Special Assignment #825-002 Innovation
Proposal for Implication of New Product: Personal Heavy Body Armour
Head-up displays inside the helmet include the Marine’s vital signs and those of his squad. They also link to the camera mounted above the barrel of the chosen weapon, ensuring unerring accuracy.
Auto-reactive shoulder pads. Shaped to deflect or absorb incoming fire, they also feature a Marine’s squad insignia.
The helmet’s photolenses react to ambient light levels, protecting the wearer’s eyes from intense light levels. They also enable him to see in infrared and ultraviolet.
Vox unit and rebreather. Although his helmet is designed to filter out the worst pollutants before they get to the wearer. In old concept designs, the front of the helmet was designed to lift up like the visor of a medieval helmet, but the design was not air-tight and never made it into manufacture.
The molecular bonding studs on this shoulder pad are a hang-over from the days of when personal armour was in short supply. They hold an extra layer of armour to the shoulder pad facing the enemy. The placement of the studs means that the squad insignia is moved to the opposite pauldron.
Mk. VI power armour featured dual technology circuits, one set inside the torso armour, the other mounted on the outside in armoured cabling. Nutrient dispensers, drug injectors and bodily waste filters are also housed inside the armour’s torso.
Backpack exhaust vents to prevent overheating.
Heavy armour requires a great deal of power and so houses a small nuclear reactor in its backpack, which can sustain the armour’s power levels indefinitely. Without it the neural fibres in the suit would fail, leaving the wearer encumbered by the weight of his armour.
Stabiliser jets for use in zero-gravity situations.
Electronic sealant strips and flexible joints ensure that heavy armour is fully enclosed for use in hazardous environments and even in the vacuum of space.
Thank you for taking the time to go over my proposals for the upgrades to the Heavy Personal Armour

Yesterday I met a strange corsair on my way from Houston back to Pueblo. Since the area was secured
by a navy gunboat I took the chance for a chat with him. It was Lucas Gonzalez from a group who call
themselves the Apostatas. Here is the logfile:
[26.06.2018 18:44:54] Ageira~Alan.Pace: Good evening

[26.06.2018 18:46:17] Ageira~Alan.Pace: Good evening
[26.06.2018 18:46:28] ApS|Estancamiento: May I approach ?
[26.06.2018 18:46:36] Ageira~Alan.Pace: a corsair?
[26.06.2018 18:46:39] ApS|Estancamiento: Weapon systems deactivated, of course.
[26.06.2018 18:46:53] ApS|Estancamiento: Hmm.. Si. A Corsair, but not an evil one.
[26.06.2018 18:47:24] ApS|Estancamiento: And you are ?
[26.06.2018 18:47:55] LN|Freddy.Burtonns: I excort you
[26.06.2018 18:47:58] Ageira~Alan.Pace: Alan Pace from Ageira Innovations
[26.06.2018 18:48:09] ApS|Estancamiento: Pleasure to meet you, Amigo.
[26.06.2018 18:48:22] ApS|Estancamiento: Now, shall I approach and take a closer look at both of your ships ?
[26.06.2018 18:48:31] LN|Freddy.Burtonns: I Fred.Burtonns
[26.06.2018 18:48:35] Ageira~Alan.Pace: What is a corsair doing here
[26.06.2018 18:48:45] ApS|Estancamiento: My mission is to establish contact with the Libertonians.
[26.06.2018 18:48:49] Ageira~Alan.Pace: I only meet them in omega 3
[26.06.2018 18:49:00] ApS|Estancamiento: Well, it is a little more complicated than that, but this is the short version.
[26.06.2018 18:49:25] Ageira~Alan.Pace: ahh, the officer is coming
[26.06.2018 18:49:47] Sgt.Stedenko: Hmmm, something wrong?
[26.06.2018 18:50:06] Rules Tip: Do not run Freelancer at a framerate above 155fps - for more information on this, please visit our forums @ Discoverygc.com.
[26.06.2018 18:50:06] Ageira~Alan.Pace: well here is a corsair
[26.06.2018 18:50:07] ApS|Estancamiento: What you could see me as is basically someone who is checking if the House of Liberty is a House which'd be interested in
[26.06.2018 18:50:18] Sgt.Stedenko: Yes what about the corsair?
