Don't mention it, I intend to analyze the photos in further detail in my private chambers on Mactan as well, although I think our conclusions will be similar...
Hello, Assassin Raphael Drake giving a small update of the recent events.
I received a call from Master Assassin Mildred Wolfe that there is work to do in New York. Anyways I was still at Rochester having a talk with the local Junkers repairing my bomber after our last fight in New York where we took down a few Navy fighters. I've deployed into space and met up with Mildred who was already present at Manhattan orbit. It seemed the Liberty Navy was fighting a rather large number of Nomad vessels, however, I've only seen the last remnants of the fleet, with several damaged capital vessels the Liberty Navy was withdrawing their vessels from the combat area as we engaged their wings in order to take a few down of them. The Nomad fleet has been already destroyed as we were attacking them.
Luck wasn't on our side this time and we only took down a single Navy fighter and the Outcast capital vessels were wiped out entirely. My lack of experience in bomber vessel cost me my ship and my success in this operation as we were fighting incoming Liberty Police fighters. My ship was destroyed and my escape pod has been retrieved by Master Assassin Mildred Wolfe who managed to escape the battlefield unharmed.
What I gain from this unpleasant experience? I've realized that there is much more to learn than just being a fighter ace within the inner circle, tactical decisions and combat awareness are very important treats that have to be schooled and improved, I apologize for my failure.
That is all for now, stay safe. Assassin Raphael Drake out.
I recently undertook a mission of critical importance to our efforts to reclaim the Fu Manchu from the hands of the Unioners. With the help of a sympathetic underworld contact, I was able to lure LSF Agent Aaron Sommers to Planet Pittsburgh in the hopes of finding me. Instead, I found him. After a fairly brutal interrogation, I obtained his access codes to the LSF secure communications channel. Under the guise of being Agent Sommers I contracted a professor at Cambridge to do a comparative analysis of the KKS-Sirene and the Fu Manchu. That report is attached here for a more detailed reading.
In short, there is a 1 in 750,000,000 chance that the KKS-Sirene is NOT the Fu Manchu. This should greatly strengthen our bargaining position in our efforts to reclaim the Fu Manchu.
Been a while since I last wrote a report. In the last couple of weeks I've managed to gather data on several ships, which I then uploaded to the Spyglass Network Scanner. Since I have managed to scan over 20 different ships, I believe I've completed the Awareness criteria.
Today I had a particularly eventful day. I was flying in New York, alongside the outcast gunboat SAW-D, when we were intercepted by several navy and police ships, most of them gunboats and capital ships. Shortly after, we were engaged and had to fight back. The outcast gunboat was destroyed in battle, but I managed to eliminate LPI-Alban.Jankowski[D] before I had to retreat the scene. Visual data
Yesterday, I was able to finish the remaining Import/Export routes I believe I had to fulfill to qualify for the Industrious criteria. In doing so, I also captured several pilots which I left aboard the Mactan Interrogator, as required for the Relentless criteria. Bellow you'll find the respective evidence of these feats.
I have received a message from Assassin Kurt Ambrose and Operative Justin Vek with a very odd presence in New York. It appears that an Order battlegroup accompanied by the 5th Liberty Navy fleet was passing through Liberty space. As we're technically allies with the Order and their remnants and splinter cells I do not really mind their presence in our space. Anyways, it seemed that this was a rogue operation lead by the 5th Navy Fleet and it is to be expected that they share a mutual alliance. It appears that the Order operatives were preparing the Navy for another Nomad Invasion on Liberty space, as it appears their presence was due to the Nomad attack I have mentioned in my previous report. However, upon questioning the reason for their presence I was met with unnecessary hostility and cheeky answers from the captain of the Order Battleship "Neteru" while the other Order operatives remained rather calm and friendly. I will attach all voice logs to this report now, which includes content from Mr.Ambrose, Mr.Vek, the 5th Fleet Carrier Captain Evans, the Order operatives and myself. However, while I was talking to them Mr.Ambrose took down one 5th Navy fighter vessel somewhere in the Pittsburgh Scrapfield. I also will upload visuals on the ships participating in the meeting which also contains the visual confirmation of the destroyed Navy fighter vessel. I hope that the Professors consider this information worthy enough to consider it for a Espionage. I also want to add that one of our diplomats sends a message to the Order Overwatch and if needed I will do it myself.
