Today, I tried once more to pull a Lockdown ops, this time in California - by locking the access to New York itself. Our newest Initiate, miss Willing, assisted me in doing so. Allow me to synthetize the operation:
Miss Willing and I joined at Cochrane, in Ontario, and quickly made our way to California. As we jumped the system, we set our ops in motion straight on, with two transports falling right into our laps in a mere second - one was an Interspace lackey named Allan.Hawkes, the other one was a Bretonian flying a Shire, named Blackwings_IX. Both carried low-value cargo, and they were both persuaded to make a small donation to our cause. We also met a peculiar ship - a freelancer flying a Sutinga with Navy transponders. He claimed he was going to fix it, after he denied allegiations with the Navy. I was about to liberate it, when my scanners detected two nearby anomalies, and I let the hoodlum go, with the warning that he will be disgronified if he was caught with a Navy transponder again. We went to investigate the anomalies, to find two vessels, a Stargazer and a Griffin - unarmored, unarmed and unshielded. Being uninteresting, we resumed the operation. A short time later, we caught another prey, this time a Kusarian with GMG transponders flying a Raijin train, named Kobayashi,Akito, which was also convinced to make a small donation as well. As we were about to resume, the Spyglass Scanner alerted me of Navy lapdogs' capital vessels entering the system (as well as an anonymus tipped me off about the lapdogs coming) and we decided to pull off, and retreat to Cochrane.
I then unmoored the Cochrane.Interrogator in order to transfer several pilots from miss Willing's hold.
This would be all for now.
Salutations,
Maximillian Largo
The day's start was quite slow as i have launched from Cochrane Depot and directed my venerable Scimitar to California. It - along with Texas - was completely empty, and no luck did accompany me there.
Through the pace of it changed fast as i have jumped to New York and jumped through the intersystem Anomaly - and caught an eye of a Core pilot traversing through in the direction of Zone-21; i have managed to close in the distance and proceed with both initial and indepth scans.
It carried general transponder used by Core, and had some unidentified weapon samples that match the records of some code weapons, and a standart armorement for all snubcraft; even through loosely affiliated with corporate hoodlums of Ageira, Deep Space Engineering and Interspace Commerce along with Independent Neural Net Division - it still tried to shoot me, showing himself a properly behaving lapdog, even worser than the Navy wretches alltogether. His petty chunk of metal it called a ship, however, suffered from a malfuntion so heavily that he was barely capable of anything but shooting empty space ahead of him. I've left him to be stuck in his misery and moved along.

[12.04.2018 13:00:35] LH~Felicity.Willing: F: "What the."
[12.04.2018 13:01:42] LH~Felicity.Willing: F: "So, what is it here?..."
[12.04.2018 13:02:06] (LF)John-D: Nothing for you too worry about
[12.04.2018 13:02:34] LH~Felicity.Willing: F: "Oh, yes? I beg to differ."
[12.04.2018 13:03:12] (LF)John-D: Beg all you like but differ i'm afraid it is!!
[12.04.2018 13:03:57] LH~Felicity.Willing: F: "And how can you confirm this, huh?"
As the routine flight advanced - i have stumbled into quite a sight - Hellfire Legion wretch peacefully chatting to Naval lapdog; there's not so much difference between the two of those, i should tell.
Hellfire wretch immediately turned his attention to me, apparently holding a hope of convincing me that my choice was a gravely mistake, petty close-minded fool. I've directed my ship into the badlands, seeing the chance of properly extracting all the saved data in reaching Buffalo Base. As we've delved deeper into the Badlands - an LSF agent joined the party, and it was surprising enough to see him, along with Ageira lackey from Primary Navy standing and watching while Hellfire wretch have started to entertain himself with shooting rocks floating around in large numbebrs. I have made it safely to Buffalo, and decided to call it a day. Guncam shots for each vessel and Neural Net logs will be attached below.
Update: All of the lapdogs listed below possess standart armor upgrades and vessels fully equipped for combat.
[12.04.2018 14:22:46] LH~Felicity.Willing: F: "Mhm."
