."
He nods "I also think if someone particulary takes care of these supply companies, it would benefit our fight against the goverment.... however... we never forget that these Captains are civilians too... they just do their job like they suppose to do. The Blood Dragons stand for honour and pride, and killing innocent civilians who just do what they need to do is out of question. Of course if someone is stubborn enough to give resistance, we need to still take care of this matter. But if bloodshed can be brevented... then that is the best solution"
"I understand. As you already know we have no operational bases within Kusari and the Golden Chrysanthemums currently lack a central leadership. It is my hope that your local bases can accept this wing."
"In this matter I must disapoint you, the Blood Dragons do not pocees any base inside okinawa.... however we have a base in Honshu which is only about 15 klicks from a Okinawa Jumphole away"
Yoshida nods his head in thanks. "The Lane Hackers are glad to renew this old agreement. It is an important agreement for us, Shogun." He exhanged glances with Mr Sun and continued. "While waiting for your ships to arrive, back in Shikoku, your transport captain informed us that he procured supplies from Liberty."
"As you may know, we have an organized smuggling ring. Perhaps we could assist you in a way?"
"Hai... we use smuggling routes to supply our bases inside Kusari and we take every help we can get to strengthen our forces"
"Daimyo Yuki, takes care of such transports and also pay everyone who helps the Blood Dragons with supplies"
She nods from the wall in responce
Aruga continues taking notes.
Yoshida glances at Yuki briefly. "That's good to hear. Are you currently upgrading a newly constructed base? These must be especially demanding and our assistance could more efficiently be used there."
He shakes his head "We have currently no base under construction"
"I see. I'd like to request your Daimyo's attention afterwards, to further discuss our supply assistance."
Yoshida drank from his cup tea and since noone said anything he continued.
"I have presented you Shogun with some important matters. Do you have any matter that you wish to bring to my attention, perhaps?
"Hai... the numbers of ships you wish to bring into Kusari"
"You must be referring to the wing we will re-deploy in eastern Kusari, yes?"
He nods
"I... had not been given exact intel about the size of the wing. But since typically our wings consist of four ships, I believe that is a safe answer, Shogun. As we also suffer from shortages, it will usually be smaller.
He nods "Good... I will allow you that you take a wing of 4 ships to hikone in Honshu and Okinawa as well as 1 gunboat if needed"
"Thank you Shogun. I assure you that our pilots will deliver a significant interest in the local interests of Ageira and IC. And always abide by the limitations that you have set."
"But be warned... if the Lane Hackers exploit the civilians in kusari, this contract will immidiately be void"
"Also a last thing.... you will not touch nor harass any GMG vessel inside Kusari"
"All GMG vessel stand in protection of the Blood Dragons and act of hostality agains GMG will be punished"
"The same goes for the Junkers and Order ships"
"Of course. GMG is not the ones we are after. I believe I made clear of who are true enemies are. And we will honour our agreement as much as we honoured the previous one."
He smiles "Good... now that everything is clear... lets drink on the refreshed friendship between the Blood Dragons and the Lane Hackers" He rises his cup
Yoshida nodded and rose his tea cup as well.
"Kanpai!" He smirks and drinks his cup empty
"Kanpai!" Aruga also rasies a glass.
Yuki, who was against the wall, says the same thing but raise a glass of water she asked for
Yoshida and Mr Sun also finish their drinks. Their attention now shifts to Yuki standing on the wall...
He also looks at Yuki and nods
Yuki nods to Yoshida, listening to what he had to say
"Daimyo, would you honor me by joining us? I do not feel comfortable talking to you over such distance."
Yuki does just that, walking over however taking a seat where Kohaku just motioned to before looking back at Yoshida, "What is it you wish to speak about?"
Aruga watched carefully as he took more notes.
"About the trading opportunities..."
Yuki nods "I offer a good amount of money for some cargo, depending on the target its taken from, and what it is, there are bonus and things like that yes." She reachs into her pocket and brings out her data pad and sending Yoshida a private data link before noding and putting her pad away
Yoshida nods and grabs a small stick for a neural net stick from his pocket. "I will save the channel and we will respond when we return to Liberty."
She nods "I'll add the Hackers to the bonus sheet as well when I get a moment to access the channel again."
"Thank you, Daimyo." and with that he finished his tea while waiting for Shogun to end the meeting.
She bows her head and looks back at Kohaku
"Very well, I will give out a announcment about this contract as soon as possible" He nods "Yoshida-san, please feel free to stay on Kyoto and take some rest"
"Thank you, Shogun, we indeed had a long travel and lengthy discussions. We could use a rest."
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Alright there, slick hound.
[LN]-John.Graham: *sigh*
LH~Nicole.Hunter: Mr. Scorpius - No explosive ordinance. We want him alive.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Well look
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: He tried to disrupt me
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Without understanding the idea of us going after him
[LN]-John.Graham: 'course I did. I don't like nerds flying at high velocity towards me.
LH~Nicole.Hunter: You can also surrender now and we will skip the fun part.
[LN]-John.Graham: Especially ones with guns.
LH~Nicole.Hunter: You have 5 seconds. Surrender or we will force you.
[LN]-John.Graham: *chuckles*
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: You are to yield and prepare to answer some very easy and specific answers
[LN]-John.Graham: I hope you bought some new guns, boy.
LH~Nicole.Hunter: Very well. Precision fire.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Alright then. Let's deweaponise him
LN-Blood.and.gore: Moving in to assist
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Changing target.
LH~Nicole.Hunter: Ship is ripe for taking.
LH~Nicole.Hunter: Officer - stand down.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Surrender now.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: And you will be spared of humiliating end
LH~Nicole.Hunter: As well as your life.
LH~Nicole.Hunter: *sending complete system overtake signal*
[LN]-John.Graham: Hmm. Let me give you an answer on that one. One second.
[LN]-John.Graham: Oh, right. I have my answer.
[LN]-John.Graham: Screw off.
Death: [LN]-John.Graham suffered a self-administered loadout error (Mine).
[LN]-John.Graham: *pod ejects*
Conclusion - no information was extracted, target decided to destroy his own ship instead of complying. Low level of combat skills combined with high morality makes this pilot overconfident but loyal.
Interrogation Attempt #2 - John Graham and Alan Jones of Liberty Navy
LH~A~Norman.Bates.: Reporting.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Keep the primary alive
[LN]-John,Graham: Right. Now that I have something that has a turn-rate higher than that of a Barge...
LH~A~Norman.Bates.: Shall I initiate assassination protocols?
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Do it
LH~A~Norman.Bates.: Primary target is weakened.