[03.11.2019 17:08:00] LH~Kurt.Ambrose: Well this is quite the sight.
[03.11.2019 17:08:10] 5th|Nazawo.Ayato: Hmf.
[03.11.2019 17:08:18] 5th|Nazawo.Ayato: Hackers. If I'd expect that.
[03.11.2019 17:08:20] Order|Solandros: Hail Lane Hacker
[03.11.2019 17:08:23] 5th|LNS-Antietam: Evans: Typical.
[03.11.2019 17:08:40] LH~Kurt.Ambrose: Lets talk Nazawo
[03.11.2019 17:08:56] 5th|Nazawo.Ayato: Not on a talking mood with your kind.
[03.11.2019 17:09:05] LH~Justin.Vek: But we are.
[03.11.2019 17:09:11] LH~Kurt.Ambrose: Well that is unfortunate.
[03.11.2019 17:11:01] LH~Kurt.Ambrose: So... whats going on here?
[03.11.2019 17:11:03] |O|-CV-Neteru: C: Lane Hackers I kindly ask you cease your hostilities, we are attempting to prepare Liberty for Nomad encounters.
[03.11.2019 17:11:16] 5th|LNS-Antietam: Evans: Yeah, about that.
[03.11.2019 17:11:22] |O|-CV-Neteru: C: if you dont want Liberty to fall to the Nomad Threat, please stop.
[03.11.2019 17:11:28] Order|Succubus: Mm...Solandros...shouldn't I contact Colonel Hideyoshi for this?
[03.11.2019 17:11:32] 5th|LNS-Antietam: Evans: The Lane Hackers aided the Nomads against Liberty forces.
[03.11.2019 17:11:43] |O|-CV-Neteru: C: They... what?
[03.11.2019 17:11:59] Order|Firefly: Is that even possible!
[03.11.2019 17:12:10] LH~Justin.Vek: What the hell kind of fiction is that?
[03.11.2019 17:12:11] 5th|LNS-Antietam: Evans: During the latest attack on Manhattan from the Nomads, the Lane Hackers turned their guns on us, rather than the Nomads.
[03.11.2019 17:12:13] Order|Solandros: I would suggest sending a transmission at least
[03.11.2019 17:12:17] |O|-Resdayn: Anything's possible. Mass genocide, alien superweapons..
[03.11.2019 17:12:21] Order|Succubus: she begins typing
[03.11.2019 17:13:17] 5th|LNS-Antietam: Evans: So, you see, the Lane Hackers have a special place in hell.
[03.11.2019 17:13:18] Order|Solandros: Hm, that doesn't sound like lane hacker behavior. A bunch of wild cards perhaps?
[03.11.2019 17:13:43] LH~Justin.Vek: You'll be right there with us with what your ilk have been doing to Liberty for the past century.
[03.11.2019 17:13:45] |O|-Resdayn: Or perhaps insurgents.
[03.11.2019 17:13:53] 5th|LNS-Antietam: Evans: Mildred Wolfe and Raphael Drake.
[03.11.2019 17:14:21] |O|-CV-Neteru: C: how much clearer do we need to be. We are attempting to prepare Liberty for the Nomad Threat, why are you stopping this?
[03.11.2019 17:14:43] 5th|LNS-Antietam: Evans: I've already told you why. They want Liberty to fall to the Nomads.
[03.11.2019 17:14:45] LH~Kurt.Ambrose: We arent stopping anything... This 5th fleet would be dead in their tracks if we were
[03.11.2019 17:14:55] |O|-CV-Neteru: C: Then kindly depart.
