' Wrote:Greetings Senior Director Moriarty, My names is Capt. Ryan Wells an independant pilot of the ships War Emblem. I would like to request permission to purchase a I3GS-1 Lane Hacker Gunship at full price. My purpose for this purchase is to assist me in my operations in the Omegas and Omicrons against the Corsair presence in those systems. Also it will help me in my operations against all house police and military, first and foremost the Liberty House.
...
As you might know, the directors tend to get very busy, especially in the research & development season that is getting a bit overstretched. Nevertheless ... we are pleased to receive the extra credits that will be used to pay the expensive servicing. A gunship that has been decommissioned from regular service is standing by for pickup at Mactan base. There's not much room left in the cargo hold because of the extra plating and backup power coupling and various hull-repair kit.
Be advised, our gunships have not been buillt primarily for combat and without the special sensitive equipment (that is not included in this package) they can only act as light support craft for fighters. Keep that in mind and she will serve you long and well. Oh and ... keep your shields up.

Less than an hour ago, a Lane Hacker Guard Phate raided my transport mumbling something about my boron shipment. Needless to say, we have different views on the ways of the world. You have high ethics on who is your enemy and who is not, we have high ethics on how to treat outsiders. I'm quite surprised you choose to tax a Junker in your desperation. You should be aware, that hostility towards a single Junker means hostility towards all Junkers.
We are aware of that. However, this does not apply in your case. The number of junker frauds has been increasing exponentially for the last two months and unless you seriously change your attitude, you will still be considered an impersonator.
Also note, that Lane Hackers do not "TAX" any shipments. We are not one of those "house authorities" that the Junkers have to evade every day. You were rightfully relieved of your ill-gotten credits gained by supporting the destructive and oppressive Liberty commerce. Also, tell me, since when are Junkers a shipping corporation? I am fairly certain they would not like to be treated as such by any of the outlawed groups they deal with.
Quote:Now, negotiations are born to be made. Sometimes there are more profits, and sometimes less. If a good excuse and rationale is given, tax may be carried. What really ticks me off, though, is that Phate deliberately shot off three class 4 transport turrets from me, which I now need to go replace at Omicron Delta, causing a detour during which I'm losing some 10-20 million credits in profit.
Your deviant shipping profits are of no interest to us. Loss of equipment is a consequence of your misbehavior. Quite amusing, I must say. Another proof that you are not a true Junker:

Why was I, then, going to purchase transport turrets from Rochester the other day, when it has an abundant supply? Oh wait ... perhaps the Junkers won't sell them to you because they can see right through you? And you have to rely on the Zoners or Corsairs to get standard equipment.
*chuckle*
Quote:I'm sure you find all this quite an amusing idea. I currently find using all possible assets, contacts and leverage to severely diminish and wither down your cardamine shipments an amusing idea.
Such threats are met with deadly force. Don't push it. Our assassins are not as tolerant as I am.
Quote:Our Junker bases are open for a multitude of different factions due to our extended hospitality, which includes us keeping our distance from various pirate factions' activities and let everyone profit the best way they know. We are the go-between, negotiators, clerks and ambassadors. Might I remind you, this said hospitality is not limitless to those who blatantly abuse it.
There's a small catch. Those are not your bases. You are not a Junker. You do not act like one = you will not be treated as one. You fail to understand basic Junker principles and still you are trying to hide behind their name as the rest of the pathetic imposters. Shame.
Quote:You might wonder, why the message is visible and still you can't discover how I hacked the system. Let's just say, it is nice to have hacker friends leaving backdoors open for their Junker friends. Because friends do that to eachother instead of pissing them off.
In your perverse dreams, only. As I stated in reply to the previous message, the Lane Hacker directors have much more important matters to resolve. Responding to fools is not on top of our priority list.
One more thing. Even if you were a Junker (which is very unlikely), Magellan is not a Junker system. It is not a Junker base. Nor does it have any in it. If you wish to keep your openly unfriendly attitude towards the Lane Hackers while flying through their waters ... enjoy the rest of your short life while you still can.