[26.06.2018 18:50:30] ApS|Estancamiento: Assisting the Apostatas, who have been split from the rest of the Crosairs.
[26.06.2018 18:50:35] Sgt.Stedenko: He has not broken any laws that i have seen.
[26.06.2018 18:50:54] Sgt.Stedenko: The affairs of the Omicrons are really none of my concern.
[26.06.2018 18:50:58] ApS|Estancamiento: As mentioned Amigos, I did not come so far out to attack people.
[26.06.2018 18:51:19] Sgt.Stedenko: Last i knew we were not at war with corsairs.
[26.06.2018 18:51:36] LN|Freddy.Burtonns: Yes
[26.06.2018 18:51:43] Sgt.Stedenko: So as long as they behave themselves i see no problems.
[26.06.2018 18:52:06] Ageira~Alan.Pace: they sometimes attack us
[26.06.2018 18:52:13] Sgt.Stedenko: Has he pirated you, or threatend you?
[26.06.2018 18:52:25] ApS|Estancamiento: "They" as in the Corsairs who belong to the Council of the Elderty
[26.06.2018 18:52:26] Ageira~Alan.Pace: but most of the times they pnly want some rum
[26.06.2018 18:52:45] ApS|Estancamiento: The Apostatas, an Organisation which I belong to, has no such intentions Mister Pace.
[26.06.2018 18:53:07] Sgt.Stedenko: Hmm well if any corsairs who try and pirate you show up, feel free to send me a transmission
[26.06.2018 18:53:42] Sgt.Stedenko: Other than that, this one's name has not shown up on anything for breaking any laws.
[26.06.2018 18:53:44] Ageira~Alan.Pace: I will do seargent
[26.06.2018 18:53:54] ApS|Estancamiento: So Mister Pace, can you tell me more about Ageira ?
[26.06.2018 18:54:32] Ageira~Alan.Pace: Well, we are manataining the trade lanes
[26.06.2018 18:54:42] Ageira~Alan.Pace: docking rings and jump gates
[26.06.2018 18:54:45] ApS|Estancamiento: Siriuswide ?
[26.06.2018 18:54:53] Ageira~Alan.Pace: almost
[26.06.2018 18:55:01] ApS|Estancamiento: With the exception of ?
[26.06.2018 18:55:13] Ageira~Alan.Pace: I dont count the gauls to sirius
[26.06.2018 18:55:38] ApS|Estancamiento: Do the Gallians have different Jumpgates and Lanes then ?
[26.06.2018 18:56:07] Natasha.Sexymilian: Greetings
[26.06.2018 18:56:08] Ageira~Alan.Pace: yes. I saw them in Rishiri
[26.06.2018 18:56:08] Sgt.Stedenko: From the guncams i have seen from there, yes their lanes are quite different.
[26.06.2018 18:56:20] Ageira~Alan.Pace: Not as good as ours
[26.06.2018 18:56:24] Sgt.Stedenko: Greetings.
[26.06.2018 18:56:27] ApS|Estancamiento: Hola.
[26.06.2018 18:56:32] /2
[26.06.2018 18:56:32] Ageira~Alan.Pace: Good evening
[26.06.2018 18:56:46] ApS|Estancamiento: So you could technically build Lanes and Jump-Gates if the payment is right, Mister Pace ?
[26.06.2018 18:57:03] Ageira~Alan.Pace: Not me alone
[26.06.2018 18:57:14] ApS|Estancamiento: You and Ageira of course.
[26.06.2018 18:57:18] Ageira~Alan.Pace: these are huge projects
[26.06.2018 18:57:29] Ageira~Alan.Pace: and DSE and USI
[26.06.2018 18:57:29] Sgt.Stedenko: Very expensive work as well.
[26.06.2018 18:57:43] ApS|Estancamiento: I can imagine.
[26.06.2018 18:57:49] ApS|Estancamiento: And how long does it take to construct such a Lane ?
[26.06.2018 18:58:27] Ageira~Alan.Pace: Depends on the payment and how far the site is from Pueblo station
[26.06.2018 18:58:46] ApS|Estancamiento: Let's say Omicron Gamma for example
[26.06.2018 18:59:03] Natasha.Sexymilian: Well sergean Stedenko,, how are you this fine evening??
