By the professorship decision as of today we are introducing stealth operations protocol into our operations. Please familiarize yourself with new briefings section.
My operations started with some hostile targets being targeted at repaired California Jump Gates. One of the Navy ships was destroyed while the other cloaked and fled the scene.
I managed to ambush a Freelancer Serenity with full load of awful Liberty Ale and coerced the captain to wire two million credits.
My plan was to intercept and sack Ageira transport, however the corporate weasel used other means to enter California from Cortez. I did not give up and caught up with the flunky at Riverside station, forcing to proceed with emergency mooring.
Back in New York, I surprised the same shill by ambushing and trapping him with half load of Copper Ore. I tried to extort the precious cargo but the captain tried tricking me and paid in full by losing his ship, his cargo and his pride. The cargo was worth a lot back at Buffalo Station.
During Lockdown operation I commanded, I encountered an opportunity to fulfill Mission #31, Phase 2. During the whole time, we succeeded in multiple extortion attempts and termination orders. Mr. Chang was positioned at Ontario Jump Hole and sacked Gateway| ship with Gravity Field Stabilizers for round million credits Afterwards, a Freelancer passed the same area and was departed from his earnings. Nicole Hunter was positioned at Kepler Jump Gates hunted down a smuggler ship that was not involved with our products and obtained small token of respect. Liberty Navy sent a lone Gunboat which we all dealt with haste and without significant damages incurred. The same Gateway vessel was intercepted by me. Since it already paid the price and was completely empty I decided to simply order captain to insult LPI on system wide channel. After a lot of attempts to coerce the captain to comply, I had no choice but to be uncooperative with his please in return. Lastly, wing of mixed 5th ships arrived to engage us but we quickly scared them away and crippled a Navy Gunboat. Sadly, the damage was too great and it imploded.
During the following days, I did some more ambushes and managed to catch DSE ship hauling Pharmaceuticals. After a interrogative information extraction, I manipulated the captain to speak against Liberty Government on system-wide channel. I have to add that this is not the first time this captain is talkative.
Evening My fellow hackers
Tonight I was assisting Mr Grave's in his lockdown we was backed up by Mr. Huracan And Ms Nicole Hunter I believe that Gustav Graves will report on this later. During this lockdown I saw my chance to interrogate a DSE cockaloum during this interrogation I discovered that they was using a modular base as a copper ore storage plant this base is located in D/3.
[15.12.2016 20:03:29] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Howdy.
[15.12.2016 20:04:00] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: That was rude.
[15.12.2016 20:04:01] Elocin.Retnuh: Good evening.
[15.12.2016 20:04:06] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Could have just asked me to stop.
[15.12.2016 20:04:11] Elocin.Retnuh: Now please power down your engine.
[15.12.2016 20:04:23] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Done.
[15.12.2016 20:04:24] Elocin.Retnuh: Thank you.
[15.12.2016 20:04:28] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: See, not so hard to ask.
[15.12.2016 20:04:49] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Just a moment I heard a noise.
[15.12.2016 20:04:50] Elocin.Retnuh: It looks like you're having an operation here.
[15.12.2016 20:05:15] Elocin.Retnuh: Is that lovely base out there yours?
[15.12.2016 20:06:01] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Sorry about that.
[15.12.2016 20:06:15] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: My engines power supply went to fritz
[15.12.2016 20:06:23] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Had to restart the whole system
[15.12.2016 20:06:39] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Otherwise both of us would be, once again, star stuff.
[15.12.2016 20:06:44] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: You were saying ?
[15.12.2016 20:07:00] Elocin.Retnuh: I asked you whether the lovely base out there is your operation.
[15.12.2016 20:07:03] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: And that is what happens when you shoot a cruise disruptor.
[15.12.2016 20:07:15] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Yes, it is. And she's lovely ain't she.
[15.12.2016 20:07:29] Elocin.Retnuh: Is this a mining operation?
[15.12.2016 20:07:49] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: We are here with authorization from the Legion and those who claim this system.
[15.12.2016 20:07:58] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: For operational information do ask them.