LH~A~Norman.Bates.: Suggesting switching to non-lethal targeting.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Surrender and we will spare you
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Kill this one
LH~A~Norman.Bates.: *initiating hostile takeover of navcomm*
LH~A~Norman.Bates.: *succeeds? Yes/No*
Death: [LN]-Alan.Jones was put out of action by LH~Vladimir.Scorpius. (Gun).
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Disable John now.
LH~A~Norman.Bates.: *slowly uploading firewall viruses through lane star charts updates*
Death: [LN]-John,Graham was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
Conclusion - No information extracted, targets refused to surrender for questioning and were destroyed. Both pilots showed lack of combat skills. They were overconfident in their abilities.44
Interrogation Attempt #3 - Dan Marshall Secondary Fleet Core
SFC|Dan.Marshall: I am just a navy pilot. I fight Rheinland and that's it, basicly.
LH~A~Norman.Bates.: This will be fine
SFC|Dan.Marshall: Alright
LH~A~Norman.Bates.: We will wait for a your interrogator.
SFC|Dan.Marshall: So uh... I'll just wait.
LH~A~Norman.Bates.: Even if you're just a simple officer.
LH~A~Norman.Bates.: You know general information and gossips.
LH~A~Norman.Bates.: I may reroute some questions in the time being.
SFC|Dan.Marshall: True, but it's just stuff about Texas and Rheinlanders mostly. But to spare my life, I'll tell you what I know.
LH~A~Norman.Bates.: That's very reasonable choice.
SFC|Dan.Marshall: Looks like all of you pirates are out in Liberty today.
LH~A~Norman.Bates.: Four officers of the primary Navy were not wise enough.
LH~A~Norman.Bates.: In the meanwhile, I am re-routing one question from your interrogator.
LH~A~Norman.Bates.: Do you happen to know why primary fleet has taken such a low profile in last months?
LH~A~Norman.Bates.: Being nearly entirely replaced by 5th and SFC, mostly 5th?
SFC|Dan.Marshall: Sorry, I was putting out a fire here
LH~A~Norman.Bates.: Your interrogator is almost here.
SFC|Dan.Marshall: I do not know what happened within primary fleet. SFC operates independently
LH~A~Norman.Bates.: Provocateur Scorpius, the target is yours.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Are you telling us that you keep no contact with the anyone else outside the SFC?
SFC|Dan.Marshall: Uh... hello there.
SFC|Dan.Marshall: Of course I do, but I don't keep contact with primary fleet.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: And why is that so?
LH~A~Norman.Bates.: It showed exceptional threat in comparison to most of Liberty Navy targets lately.
LH~A~Norman.Bates.: Standing down.
SFC|Dan.Marshall: Some of the higher-ups at SFC keep in touch with primary fleet, but I'm just a grunt
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: So in essence, you are much more independent organisation than the fifth fleet?
SFC|Dan.Marshall: I guess you could say so. We usually follow our own commanders and operate together, independently of other navy fleets
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: What do you know about the primary fleet in general?
SFC|Dan.Marshall: Not much, as you said yourself their ships are rarely about.
SFC|Dan.Marshall: And lately, I've only seen their fleet ships
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Clear out. This Grunt is useless
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Whoopsie doopsy
John.Butcher: I saw one of your men run away today
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: That;s an odd surname
John.Butcher: Suits me better
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: That was actually me, you punk.
John.Butcher: Ah, glad to hear
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Now that you reminded.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: We do have unfinished business
John.Butcher: Back to the unfinished business then?
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Well. Too bad for you. Your shield ain't gonna hold long against me. Tough luck I guess.
John.Butcher: Time will tell
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Your scrap leftovers will tell the story.
John.Butcher: You sound too optimistic
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Either ways. Blow up yourself!
John.Butcher: Like all of your fellow men
John.Butcher: Fancy some other thing then?
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Now, perhaps you'd like to reconsider your stance?
John.Butcher: I would rather die in honour
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Answer few questions and ...
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Well then
Death: John.Butcher was put out of action by LH~Vladimir.Scorpius. (Missile/Torpedo).
Conclusion - No information extracted. High morality. Overconfidence. Low combat skills. Video Footage
Interrogation Attempt #5 - Emma Lynch of Liberty Navy
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Oh hey. The hound.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: So what are you doing all alone out here?
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: H-huh?
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: *she seems sleepy, possibly unwell.*
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: No answer eh?
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Well, I have tons of other questions.
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: *suddenly, she awakens.*
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: W-what the...
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Perhaps you feel like answering some of those?
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: I-I guess...
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Alrighty. Let's start the interview.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: How many active LIberty Navy officers are ther ein the primary fleet?
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: *she yawns* Let's make it quick, cause I'm pooped!
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: That's classified, partner.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: This is most unfortunate.
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: Yeah, otherwise blabber mouths like you would get to it.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Perhaps a little incentive to answer these questions and leave unscathed or at least with honor intact?
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: Or I can just, ya know, leave.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Oh no. I just wish to talk with you.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: In a manner where I ask and you answer
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: Feels like an interrogation.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Some call it a dialogue.
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: Like y'all could hurt me at any stage.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Actually, I can.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Not only you.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Hundreds of other incompetent Navy Officers as well
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: Gee willykers.
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: Now now, let's be civil.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: I am.
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: It certainly don't feel like it.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: You are not a very civil... when it comes down to answering my questions while I am still polite
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: Partner, I'm just makin' sure there ain't a security breach again.
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: Just like the one of 800.
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: But that's kinda like, common knowledge nowadays.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: So, again, I will repeat my first question.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: How many active officers are there in the Primary Fleet.
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: *she scratches her head*
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: Shucks, probably like, 3 at the least.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Eh.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: I really hoped we can talk properly.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Seems you are not willing to cooperate in this... dialogue.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: And even have the guts to openly lie.
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: Well I'm sorry I ain't a bubblin' pool of intel.
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: Dang it.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Too bad. I am actually looking for it.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Therefore.
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: Backing up the logs.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: You got two strikes.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: I will repeat my question last time.
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: Can I just, leave?
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: Please, it's been a loooong day.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: No.
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: Whadya gonna do? Hold me hostage?
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: How many active officers are there in the primary fleet.
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: 56?
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Eh,
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: Right.
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: Going down swingin.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Any reconsideration to our dialogue?
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: f-fINE!
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Shall I repeat my first question?
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: Re-calibratin' radio signals.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Or do you know it by heart?
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: Go nuts.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: How many active officers are there in the primary fleet?