[03.11.2019 17:15:19] |O|-Resdayn: This meeting doesn't concern you, Hackers. Best to move on and leave things as they are.
[03.11.2019 17:15:27] |O|-Resdayn: Developments will happen regardless.
[03.11.2019 17:16:05] LH~Kurt.Ambrose: Give me a minute here.
[03.11.2019 17:17:51] Order|Solandros: It seems your patrols can be quite eventful as well.
[03.11.2019 17:18:01] 5th|LNS-Antietam: Evans: This is nothing.
[03.11.2019 17:18:03] 5th|Nazawo.Ayato: Well, depend of the day.
[03.11.2019 17:18:17] 5th|LNS-Antietam: Evans: Should see what the Outcasts come in here with.
[03.11.2019 17:18:53] LH~Kurt.Ambrose: I am going to decline your suggestion to leave.
[03.11.2019 17:18:57] |O|-CV-Neteru: C: May we get back to preparing the 5th Lane Hackers or are you going to stop?
[03.11.2019 17:19:07] LH~Kurt.Ambrose: You are trying to kick a person out of their own house
[03.11.2019 17:19:35] |O|-CV-Neteru: C: no, not their house, just this area. The 5th wont let their guard down if your here hovering over them.
[03.11.2019 17:19:42] LH~Justin.Vek: The safety of Liberty is also our concern
[03.11.2019 17:19:48] LH~Kurt.Ambrose: As I said before. We are not going to stop you but we are not going to leave.
[03.11.2019 17:20:02] 5th|LNS-Antietam: Evans: Right...
[03.11.2019 17:20:15] (LNS)Razarac: this is cpt.John from LNS Razarac to order Vessels waht is your bussnis here over
[03.11.2019 17:20:29] [LN]-ESRD|Atlas: Order vessels..?
[03.11.2019 17:20:44] LH~Justin.Vek: Well well
[03.11.2019 17:20:47] PORY: where
[03.11.2019 17:20:56] LH~Justin.Vek: This a rogue operation 5th?
[03.11.2019 17:21:12] LH~Raphael.Drake: Greetings gentlemen.
[03.11.2019 17:21:16] |O|-CV-Neteru: C: You people think with your weapons first and its disgusting.
[03.11.2019 17:21:19] 5th|LNS-Antietam: Evans: I am not at liberty to disclose what "this" is.
[03.11.2019 17:21:32] Order|Succubus: This is....quite the gathering.
[03.11.2019 17:21:41] LH~Raphael.Drake: It is indeed.
[03.11.2019 17:22:01] LH~Raphael.Drake: Mr.Ambrose what is this meeting all about?
[03.11.2019 17:22:20] Order|Solandros: Perhaps we should continue this another time. When cooler heads prevail. Lane Hackers, please send us a comm over the neuro net
[03.11.2019 17:22:30] LH~Raphael.Drake: No, no.
[03.11.2019 17:22:33] Order|Solandros: We will explain in satisfactory detail what this meeting was about
[03.11.2019 17:22:36] LH~Raphael.Drake: We settle this now.
[03.11.2019 17:22:44] |O|-CV-Neteru: C: is that a threat?
[03.11.2019 17:22:50] 5th|LNS-Antietam: Evans: Sounded like one.
[03.11.2019 17:22:58] LH~Raphael.Drake: Nobody will be harmed and nobody is being threatend.
[03.11.2019 17:23:01] Order|Solandros: *cough* cooler heads, remember?
[03.11.2019 17:23:14] |O|-CV-Neteru: C: Then tone it down.
[03.11.2019 17:23:19] |O|-CV-Neteru: C: Your the ones chasing us.
[03.11.2019 17:23:34] LH~Raphael.Drake: I'm kinda curious where we actually are.
[03.11.2019 17:23:39] LH~Raphael.Drake: Are we in the Omicrons?
[03.11.2019 17:23:43] LH~Raphael.Drake: No, wait we are not.
[03.11.2019 17:24:04] 5th|LNS-Antietam: Evans: Honestly, if you're confused about where we are, you have bigger problems than us.