[26.06.2018 18:59:11] Ageira~Alan.Pace: We are bulding in Omega 3 for years now
[26.06.2018 18:59:29] Sgt.Stedenko: Ah not too bad, dropped some filthy criminals off at the prison not long ago.
[26.06.2018 18:59:41] ApS|Estancamiento: And how about the Lane in this system ?
[26.06.2018 18:59:43] Natasha.Sexymilian: Wow, 50 of them???
[26.06.2018 18:59:55] Natasha.Sexymilian: What did you do, kill a bus of them " giggles"
[26.06.2018 18:59:57] Sgt.Stedenko: Filthy, not fifty.
[26.06.2018 19:00:06] Natasha.Sexymilian: Oooo
[26.06.2018 19:00:13] Natasha.Sexymilian: Thatsa difrent story
[26.06.2018 19:00:14] ApS|Estancamiento: *He giggles*
[26.06.2018 19:00:18] Sgt.Stedenko: *Smacks radio* This thing acting up again?
[26.06.2018 19:00:24] Ageira~Alan.Pace: well , the lanes here are old
[26.06.2018 19:00:27] Death: Horus|TdV was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[26.06.2018 19:00:48] Natasha.Sexymilian: Ye pirates can be a problem
[26.06.2018 19:00:59] Natasha.Sexymilian: Although i have no problems with them
[26.06.2018 19:01:07] Ageira~Alan.Pace: I dont know how long that took to builr them
[26.06.2018 19:01:16] Sgt.Stedenko: Ah yes, i didn't even collect them. Mr. Pace here turned them in to me.
[26.06.2018 19:01:25] ApS|Estancamiento: Mister Pace, is your organisation interested in profits only ?
[26.06.2018 19:01:27] Ageira~Alan.Pace: But they need maintainace all the time
[26.06.2018 19:01:53] Ageira~Alan.Pace: That depends
[26.06.2018 19:02:03] ApS|Estancamiento: What does it depend on, Amigo ?
[26.06.2018 19:02:46] Ageira~Alan.Pace: sometimes we dont care so much for profit when our precious objects are in danger
[26.06.2018 19:02:59] ApS|Estancamiento: Mister Pace, I have to ask.
[26.06.2018 19:03:00] Ageira~Alan.Pace: then we just keep things running
[26.06.2018 19:03:21] ApS|Estancamiento: Would Ageira be interested in assisting a part of the Corsairs, that was forced to split from the Council of the Elderty ?
[26.06.2018 19:04:19] Ageira~Alan.Pace: See, I'm just a trucker0
[26.06.2018 19:04:44] Ageira~Alan.Pace: If you want to talk about these things
[26.06.2018 19:05:02] Ageira~Alan.Pace: contact our CEO John White
[26.06.2018 19:05:16] ApS|Estancamiento: Si. Mister Pace, would you put in a good word for us then ?
[26.06.2018 19:05:39] Ageira~Alan.Pace: I saw you the first time
[26.06.2018 19:05:47] ApS|Estancamiento: I understand.
[26.06.2018 19:06:00] ApS|Estancamiento: So Mister Pace, what would be required of the Apostatas to show our good will ?
[26.06.2018 19:06:01] Ageira~Alan.Pace: that's not enough for a good work
[26.06.2018 19:06:39] Ageira~Alan.Pace: Are you hostile to the other cosairs?
[26.06.2018 19:06:51] ApS|Estancamiento: Not Hostile yet.
[26.06.2018 19:07:04] ApS|Estancamiento: But we are not allowed to enter the Omicron Gamma system anymore, or we will be shot on sight.
[26.06.2018 19:07:27] ApS|Estancamiento: Currently, we are under a cease-Fire with the Corsairs that work for the Council of the Elderty.
[26.06.2018 19:08:00] Ageira~Alan.Pace: If you could secure omega 3 when we are operating there
[26.06.2018 19:08:10] Ageira~Alan.Pace: that would be a thing
[26.06.2018 19:08:24] Natasha.Sexymilian: So anyway, anyone here got any drinks, they dont have to be alcohol
[26.06.2018 19:08:40] Ageira~Alan.Pace: I got all you want
[26.06.2018 19:08:41] ApS|Estancamiento: That's very interesting. I will have to talk with our High Command about that
[26.06.2018 19:09:02] Ageira~Alan.Pace: a beer, miss?
