With the fall of Vereinigte Widerstandsarmee the Bundschuh were disorganized and disoriented. Amidst the chaos Die Weiße Rose sect rose and assumed a leading role within the outlawed movement. This mission was designed for the purpose of gaining sensitive information on the organization through interrogation of their leader and intimidation through sheer brutality.
This is a high-profile Honeytrap technique as described in the Tactical Principles of Transport Interdiction. Any Lane Hacker who is looking into improving their own technique, may read this report.
Honeytrap relies solely on your manipulation skills. Lane Hackers with their unique intelligence levels have a natural inclination but you still need to constantly refine and upgrade this vital skill. When it comes to Honeytrap in particular these are the most important tips I can give:
Have a plan in mind before establishing contact. Do not contact your target unprepared.
Based on that plan rename your LH ship accordingly. Do not use tags which had been or are currently used in Sirius or can be directly attributed to a specific faction.
Quickly gain the attention of your target. If the target is in a hurry or uninterested do not drag your story for too long, but get to the point quickly. However if the target is suspicious then present your story as that will likely lower their defenses.
Based on the conversation quickly discern what your target is looking for. Credits, information, unique items or perhaps just some company? Do not plead. It is far easier to appeal to someone's self-interest than their mercy.
Feign disinterest, never reveal what you truly care about, stroke their ego and pride through compliments or otherwise by telling them they are incapable to fulfill your request, forcing them to double down instead. Do not insist on a specific location for the meeting as that will make them suspicious.
I am attaching the successful Honeytrap attempt on Albert Weis, leader of Die Weiße Rose. I convinced him to a) switch to a transport, b) pick up controversial and unethical cargo, c) meet me in a remote system within our Operational Zone. That was not easy as our Operational Zones are not overlapping with the Bundschuh. And finally, d) my ship's true identity was not revealed, setting the stage for a second Honeytrap attempt. (see Mission 70, Phase 3)

My name is Noburu Kiribatsi, I work for a respectable Keiretsu in Kusari. [08.05.2018 20:38:49]Keiretsu|-Noburu: With whom do I have the pleasure to speak with? [08.05.2018 20:39:05]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: This is Generaloberst Albert Weis, of DWR. [08.05.2018 20:40:18]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Ahh it is a pleasure to speak with you sir. Due to foreign policy our Keiretsu is of course hostile with the Bundschuh but I assure you I hold no ill feelings for your political movement. [08.05.2018 20:41:10]DWR|WKB-Deimos: Understood. What did you want to talk about? [08.05.2018 20:42:47]Keiretsu|-Noburu: I understand that your organization is close with those Gas miners in the Sigmas. It is a very unfortunate actually... They all have ill intentions and their families have bad name in Kusari... [08.05.2018 20:44:54]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: How do you know of our relations with the Gas Miners? [08.05.2018 20:45:33]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: And what is the Guild planning on doing that is so despicable? [08.05.2018 20:45:55]Keiretsu|-Noburu: They attacked my transport the other day and they spoke that they have friends in Rheinland [08.05.2018 20:46:34]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Since the authorities are enemies to the Gas miners and the Unioners and Red Hessians are all criminald unlike the honorable Bundschuh, I was lead to conclude that they referred to you. Am I wrong my friend? [08.05.2018 20:47:44]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: Excellent deduction skills. You have figured out our relationship with GMG. [08.05.2018 20:47:58]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: Still, why would they attack a Kusari citizen? [08.05.2018 20:48:32]Keiretsu|-Noburu: You know how ruthless the political scheming is in House Kusari.. we have to become part of it unfortunately.. [08.05.2018 20:48:49]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Because the GMG is hostile to my Keiretsu of course. [08.05.2018 20:48:59]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: I thought they were planning on aligning with Kusari, not going against it. [08.05.2018 20:49:14]Keiretsu|-Noburu: They have been attacking us for years [08.05.2018 20:49:54]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Anyway that's not the point of why I contacted you. I just wanted to point out from the beginning that my organization with yours is not in the best of terms, despite my