[LN]-Emma.Lynch: Enough to tear you criminals a new one.
Death: [LN]-Emma.Lynch was put out of action by LH~Vladimir.Scorpius. (Gun).
Conclusion - No success. Target showed no combat capabilities. High morality to insult us in the face of destruction.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Swoosh.
LPI-Corrigan.Upton: Having fun there, Hacker?
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Swoosh.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Aye. Having fun over here.
LPI-Corrigan.Upton: Noticed.
LPI-Corrigan.Upton: You move quick...
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Very
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Too quick for you
[LN]-Gold-11: Look at that.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: That is some heavy cavalry.
[LN]-Gold-11: Got bored of your own tech you're using Outcast' ?
LPI-Corrigan.Upton: Dunno why it's here on my shift.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Depends.
LPI-Corrigan.Upton: Kinda rude really.
=LSF=Claw: Well then
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: That is a lot of hounds sent after me
LPI-Corrigan.Upton: Whoa!
=LSF=Claw: Nah, I was just flyin' home for the night. You got in my way.
LPI-Corrigan.Upton: Hold your fire, buster!
[LN]-Gold-11: I'm not sure what you expect when you show up in the primary system oh a House.
[LN]-Gold-11: *of
=LSF=Claw: What they said
[LN]-Gold-11: You know we'll have to dispose of you, right ?
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: You can try
LPI-Corrigan.Upton: Well, he's disposing of our friends...
=LSF=Claw: Preferably quickly so I can get some sleep...
[LN]-Gold-11: I'd give you the usual chance of surrendering for interrogation...
[LN]-Gold-11: But they never choose that one.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: That's funny
=LSF=Claw: Hey, "enhanced" interrogation is my job
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: I was planning on interrogating you myself.
[LN]-Gold-11: Ah I see.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: I guess we will have to see who stands to be the one asking questions
[LN]-Gold-11: I guess you're such a badass you'll interrogate us three ?
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: No. Only who will be remaining here
[LN]-Gold-11: Let us give you a taste of Liberty then.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Well then
=LSF=Claw: On your wing.
[LN]-Gold-11: Releasing all locks.
[LN]-Gold-11: Open fire on the target.
=LSF=Claw: Firing the Classified weapons and whatnot
Death: [LN]-Gold-11 suffered a self-administered loadout error (Mine).
Death: LPI-Corrigan.Upton was put out of action by LH~Vladimir.Scorpius. (Mine).
Samuel.Isa: "Well then."
Samuel.Isa: "Come on now.'
Death: =LSF=Claw was put out of action by LH~Vladimir.Scorpius. (Mine).
Samuel.Isa: "Heh."
Death: Samuel.Isa suffered a self-administered loadout error (Mine).
Conclusion - Hilarious. No information extracted. 4 hostile ships were annihilated.
Interrogation Attempt #7 - Jack. O'neill and Daniel Carter of The Fifth Fleet
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Just what I needed. 5th finally here.
5th|Jack.O'neill: Why do you have papers which tell me you are a wanted criminal
5th|Jack.O'neill: Oh great a hacker
5th|Daniel.Carter: What do you want hacker
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: I want you to answer few questions.
5th|Jack.O'neill: What kind of questions?
5th|Daniel.Carter: Oh? I don't think so
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Perhaps that might lower my attention on harassing your poor Navy.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Well, general ones.
5th|Jack.O'neill: Go ahead.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Starting with how many active officers does the 5th Fleet have.
5th|Jack.O'neill: 150
5th|Jack.O'neill: Or 160. I am not sure
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: One might have defected
5th|Jack.O'neill: You mean that traitor Evens Carter?
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Saw the same one flying under Hellfire flags recently.
5th|Daniel.Carter: Your referring to my brother now and yes its him
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Yeah. That one.
5th|Jack.O'neill: Well make me a favour and kill him when you are able to.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Alright. And how many ships does the 5th Fleet have at their disposal currently?
5th|Jack.O'neill: You hate the hellfire too no?
5th|Daniel.Carter: Your questions are basing that our law enforcement is liers
5th|Jack.O'neill: I thought that the Fleet means MANY

LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Alrighty. Seems you need some motivation
5th|Daniel.Carter: Quiet down! The admiral is talking
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Yeah. Quiet. Because Daniel will get shot
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Blame your admiral.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: And the fact he doesn't take me seriously.

Interrogation Attempt #8 - Various Liberty lawfuls
[LN]-Gold-5: Yeah better do what he said.
[LN]-Gold-5: Just gonna'...have a talk. Promise.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Stay there
LH~Nicole.Hunter.: It might be extremely dangerous.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Catch me if you can
[LN]-Gold-5: Don't be a bloody fool now
[LN]-Gold-5: Just stop.
[LN]-Gold-5: No one's gonna' shoot if 'ye stop.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: I refuse.
[LN]-Gold-5: Fair enough.
81st|LNS-phoenix: alex: well then open fire.
Laser.Justice: I guess, you need assistance in neutralizing this criminal
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Come
[LN]-Gold-5: Not really.
[LN]-Gold-5: I just want him to stop.
Laser.Justice: Isn't it running?
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Now then
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Let's talk
[LN]-Gold-5: I like it.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Though I will be asking the questions.
[LN]-Gold-5: Phoenix stand down.
LH~Nicole.Hunter.: Troubles again, Mr Scorpius?
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Usual suspects of incompetence and hilarity
[LN]-Gold-5: Eh 'yer being a little harsh.
[LN]-Gold-5: All I wanted was talk in the first place.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: I am. So, let's see. Remind me how many active officers are flying these days on the primary fleet.
LH~Nicole.Hunter.: What interesting do you have to say?
[LN]-Gold-5: First of all I'd like tae' know why Uncle Vlad here's strollin' along the most populated system of Liberty.
[LN]-Gold-5: 'N what his intentions would be.
[LN]-Gold-5: That'd help.
LH~Nicole.Hunter.: Interesting accent.
BobMcBoginmolar: a lot
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Or you could start answering MY questions and save yourself shameful combat report.
[LN]-Gold-5: Hehe, ask ahead lad.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: I already asked.
[LN]-Gold-5: Kinda' missed it.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Seems you are rather incapable of paying attention
LH~Nicole.Hunter.: Uncle Vlad was asking about active officers of the pirmary fleet.
[LN]-Gold-5: What can I say, is' quite crowded here.
LH~Nicole.Hunter.: YOu see, recently 5th is running the show here.
Laser.Justice: Are you playing games with these criminals, navy officer?
LH~Nicole.Hunter.: As in - trying hardly.