[15.12.2016 20:08:25] Elocin.Retnuh: You said yourself this is your base.
[15.12.2016 20:08:33] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Correct.
[15.12.2016 20:08:54] Elocin.Retnuh: For what purpose have you established this base in such a remote place?
[15.12.2016 20:09:13] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Well, are you sure you are a lane hacker ?
[15.12.2016 20:09:22] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: That information is a matter of public domain.
[15.12.2016 20:09:34] Chang: Dont be silly we are Lane hackers
[15.12.2016 20:09:37] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: And here you are asking a random captain why was the base built there by the engineerings and the top brass.
[15.12.2016 20:10:01] Huracan: That's our software distributor I see!
[15.12.2016 20:10:14] Elocin.Retnuh: There must be a reason for it, then.
[15.12.2016 20:10:39] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: The copper field.
[15.12.2016 20:11:15] Elocin.Retnuh: Further questioning will be done by Mr Chang.
[15.12.2016 20:11:34] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Sure, this is not a covert operation.
[15.12.2016 20:11:41] DSE)C-26.Metroliner: Hey fellas
[15.12.2016 20:11:42] Elocin.Retnuh: If you satisfy us with answers you will not be harmed.
[15.12.2016 20:11:43] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: I am kinda surprised you folk don't know about this already.
[15.12.2016 20:11:51] Chang: So whats the perpose of this base?
[15.12.2016 20:11:55] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: C-26 take a holding position at my wing.
[15.12.2016 20:12:03] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Storage of copper ore.
[15.12.2016 20:12:22] Chang: For transportation where?
[15.12.2016 20:12:29] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Various locations.
[15.12.2016 20:12:37] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Some in Kusari, some in Liberty.
[15.12.2016 20:13:00] Chang: And is it only DSE that move it or is it on the open market
[15.12.2016 20:13:23] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: We sometimes ship the ore via outside contractors.
[15.12.2016 20:13:36] Chang: And these would be?
[15.12.2016 20:14:02] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: The base is fairly new, so we have not made a long term contact with anyone yet, our own logistics unit did most of the
[15.12.2016 20:14:05] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Shipping
[15.12.2016 20:14:16] Gustav.Graves: Oh happy day.
[15.12.2016 20:14:21] Gustav.Graves: Two of them.
[15.12.2016 20:14:27] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: However it is a matter of public record that USI handled a few shipments for us.
[15.12.2016 20:14:48] Chang: So what is the progress of the buliding
[15.12.2016 20:15:19] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: We are delivering hull segments from Planet Houston, you'd have to ask an engineer what they 'use 'em for.
[15.12.2016 20:15:42] Chang: I mean how far is it to being completed
[15.12.2016 20:16:00] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: It is a modular base, and "completed" is a broad term.
[15.12.2016 20:16:16] Chang: And what are current storage capabilites
[15.12.2016 20:16:17] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: I do not know what is the end goal of the facility.
[15.12.2016 20:16:42] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: You'd have to ask some of the folks working there that.
[15.12.2016 20:16:50] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: This is my 2nd time in Kansas.
[15.12.2016 20:17:05] DSE)C-26.Metroliner: Chang, Elocin and Gustav
[15.12.2016 20:17:12] Gustav.Graves: What?
[15.12.2016 20:17:29] Chang: Yeah corporate dog?
[15.12.2016 20:17:44] DSE)C-26.Metroliner: We have a job to do
[15.12.2016 20:17:51] DSE)C-26.Metroliner: Can we get on with this?
[15.12.2016 20:18:10] Chang: Well i have a lot more things to ask
[15.12.2016 20:18:19] Elocin.Retnuh: You will be let go when we decide.
[15.12.2016 20:18:27] Elocin.Retnuh: If we decide to let you go.
[15.12.2016 20:18:40] Elocin.Retnuh: So I urge you to reconsider your position.
[15.12.2016 20:18:41] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: You'd have to excuse my partner here.
[15.12.2016 20:18:47] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: He is young and has no patience.