[26.06.2018 19:09:25] ApS|Estancamiento: Anyways, Mister Pace, would it be okay if I mention our talk when I contact Ageira ?
[26.06.2018 19:09:43] Ageira~Alan.Pace: Yes, you can do that
[26.06.2018 19:09:54] ApS|Estancamiento: That would be all for me for today then, Amigo.
[26.06.2018 19:10:12] ApS|Estancamiento: Thank you for your time and Intel, and thank you to the Navy for securing this place while we talk. Of course the Police,too.
[26.06.2018 19:10:19] Ageira~Alan.Pace: BTW, what*s your name?
[26.06.2018 19:10:24] Rules Tip: Pirates can issue only one cargo or monetary demand per encounter. Telling the trader to stop is not a demand, however, if they ignore the request, they can be shot down without issuing further demands.
[26.06.2018 19:10:26] ApS|Estancamiento: My Name is Lucas Gonzalez
[26.06.2018 19:10:39] Death: Pure.Intentions was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[26.06.2018 19:10:59] ApS|Estancamiento: Until next time then, Mister Pace.
[26.06.2018 19:11:01] Ageira~Alan.Pace: Alright, Mr. Gonzalez, see you
[26.06.2018 19:11:05] ApS|Estancamiento: I am sure we will see each other again
We have secured law legislatures to fully restrict Ageira White Boxes in major Sirius houses and as such, protocol for repossessing our proprietary product has been expanded beyond Liberty borders. Therefore, Ageira Innovations employees are authorized to confiscate any Ageira White Boxes (and Counterfeit Software while we are at it) from vessels not belonging to Ageira, DSE or Universal anywhere in Sirius. While discretion is advised, we are fully committed to defending the monopoly we established over the centuries with deadly force if necessary.
New quarter starts therefore new challenges await. We have started progress towards further enhancing security in Pueblo Station to make additional changes to how we handle automatic cargo distribution. It is no secret that not all automatic features work as expected and as such we are reviewing and dedicating our efforts towards perfecting it.
Secondly, we have started inquiries about upgrading the powercore, enhancing the armor and expanding the cargo of our transport of choice - Bison. I hope that we can find cutting edge technological advancements to increase the power recuperation so that it can sustain longer firepower to deter any ill-thinking criminal. Enhancing the armor and hull would serve as increased protection against said criminals as well as protection from the harsh environments in Sirius. And expanding the cargo hold would lead to increased efficiency of our transportation which in the end will yield everyone a bigger paycheck.
Finally, I wish to announce that for this quarter, Ageira Innovations is offering its employees a bonus for reporting your endeavors in exporting Ageira's products (Ageira White Boxes, Light Arms and Superconductors). Include your timestamped cargo manifest (if flying Bison for a 30% income bonus) or your convoy (if escorting for matching the income of one Bison) when leaving Pueblo Station or Detroit Munitions and another one when arriving at destination.
I supplied our stations in Liberty with Industrial Materials and
finished the mission: Industrialization
Import or escort 10 shipments of Industrial Materials to our stations.

Yesterday I was with the Mach on the way to Isle of Skye. When a police
commissioner stopped me in California in front of Planet LA. He demanded
the criminals wich I had aboard. I transfered all but 2 lane hacker affiliates,
which I captured for interrogation at Pueblo. This was the conversation:
[15.12.2018 20:33:50] LNS-Currahee: Robert: Hail.
[15.12.2018 20:33:54] Ageira~Mach: Pace: Good evening
[15.12.2018 20:34:39] LNS-Currahee: Robert: Mister... Would you submit to a cargo scan?
[15.12.2018 20:34:49] Ageira~Mach: Pace: ok
[15.12.2018 20:35:17] LNS-Currahee: Robert: May I request you to eject the Lane Hacker affiliates and Liberty Rogue pilots, please?
[15.12.2018 20:35:31] Ageira~Mach: Why?
[15.12.2018 20:35:38] Ageira~Mach: Pace: Good evening
[15.12.2018 20:35:53] LNS-Currahee: Roberts: Those are criminal pilots and you are in a civilian ship. This is highly irregular.
[15.12.2018 20:36:02] Ageira~Mach: It is not
[15.12.2018 20:36:10] LNS-Currahee: Roberts: It's not?