Laser.Justice: They can be questioned elsewhere.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Coplet, nobody wants you around. Begone.
[LN]-Gold-5: I just shot one of your fellow pirate-laddies about three minutes 'go.
Laser.Justice: Like... Navy or police prison.
[LN]-Gold-5: I don't know, but I think I'm doin' well 'nough.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: I just shot dozen of your folks during the last week.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Professor, remember that hat-trick?
LH~Nicole.Hunter.: Reinforcements, Mr Scorpius.
[LN]-Gold-5: Ah, y'know the deal 'bout them rookies.
[LN]-John.Graham: Oh, christ, not -you- idiots again.
[LN]-Gold-5: Aaaall of 'ye stand down.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Like that Gold Eleven?
[LN]-Gold-5: I run the show today.
LH~Nicole.Hunter.: Is it a comedy or tragedy?
Laser.Justice: Depends on the outcome.
LH~Nicole.Hunter.: With Liberty Navy is it usually hard to say.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Is it the same John that last time chose to destroy his own ship?
[LN]-John.Graham: It's the same one that sent a ball of plasma into your favorite toy's exhaust pipe, too.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: That I do not remember
[LN]-Gold-5: Firsta' all, this all can be resolved without shootin' and all.Blah blah blah, y'all have the right to ... ech, I ain't no goo.
[LN]-Gold-5: Graham you tell 'em about their rights.
LH~Nicole.Hunter.: It was interesting that he decided to take nuke his own ship instead of answering just two questions.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Jack here did that too.
Laser.Justice: Yeah, every thug is to be aware of his damn rights. What do we even have that for?
Laser.Justice: Playing democracy with terrorists?
[LN]-John.Graham: You all have the right to remain silent. Anything you say may be used against you in a court of- Oh, forget about it.
LH~Nicole.Hunter.: I wonder if it is incompetence or more a reaction to being ashamed?
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Cardamine!
5th|Jack.O'neill: Did i? As far as i know, i just fled before you blew me up.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Use Cardamine against me!
[LN]-John.Graham: Gold Five, lock up the loudmouth. I mean the female one, of course.
[LN]-Gold-5: Eh?
[LN]-John.Graham: Turn on your lasers and start shooting the hackers. I thought you were /gold/ wing.
LH~Nicole.Hunter.: Very well.
Sarah.Howe: That would be some hackers.
[LN]-Gold-5: I was havin' a chat.
LH~Nicole.Hunter.: Let's see if I can still fly.
Laser.Justice: Can I bring these two to sugarland, navy? Pleeease?
[LN]-John.Graham: Not after this you won't.
Tyske: Get on with it!
5th|Jack.O'neill: *lights a cigarette* Don't mind me. I think i just sit back and enjoy the show.
[LN]-John.Graham: Gold Five, lock up Hunter and open fire. I'll do the same.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Well then. Engaging
Sarah.Howe: Assisting Naval forces
[LN]-Gold-5: Phoenix, stand down.
[LN]-Gold-5: I dare 'ya.
LH~Nicole.Hunter.: Are they surrendering?
[LN]-Gold-5: Ain't your fight.
LH~Nicole.Hunter.: Cease fire Scorpius - they surrender.
5th|Jack.O'neill: *smoke*This is more intresting than i first thought.
Tyske: Am I the only one who wonders since when hunting criminals has become a a fair sport?....
[LN]-John.Graham: It's not the 'fair' part of it, Tyske. It's the 'I really like my hull plating where it is' part.
[LN]-John.Graham: I don't need Archers firing their siege guns over my cockpit.
Tyske: I was actually not talking about the Siege cruiser.
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: So, will anyone answer some few simple questions or not
Tyske: I see 4 lawful fighters, and 2 criminals. since when do you ....you know what, nevermind
[LN]-Gold-5: Again, ask ahead.
Sarah.Howe: I want in on this.
LH~Nicole.Hunter.: Is your little mind incapable of comprehending this situation?
LH~Vladimir.Scorpius.: Well, how many active primary fleet officers there are.
[LN]-Gold-5: Your questions're gettin' lost in the squabble.
Tyske: Alright 5 lawful and 2 criminal
5th|Jack.O'neill: One of your guys asked some questions about the 5th Vladimir. He got his answers but not lasted long enough to tell the tale.
[LN]-Gold-5: You don't seem tae' comprehend the situation, given 'yer the criminals in the most secure system in Liberty.
LH~Nicole.Hunter.: It's hilarious.
[LN]-John.Graham: Spit it out, hackers. Be glad Gold here hasn't already shot off yer engine block.
[LN]-Gold-5: Flyin' openly like this is your backyard.
Tyske: 6 Lawful, 2 criminal
[LN]-LNS-Fall.River: Jensen: Evening there.
[LN]-Gold-5: You're smarter than this.
LH~Nicole.Hunter.: From time to time we have to do our share of mocking you like this.
[LN]-Gold-5: I'd also like tae' make clear that everyone who isn't involved can go back to their patrols for all I care.
LH~Nicole.Hunter.: Without it we feel bad.
[LN]-Gold-5: Mockin'll just make 'ya end up dead.
[LN]-Gold-5: One way or the other.
Sarah.Howe: So lets do this.
[LN]-Gold-5: Howe 'ya ain't doing nothing.
Tyske: *Sighs* Leroy Jenkins.
[LN]-Gold-5: The thing I'm gettin' at is...don't expect any kinda' fair treatment when you're just flyin' around here like that.
[LN]-Gold-5: I enjoy a good duel as much as the next guy, but 'yer askin' for trouble.
[LN]-Gold-5: Y'all can go crazy for all I care.
Sarah.Howe: Locking Hunter in my Sights
LH~Nicole.Hunter.: Let's dance before we part for tonight, honey.
Laser.Justice: I need to stop this madness.
[LN]-John.Graham: This again?
Tyske: Going crazy, they all are already as it seems
Laser.Justice: Engaging hackers.
5th|Jack.O'neill: *smoke*This is becoming even more interesting then i first thought
LNS-Saint.John: Hold your fire Firb[T]
[LN]-LNS-Fall.River: Jensen: Unfortunately for you hackers, we got more important things to do. so I'll be quick, Weapons online. Opening fire
Tyske: Jesus Christ people are going nuts today
5th|Jack.O'neill: *smoke*End of fun. Going back to work.
Tommy.Vengeance: Take it deep
Sarah.Howe: Heh
Tyske: Well that was pointless...
LNS-Saint.John: Cpt. Wilcox: Current status?
[LN]-LNS-Lansing: Morse: Looks fairly handled.