[15.12.2016 20:18:58] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: But he obviously understands that you are the one with weapons here.
[15.12.2016 20:19:04] DSE)C-26.Metroliner: I apologise, got a bit of a temper
[15.12.2016 20:19:09] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: And you are bravely pointing them at two heavily armed targets.
[15.12.2016 20:19:54] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Look, we've done nothing to you lot.
[15.12.2016 20:20:01] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: We are not fighters, we are not navy.
[15.12.2016 20:20:03] Chang: Ok. Um do you know of any recent upgrades done to this base?
[15.12.2016 20:20:10] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: We are just a couple of folks doing their job.
[15.12.2016 20:20:20] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: I.. have overheard
[15.12.2016 20:20:27] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: That a new Core was delivered to the base recently
[15.12.2016 20:20:40] Elocin.Retnuh: Oh, and we're making a progress.
[15.12.2016 20:21:00] Chang: So what level core was installed then
[15.12.2016 20:21:20] Elocin.Retnuh: You need to understand your position.
[15.12.2016 20:21:27] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: I've mostly done the New York California right up untill now.
[15.12.2016 20:21:37] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: I am a Captain of a transport ship.
[15.12.2016 20:21:45] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Not a base administrator an engineer.
[15.12.2016 20:21:55] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: I didn't even know that these cores have.. these.. "levels".. as you call it.
[15.12.2016 20:22:03] Chang: We are the ones with the guns you do not
[15.12.2016 20:22:44] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: You are just stating the obvious.
[15.12.2016 20:23:05] Chang: And you will leave when we allow you to if we decide to
[15.12.2016 20:23:07] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: We have a crew to keep alive, that is why we have answered all of your questions.
[15.12.2016 20:23:16] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: You said we'd be given free passage.
[15.12.2016 20:23:40] Chang: Well only if the information you provide is interesting
[15.12.2016 20:23:46] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Then ask.
[15.12.2016 20:23:55] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Every question so far has been answered has it not ?
[15.12.2016 20:24:32] Elocin.Retnuh: There is just one last thing.
[15.12.2016 20:24:53] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: I hope it doesn't start with "Die" And ends with "You "corporate" dogs"
[15.12.2016 20:25:06] Chang: Not in this case
[15.12.2016 20:25:12] Elocin.Retnuh: You need to convince my friend here to let you live.
[15.12.2016 20:25:20] Elocin.Retnuh: I suggest you be creative.
[15.12.2016 20:25:38] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: We have answered your questions to best of our abilities
[15.12.2016 20:25:42] Chang: What reason's do you believe that makes you worth sparing
[15.12.2016 20:26:07] Chang: Other then trying to provide a "better" liberty
[15.12.2016 20:26:07] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: I will not beg for my life, however if you already must have innocent blood on your hands, spare my crew and my partner
[15.12.2016 20:26:24] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Go ahead and slaughter me, because that is your way after all.
[15.12.2016 20:26:30] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: And you call us "dogs".
[15.12.2016 20:26:48] Chang: Your crew will find themselves on Malta if your not careful
[15.12.2016 20:27:33] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Oh please, mighty mister Hacker, oh pleaaaseeee
[15.12.2016 20:27:40] DSE)C-26.Metroliner: Time to let the crew know to call their families?
[15.12.2016 20:27:40] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Spare us, pleaaaase !
[15.12.2016 20:27:50] DSE)C-26.Metroliner: You know, just in case
[15.12.2016 20:28:04] Chang: So you cansider yourself not aware of anything your comany does?.
[15.12.2016 20:28:29] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Alright, you have decided to just make crap up as you go now ?
[15.12.2016 20:28:36] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: When did we ever tell that.
[15.12.2016 20:28:46] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: I've given you all the information I have on my PADD's
[15.12.2016 20:28:52] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: And even some I've overheard.
[15.12.2016 20:28:59] Chang: No it's how your ego portrays you
[15.12.2016 20:29:01] Elocin.Retnuh: You did not know the grand purpose of this operation nor the base.