[15.12.2018 20:36:15] Ageira~Mach: I cought the lane hackers at Pueblo
[15.12.2018 20:36:25] Ageira~Mach: No, it is not
[15.12.2018 20:36:27] LNS-Currahee: Roberts: Forgive me, as the LPI I am doing my job sir.
[15.12.2018 20:36:40] Ageira~Mach: But I can give you the Rogues
[15.12.2018 20:36:51] LNS-Currahee: Roberts: Please relieve the hostages, to be sent to Huntsville.
[15.12.2018 20:37:06] Ageira~Mach: They are no hostages
[15.12.2018 20:37:18] LNS-Currahee: Robert: Sir, please do not make it harder for the officers.
[15.12.2018 20:37:21] Ageira~Mach: We will interview the lane hackers at Pueblo
[15.12.2018 20:37:28] LNS-Currahee: Robert: I cannot allow that.
[15.12.2018 20:37:45] LNS-Currahee: Robert: The Hacker affiliates and the Rogues are to be given.
[15.12.2018 20:37:49] Ageira~Mach: Would you take the trade request?
[15.12.2018 20:38:10] LNS-Currahee: Sir the affiliates, hand them over too.
[15.12.2018 20:38:34] LNS-Currahee: Robert: The lane hackers, I was saying.
[15.12.2018 20:38:50] Ageira~Mach: Well, who do you think you are, Sir
[15.12.2018 20:38:52] Ageira~Mach: ?
[15.12.2018 20:39:01] Ageira~Mach: I hold them
[15.12.2018 20:39:02] LNS-Currahee: Robert: An officer of the LPI, I will request once again.
[15.12.2018 20:39:20] Ageira~Mach: Pace: And I will still say no
[15.12.2018 20:39:22] LNS-Currahee: Robert: Warning fire initiated.
[15.12.2018 20:39:32] Ageira~Mach: Are you crazy?
[15.12.2018 20:39:42] LNS-Currahee: Robert: Do not make this harder for me, civilian!
[15.12.2018 20:39:54] Ageira~Mach: I will put the hackers into prison
[15.12.2018 20:40:05] Ageira~Mach: after we interviewed them
[15.12.2018 20:40:07] LNS-Currahee: Robert: We ran out of time, hand them over, now!
[15.12.2018 20:40:33] Ageira~Mach: You are attacking me?
[15.12.2018 20:40:42] LNS-Currahee: Robert: The affiliates.
[15.12.2018 20:40:46] LNS-Currahee: Robert: Now.
[15.12.2018 20:41:09] Ageira~Mach: Still no, I will report you
[15.12.2018 20:41:12] LNS-Currahee: Robert: Alright. Time is up.
After I refused to hand out the hackers he began to shoot at me:
Flight log: Anthony Latif, Kelvin
This is Anthony Latif from starship "Kelvin". I am glad to report about superconductors and robotics delivery in quantity 39,150 of both:
Flight log: Anthony Latif, Celsius
This is Anthony Latif from research vessel "Celsius". We have been getting different reports from civilians, military and corporate personal about strange interferences in border Liberty space. Due to this, we decided to check this information by ourselves and find out the source of this event. A bit later we found the possible source in the Kansas system and immediately moved there. We found the area with anomalous objects, visually similar to Baxter object, though these ones were short-living formations constantly appearing and decaying. The reason for their occurrence is not found yet and additional experiments are needed.
Flight log: Anthony Latif, Kelvin
This is Anthony Latif from starship "Kelvin". Reporting about ore deplection and delivery in quantity of 39,200 of both.
Flight log: Anthony Latif, Kelvin
Anthony Latif of "Kelvin" reporting. While passing through Stuttgart system, my vessel was attacked by an EFL pirate. "Taureau"- class armored transport destabilised tradelane section near Omega-7 Jumpgate, forcing us to slow down. Caught in ambush, I refused his demands. Our fight was interrupted by Sirius-wide Ion-storm that caused all systems of both ships to shut down. Upon regaining control over our sensors, we found ourselves stranded in space alone. Their vessel is assumed to have either been hit by a storm or have retreated intentionally.
826-02-25 23:31:09EFL|Abeille.Bourbon: Ludovic: Bonjour Ageira!