[12.04.2018 14:23:04] [LN]-Nazawo.Ayato: Well, simple question, could you betray your parents for a moral conflict?
[12.04.2018 14:23:23] [LN]-Nazawo.Ayato: Because the one that raised me was a Navy guy. That's all I know, all I grew with.
[12.04.2018 14:23:39] [LN]-Nazawo.Ayato: So yeah, it's hard to make me change my mind.
[12.04.2018 14:24:46] [HF]-Orionis: Long way from home, Hacker.
[12.04.2018 14:25:14] LH~Felicity.Willing: F: "Maybe. Still, i see no reason for you to behave the way you do."

[12.04.2018 14:27:56] [LN]-Nazawo.Ayato: Bad point. We spent ten minutes talking between reds.

[12.04.2018 14:29:10] [LN]-Nazawo.Ayato: I could say the same for you.
[12.04.2018 14:29:22] [HF]-Orionis: This is getting more petty than substantial.
[12.04.2018 14:29:29] LH~Felicity.Willing: F: "The thing is only you are wrong."

[12.04.2018 14:30:00] [LN]-Nazawo.Ayato: Well, tell me that again next time I get out of a fight only to see one of your kind jumping on me like a hyena.
[12.04.2018 14:30:06] [HF]-Orionis: You've been thrown out, same as all of us, but you're trusting the wrong people.
[12.04.2018 14:30:07] LH~Felicity.Willing: F: "What?... Are you capable of helping someone?..."
[12.04.2018 14:30:51] [HF]-Orionis: I've helped a Hacker find a new home before.
[12.04.2018 14:30:55] [HF]-Orionis: She's fine where she is now.
[12.04.2018 14:31:13] [HF]-Orionis: The Republic is rotten from the root, but the Hackers.. they're a different kind of rot.
[12.04.2018 14:31:15] [HF]-Orionis: Arguably worse.
[12.04.2018 14:31:21] LH~Felicity.Willing: F: "Let me pull out a guess - you did so with your guns."

[12.04.2018 14:31:42] [HF]-Orionis: I offered her safe-harbour, a home.
[12.04.2018 14:31:52] [HF]-Orionis: She could leave and go find herself new opportunities whenever she wanted.
[12.04.2018 14:31:54] [HF]-Orionis: She stayed.
[12.04.2018 14:32:42] LH~Felicity.Willing: F: "What is that you've told her that she would fall to your conditions?..."
[12.04.2018 14:32:46] [HF]-Orionis: Ayato..
[12.04.2018 14:33:10] [LN]-Nazawo.Ayato: Stand down LSF. It's relatively safe for now.
[12.04.2018 14:33:17] [HF]-Orionis: I'm afraid, manipulation's a Hacker speciality, Miss Willing.
[12.04.2018 14:33:20] ONS|Mason.Chandler: Relatively safe.
[12.04.2018 14:33:23] [HF]-Orionis: I'm far too direct to control people.
[12.04.2018 14:33:41] [LN]-Nazawo.Ayato: Well, no one is shooting, and no insults have been shot either, so yeah, safe.
[12.04.2018 14:33:56] ONS|Mason.Chandler: Mr. Ayato, you're not getting distracted from your service by these two dangerous individuals, are you?
[12.04.2018 14:34:00] [HF]-Orionis: He's an Agent, Ayato. That's not how they work.
[12.04.2018 14:34:08] [HF]-Orionis: They've already bought off his conscience.
[12.04.2018 14:34:13] LH~Felicity.Willing: F: "Through, i assume you have more important matters to attend. So am i."
[12.04.2018 14:34:34] [LN]-Nazawo.Ayato: And I could ask the same question for your likes handling prohibited weapons withen concern for the public safety.
[12.04.2018 14:34:48] [LN]-Nazawo.Ayato: //Without*
[12.04.2018 14:35:01] ONS|Mason.Chandler: Mr. Ayato, everytime we see a Navy soldier talking to criminals within areas like these we have to be concerned.