LNS-Saint.John: Looks like a large skirmish.
[LN]-LNS-Lansing: Morse: I wouldn't call it large.
5th|Jack.O'neill: I don't think they need another gunboat.
81st|LNS-phoenix: alex: nope
LNS-Saint.John: Wilcox: Well, I'll hold out so as to not hamper their efforts.
[LN]-Marisa.Marshall: A'ight, a'ight.
81st|LNS-phoenix: alex: so what happend to that HF guy?
[LN]-Marisa.Marshall: Lemme show you boys how it's done. Christ.
LNS-Saint.John: HF went boom, like they should.
LNS.Dallas: engaging enemy weapons online
5th|Jack.O'neill: Suffered an unfortunate decompression. You can find his organs or parts of his ship floating near Fort Bush
[LN]-LNS-Lansing: Morse: Dallas pull back.
LNS.Dallas: why
81st|LNS-phoenix: Alex: Dallas....don't....
[LN]-LNS-Lansing: Morse: You aren't needed.
5th|Jack.O'neill: Its under control
[LN]-LNS-Lansing: Morse: Our forces have it handled.
Tyske: What a major Cluster*bleep*
LNS.Dallas: its my duty to help out
[LN]-John.Graham: Negative, Dallas. Hold off.
[LN]-LNS-Lansing: Morse: You don't need to help.
LNS-Saint.John: You will make it more difficult, keep clear.
[LN]-LNS-Lansing: Morse: Do your duty and hold back in case of reinforcement.
LNS.Dallas: standing down
5th|Jack.O'neill: Dallas if you know what's duty. Then respect orders please. Its under control no need for cruiser.
LNS.Dallas: I said standing down
5th|Jack.O'neill: Save your guns for the krauts or the Gauls
5th|Jack.O'neill: *smiles*
LNS-Saint.John: He got the message, calm down folks.
LNS.Dallas: LNS fall mind if i join on patrol with you
LNS-Saint.John: Wilcox: Who is on the lookout for other situations?
5th|Jack.O'neill: *smoke*Damn flying away as always. When I will see the fun part?
Death: Sarah.Howe suffered a self-administered loadout error (Mine).
LNS-Saint.John: Ouch. Moving in to pick up the downed pilot.
Death: LH~Vladimir.Scorpius. was put out of action by [LN]-Gold-5 (Gun).
Conclusion - Complete failure. We have been assaulted with numerous ships. Navy rely on numbers instead of combat capabilities.

LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Oh darn it.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Last time huh?
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Haven't flown in quite some while now
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: And you claim to have killed me?
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: This is hilarious.
5th|Jack.O'neill: Well I am not surprised. You did not fly.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: I forgot what crazy place this is.
5th|Jack.O'neill: Well if not killing you at least hoping that you injured
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Let's be honest.
BDM|U-104: ?: This is the LNS-D *Strong distortion* Liberty Navy.. ..seve *crack* Nomad vessels engaging us!
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: You three against me?
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: It's not fair. For you.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Well hello there
Jorge.'Bloodgate'.Sanct: Report your Co-Ordinates LNS
5th|Jack.O'neill: CSOG-5 you want it?
4-56|LN-CSOG-5: ???: If you find yourself in a fair fight..
4-56|LN-CSOG-5: ???: Your tactics suck.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: I am in the middle of C5 with three Navy officer.s
ERR PM sender not available
BDM|U-104: ?: Sector F-5... requesting immediate assistance!
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: That is a harsh insult
4-56|LN-CSOG-5: ???: Do as you please O'Neil.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Take it back.
5th|Jack.O'neill: Allright. CSOG you decide here.
5th|Jack.O'neill: But first
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: No? Then fear my tactics you ignorant and arrogant fool!
5th|Jack.O'neill: I have some questions
5th|Richard.Valence: Engaging LH~Buffalo.Interruptor
5th|Jack.O'neill: Or not
5th|Jack.O'neill: Allright I think I join. here
5th|Jack.O'neill: Powering up weapons
5th|Jack.O'neill: Great
Jorge.'Bloodgate'.Sanct: A lot of weird activity going on in the system...
5th|Richard.Valence: You can say /that/ again. Death: 4-56|LN-CSOG-5 suffered a self-administered loadout error (Mine).
5th|Richard.Valence: Alright. I'm jumping in.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Well then Death: 5th|Richard.Valence was put out of action by LH~Buffalo.Interruptor (Gun).
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Let's talk now?
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: I said that was unfair
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Should have listened
5th|Jack.O'neill: Well I don't think I am gonna answer your questions. again. But if you have new one.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Oh. So you were already questioned before?
5th|Jack.O'neill: yep and you did it
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Well you see.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: This ship is used by many hackers
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: I see you are drifting towards safety
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Tsk stk
5th|Jack.O'neill: So what are those questions?
Don't use F1 or disconnect when interacting with other players.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: About the Liberty forces
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Composition
5th|Jack.O'neill: Go ahead maybe i can help you
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Deployment
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Etc.
5th|Jack.O'neill: Please give straight questions
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Let's see.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: How many active members does your fleet have?
5th|Jack.O'neill: 600
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Please stick around
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Lanes are bad
5th|Jack.O'neill: So.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: I lured you away for a reason
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: What ares is the 5th mostly patrolling?
5th|Jack.O'neill: Everywhere in Liberty core space
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: What about counter-invasions?
5th|Jack.O'neill: We leave the outer rim for the arrogant ones.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Do you attack Hamburg system?
5th|Jack.O'neill: Sometimes
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: And those are?
5th|Jack.O'neill: LSF for example
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: LSF.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Heh
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: You have a grudge against them?
5th|Jack.O'neill: I do.
5th|Jack.O'neill: But those are personal reasons
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: This is most interesting.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Well, so what about LSF?
5th|Jack.O'neill: What about them?
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: What kind of composition are they about?
5th|Jack.O'neill: They are arrogant
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Like, mostly flown ships?
5th|Jack.O'neill: Nothing more i can tell about them.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Where do they deploy from?
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: That's rather sad.
5th|Jack.O'neill: Mostly for the planet behind you.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: What about the primary fleet of Liberty planet?
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Fleet*
5th|Jack.O'neill: what about them?
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Where do they patrol the most?
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: What ships they fly?
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: How often do the patrol
5th|Jack.O'neill: We are on the same patrol routes as they do. And they use many type of ships. From fighters to Battleships.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Scary.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Alrighty. Well. I guess you were of use after all.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Good luck with your repair bills.
5th|Jack.O'neill: The taxpayers money
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Right.