[15.12.2016 20:29:04] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Do you think that one employee knows the business of a Sirius vide organization.
[15.12.2016 20:29:11] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: I told you the purpose.
[15.12.2016 20:29:20] DSE)C-26.Metroliner: *engaging long range transmissions*
[15.12.2016 20:29:21] Elocin.Retnuh: That makes you just a tool.
[15.12.2016 20:29:21] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: I believe all 3 of you asked me and I answered all of you.
[15.12.2016 20:29:28] DSE)C-26.Metroliner: Their families will get closer
[15.12.2016 20:29:44] Elocin.Retnuh: And tools have little worth to us.
[15.12.2016 20:29:44] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: I have told you the purpose of the base.
[15.12.2016 20:29:48] Chang: A tool to be expended
[15.12.2016 20:29:56] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: If you want to find moral comfort into slaying innocents, pick a valid reason at least.
[15.12.2016 20:30:25] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Storage of and distribution of copper ore, even remember listing outside contractors and what not.
[15.12.2016 20:30:28] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Did you forget ?
[15.12.2016 20:30:43] Chang: Well I don't think we are extracting much more
[15.12.2016 20:30:43] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: And you said if we answer the questions, we live.
[15.12.2016 20:30:49] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: We've done our part, now you do yours.
[15.12.2016 20:31:13] DSE)C-141.Starlifter: Logan: Alive Captains can maybe bring you more information in the future, dead captains don't talk.
[15.12.2016 20:31:17] Chang: Your free for now until next time we meet
[15.12.2016 20:31:26] DSE)C-26.Metroliner: Thank you Hackers
That concludes this interrogation
But from Nichols audio log's the DSE captain stated that he was there under the authorization of the Hellfire Legion talk about betrayal first they weaken liberty next they work with terrorists.
Returning froma a quaint but rather successful lockdown operation, we can honestly say that there have been some spoils made that make this worth mentioning here. With Professor Provocateur Hunter, Mr. Huracan and Mr. Chang, we first locked down the traffic towards Bretonia in Cortez, Magellan and California. Firstly, Miss Hunter happened upon a hapless chap in Cortez and promptly put forth a sizable argument in favour of parting him from his money. The next target was a BMM transport in Manchester who was rather easy to persuade. Reading activity in Alberta, we also extorted a miner bringing Platinum to God knows where. Afterwards, we turned towards Kansas, where a sizable DSE presence has been noticed in the recent time. I believe Mr. Huracan will be able to tell you more about this, because I myself have been busy following Mr. Yoshida's instructions in finding an OSI transport to separate it from some of its profits.
While not the cleanest operation in history, I am positive that the fact that we extorted four henchmen of the corporate degenerotocracy while sustaining no losses warranted it being called a success.
I would like to request to use of 4 Liberty Rogue "Sammael" Laser Cannons mounted on my newly acquired Vindicator.
Even though they are not our own technology, I have found them to work well in my hands against practice targets while doing some 'shopping'.
Please allow me access to these weapons and I will be one step closer to completing my 'Deadliness' task.
You may ask me: "But Grubozaboyschikov, why would you like to use inferior Rogue technology and not our own superior weaponry?"
There are several reasons for this:
First, it is linked to my personal abilities as a pilot towards the targets I will be shooting. The targets will be small and maneuvering fast. If I would be against a small Police patrol pilot to take out, I need the burst of many rounds over our large damage output over a few shots.
Second, I have been using Rogue technology till the moment on a usual basis: The Bacterian and the Pirate Transport. I am quite familiar with how the technology operates and even though we have a compatibility issue of -10%, I am able to counter this small loss with my experience.
Third, is surprise. You wouldn't expect a hacker with such technology and this may become an advantage. In battle, as I learned, it is the element of surprise and new technology that is more likely to win.
In conclusion, I am targeting small craft with these weapons and they have proved to be ideal for this purpose.
I would like to ask a small favor from any of you.
During my long absence, I have become quite rusty when it comes to combat.
Due to my assignment of Deadliness, I would like to ask if anyone is interested in helping me improve on my combat skills or even better to be my wingman.