[12.04.2018 14:35:31] [LN]-Nazawo.Ayato: And last time I saw LSF trying to do morale to me he ended up in the Harmony side.
[12.04.2018 14:35:48] [HF]-Orionis: I can't show you why you've made a grave mistake following the Hackers unless you try listening.
[12.04.2018 14:35:55] ONS|Mason.Chandler: You don't have to adress me about LSF issues, the ONS does not work like the rest of this institution.
[12.04.2018 14:36:21] ONS|Mason.Chandler: I will watch this situation, Mr. Ayato, no matter if you like it or not.
[12.04.2018 14:36:37] [HF]-Orionis: It's not too late to be free of this.
[12.04.2018 14:36:45] [HF]-Orionis: I can give you a clean slate to do what you want with your life.
[12.04.2018 14:36:50] [HF]-Orionis: But trust me.. this isn't worth it.
[12.04.2018 14:36:55] LH~Felicity.Willing: F: "No matter if i listen or not - it is going to end in only one way. You will point your guns at me. As your kind always does
[12.04.2018 14:37:10] [LN]-Nazawo.Ayato: *Sigh* does he even listen ?
[12.04.2018 14:37:16] LH~Felicity.Willing: F: "Hence you're too short-minded to understand."
[12.04.2018 14:37:50] [HF]-Orionis: Don't do this.
[12.04.2018 14:38:12] [HF]-Orionis: I'm sorry..
[12.04.2018 14:38:14] [HF]-Orionis: I truly am.
[12.04.2018 14:38:20] [LN]-Nazawo.Ayato: Seems like Hackers are a lost cause.
[12.04.2018 14:38:58] ONS|Mason.Chandler: This Hacker is still an initiate, you can see that by inferior tactics and ship choice.
[12.04.2018 14:41:13] [HF]-Orionis: Don't let them do this to you.
On a side note - i've had an encounter with Freelancer who i've encountered along with Interruptor Maximillian Largo, and who we mistook for an Ageira lackey, have sticked to his word and indeed fixed his transponder to properly display his affiliation.
[12.04.2018 13:33:03] LH~Felicity.Willing: F: "It looks like you stick to your word."
[12.04.2018 13:33:33] Corwin.Bowman: Why would i lie anyway?
[12.04.2018 13:33:53] LH~Felicity.Willing: F: "I assume you have no reason for this."
[12.04.2018 13:34:20] LH~Felicity.Willing: F: "However, this will be remarked, Freelancer. Farewell."
The day have started at Pennsylvania gates, with me catching a Zoner transport of apparently Kusarian origin, thinking that it would be a good idea to haul Artifacts in presence of an actual Lane Hacker; sad to say, but i had to proove him wrong: through words at start, but, when it became clear this wretch is capable of anything but listen - i had to blow it up in place it stood and obliterate the cargo - shortly after the Zoner chunk of scrap crumbled - Naval Battlecruiser entered the scene; his blatant incomptenece of a general Ageira lackey allowed me to collect enough data on him before leaving the place.
[14.04.2018 07:38:22] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Cut your engines, Zoner."
[14.04.2018 07:39:00] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Should i repeat myself? Cut your engines.

Next notable encounter involved another Naval lapdog along with our Rogue ally, after i have took my Scimitar off from Buffalo base. By pure accident, i have noticed an already erupted combat and decided to support the Rogue.

As the endeavour have proceeded and i have moved to Colorado in my venerable Vindicator - there i have encountered the ALG vessel loaded with Cobalt Ore. It failed to properly respond when i have kindly offered it to stop and submit to my simple and justified demands; moreover, it responded in quite a rude form and attempted to threaten me, making his final mistake. Over the next few minute i allowed the captain to observe how Hellflurries and Nuclear mine payloads are nicely breaching through his transport hull. The fool was unavoidably removed, and a presence of Repossessor was requested, nearest one from Ledien, commanded by Miss Liang-Tan, was there quite soon. After a quick stop on Leiden to fill the rest of the cargo bay with Counterfeit Software, we have departed to the Home of honourable Blood Dragons, Kyoto base, and sucessfully delievered the repossessed cargo there, along with Counterfeit Software.
