Hello Lane Hackers, I was a prisoner of Liberty and they forced me to decode the messages you send to each other, but I managed to escape, by hacking their electric doors (they shouldn't have been to lazy to use their arms to open my celdoors, stupid cops) en by stealing a starflyer I managed to escape Manhattan, now I'm hiding from their search parties . So I thought, could I maybe help the Lane hackers to repair the damage I did?
please call me decoder

Greeting Lane Hackers, it seems the hand of fate has finally guided me towards you. For the past few years I had been working for the abomination Ageira Technologies. I hated working for them, but it payed well and the money for cardmine had to come from somewhere. My job had been upgrading and maintaining the encryption and communication software used in the systems aboard many Ageira ships. Of course I had heard the rumors of their extreme buisness practices, but really is one corporation worse than another? At least that is what I had thought...
My father had a freelance escort contract with Ageira for many years, and up until about a year ago had been rather content with it. However thats when things slowly started to change, after coming back from some missions he had seemed rather distressed. I kept asking him what was bothering him but he never told me what had happened, he said it was for my own good that I didn't know. Three months ago he told me that Ageira had done worse things than in the rumors I had heard floating around at work. He told me that he wasn't going to renew his contract with Ageira and was planning to move into Kusari space, and he suggested the same for me. He had five more escort missions left on his contract, unfortunately he would never get the chance to see Kusari space. He never come back from his next mission, Ageira had claimed he was killed by Lane Hackers while defending a convoy. However none of the other escorts were harmed and none of the convoy was lost, and from what I know of you Lane Hackers you are neither that inefficient nor incompetent.
So it comes down to this, I offer my services to you in taking down Ageira Technologies. I have intricate knowledge of current encryption technology used by Ageira, as well as planned revisions to some of their current systems. As well, my father had raised me to be a fighter pilot to follow in his footsteps, and although I had never persued that path, I believe his efforts were not in vain. Most importantly I have the clarity to see things for what they are. I believe that through selective engagements and thoughtful planning the Lane Hackers will be able to take down Ageira and their 'allies'. I hope that in the best interest of everyone in the Siruis System you accept this offer that I have extended to you.

I have had a hatret toward Liberty since my childhood when my parents was killed.
I i can hack Tradelanes and trader ships flightcomputers.
Time is GMT+1
I will choose a name from the list and start a new LH life on your command.
I am not a native English Speaker, so i make grammar errors.
But it annoys me when people make silly comments about that... especially brits who for the most part can't speak their own language let alone anyone elses!

While I am sorry for the need to hack your comms, there isnt much else that I can do as of now, because I am now a wanted man, and the Lane Hackers seemed like a good group to join because of my background and skills, at of course hacking and computing work.
Much of this is in the disruption of security systems, trade lanes and hacking of most computing systems. Due to my former employment I also have knowledge of most of Ageiras security protocols.
As with most applicants here on your database, I am an ex- Ageira employee, and I was working in the ship security division, the one that provides some of the technologies that Interspace Commerce uses.
My first few months on the job were excellent, or so I thought as we worked around the clock to upgrade the existing software to monitor cargo and information travelling through the trade lanes. However our team was noticing that slowly, our pay was being decreased and members entering applications to be moved to other divisions denied. By the time we had some answers, some of my co-workers had begun to go missing, and much to my horror, after hacking into the main database, I received information that would shock any employee here.
Much to my astonishment I read as there were many other cases almost identical to mine and that some of the my divisions work was being edited to be less failsafe, just so that the higher ups could be given grants by the government to feed their corporate mouths. However thankfully in those files I also found information on you, the lane hackers and all the other criminal groups in Liberty. Being carless as I was though, I realized that having hacked the system using my access codes would mean that I would be the next target for a mysterious disappearance and I knew that I didnt have much time left.
So I have scrapped together the last of my credits and bought myself a starflier, and hacked a few neural net accounts in order to get some more credits for weaponry, and a small shot of cardamine. On the topic of ship flight, when we werent working till we dropped, most of us burnt time by vaporizing each other in the few ship simulators, before they were removed, so I am not too bad of a pilot.
Finally the main reason I want these corrupt corporations to fall is so that we may have a true, fair and just group providing technologies that actually help people and are not just for cost accounting gains and the removal on the restriction of cardamine. Whilst it would not be wise to use my true identity, it is fine if you call me Gafia for now, but a replacement for that name would be appreciated. Also please note that I have sent an high risk virus along with this message as a failsafe, should it fall into the wrong hands. And I am sure you will be able to find my transmission point, if the reports are true and, I would have preference in the fighter squad.

