To: The Lane Hackers From: "Oranos"| Atlantis Manufacturing Olympian Subject: Questionable involvement
Recently, I was informed by one of my employees that he was halted along the trade lanes in Liberty. I wouldn't be surprised that your groups are there waiting to catch expecting Ageria transports and logistics. But with our expansion across Maltese sectors, I understand that we could become quite the business partners from one of your organization members. So, why am I slightly concerned about this encounter?
[17.01.2016 11:26:31] AM}-A-Argo: Marcello: Pilot. *Nods a hello*
[17.01.2016 11:26:33] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: Trade vessel you will be given a set of coordinates
[17.01.2016 11:26:51] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: You will move there or you will be destroyed in a blink of the eye!
[17.01.2016 11:27:28] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: Coordinates incoming: H-6
[17.01.2016 11:27:32] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: Move it now!
[17.01.2016 11:28:05] AM}-A-Argo: Marcello: well then, this is a turn... *sighs* As you wish, Pilot.
[17.01.2016 11:28:27] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: That's not the way to H6
[17.01.2016 11:28:59] AM}-A-Argo: Marcello: My mistake, Can I ask what this is about?
[17.01.2016 11:29:13] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: What does it look like?
[17.01.2016 11:29:22] AM}-A-Argo: Marcello: Last I checked, there was a sizable Minefield this way.
[17.01.2016 11:29:48] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: On your left side, I am sure you can manage evading it.
[17.01.2016 11:30:07] Death: Neps was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[17.01.2016 11:30:28] AM}-A-Argo: Marcello: Pilot, I really haven't a clue as to whaty this is about, can you pease explain?
[17.01.2016 11:30:51] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: We are good here. Cut your engines.
[17.01.2016 11:31:36] AM}-A-Argo: Marcelo: now, what is this about PIlot?
[17.01.2016 11:31:49] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: Law enforcement in this system is very tight, so if we want to properly extort a target
[17.01.2016 11:32:00] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: The target is first moved to a secure location. That's all you need to know.
[17.01.2016 11:32:46] AM}-A-Argo: Marcello: Extortion... You know, before I flew this vesel, the Hackers would more often than not give me a nice Hola instead.
[17.01.2016 11:33:12] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: Who are you?
[17.01.2016 11:33:20] AM}-A-Argo: Marcello: Have the relations between the Maltese and the Hackers declined in recent time?
[17.01.2016 11:33:40] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: That's not of your concern, freelancer.
[17.01.2016 11:34:13] AM}-A-Argo: Marcello Bloodrose, Ex bloodrose Syndicate Thorn serving under Rise bloodrose, now worlking for Atlantis Manufacturing.
[17.01.2016 11:34:35] AM}-A-Argo: Hence why I asked about Maltese relations, /pilot/.
[17.01.2016 11:35:38] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: I am aware of the Bloodrose Syndicate. Haven't picked up signals from them recently.
[17.01.2016 11:36:25] AM}-A-Argo: The syndicate... disolved. Marrisa, the lovely Senorita, lost her mind at the loss of her love, Angelica. We couldn't continue-
[17.01.2016 11:36:39] AM}-A-Argo: -without her leadership.
[17.01.2016 11:36:55] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: Sounds like a fairy tale
[17.01.2016 11:37:13] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: And what is this Atlantis Manufacturing?
[17.01.2016 11:38:50] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: Answer my question
[17.01.2016 11:38:51] AM}-A-Argo: Yes, a fairy tale that is quite real, My friend.
[17.01.2016 11:39:05] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: You were asked about AM, freelancer.
[17.01.2016 11:39:16] AM}-A-Argo: As for Atlantis, we are an entity your group may have mixed feelings about.
[17.01.2016 11:40:05] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: Keep talking
[17.01.2016 11:40:12] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: We have not infinite time at our leisure.
[17.01.2016 11:40:13] AM}-A-Argo: I know how the Hackers have long since stood against the corporate oppressors, however, AM is not like other such groups
[17.01.2016 11:40:32] AM}-A-Argo: Si, I know Pilot.
[17.01.2016 11:40:47] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: What's your difference then?
[17.01.2016 11:41:55] AM}-A-Argo: Well, we are a registered Maltese Entity, working towards the Outcast cause for a better Maltese future.
