Yesterday I managed to remotely mania interrogate a pilot of primary branch of Universal Shipping. I attach detailed interrogation transcript for instructional purposes in persuasive manipulation techniques.
Kind regards,

Surveillance log: New York, The Superbomber, 15th August
Soares: I wonder why they have so much trouble getting rid of you? Nicole Hunter: They couldn't stop us for years, why should it ever change? Soares: I don't understand how they couldn't from the beginning! Nicole Hunter: Because they are nothing but a bunch of corrupted lackwits. Soares: Corrupted? In what sense? And what about you? Are you not corrupted by your own interests? Nicole Hunter: My interests lie in changing the Liberty into a truly free society, free from corporatocratic dictatorship and pointless social restrictions. Soares: It is a nice ideal, but only theoretical I'm afraid. I don't see how your actions inside Liberty will ever amount to that end. I just can't see it. It seems pointless. I mean, do you have a specific plan? Nicole Hunter: At some point every great man in history heard the same. It's pointless, it's stupid, you will simply fall off at the end of the world... It's pointless, it's stupid, you will never make this thing fly... It's pointless, it's stupid, man will never leave the Solar system... Soares: You should keep your comparison with politics, because this looks much more like politics and you should know better than anyone that you cannot change a system by yourself, you won't change this society. Nicole Hunter: You're nothing more than a corporatocratic slave that has been taught obedience. So I don't blame you for not seeing that there is always another way. Soares: I domesticated myself to work for the maximum profit and that includes making the right allies. Nicole Hunter: But such things happened too. It's stupid, it's pointless, black people will never have rights equal to white... Should I even continue? Soares: Also, you should know obedience is one of the most important factors while living in a community, obedience and respect. It seems to be rather pointless trying to talk some sense into you. We live in two different realities, just know, that violence rarely achieves anything rather than more violence. Nicole Hunter: We live in one reality, it's just you don't see it, wearing the glasses that your masters have put on your eyes. Soares: That is the same talk I hear from all Hackers and also some Rogues for that matter. That we are living under an illusion and can't see the truth. You should stop and try to figure out if it is not you who are deluded. What was it that the government did that was so bad to all you Lane Hackers?! I've heard some of you were ex-Ageira's employees. Nicole Hunter: It's only natural that you instinctively protect the illusion in which you're living. You subconsciously know that if you tried to question it your sense of security would be endangered. That is why you are selling your free will for protection and security. You abide the rules, you internalize them, you even think they are your own. Soares: This is just some crazy conspiracy talk. Nicole Hunter: It's not conspiracy. It's a simple conclusion drawn from the fact that Liberty society in it's current form is designed to suit interests of the few. Soares: That just seems to be the reality of human nature. Selfishness, since the dawn of time. Usually it is the rich that dominate over the poor, saying it in a nutshell. Nicole Hunter: For instance, the war between Liberty and Rheinland. Who is getting the most profit from it, especially its embargoes? Answer yourself a question, who was given the vast exemptions from trade embargoes on Rheinland? Soares: And where are you getting at? Nicole Hunter: The war with Rheinland does not make sense but it's kept going in order to allow those few profit insanely on their monopolies. And now tell me that the Liberty government is not corrupted and works in the interest of few, not the majority. Soares: I do not totally disagree on what you've just said, but how does that concern the Hackers? Or to put it more specifically, how Hackers attacking Liberty and most of all harassing freelancers and civilians, is helping the change? Nicole Hunter: We are the few who saw the corruption on our own eyes and decided to do what it takes to alter the current state of affairs. By destabilizing the Liberty Navy and contractual business obligations of major Liberty corporations we hope to achieve one thing, that the current oppressive establishment is removed from power and a new one is erected in its place. Soares: Under your logic I can understand your attacks on Liberty Navy and corporations, but all seems hypocritical when I witness Hackers like yourself harassing civilians or wandering freelancers that sometimes also fall prey to Hackers like yourself. Nicole Hunter: We do not harass innocent civilians. Enterprising freelancers are usually warm welcomed by us and asked for symbolic donations to our cause. Soares: Well, that is not what I see most of the time. I've witnessed civilians and freelancer being harassed. Nicole Hunter: We often educate them in our ways and try to open their eyes to hypocritical and puritanical establishment of Liberty. Sometimes they are so firmly attached to the illusion in which they live that we had to try our best to wake them up. Not always we are successful at that. Soares: By force, and here's the reason of all problems - violence. I'm just saying this from what I see from my point of view, to me Hackers act just like terrorists. Nicole Hunter: Many of so called 'civilians' are only Liberty provocateurs who fall into aggressive trance on the first sight of our transponders. Those we put down. Soares: That is most likely because they fear you and with reason, because Hackers rarely show any mercy. Nicole Hunter: Standing idle and talking about how bad it is has never achieved anything. Hence we took arms and do what has to be done. Soares: That is what I totally disagree. I think it is arms that never achieve anything. And it is by talking that we can evolve and change. By using violence like you have been doing, the only way you would achieve your goal, would be to annihilate everyone opposed to your ideals. And that will be just impossible because they are just too many. Nicole Hunter: Only those open for a change can be reasoned with. You seem to be one of them. Most are not. And no, not annihilate. Educate. Masses would follow new example when it is introduced. It has been done many times in our history and it can be done again. Soares: What you said, 'It has been done many times in our history', and we still have groups like yours that disagree with the masses and will try again to change everything and we'll enter an infinite vicious circle. As much as I've liked to have this peaceful chat with you, I need to work so I can afford my livelihoods. I am closing this broadcast channel. Goodbye.