5th|Jack.O'neill: its free.
5th|Jack.O'neill: Also
5th|Jack.O'neill: can I ask for one thing
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Depends.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: You may ask. I may not answer though.
5th|Jack.O'neill: do not mention my name in your report.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Heh.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: I do not sniff on my sources.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: I sniff only Cardamine.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: Long time no see.
5th|Jack.O'neill: you have traitor within your ranks
5th|Jack.O'neill: Just so you know.
LH~Buffalo.Interruptor: How so?
5th|Jack.O'neill: Did you ever think about why do we know where you appear and most of the times we encounter you. not the 5th| but--
5th|Jack.O'neill: --other navy
Conclusion - Success. Finally able to acquire some information. The target also tried to lower our morale by implying we have a traitor among our ranks.
Interrogation Attempt #10 - Chris Elias and Lily Hale of Liberty Navy
Format: What is this about?
[LN]-Chris.Elias: You, I would hope
[LN]-Chris.Elias: But I am looking for another one...
[LN]-Chris.Elias: that one!
Format: Does someone needs being erased or what?
[LN]-Chris.Elias: Well, max, looks like the hackers need you after all
Mr.Yoshida': Ah Mr Elias.
[LN]-Chris.Elias: *click* weapons coming back online
Mr.Yoshida': You must be the brother of an Interspace captain?
[LN]-Chris.Elias: cousin
Mr.Yoshida': The one I mania-interrogated.
Mr.Yoshida': Poor fella.
[LN]-Chris.Elias: We do not talk much
Mr.Yoshida': He made a really poor career choice
[LN]-Chris.Elias: well, it better than criminals...
Format: Mr. Elias, do you talk a lot?
[LN]-Chris.Elias: he does not have to hide in a rock to survive
Format: Because there are things I need to extract.
[LN]-Chris.Elias: To you? I would guess we can talk in court
LH~Max.Largo: Its because of people like your
LH~Max.Largo: brother
Format: Eh. So remind me, how many active officers are on duty in the primary fleet?
LH~Max.Largo: that we are labelled as criminals
[LN]-Chris.Elias: I am not telling you anything hackers
[LN]-Chris.Elias: except that YOU have the right to remain silent
Mr.Yoshida': It must be really embarrassing that your cousin had to cry in system-wide frequency. For all Honshu to hear.
Format: Then you are not useful piece of data that needs to be erased.
Format: Executing protocol. Format is in place.
[LN]-LNS-Vigilance: Valentine: Hey boys!
[LN]-Chris.Elias: Well, this just got interesting!
Mr.Yoshida': Keep your ears open. Cloaked Battleship may be close.
[LN]-Chris.Elias: weapons online!
[LN]-LNS-Vigilance: Valentine: Alright Chris, let me give you assistance!
Mr.Yoshida': Retreat. Ontario jump hole, Mr Largo.
Mr.Yoshida': Combat software loading... Activating weapon systems!
LH~Max.Largo: Exelent suggestion mister Yoshida
[LN]-Lily.Hale.: Cannonballers, I heard.
[LN]-Lily.Hale.: That's awful.
[LN]-Lily.Hale.: Prepare to be punished for it.
[LN]-Lily.Hale.: Moving in.
Mr.Yoshida': Ah. Here is the sister
Mr.Yoshida': of the notorious former Admiral.
[LN]-Lily.Hale.: A rapier
[LN]-Lily.Hale.: even worse
[LN]-LNS-Vigilance: Oh, you want me to throw my gunboat in the fight?
[LN]-LNS-Vigilance: Ok then!
[LN]-Lily.Hale.: Kill the rapier
[LN]-Lily.Hale.: It deserves no pity
5th|Jack.O'neill: Greetings
5th|Jack.O'neill: Whats going on here?
5th|Jack.O'neill: I suppose you can handle it. I just sit back and enjoy.*lights a cigarette*
[LN]-Zoe.Valentine: Alright, looks like you guys need my help
[LN]-Zoe.Valentine: Charging guns, assisting
Viviana.D'Zelra: I suppose assistance isn't needed?
[LN]-Chris.Elias: nope
Viviana.D'Zelra: Very well
5th|Jack.O'neill: *sigh* Ion Storms
5th|Jack.O'neill: So...
5th|Jack.O'neill: Zoe Do you need any help?
[LN]-Zoe.Valentine: Not yet, I think
5th|Jack.O'neill: Allright.
[LN]-Zoe.Valentine: Actually, I could use the assistance
5th|Jack.O'neill: Ok from me.
5th|Jack.O'neill: Then time to power up weapons.
[LN]-Lily.Hale.: No.
[LN]-Lily.Hale.: Resupply complete, I'll move back in.
5th|Jack.O'neill: Seriously?
[LN]-Lily.Hale.: Save yourself the trouble, O'neill.
5th|Jack.O'neill: Who in charge from the 3 of you? Just curious.
Format: I am
LH~Max.Largo: Alright
5th|Jack.O'neill: *sigh* Hackers.
5th|Jack.O'neill: Finish that hacker for crying out loud.
Death: Format was put out of action by [LN]-Zoe.Valentine (Gun).
Conclusion - Failure. However it was revealed once more that Liberty Navy relies on numbers and fails to provide any challenge when not outnumbering 3 to 1.
Interrogation Attempt #11 - Jack O'neill of Fifth Fleet
Format: Is that? Is that ship from detachable parts?
5th|Jack.O'neill: So. what are you doing here?
Format: Mr. Oneill. So, I wonder, how is the current [LN] Admiral doing?
Format: Do you play pool often?
5th|Jack.O'neill: I don't know. Maybe you should ask him.
Format: He's not around a lot
5th|Jack.O'neill: Happens
Format: And I love erasing your ships
Format: So then
Format: Shall we begin the data extraction
Format: Mr. O'neill. What is the most patrolled area for your fleet?
5th|Jack.O'neill: Every part of Liberty including the border systems
Format: That's bland and vague answer.
Format: Let me repeat my query.
Format: What is the most patrolled area in Liberty by your Fleet.
5th|Jack.O'neill: As I said its every part of Liberty
Format: Failure to extract data. I will have to engage the formatting protocols.
5th|Jack.O'neill: *sigh*
5th|Jack.O'neill: I am not lying.
Format: I will stop them after the corrupted partition is gone.
Format: *weapons are being powered*
Format: *power surge is being accumulated*
5th|Jack.O'neill: Bye
Format: I will shred him to piece
5th|Jack.O'neill: Seriously?
Format: Let's talk?
