Good day. The Technician mission, as I mentioned in the Mission Archives too, didn't end. Mr Kento was in debt for "saving" his life and I decided to make use of that by asking for information about IC illegal activities. The intel that he gave me wasn't anything extremely important, but it still remains juicy.
Even though you can read the whole transmission by accessing this link, I can briefly describe that Kusari Intelligence caught some IC transports breaking the embargo, in Shikoku system. He also stated some interesting things about the IC Barge, Atlantis, being hijacked and stolen by The Society, a pirate gang.
Anyway I have to report that I have encountered many times the collectors, a junker group. They use Magellan to move to Bretonia and then move southwards to the Red Hessians. They transport human cargo, mostly slaves, to Freital Base. In return they bring Blood Diamonds to Niverton. They respect us since they always stop for a little chat before they keep moving. Also, I found an Outcast on a Broadsword who didn't have authorisation to use such ship. He said that he will change it... Uploading data: ••••••
While I was brainstorming about a possible target for mania-interrogation, I aimed in finding a target who was part of the Navy or LSF in order to have the possibility to acquire intel about Alaska or other classified projects. I decided to interrogate a member of the Corona Battlegroup, a LN group which operates in the borders and it's not designed to actively participate in conflicts. So I moved to Shikoku Gate in Kepler system and quickly hacked a comm channel of a CB pilot and I pretended being a transport under attack by a rookie pirate in the Colorado Gate. Even though he started coming to assist me on his transport, in the end he switched to his fighter and came to my position. Fortunately, I had taken a safety measure since I was in Shikoku Gate and not in the Colorado one. That gave me some precious moments and then a Zoner Whale jumped from Shikoku carrying Alien Organisms for Ames. I switched to system-wide frequencies and demanded him to come to my position. All this time Mr Largo was assisting me on his bomber. Then, in order to save the Zoner he accepted my demand to move to a radiation cloud in order to have some talking. You can read the rest in the chatlog.
Result: Even though I was aiming in humiliating him before I start aqcuiring intel, in fact I wasn't successful, since he admitted he was "dirty" and he also revealed many secrets about Corona Battlegroup. I already sent a message to them, asking for more information. Oh and I passed the mania interrogation, by Professor Sanguinetti.
