Let me introduce myself; my name is Daniel Kirkand. You've probably not seen me as I've not seen you. Anyway, getting to the point, I usually do the Lane Hacker thing around Liberty. Im sure you can imagine what that is.
Look, strictly speaking, Im a Hacker. But in all honesty, Im far more interested in optical computing and an intellectual conversation than kicking the pennies out of an honest worker. I've a masters in optical computing after all, not a masters in the art of arse-kicking. Which brings me on to my request...
The Lane Hacker Gunship is an amazing piece of engineering, if not such a good combat vessel. Frankly, I've already scouted one out and it looks like a comfortable ship to live in as well as ply my own hobbies, which include earning enough to get by with a little savings on the side and constructing optical matricies. Its a much better place to wake up in than my current Bayonet, thats for sure. It also looks like I can fit my bayonet inside it with a little bit of persuasion.
Problem is, someone sees a lane hacker in, say, the omegas, and that particular someone has a coronary from not being able to process the relevant information, or link the words "hacker" and "omega" together. Now, I've never particularly subscribed to the old mantra of the Lane Hackers, as I've said. I do want to take this ship places I can't otherwise go, to see what's out there. Liberty's getting bland and the lack of intelligence is just ridiculous.
That's why I'd like to apply for Pirate ID papers and a Freelancer transponder with this Lane Hacker Gunship. I'd also like to use Lane Hacker weaponry on this gunship, if it were granted.
I can finance the purchase myself, and you can rest assured that it will be well armed and armoured.
I just want a ship that wont fall apart at the first sight of a nuclear mine, you know? One where I don't wake up with cramp in my back, and one where I can play with my fibre optics without the place becoming like a pigsty.
Hopefully, you'll be able to see my position.
P.S. Can you also authorise my current bayonet to make use of the Pirate ID papers, please?

Hmm. Intellectual conversation instead of blowing things up?
I think I like you. A refreshing change from the usual "I'm hacker because I pop Liberty cops", I can see you might actually put the advanced equipment to proper use.
Now comes the problem of where you can obtain one from. The Hellfire isn't making any anymore. But - LaBrie has an old ship that's been gathering dust, ever since he obtained the Never.Enough from the Rogues. So, I think that will work out quite nicely for you. He'll miss it, but he'll get over it.. maybe..
The ship will be affixed with the proper transponder within a day's time, and will be waiting on Mactan Base. I assume you have the capabilities to find it.
All I ask in return is that you owe us a favour in the future.