5th|Jack.O'neill: I don't think so
Format: Perhaps more data unveiled?
Death: 5th|Jack.O'neill suffered a self-administered loadout error (Mine).
Conclusion - Hilarious. The target managed to fled only to remain exposed at Fort Bush. Annihilated with high ferocity for ignoring me the first time.
Interrogation Attempt #12 - Alan Jones, Rachel Baker and William Jensen of Liberty Navy
[LN]-Alan.Jones: Something weird was a base somewhere in the bad-egged clouds over there.
[LN]-Alan.Jones: Uh-um. Look at that hacker go.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Enemy contact...
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Hey you, cut your engines yeah?
Format: I'd rather not.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: What're you doing so close to a populated world, eh?
Format: Not really your business.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: You know...
[LN]-Alan.Jones: I suppose he isn't on the talking mood.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: That's not the right answer.
[LN]-Alan.Jones: Shall I...?
Format: I can give you left answer
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Not even worth the effort, jog on, pirate trash.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Jones, back here on me.
Format: Oh no
[LN]-Alan.Jones: Mhm..
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Oh it's like that?
Format: I'd rather not lose the company
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: you're not too bright, are you Hacker?
Format: I totally forgot.
[LN]-Alan.Jones: Poor poor hacker, all by himself.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Screw it, Jones you're cleared to engage hostile target.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Weapons free.
Format: Which one of you wishes to answer my questions and leave unscathed?
[LN]-Alan.Jones: Meet the maker!
Format: Which one of you wants to answer my questions and leave unscathed?
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: What're you on about, Hacker?
[LN]-Alan.Jones: Come on.. just yet!
Format: Let me show you what scathing means then
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Uh...right.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Resume combat manoeuvres then.. *she sighs* Death: [LN]-Alan.Jones was put out of action by Format (Mine).
Format: Yep
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Tractoring the pod..
Format: It's all about the timing
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: So what in the hell are you doing out here, Hacker?
Format: Waiting till one of you willingly answer my questions
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: What questions?
Format: I did ask nicely.
Format: But your overconfident order resulted in destroyed Guardian.
Format: My questions are really simple.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: So then, get to it already.
Format: How many officers are there patrolling the area from Primary Fleet?
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: A lot.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: And plenty from other fleets as well.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Exact numbers and details on troop movements and patrols are, you know, classified.
Format: Too bad
Format: What about your admiral?
Format: What is he like?
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: He rose in the ranks pretty quick, and he seems to be a decent soldier. Hell is your interest anyway?
Format: Well. I will be honest
Format: You are overly rude
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Ha! I've never been accused of being friendly before.
Format: But now I do remember. Last time we met, I took your ship down in Badlands.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Oh?
Format: I wonder, have your learned something new during all these months?
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: *she laughs softly* Yeeah, I'm not so much of a fighterjock, you know?
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: I prefer commanding a ship with a crew.
Format: That is most fortunate for me then
Format: Though I learned through trial and error. Painful error.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Ah huh, so we're similar in that, at least.
Format: So let's cut a deal. I roughen you up, and you become less rude.
Format: Or we can skip this altogether, and you do answer my questions properly.
Half.Baked.Hellhound: hey hacker can you make some transports appear?
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: You're not gonna do anything to me that the Gallic Navy didn't do when they destroyed The Anchorage, months ago.
Format: Yes.
Format: *claps three times*
Format: Will be here in ten minutes
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: As for your questions, I already told you, exact details on troop strength and movements are classified.
Half.Baked.Hellhound: that's a navy ship
Format: Declassify them
Half.Baked.Hellhound: shouldn't we run or something?
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Not in my power to do that, when I don't even have access myself.
Format: Or I will start formatting you until these corrupt sectors of data are gone and extraction is possible
Format: Well then
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Formatting me?
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: That's pretty hot.
Format: I guess there's little else to do but to erase your ship
[LN]-William.Jensen: What's hot, Colonel?
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Nothing, Jensen.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Nothing at all.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: So, Hacker..
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Are you gonna jog on, or what?
Format: Another one joins the fray?
[LN]-William.Jensen: What to do, Colonel?
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Standby, Jensen..
Format: Until my curiosity is unsatisfied.
Format: I will be a constant pain to the Navy
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: You're not ever gonna get classified information, Hacker.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: And even if somebody DOES give you something, it won't be accurate.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: You know what..
Format: Then I will start to partition your forces.
Format: Junkers should be able to glue your ship parts back together
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Even if they can
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: You won't get the data, since the drives flash upon destruction.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: But I mean, good luck.
Format: We will see
Format: Time to bake the baker, I suppose.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Jensen, lock target...I'm tired of this.
[LN]-William.Jensen: Your wish is my command
Format: Vombat
[LN]-William.Jensen: Weapons online, opening fire
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: You're cleared to engage, weapons free.
LH~A~Travis.Bickle: Well well, what a catch...
LH~A~Travis.Bickle: Two Liberty Navy pilots without support
LH~A~Travis.Bickle: I'm gonna claim you both!
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Fantastic..
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Moving in to engage hostile target... *she sighs*
Format: Bad call
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Should told your dog that : [LN]-William.Jensen suffered a self-administered loadout error (Mine).
Format: All yours, unless she wants to declassify some intel to me
LH~A~Travis.Bickle: I don't think she wants to...
Format: Do leave her ship lingering if possible.
Format: I will head down to stop any interruptions
LH~A~Travis.Bickle: Understood
Format: Like this one
Format: A Liberator
Format: Damn those things
Format: Stay put, dog
Format: Refusing to listen to your superior?
Format: Engaging
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Disengage, Willard.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: No need for you to fall here.
Format: Last chance to talk, Ms.
Format: Hold fire a bit
LPI-Tim.Willard[RO]: backup incoming
LH~A~Travis.Bickle: Holding fire...
LH~A~Travis.Bickle: more mercs incoming...
Format: Kill them all now
LH~A~Travis.Bickle: Roger that
John.Armada: Assissting LN and LPI! Weapons activated!
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Get that gunboat out of here
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Sol, Disengage!
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: ready to ride the lightning, ejecting!
Death: [LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW was put out of action by LH~A~Travis.Bickle (Gun).
LH~A~Travis.Bickle: who's next?
Death: LPI-Tim.Willard[RO] was put out of action by LH~A~Travis.Bickle (Gun).
Death: LNS-Sol was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
Helena.Devine: Nice dance you're having.
Helena.Devine: And right near Huntsvile. You Hackers have class.
Helena.Devine: Well done.
Death: John.Armada was put out of action by LH~A~Travis.Bickle (Mine).