Heh, nice to see that i still got it in me to break through those measely security firewalls... to think they can keep me out. Heh, anyways...
Well anyways, I am an Ageira employee... well, ex-Ageira employee anyways. Those arrogant thugs did not like it that i had covered up some of my information when they re-ran background checks on everyone in my department. It turns out that they were not happy that i have had some fighter training. They would prefer i sit and rot at a computer terminal, monitoring their networks, i guess.
I was stationed at a monitoring post that watched the data-flow running through the Trade Lane and Jump Gate networks. I have seen first hand, some of the very crafty codework the LH can perform, and quite frankly, i am impressed. I have much experience with tapping into the data nodes of the networks, but they may have some of the access protocols since they fired me.
Personally, i have never really like Ageira. The only reason i worked for them in the first place is because they recruited me. I never really knew about any other career options. Ive been working with them since i turned 19, and that was 3 years ago. I want to get the lost opprotunities back from those who abused my work and effort, and made my life hell by sticking me at a remote station. Their arrogance... i was one of the best network security anylysts they had.
I am ready to bring the fight back to those jerks, and hopefully make a pretty penny while doing it, too.

Greetings Hackers, I must keep it brief, Ageira are onto me. As of this moment I believe Ageira wishes to "talk to me. I've been noticing strange things here. People working here one day, gone the next...
While working I decided I needed a bit of a break so I headed online to look for anything to take my mind off the boredom, but the slave drivers they are put a block on most sites. Not to worry I thought, I will just hack the system and give myself admin privileges until Im finished. While in the process of finishing the hack I noticed a file that wasnt in the Ageira Secure Folder before. So being the inquisitive guy I am decided to have a look. I do not have time to say what I found, but within minutes of beginning to read someone had terminated my access to the system.
As you can tell I am fine now but I do not know for how long this will last.
I beg you; let me join your service. I can pilot various spacecraft and I have been able to hack since an early age.
I will not give you my name or how to contact me as this will make it easier for Ageira to trace me.
I am sure you will find a way to contact me again. I shall be waiting...

//GMT +0 and I will fly as Dean Harton if approved.
I originally come from a wealthy family on planet Manhatten, when I was 18 I joined Liberty Police and served for 2 years. There was an accident when training a new pilot, he got careless and bumbed me into a cruising Navy Battleship. This Navy Pilot was trigger happy and took this as an attack, before I was able to regain control of my ship he had shot me down.
I thought I'd died, but that was just the drugs wearing off. I awoke aboard an unknown vessel, told about some implants, I didn't care, couldn't focus. Not until a gun was pressed up against my head.
Something took control of my senses, I was suddenly more awake then I'd ever been. I took everything about my surroundings in at once, so much input. Soldiers in black surrounded me, men in white jackets in the corner, scientists. Ageira. The name was printed on things all about the place.
One of the scientists approached.
'Xion', he said. I lost consciousness.
I came to on my feet, buildings all around. People? They were running from me. I tried to yell, but I had no control. I was still walking. What is this? Manhatten!
Why am I here? My parents house. Why am I here?
Ageira. The name flashed through my mind again. Where had I heard it before? My parents were key contributors, they loved the company. In fact they'd written in their will, for it all to go to Ageira...their will?
Why am I here?
I entered the security code to get into my old home. No!
-
I shan't say more. I killed my entire family before I had control again.
I fell to my knees and clasped my head in my hands in despair. Felt...
Wires?
I go by the name of Xion, and it is my sole aim to destroy Ageira. To wreak vengeance for my family.