personal feelings on this matter. [08.05.2018 20:51:23]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: Samura would be neutral to us under normal circumstances, but many in our group have a distaste for your involvement in the Munich Disaster. [08.05.2018 20:52:28]Keiretsu|-Noburu: I know, I know. [08.05.2018 20:52:57]Keiretsu|-Noburu: So about these Gas miners I wanted to speak with you. Are the Bundschuh trusting them or it is simply an alliance of convenience? Because if it is the latter, I don't think you'd be interested in what I have to offer you. [08.05.2018 20:54:01]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: We've had reason to trust the Guild for years. What do you have to offer us? [08.05.2018 20:55:16]Keiretsu|-Noburu: I really shouldn't be doing this but I always regarded the Bundschuh as men of honour so I would like first your promise not to get my name publicized, as that would ruin me and my family. [08.05.2018 20:56:25]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: Our supporters usually like to remain anonymous, so I see no reason to exempt you from anonymity. [08.05.2018 20:58:17]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Arigatou. Needless to say my Keiretsu strictly restricted anyone from exploiting this intel but I know this was a result of bribery and intimidation so my honor is preserved. [08.05.2018 20:59:52]Keiretsu|-Noburu: I have information about the Official Gas Miners dealing with a terrorist organization which resides in the Edge Worlds. [08.05.2018 21:00:40]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: Terrorists? Like the Outcasts, or Corsairs? [08.05.2018 21:01:28]Keiretsu|-Noburu: I am talking about the Core [08.05.2018 21:01:59]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Weapons exchange. Lots of it. [08.05.2018 21:02:13]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: The Core? That's troubling news indeed. [08.05.2018 21:02:28]Keiretsu|-Noburu: I can't recall their brand name [08.05.2018 21:02:40]Keiretsu|-Noburu: it was APM Munitions? Something like that [08.05.2018 21:03:17]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: AP Manufacturing Munitions. Some of the most effective side arms in the sector, on par with even ours. [08.05.2018 21:03:49]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Hai.. [08.05.2018 21:03:53]Keiretsu|-Noburu: And human cargo... [08.05.2018 21:03:54]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: These AP Manufacturers are owned by The Core, and build both their ships and Bounty Hunter ships. [08.05.2018 21:04:17]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Human cargo which according to the scans was packed too tightly with little possessions or clothing. [08.05.2018 21:04:32]Keiretsu|-Noburu: I would rather not call by name if it's possible.. It is too sickening to even think of it. [08.05.2018 21:05:18]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: I thought the Outcasts were the slave dealers, not The Core. Which side were the slaves from? [08.05.2018 21:05:51]Keiretsu|-Noburu: The Gas miners were the recipient of both the first and the second cargo. [08.05.2018 21:06:04]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: In exchange for credits, I presume? [08.05.2018 21:06:40]Keiretsu|-Noburu: I have no idea, I just have the scans and pictures of the joint convoy. [08.05.2018 21:07:24]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: I would highly suggest you send any visual footage you can to the Die Weisse Rose neural net account. [08.05.2018 21:07:54]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: If we have legitimate proof, then we can take action against these sickening deals. [08.05.2018 21:07:59]Keiretsu|-Noburu: I will but I would like to ask something from the honorable Rose [08.05.2018 21:08:08]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: What would that be? [08.05.2018 21:09:52]Keiretsu|-Noburu: My son, Hirataki, serves in the Navy and is ranked what you call someone in Rheinland as Oberst [08.05.2018 21:11:02]Keiretsu|-Noburu: He commanded a Kusarian Destroyer fighting the Republican forces in the civil war but in a battle his ship was heavily damaged after a hole ripped open the ship's hull. Have you ever seen how fire behaves in space? [08.05.2018 21:12:43]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: Ja. It's not a pretty sight. [08.05.2018 21:13:22]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Many members of his crew, including my son, were malformed before the fire was put out... [08.05.2018 21:14:01]Keiretsu|-Noburu: My son asked me before he died to do what is possible and helps his men but unfortunately this is not possible there are not enough transplants to replace the lost tissue and organs... [08.05.2018 21:15:12]Keiretsu|-Noburu: I have to look in the black market but I don't have the contacts.. can you