The profit was separated in half between me and Ms. Liang-Tan.
Ms. Liang-Tan have left on Kyoto for the time being, but is going to return to Liberty as soon as possible. Looks like going there got her a shot of nostalgia.

[14.04.2018 11:46:54] Death: Samuel was put out of action by K'Hara|Kha'ana (Gun).
[14.04.2018 11:47:12] LH~Felicity'Willing: Felicity: Yes. Approximately around three thousands of Cobalt Ore retrieved from an ALG vessel.
[14.04.2018 11:47:25] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "It refused to comply, and i had to enforce... harsh measures."
[14.04.2018 11:48:23] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: Cobalt Ore? That will surely fetch a good price. Sweet caught, I must say.
[14.04.2018 11:49:27] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "I believe it will. Waiting you in position. Colorado, grid square 6E, right by the Trade Lane."
[14.04.2018 11:49:40] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "For you, even..."
[14.04.2018 11:49:52] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: Got it. Shouldn't take too long until we are there.
[14.04.2018 11:50:46] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: *Sigh* "I wonder how silly should one be to prefer death over loosing a bunch of Credits..."
[14.04.2018 11:51:48] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: Many proved to be foolish enough to dare denying a good fair deal.
[14.04.2018 11:51:59] Death: Manav was put out of action by HMS-Monarch (Gun).
[14.04.2018 11:52:10] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Well, they have equally regretted their denial... just as this one."
[14.04.2018 11:52:25] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: Indeed. We'll get ready to pick it up now.
[14.04.2018 11:52:35] Death: arxontas suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[14.04.2018 11:52:45] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Enforcing formation."
[14.04.2018 11:53:04] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: If I am not mistaken, the Rogues of Buffalo pay a decent price for it.
[14.04.2018 11:53:27] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "We never know until we try and find out."
[14.04.2018 11:53:37] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Unless."
[14.04.2018 11:53:52] Death: Samuel was put out of action by 'Night' (Gun).
[14.04.2018 11:53:59] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: Hm. Kyoto.. eh, whatever.
[14.04.2018 11:54:16] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: Buffalo is it, unless you have another idea.
[14.04.2018 11:54:33] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Would possibly be a safer choice, considering the lawfuls activity."
[14.04.2018 11:55:05] Death: Samuel was put out of action by 'Night' (Gun).
[14.04.2018 11:55:28] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "I believe we should move to Kyoto. Even through it will take slightly longer to ge there..."
[14.04.2018 11:56:19] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: We could. That's fine by me.
[14.04.2018 11:56:33] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Let's take it to Kyoto, then."
[14.04.2018 11:56:47] Death: Poseidon suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[14.04.2018 11:57:00] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: Returning there, hm, I already want to apologize in case of me becoming nostalgic.
[14.04.2018 11:58:42] Death: John.Silverstone suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[14.04.2018 11:58:51] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "It will be fine. I see no issue in being nostalgic about your Homeland, Ms. Liang-Tan."
[14.04.2018 12:00:47] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: I have three homes, so to say. Bretonia, as my birthplace, Kusari as the place I grew up at, Liberty as my new home.
[14.04.2018 12:01:22] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "You sure have plenty of stories to tell."
[14.04.2018 12:02:18] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: More or less, atleast I dare to say that I know most about the Blood Dragon's way of life within the Inner Circle.
[14.04.2018 12:03:01] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "I will sure make you to share some of it with me at some point."
[14.04.2018 12:03:40] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: Fine by me.
[14.04.2018 12:03:57] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "The drinks, the snacks and the place are on me."
[14.04.2018 12:04:11] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: In this case we have a deal!
[14.04.2018 12:04:48] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Great. Later today, when i deal with all the paperwork material i have gathered over the course of the day?..."
[14.04.2018 12:05:26] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: That's alright for me. Have a rather small thing to deal with today myself but it should be okay.
[14.04.2018 12:05:56] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Alright. Shall we meet aboard Mactan or Airdie, then?..."