[17.01.2016 11:42:22] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: Tsk Tsk.
[17.01.2016 11:42:32] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: So to summarize.
[17.01.2016 11:42:40] AM}-A-Argo: We work for the Maltese
[17.01.2016 11:42:52] AM}-A-Argo: That is the summury.
[17.01.2016 11:43:21] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: You are telling me that a proud Bloodrose Maltese started working for a company that is supposedly friendly to Outcasts-
[17.01.2016 11:44:03] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: and yet I see that your transport had no trouble passing through the militarized zone around Battleship Missouri and Norfolk
[17.01.2016 11:44:06] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: Shipyard.
[17.01.2016 11:44:16] AM}-A-Argo: Not the syndicate, just myself and a close friend of mine.
[17.01.2016 11:45:21] AM}-A-Argo: Yes, AM makes sure to keep itself out of the Laws eye by retaining a clean image.
[17.01.2016 11:45:37] AM}-A-Argo: However....
[17.01.2016 11:46:05] AM}-A-Argo: Oranos, leader of The AM keeps close relations with the Maltese, The Cross specifically.
[17.01.2016 11:46:28] AM}-A-Argo: We are quite close to the Cross and other Maltese groups.
[17.01.2016 11:46:28] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: And why we have no records of this AM or this Oranos?
[17.01.2016 11:46:35] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: Since you are so close as you claim?
[17.01.2016 11:46:53] AM}-A-Argo: As far as I am aware, you /do/ have information on our group.
[17.01.2016 11:47:05] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: No, I just checked our databases.
[17.01.2016 11:47:12] AM}-A-Argo: I would suggrest you speak with your supperiors on this subject.
[17.01.2016 11:47:27] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: Listen flunky.
[17.01.2016 11:47:40] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: Scums do not tell me what to do, I tell them!
[17.01.2016 11:48:10] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: Your fairy tale has a number of holes. Such as-
[17.01.2016 11:48:28] AM}-A-Argo: Scum? Senior, I have provided more than enough supplies and information in the past for the Hackers to be called such.,
[17.01.2016 11:48:40] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: The neutrality with Liberty, lack of intel regarding your group and I still cannot believe how a
[17.01.2016 11:49:07] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: Maltese warrior ended up on a frigate dealing with Liberty's "authorities".
[17.01.2016 11:49:49] AM}-A-Argo: Did I /ever/ say I dealt with Liberty Authorites? No, I did not.
[17.01.2016 11:49:58] AM}-A-Argo: I said we skirt the line to remain out of the laws eye.
[17.01.2016 11:50:21] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: So where are you going?
[17.01.2016 11:51:10] AM}-A-Argo: *sighs* if you must know, I am on my way to pick up a load of specialy selected material from a Junker Base.
[17.01.2016 11:51:50] AM}-A-Argo: I am then taking it back to Veletta shipyards for repurposing and use in the construction of a Sarrisa class frigate.
[17.01.2016 11:51:56] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: Okay.
[17.01.2016 11:51:59] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: I heard enough
[17.01.2016 11:53:20] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: Corporate execs sometimes think they are smart
[17.01.2016 11:54:04] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: Sometimes they think that giving a memo to their employees to read a fairy tale on the occassion they meet the Lane Hackers
[17.01.2016 11:54:16] AM}-A-Argo: Should I also mention that I am the one soley responsible for the opperations of Cartagena in Omicron 80?
[17.01.2016 11:54:20] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: will actually do the trick. Tell your superiors that IT DOES NOT.
[17.01.2016 11:55:01] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: I don't know what you are talking about. But I know you lied at least once to me claiming that we know this "Atlantis" Inc.
[17.01.2016 11:55:26] AM}-A-Argo: As far as I knew, you did. I could, ofcourse be mistaken, and if I am, then I apologise.
[17.01.2016 11:56:01] AM}-A-Argo: I may have assumed that givben your relations with the Maltese, that you would have at least some information on Atlantis.
[17.01.2016 11:56:01] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: Good, this is what I want to see. Apologizing.
[17.01.2016 11:56:33] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: Now you are going to receive the extortion that I originally prepared you for.
[17.01.2016 11:56:49] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: Wire over 500,000 credits and get the hell out of here
[17.01.2016 11:57:02] AM}-A-Argo: If it keeps this important vseele from becoming a small debries field, then I will oblige your request.
