Greetings

Here is an explanation of the more ambiguous points mentioned in the recording.

Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Well, we meet at last.
Jack_Denton: Greetings
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: As you have no doubt guessed, I am Kasper Martin
Jack_Denton: Indeed, nice to meet you in person
((we had been discussing the details of the deal for some time over a secure neural net channel, this was the first time I had seen him in person))
Jack _Denton: Do you wish to move further away from these bounty hunters?
((some Bounty hunters guild ships had taken offense at his presence, I don't know why, and began to shoot him))
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Allow me to reiterate how happy we are that you came to us
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Yes let'€™s get some space
Jack_Denton: Head for Nauru
((Nauru is a planet that I had seen in the distance, it was relatively deserted on the dark side))
Jack_Denton: this should be sufficient
((we arrived at Nauru))
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: yes indeed
Jack_Denton: So down to business, I will begin the download if you wish
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Yes, please begin. This is a dangerous system.
Jack_Denton: ---Download commencing---
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: I have your credits right here in a sealed, scanner-proof case
Jack_Denton: ---Download Complete---
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Now for your payment'€¦
((he sent over a case filled with credit cards, however the credits contained in the case were orders of magnitude smaller than we had agreed on, somewhere to the tune of 195 million less))
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Enjoy!
((at this point he shot a cruise disrupter at my ship and charged his own cruise engines))
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Blast
((a small patrol of nomads intercepted his ship and fired apon him, however he easily escaped them))
Jack_Denton: all crew to battle stations
Jack_Denton: darn this ship
((this is around the point where we regained control of the ship and started to give chase, unfortunately our cruise engines were crippled by the damage caused by the cruise disrupter))
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Haha!
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: I'€™ve disrupted your cruise engines
Jack_Denton: I want cruise engines online now!
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: You'€™ll never catch me
Jack_Denton: You will hear from me again Ageira scum
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: We couldn'€™t have anyone exposing our secrets
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Sorry buddy
Jack_Denton: You have not heard the last of me, you will find that the access codes to the Privas probes have been changed
Jack_Denton: At least you will not get that information
((the Privas planetary cluster is a planetary formation in Gallia, it consists of four large planets in a stable orbit around a small planetoid, my studies of the cluster showed that it was in fact an artificial phenomenon created by the Daam K'Vosh. The probes I used to conduct the research are still inside the planets and can be accessed remotely using a special code, when accessed they can be used to scan the planets in real time.))
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: What? No!
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Damn you!
Jack_Denton: we will see how well you can understand the technology without the scans from Privas!
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: You'€¦ thief and spy!
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Don'€™t expect a warm welcome in Liberty'€¦
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: or any of the places we call home.
Jack_Denton: It will sadden me to leave my homeland but so be it
Jack_Denton: You may be interested to know that I recorded our encounter, I thought it wise in case something like this happened'€¦
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: No one will believe you, some random stranger
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: over the words of our prestigious corporation.
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: You stole our data, and I recovered it.
Jack_Denton: Still'€¦ it would be a big coincidence if your company made such startling advances just after I show this footage around wouldn'€™t it?
Jack_Denton: Especially considering the research logs of mine available on the neural net if anyone wanted to check'€¦
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: No one will ever know the truth'€¦ once we silence you, once and for all.
Jack_Denton: It would be an interesting experience for all involved I think'€¦
Jack_Denton: if your company should openly attack me
Jack_Denton: I may look frail but rest assured I am not a shabby pilot
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: We'€™ll see how you face against some of the best-paid pilots in Sirius.
Jack_Denton: You forget I have an advantage'€¦ The JHCs'€¦ I can move at will around Sirius'€¦ within limitations of course
((JHC stands for Jump Hole Creation device, this is the technology I was selling Airgea. The device allows the creation of an artificial Jump Hole connected to any other Jump Hole in Sirius. In effect it allows one to move from one side of Sirius to the other almost instantly. You can see why Airgea would want the technology.))
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: We'€™ll be waiting for you, Jack Denton
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: I have little else to say to a thief.
Jack_Denton: Likewise'€¦ It is a shame our relationship had to end this way'€¦it could have been a fruitful partnership
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: Enjoy life while you can, Denton
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: and remember'€¦ it'€™s nothing personal
Jack_Denton: '€œthe future doesn'€™t exist, the past never happened, all that matters is the present
((this is something my friend once told me, it seemed an appropriate quote))
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: *you hear a chuckling* Goodbye
Ageira|Olympus.Mons: {{CONTACT TERMINATED}}

I think that is everything ambiguous explained, if not please point it out to me and I will explain it.

Here are my research logs on the Privas cluster and a sample of the JHC schematics.