[14.04.2018 12:06:03] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: Mmh. When we are already here, let me get the rest of the cargo hold stuffed with other things the Dragons can need.
[14.04.2018 12:06:16] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: Mactan would be prefered.
[14.04.2018 12:06:28] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Alright. Mactan it is, then."
[14.04.2018 12:07:23] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "God bless Aspis..."
[14.04.2018 12:08:12] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: It's a fine vessel.
[14.04.2018 12:08:44] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "I have no doubts. Maybe, one day - i will obtain one."
[14.04.2018 12:09:14] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: That would be something, yeah.
[14.04.2018 12:10:08] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "But, for the nice headstart - i will grab the Border Worlds Transport. Sturdy and reliable, while still having a-
[14.04.2018 12:10:13] LH~Felicity'Willing: -suitable cargo hold."
[14.04.2018 12:10:52] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: I will keep relying on small agile freighters or a small transport in the future. I prefer high risk routes somehow.
[14.04.2018 12:12:00] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Maybe you lack that feeling of adrenaline striking through your blood in daily activities..."
[14.04.2018 12:12:51] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: You heard of Nansei, right? When you were voluntarily part of a raid group against this complex once...
[14.04.2018 12:13:06] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: I really must need that kick of adrenaline.
[14.04.2018 12:14:31] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Nansei? Only blank rumors. Research comples in Kusari, superiorly protected. Right?"
[14.04.2018 12:15:02] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: Correct. Antimatter storages are part of it.
[14.04.2018 12:15:39] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Sounds like they prefer to land their asses on something explosive."
[14.04.2018 12:16:26] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: It's also the reason why it was a raiding target. Dangerous for sure.
[14.04.2018 12:16:40] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: Imagine what a perfect hit could do to anything around Nansei..
[14.04.2018 12:17:07] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Anything around Nansei would be vaporised. Suicide mission."
[14.04.2018 12:17:22] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: Still I joined it.
[14.04.2018 12:17:34] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: Obviously it wasn't a real success.
[14.04.2018 12:17:56] Base Trade Depot destroyed
[14.04.2018 12:17:58] Death: Ol'.Faithful suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[14.04.2018 12:18:44] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "The station still stands, sadly, and you are gladly still among us."
[14.04.2018 12:19:01] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: Shortly after this I started to think about a lot of different things.. heh, and in the end I decided to go for a new
[14.04.2018 12:19:10] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: perspective, which I found among the Inner Circle.
[14.04.2018 12:19:24] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: I am glad we failed back then at Nansei.
[14.04.2018 12:19:46] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Have you been anything else back then? A Dragon, i might assume?"
[14.04.2018 12:20:33] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Dragons are honourable and respectful, however, their honour leads them to death too often."
[14.04.2018 12:21:11] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: It was never easy being with the Dragons. While my mother is from Kusari.. I don't look like a Kusarian at all.
[14.04.2018 12:21:36] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: They knew I was an outsider, they honored my belief in the cause but.. the Bretonian background was never -
[14.04.2018 12:21:39] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: forgotten by them.
[14.04.2018 12:22:04] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "They are people of traditional ways, you can't really blame them for that."
[14.04.2018 12:22:27] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: I know, I know. Oh well.
[14.04.2018 12:22:33] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: Enough of me, I guess.
[14.04.2018 12:22:54] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Sorry if is said something disturbing, Ms. Liang-Tan."
[14.04.2018 12:23:08] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: You did not, I just get lost in memories otherwise.
[14.04.2018 12:23:19] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: How did you find your way to us?
[14.04.2018 12:23:45] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "That's much more simple story than yours, through, and barely as exciting."
[14.04.2018 12:24:12] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: Hm. I bet it is still worth listening to it.
[14.04.2018 12:24:25] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "I've been a 'hacker' as long as i remember myself. Actually, it was my way of survival while i was in orphanage on-
[14.04.2018 12:24:28] LH~Felicity'Willing: -Manhattan."
[14.04.2018 12:25:00] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: Ohh. I see. Starting at a young age, never bad.