[17.01.2016 11:57:24] AM}-A-Argo: Credit transfer underway.
[17.01.2016 11:57:54] AM}-A-Argo: As for this little conversation of ours, I will see to it that Oranos gets in touch with the Hacker High command in order-
[17.01.2016 11:58:07] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: Shut up and transfer. I heard enough.
[17.01.2016 11:58:21] AM}-A-Argo: -to remedy your information gap.
[17.01.2016 11:58:43] /givecash lh~leiden.suppressor 500000
[17.01.2016 11:58:43] You have sent 500.000 credits to LH~Leiden.Suppressor
[17.01.2016 11:59:11] AM}-A-Argo: Payment sent, Pilot. I hope that one day soon you and I can speak on friendlier terms than this.
[17.01.2016 11:59:15] LH~Leiden.Suppressor: Good. Now move
Scums, fairy tale, flunky, trick? Would you like me to drag the Inquisitor of the Cross into this? She is always busy and personally hates being dragged into petty problems such as this. I understand that you somehow had a lack of information regarding this, but I even had a conversation with one of your pilots in Omicron Alpha all the way to Liberty. So either we weren't reported when we came into contact with him, or you disregarded it completely. For this "Fairy tale", we are a large supply organization of the Maltese territories, and are also based Planetside on Malta in its Rosa Sannat regions with facilities also on some solar installations.
And with the fate of the Bloodrose syndicate, Yes they unfortunately dissolved which left a lot of people without purpose or roles within Maltese society, I integrated them into my expanding corporation and now make a decent living with exponential results towards the development of the Organization and Malta together.
So, are we clear on what problems I have regarding this incident with my Employee?
My apologies for this regrettable incident, the fault is mine for failing to adequately disperse knowledge of our prior conversation broadly throughout my organization. Indeed, it was I with whom you conversed previously. Attached is the log of our discussion.
[25.12.2015 20:48:46]
AM}-H-"Oranos": Ah, Good day.
LH~Leiden.Traverser: Hail Oranos
AM}-H-"Oranos": You're part of the Libertonian Organization, The Lane Hackers... Correct?
LH~Leiden.Traverser: Indeed.
AM}-H-"Oranos": Good...
AM}-H-"Oranos": Been meaning to look at some business.
LH~Leiden.Traverser: We have a deep interest in the substance you are carrying.
AM}-H-"Oranos": O-Oh!
AM}-H-"Oranos": I don't take it...
AM}-H-"Oranos": No, Doesn't sit well with me.
LH~Leiden.Traverser: Perhaps we could relieve you of it.
AM}-H-"Oranos": Well..
AM}-H-"Oranos": Just one.
AM}-H-"Oranos": I currently have one of them labeled, to add to my collection.
LH~Leiden.Traverser: Allow me to offload my cargo first.
AM}-H-"Oranos": Anyway...
LH~Leiden.Traverser: You have our gratitude.
AM}-H-"Oranos": Well, the pleasure is mine.
AM}-H-"Oranos": I normally keep one vial for every different one that has given me one.
AM}-H-"Oranos": Coming close to... What? 5?
LH~Leiden.Traverser: Well my dear Outcasts. My voyage must return me to Liberty now. Farewell.
AM}-H-"Oranos": Hmmm...
AM}-H-"Oranos": Don't mind if I could have a word with you along the way?
LH~Leiden.Traverser: I welcome the escort in these perilous times.
AM}-H-"Oranos": May i ask whom I have the pleasure of escorting?
LH~Leiden.Traverser: Let us just say, a senior member of my organization.
AM}-H-"Oranos": Tight lips?
AM}-H-"Oranos": Hmmm.
AM}-H-"Oranos": Alright, I can play to that.
LH~Leiden.Traverser: One who has a large bounty on his head, and must therefore be supremely cautious.
AM}-H-"Oranos": I wouldn't dare attack a ally of the Maltese.
LH~Leiden.Traverser: Not all are so circumspect.
AM}-H-"Oranos": It risk my Organization planetside.
LH~Leiden.Traverser: One of our smugglers was attacked and destroyed just last week by a vile group of freelancers. With no provocation on our part, I might add. Apart from crossing paths with their lack of manners and courtesy.