help me? [08.05.2018 21:16:01]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: We'll see what we can do. Our contacts are many, but will require credits to give us the transplants needed. [08.05.2018 21:16:32]Keiretsu|-Noburu: I will give you credits and the intel, whatever you need. Please. [08.05.2018 21:17:09]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: Alright, then. Just tell me where they need to be delivered. [08.05.2018 21:17:23]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: We'll work out a price later. [08.05.2018 21:18:11]Keiretsu|-Noburu: I have heard that Heisenberg sells unlicensed human organs and tissue [08.05.2018 21:18:18]Keiretsu|-Noburu: The best ones in the black market [08.05.2018 21:18:42]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: Excellent, but we still need a location to deliver them to. [08.05.2018 21:18:57]Keiretsu|-Noburu: You know Rheinland's underworld.. please deal with those people there, we can meet somewhere remote to make the exchange. [08.05.2018 21:19:29]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: Verstanden. Once you contact us via the neural net, we can make arrangements there. [08.05.2018 21:19:51]Keiretsu|-Noburu: But my friend, this cannot wait! [08.05.2018 21:20:01]Keiretsu|-Noburu: I have to return to Kusari. [08.05.2018 21:20:27]Keiretsu|-Noburu: We can meet in Bremen. It is a remote system and I can easily run to the Sigmas and Kusari from there. [08.05.2018 21:21:03]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: Bremen. Sounds fine, as we have people there that can handle the transaction. [08.05.2018 21:21:29]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Err what kind of people? [08.05.2018 21:22:11]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: The same as I. DWR holds a base in Bremen, and our kind-hearted individuals will most certainly agree to help. [08.05.2018 21:22:34]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Will you arrange for a transport now? [08.05.2018 21:22:41]Keiretsu|-Noburu: I can wait [08.05.2018 21:23:10]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: Sure, I can do that. How many materials will you need? [08.05.2018 21:23:49]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Two thousand and five hundred crates will be enough for my son's crew. [08.05.2018 21:24:10]Keiretsu|-Noburu: But I want to meet you, you gave me your word and I trust you I don't know anyone else [08.05.2018 21:24:24]DWR|WKB-Deimos: A: Excellent, we'll get right on it. Prepare to switch frequencies, as I'll be on the transport itself. [08.05.2018 21:24:32]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Arigatou
[08.05.2018 21:25:54]DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Frequency switch complete. [08.05.2018 21:26:47]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Hello again Mr Weiss [08.05.2018 21:27:46]DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Guten Abend. I am onboard the Hammersee, a container transport with top-of-the-line defences. [08.05.2018 21:28:05]DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: We are close to Heisenberg, and will arrive within the hour. [08.05.2018 21:28:45]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Arigatou my friend, we are standing by in Hampshire [08.05.2018 21:29:59]DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Verstanden. My cargo team is preparing the containers now for immediate pickup. [08.05.2018 21:34:10]DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Materials acquired. We'll be taking a shortcut to Bremen, one not known to the Rheinwehr. [08.05.2018 21:35:06]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Very good. I am setting course for Bremen as well [08.05.2018 21:36:16]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Did you make sure you picked up enough tissues and organs? [08.05.2018 21:36:31]Keiretsu|-Noburu: I don't trust those black market vendors.. they always try to cheat you [08.05.2018 21:36:51]DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: We have 2500 aboard the ship now. They know not to rip us off, after the last bad deal they made. [08.05.2018 21:37:39]Keiretsu|-Noburu: My transport has 4300 cargo capacity so it can easily carry that size. [08.05.2018 21:39:39]DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Excellent. The Hammersee can carry 4200 cargo units worth of material, and we make sure to check the cargo for potential threats. [08.05.2018 21:40:34]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Do you agree that Heisenberg produces the best organs and tissues in the black market? [08.05.2018 21:40:39]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Everything I found lead me here.. [08.05.2018 21:41:10]DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: I agree, as do many others. Heisenberg is run by charitable scientists operating