[14.04.2018 12:25:01] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Not the real Lane Hacker, of course, but the kind of person who is aware of how do all those hi-tech things work."
[14.04.2018 12:25:29] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "The software, the hardware... been taking orders from people, and they were paying generously for it."
[14.04.2018 12:25:44] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Ended up catching the eye of Ageira."
[14.04.2018 12:25:59] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: Hmmh. Overstepping their borders, I assume.
[14.04.2018 12:26:35] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Almost. They employed me. Was a case about Pueblo inner network."
[14.04.2018 12:26:43] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: Interesting.
[14.04.2018 12:26:55] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: Uh, just before you continue.
[14.04.2018 12:26:57] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "They've had several people working on it's improvement, including me."
[14.04.2018 12:27:03] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Yes?"
[14.04.2018 12:27:23] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: You made a great caught, I have to repeat it. That were 25 million credits in total just now.
[14.04.2018 12:27:45] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Spare 50% of this for yourself."
[14.04.2018 12:28:29] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: Most generous. I can put it to good use. Transfering your part now.
[14.04.2018 12:29:05] You have received 13.000.000 credits from LH~Leiden.Repossessor
[14.04.2018 12:29:18] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: That does the job, I hope.
[14.04.2018 12:29:21] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Well, be both know i would not be able to move all of it around without your help."
[14.04.2018 12:29:32] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "It does, indeed."
[14.04.2018 12:29:34] LH~Leiden.Repossessor: Sun: True that and it was my pleasure to help you.
[14.04.2018 12:29:52] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "As well as my pleasure to have your acquitance."
And the last encounter to be mentioned - a sight of Gallic Dreadnough in Magellan, that's captain was sloppy enough to allow me to collect all the necessary intel and safely depart.
[14.04.2018 05:42:57] RNS-Latouche.Treville: Bonjour
[14.04.2018 05:43:10] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Well, hello there, Mr. Gaul."
[14.04.2018 05:43:21] RNS-Latouche.Treville: Lost?
[14.04.2018 05:43:23] LH~Jack.Spang: Yes I'm thinking that I may need help with a distraction..unless I head to a warzone
[14.04.2018 05:43:35] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "It's more like you are lost."
[14.04.2018 05:44:22] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "We are observing a huge Gallic warship in Magellan. Tread with cautiousness."
[14.04.2018 05:44:25] RNS-Latouche.Treville: E: Stay clear of Betheny and we sould be fine
[14.04.2018 05:44:54] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "That petty chunk of scrap is out of my interest zone."
[14.04.2018 05:45:27] RNS-Latouche.Treville: E: What is your interest?
[14.04.2018 05:45:39] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Why would i let you know, through?..."
[14.04.2018 05:45:46] LH~Jack.Spang: I have just left Magellen
[14.04.2018 05:46:46] LH~Jack.Spang: Vespucci has a huge warship too
[14.04.2018 05:46:58] RNS-Latouche.Treville: E: For your sake, I hope our interest dont conflict
On a side note, i should also mention the yesterday's interdiction of Deep Space Engineering wretch assuming he may slip past my Scimitar sitting right next to him. When it became obvious to him that no hoodlum is to slip past a true Hacker - his engines was shut down, and he turned out to be pretty cooperative, providing me with a sufficient donation of 6.000.000 S.C. for his amount of Gold Ore carried in his cargo hold.
The credits have been wired through direct exchange, avoiding the usage of Neural Net, sadly, no guncam shot of transaction was taken.
[13.04.2018 06:18:09] LH~Felicity.Willing: F: "Would you be so kind to cut your engines, hoodlum?"
[13.04.2018 06:18:39] LH~Felicity.Willing: F: "Hm? No?..."
[13.04.2018 06:19:06] =DSE-Enterprise: what you want Hacker?
[13.04.2018 06:19:09] LH~Felicity.Willing: F: "So, where you are heading?..."
[13.04.2018 06:19:15] =DSE-Enterprise: Dallas
[13.04.2018 06:19:58] LH~Felicity.Willing: F: "And that's quite a precious cargo you have here. I gues you would not mind a donation towards Lane Hackers."