[03.11.2019 17:24:09] LH~Raphael.Drake: So, anyways, tell me what this meeting is about please.
[03.11.2019 17:24:20] |O|-Resdayn: We've told you multiple times.
[03.11.2019 17:24:29] LH~Raphael.Drake: Not to me directly.
[03.11.2019 17:24:31] |O|-Resdayn: Preparing Liberty for Nomad incursions.
[03.11.2019 17:24:43] |O|-Resdayn: Well, if you people communicated like normal people, you wouldn't be wondering.
[03.11.2019 17:24:49] 5th|LNS-Antietam: Evans: It really isn't anything that concerns the Lane Hackers. Especially after I watched you, Drake, aid the Nomads.
[03.11.2019 17:25:02] LH~Raphael.Drake: Ah, yes the Nomads.
[03.11.2019 17:25:06] Order|Solandros: *sighs as he rests his head in the palm of his hand* Well then, let's try this again.
[03.11.2019 17:25:07] LH~Raphael.Drake: A threat to all human kind.
[03.11.2019 17:25:19] LH~Raphael.Drake: I'm wondering why the Liberty Navy isn't able to handle this problem alone.
[03.11.2019 17:25:27] LH~Raphael.Drake: Despite being a strong fleet itself.
[03.11.2019 17:25:37] Order|Succubus: The war has harmed many people...
[03.11.2019 17:25:38] |O|-CV-Neteru: C: Thats not for us to judge.
[03.11.2019 17:25:47] |O|-CV-Neteru: C: We are here to help and you are stopping that.
[03.11.2019 17:25:48] |O|-Resdayn: No fleet is fully capable, even Liberty.
[03.11.2019 17:26:12] 5th|LNS-Antietam: Evans: I suppose you were too busy getting high to notice that the Liberty Navy can no longer fully defend against the Nomads.
[03.11.2019 17:26:15] |O|-CV-Neteru: C: Attacking the 5th fleet while just a few kilometers from us is disrespectful.
[03.11.2019 17:26:32] LH~Raphael.Drake: I do not see any 5th fleeters around except the carrier.
[03.11.2019 17:26:35] 5th|LNS-Antietam: Evans: The loss of five fleets hurt.
[03.11.2019 17:26:46] LH~Raphael.Drake: We all have lost Mr.Evans.
[03.11.2019 17:26:59] Order|Solandros: After a large scale Nomad invasion here in Liberty not too long ago, the Order reached out and offered to assist in preparing
[03.11.2019 17:27:03] Order|Solandros: for the next incursion
[03.11.2019 17:27:13] Order|Solandros: We were about to discuss details, when you came along
[03.11.2019 17:27:30] |O|-CV-Neteru: C: Came along and started firing disruptors.
[03.11.2019 17:27:33] 5th|LNS-Antietam: Evans: So, if you would prefer to have the Nomads over the Liberty Navy, please stay.
[03.11.2019 17:27:34] |O|-CV-Neteru: C: An act of agression.
[03.11.2019 17:27:47] 5th|LNS-Antietam: Evans: If not, beat it.
[03.11.2019 17:27:50] LH~Raphael.Drake: Who fired disruptors?
[03.11.2019 17:28:01] Order|Solandros: And while we have no problem with the Lane Hackers, your diplomatic standing with the navy is well known. So we decided it was
[03.11.2019 17:28:10] Order|Solandros: best to keep distance to avoid confrontation between you two.
[03.11.2019 17:28:36] LH~Raphael.Drake: Maybe you'd be so kind and throw us a message, next time when you bring such a fleet into Liberty space.
[03.11.2019 17:29:02] Order|Solandros: Heh I'll keep that in mind. And apologies for the surprise

[03.11.2019 17:29:54] LH~Raphael.Drake: Good, since we're all men of business, I'll keep this in mind until our next meeting Mr.Evans.
[03.11.2019 17:30:10] LH~Raphael.Drake: That the 5th Liberty Navy fleet cooperates with the Order.
