For several weeks all of the genius and concentration of The Lane Hackers had been focused on one goal : obtaining data about a Lane Hacker convoy that had been lost in action. The convoy was composed of an elite wing of bodyguards that had been transporting representatives of The Lane Hacker Command Council from a high-level diplomatic meeting with the Mollys. Fortunately Sr. Director Moriarty was absent from the convoy and had only participated via virtual conference because of a tight schedule . The convoy was en route to Magellan from Dublin when its last communication with Mactan Base was received five weeks ago :
Quote:...its a trap!...[deafening crackles]those vile patsies caught us...[ deafening crackles] they came out from nowhere...[ deafening crackles]how did they know [ deafening crackles]we are under heavy fire...[ deafening crackles]there are too many of them[ deafening crackles]for god sake we are surrounded all around[ deafening crackles]Im requesting immediate aid[ deafening crackles]I repeat, Im reques[transmission interrupted]
The message did not contain any details about the assailants. Thirty-four days have already passed from the day that the message was received. Mere days ago, a group of sophisticated and experienced Lane Hacker Specialists certified in the most state-of-the-art hacking methods intercepted a large quantity of encrypted data being sent between New London and Manchester. The complexity of the encryption gave them a clue that those messages went through Bretonian Armed Forces secure comm channels. After further hacking, more accurate data has revealed the following: a comm connection was made from Newbury Station directly to BPA Newgate Prison:
located in Manchester and the main title of the communication was Lane Hacker. At this point there is no doubt that the Bretonian Police Authority is preparing a large-scale operation which is somehow connected with the missing convoy.
Shortly after receipt of the BAF comm message, an elite network of Lane Hacker spies was assigned to orchestrate one of the most complex, dangerous and unpredictable missions of their entire career: to directly initialize a hack inside Newbury Station in the Poole System to obtain all possible data about the missing Diplomatic Convoy . In case of being apprehended they all had been prepared for years against all possible methods of interrogation and even instructed to commit a suicide if necessary. Minutes after they successfully sneaked into Newbury Station, the first terabytes of data were sent to Mactan base. After long hours of constant work everything was clear:
The Bretonian Police Authority had prepared a trap which resulted in catching all diplomats from the Lane Hacker convoy. Unfortunately there was no sign of how they had been able to obtain information about this meeting and the convoys route. Information contained in hacked data indicated that all of them were still alive. Most importantly, BPA was preparing to move the prisoners from Newgate Prison to Newbury Station in Poole where they will be condemned to life imprisonment or even death. Transportation of the prisoners is scheduled to occur within the next few days.
Now all Lane Hackers are preparing to rescue the prisoners, whereas the Bretonian Police Authority takes steps to insure a secure transfer to Newbury Station.
- BPA will have a prison liner sitting on top of the Newgate Prison, to take away LH prisoners.
- LH have to breach the BPA defenses, if they succeed they will stand down and escort the Liner to Mactan.
- After about thirty minutes (or beforehand if LH will manage to destroy a whole escort) BPA will set off with few other ships from New London to come to aid. If they catch up the Prison Liner there will be 2 ways for Lane Hackers:
1) Take up a fight
2) Destroy the liner to stop the prisoners transfer (that will count as a draw)
- Liner will be heading to nearest trade lane on impulse speed and this way will work as a timer for BPA.
- In the most extreme situation for BPA (when Liner will be closing to Mactan or BPA forces will be outnumbered) they can manage to prevet libereting of the prisoners by shoting down a prison ship (that will count as a draw as well)
- Engaging cruise to catch up with the liner is allowed
Ships:
Lane Hackers - Slipstreams/Scimitars
Bretonia Police Authority - Hussars
Sounds like a great idea!
I would definately participate, if I can make it. I would propose the next weekend or rather the one after next, since I am quite busy at the moment too...
But the Raven, sitting lonely on that placid bust, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing further then he uttered; not a feather then he fluttered--
Till I scarcely more than muttered, "Other friends have flown before--
On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before."
<blockquote>Then the bird said, "Nevermore."</blockquote>

1. BPA is very low on funds. I don't think we can even afford a Prison Liner let alone start up new people after.
2. You guys should just come as fighters because we don't have our bomber squad set up and we only use Hussars.
1. Prison liner costs 72million... let's see what elgato says about that... (if you sell it right after you get half.. so that's 36million.. that's about an hour trading) If this should be a big problem I can "lend" you some money.
2. Ehm.... ever heard of LH ?.... we have [b] 1 GB [/] that most probably won't be used.
Igiss says: Martin, you give them a finger, they bite off your arm.
Ha, just throwing this out there, but why the BPA? The LPI already has a prison liner, the LPI-Alcatraz. But anyway, seems like a great idea, all for it.

Point was that BPA doesn't get enough action.....
but maybe we could use the LPI liner...
It's a prisoner transfer after all... so it might be prisoner transfer to Liberty.
Would you be interested in using it?

I am sure we could but I control the only Armory ATM and its got about half that. Anyway, donations are always excepted. :crazy:
And, I am not to familar with LH, but LF battles sound fun! Lets see what Elgat says cause I am all for it.

Actually, believe it or not I have seen a fair bit of action. UoG has been VERY active and recruiting and there are several traders that go through daily.
Problem is, there has to be a way for BPA to force a draw somehow as well.
Don't know if this is possible though.
It sounds like a good idea.