[13.04.2018 06:20:18] =DSE-Enterprise: of course... 2 million coming your way
[13.04.2018 06:20:38] LH~Felicity.Willing: F: "It's not actually enough. Considering the cargo you are carrying..."
[13.04.2018 06:20:51] =DSE-Enterprise: its a smaller load than usual.
[13.04.2018 06:20:53] LH~Felicity.Willing: F: "It will be 5.992.500 S.C."
[13.04.2018 06:21:10] =DSE-Enterprise: shall we agree 3500?
[13.04.2018 06:21:30] LH~Felicity.Willing: F: "I have stated my demand. Now wire the credits."
[13.04.2018 06:22:23] LH~Felicity.Willing: F: "You now may proceed."
I herebly request The Professorship to count the provided extortions data towards the fulfilling of Determination trait.
As Ms. Willing mentioned, I have helped her this day picking up almost 3000 standard units of Cobalt Ore and we transported it to Kyoto Base in Chugoku. Upon my return, I have decided to remain productive and search for targets of exortion.
While I have not find any suitable targets within the time frame I was around, I witnessed movements of the Liberty Navy just to shortly run into our allies from the Battlegroup Harmony. It did not take long until we seperated one of the Navy Warships from the others and with the arrival of the SNS-Harmony start a battle. Despite the Liberty Navy's retreat to Planet Houston Orbit, they did not manage to withstand our joint forces for long and with the exception of one Warship were destroyed. I have to admit, I still favor the reliable Waran over our Transgressor in situations like this.
During this battle I took direct involvement in the destruction of the LNS-Ohama and the LNS-New.Wales, while landing the final blow on the New Wales. That is pretty much everything for now.
A sufficient exposure of our operations allows us to re-initiate Stealth Operations Protocol that will remain in force until end of June 825 A.S. All instructions concerning the scrambling of your personal transponder are to be found in the briefings section. All Hackers are required to keep their profile updated for all stealth and coded ships. It is encouraged to keep these entries even during logged period in future.
As part of routine data gathering for addition to the Spyglass network I was contacted by fellow Lane Hacker pilots to engage in a lock-down of Shikoku. I had just arrived at my position when that operation was terminated and the theatre of operations was switched to Colorado.
Just as I antered the system I encountered as DSE vessel, The_RENEGADE_Trader.
They were kind enough to stop and enter into conversation, not doubt helped when LH~Felicity'Willing: and LH~Mr.Blackfriar popped into the system next to the gate.
As it happened during the initial conversation another ship appeared, White.Pearls, the recently arrived LH~ ships went to deal with this ship.
Whilst we often aim for certain $ per cargo unit I opted to let the pilot suggest what they thought may be a fair price to allow a continuation of their business. As it happens it was a very satisfactory offer yielding a healthy sum
Just after wishing this pilot good day I started towards my collegues and the White.Pearl. However at that point two hostile warships appeared, the LH@ ordered us to disperse so I duly complied.
Largo here. Another day, another lockdown. Details below.
Three were the operatives involved: Interruptor Felicity Willing, Infiltrator Blackfriar -on the Cochrane.Interceptor- and myself.
I chose to lead my team in Colorado, with the objective of blocking the access ways to Kusari. Blackfriar took the Kepler jumpgate, Willing took the Galileo jumpgate, while I directed my ship to the intended extraction point - the Galileo Jumphole anomaly.
The lockdown operation commenced straight on as we were all in position. On the way I hired a Rogue bomber, designation BloodMoney, in the role of watching over the New York jump gate in case that nosey weasels would come to poke their stinky noses. After a while without targets approaching, I took the place of Blackfriar at the Kepler jump gate as I asked him to relocate himself to the New York jump gate to check on our Rogue friend, given he didn't answer my sit rep. Lady Luck smiled on us, as mr.Blackfriar managed to halt and extort a GMG miner full to the brim with Helium.