Conclusion - No information extracted. Officers failed miserably. Again, trusted in numbers, but this time their plan didn't work as Travis Bickle aided me.
Interrogation Attempt #13 - James Lambert and Rachel Baker of Liberty Navy
[LN]-James.Lambert': Stop, Hacker.
Format: No can do
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Oh, you again.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: What, you're not still questing for classified intel?
Format: I am. Always
[LN]-James.Lambert': I'd suggest you keep running.
Format: I do work out from time to time
Format: So running is part of my cardio
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Your jokes still aren't funny.
[LN]-James.Lambert': Decided unfunny, I'd say.
[LN]-James.Lambert': Shall we toast this Hacker, Colonel?
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Mm...up to you.
LNS-Alaska: Cmdr: Halt Haker
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Alaska...stand down
LNS-Alaska: Just keeping him locked down.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Mm..
[LN]-James.Lambert': Okay Hacker, either clear out now or I'm opening up.
Format: So what now?
[LN]-James.Lambert': Your choice.
Format: I will take my chances
[LN]-James.Lambert': Fine. Guns hot!
Format: And perhaps roughen you up before questioning
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Oh right..
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Weapons armed, moving to assist if needed.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Screw it, weapons free, engaging hostile target!
LNS-Alaska: Getting another distress call, you appear to have this well in hand Pilots
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Roger that, see you on the other side, Alaska.
5th|Henry.T.Chakste: Oh, that's interesting.
5th|Jack.O'neill: Aye.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Standby...we've got this for now.
5th|Jack.O'neill: Let us enjoy the fireworks.
5th|Henry.T.Chakste: Poor hacker boy is getting his nose removed.
5th|Henry.T.Chakste: Interesting.
5th|Jack.O'neill: Lets hope this time they teach him how to die.
5th|Henry.T.Chakste: Are you sure you have this?
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: C'mere, Hacker.
5th|Henry.T.Chakste: If he tries to flee, I will make sure things happen.
BHG|Party.Crasher: Well well, a Hacker.
5th|Henry.T.Chakste: Looks like the party is about to be crashed
5th|Jack.O'neill: BHG ship stand by.
5th|Jack.O'neill: We got this
BHG|Party.Crasher: Missile tubes loaded.
5th|Jack.O'neill: Sit back and enjoy the fight.
5th|Jack.O'neill: Hey bunter
5th|Henry.T.Chakste: Well then.
5th|Jack.O'neill: Watch your fire!
BHG|Party.Crasher: Shouldnt you be yknow, saving that Navy pilot?
5th|Jack.O'neill: Or what? You kill me? I would not recommend to do that.
5th|Henry.T.Chakste: That would be rather unproductive.
5th|Jack.O'neill: Or even try that.
5th|Henry.T.Chakste: I can't stand this.
IMG|GLS:Artemis[R]: Howdy gals and fellas
5th|Jack.O'neill: Greetings IMG
5th|Henry.T.Chakste: Be right back, I suppose.
5th|Henry.T.Chakste: Gotta need more bats for the LN.

5th|Henry.T.Chakste: Yeah, screw this.
BHG|Party.Crasher: Going in, missiles loaded and firing.
5th|Henry.T.Chakste: Party Crasher, on me.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: You what?
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Disengaging.
5th|Jack.O'neill: I will still sit back and enjoy.
5th|Henry.T.Chakste: The hacker has enough.
[LN]-James.Lambert': Copy.
[LN]-James.Lambert': *Sighs.* I think I've had enough too.
[LN]-Rachel.Baker|8thAW: Lets proceed to Texas, Lambert.
[LN]-James.Lambert': You're a good pilot, Hacker. I'll give you that.

Conclusion - Mission Failure. However, another showcase of their total incompetence.
Final Conclusions:
• Out of all targets, noone was worthy challenger on combat skills. However, both First Fleet and the Fifth relies on overwhelming opposition by high numbers of spacecrafts they throw at. All of the Navy pilots have high morality and resilience towards being interrogated, which made forcing any information impossible. Only one case of success and one partial success can be reported.
• No Liberty Security Forces pilots were encountered, meaning they either operate in complete cover or are simply non existent and irrelevant.
• The only important information I was able to gather is that LSF is having a strife with Fifth Fleet. The alarming intel obtained is the allegation that we have a traitor in our ranks.
• From the combat-oriented point of view, it is safe to assume that nearly all of Navy pilots are receiving lackluster training or have no talent for it. Perhaps Cardamine have increased our capabilities beyond professional military men who are responsible for safekeeping the Republic.
• During the mission, I have managed to down more ships than I reported about, but due to their irrelevance to the mission, I have not wasted time nor bandwidth for such unimportant data.
• With this I conclude my special mission and finally can get back to harassing corporate weasels.
Good day ladies and gentlemen.The following is a report of my account to do with the completion of the mission in all Phases:
Mission 37 Mission type: Special
Mission status: Completed
Phase 1
Mr.Yoshida took interest in my initiation and gave me an opportunity to help with the mission. I have had some experience in this type of work before... but I was also introduced to commanding a cloaking transport for the purposes of recording the footage. Mr. Yoshida took extra care to have the ship's identity concealed and had disguised it as a Junker vessel. On the day of the recording he notified me that he detected an IND transport heading down from Omicron Alpha. Getting into position at the California Jump Hole in Texas after infultrating Peuto Rico for fuel supply, I cloaked when Mr. Yoshida gave the signal and awaited my target. Sure enough the target came into sight and I followed it the rest of the way to Planet Texas where the IND ship docked. This happened one more time that day and once more by myself I noticed an IND coming down and took a recording of the vessel. During the recording I tried to get as much information as I could on the ship for safe keeping as well and the recordings show scans of the ship's equipment and not only it's cargo.
Mr.Yoshida created a script for the commercial and using a voice emulation program we recorded ourselves and concealed identity. I then put together the important parts of the recordings, added music for entertainment, and also added previous evidence of the IND carrying artifacts as well.
Phase 3
Using a covert identity we broadcasted the video at peak times when the public net was being used and it quickly got attention. The video got the attention of the LPI as well as the LSF. This whole series of events is still unfolding as Mr.Yoshida and Mr.Scorpius also submitted evidence to the Rheinland officials concerning the transportation of Blood Diamonds. These humiliation strikes left a large dent indeed to the IND organization and their heads that were lifted up high had bowed down.
Interruptor Wolfgang Weisen would like to report that Mission 32 - Phase 2 has been completed without any implications or encounters. Here is the attached log of the report:
