--- Message from LH-Cypher ---
My name is LH-Cypher and i was a new recruit for the Lane Hackers. Untill i got caught in one of the frequent Ion storms that have been hitting the Sirius sector lately. During one of the first storms my ship suffered a total black-out in Omicron-Alpha. The last thing i saw was an Outcast base. Hoping i would get there in time. But i was to late.
Due to the excellent life-support systems of the l3GS-1 Lane Hacker Gunship, i managed to stay alive. With only 5% power output remaining. It was just enough to keep the analog machine running. Only i was drifting through space without any control over my gunship!
When the storm dissipated after a few days. I managed to get my power output up to 40%. So i could scan where i was. The scanner didn't look good at all. I had drifted into Nomad space!!!
During a hellish two months of searching for a way back to friendly space. I encountered many Nomad ships, unknown anomalies and isolated planets. Using the knowledge of my Lane Hacker training i succeeded to avoid hostile contact. At the same time i was able to collect important data about the Nomad sectors.
Finaly i found the jumphole to Omicron-Alpha. I plotted a course towards it and freedom was looking me in the face again. But behind my back the Nomads where planning an ambush. I though i had reached Outcast space undetected. It gave me a euphoric feeling, much better than cardamine. Only 10 kilometers from the jumphole i noticed the Nomads on a interception course with my ship. And they were closing in FAST.
I reached the jumphole and entered it. Hoping the Nomads would not follow me into Omicron-Alpha. I was wrong. The small fleet followed me into Oucast space and my situation looked very grimm. They were gaining on me and my weaponsystems where still offline. Suddenly my scanners showed a massive Outcast fleet heading towards my position.
They had detected the Nomads in their system and where on their way to exterminate them. I still suffer heavy damage from the Nomad attack, before the Oucasts could engage. Once they did the battle ended quickly in the Oucasts favor. The Nomads were eliminated and i got my ship repaired in Omicron-Alpha.
Now i'm searching for fellow Lane Hackers. Hoping to get back into your ranks and assist where ever possible against Liberty corruption. My faith in the Hacker goals are fortified by my experience and i'm ready for service.