[03.11.2019 17:30:15] LH~Raphael.Drake: Quite interesting if I might add.
[03.11.2019 17:30:31] 5th|LNS-Antietam: Evans: I do what I believe is right to protect my home. Can you say the same?
[03.11.2019 17:30:49] Death: 5th|Nazawo.Ayato was put out of action by LH~Kurt.Ambrose (Gun).
[03.11.2019 17:30:59] LH~Raphael.Drake: Mr.Evans, I was in the Liberty Navy aswell, many years ago. I do know what you're speaking off and I fully understand.
[03.11.2019 17:31:04] |O|-CV-Neteru: C: Typical.
[03.11.2019 17:31:53] LH~Raphael.Drake: Anyways gentlemen, I expect a message from the order either to me or the Professors about this operation.
[03.11.2019 17:32:00] LH~Raphael.Drake: telling me to tone it down lol
[03.11.2019 17:32:08] |O|-CV-Neteru: C: You expect a lot.
[03.11.2019 17:32:21] Order|Solandros: That won't be a problem. Safe flight.
[03.11.2019 17:32:32] LH~Raphael.Drake: Did I come into your space and gave cheeky answers and demanded to tone down?
[03.11.2019 17:32:35] LH~Raphael.Drake: No I did not.
[03.11.2019 17:32:41] LH~Raphael.Drake: Mr.Vek, we leave now.
[03.11.2019 17:32:49] LH~Raphael.Drake: Stay safe.
[03.11.2019 17:32:52] |O|-CV-Neteru: C: I have to say, this is the Republic of Liberty, not the Republic of Hackers.
[03.11.2019 17:33:22] Order|Succubus: *she just blinks*
[03.11.2019 17:33:24] LH~Raphael.Drake: This is not the Republic of Orillions Legacy either.
[03.11.2019 17:33:39] LH~Raphael.Drake: So tone it down.
That is all for now, stay safe. Assassin Raphael Drake out.
Last night, I encountered a bounty hunter by the name of Sean.Murphy. This one has sure proved himself to be a small nuisance, as of late. He was in a hurry to collect a bounty on me and move on to some Legion pilots, so we both agreed to get it over with. Needless to say, the Lane Hackers's superiority was made clear. He was particularly unlucky, as his hull was breached by one of his own missiles.
Soon after that, I was joined by Assassins Raphael Drake and Kurt Ambrose, as well as Subverter Kage Tenshi. We followed a navy pilot by the name of Michael King to Pennsylvania. It wasn't long before a horde of hostile ships joined in. We managed to quickly destroy a bounty hunter gunboat, but, in the end, we were outmatched. I've taken the liberty to attach evidence of the elimination of both bounty hunters bellow.
Driftscape - Driftscape is a risky maneuver and should be used when you and your pursuer is in cruise. This intricate maneuver is performed while cruising towards Jump Gate, Trade Lane or Jump Hole, initiating engine kill to keep momentum at around 1k left to your escape route, then by swiftly turning your ship so that you can launch a cruise disruptor at your pursuer after which you turn back towards your escape route and ready up to dock with it. This leaves your pursuer out of cruise and out of range to disrupt the lane or block your escape route and gives head start on the other end of it. Best used against pursuers who do not have auto-countermeasures while you do.
Radar Filter - Scroll through Radar modes to only have selection of piloted ships and prevent hostile solar objects or drones to obstruct your target selection.
Radar Glimpse - While unreliable, a good way to detect location of target which is further than 15k away.
It seems the Liberty Police, Inc. is using undercover Officers in an attempt to catch us off guard. Honestly this was just to damn easy if I may say so myself. This filthy corporate police dog took massive damage against my superior Vindicator. He was left with his tail between his legs and his honor scattered all over trenton. Yes, thats right. This tough officer ran away and crash landed on Trenton because he could not handle an Assassin of the Lane Hackers Inner Circle. Evidence is hidden within the code.