AM}-H-"Oranos": Hmm...
AM}-H-"Oranos": I always keep my employees within Check.
AM}-H-"Oranos": Even upto Uniform and social custom standards.
AM}-H-"Oranos": [Sir, Might I add-]
AM}-H-"Oranos": Yes I know Adaline.
LH~Leiden.Traverser: But you spoke of business.....?
AM}-H-"Oranos": Mhmm, we're currently entering.
AM}-H-"Oranos": A section of the small arms business.
LH~Leiden.Traverser: By "we" you mean?
AM}-H-"Oranos": My Organization.
LH~Leiden.Traverser: Which is?
AM}-H-"Oranos": Atlantis Manufacturing.
AM}-H-"Oranos": So, Furthering this... I was hoping you would be one of our potential customers.
LH~Leiden.Traverser: This may indeed have potential.
AM}-H-"Oranos": We have rights to several drydocks on Catagenea Shipyard, albiet thanks to the Crimson Cross.
LH~Leiden.Traverser: We have up to now relied on the Rogues to provide us with facilities, but you can imagine the...challenges in that approach.
AM}-H-"Oranos": Hmphm...
AM}-H-"Oranos": Probably using junkers to supply them too...
AM}-H-"Oranos": We're now one of Maltas main Logistics and supply chains.
AM}-H-"Oranos": But don't ask for Cardamine, its how we manage to slip within the grey.
LH~Leiden.Traverser: So what do you propose to offer us?
AM}-H-"Oranos": Small arms, Constructions on our Drydocks...
AM}-H-"Oranos": Maybe some Hardware supplies.
AM}-H-"Oranos": But in exchange...
AM}-H-"Oranos": I Have some...
AM}-H-"Oranos": Well, odd requests.
LH~Leiden.Traverser: The Lane Hackers specialize in "odd" requests.
AM}-H-"Oranos": Good...
AM}-H-"Oranos": Because the focus around hardware manufacturing and electronics.
AM}-H-"Oranos": Imagine, clean-rooms established planetside.
AM}-H-"Oranos": Manufacturing chips and computer hardware... Made from the more creative minds.
LH~Leiden.Traverser: I believe I follow you.
AM}-H-"Oranos": And someone in return... Gets a nice royalty check though the door, for every unit sold.
LH~Leiden.Traverser: Specifically, what devices are you speaking of?
AM}-H-"Oranos": Well, we're looking towards the Optronics and Silicon-lattace type systems.
AM}-H-"Oranos": As much as Quantum computing is avalible, the requirements for them are unbelieveable.
AM}-H-"Oranos": And the miniturisation of light sourced computing can't beat the scale of silicon-lattace construction.
LH~Leiden.Traverser: I'm sure we could debate various technical specifications for quite some time. But let us discuss what our organizations can provide to each other. What do you wish from us?
AM}-H-"Oranos": Well... Mainly trade. A good flow of commerce between us and you.
LH~Leiden.Traverser: And what form would this trade take?
AM}-H-"Oranos": And maybe the occasional output of our tungsten based firearms.
AM}-H-"Oranos": We require security in terms of trade.
AM}-H-"Oranos": Well...a
LH~Leiden.Traverser: I believe we can reach an accommodation.
AM}-H-"Oranos": Well, a nice start would be with hopefully with agreements between our organizations.
LH~Leiden.Traverser: The Lane Hackers primarily deal in information, secondarily in more substantial forms of commerce.
AM}-H-"Oranos": And i would like to maintain that.
Your organization has been entered into our database, and I doubt any such incidents will occur again. If you so wish, I can forward to you compensation for your troubles, at my personal expense.
Indeed, I have not forgotten what we discussed, I have only been delayed by various pressing matters from establishing formal contact between our organizations.
We are particularly interested in two items which you might supply us with: liquid cardamine, and intelligence on various vessels. I am especially interested at this time in learning the disposition of ships affiliated with the so-called Battlegroup Auxesia, which are using this transponder: A/). I suspect you have become familiar with them, as they have been actively conducting interdiction operations in the Barrier passage for some weeks now. We would be pleased to accept information related to their long term intentions, as well as tactical data on their fleet roster, especially ship classes corresponding to individual pilots.
In return for these items, I am prepared to put a comparable array of services and capabilities at your disposal.