If you will be my wingman, it will be even better efficient as you will also be doing your assignment for Deadliness.
If anyone is interested, you know where to find me.
I inform you that I am no longer "missing" and that I am returning to my duties, which include performing various experiments on my loyal test subjects, as well as acquiring new ones, those corporate thugs would do well I certainly believe! Time to go hunting! *laughs*
Note: If my wingmen that I had for the final 3 claims wishes to have their claim in these, they may do so.
>Infiltration
I have done two different variations of this task: My way, and a more... clear direct way.
I understand there may be some 'disputes' on how I had originally planned to complete this task, though I always come prepared.
Even now... if these two shall fail... I have a third that is pending completion.
Laws of Liberty - Gross indecency in a public place.
This includes, but is not limited to, committing a massively inconsiderate act affecting those around you, such as being nude or semi-nude, participating or instigating an act of a sexual nature with or without consent and displaying sexually explicit material in the public domain.
Laws of Liberty - Contraband possession and restricted commodities.
It is illegal to have any amount of these goods on your person at any time:
... • Artifacts (incl. Sorted Artifacts and Xeno Relics)
>Creativity
See: Mission 50: Sabotage Jumpgate Repairs
As a summary of the current situation, I am about to leave with the cargo of gases to the Gaians for study. You have my communications to see here.
Phase 3 is therefor currently still to be completed to do with research of stolen cargo and gases.
I am additionally announcing the completion of "Contribution".
This is my final task to do for promotion.
>Contriution
To make the rest of the credits, I had first needed to complete some missions in order to get sufficient cash. At the end I accumulated 3 million credits and had a total also of 61 Bounty Hunter Pilots and 16 Liberty Navy Pilots. I decided to take these low-lives to Malta and purchased some more slaves off of the Rogues. With the full capacity of slaves and prisoners cramped in the ship and secured, I traveled to Malta and sold all of them to the markets. Purchasing cardamine, I went back to sell it at Airdie Hideout.
There are two other things I would like to add to the report.
Firstly, while traveling to Malta I entered Omicron Tau and was interested to see a familiar sight. A blue cloud with lightning... similar to what I have seen in Liberty with the residue of the EMP bomb. I wonder if these two chemicals on both clouds are connected or even the same. I will add that to the research on Phase 3.
Secondly, I would like to request to be able to access two "Liberty Rogue "Belial" Laser Cannon" and one "Rogue "Tartarus" Pulse Cannon" to be added to my Vindicator.
I was quite pleased by the results of the Sammaels and I wish to increase my damage output on the Hull. To chose to get two Belials just purely for efficiency purposes rather than two more Sammaels. To compensate for sheild disruption, the Tartarus looks to be the answer for me and I believe I am able to use it properly. As an additional bonus, this gun I have heard can be used also against larger ships such as a gunboat.
I am aware that I will loose my CD option on the ship, but I am willing to test out this setup. May I please do so?
• Ms Grubozaboyschikov is promoted to Infiltrator rank. While I cannot fathom or share her latest preference in Rogue 'technology', all her outstanding requests are granted.
• Mr El Huracan is promoted to Deceiver rank. Your rally through the ranks is quite impressive as well as your dedication in destroying the corporate establishment. Congratulations.
• Mr Gustav Graves is promoted to Deceiver rank. I believe there is no need to repeat the excellent performance exhibited by this man or my conviction that he has not yet fully unleashed his true potential.
• Mr Chang successfully completed all his remaining criteria and is promoted to Deceiver rank. You have progressively improved in all fields, a true inspiration for every aspiring young member.
• Dr Julius Gorner has returned to active duty and reinstated as one of the faction's Interruptors.
Furthermore, the political situation in Malta is declining rapidly. Until further notice, all Lane Hackers are to keep a low profile and avoid getting involved into something which we cannot control of effectively influence.
That would be all. I hope everyone takes advantage of the upcoming holidays and recharge their batteries as 824 A.S. is expected to be even more volatile and violent.