Greetings Lane Hackers. I am sending this message from a drifting Rhino somewhere in California. I am afraid I must keep this short. I don't know how long this comm system will last. I was born on Planet Denver in the poor district. I didn't have a very good life, looking for food and money anywhere I could. Eventually, when i was eighteen, I signed on as a communications monitor on an Ageria transport. I was in that position for two years, when i became a R&D researcher on Pueblo Station. I only held this position for three months, as I wasn't one for desk work, and became the pilot of another transport. This position I held for one year, when I became Captain of the aforementioned ship.
I was captain of that transport for two years, until I started noticing several "misplaced" funds put into the accounts of several executives. I started asking too many questions, when i found myself being shot at by a pair of mercs in a cargo loading room on Newark. I shot them both in self defense and, knowing I was going to get killed one way or another by Ageria, stole a Rhino. I soon found myself being shot at by several LPI fighters, and I somehow got to California before they destroyed my engines and left me for dead. I've been drifting for about two hours, I decided to bring my technological expertise and Ageria access codes to the Lane Hackers. If you tell me i am alright to join, ill send you my coordinates so you can get a patrol to pick me up. Oh great, the powers failing, I have to shut off the transmitter.

Dear Lane Hackers
I can not tell you much about my past as I wish it to remain a secret and I can't risk this being intercepted by the Liberty Navy (The less your enemies know about you, the less chance of running afoul of them). I'm sure you will understand. I was brought up in a highly militarized and corrupt borderworld planet. With foster parents that were too busy working to spend much time looking after me I began turning my attention to making money. I was very adapt at using programs to find exactly what I wanted in the manner of cargo manifests and locations of various valuable objects by sliceing into the Neural Nets of the docked ships and Manifests of various warehouses. While the ships were docked or the warehouses unattended a good friend of mine, who now goes by the name Aztech, would break us in undetected using his immense skill with hardware and various devious gadgets. We would then steal the valuable items and sell them on the black market with our other friends who now go by the names of Roabot and Thalion5. As we grew older my skill in hacking increased, with our money we bought ourselves light fighters and began prowling the space above our heads for cargo bearing ships. One day I intercepted a transmission from an Ageira ship (this was odd as they very rarely traveled out to those borderworlds). The transmission was heavily encrypted and it was being sent back to somewere in Liberty I believe however we were more interested in the topic of the transmission.
The Ageira transports (there were three of them) were carrying scientists I believe and equipment which our scanners wouldn't identify. They said they were approaching the Tachyon Well.
None of my friends had heard of it but we were intrigued and followed the ships from a safe distance when they headed into dangerous nebula cloud. We thought about turning back but continued.
When we reached the centre of the cloud we saw that the Ageira ships had stopped and then they started doing something really strange. They seemed to transform into three massive conductors of somekind and then something started happening in the cloud. A massive energy burst flashed out from a point inbetween the conductors which damaged our cloaks and immediatley the Ageira ships were awear of us.
We got out of there as fast as we could and hid in an asteroid field for a few days.
When we returned home our families had disappeared and our housing had been burnt.
The border worlds were nolonger safe for us so we took a path leading us away from any Ageira trade routes and we are currently 45 klicks from Mactan Base and I wish to join your ranks.
I want to avail my services in quick hacking to you and ultimately gain revenge for what Ageira did to my family and find out what they were doing in that nebula. Also my friends will join too and they have special abilities aswell.

As i thought, this transmission is being tracked as we speak, i'll be quick.
After getting exploited, used and slaved around over and over again.. My grudge has never been higher against these so called
Corporations.. According to some recent information I will be able to make a go for it, some rumors are that several light ships
are soon to be ready for shipping at Planet Manhattan, If im quick ill be able to snatch one of those..
So far my mobility when using a ship has been at the top, so getting away from the security and military won't be that much problem.
As for now, ill wait until i have a feeling or response from you, so I know i have a stable organisation to lay my loyalty on.
*S***Scra***mble***
Not much time now, they are on my last firewall..
.....
My soon to be ex-coworkers always said i had a big mouth lively attutide... harrasement, irritation, pranking and other stuff won't be a problem at
all to accomplice.