With the traffic in the system lowering down, I decided to call off the lockdown operation, deeming it a success. Miss Willing and I relocated to Leiden, while mr.Blackfriar should be on Cochrane, where he relocated the Cochrane.Interceptor.
This is all for now.
Salutations,
Maximillian Largo
I would like to inform everybody about promotion of Mr Maximillian Largo to the rank of Deceiver. Mr Maximillian Largo while pursuing his career has showed a persistence and dedication worthy of a recognition. The Professorship believes that if this strong will to learn, adapt and improve is maintained, Mr Largo will become a renowned addition to The Inner Circle.
After returning with some 150 "passengers" to drop off for interrogation, I felt the need for speed so jumped into my Scimitar equipped with stealth transponder.
Whilst getting the transport piloting out of my system I decided to scout around and see if I could gather any data for addition to the Spyglass network. In Kepler I encountered two pilots hauling rice, [K.E.V.]Freeflight a Kishiro vessel and DeWolf a DSE transport, both have now been entered into the network.
They were also kind enough to stop when asked, and discretion being the better part of valour, as I was in a LF, I accepted a modest contribution from both of them equal to $1 million.
There's actually not much to report as the recent days have been quite slow, to say the least. And they still had multiple notable encounters.
First involved an Interspace wretch carrying around a full load of Platinum Ore and considering it as a good idea to try and slip through Interruptor accompanied with the actual Professor. Vessel was processed appropriately.
[15.04.2018 07:48:39] Nicole.Hunter: Stay
[15.04.2018 07:48:52] Nicole.Hunter: We have a nice thing here.
[15.04.2018 07:48:58] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Hold it, please."
[15.04.2018 07:49:06] Nicole.Hunter: An Interscape vessel with a pretty cargo.
[15.04.2018 07:49:13] TS-Zergrush: Greetings, young hackers.
[15.04.2018 07:49:24] Nicole.Hunter: *smiles*
[15.04.2018 07:49:32] TS-Zergrush: How is it going?
[15.04.2018 07:49:34] Nicole.Hunter: Ms Willing, please, he is all yours.
[15.04.2018 07:49:48] TS-Zergrush: She, I may correct.
[15.04.2018 07:49:50] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Good day to you as well, hoodlum."
[15.04.2018 07:49:56] CONSOLE: Notice to Space Farers : Long range probes indicates approaching ION storms in 10 minutes.
[15.04.2018 07:50:07] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Just what do you think you're doing with all this ore here?"
[15.04.2018 07:50:21] Death: Reiss.Fischer suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[15.04.2018 07:50:32] Nicole.Hunter: Ion storms inbound. We have to reach the base. I suggest you cut it short, Ms Willing.
[15.04.2018 07:50:35] TS-Zergrush: Well, gotta supply some stations. Everyone needs to do something for living.
[15.04.2018 07:50:57] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Well, you may proceed after a considerable donation to the cause of Lane Hackers."
[15.04.2018 07:51:22] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Given the circumstances - it would be exactly 7.500.000 Sirius Credits."
[15.04.2018 07:51:26] TS-Zergrush: Well, sure. The Hackers are known for holding their words.
[15.04.2018 07:51:31] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Please, wire the credits immedieately."
[15.04.2018 07:51:47] TS-Zergrush: Two who of you two, fellow hackers?
[15.04.2018 07:51:53] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "To me." [15.04.2018 07:52:09] You have received 7.500.000 credits from TS-Zergrush
[15.04.2018 07:52:20] LH~Felicity'Willing: F: "Donation received. You may now proceed."

As soon as i have moved to Texas later on today - i have received a data of Harmony vessel all on it's own with a couple of apparently heavier capital ships belonging to Ageira lackeys. I have lended our allies a hand, identifying one of them and taking a part in their mercilessobliteration.

[18.04.2018 10:01:11] H|-SNS-Shamrock.Bay: Hunter: Aye. That she will.
The minor successes like covering the flaws of Mactan Network on intel data about Ageira lackeys and other corporate wretches and my honest desire of the encounters composed in this report to be counted towards the appropriate traits are unnecessary.