by their own strict codes. [08.05.2018 21:41:56]DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Although not legally maintained, some might say that their policies are stricter than the law's. [08.05.2018 21:42:42]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Hmm then it was a good call. How much this will cost me? [08.05.2018 21:44:10]DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: I'd say 10 million credits. I'm double checking with my logistictitian right now. [08.05.2018 21:44:49]Keiretsu|-Noburu: That is much less than I expected. For my son's memory I will offer you 20 millions for your generosity [08.05.2018 21:45:22]DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Danke. We'll be jumping into Bremen shortly. [08.05.2018 21:45:32]Keiretsu|-Noburu:He is jumping. [08.05.2018 21:46:32]DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: I've been intercepted by a Lane Hacker. [08.05.2018 21:46:43]Keiretsu|-Noburu:The show is all yours. I am 23K above your location. [08.05.2018 21:46:56]Keiretsu|-Noburu: What?! Were you followed? [08.05.2018 21:47:06]DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Most likely. [08.05.2018 21:47:08]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Why are they here? [08.05.2018 21:47:23]DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: I do not know why they came to Bremen. [08.05.2018 21:48:02]DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: I'm being forced to move to sector B6. [08.05.2018 21:48:14]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Okay I can wait [08.05.2018 21:48:19]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Do what you must my friend
[08.05.2018 22:36:02]DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: This is taking much longer than expected. [08.05.2018 22:36:12]DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Which sector are you in? [08.05.2018 22:36:41]Keiretsu|-Noburu: I am orbiting Oldenburg. How is it going? [08.05.2018 22:36:57]Keiretsu|-Noburu:Hammersee is contacting me. [08.05.2018 22:37:59]DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: He's going to destroy the cargo. [08.05.2018 22:38:16]Keiretsu|-Noburu: No! No! No! [08.05.2018 22:38:20]Keiretsu|-Noburu: This can't be! [08.05.2018 22:38:45]DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Broadcast your plea, Frau Noboru. [08.05.2018 22:38:57]Keiretsu|-Noburu:Once he's gone I can swoop in and take the cargo. [08.05.2018 22:39:02]DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Let him hear that I am not mistaken in helping you out. [08.05.2018 22:39:53]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Why are you doing this? You promised you'd keep this secret [08.05.2018 22:40:06]Keiretsu|-Noburu: I can't believe you did this to me [08.05.2018 22:40:09]DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: I cannot keep this secret, if I am about to die. [08.05.2018 22:40:27]Keiretsu|-Noburu: I am not admitting anything, it would ruin my family [08.05.2018 22:40:48]DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Then you get nothing, Frau. [08.05.2018 22:41:02]Keiretsu|-Noburu: You are so cold-hearted [08.05.2018 22:41:23]DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Your cargo is destroyed, because you would have me die before you could explain your situation to another. [08.05.2018 22:42:07]Mr.Blackfriar':He's leaving towards Hamburg. [08.05.2018 22:42:18]Keiretsu|-Noburu:How is the cargo? [08.05.2018 22:42:38]Mr.Blackfriar':Some was lost, currently 2200 units floating. [08.05.2018 22:42:50]Keiretsu|-Noburu:When he is out of detection range, let me know. [08.05.2018 22:42:55]Mr.Blackfriar':He is. [08.05.2018 22:43:13]Mr.Blackfriar':He should be jumping soon, we were near the jump hole. [08.05.2018 22:43:47]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Professor Yoshida: I trust your mania-interrogation was as smooth as I expect it to be? [08.05.2018 22:44:03]Mr.Blackfriar': I'l let you judge that, Professor. [08.05.2018 22:44:22]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Good. [08.05.2018 22:44:28]Keiretsu|-Noburu: Take point. New Hampshire. [08.05.2018 22:44:39]Mr.Blackfriar': Understood, moving forward.
As you can see within an hour after giving his word on the Kusarian, Generaloberst Albert Weis decided to betray him and reveal everything. Just like his predecessor, Erich Klugmann. NEVER forget that the Bundschuh are scum, they are the lowest form of life. They are like worms, feeding and festering on a healthy body. Never listen to them, never trust them. They pretend being bulwarks of morality yet they are ready to obtain Human Organs and transfer them to dubious people. The only thing they deserve is a good Hellflurry treatment.
After his Mania-Interrogation I collected his cargo and transferred it to Alcatraz Depot in California. Here is the visual proof: [①②③④⑤⑥⑦⑧⑨⑩⑪⑫⑬⑭⑮]
